Naruto: All I want to do after transforming into Akali is be happy!

Chapter 57 Invitation

Some things are better left unthought.

Humans are like that; they may be considered intelligent, but often they don't have much of a brain.

I wouldn't say I'm smart, but after calming down, I seem to be able to understand many things.

Just like now, Akali is reviewing her class assignment results, wondering why she was assigned to Kurenai Yuhi.

Akali actually knew the answer.

It's very simple: Asuma likes Kurenai and is pursuing her, while Kurenai is also somewhat willing, so there's a high probability that the two will get together.

During this period, the Third Hokage actually wanted to arrange for Asuma to succeed as Hokage. Even if Asuma couldn't succeed as Hokage, he still needed to leave him enough support.

This is why Kurenai Yuhi was able to become the teacher of Hinata, Shino, and Kiba Inuzuka!

Don't mention Kurenai Yuhi. Back then, Kurenai Yuhi stopped the village's young ninjas on the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, preventing them from dying in the battle.

The ninjas of Kurenai's generation, and even those from Yamashiro Aoba's generation, owe a debt of gratitude to Kurenai Yuhi, and indeed to Kurenai herself.

However, these have nothing to do with the upper levels of Konoha.

Even if Kurenai Yuhi was indeed in a high position and held great power back then, he had been dead for twelve years. When he died, Kurenai Yuhi was just a Chunin!

So, was she also left as a resource for Asuma by the Third Hokage?

Akali suddenly realized.

If, if she didn't have the system, and was truly a commoner genius, then what would the normal development be?

The normal course of events is that Kurenai can indeed teach some things, but not more. However, out of a teacher's duty, she has to arrange for Akali to learn as well.

So she had no choice but to ask for help.

So who should I ask for help? Isn't this a coincidence? My boyfriend, Sarutobi Asuma, whom I've been dating recently, comes from a family with a strong academic background, is very knowledgeable, and is skilled in ninjutsu and taijutsu combat.

Moreover, even if Asuma couldn't teach him, wasn't there someone above him who was known as the strongest Hokage and the professor of ninjutsu?

Naturally, Akali came into contact with the third generation.

"hiss……"

After figuring out all the intricacies involved, Akali took a long breath, feeling as if her mind had cleared up completely.

Akali was very curious about how this person could be so cunning and calculating.

This is like an old sow wearing bras, one after another!

Outrageous!

As expected of the 'strongest' Hokage!

Akali was deeply moved.

In the end, where was the coincidence? It was all a scheme! Only schemes win people's hearts!

Of course, compared to the Third Hokage who orchestrated this scheme, Danzo is no less capable.

From Danzo's perspective, he knew Akali wouldn't be overlooked, but Akali didn't know that.

So he also took advantage of the information gap and sold Akali anxiety, making Akali feel pressured. And pressure leads to problems and insufficient thinking!

For example, accepting Danzo's invitation to join the Root Clan, seeking better cultivation methods or something...

Akali now fully understood Danzo's thoughts!

Joining the root is of course impossible; she could never join the root in her lifetime.

Akali only has the courage to add to the roots.

Akali not only has the audacity to try and profit by joining the Roots, but she also has a great deal of it!

Akali was also a little curious about what Danzo would say.

Akali then looked at Danzo with a hesitant expression, as if she had thought of something: "Why was I assigned to the Jonin Kurenai Yuhi?"

"Hehe!" Danzo gave a gentle, fake smile, seemingly very pleased that Akali could ask such a question.

The next second, his fake smile vanished instantly, replaced by a sigh and worry, as if there were things he shouldn't say but was forced to say due to his conscience.

Danzo sighed, "Because some people are old, too old!"

"But humans, as a species, have their limits!"

"Even the most brilliant and capable person in their youth will become senile in their old age due to changes in their body, and thus do things completely different from when they were young."

"Akali, you know what? Sometimes old people are afraid of young people!"

"In their view, the growth of a young person means that he is being replaced step by step, and he is walking towards death step by step! So he fears you, fears a young person like you with outstanding talent!"

Danzo played the role of a riddle-maker quite well.

Akali knew what he meant, but she pretended to understand: "Who is he?"

"He..." Danzo shook his head, seemingly unwilling to talk about it.

But in the end, he still spoke up: "Whoever can arrange the class assignments for the graduates, that's who! And who else has that power besides our Third Hokage?"

"Akali, you should know that if you grow up normally with your talent, you might become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha! The Third Hokage was afraid of that very thing!"

"This... Lord Three Generations, no, impossible!"

Upon hearing Danzo's words, Akali feigned a shock in her pupils and a collapse of her Dao heart.

After all, as the principal of the Ninja Academy, the Third Hokage had an excellent reputation among the students.

"What's impossible?" Danzo sighed, tapping his cane. "Otherwise, think carefully, what other explanation could there be?"

Akali secretly pursed her lips.

Ordinary people have been brainwashed by your logic here. If we follow your logic, what other explanation is there?

However, Akali maintained a facade of shock: "Even so, I still can't believe it,"

Then, Akali looked at Danzo as if she had finally come to her senses: "Who are you, and why are you telling me all this?"

"Me?" Danzo shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "I'm nobody. I'm just a busybody who couldn't bear to see the village's tender shoots go unwatered because of some people's selfishness!"

Akali stepped forward at the opportune moment: "I don't believe it. Nobody can explain these things to me!"

"Alright!" Danzo sighed, "Since you've asked so sincerely..."

"I didn't ask!" Akali thought to herself.

"Then I'll tell you. I'm the head of Konoha's Root! Of course, you might not know about Root, and most Konoha ninjas probably don't either, because Root is an underground ANBU training department that silently protects Konoha!"

"The Dark Side!" Akali exclaimed again.

Because in most people's minds, the Dark Side is a handsome, mysterious and powerful organization.

Seeing Akali's perfect comedic timing, Danzo felt a long-lost sense of joy.

"That's right, it's the Anbu!"

Danzo pressed his advantage: "Since we've come this far, I'll be frank. I simply can't bear to see such a gem like you go to waste."

"Akali, would you be willing to join Root and become an Anbu member who silently protects Konoha from the shadows?"
