Chapter 25: Danzo Tea
Chapter 25 Danzo Tea
Out of the alley.
The group did not go to the root base, but came to a teahouse built under the willow tree by the Konoha River.
"Master Danzo has been waiting for a long time, please come in."
The oily girl Ryoma turned sideways and made a gesture of please.
This tea room is made of wooden tiles, covering an area of less than ten square meters, especially the entrance for entry and exit is very low.
is a square of only 60 cm.
"Is this a dog cave? How do I get in such a small entrance?" Broken brows frowned, after all he was too big.
Itachi saw this, worried about a misunderstanding, so he took the initiative to explain:
"Uncle, guests have to bend their knees to enter the tea room. This is not to make things difficult, but to reflect the spirit of equality and humility in the tea ceremony.
Any guest entering in this way means throwing away their identity and rank and entering a non-secular world.
I think that Danzo-sama asked us to meet in the tea room to show us equality and friendship. "
Although his speech was a bit leaky due to tooth loss, Itachi still tried his best to explain the etiquette of the tea ceremony clearly.
He was born in a wealthy family, and he was exposed to the knowledge of the patriarch's father since he was a child, and he was exposed to this knowledge very early.
"Itachi is right."
The oil girl Ryoma expressed appreciation for Itachi's words, and lightly warned Duan, "Mr. Duan, Danzo-sama took the initiative to condescend, if you still have an arrogant attitude, don't enter."
"Uncle, let's go in quickly."
Itachi didn't want to embarrass Duan too much, so he walked to the mouth after speaking, took off his shoes and climbed in.
However.
Judgment still goes its own way.
I saw him walking to the opening, grabbed the connecting window above the opening, and stretched out his hand to pull it.
There was a tear.
Under the stunned gaze of the oily girl Ryoma, the entire window was just broken and taken down, and thrown aside casually.
"The hole is bigger now."
After muttering to himself, his burly body walked towards the mouth, and squeezed into the tea room abruptly.
The oily girl Longma frowned and followed in. And the two roots stood guard at the door.
The tea room is very simple.
Although it is small, there are tatami mats, tea tables, tea stoves, and tea sets. Flower arrangements are placed in the corners of the room.
The owner of the tea room, Danzo, is wearing a kimono, kneeling and sitting at one end of the tea table with his eyes closed, his body straightened, and his hands on his thighs.
looks very formal.
Itachi walked quietly across from Danzo, and knelt down in the same standard posture, with a serious and polite expression.
Duan doesn't like kneeling.
So he sat down next to his nephew, and the huge weight of three hundred catties shook the whole tea room.
also made Danzo open his eyes.
Juan has been doing whatever he wants since he entered the door, without a single bit of discipline, and he has lost all the etiquette that should not be broken.
Danzo didn’t seem to care, but said to Duan slowly:
"Uchiha Duan, the old man finally saw you. You are indeed an informal person as rumored."
"Thank you, Danzo-sama."
Duan casually crossed his legs, and asked straight to the point, "Come to us at night, you don't come just for tea, do you?"
"Take it easy, young man."
Danzo said, even though only his left arm could move, he still brewed tea skillfully, and he was familiar with the tea ceremony at a glance.
soon.
A bowl of steaming, emerald green matcha was pushed to Duan by Danzo with one hand:
"please."
"I don't like drinking tea." Duan said.
"If you don't drink, how do you know you don't like it?" Danzang said lightly, with a pun, which has a lot of meaning.
Duan frowned, but still picked up the tea bowl and drank it down in one gulp.
"Poof!"
As soon as the tea was in my mouth, I felt unusually bitter. I couldn't hold back a mouthful and sprayed it on the opposite Danzo's face.
The next moment.
"Bold!"
Several voices sounded at the same time, and several root ninjas rushed out from nowhere, and put various weapons such as ninja swords and kunai on the broken neck.
A small tea room can hide so many people.
"Everyone back down."
Danzo didn't get angry, and ordered in a low voice to the gang. Then, he took out a handkerchief from his clothes and slowly wiped the bitter tea off his face.
It was a temptation for him to stop drinking tea.
Danzo believes that Duan deliberately sprayed him in the face, but it is a childish provocation, and only children would do it.
The young man in front of him has a simple mind and well-developed limbs, and his personality is very immature.
Such people are actually the best to control.
"Sorry." The apology was sincere, because he really couldn't hold back.
"No problem."
Danzo forgave Duan's offensive behavior, and he was neither angry nor angry, showing the unfathomable city and the demeanor of being the assistant of Hokage.
He put it aside for the time being.
Made another bowl of bitter tea, pushed it towards Itachi, and said:
"Itachi, as I said, your life will be full of chaos. Drink this cup of Qingxin tea, it can relieve your inner anxiety and pain."
"Thank you Danzo-sama."
Itachi's heart was shaken, and he sat down and bowed to Danzo, and then took the tea bowl with both hands, brought it to his mouth and drank it down.
Danzo is kind to him, without his recommendation, he would not be able to enter Anbu.
He also promised Danzo that he would become the eyes and ears of the latter and monitor the Uchiha clan.
"Well…"
After drinking a bowl of matcha, Itachi suddenly widened his eyes and puffed out his mouth, feeling intense nausea and nausea.
If he only drinks bitter tea, he can bear it.
But the terrible thing is that Itachi just drank a full liter of chicken breast juice, and his stomach was feeling uncomfortable. At this time, a bowl of bitter tea entered his stomach, and the poison was added to the poison.
His stomach was overwhelmed, and his complexion quickly became more and more ugly.
After a few seconds.
"vomit~"
Itachi finally couldn't hold back anymore, and spit out a large pool of unknown liquid.
Yellow and green, with the smell of chicken excrement, bitter, and the sour smell of digestive juices... all mixed together for a while, permeating the small tea room.
"You said you, why did you still vomit?"
Seeing this, Duan frowned and patted Itachi on the back, while sternly exhorting his nephew, "In this case, all the protein I ate today will be lost, and I must eat ten boiled egg whites when I go back tonight."
Seeing this scene, Danzo's face finally sank.
Is the tea he made really that bad?
No, it's clear that the uncle and nephew colluded together, and they didn't give him face.
Uchiha's break is fine, Danzo was surprised by Itachi, who should have been respectful to him, but now embarrasses him in front of him.
Was it affected by the interruption?
Take a deep breath.
Danzo tried to calm down, looked directly at Duan, and suddenly said:
"Du, you should know that Itachi's entry into Anbu was recommended by the old man, right?"
Juan heard the words, nodded: "I just found out."
Danzo: "..."
He suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice again:
"To be honest, the Second Hokage set up a police force back then, in fact, to push the Uchiha clan out of Konoha's power center.
Therefore, Hirzen, Koharu, and Yan strongly opposed Uchiha’s joining Anbu, but I still used my honor to recommend Itachi.
Do you know why? "
"Why?" Duan pretended not to know, and asked for advice humbly.
