Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Yuuki in shock.
He actually managed to kill twelve Root members?
This talent is even more outstanding than Kakashi's back then!
But this was followed by doubt. Instead of directly confronting him, he patiently asked:
"Yuyue, you have to take responsibility for your words. Did you really do such a thing?"
Yes, that's right.
"Why did you do this?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, puzzled.
Shinomiya Yuuki adopted an innocent posture, as if saying, "I was unaware of this at the time," and slowly recounted:
"They said they came on the Hokage's orders, but those people were clearly not members of the Anbu."
"You can tell from their masks."
Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath and glanced displeasedly at Danzo.
He never expected that Danzo would be so audacious as to secretly act under the guise of the Hokage!
Isn't this tarnishing the honor of the title of Hokage?
The ninja who bears the name of Kage is the most respected person in the village. If Danzo is allowed to act so recklessly, he will ruin the reputation of the Hokage sooner or later!
Danzo's face darkened. Wasn't he interrogating Shinomiya Yuuki right now?
Why does it feel like he was the one who got hurt?
Seeing that her words had an effect, Shinomiya Yuzuki continued:
"I initially thought it was an enemy spy infiltrating, so I took care of them."
Yuuki turned her head, her gaze fixed on Shimura Danzo: "So these are all your subordinates. In other words, that so-called Hokage order was actually issued by you."
"Hey, you strange guy with the straps, which Hokage are you? I've never seen your statue on the Hokage Rock before."
"When will I be able to see the Hokage Rock carved with your face?"
Shinomiya Yuuki feigned ignorance, as if she truly knew nothing about it.
Of course, he was not mocking or ridiculing Danzo.
Danzo Shimura's breathing quickened, a surge of anger rising within him.
You keep calling me a "strap-up weirdo" and talking in that tone. Do you really think I can't tell you're being sarcastic?

Danzo, leaning on his cane, roared, "Boy, show me some respect! I am the assistant to the Hokage of Konoha, how dare you address me like that!"
"Your word from yesterday doesn't count," Hiruzen Sarutobi said casually from the side.
"Oh... so he's an assistant to the former Hokage, but he's still not the Hokage. How can he act under the Hokage's name like that?"
Shinomiya Yuuki deliberately emphasized the word "before," which was quite meaningful.
"Kid..."
Danzo was on the verge of turning red, and the atmosphere was about to explode.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped in to smooth things over.
"Alright, that's enough for today, Danzo. I hope I never hear of anything like this again," he said, his voice laced with warning.
Danzo snorted but didn't respond. Clearly, his desire for the Hokage position wouldn't be easily extinguished.
"Yuzuki, can you tell me how you dealt with those twelve 'Root' members?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, full of curiosity.
According to what he knew, Shinomiya Yuuki had never learned any particularly powerful ninjutsu since childhood. How did he manage to defeat twelve Root elites all by himself?
Danzo, who was standing to the side, became nervous first upon hearing this.
Is the secret of Wood Release about to be exposed?
Wouldn't that mean I've missed the opportunity to seize the initiative?
Judging from the traces left at the scene, Shinomiya Yuuki likely used a large-scale and incredibly powerful Wood Release ninjutsu, instantly eliminating all the Root members.
This is something that even Yamato couldn't accomplish. Does it mean that Shinomiya Yuuki's Wood Release is stronger than Yamato's?
He had to figure out how Shinomiya Yuuki obtained the Wood Release bloodline limit!
"He shouldn't be so stupid as to expose himself..."
Danzo secretly pondered to himself.
However, things didn't go as planned, and Shinomiya Yuuki frankly revealed the truth:
"It was Wood Release. I used Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique, and all the bandaged monster's henchmen were gone in the blink of an eye."
Danzo Shimura: "..."
Chapter 21 also gives Naruto a little break.
A huge question mark appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, his expression one of utter disbelief.
Was there something wrong with his ears, or did Shinomiya Yuuki let something slip?
Wood Release? In Konoha, how could anyone besides Yamato possibly master such a secret technique?
On that face etched with the marks of time, a slight furrow appeared in the brow.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a puff of his pipe and slowly asked, "Yuzuki, are you sure it's Wood Release?"
"Why not see it for yourself?"
Talking is pointless; a direct demonstration will be much more intuitive.
Shinomiya Yuuki clasped her hands together and softly chanted, "Wood Release: Tree Binding Technique."
Immediately afterwards, the Hokage Building began to tremble subtly.
In the blink of an eye, a large number of trees grew wildly around Shimura Danzo, penetrating the floor and binding his entire body tightly in an instant!
"This...!" Danzo Shimura exclaimed in surprise.
"Since there aren't any suitable models here, we'll have to ask Mr. Bandage to be our model."
"Mr. Bandage won't be angry, right?" Shinomiya Yuuki gave Danzo a playful look, her tone teasing.
"You...!" Danzo Shimura gritted his teeth.
"Put me down quickly!"
However, Shinomiya Yuuki pretended not to hear and turned directly to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Hokage-sama, you see, this is Wood Release."
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely stunned.
It was actually real Wood Release!
After a moment, he regained his composure, his eyes filled with astonishment: "It seems that the bloodline of the Senju clan once flowed through your family, and it has awakened in your generation."
Shinomiya Yuuki's parents clearly did not belong to the Senju clan, a fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen was quite certain of.
But tracing back a few generations, the situation becomes unknown. The ninja world during the Warring States period was in chaos, and he might truly be a lost descendant of the Senju clan.
After all, Shinomiya Yuuki's name wasn't mentioned in the previous experiments attempting to implant Hashirama cells, which means his Wood Release ability was self-awakened.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, his voice trembling with excitement: "Great! Wood Release has reappeared in Konoha! This is fantastic news for us!"
"With young people like you around, I can confidently entrust the future of Konoha to you, and I can finally rest easy and relieve myself of this burden."
The First Hokage conquered the ninja world with his Wood Release techniques, laying a solid foundation for Konoha.
The reappearance of Wood Release foreshadows an even more glorious era for Konoha.
"Yuzuki, besides us, is there anyone else who knows about your ability to use Wood Release?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.
"That's all, just a few of us."
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded, and after a moment's thought, suggested:
"Yuzuki, it's best to keep this a secret for now."
"Once you've gained further strength and your wings are fully grown..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi paused for a moment, and after a brief consideration, he said firmly, "At that time, you will become the Fifth Hokage of Konoha!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi also realized that his decision was somewhat abrupt.
But this is naturally awakened Wood Release...
Unlike Yamato, whose form was implanted later in life and is incomplete, Shinomiya Yuuki's potential is limitless.
To prevent talent from leaving the country, it's essential to offer substantial incentives, often referred to as "promising the moon."
To firmly bind Yuuki Shinomiya to Konoha's warship
"what?!"
