The world here gave him a sense of familiar strangeness; he was just a tourist who would eventually have to leave.

Carrot fell asleep peacefully with the good news on his mind.

Early in the morning, Carrot headed out to the Mission Hall, the first place Konoha rebuilt. It was, in fact, Konoha's main source of income; how could they develop if they didn't make money, how could they expect the ninjas to earn a living? Carrot came here specifically to make money. Unlike other ninjas who accepted missions, he memorized the number of bandits in the Land of Fire. Now, it was time to start making money.

With this intelligence, Carrot knew exactly where the bandits were. The inventor, who had vanished in an instant, never imagined that Carrot would use him to make money.

The bandits of the Land of Fire suffered a devastating blow. The major bandits were wiped out by Karot, who seized their gold and silver treasures. Smaller groups fled in disarray, carrying only their buckets. From then on, a legend arose among the Konoha bandits: if they encountered a ninja dressed in red, they should immediately return to the underworld and hand over their money; this might save their lives. This event is known as the Red Sweep.

Carrot made a fortune after a hard day's work.

"Where did you get so much money?"

Kakashi looked on in surprise.

Carrot then recounted everything that had happened that day.

Kakashi was speechless with shock. To traverse the entire Land of Fire in a single day, wiping out the bandits—was this something a human could do?

That evening, Carrot treated a group of people to dinner: Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi's team, Guy's team, and Hinata. They had a lively meal, and Carrot, with his astonishing alcohol tolerance, managed to get everyone drunk, except for a few girls who escaped his clutches.

"you are leaving?"

On his way home, Kakashi asked Karot.

Yes. I'm leaving.

Hearing Karot's words, Kakashi felt a pang in his heart. He then asked...

"When?"

"tomorrow."

Then came silence; the two did not exchange another word until they entered the room.

After entering the room, Carrot immediately changed his clothes.

"Danzo, it's time for you to go."

Danzo hid during the Nine-Tails' attack, and he didn't appear during Orochimaru's destruction plan either. When Pain attacked Konoha, Danzo again played the coward, constantly claiming to protect Konoha, but repeatedly avoiding battle. Moreover, Karot is leaving tomorrow; he wants to avenge Sakumo Hatake.

"brush."

Karot disappeared into the room, and Kakashi knew as soon as Karot disappeared.

"Come back safely."

Kakashi knew where Karot was going. The place where Kakashi used to work in Root was heavily guarded, and it was filled with a group of killing machines that only obeyed Danzo's orders.

"brush."

"Give the order to closely monitor the situation at the hospital. I need to know if Tsunade has woken up yet."

"Also, I need to see the Daimyo. While I'm away from the village, you'll be in charge of the operation of the Roots."

Danzo is issuing orders within Root. With Tsunade unconscious, Jiraiya severely injured, and the Hokage position vacant, Danzo is determined to seize it. Having outlived the Third and Fourth Hokage, and with the Fifth Hokage now in a coma, Danzo doesn't mind letting him remain unconscious. He's already found a scapegoat. Then, Danzo can use the banner of avenging the Fifth Hokage to ascend to the position of Sixth Hokage.

Danzo was already fantasizing about becoming Hokage.

"Teacher, I am the one most suitable to become Hokage. You have misjudged Hiruzen."

"Hahahahaha."

After saying that, Danzo began to laugh loudly to himself.

Excuse me. Your laughter is awful.

Carrot's voice rang out; the old man's laughter was simply too grating. Even with my ears covered, he kept pushing his way in, it was unbearable.

"Who? Come out."

"Danzo said loudly. The fact that the enemy could infiltrate Root, which Danzo was so proud of, without a trace greatly angered him."

"No need to look anymore, just turn around and take a look."

Danzo turned around and saw Carrot waving at him.

"who are you?"

Danzo asked.

"Don't you already know who I am? Don't ask such stupid questions, or I'll look down on you."

Karot knew perfectly well that Danzo had been investigating his identity ever since he appeared in Konoha. Danzo possessed the ability to identify anyone within Konoha, even a single nail dropped into the ground.

