The Strongest Uchiha - Volume 1 Chapter 12 Old Man

After Itsu had enough fun listening to the two young girls biker about which of them is more liked by him he walked up to the two girls pretending to have just arrived. “Hello you two, I’m sorry I’m a bit late I hope you didn’t have to wait too long?” Itsu smiled at both of them causing both of them to slightly blush, surprisingly the first one to talk was Hinata. “No we didn’t have to wait long” Ino nodded agreeing with Hinata, “Yeah me and Hinata were just talking about some academy stuff” Ino said while getting closer to Itsu and wrapping her arms around his right arm.

Itsu didn’t respond to Ino being so close to him as he was used to her taking every opportunity she had to stay close to him. Itsu could see the visible annoyance on Hinata’s face as she looked at how close Ino was to Itsu, “You shouldn’t do that it’s probably making Itsu uncomfortable” Hinata said quickly trying to make Ino let go of him. “Oh I’m sure he’s not uncomfortable or he would have said something, right Itsu?” Ino wrapped her arm around his even tighter making it even harder for him to get free.

Itsu didn’t even get a chance to speak before Hinata ran to Itsu and grabbed his left arm and wrapped her arms around it, “I-if you get to do it t-then so do I” even if Hinata got more confident over the years she would still be get heavily fl.u.s.tered when she was very close to Itsu. “Okay both of you don’t need to fight” Itsu slipped out of their grasps earning visible annoyance and dissatisfaction from both of them, “That’s not fair, I wanted to hold you more” Ino said while puffing our her cheeks to show her displeasure. Itsu chuckled slightly seeing Ino act like that “That’s not funny hmph”

Ino stated while crossing her arms and looking away, “I didn’t mean to make fun of you, I just think you’re cute when you act like that” Ino turned back and beamed at his compliment, Itsu looked at Hinata and saw that she was also expecting a compliment from him, “Don’t worry Hinata you’re also very cute” Itsu told Hinata. Both females became giddy and happy after being complimented, never in his life would Itsu think it would be so easy to make a girl happy.

( 3 hours later )

After spending the afternoon together it was starting to get dark and Itsu decided to escort the two girls home, he first dropped Ino off and got a long hug from her and a kiss on the cheek which caused her to run into her home while blushing, he then dropped Hinata off and got a slightly longer hug and a kiss on the cheek from her too.

Itsu was happy, he was on his way home too when he felt multiple chakra signatures surround him, he stopped walking, “I know you’re there just come out already” the people following Itsu immediately showed them selves once they realised they had been caught, Itsu was surrounded and he saw that all of them were root shinobi, Danzo’s loyal slaves. Itsu saw the shinobi make way for a grumpy looking old man with a white cloth covering his right eye and his right arm in a cast.

It was Danzo, “I wish to speak briefly so I will drop the formalities, if you come work under me I can help you unlock the power within your sharingan and make you an extremely powerful shinobi all you have to do is serve me” Itsu listened to Danzo and he knew he was full of bulls**t, the old man just wanted to add another slave to his collection. “Sorry old man, my mom always told me to stay away from weird old men who offer treats” Itsu said while looking straight at Danzo, Itsu knew the only reason he was here was because Danzo couldn’t just kidnap him because Itsu was too well protected by the third and his clan head.

So if he just magically disappeared then it would cause a large commotion since Itsu was pretty well known in the village so the only way for him to get to Itsu was for him to ‘willingly’ join his organisation. “Are you mocking me child?” Danzo said while narrowing his gaze at Itsu, but Itsu wasn’t feeling very threatened “Either your getting senile to the point where you can’t even tell when a child insults you or you’re just stupid, in my opinion it’s probably both” Itsu just said back without any hesitation, Danzo couldn’t touch him no matter how much he wanted to so any threat he made would just be a bluff.

“I’m offering you power, more power than any child your age could want and you’re turning down this opportunity, think wisely about this” Itsu was getting slightly annoyed now with the fact that he Danzo kept bluffing in order to try and get Itsu to comply with him. “Listen old man I have don’t time for your mind games, I don’t want to join your little organisation and be used as a puppet so you can try and feel important just cause no one deemed you worthy of becoming hokage”

Itsu could tell he hit a sore spot as Danzo’s face showed visible anger for a fraction of a second before he tried to cover it up, but that was enough time to see that Itsu’s insults were very effective, “I know you must be sad that the position of hokage was given to someone else even though you think you’re the most worthy for it and I know you probably cry yourself to sleep every night because of it but I really don’t care so leave me alone, oh and also say hello to Orochimaru for me” as soon as he said that Itsu left and didn’t look back.

Danzo was left dumbfounded, he couldn’t process what just happened, he was insulted, he was belittled and his dealings with Orichimaru where discovered by a child and he couldn’t do anything about it, it was checkmate, he couldn’t move against the child in fear of his dealings in the dark being discovered and him being branded a traitor and hunted by his own village, this was the worst possible outcome to this situation.

Danzo was left feeling anger and fear while Itsu left feeling happy, he was very happy with the way things turned out but he wasn’t done yet, he would ruin Danzo, he will tear down everything he worked to achieve and then when he has nothing left Itsu will kill him, but not quickly it will be a slow very painful demise, it may be extremely cruel but that was what Danzo deserved at the very least.

Itsu shortly arrived at his home and made shadow clones to train more ninjitsu in the forest while Itsu did physical training in his room, he had managed to get his hands on some weights and he used those on a daily basis to train his body to peek condition. Itsu was about to go to bed when an Anbu black ops operative arrived in his room, “The hokage would like to meet you first thing in the morning” Itsu nodded and the shinobi dismissed himself and left as quickly as he had arrived. Itsu was tired and he could worry about what the hokage wanted to talk to him about tomorrow, he later down and went to sleep waiting for the day he could finally kill Danzo.
