Chapter 87 The Crutch: First of all...
"Danzo?"
Akali was somewhat dazed when she heard the name again.
The last time I saw Danzo seems like it was the last time.
But why did Danzo come looking for her?
Just let the pot king obediently send her money; surely he wouldn't actually dare to dream of turning the tables and becoming the master, would he?
"What's wrong?" Akali asked Sai.
"How could we, his subordinates, possibly fathom Lord Danzo's thoughts?" Sai bowed respectfully outside the door. "Miss Akali, you'll find out when you get there!"
"Tsk!" Akali clicked her tongue.
She didn't really want to go, but Danzo's money was still tempting, so she decided to go anyway.
Even if a goddess is stringing along a backup boyfriend, she still needs to give him some kind of response to keep him interested, right?
Wait, does that mean she's a scumbag?
Uh……
[Ding! Akali's emotional value +999!]
Akali suddenly fell silent.
Even after reaching the root of the problem, Akali still couldn't shake the feeling that she herself was the one who had been cheated on.
How could someone as cute and adorable as Akali be considered a "bad girl"? What attribute or skin of hers could possibly be associated with being a "bad girl"?
Wait, it seems there really is!
In the K/DA girl group, it seems like she's the one in charge of rapping!
So, she's still a rapper?
"..."
Fine, a rapper is fine, as long as he's not a cosplayer dressed as a Christmas reindeer.
Akali raised her head.
At this moment, Danzo, standing in the center of the root courtyard bridge, had been sizing up Akali for quite a while.
For ordinary people, this bottomless root courtyard is a place they would never want to come to in their lives, and even if they do come here occasionally, they do so with trepidation.
But Akali was not afraid at all, and she didn't even have the slightest curiosity about such a mysterious place as the Roots.
As Akali followed Sai, she remained absent-minded, her expression shifting between light and dark as if deep in thought, even now that they were right in front of him.
Now that Akali has finally snapped out of her daze, Danzo is also a little curious:
"Akali, what are you thinking? My enormous root isn't even worth a glance from you?"
Of course it's not worth it. It's a den of filth and grime; Akali wouldn't even be able to stand a glance at it.
So she simply retorted:
"I was thinking, with this root so cold and damp, isn't Lord Danzo, at his age, afraid of getting rheumatism?"
[Ding! Danzo's emotional value +999!]
Danzo: First of all, I haven't offended any of you.
Why is Akali so aggressive right from the start?!
Danzo was very unhappy.
But he took a deep breath and held back.
Because Akali is no longer the Akali she used to be.
She single-handedly cleared the Land of Snow dungeon, leaving Kurenai, a dignified Jonin, completely useless. After returning, she easily defeated Gaara, exposing his identity as a Jinchuriki.
The turmoil on the ninja clan side is kept strictly secret and has not yet been known to Danzo, but even so, Akali is already showing signs of becoming quite powerful.
Even Danzo didn't expect Akali to grow so fast; it's only been a little over a month.
Danzo then displayed the appearance of having a large belly:
"Hahaha, of course I'm not afraid! Although I'm already this old, my passion for Konoha has never cooled down, so I'm naturally not afraid of old age-related leg pain!"
"Is that so?"
Akali adopted a very innocent and naive expression:
"Lord Danzo, you should still be a little afraid. Being hot-blooded and warm-hearted doesn't warm your legs. You're already blind and missing an arm. What if your legs also have problems?"
"Crench!"
Danzo's cane made a sound as if it could not withstand the force.
My newly bought solid wood cane is about to crack again before it even has a patina!
Danzo's sinister single eye gleamed with a murderous light.
This matter can't be let go, can it?
Danzo could no longer conceal his anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Akali, is there something you're unhappy with about me?"
This time, Akali put on a smiling face: "No, no, how could I dare to be dissatisfied with Lord Danzo?"
"Lord Danzo is so powerful. He sent someone to summon me late at night, without caring at all that sleep deprivation is a woman's worst enemy."
"I only pity myself. What if I grow to be as disabled as Lord Danzo in the future?" Akali continued sarcastically.
[Ding! Danzo's emotional value +999!]
Looking at Akali, Danzo stared wide-eyed in bewilderment.
Just because of this? Just because he was woken up during his bedtime, he got so angry?
Danzo didn't understand. In the past, which of those female ninjas didn't just leave when a mission came? They would use any means necessary to complete the mission at a moment's notice.
Why is Akali so delicate?
"You..." Danzo wanted to yell at him.
But it's still a pity, you can't criticize it.
Akali is currently in a seller's market, and there's something I have to do with her; I have to coax her.
"Alright, my mistake!" Danzo admitted his error with a dark face: "Next time I need to talk to you, I'll try to do it during the day."
"However, this matter is indeed very urgent, so I need to inform you immediately!"
Danzo didn't want to argue with Akali anymore.
"Oh, what is it?" Akali asked curiously, hearing Danzo's question.
"The Sand Ninja you fought today has been confirmed by the village to be the Jinchuriki of this generation of Sand Ninja."
Danzo said, "For a mere Chunin Exam, the Sand Village has sent a Jinchuriki. This is a dangerous sign!"
"So, the village has a task for you!"
Akali tilted her head: "What mission?"
"Keep an eye on Gaara during the Chunin Exams!"
"Just surveillance?"
"Surveillance is enough!"
Danzo emphasized, "Remember, absolutely, absolutely do not act on your own. Jinchuriki are too sensitive to both us and the Sand Village!"
"Do you understand?"
This is why Danzo quickly summoned Akali!
Just kidding, you almost knocked Gaara into his Shukaku form today. If you hit him too hard in the second round of the Chunin Exams, how will the Konoha Crush plan proceed?
He simply told Akali, "Grandma, don't mess with that Calabash Brother, it's a bit too strange."
However, if the village is the main focus and Akali is given a surveillance mission, then there will be no problem.
Danzo's intentions were so obvious that Akali guessed what he meant.
Akali gave a sly, fox-like smile: "What if he attacks me first?"
Danzo didn't react immediately: "He won't lay a hand on you."
"But what if he insists?"
"If you insist, then run!"
What if I can't outrun it?
"You..." Danzo frowned as he looked at Akali, wondering why so many things were going on.
However, after carefully observing Akali's expression, Danzo understood.
Akali is just trying to get something in return!
So, does this woman have absolutely no intention of protecting Konoha?
[Ding! Danzo's emotional value +999!]
"Crack!"
Under the weight of accumulating emotions, Danzo's newly purchased cane could no longer support him and shattered!
