Chapter 62 Privilege; People Are All Double Standards
Chapter 62 Privilege; People Are All Double Standards
"Take this scroll to Orochimaru and the others, and then follow their instructions."
Hiruzen Sarutobi first took out a pre-prepared scroll and tossed it to Yoru Gojo. Then he took out another scroll and held it in his hand, saying solemnly, "Now I grant you a privilege: apart from the commander who possesses your Flying Thunder God Kunai, you have the right to refuse any missions given to you by other Jonin."
"In special circumstances, even if the commander assigns you a mission, you can choose to accept or refuse it according to your own will."
"If they want to blame or punish you, then give them this scroll."
"Remember, don't get obsessed with completing the task; your safety is the most important thing."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's last words were deeply moving.
But Gojo Yoru found it so ironic.
If Sakumo Hatake from the original manga heard these words, I wonder what he would think.
People are hypocritical; as long as you are valuable enough, you can enjoy special privileges.
In order to restore Wood Release, Hiruzen Sarutobi agreed to conduct Wood Release experiments, sacrificing the lives of volunteers.
Similarly, in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, the Flying Thunder God Technique was just as important as the Jinchūriki.
In Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes, Yoru Gojo is not yet capable of standing on his own.
Konoha had finally produced a super genius capable of learning the Flying Thunder God Technique, but he was also bound by the shackles that bound the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Hiruzen Sarutobi was determined not to allow any accidents to happen to him, and even less to allow him to die due to the foolish decision of his own people overstepping their authority.
As long as Gojo Yoru is safe and sound, even if it means abandoning the mission or sacrificing some people, it would be worth it in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
All of this is for Konoha!
This privilege is a good thing for Gojo Yoru.
He stepped forward and took the second scroll, saying respectfully, "I understand, Lord Hokage."
The second scroll with special privileges doesn't have the word "seal" on its seal. Instead, like the Hokage's hat, it has a red "fire" character on it, representing the Hokage's will.
Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a puff of smoke and laughed, "Go, do your best. Once the situation in the ninja world stabilizes, I will give you a special promotion."
"Yes, goodbye, Hokage-sama."
Gojo Yoru put away the two scrolls and then bowed slightly to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
The next second, his figure disappeared without warning.
After many years, seeing this familiar scene again, a trace of nostalgia flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Gojo Yoru arrived at the western border base of the Land of Fire from Konoha.
In the conference room, the three legendary Konoha ninja were still waiting for Hiruzen Sarutobi's reply.
Even without the Flying Thunder God Technique, the clan's summoning beast scrolls can quickly transmit information back to the village.
Within the support force, there is a group of members responsible for intelligence transmission. Every so often, they would summon a designated spirit beast to see if any encrypted intelligence had been transmitted back.
If it's urgent intelligence, it will be delivered even faster.
The information Orochimaru and his companions reported to Hiruzen Sarutobi was urgent.
From the moment they received intelligence about Iwagakure's surprise attack on Amegakure, to their decision to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi, and then to the conversation between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Gojo Yoru, only a little over an hour had passed.
As Gojo Yoru appeared unexpectedly beside Orochimaru following the markings of the Flying Thunder God Technique, all eyes immediately turned to him.
When Hatake Sakumo and Shimura Danzo first met Gojo Yoru, they carefully examined the user of the Flying Thunder God Technique.
"Orochimaru-sensei, it's been a long time."
Gojo Yoru smiled and raised his hand to greet Orochimaru, then nodded to Danzo Shimura and the others, introducing himself: "Lord Danzo, Lord Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya, Lord Sakumo, hello, I am Orochimaru's disciple, Gojo Yoru."
"Yoru, Sarutobi-sensei really did send you." Orochimaru smiled, seemingly unsurprised by Gojo Yoru's arrival.
"Although this is our first meeting, it's not the first time we've seen you before, and we've heard a lot about you." Jiraiya raised his hand to greet Gojo Yoru and smiled. "I'm your teacher's colleague and also Minato Namikaze's teacher. I often hear that kid talking about you and I'm looking forward to fighting you again."
"I know you too, you brat who's always been by Kushina's side," Tsunade said with a smile. "You're the one who agreed to let Kushina give the Rasengan to Nawaki, right? Thanks, my brother really likes that technique."
"It is my honor to be remembered by you two," Gojou Yoru replied politely. "The Rasengan training scroll was exchanged with me by Kushina using a sealing technique. She has the right to teach it to anyone. If Lady Tsunade wants to express her gratitude, then thank Kushina."
"You're quite the talker." Tsunade looked Gojo Yoru up and down again, clicking her tongue in amazement. "If I remember correctly, you're only eleven years old this year. Last year you looked the same height as me, but now you're a head taller than me. And your ninjutsu talent is so outstanding. Orochimaru really struck gold."
Gojo Yoru said solemnly, "No, being able to become Orochimaru's disciple is my greatest fortune."
"Alright, let's stop with the formalities."
Danzo Shimura suddenly interrupted, finding the scene extremely irritating and growing angrier the more he thought about it.
First, there was the Sarutobi team, whose three members were already capable of handling things on their own. Then there was Gojo Yoru, who had mastered the Flying Thunder God Technique, and there was also the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Sarutobi Hiruzen not only had many cards to use, but each one was an ace-level card.
Looking at myself, I don't even have a single trump card right now.
Furthermore, since he was around the same age as Hiruzen Sarutobi, he knew that by the time Hiruzen stepped down, he would have no hope of becoming Hokage.
Thinking about this, Danzo Shimura felt even worse.
Looking at Gojo Yoru, he asked, "Did Hiruzen ask you to bring anything?"
"Yes, the Hokage asked me to give this scroll to Orochimaru-sensei." Gojo Yoru nodded, took out the first scroll that Hiruzen Sarutobi had thrown to him, and handed it to Orochimaru next to him.
"Thank you for making the trip, Yoru." Orochimaru smiled as he took the scroll, used his unsealing technique to open it, quickly glanced at it, and then handed it to Shimura Danzo.
The latter took it, glanced at it only a few times, and then said to Tsunade in a deep voice, "Hiruzen has agreed to your decision. What are your thoughts?"
"I'm going to infiltrate Amegakure and see if Iwagakure has succeeded," Tsunade said in a similarly deep voice. "If Iwagakure's attack on Amegakure was truly for the antidote formula, their intentions will be exposed regardless of whether they obtained it or not."
"By the time Hanzo realizes what's happening, a situation like the one in Iwagakure will definitely not occur again. At the same time, to prevent another Sunagakure from happening, he will strictly control the quantity of antidote."
"What we need to do most right now is to obtain a sufficient amount of antidote before Hanzo takes action and quickly develop the formula for the antidote."
