In Naruto: Reborn with a Chat Group-Chapter 81 - : Danzo’s Move

As Makoto walked toward the barbecue restaurant with Naruto and the others, he scrolled through the messages in the chat.

Some of the messages particularly caught his interest.

There were even details he hadn't known, despite having read the original storyline.

The most uptodate nove𝙡s are published on frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓.

For example, the original never mentioned him sharing so many childhood experiences with Hashirama!

Just imagining it made him chuckle.

Naruto and the others quickly noticed his laughter and became curious.

"Hey! Why are you laughing? Did you think of something funny? Tell us so we can all laugh together!" Naruto asked eagerly.

Although Sasuke remained silent, he listened intently, clearly interested.

Sakura also glanced at Makoto, curious about what made him laugh.

With his hands resting behind his head, Makoto grinned and replied, "I just thought of something funny. Your teacher, Kakashi, is said to have been a student of the Fourth Hokage. That's something most people in the village know, right?"

Sasuke and Sakura nodded their heads while Naruto looked puzzled.

He had never expected Kakashi, who didn't seem particularly strong to him, had actually been a student of the Fourth Hokage.

This made him question just how powerful the Fourth Hokage truly was.

Kakashi being the Fourth Hokage's student wasn't exactly a secret in the village, but for Naruto, this was the first time he had heard about it.

Sakura was still confused, furrowed her brows and asked, "But what does that have to do with your laughter just now?"

Makoto smirked and replied slowly, "Of course, it has everything to do with it!"

"As you all know, the Third Hokage had three students, the legendary Sannins. One of them was Jiraiya. The Fourth Hokage was Jiraiya's student, and Kakashi was the Fourth Hokage's student. Now, you guys are Kakashi's students, which means... I, am technically your senior. Shouldn't you start calling me Grandmaster now?"

The trio blinked in confusion.

"Huh!? How does that even work?"

For a moment, they struggled to wrap their heads around the strange hierarchy.

But as they thought it through, they realized that the chain of teacher-student relationships did make some sense.

The Third Hokage had trained Jiraiya, Jiraiya had trained the Fourth Hokage, the Fourth Hokage had trained Kakashi, and now Kakashi was their teacher. By that logic, Makoto was in the same generation as Jiraiya, making him, in a way, their senior.

Sakura and Sasuke was left speechless by his words.

"That's a load of crap! You just want to mess with us, don't you?" Naruto exclaimed, scowling in annoyance.

Makoto shook his head with an innocent look on his face. "No, no! How could I be messing with you? I'm just stating the truth. Come on, my dear students, call me Grandmaster now!"

Just then, messages from the group chat started flooding in.

[Senju Tobirama: If that's the case, kid, you also have to call me Grandmaster!]

[Makoto Ito: No! But maybe I should start calling you grandfather-in-law instead!]

[Uchiha Madara: How shameless!]

[Namikaze Minato: Somehow, I now have a kid as my master.....]

[Senju Tobirama: Minato, don't forget that makes me your Great Grandmaster!]

[Namikaze Minato: ...]

[Senju Hashirama: Hahaha! No matter what, I still have the highest seniority!]

A few minutes later, Makoto and the others finally arrived at the barbecue restaurant. Once inside, Sasuke, who had no shortage of money, ordered an variety of dishes. The smell of sizzling meat filled the air as they eagerly dug into their meal, laughter and chatter filling the table.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Konoha, deep within the Root base, Danzo sat in his chair, his lone eye coldly scanning the kneeling Root ninjas before him.

"You are to bring Makoto here tonight. Do not let anyone else know. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lord Danzo!" the Root ninjas responded in unison before swiftly vanishing into the shadows.

Danzo remained seated, his fingers drumming against the armrest as he narrowed his eyes.

"Hiruzen... Everything I do is for the village. You're too old to be Hokage. It's time for me to take over. I will restore Konoha to the glory it once had."

After a while, he and the others finished their meal, and Sasuke, without hesitation, paid the bill. With full stomachs, the four of them left the restaurant together.

As they strolled through the streets, Naruto patted his stomach with a contented grin. "Man, I'm so full! This is the best meal I've ever had! Thanks, Sasuke!" he said cheerfully.

Sasuke frowned slightly at Naruto's words.

The best meal he ever had? Had Naruto never eaten like this before?

Sasuke had also lost his family but he had at least grown up with the Uchiha clan's wealth. But Naruto... he had never had any of that.

At this moment, Sasuke felt a sense of familiarity and sympathy towards Naruto.
