Naruto: Help Madara rejuvenate and launch a counterattack on Konoha

Chakra extraction is not difficult; Liao Wu learned it in no time.

What's rare is the ability to quickly refine chakra, turning it into an instinct during battle, like a deer seeing a woman.

Whether they are beautiful or ugly, the deer must be guaranteed to thrive under any conditions.

It takes a long time for beginners to refine their chakra, but combat is not turn-based, and enemies will wait for you to refine your chakra.

Once you can refine chakra under any conditions, you can use it efficiently to perform techniques.

Bai Banruo's teaching was very stiff. She only taught once, and then shut up and looked at the orphans with empty eyes.

While watching the orphans refine chakra, he was taking notes in his notebook.

It's like recording the orphans' spiritual practice.

The quick-thinking orphans had already calmed down and were trying to refine their chakra, while the slow-thinking ones were scratching their heads, looking as if they were doing a derivative problem.

It's really frustrating when it can't be exported!

The one who was extracted the fastest was the child wearing a black top hat, Uruxi, the oldest child in the orphanage.

In the original work, Urushi was the only ninja in the orphanage besides Kabuto and Nono. Although he was only a Chunin, his ninja talent was already considered top-notch in the orphanage.

Bai Banruo nodded when she saw that Urushi had extracted chakra first.

This guy named Urushi has ninja talent, unlike the others—

They're all a bunch of weirdos.

Talent is something that can be largely determined at birth. Your efforts after birth only guarantee the lower limit; as for the upper limit, you can only rely on your parents!

Snow Leopard and Black Ball hid underground, carefully eavesdropping on Bai Banruo's conversation with the children from the orphanage.

Hearing Hakuhanra teach the orphanage children chakra refining techniques, Kuromaru was somewhat surprised: "Brother Leopard, is Root trying to train the orphanage children to become ninjas?"

The snow leopard nodded and asked Black Ball, "Do you think this is an opportunity for them?"

"Chance?!"

Black Ball was stunned for a moment.

It is indeed an opportunity, especially for children in orphanages who have nothing.

Becoming a ninja would be their opportunity to transcend social classes.

But the Root ninjas are too cruel. Kuromaru is a dog and doesn't know anything about the important things in the village, but you can hear about Root's cruelty from Claw.

The so-called "root" person has no name and no feelings.

There is no past, no future.

With only the mission in mind, what supports the great tree of Konoha Village is the will of "roots" deeply embedded in the earth.

Root is a ruthless and cruel organization that uses any means necessary to carry out its missions.

The Root organization has the highest casualty rate among its ninjas in Konoha because it doesn't have any ninjas at all; they are just a group of ninja tools who carry out missions and carry out orders from higher-ups.

Blackball said to Snow Leopard, "I think those kids probably don't know what joining Root means. Root people forcibly train them to be killing machines."

"This is not an opportunity; once they enter the Root, they will all become killing machines."

The snow leopard nodded: "Did you notice that these orphans were paired up?"

Black Ball sniffed the air: "I can't smell it!"

"You stupid dog!"

The snow leopard slapped Black Ball and said, "My master once told me that there is an ultimate test in the Root!"

"That is to make comrades kill each other, leaving only one alive, in order to completely sever all emotions and turn them into pure tools for the mission."

Blackie was startled: "So, the initial pairings of these orphans were for the purpose of them killing each other later?"

Snow Leopard nodded: "The Root has a very thick blood mist wind, and they believe in the ninja tool theory. Absolute obedience is valued here."

"Danzo also disliked his subordinates having independent wills!"

Kuro said with disgust, "Danzo is such a scoundrel. He doesn't learn the good things from Kirigakure, but only the bad ones."

"Brother Leopard, we have to rescue these children!"

The snow leopard touched its chin.

Liao Wu sent the snow leopard to Konoha in the Land of Fire, partly to help the Konoha orphanage, and partly to fulfill Anno Noi's wish.

On the other hand, they could infiltrate Konoha, plant themselves underground, and gather intelligence about the village.

Saving the orphanage is fine, but Snow Leopard also plans to hide in Root and establish an intelligence agency underground.

The Roots are the darkest place in Konoha, and the snow leopard wants to use the darkness of the Roots to hide itself.

Snow Leopard and Black Ball continued to eavesdrop on White Prajna teaching the orphans how to refine chakra.

After listening for a while, I finally heard some useful information.

It was Urushi who was the first to complete the chakra refining training and was praised by Hakuhannya.

Urushi took this opportunity to inquire about Dou's situation.

"Teacher, I want to ask where my younger brother went? Could he have been sent to the ninja academy like the others?"

Urushi was very worried about Kabuto's situation. Kabuto had learned Nonou's medical ninjutsu at a young age and was the most talented child in their orphanage.

Over the course of their time together, Urushi had come to realize that Root was not a charitable organization, but a cruel and dark terrorist group.

Uruxi dared not question where the children who had been taken away had gone!

But since it concerned Kato, as the older brother, he couldn't continue to be cowardly.

Looking at Wuluxi's face, which still held hope, Bai Banruo thought of how he himself had once possessed such vibrant emotions.

But when you kill your companions with whom you've spent every day, you realize they're just tools of those in power, and tools can't have their own thoughts.

Forget about your pocket! Excessive emotions will only hurt you.

"But teacher—"

Uruxi wanted to press for more information, but Bai Banruo had already unleashed her killing intent.

Urushi endured the killing intent of the Root ninja with great difficulty; his heart felt as if it were being squeezed by an invisible hand.

You can't see the knife, you can't see the blood, but you can clearly feel it—death is right there on your neck, cold and painful.

I'll die, I really will die.

As Urushi collapsed to the ground, Bai Banruo revealed a piece of information to him: "Kabuto has now become Danzo's disciple. From now on, you two will be from two different worlds. Don't disturb his world."

Uruxi lay on the ground, covered in sweat. One second he was in great pain, but the next he burst into laughter.

"Thank goodness you're not dead! Thank goodness you're not dead! Did Lord Danzo take you as a disciple? That means you'll have a better chance of surviving in the future!"

Orphans are a group of people who have lost everything; for them, survival is more important than anything else.

"..."

Bai Banruo looked at Uruxi, who was smiling, without saying a word.

The snow leopard gripped Black Ball's head with its paws, thinking about Kabuto: "Kabuto?! Ryouwu told me to keep a close eye on Kabuto; that kid is Nono's adopted son."

"He's learned medical ninjutsu at such a young age; he's no ordinary person. Why would Danzo take him as a disciple?"
