In Konoha: My canned food shop is very popular in the ninja world

Chapter 117: Danzo takes action personally, and Yuhi Kurenai’s plan; Third Generation: Danzo, you need to understand

A new day comes quietly, and Konoha Village gradually wakes up in the morning light.

The rising sun is like a dazzling gem, emitting warm light and spreading golden glow all over the earth.

The birds chirping softly in the treetops added a bit of liveliness to this quiet morning.

In another corner of Konoha Village, where the sunlight cannot reach.

The third base of the root.

In the dim corridor, only a few lights flickered weakly, like will-o'-the-wisp in the darkness.

There was a hint of chill in the gloomy air, which made people shudder.

In a secret room in the deepest part of the base, Danzo Shimura was hiding in the darkness, as if he had merged into one with the shadow.

Sitting quietly on an antique wooden chair, a sneer appeared on Danzo's face, and his eyes flashed strangely in the darkness.

"Recovering faster than I expected." Danzo muttered to himself, his voice low and gloomy, as if coming from the depths of hell.

The next second, Danzo stretched out a hand, feeling the strength gradually returning to his body.

Compared to yesterday, I have recovered more today.

At least he could stand up.

Thinking of this, Danzo slowly stood up and stretched his muscles, as if testing his recovery.

His movements seemed a little stiff, but after a few deep breaths, his condition gradually stabilized.

For a moment, Danzo was in a very happy mood.

At this speed, I will be able to fully recover my strength to move within a few days.

"Lord Danzo."

At this moment, a Root ninja appeared out of nowhere in front of Danzo and whispered, "Another person is missing."

"What!?"

Hearing this, Danzo's expression instantly darkened: "Who?"

Things have calmed down in the past few days, so how come someone is missing again?

He had clearly evacuated all the Root ninjas around the Hyuga clan, so there was no way they were missing.

The Root has suffered heavy losses nowadays. Every Root ninja is a valuable asset and cannot be lost so easily.

Not to mention, he's still missing.

"It was Zhu Ling from yesterday."

The Root Ninja whispered, "When he brought you the snail noodle yesterday, you asked him to get a recipe for it. He hasn't come back yet. We looked for him and found that he had disappeared too."

"Zhu Ling?"

Hearing this, Danzo frowned: "Why is it him?"

You know, the Root ninja who can deliver food to him is already one of his confidants.

How could he disappear inexplicably?

It is impossible for Zhu Ling to defect as she was promoted by him.

Didn't I just tell him to get a recipe? How come he disappeared?
"Is it related to Ichiraku Ramen?"

Danzo looked at the subordinate in front of him with suspicion.

What a joke.

Creating a ramen shop and making a recipe for snail noodles is no problem at all for a Root Ninja.

How could a living person just disappear?

"We checked out Ichiraku Ramen and the newly opened river snail noodle shop this morning, but didn't find anything."

The Root Ninja whispered, "But the door lock of the newly opened snail noodle shop has signs of being damaged. It was done by Zhu Ling, but that's the only sign. Apart from that, there are no other clues."

"You mean, he went into that newly opened snail noodle shop and disappeared?"

Danzo tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingers, and every tap was like a warning bell ringing in people's hearts. He said coldly, "How big is that store?"

How could a living person disappear in a store?

“We’re wondering about that, too.”

The Root ninja whispered, "There was no sign of fighting at the scene. It is possible that Zhu Ling has taken the recipe and left. Master Danzo, you also know how popular snail noodles are. If he took the recipe to other places, he would be able to accumulate money quickly. This is our most likely guess."

"impossible."

Hearing this, Danzo shook his head decisively.

How could the Root ninja he trained personally betray him so easily?
Although Zhu Ling was not trained by him since childhood, he had set up a seal to eliminate her from the root of the trouble, and she had completed the tasks he arranged several times. He already had evidence against her. How could she betray him easily?

"wrong."

Danzo, who was shaking his head, suddenly twitched his eyelids.

It's not impossible.

I don't have complete control over this guy's life and death.

If the other party betrays me, as long as he doesn't reveal the secrets of myself and the Root, then it seems that it is not impossible to escape far away?

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

probably not.

But there is this possibility.

The value of the snail noodle recipe seems to be enough to make a ninja take a risk.

He had tried this delicacy himself and liked it very much, otherwise he would not have arranged for someone to make the recipe.

"Help me go to these two stores and I will inspect them myself."

Danzo said coldly: "At present, he is just missing. In addition to defection, I also think that it may be the work of the Hyuga clan."

After all, several of his previous Root ninjas were made missing by the Hyuga clan.

Now that another ninja is missing, it doesn't seem unreasonable, right?
But where does the Hyuga clan get the courage?
Dare to attack the Root Ninja again and again.

This does absolutely no good.

Now, in his opinion, he and the Hyuga clan have temporarily "stopped".

At least he did not arrange any more Root ninjas to monitor the Hyuga clan. The Hyuga clan should also be more "sensible" and would not attack the Root ninjas.

After all, the Root is affiliated with the Anbu!
"Yes."

After hearing Danzo's words, this Root Ninja immediately disguised himself simply, then took Danzo out of the Root base and went to Ichiraku Ramen first.

