Though Danzo said he wasn't interested, the truth was, he was quite envious of Xin's Sharingan and his genjutsu abilities.
But now was not the time for underhanded moves, angering the Third Hokage could jeopardize his position, especially since Xin's background made him too sensitive to target. Besides, Tsunade had taken a keen interest in the boy.
If Danzo made any move against Xin, Tsunade would undoubtedly explode, and the camp would descend into chaos.
Faced with the choice between recruiting a promising talent and retaining his authority, Danzo decisively chose the latter.
As for Xin embarrassing Shimura Shinobi-was that really a big deal? It was a trivial matter, hardly worth Danzo's attention.
There were plenty of people in the Shimura Clan. If every little issue required his intervention, then Danzo might as well abandon his ambitions and just focus on solving his clan's problems.
"Yes, sir."
With his orders given, the Root ninja disappeared from the tent, leaving Danzo alone, his expressionless face furrowing into a deep frown.
He had allied with Koharu and Homura, working together to wrest control of the front lines from the Third Hokage.
Yet, despite the power and authority that came with his position, Danzo found it uncomfortable, like sitting on a hot seat.
Every minor problem required his attention. That was one thing, and Danzo didn't shy away from scheming and plotting. But he was frustrated by his own limitations in directing the enemy's distribution and strategy.
He didn't want to relinquish his authority, but the weight of responsibility left him feeling caught between a rock and a hard place.
Moreover, the Third Hokage was keen to negotiate with Hanzo, hoping to end the war through diplomacy-something Danzo didn't want at all.
Danzo's ambition was to become Hokage, and to achieve that, he needed enough merits and recognition.
If the Third Hokage led the negotiations and ended the war, the credit wouldn't go to Danzo.
Indeed, no matter where you are, it's always better to have someone powerful to rely on.
