It is said that if you want to destroy a person, you should first hold him up and hold him very high.

When it reaches its peak, it is thrown away, and in the end, whoever it is, is very comfortable accepting this extreme gap between prosperity and decline.

At this time, Konoha is undergoing a typical transformation from prosperity to decline.

Sheren wandered in the Land of Iron for three days, worked as a wandering swordsman for three days, and dealt with an unknown number of samurai.

In the past three days, I did not use chakra, and I was completely integrated into the profession of samurai.

Although it hasn't been for a long time, it can be regarded as a little bit of the feeling of being a flag tree.

In the three-day competition, each has a victory or defeat, but occasionally loses one or two games, winning or losing regardless of life and death, so the impact is not great, but from the battle of others, I have experienced more sword skills, so as to improve myself to a certain extent.

After three days as a wandering swordsman, he finally found the famous blacksmith recommended by Danzo.

Originally, the other party didn't forge much, but maybe he owed Tuan Zang a favor, and promised to help the Sheren forge a short knife, but the materials needed to be paid separately.

As for money, the man who made a windfall from the Minister of Finance of the Land of Water did not care much about it, but he also thought about the small metal balls he found in the secret compartment of the Minister of Finance of the Land of Water, and asked the blacksmith about the origin of the metals.

It is known that these are actually the prototypes of chakra conductive metals, and after being polished and refined by a special process, they can become precious chakra conductive metals.

Coupled with his original broken short knife, plus the very hard short knife obtained from the root, and the precious metal owned by the blacksmith himself, all kinds of high-quality things were fused, and it took three days to finally forge a knife that met the requirements of the sheren.

A short knife that can withstand his strength now, and will be able to withstand his increased strength in the future.

Not only that, because this knife is infused with a large amount of chakra conductive metal, so that this knife has a stronger ability to accept chakra.

For this reason, the Sheren also worked hard to give the knife a very loud name.

Round Dance One Glitter II Type!

It's just that as soon as he said the name, he was rejected by the blacksmith, and despite the objections of the people and the constant emphasis, he finally named it the Round Dancing Blade.

The first two words of the name were used.

Although he was a little dissatisfied with the forging master at the beginning, after all, the future master was a sheren, and he still had to use the two words of his name to show respect.

The reason for these two words is because the moment the Sheren held the knife, he pulled out the short knife from his waist and slashed horizontally in front of him, revealing a semicircular arc blade, because the speed of swinging the knife was fast enough, and the particularity of this knife, this arc-shaped light blade actually lasted for a second.

It's like cutting a round blade out of your chest, so it's called Round Dance.

Finally, after a matter of heart, Sheren took the knife and immediately left the Iron Country and rushed towards Konoha.

Although it is said that he should return to Konoha immediately after the mission is completed, but for the sake of the knife, I believe it should also make sense.

Moreover, Sheto also used a psychic snake to tell Orochimaru about his situation, believing that Orochimaru would inform the people of Konoha about his situation.

Back to Konoha.

When he appeared at the entrance of the village, seven days had passed since the end of the mission.

However, when the guards guarding the gate of Konoha looked at the people who came back slowly, the expressions on their faces were a little wrong.

It seems that they are all surprised, and even slightly frightened, for the appearance of the Sheren.

That.. See the face of a dead man?

"I said... Did you see a ghost? She asked angrily.

Hearing his voice, the two guarding the door glanced at each other, only to be sure that this was a real person and not a ghost.

"Sheren Shangnin, are you okay?" One of them asked.

"Huh?"

Hearing this, his brows furrowed, and he felt a hint of something unusual, "What? Should I be okay? ”

"No, no, no... It's just that... I heard that Elder Tuanzang has assigned you a task? ”

Sheren was stunned, although he came back this time to go through the main door, but it was because he found that the secret door belonging to the root did not seem to be open, and out of helplessness, he had to go to the main gate.

