Chapter 009 A Difficult Task

The Fire Country Daimyo's Mansion.

Aburame Ryoma, carrying Danzo's souvenirs, had basically no obstacles in the Fire Country.

Several other letters had been delivered to the target through spies from other countries, and the letter to the Fire Country Daimyo was delivered by Aburame Ryoma in person.

"Anbu's people?"

As soon as he approached the Daimyo's Mansion, a figure wearing a ninja vest suddenly appeared in front of Ryoma.

Ryoma saw the man's appearance clearly, and after confirming that it was correct, he said calmly: "Danzo has a letter to deliver to the Daimyo."

The man in front of him was called Sarutobi Asuma, the son of the Third Hokage, from Konoha Village, and joined the Twelve Guardians to protect the Daimyo.

The Twelve Guardians are a Daimyo guard team composed of the elite among the twelve Jōnin.

Ninjas who can reach the level of Jōnin are extremely rare in the ninja world, let alone the elite among the Jōnin.

But in this Daimyo's Mansion, there are twelve people who specialize in protecting the Daimyo.

"Danzo?"

Asuma frowned. If it was a letter from Danzo, then the man in front of him should be a ninja from the root.

He had not heard his father say that there was anything that needed to be confirmed with the daimyo recently.

"Come in."

As they were both from Konoha Village, Asuma did not stop Aburame Ryoma, but followed him silently.

He was a little confused. What letter did Danzo send to the daimyo without telling his father.

Arriving at the main house, the daimyo, who had been notified, sat on a cotton mat and drank tea. Seeing Ryoma coming, a smile appeared on his chubby face.

"Danzo, what letter do you have for me?" the daimyo asked.

Before Ryoma could answer, another guardian ninja standing next to the daimyo shouted: "Why don't you take off your mask when you see the daimyo!"

Asuma, who followed Ryoma into the house, frowned and looked at the man who scolded him.

This man was not from Konoha Village, but an elite ninja trained by the daimyo. He had an inexplicable hostility towards the ninjas of Konoha. When he first came to the daimyo, this guy often made things difficult for him.

"The identity of the ninjas of the root is secretive, and they will not take off their masks. Please forgive me, daimyo." Asuma explained for Ryoma.

"How presumptuous!"

The man was about to say something, but the daimyo waved his hand and said lazily: "Forget it, I don't want to see the ugly faces of these civilians."

The smile on his chubby face became a little stiff, and his eyes stared at Ryoma, waiting for his reaction.

Ryoma did not react at all to the humiliation of the two men.

He calmly handed over the letter and disappeared as a black shadow.

...

Konoha seemed a little quiet under the night.

The entire Konoha Village is now only allowed to enter but not leave. Before dawn, the ninjas have hurriedly gathered for drills.

In the past few days, civilians have also felt a slightly different situation.

"I heard that there will be another war."

"That's right. My son has to go to the training ground every day before the sun comes out."

"What a world, ah!"

Hearing the discussions on the street, Danzo's face was full of sorrow. He failed to win people's hearts again.

Since Might Guy was convinced a few days ago and contributed a little touching value, Danzo has been lobbying among the ninjas he knows who have emotional shortcomings.

With the premise of seniority and the Cloud Shinobi Village as the purpose, although these ninjas don't want to contact him, they can only listen to him patiently one by one.

One sentence, two sentences...

Danzo applied his lifelong learning to Ultimate. Knowing the emotional defects of these people in advance, the persuasion process seemed unusually smooth.

These ninjas who have experienced war and are far more emotional than civilians are all excited under Danzo's conquest, and the effect is very good.

But it is impossible for everyone to be convinced by Danzo's persuasion. There are still many people who don't care about this kind of paper talk.

Clicking on the status bar, he just came out of the home of a retired Root Ninja, who was not very friendly to him.

So he did not get his recognition, and naturally did not get any Touching Points.

The 8 points of Touching Points obtained were used on the "Ninja" attribute, raising it from 4 to 5, and Danzo's total attribute finally reached 50 points.

Details are as follows:

Ninja: 5

Tertiary: 8

Illusion: 3

Wise: 8

Strength: 7

Speed: 7

Energy: 8

Seal: 4

Total: 50

Here is the rule of adding points and consuming Touching Points:

From 1 to 2, consume 1 Touching Point;

From 2 to 3, consume 2 Touching Points;

From 3 to 4, consume 4 Touching Points;

From 4 to 5, consume 8 Touching Points;

And so on...

From 9 to 10, consume 256 Touching Points.

In other words, if Danzo wants to max out "Ninja", he still needs 486 Touching Points.

And to max out all eight attributes, thousands of Touching Points are needed.

This is definitely a very difficult task for Danzo.

He needs time to strengthen his own strength.

Although there are almost no people in the village who dare to fight him, there are many people who want to fight him.

He tried to seal with his hands, but it was a little awkward and stiff.

Danzo sighed helplessly. He had no experience in this kind of seal-casting in his previous life.

Although he had the memory of the original owner as a teacher, he was still lacking in the actual performance.

At least in terms of seal-casting speed, Danzo might not even be as good as a Genin now.

Genin...

Thinking of this title, Danzo suddenly remembered that the Genin of Konoha Village was not ordinary.

It should be worse than Chūnin.

Danzo silently corrected his evaluation of his seal-casting speed in his heart.

However, this matter is not urgent for the time being. There is no news about the letter sent to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, and the news about the killing of the Cloud Shinobi Village delegation has not been passed on.

As long as he accumulates enough moving points and maxes out the physical skills first, even if he does not use ninjutsu, those guys can't do anything to him.

Nowadays, he knows that there are still many root ninjas who can provide him with moving points and have emotional defects.

These Root Ninjas used to be loyal to him on the surface, but it was more because of the curse seal.

But now it is different. Having lived two lives, Danzo's brainwashing ability is not much worse than that guy Orochimaru.

Under the guidance of strength, status, fame and fortune, these people who contributed to the moving value, whether on the surface or in their hearts, have completely recognized and admired Danzo.

As long as they don't really do things that are too bad for their character, these people will not betray Danzo.

"What smells so good..."

At noon, Danzo, who was strolling around, smelled the aroma of ramen.

Looking up, what came into view was a familiar noodle shop——.
