Chapter 628 - When a Pawn tries to be the King!
Root Base
In the dimly lit room of the Root Base, Shimura Danzo wearing the Hokage hat and Hokage robe sat on the main seat of the round table with a smug smile plastered on his face. From the expression on his face, it can be seen that Danzo seems to have developed a superiority complex these days.
On the other side of the round table sat Orochimaru–with a laid-back expression and lastly Uchiha Tsukihi wearing her Homusubi disguise of the Amatsukami Organization–and an unidentifiable expression on her face that was covered by her Homusubi mask.
This is the first official meeting held by the three parties since Shimura Danzo became the temporary Hokage Agent of Konoha.
At this time Danzo coldly looked at Orochimaru and questioned in a majestic tone, “Orochimaru… something’s wrong with the Jinchuriki of Kyuubi…. What did you do to him?”
Although Danzo didn’t attend yesterday’s Grand Entrance Ceremony in person, his eyes and ears were still present at that ceremony, so everything that happened there was within Danzo’s surveillance.
Unlike most of the other people who were present at the Grand Entrance Ceremony, Danzo’s suspicions didn’t allow him to take Naruto’s claim of having mastered Senjutsu Mode as a joke… Although he doesn’t know how Naruto can learn such a difficult Jutsu at such a young, he still chose to trust his instincts and felt it might be possible and if it is then it must have something to do with Orochimaru, therefore, he questioned the snake sitting in front of him today.
Uchiha Tsukihi wearing her Homusubi mask also looked at Orochimaru, but she was not really interested in Orochimaru’s answer as she is fully aware of the process through which Naruto mastered the Senjutsu Mode.
After all, Ichikishima hime, the one who taught Naruto has personally told Kuroto about it. Moreover, Kuroto even questioned Hinata about her entire experience after she and Naruto were abducted by Orochimaru.
Hinata has always had a close relationship with Yui, and because Kuroto and Yui are lovers, Hinata is also quite familiar with Kuroto. When questioned by Kuroto, Hinata started to tell her experience and told almost everything to Kuroto that happened to the two of them, what happened after they were abducted, how they were treated, and many other things, except their short little adventure at the Ryūchi Cave… the little girl was hesitating to reveal Naruto’s secrets.