But even so, the task of the root should not be known by others, why would the ninja guarding the gate know that it was Danzang who issued the task to him?

And, both from the expressions and words of these people, it can be seen that they think that something has happened to them.

But... Didn't you tell Orochimaru in advance?

The heart of the reluctant person who noticed the abnormality tightened, and a bad premonition hit his heart.

"I'll go to Hokage-sama first!"

As he spoke, without further hesitation, a dodge disappeared into the doorway.

Rush straight towards the Hokage building.

When crossing some of the commercial streets in Konoha, it was obvious that there was something wrong with these people on the shopping streets, and they were gathering in twos and threes to discuss something.

If it's just one or two, it's normal, but it seems that the people on the street are like this, and the people feel that something is not right.

Subconsciously pick up the pace again.

It's just that when he just crossed the high street.

His brow furrowed.

With his right hand, he grabbed the round dance blade on his waist and pulled it out instantly!

Boom!

A crisp metal crash sounded, and a small shiny tip fell to the ground.

Looking at it, it was five ninjas wearing masks and dark clothes, and the knife in the hand of the first one was very neatly broken, and the tip of the knife that fell to the ground belonged to him.

With masks, I can't see their appearance and expressions clearly, but Sheren recognizes them at a glance, it's not the dark ninja, but the root!

The leader looked through the hole in his mask and looked at the broken knife in his hand, and could clearly see the surprise in his eyes.

However, the five of them were unmoved, but only vaguely surrounded the people, looking vigilant.

"Sacrifice people to forbearance, Lord Tuanzang is invited." The man at the head said in a deep voice.

Sato's eyes narrowed, and he didn't return the knife in his hand to the scabbard, and said lightly, "What if I said that I was going to report to Hokage-sama first?" ”

A moment of silence.

The other party continued: "Lord Danzang! Please! ”

At the same time, the other four people also had kunai in their hands, and they looked like they would come hard if they didn't agree with them.

The frowning brow slowly relaxed, and the round dance blade spun around in his hand, leaving a small circle like a bright moon and sending it back to its scabbard.

"Whew—let's go."

After receiving an affirmative answer, the five of them did not let down their guard and "escorted" him towards the root base.

Coming to the dim base of the roots again, it can be clearly felt that the chakra fluctuations in the roots are much less.

The ninjas of the root were sent out in large numbers.

"Danzo-sama."

Looking at the familiar, dressed in a white robe and holding a cane, Shimura Danzo.

Hearing the call, Tuan Zang slowly turned around, scanned the Sheren from top to bottom, and paused for a moment on the short knife at his waist.

"Looks like your new weapon is good." Danzang's slightly deep voice wanted to sound.

"Thanks to the help of Lord Danzo." Sheren replied unhurriedly.

As for the attitude of the sheren, Tuan Zang seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and he was not surprised or angry.

A faint smile appeared on Tuan Zang's somewhat old and slightly wrinkled face.

"I've heard about it, and I've heard that you guys have completed this extremely difficult task under the guard of the Han of Yanyin Village." After speaking, he continued with a slight groan: "It's just a pity that except for you, the other three people all died because of this mission.

They are all great, and in order to make the towering tree of Konoha grow better, they regard themselves as nutrients.

This is the root ninja, and this is the true role of the root. ”

Sato pursed his lips, he was not surprised by the death of the other three root ninjas.

At that time, the rock ninja in the Daimyo Mansion of Tian no Kuni, even if there were not a hundred people, at least seventy or eighty, even if most of them were lower ninjas and middle ninjas, only a small part of the upper ninjas, and dozens of ninjas, the three of Chi Luan knew the end of their death the moment they shot, but they still did it in order to complete the task.

Danzo said that they are the roots of Konoha and dedicate themselves to Konoha, which is not wrong.

It's just that Sheren dares to guarantee that Tuanzang should know about the situation of Tian Zhiguo before letting them do this task.

