Chapter 14 The Root of Konoha

The ninja world has very dirty politics, or perhaps politics is the art of conspiracy. Uehara made a guess. He put himself in the shoes of Konoha ninjas and thought about how to reach a common enemy with the Wind Country, which has deep grievances.

His method was to make a covenant with Konoha White Fang, just like the Suna Ninja betrayed the Burning Release Leaf Cura in the future. Without the fighting ability, it is unlikely that Konoha White Fang will continue to be a ninja in the future. His head should be very valuable, and the value is great enough to make him a ninja.

The die-hard sand ninjas also agreed to form an alliance.

The Fire Country is a prosperous place. The most fertile and fertile places in the ninja world are all within the Fire Country. It occupies the largest population, the most arable land, and the potential for war is terrifying. If the poor sand ninjas in neighboring countries lose once, they will be in trouble for a long time.

Time loses the military power to compete with the big powers, and Konoha cannot be defeated no matter how much it is spent. In addition to the powerful ninja families, national power is also an important hidden strength.

When he was young, he was a serious and demanding ninja. He would not touch tobacco leaves that would damage his lungs.

But it's different now. As a shadow, using various means to weaken opponents before the war occurs is more important than strengthening one's own strength. And using undisguised wisdom to eliminate the many conflicts between families requires a sufficiently tactful mind.

Means and fickle methods.

The complicated work, never taking a moment's rest, and the need for things like tobacco leaves to refresh one's mind.

He kept adding golden tobacco to the pipe, and his lung capacity was large enough. In his prime, Sarutobi could smoke out a pipe of tobacco in just ten breaths. The closed space in the basement was already filled with smoke that was so rich that it choked people.

"I told you before, Sarutobi," there were no lights in the room, and there was only a small candle on the table. At this time, Danzo was also young, and it seemed that his cold expression had never changed, and there was still a smile on his chin.

Those two forked scars. As a former companion, facing the Third Hokage, he questioned Sarutobi mercilessly, "As I said before, the powerful Uzumaki clan cannot escape the control of the village, or they must move in.

Village, or..."

We are so familiar with each other that we can understand each other's meaning without even finishing some words.

"Um..." Sarutobi said nothing and then no sound came out.

"But our intelligence is that the Uzumaki Village was destroyed by a ninja flying from the sky. You know this, Sarutobi!" As he said that, Danzo looked very angry, and he punched the table, "Even if

If it is to be destroyed, it should be done by us Konoha ninjas..."

"Who is the enemy?" Sarutobi's tone was still calm, but no emotion could be heard.

"Flying ninjas..." Danzo frowned and thought, "I think you also know how powerful the Uzumaki clan is. If there are two ninjas, they will not be able to break the Uzumaki Village's barrier defense."

"It must be a large-scale ninja force," Danzo said with certainty, "Our target is the Kong Ninja Village."

"Is that so?" Sarutobi seemed to have expected it, "The ninja village that developed unique ninja tools, their ninjas have never stepped out of the Land of Sky."

"The roots you formed seem to have strong intelligence capabilities," Sarutobi pointed out. He finished smoking his tobacco again. He went to take out his tobacco bag, only to find that it was empty. "Flying ninjas are very troublesome. You are very subordinate."

Is there any targeted intelligence?”

"You don't need to go there yourself," Sarutobi smoked too many cigarettes and the smell in the basement was too unpleasant. Danzo frowned and wanted to end the conversation quickly, "I am a wind release ninja. I will handle this situation.

It’s more appropriate to deal with it.”

There was another long silence, Sarutobi's tobacco was gone, and Danzo was speechless.

"Something similar to the Uzumaki clan..." After a long time, Danzo still couldn't help but blame Sarutobi.

"Behind Konoha's ninja uniform is the emblem of the Uzumaki clan. This is a friendship that has existed for a long time." Sarutobi's expression became solemn, "The Uzumaki clan does not want to participate in the disputes in the ninja world. This wish is the first and second generation.

The Hokage agreed."

"It's just that, after getting used to a life without killing, the Uzumaki clan seems to have forgotten how to fight." Sarutobi sighed a little, "By the way, the orphan of the Uzumaki clan was rescued by ANBU ninjas."

He seemed to have said it unintentionally, and Sarutobi mentioned it casually, "Jinchuriki is an indispensable fighting force. Danzo, if you have a more suitable jinchuriki, you don't have to spend time looking for it, right?"

Danzo's expression was abnormal for a moment, and then calmed down again. All this completely fell into Sarutobi's eyes. He observed very carefully, and put aside so many things to deal with to waste time with Danzo.

Need to verify some things.

This was a very boring conversation, one didn't want to say anything and the other had nothing to say.

"Little Jiraiya and the others have been in the Earth Country for twenty-four days." Danzo leaned back against the backrest to make himself sit in a more comfortable position, "They sent all the troops back to the village, haha, three

A very courageous guy.”

"Yes, since they got the name of Sannin, they are no longer ordinary." Thinking of the three students with different characteristics but all extremely talented, Sarutobi showed a happy smile on his lips, "If they grow up

, maybe, they are qualified for the position of Kage, well, they are talented, strong enough, and care about their companions... This is very similar to the second-generation Kage-sama. If the second-generation Kage did not choose to go back to intercept Kumo Ninja and Danzo, we might not be there.

Here it is.”

Danzo laughed twice, but he didn't listen to a word of the rest of the words. He only listened to the first two sentences. When the Sannin grows up, will they be the shadow of the next generation...

As we all know in the original work, Danzo and Sarutobi have been lifelong enemies. Sarutobi was given the position of Hokage by Sarutobi, and Danzo has always been bitter about it.

