Chapter 215: Provocation
While Neji was crying, Zhang Miao had already arrived outside Hizashi's wall. Hearing the cries coming from inside, he closed his eyes again and shook his head. At the same time, he muttered to himself.
"It seems that I was too naive in the past. I also have a responsibility for causing such a result!"
At this point, Zhang Miao's eyes suddenly opened, revealing a determined look in his eyes.
"However, I will not let such a thing happen again in the future. Absolutely not!"
After making the decision, Zhang Miao used the Body Flicker jutsu to leave.
Just as he walked out of the Hyuga residence, Zhang Miao was stopped by two Root Anbu members wearing animal masks.
"Ryunosuke, Danzo-sama wants to see you!"
"Yeah, I understand!" Hearing the other party's words, Zhang Miao immediately nodded and answered, "Go back and tell him that I will be there soon!"
"Yes!"
As soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, the two Root Anbu members agreed and left, while Zhang Miao went to the Hokage's office.
At this time, Hiruzen was sitting in the office with a pipe in his mouth. When he saw Zhang Miao who pushed the door open, he immediately frowned.
"Ryunosuke, I remember that I should have told you last time. Before coming in, you should knock on the door first!"
"Really? Sorry, I forgot!"
Hearing Hiruzen's words, Zhang Miao immediately shrugged his shoulders. "I don't care about these details. I think you should have something more important to ask me, right?"
"Hmm.." Looking at Zhang Miao's indifferent face, Hiruzen picked up his pipe again and took a puff. Then he spat out a long string of smoke.
"Since you have fulfilled your promise to the child, can you return Hizashi's body now? If Konoha and Kumogakure fight, many people will die. I hope you can understand this!"
"Well, I will return his body to you!"
At this point, Zhang Miao suddenly grinned at Hiruzen, "Do you think I will say that? Hahahaha, naive!"
"Damn you..."
Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Hiruzen glared and was about to get angry, but before he could say anything, Zhang Miao waved at him.
"Don't be angry. Listen to me first. Since I did this, I will bear the responsibility. It has nothing to do with Konoha. Even if the people from Kumogakure returned, I would make them go back obediently. I can guarantee this. You can rest assured!"
At this point, Zhang Miao shrugged at Hiruzen again.
"If not, just give them my corpse. Compared to Hizashi, I think they will be more interested with someone with Wood Release Bloodline Limit like me, right? What do you think, Grandpa Third?"
"Cough..." Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Hiruzen choked in his throat.
Looking at the smiling Zhang Miao, he once again picked up his pipe and put it into his mouth to take a deep breath. Then he spat out a long string of smoke.
After a while, he opened his mouth with a helpless face.
"Ryunosuke, don't say such pitiful words. I am also very sad about Hizashi, but compared to him, you are more important because you are the future of Konoha!"
Hiruzen raised his head and looked at Zhang Miao, his eyes were bright and serious.
"As long as there are leaves flying, the fire will burn. The shadow of the fire will shine on the village, and new leaves will sprout!"
Hearing Hiruzen say this to him, Zhang Miao's face also changed. He was silent for a while and then nodded.
"Grandpa Third, I understand what you mean, but there is one thing that I think you are mistaken about. I am no longer the sprout that needs your protection. In short, I will deal with Kumogakure myself. You don't have to worry about it. Just relax!
After saying this,
Zhang Miao's figure disappeared. Seeing this scene, Hiruzen frowned.
"That brat, is he going to use the power behind him? Well... Kakashi once said that this kid is very powerful. If so, with Konoha's power, maybe he can fight against the Kumo!"
Thinking of this, Hiruzen's eyes suddenly became fierce. At this brief moment, he once again became the great ninja he was.
"For the future of Konoha!"
Zhang Miao did not know about Hiruzen's change. At this time, he had arrived at the Root's underground base and met Danzo.
This time, before Zhang Miao could open his mouth, Danzo spoke first.
"Ryunosuke, what you did this time is a bit too much. With Konoha's current strength, we can't fight against Kumogakure. Don't mess around. Quickly hand Hizashi's body to them!"
"Hehe..." Danzo's reaction was not beyond Zhang Miao's expectations, so he grinned, "Of course, I know about that."
"Since you already know why are you still doing this?" Upon hearing Zhang Miao's words, Danzo frowned.
"Your Wood Release is still far from perfect. It is impossible to fight against Kumogakure by yourself!"
"I know that too!"
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, Zhang Miao immediately nodded, but then he opened his hand to Danzo, "And when did I say that I was going to use Wood Release against them?"
"Then you still..."
"Stop!" Just as Danzo was about to say something, Zhang Miao raised his hand and interrupted him, then looked at him with a serious face.
"Master, I will have a way to deal with Kumogakure. Although it may cause some bad effects, you can take this opportunity to try to pull Hiruzen down from his position. Do you want to try it?"
"Huh?" For Danzo, the Hokage's position important than anything else, so when he heard Zhang Miao's words, he suddenly widened his eyes. "What are you going to do?"
"You don't have to worry about that!" At this point, Zhang Miao waved his hand at Danzo. "I am just doing what I should do. How about it? Are you interested?"
"That..."
Although he did not know Zhang Miao's specific plan, Danzo knew that Zhang Miao never did anything he was not confident about.
So after a moment of hesitation, he looked at Zhang Miao again.
"How confident are you?"
"Haha!"
Hearing Danzo's words, Zhang Miao immediately laughed, "If you are talking about repelling Kumo ninjas , then I can tell you that I am 100% confident!"
"100%?" Looking at Zhang Miao's confident look, Danzo was stunned at first, then nodded with a smile, "I understand. Okay, you can return!"
"Okay!"
Upon hearing Danzo's answer, Zhang Miao immediately agreed. When he turned around, the corners of his mouth immediately curled up.
"The Third Hokage is too weak. This time, I will add Danzo into the mix!"
