Naruto Dream Fulfillment Master

It has no side effects, doesn't require constant suppression like Hashirama's cells, and can even bring Wood Release and powerful life force!

Hearing this in his dream, he almost showed his delight.

When Orochimaru mentioned "there are many," Danzo's heart raced, his breathing quickened, and an arrogant image uncontrollably formed in his mind—

If all members of the Root organization were implanted with this monster, what a terrifying force would be created!

One after another, these are immortal, regenerating monsters, each wielding the terrifying Wood Release technique, further enhanced by the Sharingan's ocular power...

Who can possibly stand in his way?

At that time, let alone the mere position of Hokage, it wouldn't be impossible for Konoha to dominate the ninja world!

"Haha..." Danzo couldn't help but chuckle softly, his whole body trembling with excitement.

Thinking of this, he could no longer sit still. He got out of bed and hurriedly dressed.

Without even having breakfast, Danzo eagerly set off for the "Root" base—

He had to contact Orochimaru as soon as possible to find out what the monster in his dream was all about and whether he could get his hands on it in reality!

Traveling swiftly, Danzo quickly arrived at the Root organization base in Konoha Village.

He hurried through the dark corridor, pushed open the heavy door to the office, and went straight to his desk.

The scene from his dream last night haunted him, and now only one thought occupied his mind: to contact Orochimaru and confirm the monster's information!

He had previously collaborated with Orochimaru on several secret occasions, and he knew how to find him.

Danzo eagerly pulled open the drawer and began searching through layers of confidential files.

The only sound in the room was the rustling of him frantically flipping through papers.

The thought of that monster who could change his fate being so close made him want to drag Orochimaru out immediately and ask him questions face to face.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't been searching for long when there was a rapid knocking on the office door: "Report! Lord Danzo—"

Danzo paused, displeased, and said in a deep voice, "Enter."

A Root ninja pushed open the door and entered, kneeling on one knee and clasping his hands in greeting: "Lord Danzo, the Third Hokage... has arrived!"

"what?!"

Danzo's pupils contracted, his face full of doubt. "Hiruzen Sarutobi? What's he doing here?"

What's going on? What's wrong with that old man Hiruzen today? He actually came to the Root base on his own initiative.

Danzo had a variety of guesses flashing through his mind, but he couldn't quite put his finger on them.

Suddenly, as if he had just remembered something, his pupils dilated sharply: "Last night... a dream?"

correct!

I was so carried away in my dream yesterday that I forgot for a moment that there was an audience in that dream!

Everything that happened in the dream could be clearly seen from the audience!

Danzo's face darkened instantly, and his heart sank: Did that mean that Hiruzen had seen through his dream of his secret collusion with Orochimaru and his ambition to overthrow Minato Namikaze's rule?!

This... isn't this tantamount to him digging his own grave?!

Danzo was in a state of confusion, feeling a chill run down his back and cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He never expected that last night's beautiful dream would turn into a nightmare that exposed his ambition!

Just as Danzo was in a state of utter confusion, a loud "bang" was heard, and the office door was violently pushed open from the outside and slammed against the wall.

Hiruzen Sarutobi strode into the room with a dark expression. His usual gentle demeanor was completely gone, replaced by barely suppressed rage.

The Third Hokage's eyes were wide open, and his anger seemed to emanate from them in a tangible way.

Danzo hadn't seen his usually kind old friend show such a terrifying expression in a long time, and his heart skipped a beat: It seems that what he did in yesterday's dream has indeed been seen by Hiruzen!

However, in an instant, Danzo took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

What's there to panic about!

Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi saw something, it was just a dream!

In the dream, Danzo and Orochimaru colluded to overthrow the Fourth Hokage's rule...

But that was just a dream, not reality!

What is his connection to the real-life Danzo Shimura?

Thinking of this, Danzo quickly regained his composure, his face once again displaying its usual indifferent and profound expression.

He stepped forward, meeting Hiruzen Sarutobi's furious gaze, and said calmly, "Hiruzen, what are you doing...?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't waste any words, and said coldly, "I'm here today to tell you—Root has no need to exist anymore!"

Danzo's pupils constricted sharply upon hearing this, thinking he had misheard: "What did you say?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi repeated, word by word, as if issuing a notice: "From today onwards, the Root organization is disbanded! All members are incorporated into the Anbu and will be directly under the command of the Fifth Hokage, Tsunade!"

"you--!"

Danzo jumped up from his seat, veins bulging on his forehead. "Hiruzen! Are you crazy?! I don't agree!"

The Third Hokage's forceful declaration echoed in the cold, dark underground office, almost simultaneously punctuated by Danzo's furious roar.

Danzo's shout, filled with shock and anger, echoed loudly throughout the empty base.

