Chapter 153: Chapter 153: A Paper Tiger Trying to Bite? Dream On!



(,,><,,) Oops, you didn't see anything (O OXXX)

Takuya shrugged, "It's a jutsu I developed recently, and I used it for the first time in Amegakure. It's strong, no doubt about that, but the downside is the massive chakra drain. If you don't have a large enough chakra pool, there's no point in even trying to learn it."

Was Danzo really thinking he could get his hands on Thunderburst? Heh, good luck with that. With his chakra reserves, he'd be more likely to blow himself up than pull it off.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Danzo's face remained emotionless, his tone flat and cold. "Write down the principles behind this technique. Such a dangerous jutsu should be handed over to the village and sealed in the Scroll of Seals."

I nearly laughed out loud. Oh, right. He wants me to hand over Thunderburst so the village can "seal" it, huh? Yeah, sure, Danzo. As if the village would ever see it. He just wants it for himself.

"Sorry, I refuse. There's no rule in the village that says I have to turn over any jutsu I create."

Danzo, ugly as sin and greedy on top of that. Did he really think I'd just roll over and give him what he wanted? Not a chance.

"You dare defy me?" Danzo's calm facade cracked, his voice tinged with anger. His one visible eye gleamed with menace, and I noticed the Root operatives lurking in the shadows starting to shift, preparing to surround me.

I smirked, not even slightly intimidated. "Refusal isn't the same as defiance, Danzo-sama. Besides, I'm working under Tsunade-sama's command right now. You don't have the authority to order me around."

I leaned in slightly, dropping my voice to a more dangerous tone. "So, instead of barking up the wrong tree, why don't you focus on getting better? Because if you end up bedridden for life, that'd be a real shame for the village."

"Watch your mouth!" Danzo's voice shot up, trembling with rage. He looked like he was about to leap out of bed and strangle me right there.

"Later, old man." I turned and walked out of the room, unbothered by the seething anger radiating from Danzo. The Root operatives still hovered, unsure whether to act.

A few months ago, they might have had a shot. Now? I'd send them all to the afterlife if they even thought about trying.

"Yagami Takuya!" Danzo shouted after me, his voice almost breaking in fury.

Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen read over the latest intelligence reports. The news of Amegakure's surrender brought him some much-needed relief. With that war over, Konoha could now focus its forces on dealing with Sunagakure.

The Kazekage had launched several attacks across the Fire Country, and Sarutobi's frustration grew with each new report. These guerrilla tactics were wearing down the village's defenses. He shook his head, turning back to the reports. One scroll, in particular, caught his eye.

"An S-rank lightning jutsu capable of countering Hanzo's attacks?"

Sarutobi frowned, setting the scroll aside.

"Takuya Yagami... this child has grown even stronger than I anticipated."

If it hadn't been for Tsunade's insistence, Sarutobi might never have allowed Takuya to even take the Jonin exams. But now it was clear that Takuya's power far exceeded that of a typical

Jonin.

Every time it seemed like they had a grasp on his abilities, he revealed another card up his sleeve. His strength had become a factor that Sarutobi could no longer ignore-especially considering his close ties with both Tsunade and Kushina. If not handled properly, it could become a significant issue for the village.

At least he didn't seem to be aligning himself with the Uchiha clan. That would have made things much more complicated.

Sarutobi sighed and gave his next order. "Announce the peace treaty with Amegakure tomorrow. It'll ease the villagers' concerns."

The war had dragged on, and the people of Konoha were growing weary. Announcing peace would give them something positive to focus on.

I have a lot of chapters my Patreon because of that I'm willing to release up to 50 chapters this week on this platform. However, there's a challenge! For every 500 power stones, I will drop between 3 to 10 chapters. The faster you reach that goal, the more chapters you get-if you manage to hit it within an hour, I'll release the full 10 chapters right away. Good luck, and let's

see how quickly we can reach those goals!
