BSI Chapter 271 Talent is something that cannot be hidden.
Chapter 271 Talent is something that cannot be hidden.
Uchiha Kagami's words enlightened Danzo.
In his mind, what flashed through his mind was no longer the little girl herself, but a series of grand blueprints.
The defensive barrier for the planned Naga River Dam... a brand-new surveillance system covering the entire Hidden Leaf Village...
These massive projects, enough to drain Konoha's coffers, could be improved by just 3% in every aspect...
Danzo's breathing became somewhat rapid at this moment.
He looked at Kushina and the little boy behind her who was also listening attentively and holding a toad doll. He was no longer looking at two children.
They were looking at two unmined, immeasurable, and top-quality treasures!
The addition of the Uzumaki clan to Shimura Danzo's infrastructure project may even be more valuable than a Kage-level powerhouse!
The Root ninja in charge of the test had put away the equipment and stood respectfully to the side, but the slight trembling of his body betrayed his extreme inner turmoil.
He looked at Kushina's back as if she were no longer a child, but a walking encyclopedia of sealing techniques.
Kushina was completely unaware of the eerie silence around her.
She was still absorbed in her little discovery, even proudly putting her hands on her hips and showing off to Nagato, "See that, Nagato! Aren't I amazing! Dattebane!"
Nagato hugged the toad doll and nodded slightly, her black eyes reflecting her cousin's fiery red hair, filled with trust.
"cough."
A soft cough broke the silence.
Hiruzen Sarutobi had somehow appeared behind them, a gentle smile on his face as always.
"It seems that our future chief lecturer has already started teaching her students ahead of schedule."
The Ninth Generation Uzumaki was also nearby, and had witnessed the entire scene.
He looked at his family's genius with a complex expression that was both amused and proud.
This is the bloodline of the vortex, and this is the advantage of their race.
Danzo suddenly sat up straight, took a deep breath, and asked the two children in front of him a question in an unprecedentedly solemn tone.
"you..."
His voice had lost some of its aloofness and coldness, and gained more respect.
"Interested in coming with me to inspect the entire camp's barrier setup?"
Kushina paused for a moment, then puffed out her chest, put her hands on her hips, and proudly raised her chin.
"Hmph, of course no problem! Leave it to me, dattebane!"
"Okay, meet here tomorrow morning at 5:00 AM."
The next day, just as dawn was breaking.
Tsunade, still asleep, was awakened by a heated argument.
She scurried out of the tent in frustration, only to be met with a jaw-dropping sight.
In the open space in the center of the camp, Shimura Danzo was squatting on the ground, with a huge engineering blueprint spread out in front of him.
Opposite him, Kushina Uzumaki stood with her hands on her hips, her mouth moving like a machine gun, pointing and gesturing at a certain part of the blueprint.
"No, no! This node is too far out; we need to move it three body lengths inward to form a defensive triangle with the defensive stronghold over there!"
What shocked Tsunade even more was that Nagato Uzumaki, the little boy who had been too shy to speak loudly the whole way next to Kushina, was now unusually quiet.
He held the toad doll, his tiny finger firmly pointing at another spot on the drawing, and retorted in a voice that was still somewhat soft but exceptionally clear:
"No! If we move it inwards, it will be too close to the main energy channel, which will easily cause interference. We should add a decoy node here to draw the enemy's attention away."
Danzo Shimura, the leader of Root who struck fear into the hearts of the entire ninja world, was actually listening attentively to the two children's instructions, occasionally picking up a pen and arguing fiercely with them on the drawings.
The scene was both eerie and harmonious.
Tsunade rubbed her eyes, making sure she wasn't seeing things.
Looking at the three figures, one adult and two children, arguing fiercely over a blueprint, she suddenly realized that the journey home this time seemed much more interesting than she had imagined.
Tsunade rubbed her slightly throbbing temples.
She was certain she wasn't mistaken.
In the center of the camp, Konoha's two most revered figures, Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Kagami, were engaged in what could be described as a heated "academic discussion" around a huge engineering blueprint with a ten-year-old girl and a six-year-old boy.
And she, the princess of the Senju clan and one of the legendary Sannin, actually felt somewhat unable to join the conversation.
"Teacher, did you expect this to happen?"
Tsunade turned her head to look at the man beside her who had a gentle smile on his face the whole time.
Hiruzen Sarutobi held his teacup and gently blew on the steam.
"Talent is something that can't be hidden. Rather than hiding it, let it shine in the most suitable place."
He watched the three figures, one adult and two children, arguing endlessly, and felt that this scene was more comforting than any victory celebration.
"Alright, everyone stop for a moment."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
The argument abruptly ended.
Danzo straightened up, glanced at the blueprints with some lingering interest, and then looked at the two little guys opposite him, their faces flushed, still arguing vehemently.
Kushina stood with her hands on her hips and her cheeks puffed out.
Nagato silently pointed out his point again on the drawing.
That's all for today.
Hiruzen Sarutobi walked over and said, "Pack up, let's continue."
"Wait, Hiruzen, there's room for improvement in the design of this power supply circuit!"
Danzo immediately said, his soul, belonging to the infrastructure maniac, was burning fiercely.
"No need for optimization! Uncle, you insisted on making the main road so straight, it's no fun at all, dattebane!"
"Life needs a few detours."
Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and replied, "Alright, Danzo, the three of you can discuss this further after we arrive in Konoha. But for now, we need to get going."
These words instantly gave Danzo a sense of balance.
He nodded, and with the same scrutinizing attitude one would show to a valuable technical advisor, he re-examined Kushina and Nagato. Then, he meticulously rolled up the densely marked blueprint and carefully put it away.