When they arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, Danzo took a quick look and saw Asuma Sarutobi and his team sitting there.

"Danzo."

Asuma Sarutobi, who brought his team to eat ramen, looked at Danzo who had arrived with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Why did this guy come to Ichiraku Ramen?
Didn't you say that you have been recuperating at the root base?
"Well, that's dangerous."

Next to her, Yamanaka Ino looked over and immediately felt a cold, dark aura blowing in her face, causing her to swallow subconsciously and decisively shift her gaze.

As if noticing Yamanaka Ino's gaze, Danzo looked over, causing Yamanaka Ino's heart to skip a beat.

She felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and there was no way to stop the feeling.

But in an instant, this feeling disappeared.

"Don't release chakra perception at will. This is impolite, Ino."

Asuma Sarutobi smiled and placed a bowl of ramen in front of Yamanaka Ino, motioning for Yamanaka Ino to eat first.

"Asuma-sensei."

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ino breathed a sigh of relief.

In Asuma's sight, Danzo walked directly into Ichiraku Ramen.

After taking a look around, he left, which made Asuma frown slightly, somewhat confused about Danzo's behavior.

"You guys eat first."

Asuma gave an order to Yamanaka Ino and the others, then stood up and walked out.

He was quite curious about Danzo's behavior.

As for fear, it does not exist.

So take a look, it seems that Danzo is not hiding anything, and Asuma Sarutobi is very curious about what Danzo is doing in Ichiraku Ramen for no apparent reason.

If it were anyone else, he would not take it seriously.

But Danzo.

"Lord Danzo."

The Root ninja who had already left the ramen shop, while pushing Danzo, suddenly whispered when he noticed Asuma following behind him.

"No need to worry about it."

Danzo shook his head. He just came to take a look and there was nothing shameful about it.

As long as Asuma Sarutobi doesn't follow him to his root base.

Under Asuma's attention, Danzo and the Root Ninja came to the snail noodle shop opened by Ayame.

"red!"

When Asuma Sarutobi saw Kurenai appear in the snail noodle shop, his eyes lit up.

I actually saw Sunset Red here.

Ever since he knew that Yuhi Kurenai went to Ichiraku Ramen to eat snail noodles, he immediately took his team there to eat every day.

As a result, I haven’t seen it in the past two days.

Unexpectedly, Xiurihong actually came to this newly opened snail noodle shop.

Then, I will bring Shikamaru and the others here to eat.

In the snail noodle shop opened by Acorus, Yuhi Kurenai also noticed the arrival of Danzo, and her brows frowned slightly without leaving a trace.

As a jonin of Konoha Village, she was not unaware of Danzo Shimura, the Hokage's advisor.

Even because Asuma often looked for her, she got to know Danzo better.

Danzo also saw Kurenai Yuhi and frowned slightly.

Is this snail noodle shop so popular?
Even Yuhi Kurenai is here.

Then, the Root Ninja who was following him asked Acorus to busy himself under the pretext of buying a bowl of snail noodles.

Danzo also observed Ayame and glanced around, but didn't find anything he wanted.

Finally, Danzo left with his men.

"What a weird guy, leaving now?"

Acorus, who had just brought out a bowl of snail noodles, was immediately shocked to see that Danzo and the other man were nowhere to be seen.

Are you amusing yourself?
"Acorus, how about you close the shop for the next two days?"

Xihihong looked at Acorus and said, "Those two guys just now are not ordinary people."

Danzo from the Root suddenly brought people here, but Kurenai didn't think that they were here to eat snail noodles.

"Eh? Not a normal person, but a ninja?"

Hearing what Yuhi Kurenai said, Ayame scratched her head and said hesitantly, "Then there's no need to close the store."

I just opened the shop, and I was thinking about seeing Lin Mo here every day.

If it's closed for two days, it would be a loss.

"Well, that's a ninja from Konoha Anbu. He came here suddenly. Maybe something happened."

Xihihong thought for a moment and said, "I'll be free next time, so come sit next to you."

This gives me a reason to stay here and observe Lin Mo's shop.

"Anbu?"

After hearing what Yuhi Kurenai said, Ayame was stunned and said hesitantly, "Some time ago, patrolling ninjas and ANBU ninjas went to Ichiraku Ramen to ask if there were any suspicious people. Could it be related to the explosion? Haven't they found out yet?"

When the explosion happened in Konoha Village before, many ninjas took action.

Her Ichiraku Ramen restaurant has also encountered many ninja inquiries before.

This is a very normal thing.

"Maybe."

Xihihong smiled cheerfully and said, "Since you are not planning to close the store, I will bring the team here after training today. If there is any emergency, I can also lend a hand."

"well, thanks."

Hearing what Yuhi Kurenai said, Acorus immediately nodded and thanked Yuhi Kurenai.

Then, Yuhi Kurenai said goodbye to Acorus and left.

At this point in time, it is almost time for Hyuga Hinata and others to gather.

"red."

Not long after Yuhikuren walked out of the snail noodle shop, Asuma looked at Yuhikuren and greeted her.

"Yeah, Asuma."

