Chapter 105 is out on patreon!!!
_______________
It had been nearly four months.
In terms of raw combat power, Kanda Rokuro hadn't actually improved all that much.
However, his ability to survive had increased significantly.
Now, if he were to face a standard Jōnin like Hanata, he would dare to clash with him head-on.
Perhaps he couldn't defeat Hanata, but Hanata wouldn't be able to inflict any harm on him either.
After thoroughly reviewing his current situation.
He returned to his room.
He had to report to the school tomorrow.
He needed to think carefully about how to arrange things moving forward.
This year.
Among the "Konoha 12," aside from Neji Hyūga, Rock Lee, and Tenten, who were already in school, the other nine were also enrolling one after another. He might just run into them this time.
Uzumaki Naruto.
They were already acquainted.
Although they hadn't seen each other for a few months, he believed Naruto definitely remembered him.
As for the others.
He wanted to make contact with them too, to see if he could get his hands on their clans' secret techniques later. Even if he might not learn them, he simply had to have them.
With these thoughts in mind.
Rokuro drifted off to sleep.
He slept until dawn.
Before he even got out of bed.
Hanata ran over and knocked on the door.
"Rokuro, get up right now! We have to go to school soon!"
Rokuro got up at a leisurely pace.
Since he was pretending not to want to go to school, he had to be the last one to arrive.
So he wasn't in a hurry.
After getting up, he took a shower and tidied up, taking a full half-hour before finally opening the door and walking out.
Outside the door.
Hanata's face was dark.
Seeing Rokuro, he snorted coldly.
"Rokuro, are you a sloth? It took you that long just to get out of bed?!"
"None of your business!"
Rokuro glared at Hanata.
"If you don't want to wait, just go back. I'd be more than happy not to go to school. I'll just say you refused to take me!"
Hanata's expression twitched.
Meeting Kanda Rokuro was truly the worst luck of his life.
A dignified Jōnin.
Outside, he commanded respect and authority.
But in front of Rokuro, his treatment was worse than that of a servant.
If Danzo hadn't insisted he stay and refused to replace him, he would rather go on life-or-death missions. Dying in battle was better than being angered to death by Kanda Rokuro.
After cursing Rokuro silently for a bit, Hanata turned and walked away.
"Let's go, hurry up. Don't waste time!"
Rokuro followed behind, walking at a leisurely pace.
By the time Hanata had walked over ten meters, Rokuro had only moved one.
The sight made Hanata want to cough up blood.
Watching Rokuro inch forward step by step, Hanata gritted his teeth and said,
"My little ancestor, can you please hurry up? If you're any slower, we'll miss the opening ceremony!"
Rokuro continued to walk slowly, saying feebly,
"Oh my, I trained too hard yesterday. Now that I've suddenly relaxed, my whole body is soft. I simply don't have the strength to walk!"
Hanata rolled his eyes in anger.
Rokuro's stamina was a hundred times greater than Hanata's.
Yet he claimed he didn't have the strength to walk?
That was pure nonsense.
Just as the depressed Hanata was about to scold him, he suddenly saw a figure appear behind Rokuro. His expression immediately relaxed.
Lord Danzo had arrived.
He finally didn't have to be tortured by Kanda Rokuro anymore!
"Ahem! Ahem!"
Danzo coughed twice to make sure Rokuro heard him.
When Rokuro turned to look, Danzo said indifferently,
"Rokuro, what are you doing?"
Seeing Danzo, Rokuro smiled awkwardly.
"Well, about that... my legs hurt a little!"
Danzo glanced at Rokuro and said slowly,
"Legs hurt, do they? Hanata, carry Rokuro there. Don't waste any more time; you're going to be late!"
Hearing this, Hanata immediately walked up to Rokuro and hoisted him onto his back.
With Danzo present, Rokuro didn't dare resist.
Carrying Rokuro, Hanata hurriedly said to Danzo,
"My Lord, I'll be going first then!"
Danzo nodded.
"Go on. For the whole day today, you stay and study along with him!"
Hanata's face fell.
Originally, he was just dropping Rokuro off at school.
Now he had to stay with Rokuro and learn those lessons meant for little children? Just thinking about it made him depressed.
However!
Looking at Danzo, he dared not refuse.
He could only turn and leave in depression.
Danzo watched the two leave and shook his head.
He knew Rokuro would definitely try to pull some stunt today, so he came to check.
As expected, Rokuro really was causing trouble.
It was already 6:40. Even with Hanata's speed, it would be past 7:00 by the time they reached the Ninja Academy. And the Academy's opening time was exactly 7:00.
That brat!
Truly troublesome!
It seemed there would be plenty of headaches in the future.
However!
A genius!
A little headache was acceptable.
Others wouldn't even be qualified to give him a headache.
Danzo thought for a moment, then spoke to the empty space beside him.
"Do you want to go take a look?"
After Danzo spoke, Kuro appeared out of nowhere.
He looked in the direction Rokuro had gone and shook his head.
"Forget it. I don't see any issues with him. His cultivation actually relies on himself; I haven't helped much!"
Danzo glanced at Kuro and said calmly,
"In the future, I will reduce your mission workload. When you have nothing to do, stay home and accompany him more. We need to keep his heart here in Konoha, here in Root!"
Kuro was silent for a moment, then gave a bitter smile.
"I didn't expect my retirement life to arrive early because of him!"
Danzo didn't say anything else and turned to leave.
Kuro was a smart man; he should understand what he meant.
