Chapter 23 The first step
The sky is bright and clear.
The hottest summer in Konoha comes quietly with the chirping of cicadas. At this time, the various ice products on the street are the most popular things.
A month has passed since the last mission ended. Amber left the orphanage with money at the request of Xiaotan and other children.
As he walked forward, pure white butterflies landed on his shoulders. Everyone who passed by, whether they were ordinary people or ninjas, turned a blind eye to him.
There is also invisibility among ninjutsu, but that kind of thing just deceives the eyes. As for Amber... Hehehe!
Continuously activating the Phantom Butterfly Technique consumes a lot of chakra. Fortunately, Amber has a strong foundation, so he can still accept this level. All the way from the orphanage to the streets in the center of Konoha, nothing unusual was found.
He didn't go shopping, but stopped in front of the Hokage Building. After stopping for a long time, he took the first step.
The chuunin on duty looked forward, stood straight, and scanned the passing crowd with sharp eyes, meticulously checking the tokens or documents of everyone entering and exiting.
It can be seen that this is a very responsible ninja.
Amber stopped in front of him, turned her head and looked for a long time, then changed direction and walked towards the building.
From beginning to end, the chuunin didn't notice anything wrong.
Entering the interior, the first floor is where various mission information and intelligence are processed. Most of them are female ninjas, similar to the clerks in the previous world.
There was nothing to see here. Amber just glanced around and prepared to go upstairs.
By a very coincidence, a one-eyed old man with bandages all over his body, surrounded by his men, came straight to the Hokage's office.
Amber followed them without leaving a trace with a slight smile.
As the wooden door was opened, the people who had been surrounding Danzo stopped, and he was the only one who entered.
Amber thought about a lot of things in these short seconds, but she still took this step without hesitation.
No matter what, some things cannot be avoided.
Fortunately, Sarutobi Hiruzen, currently the most powerful person in Konoha Village, found no abnormalities. As for the other person, Amber looked down on him and was immersed in conspiracy and power all day long. To say how strong he was, he was almost a joke.
boom!
Danzo closed the door and stopped in front of his desk.
"Hiruzen, there's something wrong with the orphanage! That genin named Amber must be hiding something."
His words made Amber on the side narrow her eyes slightly.
"Where's the evidence?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen did not have any thoughts because of Danzo's words, and even felt that the other party was making trouble unreasonably.
"I will find evidence. Something as dangerous as the Kyuubi should not be allowed to roam around. It is safest to leave it to me for safekeeping."
Danzo's words changed, and everyone in Kirigakure could hear his calculations, "If there is another Kyuubi Rebellion, all these years of training will be in vain."
"So, it's not the orphanage that has a problem, it's you who have thoughts about Naruto approaching that place, right?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen held his chin with his hands, sparks from the pipe flickering in his mouth, "Danzo, my old friend, don't let power blind you."
"I'm doing this for Konoha!!!"
Danzo almost broke through the defense, "It is safest to give the Kyuubi to Gen. Weapons should look like weapons!"
"Naruto is Minato's son."
Sarutobi Hiruzen blocked Danzo's follow-up with one sentence: "He has not become the son of a hero. This is the greatest tolerance I have for you. Roots are just roots. Do you understand?"
"You will regret this."
"I am the Hokage!"
"snort!"
Seeing that his goal was not achieved, Danzo turned around angrily, but suddenly stopped before going out, "I will prove it to you."
In the exposed single eye, the ruthless expression is clearly visible.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed and smoked silently.
Amber came here just to test the magic of the phantom butterfly, but she didn't expect to gain something unexpected.
It's a pity that Uchiha has been the top priority in the past two years. The old guy probably won't attack now, which is good, because he can prepare everything more calmly.
Following him out, he began to wander around the streets, and finally came to a mansion that was obviously different from other buildings.
The big fire character on the door plate and the leaf pattern representing Konoha all show how extraordinary this place is.
This is a place where only the Hokage can live, and it is also the main reason why Amber went to the Hokage building to test Sarutobi Hiruzen.
After all, only if he was sure he could influence the Third Hokage could he enter calmly.
As for why it took so much effort, that's because in addition to all kinds of top-secret information, there is also a sealed book that has sealed the forbidden techniques of previous Hokages.
Reincarnation of dirty earth, wood escape, second generation water escape, flying thunder god, multiple shadow clones...
"Why are you here?"
A familiar voice sounded from behind, and Amber's usual gentle smile reappeared on her face.
"It's Kakashi, what a coincidence."
After speaking, he patted the bulging wallet around his waist and said, "I'm tired of being pestered by those little guys. Come to the village and buy them some ice cream and popsicles."
"That's it."
Kakashi was dressed in regular clothes, "Today is a rare day off. Let me go shopping with you. Speaking of which, Naruto has been running to your place a lot lately."
For some reason, he could only protect the teacher's son secretly and could not give anything openly.
"Children love fun."
Amber said in a gentle tone: "Besides, they are the same kind to a certain extent."
Kakashi was silent for a moment when he heard this, and then he laughed dumbly.
"Let's go, I know there is a particularly delicious ice cream shop, but it's a bit expensive."
"That…"
Amber's face showed just the right amount of embarrassment, "I want to buy a lot because I'm afraid I don't have enough money."
"It doesn't matter, I can also fund some."
Kakashi had just come out of the previous haze at this time. The responsibility of being a ninja forced him to bear all this, but he yearned for the bright side in his heart and also longed to see beautiful things.
He didn't know about Noonoyu when he was in the orphanage before, but ever since he saw Amber getting along with those children, Kakashi felt that living in a place like this shouldn't be so difficult.
"Thank you so much."
Amber looked very happy, "How about this, let's go back together after buying some things, I'll introduce you to them, and let Naruto get to know you formally."
Perhaps because he felt that the heat was about the same, he paused and suddenly said: "Kakashi."
"Um?"
"Actually, I know that Naruto is not only a Jinchuuriki, but also the son of the Fourth Hokage, right?"
As soon as these words came out, Kakashi's gentle expression suddenly changed, and his eyes showed the sharpness that was once known as a genius ninja.
"Amber-Jun, you really surprised me!"
"Well, I just happened to know."
Today is the first step in every sense for Amber.
