Chapter 66 - Chapter 66: Sorry, I'm Going to Do as I Please

Ryun subconsciously wanted to provide guidance, but then he relaxed.

He was actually very curious about what Danzo was thinking right now, and how much he knew about his secrets.

So, it would be better to simply go meet Danzo. That way, he could find out what he was really thinking.

Anyway, it was a simulation. Even if it went badly, it didn't matter.

But the subsequent simulation content directly made Nojuro Ryun laugh in anger.

[Yamanaka Fuu led you towards a remote direction. You questioned that this was not the way to the Hokage's office, and Yamanaka Fuu told you that the Hokage-sama wanted you to see some things.]

Ryun had almost guessed what would happen next. He crossed his arms, planning to watch the show.

This time, without his guidance, he wouldn't be in a good mood.

[Yamanaka Fuu brought you to the area of the Uchiha clan. Shimura Taiji, along with Miyoshi Ikku who had just been released from the Konoha Military Police Force and his teammates, launched a retaliation against you.]

[You ruthlessly and severely injured them. Yamanaka Fuu, hidden in the shadows, used the Mind Body Switch Technique to ambush you. Your perception allowed you to detect his movements. You used your great speed to avoid it, and then you similarly severely injured Yamanaka Fuu.]

[During the fight, you used the Strength of a Hundred technique. The power even overturned several buildings. The loud sounds of the battle attracted the attention of many ninjas, and the situation instantly spiraled out of control.]

Ryun grinned. It was good to have increased strength.

Before, Ryun had needed to use strategy. Now, he just directly punched them in the face.

As for the aftermath... whatever.

This was also a good opportunity to see how the Hokage and Danzo would react now.

[Soon, ANBU ninjas arrived before you and detained you. You did not resist. Yamanaka Fuu and the others were sent to Konoha Hospital.]

[They did not die. For you, wanting to kill someone or wanting to spare someone's life were both easy things to do.]

[You were imprisoned in the Konoha Military Police Force headquarters, guarded jointly by Might Guy and Hatake Kakashi. Many people looked at you strangely, wondering where your strength came from.]

[You were imprisoned for a full three days, and finally got the chance to see the Hokage again. However, this time waiting for you was a joint interrogation by the Hokage, Danzo, Utatane Koharu, and Mitokado Homura. Clearly, they had not reached an agreement on your matter.]

Seeing this, you felt somewhat surprised.

They actually didn't directly send Yamanaka Inoichi to extract your memories. Could it be that they were shocked by Ryun's familiar ninjutsu and fighting style, and were afraid of offending the person who might be standing behind Nojuro Ryun?

Hmm... interesting.

[Danzo presided over this interrogation, asking which country's spy you were, where you had stolen the ninjutsu from, and what your goals were.]

Seeing this, Nojuro Ryun chose to provide guidance. The corner of his mouth even curled up in a mischievous smile.

Anyway, this simulation had reached this point. He might as well just charge ahead recklessly all the way.

[You claimed your ninjutsu was learned from a masked young woman. She thought highly of your talent and wanted to train you to become an excellent medical ninja to inherit her legacy.]

[Your words were naturally refuted by Danzo. No one would believe that Tsunade had secretly returned to Konoha just to teach another student.]

[But you presented evidence they could not refute. The curse marks of the Yin Seal Release spread across your entire body, making you the undisputed successor of Tsunade in the entire ninja world.]

[Danzo insisted that Yamanaka Inoichi interrogate you to obtain all the information. He did not believe your story.]

[Sarutobi Hiruzen refuted Danzo's demand, declaring that he was the Hokage. With the agreement of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, he chose to seal your chakra, confine you, and have you guarded by a Jonin.]

Seeing this, Ryun laughed out loud.

He could almost picture Sarutobi Hiruzen shouting at Danzo, "Danzo, I am the Hokage."

If this simulation succeeded, he definitely wanted to go see this famous scene.

As for how this simulation would develop next, Ryun himself didn't know.

Konoha would definitely send a letter to Tsunade. The two sides actually maintained contact, as Tsunade had only left the village to travel, not defected from Konoha.

But what would Tsunade's reaction be?

[Yuhi Kurenai accepted the task of guarding you. With your chakra sealed, you were no match for Yuhi Kurenai's genjutsu. However, you had no intention of resisting. Instead, you returned to your original lifestyle.]

[You wrote books, exercised, designed ninja tools. It was a pity no one could visit you. You could only chat with Yuhi Kurenai, and she did not really respond, just listened quietly.]

[Because you could focus your time, you produced books at a rapid pace of one per month. Yuhi Kurenai handed all your books to the Hokage. Although your books no longer had the chance to be published, the Hokage brought you more reference materials.]

Seeing this, Ryun was puzzled. Tsunade still didn't come back?

Then Ryun laughed even louder. Indeed, Tsunade still hadn't come back.

[Tsunade took Konoha's information as a clumsy trick to persuade her to return. Even after repeatedly receiving urgent letters from the Hokage, she directly chose to cut off contact with Konoha and disappeared.]

[You were confined for a full three months. Three months later, you saw the Hokage again, but this time he was alone.]

[The Hokage was repeatedly reading the biography of Senju Hashirama that you wrote. He welcomed your arrival, personally removed the seal on your chakra, and expressed hope to see your medical ninjutsu level.]

[You naturally did not refuse. In front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, you performed the Mystical Palm Technique, healing a Konoha nin. You completely solidified your identity as Tsunade's successor.]

Ryun clicked his tongue. Was he cleared just like that?

But considering the timeline, Konoha should have already begun preparing for the joint Chunin Exams with Sunagakure.

Could it be that Sarutobi Hiruzen had discovered that Sunagakure's recent movements were abnormal and now had to face Ryun's medical ninjutsu abilities squarely?

The subsequent simulation further confirmed this point.

[Sarutobi Hiruzen told you that your teacher was Tsunade, one of Konoha's Sannin. He asked if you had learned Tsunade's summoning technique.]

[And with your mischievousness, you replied that your teacher was originally going to teach you the summoning technique, but you were suddenly confined for three months, and you didn't know if you could contact your teacher again.]

Seeing this, Ryun pinched his own lips, afraid he would laugh too loudly.

If the simulation succeeded later, he definitely wanted to go see the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face at that moment.

He probably smiled on the surface, but in his heart, he had cursed Danzo to the depths, right?

Of course, Ryun was sure.

If there really was such a world line, Sarutobi Hiruzen would definitely have a cold war with Danzo for a few days afterward.

[Then Sarutobi Hiruzen said there was still a chance. He released you and directly gave you the Konoha Genin headband. As Tsunade's disciple, you had no way to refuse.]

Ryun's smile stopped abruptly. Sure enough, that old guy Sarutobi Hiruzen wouldn't let him off easily.

Ryun, who loved freedom by nature, now had to serve Konoha for life.