It's easy to talk to death if you don't talk to each other. After another silence for a while, Danzo spoke again, "The development of Gen and the results achieved are beyond my expectations." A thick pile of materials was rolled up

Zang took it out from the drawer and threw it on the table in front of Sarutobi, "Earth Country is the place mainly responsible for infiltration. There are thirteen ninja families and ninety-six intelligence officers, a total of more than four hundred people. This is where

The results achieved by the Kingdom of Earth.”

"My method is right, Sarutobi." As if asking for credit, but more like showing off or demonstrating strength, Danzo looked very proud and flicked his fingers on the table a few times, "No one is perfect.

There will always be weaknesses, and this is also the breakthrough point for most intelligence work. Similarly, to prevent our own ninjas from being corrupted by the enemy, it is necessary to strengthen the development of confinement techniques..."

"So, you added a technique under your subordinate's tongue?" Sarutobi sneered, "Where did you get the technique? The second generation has never taught you this technique."

"As for jutsu," Danzo laughed out loud, which was inconsistent with the low tone of the conversation, "If you, Sarutobi, want to include this jutsu in the ninjutsu scroll, I can teach you. You will always learn ninjutsu very quickly."

Regardless of whether Sarutobi planned to learn or not, Danzo quickly started to form seals with his hands. After doing more than a dozen seals, he only demonstrated it once and had no intention of demonstrating it a second time.

"Gen's combat strength is insufficient. If you remove the elite ninjas from each family, they will be able to play their greatest role. Sarutobi, you know enough about Gen's work in the Land of Earth." To mobilize family ninjas,

This requires the Hokage's consent, which is what Danzo is unhappy about.

"It's a good idea to remove the ninjas from each family. The abilities of each family will complement each other and form a stronger fighting force." Sarutobi seemed to be moved, "However, you reminded me that the ANBU's fighting force is also insufficient.

Under the protection of the ANBU team, the seriously injured and recuperating Shimo was attacked by the enemy and almost lost his life. Therefore, it became necessary to strengthen the strength of the ANBU. Each family selects the best young ninja to join the ANBU, tentatively... two."

The conflict of words was hidden, and Sarutobi was in a low mood. Through various observations, his guess was correct.

"To defeat the Rock Ninja, you don't need to join forces with the Sand Ninja." Sarutobi looked at Danzo for a while with an unyielding gaze, and then he stood up to leave.

As he stood up, there was a constant thumping sound as he finally landed and fell.

Wearing windbreakers and masks different from the ANBU, these elite ninjas called "Gen" fainted to the ground one after another.

"How did you do it?" Danzo suddenly laughed, "Is there any poison in your cigarette?"

"No." Sarutobi smiled and shook his head. He stretched out his finger and drew a very standard circle in the air, and the thick smoke was swayed into a circular ripple.

"This is an illusion that relies on smoke."

"So, Sarutobi." Danzo weighed a kunai twice, and he had plans to fight.

"Now, I feel that you, who have neglected fighting, will not be my opponent!"

There was no fighting, just like when they were training with the Second Hokage as genin, Sarutobi and Danzo only relied on their taijutsu to compete for a while, feeling quite unfinished.

"Huh, cough, you can stop." Sarutobi panted a little, "Duanzo, is your arm okay? The landing point of your kunai has become closer again."

"It's okay." Looking at the torn sleeves, Danzo was a little dumbfounded. He still lost. "On the other hand, you, Sarutobi, better not touch things like tobacco. You're a little angry."

On the way out, Danzo gave Sarutobi a gift.

"By the way, how long has it been since the last time we competed together, Danzo." Stopping, Sarutobi suddenly asked Danzo something.

Danzo was stunned for a moment, "..., seven years."

Sarutobi and Danzo were walking opposite each other. The two big shots had never had any playful sparring since today. It was a game that had been played by two equally talented ninjas since their genin days. The sun was shining brightly at that time.

At that time, the sky was clear and cloudless, and two young men who liked each other met by chance in the newly built Konoha Village. Perhaps they were incompatible with each other. After they glared at each other, they started fighting, and no one could hold them back. The scene can be roughly described as this-

What are you looking at me for?

What do you think of you?

Then there is no more...

In the end, the two people, bruised and swollen, agreed to fight again the next day, but the outcome was still undecided on the second day, and they met again on the third and fourth days...

In this way, they finally became companions. Among the six students of the Second Hokage, they were the two with the strongest talent and the closest relationship.

In the end, one of them became the fire in the light, and the other gradually turned into the sunshine and the darkness under the leaves.

The hero of Konoha, White Fang, was assassinated inexplicably. White Fang was fine. Even though he was missing a leg and an arm, he still suddenly collapsed and crushed the ninja who assassinated him to death with one hand. When White Fang was assassinated,

The villagers talked a lot and made various guesses. The ones they guessed most were the enemies, rock ninjas, sand ninjas, or other ninjas.

But there is not a single voice that doubts their own village. This is a frighteningly united village.

Sarutobi rejected all documents regarding the formation of the Roots, but Danzo openly called the Roots the Roots.

The next day, Danzo led most of the Shimura clan to clear out the Kong Ninja Village. Most of the Shimura clan were wind escapers, so they were perfect for dealing with the flying Sky Ninjas.

"Sir Third Generation," an ANBU quietly appeared in the Kage office, "there are not many people left behind at the Shimura Clan's station, but all the people from the root base are here."

He kept transferring the tea cups on the table, and the ceramic cup made a squeaking sound against the glass table. All members of the ANBU were waiting for orders, but Sarutobi didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't issue any orders for a long time.