The Root ninjas guarding the area were immediately alerted and appeared from all directions. Several figures flashed into the office and surrounded Hiruzen Sarutobi in the center.

Everyone was watching intently, their hands on their sword hilts, waiting for Danzo's order to forcefully expel this "uninvited guest" who had trespassed into the Root base—even if the other party was the Hokage of Konoha!

Upon seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi laughed in exasperation: "Fine, fine... Danzo, so this is your Root organization?!"

He glanced around, taking in the wary expressions on everyone's faces. His expression grew even more ashen, and he suddenly roared, "What, are you trying to rebel?!"

With this sharp shout, a terrifying aura exploded out!

An invisible pressure emanated from Hiruzen Sarutobi, and the air in the entire office seemed to freeze instantly.

In an instant, the Root ninjas around them trembled, their hair standing on end as if they were being stared at by a ferocious beast, and they dared not utter a sound.

Danzo was also taken aback by his old friend's sudden outburst of power, and a bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down his temple.

Since that night, he has never backed down in front of anyone in his life. Even the name of Uchiha Madara has never made him wary. The only exception is his old friend who has the title of the strongest Hokage.

His heart was in his throat: What happened to Hiruzen?!

The things that happened in my dream last night didn't really happen in reality, so why did Hiruzen react with such fury?

He didn't cause any actual harm in my dream last night, did he?

Did you really need to send Hiruzen Sarutobi to mobilize such a large force and come straight to our doorstep?!

Seeing the tense atmosphere around him, Danzo quickly realized that he couldn't let the situation escalate any further.

He shouted sternly, "What are you all doing here! Get out of the way!"

The members of Root exchanged glances. Seeing Danzo's anger, they had no choice but to temporarily suppress their hostility and slowly retreat to the outer perimeter.

Even so, they still didn't go far.

Seeing his subordinates retreat as ordered, Danzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Let him confront Hiruzen head-on in Konoha?

He's not that crazy!

It's one thing to engage in underhanded schemes and schemes.

Today, Hiruzen Sarutobi came knocking on our door in such a grand manner.

If we were to actually break off relations and attack Hiruzen Sarutobi now, what if something happened to the Third Hokage?

Then he'll never be able to become the Hokage in his lifetime.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stared coldly at Danzo, his eyes filled with both disappointment and anger. He spoke in a deep voice, "Danzo, don't think I'm unaware of your petty tricks! I always thought you loved Konoha and were loyal to Konoha, but that your methods were a bit extreme—now it seems I was terribly wrong!"

At this point, his tone suddenly turned grim: "The Root organization is hereby disbanded, without delay!"

Danzo's expression changed drastically: "You—!"

What's wrong with Hiruzen today?

This old fellow isn't usually this tough!

The Root organization represents his years of hard work and is the foundation upon which he will eventually rise to the position of Hokage. How can it be disbanded so easily?!

Danzo's temple throbbed with anger as he suppressed his rage and tried to keep his voice calm: "Hiruzen... you should at least give me a reason, shouldn't you?"

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes darkened further, and he slowly uttered four words: "No reason!"

He stepped forward, looked directly into Danzo's eyes, and said in a low but firm voice, "I haven't completely resigned yet! This is the Hokage's order!"

Danzo's momentum faltered, and he felt uneasy under the other's gaze, leaving him speechless for a moment.

"By this afternoon," Hiruzen Sarutobi continued in a chilling tone, "I want to see every single member of Root report to the Anbu! Not a single one missing!"

Having said that, he flicked his sleeves and turned away without looking back, leaving no room for negotiation whatsoever.

"You—!" Danzo watched helplessly as Hiruzen Sarutobi stormed off, trembling with rage.

He slammed his fist on the table, and with a loud bang, the hard wooden tabletop shattered into pieces!

"Hiruzen Sarutobi!" Danzo roared at the door, his voice almost distorted, "You'll regret this!"

"I will never let this go—!!"

The only response he received was the sound of footsteps fading away at the end of the corridor, and the scattered wood chips on the office floor.

Danzo gritted his teeth, his face contorted with rage: "That damned Hiruzen... a couple of days ago when he was making excuses, he said he wasn't Hokage anymore; and today, he's saying he hasn't completely stepped down, and he's even using his Hokage status to pressure me?!"

"This is simply... outrageous!!"

……

Meanwhile, in the Land of Grass, near the border between the Land of Fire and the Land of Rain, a tall figure slowly emerged from the entrance of a hidden cave.

With flowing white hair, wearing red armor, and the character "oil" emblazoned on his forehead guard—this man was none other than Jiraiya.

He stretched lazily, stood on a high point outside the cave, and looked down at the surrounding wilderness.

A gentle breeze caressed my face, and the verdant grassland in the distance shimmered with a fresh glow in the morning light.
