Chapter 258 Hand and Hole Cards
"Hello, Lord Qingyang. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
A hidden place in the Konoha Forest, where the roots are located.
As soon as Haruyo walked into the range here, a ninja wearing a root costume jumped out and half-knelt in front of Haruyo. Although the ninja's words were very polite, the intention to stop Qingyang from going deeper was also obvious.
This ninja is covered in robes and wears the same mask as the Shadow Ninja. From his voice, Qingyang could tell that he shouldn't be very old.
"Hehe, take it easy. I didn't come here with any ill intentions, I just wanted to come and visit Danzo-sama. Can you go and report to Danzo-sama that I'm coming?"
After saying that, the sun flashed and disappeared. The root ninja kneeling there was startled, and when he looked around to see where Haruyo had gone, Haruyo reappeared. Only this time Qingyang appeared behind him.
“!!!”
The root ninja was speechless by the uncanny speed of Haruyo, who had just disappeared in front of him, and then quietly appeared behind him, a speed that could have taken his life before he could react!
"Let's go and report it. ”
He said this softly, but there was a clear sense of command in his soft tone.
"Yes! Yes!"
The Root Ninja spun around nervously and disappeared into the middle of the dense forest with a few jumps.
Looking at the back of the ninja in the distance, Qingyang smiled. What he wants is this effect, giving this ninja a dismount, in fact, it is also a disguised dismount to Tuan Zang. He believed that this ninja would definitely report it to Tuan Zang, and he wanted Tuan Zang to understand that he had come to visit Tuan Zang out of respect, but it did not mean that he was afraid of Tuan Zang, not to mention that he had not come to ask for help this time.
Without waiting for the ninja's return, Qingyang kept walking in the direction of the root headquarters. The place where the roots are located is the densest and darkest part of the Konoha forest. It can be said to be the most primitive forest in the Konoha Forest, and it is also the only forest that is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Ninja.
Root's headquarters looks extremely unremarkable, if not undignified. It's a wooden building that looks very low, but Qingyang knows that this is just what it looks like on the surface. The true face of the roots is all in the darkness and depth of the underground.
"After the roots were reorganized, the power of the group was rightfully displayed in front of everyone, and even the right to set up an enchantment was given. ”
Qingyang muttered. You know, enchantments are actually controlled in the ninja world. Although there may be many ninjas who have mastered the ability to set up enchantments, enchantments are not allowed to be set up by ninjas without permission. Especially in the ninja village, only the most important departments that really belong to the village can set up an enchantment at the location of the headquarters.
After Qingyang arrives here, the barrier automatically opens a gap. The delegation was aware of his arrival and allowed him to enter.
Without a trace of hesitation and timidity, Qingyang calmly walked into the enchantment. Since he dared to come here alone, it shows that he is not afraid in his heart. He was confident that he would be able to walk out unharmed after stepping into Gen's headquarters.
"Click~Click~Click~"
Listen to the clicking sound of stepping on the stairs, and then look at the dark corridor in front of you. Qingyang's heart almost gave birth to the desire to vomit.
Tuan Zang and Orochimaru are really worthy of the relationship between their superiors and subordinates in the past, and their tastes are so similar. Walking in the corridor of the roots, Qingyang has the feeling that he has come to Orochimaru's stronghold. He didn't understand why Danzou and Orochimaru wanted to make their forces look like this, the only possible explanation was that both of them wanted to maintain their mysterious and terrifying image in the hearts of their subordinates in this way.
"This may be an effective way to reduce management costs, but unfortunately it is not king. After all, the people that the Hokage will lead in the future are not all spies and killers. ”
Unscrupulously belittled Tuan Zang, Qingyang finally walked through this corridor. At the end of the corridor, a ninja dressed in the same mask and robe was waiting for the sunny sun.
"Lord Qingyang, please come with me. Danzo-sama is waiting for you inside. ”
Qingyang didn't speak, just bowed his head slightly and motioned for him to lead the way ahead.
Following the root ninja through two pontoon bridges and three stairs up and down the huge underground structure, Haruhi finally came to the room where Danzo was.
The guide ninja stood silently outside the door, signaling that the group was inside.
"Crunch~"
Pulling open the door, Qingyang really saw Tuan Zang sitting inside.
The furnishings of this room are very ordinary, but unlike ordinary houses, it is built underground, and there are not many lights in this room. There were only a few candles as a light source, and under the dim candlelight, Danzo's scarred face, which had one eye covered, looked particularly hideous and terrifying.
"Lord Danzo, thank you for waiting for me here for so long. ”
Ignoring the strange and terrifying atmosphere here, Qingyang sat directly opposite Tuan Zang, greeting him with his usual expression.
"You're welcome, I heard Sakai's report yesterday. You're doing a great job this time. ”
Like an organization he had built, Danzo's tone was like that of a dark, old tree root, releasing the smell of dead wood and earth. And he did not shy away from mentioning Sakai in front of Qingyang, as if to say "everything about you is under my control".
However, Qingyang obviously would not be intimidated by Tuan Zang, he smiled and said calmly.
"That's right, Sakai is really a good person, and he has been a big help to be around me. And this crisis was able to be resolved so smoothly thanks to the help of the root ninja. ”
When Danzo heard this, he still didn't know that what Qingyang was referring to was that he had received great assistance from some of the root ninjas led by Narusuke when he was in Kas City. When he thought of this, Tuan Zang felt a lot of anger in his heart, but reason still kept him from having a seizure at this time.
"The meaningless conversation can end here, Qingyang Shangshinobi, what kind of purpose are you here for? I don't believe you came to talk to an old man like me. ”
In fact, Tuan Zang said this is just a euphemism, and he has already guessed the purpose of Qingyang's trip in his heart.
"That's why I'm here to report to you. When I was in Wang's country before, I caught one of the important people who planned the crisis of Wang's country, and this person was a close minister of the daimyo's side, according to himself, and his name was Shimura Shikai. Of course, I don't believe him at all. Imagine how a close minister of the Daimyo, who is also a member of your family, could do something harmful to the village, so I concluded that he was an impostor, and the most odious thing was that this impostor even said a lot of slanderous things about you. Of course, I didn't listen to a word. ”
When Qingyang said this, Tuan Zang was a little uncalm at that time. The already gloomy face became even more gloomy.
"What do you know?!"
Qingyang didn't have any fear of Tuanzang's questioning, and after a few breaths of silence, Qingyang actually made a big smile.
"I don't know anything, what do you think?"