Xihi Kurenai nodded as a greeting: "Good morning."

"Um, Hong, do you have time today?"

Asuma hesitated; "After the team finishes training, we can sit down and let the children talk too."

"I don't have the time, sorry."

Hearing Asuma's words, Xihi Kurenai immediately shook her head: "I'm a little busy. The children's communication will have to wait until I'm free later."

"Ok."

After hearing what Yuhi Kurenai said, Asuma sighed and was very disappointed.

Then Yuhi Kurenai said goodbye to Asuma and left.

Seeing Yuhi Kurenai leaving, Asuma scratched his head and wanted to say something, but in the end it turned into a deep sigh.

"Lord Danzo."

at this time.

The Root ninja who had already left said respectfully as he walked with Danzo, "If we can't find Zhu Ling, what should we do next?"

"This shop is so small. Zhu Ling's disappearance may be due to her escape, or it may be the work of the Hyuga clan."

Shimura Danzo frowned and said, "It has nothing to do with the store. At the same time, keep your eyes on the outside of the village and send it to the intelligence personnel to ask them to investigate if there are any shops selling snail noodles."

"In addition, the Root ninjas will move in groups of three and avoid the Hyuga clan's territory. I speculate that the Hyuga clan may be behind this."

Out of the blue, a living person suddenly disappeared. Danzo Shimura felt that only the Hyuga clan could do such a thing.

After all, there are precedents.

"Yes."

Hearing Danzo's words, the Root Ninja immediately nodded respectfully.

"Lord Danzo."

At this moment, another Root ninja quickly came to Danzo.

While presenting a butterfly dart, he said respectfully: "I found a new type of ninja tool. Judging from its shape, it is much more convenient than the kunai and the one in your hand."

"New ninja tools?"

Hearing this, Danzo frowned, took it and looked at it, then suddenly narrowed his eyes: "What a sinister ninja tool."

With just one glance, Danzo judged that this butterfly dart was much more vicious than the kunai.

And it is lighter.

"Send a group of people to see if they can copy it."

Immediately, Danzo gave the order: "Also bring the researcher here to see if he can develop something specifically for me. At the same time, collect these ninja tools immediately and don't let them get out."

This kind of good thing must be in your own hands.

Only in this way can one's roots better protect the village.

"Danzo-sama, we can't collect them."

Hearing Danzo's words, the Root member hesitated for a moment and said, "This was developed by a ninja tool shop. This ninja tool has become popular throughout Konoha and is very popular. The Hokage's Anbu even found this ninja tool shop and ordered a batch of ninja tools. Currently, this ninja tool is in short supply."

"What do you do for food?"

Hearing this, Danzo was furious and shouted coldly: "Why didn't you report this thing to me the first time it appeared?"

How could Hiruzen's movements be faster than his?
"Master Danzo, we have been staying in the base for the past two days and have been unable to pay attention to some of the things happening in Konoha Village."

Seeing the furious Danzo, the Root Ninja whispered: "We only learned about this ninja tool today."

They had been staying in the base for the past few days.

Even if he came out, he would just wander around, keeping an eye on all directions. He would not have the time to pay attention to the situation in Konoha Village.

"Damn thing!"

Hearing this, Danzo's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

If it wasn't for that bastard who attacked me, how could such a thing have been spread out!
"To the Hokage's office!"

Danzo spoke coldly.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen's Anbu has already established cooperation, that's perfect. We just need to convince the Third Hokage to work together to seal off this ninja tool and suppress it.

Then this ninja tool still belongs to the root.

Thinking so, Danzo brought his people to the Hokage's office.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed that someone had pushed the door open, he immediately looked up.

When he saw that it was Danzo again, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitched violently.

Why is it Danzo again?

"Huruzen, this kind of thing must be collected immediately."

Danzo came in and threw the butterfly dart directly in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said in a deep voice: "Compared to kunai and shuriken, this kind of hidden weapon is more harmful. If left unchecked, it will pose a great threat to the village."

"Only by gathering together can we better protect the village."

"Although it is very dangerous, it is just a new type of ninja tool."

Hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, "I have arranged for the Anbu to reserve a batch. There is no need to be so nervous."

"Also, you didn't pay for the batches of ninja tools you pre-ordered in the name of the Anbu. I've already settled the bill, so this amount will be deducted from your order."

"My roots have suffered heavy losses, and you are actually still trying to withhold my resources?"

Hearing this, Danzo's expression suddenly turned ugly: "Do you know the importance of building an Anbu base?"

Originally, a large amount of resources would be needed to complete the third root base.

As a result, before I could even write a report to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen for it, Sarutobi Hiruzen had already seized it?
Then it is just a waste of time to build my own root base.

"It's not a skimp, Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head slightly and said, "You obviously got a lot of resources before, but the order you submitted doesn't match at all. Moreover, you also pre-ordered ninja tools in the name of the Anbu in the village, and it has not been settled so far. This is not okay. If this continues, what will happen if the ninja tool shop in the village closes?"

"I will not interfere with the construction of the third root base. I cannot give you the resources you want."

"After all, the situation in the village nowadays is not very prosperous. You have to understand."
