The strongest support for the fourth generation

"I won't say much nonsense, I'm here to ask for someone."

...need someone?

…

To be honest, Zhenyong had considered many possibilities, but this incident was indeed a surprise to him, but it didn't matter, his expression still didn't change at all, he just calmly crossed his hands in front of him.

"You've won the prize...then, who do you need?"

"Shizune Kato."

…

If Tsunade hadn't mentioned it, Zhenyong would have almost forgotten about this sidekick sister... Indeed, this Konoha chuunin who has always existed as Tsunade's deputy in the original work has always done his duty, but in addition to taking care of Tsunade's daily life...

Doesn't it seem to have any other effect?

Whether it is combat prowess or medical ninjutsu, it seems that they are only half-assed?

So, why is Tsunade looking for her...

Zhenyong thought for a moment, and naturally he hesitated in his answer.

"She is Duan's sister."

Ah, so that’s it…

Maybe Shinyong's thinking before was a bit too complicated - even if the Sandaime wanted to split interests with him, he would never choose such a circuitous strategy... Sarutobi was not a conspirator.

The ambition to swallow the roots whole... It can also be said that what he is doing now is just helping the next Hokage create a better foundation.

Zhenyong laughed to himself in his heart.

If this matter was Danzo's instruction, then there is a high probability that there is some big conspiracy! Did I subconsciously think too much...

"Well, I don't think this is a problem... It's just that the other party is a Konoha ninja, so wouldn't it be more appropriate for Princess Tsunade to go directly to your teacher?"

Although in fact, the current true hero definitely has the power to assign long-term missions outside the village to any chunin, but that is only secretly - as a direct disciple of the third generation, why not go directly to Sarutobi to solve this matter?

?

Zhenyong didn't believe that in the eyes of the other party, a member of his own race would be easier to talk to than Sarutobi...

"No, this time is a little special."

Tsunade shook her head helplessly.

"Kato Shizune's ninja affiliation is not among ordinary Konoha ninjas...she belongs to the root."

!?

Belonging to the root? This is absolutely impossible...

Zhenyong definitely keeps every one of his subordinates in mind... The most convincing evidence is that the talisman planted does not include anyone from the Kato family... No, wait.

It seems that there is indeed one, but the guy's name seems to be Kato Ha...

This seems to make sense...

In fact, for a huge organization like Root, it is of course impossible to have only more than a hundred elites in the headquarters - the reason why it can be called elites is because compared to them, Root has a much larger extension... They are all over the place

In every corner of his own village, he even penetrated into the enemy's village...

From a certain point of view, they are the eyes at the root, and to be on the safe side, this form of cooperation is usually one-line - even they themselves don't know that they actually belong to such a huge organization, let alone

Know who the person you contact every time is and who they are working for...

If Katoha is a combatant of the Roots, then it seems that it is not unacceptable for young Shizune to exist as an extension of the Roots.

Of course, in this case, only Zhenyong, who is the leader of the root, is the most suitable to mobilize his chess pieces.

But it seems like...a large part of the hidden secrets at the root are under the Hokage's surveillance...

"Okay, I understand."

Zhenyong's expression remains the same as ever - that formulaic smile has never changed.

"Don't worry, I will send someone to your house tomorrow."

Tsunade's arrival did not bring any new troubles to Zhenyong... On the contrary, he gave Zhenyong a warning.

Kato.

If it were the original, Zhenyu's entire impression of this surname would probably only be the dead ghost Kato Dan... But since accepting the root, some families that briefly disappeared in the original work have gradually entered his business... Just like Hatake

, just like Kato...

Compared to the Hatake clan, which still has Kakashi to support the scene, the surname Kato almost disappeared in the subsequent plots, but this family actually has thousands of connections with Konoha's largest "shareholder"-the Daimyo of the Land of Fire.

Thousands of connections…

In fact, the Kato clan was once the bodyguard of a certain daimyo from the Land of Fire during the melee in the ninja world...

And after that, when the Shodaime established the Konoha Ninja Village, the Kato clan, who were originally the guards of the Fire Nation, suddenly joined Konoha...

This is almost the most obvious tactic.

To the fire daimyo at that time, this was a chess piece inserted into Konoha.

However, it is obvious that although this chess piece has outstanding strength under the influence of the strong first and second generations, it has not played the role it should have. Today, it has almost completely become a part of Konoha...perhaps the Fire Nation

I've already given up on this ineffective chess piece...

But for Zhenyong, this is definitely a resource that can be used.

"Does 'Night Crow' have a mission now?" Night Crow is Kato Yu's code name.

"No, Lord Zhenyong..."

"Send him over immediately."

The smile on Zhenyong’s face became even brighter

"I have something to talk to him about."
