Chương 135: Danzo.

Memories flashed past Danzo's eyes.

"Hiruzen!! Did you know Ultra Fighter can defeat the First Hokage!?" a child Danzo spoke up while holding an Ultra Fighter figurine in his hand and bashing a Hashirama figurine that Hiruzen was holding.

"No way!!! The first Hokage is definitely stronger!!"

"Noooo!!! Ultra Fighter is stronger!!!" Danzo argued back. Both Hiruzen and Danzo glared at each other before they jumped onto each other with anger!! Only at the very last second, someone grabbed them by the scruffs of their collars and hung them in the air.

"Fighting your comrades is against the Ultra Fighter code of conduct. Shame on you Danzo for being my fan and still initiating violence."

"Yeah!! Shame on you Danzo!!" Hiruzen said with excitement. Danzo looked down, ashamed that he had let his idol down and quietly lay limp in his grasp like a sad cat.

'Huh? What is this?'

'Ultra Fighter?'

'Was there someone like that in my memories?'

'Did I use to admire Ultra Fighter as a kid?'

'But didn't Fu say something about an Ultra Fighter too…?' The scene changed as another memory flashed past Danzo's eyes. Danzo had just passed his Chunin exams and was out on a mission with his teammates.

"This enemy shionbi wants to kill our border post guards to start a war with us Danzo… what should we do?" Hiruzen asked Danzo, looking quite pitiful.

"What else! We must torture him to reveal which country he is from! Then we can reveal the information to Sensei so that he takes retaliatory measures against the enemy country!" Danzo replied promptly. It was then that Ultra Fighter showed up in Danzo's vision.

"I am ashamed of you Danzo… you would resort to violence so quickly? You should try and understand the heart of the enemy and treat him with kindness!! Only then will you be able to become someone worthy of the village's respect. Don't you want that Danzo? The village's respect?"

"Yes!! Yes, Ultra Fighter!! I want the villagers' respect!! How do I learn the enemy's heart!?"

"Do you know how dogs know everything about their friends Danzo?"

"No Ultra Fighter… how?? I'm sorry I don't even know such a simple thing, I've truly shamed you and your teachings."

"That's alright Danzo… the important thing is to learn!! The way to know your enemy's heart is by sniffing their butts!"

"Is that so… I will ponder this strategy carefully, Ultra Fighter." Danzo said with a serious gaze.

'Yes… it is quite important to know the enemy's heart in a war… that allows you to predict the enemy's moves ahead of time and lay down traps for them…' Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on the original website.

'But to know the enemy's heart by sniffing their butts?'

'Hmm… Ultra Fighter my idol is saying this… so he must be right, right?'

'What would Sensei say?'

'Does Sensei think this too?' The scene changed and another memory flashed past Danzo's eyes. Danzo was a little more grown up, he looked stunning and however he was currently on the battlefield!

"No! Lord Second!! You cannot stay back to save us!! I and Hiruzen will stay back to protect you!! The village still needs you!!" Tobirama looked down at Danzo and Hiruzen and appeared to think for a moment before he spoke wisely.

"Hiruzen you must go back and become the Hokage… As for you Danzo… you've earned the true spirit of Ultra Fighter… of the will of the people of the village…"

"Your sniffing butt technique is so powerful that you will never be corrupted by the village's darkness…"

"I order you to be the butt sniffer of the village and always make sure people are alright by sniffing their butts!!! That is your dream Danzo!!! The greatest dream a shinobi of the leaf village can have!!!" Danzo felt a righteous zeal burn in his eyes.

"Yes Lord Second!!! My aim is to sniff the most butts in this country!! To always keep track of how people are doing by sniffing their butts so that by sniffing their butts I can make Konoha Great Again!!!"

"Yes Danzo!!! Never give up your dream of sniffing butts!!! Remember, sniffing butts brings people together!!"

"Even if they are hesitant. Even if they hate you for sniffing their butts, you must never stop sniffing butts!! For the greatest thing you can do in your life is to sniff the butts of all the people you come across!!!"

