Naruto: Who Made Him a Ninja?

That year...

Danzo ambitiously launched his bid for the position of Fourth Hokage.

That year...

Danzo thought a genius had come over to his side. He was overjoyed, and secretly marveled that the gap between him and Hiruzen was growing smaller by the day.

That year...

Danzo slapped himself hard across the face and pointed at certain people. “You think you can place the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal on me??

“You think you can learn my secrets??

“As an elder of Konoha, the very foundation of my standing is ‘honor and integrity.’ Ask anyone in Konoha, and they’ll tell you that I, Danzo, have no secrets.

“You won’t be placing the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal on me.”

That year...

At the Hyuga Clan Compound, Hyuga Hiashi was doing his best to calm the hot-tempered young man before him.

“Your younger brother, Hizashi, killed himself to protect your main family.”

“I know... I examined the body myself.”

“Then why, as the guardian of Neji Hyuga and Hinata Hyuga, haven’t you taught them better? I came back from a mission this time to find my windows smashed again.”

Hyuga Hiashi took a deep breath and replied without expression,

“Deep bonds between siblings, blood thicker than water. These are the bonds Lord Hokage often talks about, and they are a fine tradition of our Hyuga Clan.”

“Your so-called clan tradition and bonds mean turning a blind eye to the blame piled on me? Telling them to smash my windows?”

“As Konoha’s foremost clan, the foundation of the Hyuga Clan’s standing is ‘honor and integrity.’

“Hiashi had nothing to do with inciting them.

“Hinata smashed the windows.

“My family will pay for the damage.”
