Chapter 124: [BONUS CHAPTER] Standing Against the Hokage
After Ryosuke left the Hokage office, Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression darkened instantly.
"Sure enough! Ryosuke doesn't have the slightest reverence for me in his heart. He rejected the task that I arranged for him so directly. A person like this may not obey my other orders in the future."
Sarutobi Hiruzen had completely given up the idea of controlling Ryosuke at this moment.
Now, what he should consider is how to get rid of this serious trouble.
Otherwise, the existence of Ryosuke is very likely to have a serious impact on his ten year plan.
And the relationship between Ryosuke and Naruto is still very good.
Sarutobi Hiruzen was so happy before, because at that time he was still thinking about pulling Ryosuke into his camp.
Naturally he didn't mind that Ryosuke was around Naruto.
But now that it had been determined that Ryosuke was an uncontrollable factor, Sarutobi Hiruzen would prevent him from continuing to maintain the current relationship with Naruto.
Naruto is the village's ultimate weapon.
He Sarutobi Hiruzen will never allow a disobedient ninja like Ryosuke to be around Naruto.
And even gain Naruto's favor.
"But...how can I get rid of Ryosuke?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly regretted giving Ryosuke the Flying Thunder God Technique in the first place.
If he hadn't given him the Flying Thunder God Technique at the beginning, he wouldn't be so troubled now.
Exiting the Hokage building, Ryosuke was thinking about the arrangement of Sarutobi Hiruzen just now.
After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized that Sarutobi Hiruzen might not have wanted to suppress himself in the first place.
He might just be testing himself to see if he was obedient enough.
If Ryosuke had just accepted the nanny task arranged by Sarutobi Hiruzen, maybe he would be able to gain Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust again.
But Ryosuke didn't want to babysit a kid at all.
And he didn't need Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust either.
In another one or two months, it will be the day of the Chūnin exam.
By that time, Orochimaru's Konoha collapse plan will also start.
That is to say, Sarutobi Hiruzen doesn't have a long life.
What is the use of the trust of a dying person?
"But this time I rejected Sarutobi Hiruzen, which is equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the Hokage faction. I wonder how Sarutobi Hiruzen will deal with me next?"
Ryosuke had something in his mind that Sarutobi Hiruzen might do.
First, the aforementioned special Jōnin position is obviously a no-brainer.
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't mention this matter just now.
So, he knew that it was over.
Secondly, suppression is certain.
But the current strength shown by Ryosuke, as well as the Flying Thunder God Technique he has mastered, should also be accounted by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Even if he wants to suppress the Ryosuke, it is impossible for him to directly send someone to assassinate him like Danzo did.
Because Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that doing that was pointless for a ninja who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique.
Unless the assassin is a Kage-level powerhouse.
Then they might be able to kill Ryosuke before he escapes with Flying Thunder God.
But...
Where can Sarutobi Hiruzen find a Kage-level subordinate to send out?
The Kage-level powerhouses in Konoha have already been wiped out by the upper level of Konoha.
Looking at the huge Konoha Village now, besides Sarutobi Hiruzen himself, are there any kage-level ninjas?
"It seems that Sarutobi Hiruzen is a bit helpless!"
Ryosuke suddenly laughed.
He probably deserves it, right?
He obviously had a good hand of cards, but he played poorly, and even tore up the good cards himself.
Now that no one is available, who can be blamed?
"In the short term, Sarutobi Hiruzen shouldn't bother me."
"But that Danzo is not so good."
"Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped him before, and now Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely not stop him again, and he will even hope that Danzo can try a few more times."
"However, the trash under Danzo's command are nothing more than a gift for me."
"Yueyue, you're back!"
Seeing Ryosuke come back to the Anbu headquarters, Black Fang and the others ran over with a smile when they saw him coming back.
"Lord Hokage called you over, is he going to give you a promotion?" Black Fang instantly asked.
"Promotion? No, and we don't have job vacancies here in Anbu right now." Ryosuke shook his head.
Hearing that Ryosuke was not promoted, Black Fang and Shadow were a little surprised.
On the other hand, the eyes of Tengu on the side flickered, and he already knew the reason in his heart.
"But our seventh squad——"
Black Fang just wanted to say that the captain of their seventh squad was just the acting captain, and Ryosuke could completely replace her.
As a result, Shadow at the side secretly pulled him.
It turned out that Yugao had come over at this time.
Black Fang quickly laughed a few times, and after calling out to the captain, he was dragged away by Shadow and the others.
Shameful guy, don't you know the captain is still around?
Shadow looked at Black Fang speechlessly.
He usually looked very smart, why did he get muddled at a critical moment?
Yugai didn't care about Black Fang's petty thoughts.
She pulled Ryosuke aside and asked in a low voice, "Ryosuke, what's the matter?"
Ryosuke looked at her, and after thinking about it, he also told Yugao about Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement for him.
Hearing that Third Hokage actually asked Ryosuke to be a babysitter for a kid, Yugao also frowned, very dissatisfied with this arrangement.
"Ryosuke, you are right in refusing to accept this task. You are now at the stage where your strength is improving the fastest, you should spend your mind on training, not on other things.
Yugao was thinking about Ryosuke, and even bluntly expressed her dissatisfaction with the unreasonable arrangement of Third Hokage.
Before, Yugao respected the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen very much.
But it seemed after being in contact with Ryosuke for a long time, the respect she had for Sarutobi Hiruzen in her heart became less and less.
She even began to wonder if there were problems with some of the decisions made by Konoha's senior management?