"Yes Lord Second!!! I will become a better butt sniffer than the dogs of the Inuzuka clan!"

'Is this what the Second Hokage said to me on that fateful day?'

'Hmmm… was my dream always to be a butt sniffer?'

'Well my memories can't lie… if Lord Second said so… it must be true… after all even Ultra Fighter told me previously that butt sniffing was the way to the enemy's heart!"

"This is just an extension of his teaching! Even Lord Tobirama must be a great butt sniffer for him to give me this profound teaching!' In the span of a few seconds, billions of memories of Danzo's life changed and were overwritten with butt sniffing as his main prerogative as Haruto spent nearly all his chakra and some more to do so. Danzo's memories learnt all the tips and tricks to butt sniffing.

He had memories of good sniffs, bad sniffs, sniffs that meant that the person was feeling lonely and he needed to play fetch with them. Sniffs that meant that the person lacked money and he needed to dig out his greatest treasures and donate it to them… his entire life began revolving around sniffing butts. Danzo truly began to believe that butt sniffing was the highest goal of his life. Yet in the deepest corners of his heart, he had a feeling that something was not quite right. There was a hint of hesitation.

'How can butt sniffing be the greatest goal of my life?'

'Wasn't it to dominate the entire shinobi world and make Konoha great again?' It was at this point that another memory flashed past Danzo's eyes.

"Danzo… I am disappointed with you." It was Ultra Fighter.

"Ultra Fighter!? You are here!?"

"Yes… I am here as a projection of the village when it is in need…"

"In need of you!? Have I not been doing my job of sniffing butts well Ultra Fighter!? Why does the village need you to appear!?" Danzo asked like a blind follower.

"Have you seen the state of the village Danzo?" Suddenly Danzo was thrust into the Hashirama Cell Experiment Base. Several kids were terrified, researchers looked like they'd seen horrors beyond comprehension. People dying slowly as they were turning insane, their minds degrading at a pace that slowly began to change their identities. Danzo fell into a state of shock.

"Who did that!? How did my butt sniffing not detect it!? Is my butt sniffing not powerful after all!?"

"No Ultra Fighter's dog, your butt sniffing is immaculate!!! But you have to know… there is an enemy called Danzo who has turned the village into this hell! What will you do to save it from him!?"

"I wil ki- no!! I will sniff his butt!! But I am Danzo… no I am Ultra Fighter's dog!!! I must sniff my own butt!? No I must sniff Danzo's butt!!"

"Where is Danzo's butt!?!?"

"It's my butt!!!"

"So the answer to the peace of the village lies in my butt!!! I understand Ultra Fighter!!!"

"I will sniff Danzo's butt continuously until I have not understood his heart and helped him recover from the pain in his heart!!!!"

"Good… you have passed my ultimate test, Ultra Fighter's Dog… stand proud for I bestow upon you the title of the Greatest Dog in the world." The memories stopped flashing by Danzo's eyes and suddenly he was back in the Hokage Office, looking at Fu Yamanaka.

'Yes… yes… there was an attack in the Hokage office… the attack was on a person called Danzo…'

'Poor guy… he must be so terrified right now… I must sniff his butt to help him recover.' And so under the absolutely confused gaze of Aburame Torune, Danzo collapsed on all fours and sat on his legs before lifting his butt and beginning to sniff it heavily.

"Danzo-sama?" Torune asked, confused. Was this a new jutsu? Torune looked at Fu Yamanaka with an unsure gaze when he realised that Fu Yamanaka was fainting rapidly. He rushed towards Fu's side and helped his partner in crime stand up straight while Fu spoke his last words very quickly.

"Torune… you must remember… Ultra Fighter is trying to kill Danzo-sama! Save Danzo-sama…. Only you can do it… I leave Danzo-sama's life in your hands…" Torune suddenly felt something poke his butt, he immediately clenched up and looked down underneath him. It was Danzo.