"Alright then! What are you doing here, Carrot?"

Danzo made no attempt to hide his intentions, directly calling out Karot's name. Root had never ceased its investigation of Karot, sending ninjas to test him, but Karot had always managed to defeat them. Had Pain not attacked Konoha, Danzo would have personally gone to Karot's door long ago. Danzo coveted Karot's strength and wanted to recruit him. He believed that once he implanted the Tongue-Severing Seal in Karot, he could completely control him. Tsunade's coma forced Danzo to postpone this plan, as nothing could compare to his desire for the Hokage position.

"Lord Danzo, isn't this obvious?"

Carrot shrugged after he finished speaking.

“Not bad, you have good judgment to come and seek refuge with me.”

Danzo praised Karot. Danzo was blinded by the prospect of becoming Hokage. He believed that Karot already knew that he was going to become Hokage, so he hurriedly came to pledge his allegiance. After all, if he came during the day, he might be discovered by Tsunade's subordinates.

"What are you talking about? Are you stupid? Go see a doctor if you're sick!"

Carrot couldn't help but admire Danzo's thought process. "He even came to seek refuge with you? How can you be so shameless?"

"How dare you! What are you saying?"

Danzo was furious. This was the first time someone had called him a fool to his face. Danzo looked at Karot as if he were a dead man.

"Someone is coming."

Danzo finished speaking.

"Swish, swish."

A dozen or so Root ninjas knelt on one knee behind Danzo.

"Lord Danzo."

"The Root ninja shouted."

"kill him."

Danzo pointed at Karot and gave the order.

"Yes."

The Root members received the order and immediately unleashed their signature techniques, attacking Carrot.

Having worked together on missions for many years, the Root ninjas have developed a remarkable teamwork.

A ninja fired over a dozen shuriken at Carrot, who retreated several steps to avoid them. As Carrot landed...

"Shadow Imitation Technique".

The Root ninja seized the moment when Karot landed, and their shadows merged together.

Chapter 81 Facing Danzo

"A cluster of parasitic insects."

Countless parasitic insects crawled from the ground onto Karot's body. Karot looked as if he were wearing an insect's coat. Danzo's Root organization was truly full of talent, with ninjas from various clans, which showed Danzo's absolute power in Konoha. The ninja clans dared not resist and could only obediently offer up their children.

"I really overestimated you."

Danzo began to speak upon seeing that Karot was trapped. He had thought Karot could hold out longer, but it turned out to be this easy.

"What a waste."

Danzo then brought out the two men he had sent out to test Carrot and had their corpses whipped.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

A ninja from the Aburame clan shouted, the message from the parasitic insects causing the ninja to yell that the insects hadn't even touched Karot's body; they were being separated by a layer of energy. He quickly told the ninjas who wanted to seal Karot to get out of the way.

"Boom."

All the parasites were blasted away by Carrot's gas. Not even a corpse was left; they turned into wisps of smoke and dissipated into the air.

The sealing ninjas who were nearby were also killed by insect stings and fell to the ground.

"It's you? Do you know how disgusting so many bugs are?"

"Carrot roared in fury. With that, he flashed forward and charged towards the Aburame clan ninja."

It was all about speed. The Nara clan ninja even tried to use Shadow Imitation Technique to interfere with Karot's actions, but it was completely useless; they were even dragged along by Karot. This shocked the Nara clan ninja, who had actually been controlled by Karot.

"go to hell!"

Carrot's enraged punch landed directly on the Aburame clan ninja, who tried to transform into an insect to absorb the damage, but couldn't use her insect clone technique. She had to take the full force of Carrot's punch.

"puff."

Blood was streaming from his mouth, and his liver had been completely shattered by Carrot. Even if Tsunade came, she couldn't save him.

"call."

Carrot breathed a sigh of relief.

"It seems my cultivation is still lacking; I can't be so short-tempered. This is very wrong, very wrong."
