Chapter 19: The Root Collection

"Kakashi! long time no see!"

The short-haired middle-aged man known as Danzou smiled slightly and greeted Kakashi. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Brush!"

Two figures appeared one after another, standing behind Danzang, who were the two shadow ninjas from before.

“。 ”

Kakashi watched silently, the corners of his eyes twitched slightly, the shadows were the shadow troops that belonged directly to the contemporary Hokage, and now, this man had infiltrated so much power in the shadows.

That's not good news!

Kakashi pondered in his heart.

"Kakashi, how did you think about my invitation!"

Danzou ignored Kakashi's silence, then narrowed his eyes slightly, and smiled faintly.

"I'm sorry, Danzo-sama! I can only apologize for your kindness! I belong to the village, and I only obey the orders of the fourth Hokage-sama!

Kakashi said lightly, not paying the slightest attention to the cold and unkind gazes of the two dark ninjas behind the group.

"Well, what a pity, I've always admired you!"

There was a look of disappointment on Danzang's face, but he relaxed in an instant, remembered the purpose of his trip, and immediately shifted his gaze to look around at the stunned Tokugawa family.

"Are you the Tokugawa clan!? I visited the nobles on behalf of the Konoha Elder Order, hoping it didn't bother you!"

Tuan Zang said with a smile, a strange look flashing in his eyes.

Konoha Elders!

Hiss!

In the ring, almost all the clan elders couldn't help but gasp, they were different from ordinary Tokugawa people, they knew more about Konoha's cognition, the Konoha Elder Group was subordinate to an independent power organization, and sometimes they could even influence the will of the Hokage, and most of the people who could become elders were respected and powerful ninjas in the village, and they belonged to the real high-level figures of Konoha Ninja Village.

At this time, this man named Danzang was able to come here on behalf of the Konoha Elder Group, which proved from another aspect that even in the Konoha Elder Sect was the top type of person!

In the ten-year selection competition, the elders of Konoha actually appeared in person, which was really a matter of great honor for the Tokugawa people.

"Well, Danzo-sama, you are very welcome to visit, and the Tokugawa clan is very lucky!"

Tokugawa Jinyasu forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and respectfully bowed to the courtesy.

And a kind of sect elder behind him also greeted him with an impassioned and eager expression.

At this time, seeing the actions of the family governor and the sect elder, the ordinary clansmen in the audience looked at the three of Tuan Zang with shocked eyes, and the faint discussion continued.

。。

For all this, Kakashi has been watching from the sidelines, silently calm, but there is a faint doubt lingering in his heart.

He knew the identity of the group very well, and even some things that the Konoha ninja didn't know, he knew part of it from his teacher, the fourth generation Hokage.

The power on the surface of Konoha belongs to the contemporary Hokage, but hidden in the shadows, there is still an unknown and powerful force, and the creator of this power is the man in front of him, Danzo!

And the name of that power is - root!

Like the leaves of a tree that lives in the sun, the existence of the root has always existed in darkness and shadow, and it has never easily appeared in front of the public.

And at this moment, the leader of the roots, the man who is second only to the Hokage in the upper echelons of Konoha will inexplicably appear in this small town in the remote north!?

Among them. Is something happening!?

Unconsciously, Kakashi's gaze swept slightly at a silent companion behind him.

He is also a member of the roots.

Don't..

Thinking like this, the left eye under the mask slowly turned, revealing a little coldness.

At this time, in the ring, Tuan Zang still maintained an indifferent look, and his respect for the Tokugawa clan did not change in the slightest.

Instead, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the young man who stopped because he was blocked from getting there, Tokugawa Shuto.

There was a faint smile in his eyes, and he said, "Kakashi's judgment is very accurate, but it is not absolute!"

“。。 ”

Tokugawa Shuren's body trembled, and he suddenly raised his head to look at the figure in front of him, his figure was not tall, but at this moment, Tokugawa Shuto felt as majestic as a mountain peak.

"You have something on you that I admire, how about it, would you like to follow me to Konoha!"

Danzo's faint voice was like a thunderbolt that exploded in Tokugawa Shuto's mind, and he looked at the other party incredulously.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of Tokugawa Yasushi and Tokugawa Mudo, or the disappointment of his father and a trace of resentment in his heart, Tokugawa Shuren's thinking changed at the moment of failure, and the ideal of becoming the Tokugawa family's family governor gradually dissipated in his heart at this moment.

He longs for power, for the destruction of everything. Strength!

At this moment, the words that Danzou leaned over and spoke sounded softly in his ears like the temptation of a demon.

"Follow me, and you will grow beyond everyone else, even now, to dominate this small family!"

"If I want to destroy, in just a moment, this city will turn to dust!"

"No one can stop you!"

Strength. Destroy. Dominate.

Lingering in his psyche reverberates.

"Hmph, hmph!"

Tokugawa Shuto, who had his head down, suddenly laughed low, his shoulders shaking, his expression flushed, and there was a hint of resentment in his eyes.

"Bang!"

In the midst of everyone's surprised gaze, Tokugawa Shuto suddenly threw away the long knife tied to his waist, knelt in front of Danzo, and fell deeply.

"Please take it in!"

He said in a low and slow voice.

At this moment, except for a few people in Tuanzang, almost everyone looked at the young man in shock, puzzled by his sudden move.

Only Kakashi's gaze narrowed.

"Huh!"

Danzou smiled slowly, reached out and helped Tokugawa Shuto up, then looked in Kakashi's direction and said, "I'm sorry, Kakashi, your mission is over here!"

"What do you mean!"

Kakashi frowned tightly, puzzled.

"Brush!"

A scroll suddenly appeared in Danzo's hand, he slowly opened it, and read: "Hokage's order, Kakashi, end the judgment mission, and within three days, you must rush to the Land of Mist Shadow to rescue our ninja who is controlled by the enemy!" ”

Speaking of this, Tuan Zang showed a faint smile, "It's Yuan Ye Lin!"

"What!?Lynn!"

Kakashi, who looked calm, suddenly tensed up, his eyes instantly fell silent, and his left eye under the mask instantly spun, exuding an abyss-like aura of destruction.

"Isn't Lynn in the village!? How can it be controlled by the Mist Hidden Ninja!"

"This. It's not within my reach!"

Danzang showed a sneer and slowly closed his eyes.

"Humph!"

Kakashi's eyes condensed slightly, and he felt resentment in his heart, but this was not the time to think about this matter, thinking of the promise he made to his best friend who had died, his body flashed, and his body rushed into the air at a rapid pace.

"The eleventh squad of the dark detachment, immediately carry out the rescue mission!"

"Yes!"

The two shadow ninjas let out a low snort, and then turned into two phantoms, following Kakashi.

But no one saw it, and one of the shadows dropped a paper ball in mid-air.

"Brush!"

Silently, a shadow ninja behind the group's hiding place caught the falling paper ball and slowly opened it.

"What's the matter!"

Tuan Zang opened his eyes, revealing a little cold light.

"A person in the Tokugawa clan who is suspected of being a vortex has the power of a special bloodstain and can use the power of a thousand metal books!"

"Oh!?, but it's a windfall, the Uzumaki Clan. Metal. Excellent!"

Danzang showed a faint smile and slowly turned his head to look at the ring, his eyes locked on Tokugawa Jinyasu's body.

"Tokugawa family master, as a guest, I have a request!"
