Chapter 258: Kazekage Ninja- - 47: Yahiko Stands Up to Danzō
"Bastard! Ungrateful little wretch!"
Danzō Shimura stormed out of the Amekage Building, face twisted with anger, his robes snapping behind him.
"Lord Danzō, there’s no need to get so worked up. Wasn’t this kind of resistance within our expectations?" whispered Sakumo Hatake, disguised as a retainer, hurrying to calm him down.
"That brat Yahiko—still wet behind the ears—dares to put on airs in front of me! Who does he think he is, Hanzō of the Salamander?!"
Seeing Danzō’s temper flaring out of control, Sakumo wisely fell silent. Though both were Konoha ’standing committee’ members, Danzō outranked him by far, and he had no intention of getting on Danzō’s bad side.
Deprived of a convenient target for his rage, Danzō felt as if he’d punched a pillow. He spun on his heel and set his sights on another attendant—Fugaku Uchiha.
But Fugaku was oblivious, completely absorbed in fiddling with a tiny straw doll.
"Play, play, play! All you ever do is mess with that damn straw doll! I’ll show you playing!" Danzō snapped, snatching the doll from Fugaku’s hands, hurling it to the ground, and stomping on it twice for good measure.
Fugaku shot Danzō a look of quiet resentment, shook his head, and—without a word—pulled another straw doll from inside his robes.
"You little—!"
Danzō was about to explode. Was this kid trying to mess with him on purpose? Just as he was about to let loose, Sakumo tugged discreetly at his sleeve.
Only then did Danzō realize this wasn’t the place to vent his fury. He spat, "Let’s go. Back to the inn!"
