Starting from the root of Konoha, he was the mastermind behind the scenes

Chapter 6: Changes in the Roots (Seeking follow-up recommendation votes and monthly votes)

Spreading out the scroll, Xing Xiaxiu glanced over it quickly.

The content of the scroll is very rich, not only the order of seals, but also many techniques and detailed explanations of the techniques.

These detailed explanations were probably left by Hashirama Senju himself and copied by Danzo in their entirety.

The techniques are also very rich, ranging from conventional ninjutsu such as Wood Ingot Wall, Wood Clone, and Diamond Calling Wood, to Tree World Descent, Wood Dragon Technique, and even True Thousand Hands.

However, Xingxia Xiu felt a little sorry about Yamato's Four Pillars family technique.

After all, this is an essential skill for going on missions and camping in the wild.

"My main training from now on will be wind escape and wood escape."

Xingxia Xiu did not give up wind escape just because he mastered wood escape.

He knew very well that his Wood Release might be stronger than Yamato's, but it was far inferior to Hashirama Senju. It was impossible to rely solely on Wood Release at the moment.

I have already mastered the Wind Style and have a solid foundation.

What's more, without considering the unreliable status bar cheat code, Xingxia Xiu felt that if he wanted to go further and master more changes in nature, trying to integrate and practice bloodline limits might be the only right way.

As for crooked paths and evil paths.

Of course, it’s to dig out eyes, grab power banks, grab the Ten Tails, and grab Otsutsuki.

……

Collecting his thoughts, Xingxia Xiu carefully read the Wood Release scroll from the beginning.

It’s still the technique of Wooden Ingot Wall. The annotations next to it are very detailed and more popular than Danzo’s explanation. Danzo’s previous explanation seemed to be a summary, simplifying it and leaving only the most core content.

But Xingxia Xiu liked the annotations left by Senju Hashirama, although they seemed a bit too much nonsense.

After reading it several times, Xing Xia Xiu put away the scroll and slowly formed seals.

Wood escape-Wooden spindle wall!
Xingxia Xiu finally clasped his hands together and injected Wood Release chakra into the ground. Then, in front of him, curved pieces of wood rose from the ground and formed an arch wall.

This form is exactly the same as the wooden wall used in the actual battle between Yamato and Xingxia Xiu in his memory.

However, on the basis of being able to cast spells, Xingxia Xiu strengthened his control over chakra, thus making changes in his form.

Looking at the curved arch wall in front of him, Xingxia Xiu suddenly thought of Kakashi's earthen wall with a carved dog head.

How about making your own unique one?
Carving a dragon seems to be more impressive.

"And it can also train your chakra control...try it after you become proficient in ninjutsu."

Xingxia Xiu muttered to himself, and then continued his practice.

Afterwards, he tried the arch-bridge-shaped wooden wall and the four-wall-shaped wooden wall to deepen his proficiency and control over this technique.

With such practice, his speed in performing the Wood Ingot Wall Technique became faster and faster, constantly approaching the fastest speed of his own seal-making skills.

at the same time.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Danzo confronted Sarutobi Hiruzen and expressed his desire to expand the Root.

"Root expansion?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered for a moment.

Recently, there have been undercurrents in the ninja world and the pressure on the Anbu has increased greatly. He originally wanted to expand the power of the Anbu.

However, now that the Konoha regime is stable, his position is unshakable, and he can indeed make further use of his good friend Danzo.

At that time, one inside and one outside, it can greatly reduce the pressure on Konoha and also reduce his pressure.

Danzo saw what Sarutobi Hiruzen was thinking and immediately said, "The great tree of Konoha is bathed in sunlight, and darkness inevitably grows. The roots are the guardians hidden in the darkness, an existence even darker than the Anbu."

"Huruzen, you protect the village in the sunlight, and I will protect the village in the darkness."

"The Root will be a sharp sword hidden in the darkness, protecting Konoha and eliminating all enemies, including those within Konoha!"

Danzo had this idea before, but it was still vague. However, after being reminded by Hoshita Hide, it suddenly became clear and he determined his position in Konoha.

Light and dark?
Sarutobi Hiruzen pondered secretly, his mind working at high speed, weighing the pros and cons.

Danzo continued, "Huruzen, now that Konoha has completely stabilized, we also need to eliminate some of the internal cancers."

"Now that all the major ninja villages are expanding their armies, I'm afraid war will break out sooner or later."

"We must clear out the internal situation now so that we can fully respond to the changes in the ninja world."

"Just leave these things to me!" This is a frank statement.

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately said: "I allow you to expand your roots, but I absolutely do not allow you to target your companions."

Danzo said solemnly: "The Root protects Konoha and only targets enemies of Konoha. Anyone who is an enemy of the village should be eliminated."

Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded: "If that's the case, then let's do it!"

"In case of emergency, there is no need to report it in advance."

A smile appeared in Danzo's eyes: "Huruzen, as long as we cooperate with each other, no one can harm Konoha!"

……

Time flies, and Xingxiaxiu spent the whole morning practicing the art of wooden ingot wall.

After lunch, he returned to his room in the Root Base and continued practicing the Rasengan.

Practicing the Rasengan was much more difficult than Xingxia Xiu had expected.

Of course, he had Naruto's training experience as a reference, so the difficulty had been greatly reduced, such as through cooperation through shadow clones.

But Xingxia Xiu's purpose was not only to master this ninjutsu, but also to train his chakra control, so he did not take any shortcuts.

Rolling a ball with one hand is cool, just like driving a Ferrari with one hand.

The afternoon passed quickly.

Putting down the balloon that still didn't burst, Xingxiaxiu stood up and stretched.

Ninjutsu training was too boring, so he planned to go shopping in the streets of Konoha.

However, just as Xingxia Xiu was about to put on makeup, there was a knock on the door.

When I opened the door, I saw Nakamura wearing a mask.

"A, there's a mission!"

After Nakamura finished speaking, he disappeared.

"You're asking me to carry out my mission so soon..."

Xingxiaxiu was secretly surprised, but he moved quickly, changed his clothes and put on a ghost face mask.

After a while.

Xingxia Xiu arrived at the gathering place and found that there were already four people standing in front of Danzo.

In addition, there are more than a dozen ninjas wearing the same attire as the Root, but with a significantly different temperament.

Newbie?

Xing Xiaxiu took a quick glance, then looked away and joined the group.

Danzo's face was expressionless as he spoke, "The Sandaime has approved the expansion of the Root. It will no longer be just a training institution for the Anbu. It will carry out missions just like the Anbu, protecting Konoha from the shadows."

Xing Xiaxiu was shocked when he heard this.

Danzo was really fast and he managed to deal with Sarutobi Hiruzen so quickly.

What a good friend!
"However, the expansion of the roots may also play into Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands."

Xingxiaxiu speculated secretly.

At this time, Danzo said: "From now on, A, the five of you will become the team leaders."

"Ten, list!"

Daichi Shimura, who was following Danzo, immediately took out a list and began to announce it.

Sarutobi Atsushi, codenamed Sarutobi.

Inuzuka Ryo, codenamed Santou.

Aburame Hiichi, codenamed Fei Mushi.

Soon Xingxia Xiu heard the names and code names of the three members under his command.

He was very curious whether these people were sent here by Danzo himself to temporarily strengthen the power of the Root, or whether they were sent in by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

But it doesn't seem to matter.

For Danzo, they are all consumables!
