"Yes."
Seeing that Danzo was determined, Ryuma could only accept the order.
"By the way, Lord Danzo, am I also to follow you to the Land of Rain?"
"No, you will stay behind to protect the Patriarch of the Hyuga Main Family. Hyuga Hiashi is cold on the outside but warm on the inside, and he treats both the Main and Branch families equally. He will be an important bridge for stabilizing the Hyuga and the village. His existence is crucial for addressing future issues of the Hyuga Clan."
"Understood. I will protect him with my life."
Aburame Ryuma nodded seriously.

The Chakra orb was surrounded by the breath of the wind.
It was a Chakra orb infused with the nature transformation of the Wind Attribute Chakra — Wind Style: Rasengan.
Then, pressing this Chakra orb infused with the nature transformation of Wind Attribute Chakra onto the ground.
Along with a massive rumbling sound and a screeching noise like a stone scraping glass, making one instinctively want to cover their ears to block out the piercing sound.
The ground appeared with a large pit, and the sight in the pit seemed as if it had been savagely ravaged by a giant beast's claws. Compared to an ordinary Rasengan, the Rasengan infused with Chakra nature transformation undoubtedly had a higher level of destructive power.
Minato, looking at the enormous destruction caused by his jutsu, had beads of hard-earned sweat on his face and an exhausted smile.
"This form might barely be used for demonstration..."
Minato evaluated his jutsu this way.
Although it was powerful enough to have a devastating effect on a ninja like Hyuga Ayane, the preparation time was too long to keep up with the Flying Thunder God Jutsu's actions.
Moreover, due to the need to infuse Chakra nature transformation, he had not yet found the perfect trick. Performing this jutsu while running the Flying Thunder God Jutsu tends to lead to jutsu failure and harm to his body.
Therefore, it could not be immediately applied to actual combat for the time being, but due to its great destructive power, it could be used as a trump card for a killing blow, though various conditions need to be considered when using it.
"Amazing, amazing!"
Training with Minato were naturally the three, including Kakashi.
Obito stared wide-eyed at the large hole caused by Minato. Compared to his Great Fireball Jutsu, the destructive power of this jutsu, to be honest, had already exceeded his comprehension.
Attracted by this single jutsu, Obito gripped his right wrist with his left hand, his right hand's five fingers spread wide, shouting energetically:
"Alright, I'll do it too! Come on, Rasengan!"
A wisp of breeze passed through his fingers, and nothing happened.
"..."
Kakashi looked at him with a deadpan expression, treating him like an idiot.
Rin and Minato, on the other hand, showed an awkward yet polite smile.
"Are you an idiot? With such poor Chakra control, you're utterly unsuited for this jutsu without seals. Better concentrate on practicing your Fire Style Ninjutsu."
Kakashi said so.
In terms of Chakra control, Obito's aptitude could be described as exceptionally poor.
Perhaps due to being naturally thick-skinned or having a miswired brain, he could not learn jutsu requiring extremely high Chakra control, and he made no progress at all.
If this continues, even if he awakens the Sharingan, I suspect his level in Illusion Techniques will be a mess.
After all, Illusion Techniques are special jutsu, requiring extremely precise Chakra control; their learning difficulty is higher than many techniques.
"What did you say, Kakashi? Once I activate my Sharingan, I'll surely surpass you!"
Obito immediately retorted indignantly.
"The Uchiha is a noble clan, right? Even without the Sharingan, you should be a first-class ninja. Hanging the Sharingan on the hook all the time is a typical underachiever's statement, isn't it? Or, are you saying that without the Sharingan, you can't become an elite ninja?"
Kakashi spoke in a flat tone.
Obito, enraged to the point of bursting, was about to retort when Kakashi extended a hand, a perfect Chakra orb spinning in it.
It was Minato's Rasengan.
"Amazing, Kakashi, you've mastered Minato-sensei's A-Class Jutsu so quickly."
Rin looked at Kakashi with eyes full of admiration.
"Tch, it's just an A-Class Jutsu. I'll create an even more powerful S-Class Secret Ninjutsu in the future! Just wait and see!"
Obito, seeing Rin's admiration for Kakashi, immediately felt sour, the bitter jealousy lingering in the air.
Minato merely smiled as he watched all of this unfold.
Although Kakashi had quickly mastered the use of the Rasengan, which surprised him a little, thinking of Kakashi's inexplicable talent, it did not seem so hard to accept.
"Alright, that's it for today's practice. We have a patrol mission tomorrow, so it's time to rest well."
"Yes."
When the three responded, Minato nodded and left using Instantaneous Body Jutsu.
"What should we do next?"
Obito asked.
"Next, I want to train by myself for a while, so don't bother me."
Kakashi said.
"Who wants to hang out with you."
Obito placed his hands behind his head, lightly humming as he watched Kakashi's cool departing figure with the sword on his back.
Arriving in a quiet forest, the dense leaves overhead blocked the sunlight, making the environment somewhat dark.
Kakashi touched a nearby tree with one finger, an electric current flowing from his finger, spreading across the tree, and then dispersing into countless threads, radiating outward.
After confirming no one was watching him, he took out a piece of deep green crystal, shaped like chalk, from the Ninja Tool Bag.
