Naruto: Releasing Chakra Limits at the Start

Chapter 113 Danzo noticed Yoru.

Konoha, the headquarters of Root.

Danzo listened to his subordinates' report while leaning on his cane.

After listening, Danzo frowned. "What on earth is Hiruzen doing? Why would he suddenly promote a kid? There's nothing special about this kid."

"Lord Danzo, what I find strange is that Kakashi took that child with him when he went out of the village to carry out this mission."

Upon hearing this, Danzo immediately realized something.

"Is Hiruzen trying to train a fourth Hokage?"

Danzo was very dissatisfied with Hiruzen Sarutobi passing the Hokage position to Minato Namikaze.

In Danzo's view, no one in Konoha besides himself was qualified to become Hokage.

Danzo became wary at the thought of the Fourth Hokage.

"What is the background of that child? According to the information, there is nothing special about him."

"But why would he let Kakashi take that child with him on a mission?"

"Hiruzen must know that child is extraordinary, right?"

Danzo speculated.

The Third Hokage's actions are very similar to the methods used to train the Fourth Hokage.

Yoru's mentor, Jonin, was Kimoto Ichido, but he went on a mission with Kakashi and was immediately promoted to Chunin upon returning from the mission.

They didn't even explain it to the higher-ups.

Although he does have that authority, given Hiruzen Sarutobi's personality, he would definitely need to explain it.

After all, Yoru's workload was far from enough to qualify him as a Chunin.

But to this day, Hiruzen Sarutobi hasn't even greeted them.

If Yoru's workload wasn't met, then it must mean that Yoru's strength was exceptional, even exceeding that of a Chunin. Only then would the Third Hokage have made such a decisive decision to make him a Chunin.

Only if he has sufficient strength can the third generation have the confidence to face any doubts.

However, Yoru's grades at the Ninja Academy were only average.

It's at an extremely average level.

Connecting these doubts, Danzo suddenly realized a terrifying possibility.

That was because the Third Hokage deliberately prevented Yoru from revealing his true strength during his time at the Ninja Academy.

In reality, Yoru's strength is extremely high, and his current strength may even be far beyond that of a Chunin.

No matter how you look at it, Yoru's workload is not enough to qualify him for promotion to Chunin.

Simply reaching the level of Chunin is definitely not enough, so there is only one possibility: Yoru's strength may have already reached the level of Jonin.

Don't be fooled by the fact that even Jonin couldn't intervene in the battle against Madara Uchiha during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

But in reality, even in the five great ninja villages, the number of Jonin is extremely small.

It can be said that Jonin are among the top combat forces in the five great ninja villages.

Ye Yu is only twelve years old, yet he already possesses the strength of a Jonin at such a young age. Moreover, he has a clean background and no powerful family backing him.

This kind of person reminded Danzo of Minato Namikaze.

He didn't believe that the Third Hokage would promote Yoru to Chunin for no reason, and that he would act so arbitrarily.

Moreover, the Third Generation's actions have shown that he is conveying to the outside world that Yoru is on his side.

What does Ye Yu have that makes him worth trying to win over?

Only Ye Yu's immense strength could have driven him to do something completely out of character.

Thinking of this, Danzo's eyes revealed a dangerous glint.

Gripping his cane, he said coldly, "Hiruzen, I'll let the Fourth Hokage go, but I will never let you raise another Minato Namikaze."

"Mountain Wind, go and bring that kid here. I want to see what he's really capable of."

Yamanaka Fu was one of Danzo's two great protectors.

The members of the Yamanaka clan are Jonin in strength.

Without the slightest hesitation, Shan Zhongfeng nodded and disappeared into the roots.

Meanwhile, among the mountain tribe...

Yamanaka Inoichi, also known as the head of the Yamanaka clan, is Ino's father.

He stood in his room, with Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza sitting behind him.

These three are the older generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

The three gathered here because of the actions of the third generation.

Yoru didn't take being promoted to Chunin seriously.

But he had no idea what kind of upheaval his becoming a Chunin would cause among the various clans of Konoha.

It is peacetime now, and Yoru is still a commoner ninja with no background, and his workload is far from enough to be promoted to Chunin.

In this situation, the actions of the third generation are quite intriguing.

The strangest thing is that the third generation didn't explain it to them.

The Ino-Shika-Cho trio are from the third generation of this lineage, and they noticed Yoru's special nature.

Especially after looking at Ye Yu's information, it all seemed very strange.

"What exactly is the purpose of the Third Generation's actions? Does he really want to groom that kid?"

Yamanaka Inoichi turned around and looked at Nara Shikaku and Akimichi Choza.

Nara Shikaku said seriously, "Shikamaru and I asked about that kid today, and I have to say, it's not surprising that the Third Hokage wants to train that child."

Yamanaka Inoichi paused for a moment, then looked at Nara Shikaku. "Oh? What did Shikamaru say?"

Nara Shikaku recounted everything Shikamaru had told him that day.

Basically, it's about Shikamaru's impression of Yoru during his six years at the Ninja Academy, and Yoru's performance in the graduation exam. Yoru had eaten with them before, and Yamada Kiki and Hon-Yatako had revealed some information about Yoru.

Although incomplete, Nara Shikaku was able to sense Yoru's extraordinary nature.

After hearing this, Akimichi Choza and Yamanaka Inoichi found it hard to believe: "Kimoto Ichido's disciple was actually able to withstand that guy's killing intent suppression?"

"It seems that kid does have some ability. He didn't show it at the ninja academy. His mentality is a bit scary."

Yamanaka Inoichi couldn't believe that Yoru's cunning was so deep.

In his opinion, Yoru must have deliberately hidden his strength during his years at the Ninja Academy.

He was deeply impressed by the fact that someone so young could refrain from showing off.

What he didn't know was that it was actually because Yoru's strength was only average during his six years at the Ninja Academy. Apart from having an excellent grasp of theoretical knowledge, he only achieved an average level in other assessments despite his best efforts.

Choza Akimichi frowned, a rare occurrence for him, and said, "It seems that the child is more powerful than we knew, otherwise the Third Hokage would never have done that."

"The strength of a Chunin alone could not possibly have made the Third Hokage make that decision."

"I dare say that the child's strength has at least reached the level of a Jonin."

"Moreover, his real teacher should be Kakashi, not Kimoto Ichido."

"Kakashi's willingness to take him on shows that Kakashi also thinks highly of him."

"This kind of person reminds me of the fourth generation."

Choza Akimichi had previously worked on many missions with Minato Namikaze.

He knows the fourth generation very well.

Yoru's background and experiences are too similar to those of the fourth generation.

The Third Generation's attitude also shows that he wanted to train Yoru in the same way he trained Minato Namikaze.

The first step is to promote Yoru to Chunin and involve him in Konoha's affairs.

Because it is peacetime now, there are not many opportunities to make military achievements.

The Third Hokage could only elevate Yoru to the position of Hokage by considering both his strength and the mission.

To carry out challenging missions, the first step is to upgrade the ninja's level.