There are so many rock ninjas, many of them are Shangninja, and there is even a powerful five-tailed pillar force of Han, what is the difference between just sending the four of them and sending them to death?

"Do you think that letting you do this task is the same as sending you to death?" As if he had seen through the thoughts in the minds of the people, Tuan Zang said bluntly.

His eyes froze.

He wanted to hear what special explanation Tuan Zang had for this.

Noticing that Sheren was indeed paying attention to this matter, Danzang's wrinkled smile became more and more ugly.

"Actually, from the very beginning, your mission was only to assassinate the heir who was about to become the daimyo of Tanokuni, because he was the one who colluded with Iwakuin Village.

As for the ninjas of Iwain Village who were present, they were not originally within the scope of your mission, and even if they really wanted to collide with the ninjas of Iwain Village, it was only a small part, and that powerful five-tailed man Zhu Lihan was not what you needed to deal with. ”

"Huh?"

She Ren remembered that at the beginning of the mission, Chi Luan said that the five-tailed man Zhu Lihan would have strong people to deal with, and they didn't need to worry.

It's just that even if he waited until the last moment, the strong man in Chi Luan's mouth did not appear.

If it weren't for their good adaptability and their success in assassinating that person at the last minute, I'm afraid that the current Land Country would have become an ally of the Earth Country.

Not only that, the Fire Country will lose a large amount of financial revenue, a loyal little brother, in exchange for an opponent in the north of Konoha who may launch a sneak attack at any time in the future, if a war breaks out, it will be necessary to arrange a part of the troops on the border of the country of Tano.

This back and forth is a huge loss, a huge loss to the entire Fire Country, the entire Konoha .

The most important thing is that the unknown powerhouse does not appear, and the person who faces the five-tailed man Zhu Lihan becomes him, leaving him with a huge crisis.

It was only by forcibly opening the fifth gate of the Eight Gates Dunjia Dumen that he could barely resist the Han in a normal state, but then he directly turned into a half-tailed beast, and the tailed beast jade with extremely terrifying destructive power was still fresh in his memory.

If you don't have a little hole card, and there is a backhand guarantee like Jiaodu, I'm afraid it's really troublesome, and you may not be able to get rid of Han's pursuit.

If you really want to force him, completely tail the beast, that's a big deal.

Therefore, Sheren didn't have a good impression of the unknown strong man at all, and he didn't even mind beating him up if conditions permitted.

If you want to count, the death of the three of Chi Luan has a lot to do with him.

Seeing the disgust in the depths of Sheren's eyes, and even a little bit of killing intent, Tuan Zang was satisfied with his current change in mentality.

"Aren't you curious, who is the mysterious powerhouse that should have appeared?"

The Sheren was silent and did not answer.

However, this time, Tuan Zang directly said the answer.

"Qimu Shuomao! Konoha White Fang! ”

Hearing this name, Sheren's pupils subconsciously contracted suddenly.

Although there was a trace of speculation in his heart, when Tuan Zang said it, Sheren was still a little surprised.

He has been paying attention to the possible White Fang incident in the future, thinking about how to face it if he has the opportunity, or how to save him.

After all, for Konoha, especially the current Konoha, White Fang's identity is indeed very special, not only in terms of deterrence against other countries, but also in the identity he represents in Konoha at the moment, the Hokage candidate!

It's just that when something happened to him and he became a victim, he was more or less difficult to let go.

To put it mildly, if it weren't for his own strength being strong enough, if White Fang didn't appear this time, his name would be more on Konoha's death list.

Danzo continued: "You've been in Konoha for so long, whether it's the Hizap or the roots, you've had a lot of contact, and I think with your ability, you should understand the way I get along with the Hinata and understand the role of the roots on the entire Konoha.

The root, its main role, is to deal with everything, what Konoha can't do on the surface, such as this time to attack the next daimyo of Tian no Kuni, who is still a nominal ally.

