Chapter 28: Danzo this child should be given to Hiruzen

The gates to the Forest of Death slowly opened. A group of Genin swiftly rushed in from their respective entrances.

The competition in this exam was fierce. Entering early meant gaining an advantage, whether it was to familiarize oneself with the environment or to set traps within the forest.

Even Uchiha Itachi was no exception.

Only Akihara Kagura walked leisurely into the exam area, weighing the Earth scroll in his hand and calmly observing the depths of the dark Forest of Death.

"Hey, kid!"

A female ninja responsible for opening the exam gates seemed impatient with Akihara Kagura's slow pace and scolded, "Hurry up and go in! If you're any slower, you might get killed tonight!"

"..."

Akihara Kagura turned back to look at her.

The female ninja was wearing a khaki trench coat, with a mesh shirt underneath, and mesh stockings on her legs that were visible. Her light purple hair was messily tied into a bun, making her appear not too old.

"Hurry up!"

The female ninja's expression showed impatience. Watching Akihara Kagura just stepping into the exam area, she forcefully closed the gate and patted her hands.

"Big sister, what's your name?"

Akihara Kagura stood inside, smiling amiably at the female ninja.

"Huh?"

The female ninja was surprised by the kid's boldness, then her face broke into a playful smile: "Kid, taking part in such a dangerous exam and still so bold... My name is Mitarashi Anko, if you make it out alive, treat me to dumplings!"

"I'll remember you."

Akihara Kagura didn't mention anything about treating her to a meal.

He hadn't mistaken her identity; this female ninja was Mitarashi Anko, once a disciple of Orochimaru, and she carried a trace of Orochimaru's chakra.

In a way, this Mitarashi Anko, once a colleague, was still a current colleague. He thought of introducing her to the old superior when there was a chance.

"He's quite a spirited kid..."

Mitarashi Anko tilted her head, squinting her eyes with a smile: "Then do your best and try not to die too early in the Forest of Death!"

"Yeah, I'll remember you."

Akihara Kagura nodded and repeated his words.

Just when Mitarashi Anko was about to say something, he saw Akihara Kagura suddenly raise his finger and form the sign of the serpent!

"Wood Release: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"

Shimura Danzo remained silent for a while before answering, "This is a kid from the Konoha Orphanage. Years ago, he survived Orochimaru's illegal Wood Release human experimentation. Seeing the kid's strong vitality, I brought him to the Root organization, and it was not until recently that he suddenly awakened Wood Release"

"Is that so?"

Mitokado Homura's forehead wrinkled with age lines as he sighed, "It seems like a very accidental event"

Utatane Koharu's tone was no longer as excited, "I thought we could let the village have the First Hokage's Wood Release Kekkei Genkai again, but those human experiments, after all, are too dangerous for those involved."

"It's just an exception."

Shimura Danzo also nodded slowly.

"..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen finished his thoughts, picked up his pipe again, and slowly exhaled his first sentence, "It seems that this kid's Wood Release is very powerful, almost completely replicating the First Hokage's Wood Release Ninjutsu. One day, he might become the next First Hokage!"

"Oh?"

The two advisors of the Hokage immediately became curious.

Mitokado Homura had never paid attention to the Wood Release jutsu recorded in the Scroll of Seals, after all, Konoha had never been able to replicate the First Hokage's Wood Release. He instinctively asked,

"Can this kid become as powerful a ninja as the First Hokage?"

"Hm?"

Shimura Danzo almost immediately understood the meaning of Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and hurriedly said: "This kid's Wood Release jutsu cannot be compared with the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama's Advent of a World of Flowering Trees..."

"Danzo, you're being too narrow-minded."

Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Shimura Danzo, and seemed to seriously explain: "The technique of Advent of a World of Flowering Trees is not yet perfect... but the Wood Dragon Technique is different!"

"If the effect of his Wood Dragon Technique is the same as recorded in the Scroll of Seals, or even capable of suppressing the Tailed Beasts, then this kid's talent for Wood Release is much stronger than you think. It's a waste to have him do those dark deeds in the Root..."

"Wait..."

Shimura Danzo's eyes involuntarily widened.

"That's right, Danzo!"

Koharu Utatane, frowning, suggested: "Danzo, it's a waste to keep this kid in Root. He should be entrusted to Hiruzen..."

"..."

Danzo gripped his cane tightly.

Why does this sound so familiar? The words he always used to say to Sarutobi Hiruzen, why is it his turn to hear them /Bleam
