So, although Teuchi couldn't guess Danzo's identity or status, he was certainly aware that this old man should be quite influential and high-ranking in Konoha.
Although he looked cold and stern, even a bit harsh, and not very likable, from Teuchi's perspective, he should still be a high-ranking official in Konoha. He wouldn't do anything bad to "guests" and two small children, right...?
This was truly where Teuchi's guess went completely wrong.
What Shimura Danzo did in Konoha Village was completely the opposite of what ordinary people would imagine or consider logical!
If one were to use the mindset of an ordinary person, or even an ordinary ninja, to imagine what this leader of Root would do next, they would definitely be taken by surprise and suffer!
"You're that fellow who caused a stir in the village not long ago, named Luffy or something, right...?"
Danzo spoke rather impolitely, which was natural. He had been the Hokage in the shadows in the village for decades.
Even the true Hokage—the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze—didn't act too high and mighty in front of him.
In Konoha Village, Danzo could truly be said to be above everyone, second to none.
After decades like this, naturally, he had developed a bad temper.
"Huh?!" Luffy could already sense the old man's malice. He was wondering why he didn't know this man at all, and yet he was emanating so much ill will.
He didn't expect the old man to actually step on his nose and proactively provoke him!
"Who told you this village welcomes outsiders...? I heard you also injured one of our people... Is that right?"
Danzo himself had come to test this "descendant from the heavens," Luffy, to see what he was truly capable of and if he posed a threat. So naturally, he spoke without politeness.
As for why he had such strong backing, it was worth noting that Danzo rarely appeared in front of Konoha ninja.
But his strength was such that, even compared to the Five Kage in the entire ninja world, he was not inferior in the slightest!
"No!" It was Kakashi-sensei who made the first move! Later, Kakashi-sensei also proactively admitted his mistake!"
Naruto wasn't even present at the time, but the way he spoke made it sound like he was the direct witness.
But then again, if Naruto hadn't spoken up, Sasuke probably wouldn't have brought it up proactively either.
After all, even in the village and at school, Sasuke rarely interacted with people from his own village, or even classmates from the same class.
Moreover, this was an old man they had never seen before.
"Where do you get off talking like that?!"
Danzo didn't care about anything that could potentially affect his control over the entire "big picture," or even things he found displeasing.
For example, Sasuke, this "survivor" of the Uchiha clan.
For example, Naruto, and the powerful Nine-Tails chakra inside his body... These two guys were still young, but they were absolutely unstable factors!
As he spoke, Danzo lifted the cane beside him and swung it towards Naruto!
"Ah!" Naruto, being the closest, only managed to let out a gasp of surprise.
"Watch out!" Sasuke anxiously reached out to pull Naruto. But in such a short time, he might not reach Naruto, and Naruto might get hurt!
"Hey?! What are you doing?! At your age, how can you lay hands on a child?!"
It was Luffy who grabbed Danzo's outstretched cane!
This instantly startled everyone!
Sasuke had witnessed the battle between Luffy and Kakashi before, so he somewhat had a mental preparation.
But others, like Naruto, and Teuchi, the ramen shop owner, and also Shimura Danzo... they had never seen anyone whose arm could stretch two or three meters long, bending and twisting to grab something from two people away!
Naruto and Teuchi were just watching the spectacle, exclaiming, "What's going on?" and "How can it stretch so long?"
But Danzo's shock was not limited to this.
What truly shocked him was that when Luffy used this ability, which clearly looked like some kind of ninjutsu or kekkei genkai, there wasn't even the slightest trace of chakra flowing in his body... No, he couldn't even sense any chakra!
It was at this moment that Danzo (bdag) truly realized how different this "descendant from the heavens" was.
It should be known that although others couldn't see what was going on with the eye under the bandage, he himself knew clearly: it was a Sharingan!
Even wrapped in layers, the Sharingan was still functioning, continuously consuming a huge amount of chakra.
This was the price of a foreign clan forcibly transplanting a Uchiha Sharingan.
Naturally, Danzo could also partially borrow the power of the Sharingan to see the chakra flow in enemies.
Of course, it wasn't as exaggerated as the Byakugan, but mimicking individual ninjutsu was simple!
Now Danzo finally realized why he felt a trace of unease the moment he walked in.
It turned out that in this ramen shop, two of his five people had no chakra whatsoever!
Teuchi was an ordinary person, no need to mention him. But Luffy had just defeated Kakashi!
Danzo naturally knew Kakashi's abilities as a former ANBU ninja.
He had also received the news of Kakashi's severe injury immediately.
But how could someone who defeated Kakashi have no chakra in their body?!
"Get lost!"
Danzo's thoughts spun through his mind. He waved his hand, wanting to shake off Luffy's rubber-like hand.
But as he swung his arm, he actually pulled Luffy's arm, which stretched like noodles!
Naruto didn't know what to say at this moment. He opened his mouth wide and even glanced at Teuchi, the ramen shop owner.
Meaning, Teuchi, the shop owner, must have seen this kind of activity often, an arm that stretches like noodles?
Luffy also grew impatient. He let go of his hand, and his arm, indeed like rubber, thwack! snapped back!
"What are you flailing around for?! It's really annoying!"
"Also, old man, you're a bit too rude! You're not good to strangers, and you're very bad to children!" Danzo's brows furrowed tightly.
Unable to sense the opponent's chakra, he couldn't formulate a plan based on the opponent's chakra nature to defeat him.
This was a very obvious thing, and it completely went against Shimura Danzo's decades of combat experience and common sense!
"You are not welcome here! Please leave quickly!"
Danzo didn't even eat his ramen. He glared at Luffy and stood up.
This fellow who had inexplicably arrived in the village was truly strange. Before understanding more, it was better to observe for a while...
"Why should Mr. Luffy leave? Even Lord Hokage agreed for Mr. Luffy to stay!"
Naruto immediately stepped forward! He had already spent money, invited a guest, and eaten ramen... If he chased the person away now, he would be the one who lost the most!