These things are things that the three generations of Hokage, who are 'light and mighty', can't do, this is the responsibility of the roots, you can think that this is not above board, but you can't deny that there are always some people who deal with such so-called 'dirty things', and it's all for Konoha! ”

This is the intention of the root itself at the beginning of its birth, and it is only with the gradual expansion of Danzang's ambition that the root slowly becomes tasteless.

"So, this assassination is our root mission, and as the Hokage, send someone to help us clear the obstacles, remove the threat of Han, and attract the attention of most of the Iwa Shinobi, your task will be much easier.

The difficulty is still there, but it's no longer a deadly mission. ”

After listening to Tuan Zang's words, Sheren couldn't help but take a deep breath and spit out a long breath.

"So... He still didn't show up in the end because...? ”

"Because? Because they were ambushed on their way to Tanokuni, and although none of them were any match for Hachiki Sagegeru, some of his companions on the mission were seriously injured and would have died if they had not been treated in time.

So Hagi Sakushige finally chose to send the ninja back to Konoha and the timely treatment saved his life, but when he arrived at the Tanokuni Daimyo Mansion the next day...

It's a mess, but I learned about the details of the time from some people, and even the bodies of the three of Chiluan were not found, and of course your body was not found.

At the same time, he also saw the huge traces of terror in the forest outside of the field. ”

Sheren was silent again, if everything was really as Danzang said, then... Qimu Shuomao's choice, from the perspective of the people, is a kind of harm to him.

To Sakushige's companions, he is a lifesaver, but from the perspective of the people, he is the culprit who has put himself in crisis.

Originally, I thought that if I had the chance, I would see if there was any way to save Qimu Shuomao, but when Tuan Zang said this, I was a little panicked.

"Then why, from someone else's mouth, it seems..."

"Looks like you're dead too, aren't you?"

Sheren nodded, obviously he had told Orochimaru in advance, but Orochimaru didn't seem to say anything.

Tuan Zang looked at Sheren with his meaningful eyes, and said slowly: "Sheren, in my opinion, you are a smart person like your teacher, Orochimaru, and have the same unique insights and vision.

I'm sure you've also observed the situation here after entering Konoha, who do you think is the most beneficial for this to happen? ”

Who is it most beneficial for?

On the surface, it must be the most beneficial for Orochimaru.

So, Orochimaru didn't tell him that he was still alive?

The death of a person's pillar force is definitely something that no hidden village can accept, and it is also a perfect human pillar force!

In order to increase the pressure on Hachiki Shuomao, so even the fact that he is still alive has been suppressed?

No, Orochimaru wouldn't be so stupid.

It is impossible to do such a thing that is obviously detrimental to himself, because as long as he returns smoothly, it will become useless.

Even if it's seven days late.

And... The biggest beneficiary is not Orochimaru! Even if it seems that he is the beneficiary...

"Am I coming back late? Seven days of fermentation is enough to crush a person's will and completely push a person to the cusp of public opinion? ”

As a participant, if you think about it carefully, you can actually see a lot of things from it, but it takes a while to take a good look at it, because there are too many big guys involved

Danzou wanted to say something more, but a figure appeared beside him.

"Danzo-sama, Hokage-sama's shadow ninja is waiting outside, let the Sato Kami shinobi pass."

Tuan Zang nodded, and didn't hold back, "Ri Slash is looking for you, you are a smart person, you should know what to do." ”

It wasn't until after Sato had left that the root ninja continued, "Hokage-sama brought a word, and he said, 'That's enough.'" ”

Hearing this, Tuan Zang's expression was stunned, and the look in his eyes flowed.

Muttered, "Is it enough?" Day Slash... You still take it for granted. ”

Immediately afterwards, he said in a deep voice to the root ninja next to him: "The time is almost there, and those who should speak up should also speak up!" ”

"Yes!" The root ninja's voice fell, and he disappeared again.
