章 15: Ch 15 : Hiruzen's concern
Later that night….
"Is that all?"
"Yes, Hokage-sama, We have reported from the beginning of the procedure till the end.
Though his skill looks a bit clumsy at some part, it couldn't be denied that what he brought us was kind of miracle."
The anbu reported what happened in the surgery room. Sarutobi's face was put into a deep, thinking state.
Tenma Shimura…
If he was a regular ninja, then Hiruzen would be happy that Konoha had received such a genius.
Not only was he strong, he also had a talent in the medical aspect that might not lose to Tsunade.
But…
Konoha's council gathered in the Hokage's office. The Hokage and his advisors all turned to Danzo Shimura.
"Danzo, what do you think about this?" The 3rd shifted the focus of the room to Danzo.
While he trusts that Danzo works for the good of the village, and while he gives him with his Root group a lot of independence, it does not mean that he didn't put any supervision over Danzo.
Until now, everything was going well because there was a balance between them.
But this Tenma Shimura. If he was to be left just like this, he might be the one that broke the established balance.
"Hiruzen, you're a bit too much! Shouldn't you be happy that Konoha has another Genius?"
"I don't think that Danzo did anything wrong. Furthermore, we can also vouch for Tenma's identity. If you find that he is a bit too good compared to his peers, wouldn't it just mean that he is a Genius?" The words of the other advisor, Homura Mitokado were in the other direction.
Though Hiruzen had not directly said the words, they knew what their old friend implied.
Tenma's appearance right now was way too dazzling. And even the plan of keeping Tenma in the hospital for a few years actually backfired at Hiruzen.
Suspicious my ass, they knew that Hiruzen only put Tenma at the hospital to keep Danzo in check, but now things had gotten like this, it was obvious that Hiruzen had a lot of headaches.
Furthermore, he couldn't read Danzo at all, and he didn't know what he was planning.
The 3rd was really pissed off by the trio's attitude. But he couldn't find anything wrong with this.
In the end, he could only swallow his words.
"You should not misunderstand me Hiruzen. We all think for the best of Konoha."
" *Sigh* Well, this is the end of the matter! I don't want to discuss this anymore."
"Okay, we are gone, Hiru."
The two advisors turned away and left side by side. Danzo also left with them, but not without giving a last look toward the Third Hokage.
With all of the events in the Hokage's office unknown to him, Tenma was still lying on his own bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.
This morning, he saved the life of the Daimyo's nephew.
Usually he would be happy about such an achievement. Yet for some reason, his hunch told him trouble would soon come and look for him.
It was already noon when Tenma woke up the following day.
After yesterday's incident, Tenma was given a one-day break, and in the afternoon, he would be scheduled to go and meet the Third Hokage.
He was going to get ready, and after he took a bath, he cooked his own food.
But just as he placed his food on the table, he found his food suddenly disappeared, and a chewing sound came from the side.
" Hmm… this sandwich is certainly not bad. Though I hate bread, the taste really reminded me of that yellow-haired guy from the straw hats."
"...."
Tenma didn't even need to look at the side to know who it was.
This voice and ability, it was definitely that guy. But the question was….
" Torao... why are you here?"
Shifting his gaze to the side, Tenma saw Law eating his cooking.
And seeing his face. Tenma could not help but frown.
Based on his experience with Sanji, the longest Sanji could stay in his world was for one hour. And he also needed Tenma's permission to come here. So how could Law be here?
But even after Law finished eating, Tenma couldn't think of an answer.
It was at this time when Tenma saw Law pointing at the clock:
" Kid, thanks for the food. By the way, shouldn't it be time when that Hokage thingy said he would be waiting for you?"
"...."
" Aahhh!!! You are right, damn it!"
At the end of the day, Tenma could only scrape the idea of making another lunch for himself and just scry for the Hokage's office.
One thing that he had learned from his past life is never to mess with an official, especially if you have no one to back you up.
When Tenma arrived at the Hokage's office, he had already past the supposed meeting time.
He greeted the ninja on guard duty downstairs and hurriedly climbed up.
