In an underground base in an unknown corner of Konoha.

In the dark and dark environment, several ninjas wearing masks and power suits defend a ninja.

I saw that the ninja's face had a complicated expression, and he looked at the old man standing in front of him, wearing a white robe and holding a cane, which was none other than the root leader Danzang.

"I'm sure you've made the right choice, right? Cooperation with me is a win-win situation. ”

The ninja, pursing his lips tightly, could tell from his eyes that his heart was struggling frantically, but feeling the power around him, and the identity of the person in front of him, the submission in his eyes became more and more obvious.

At this moment, a ninja appeared again, whispering something in Danzo's ear.

"You go back first, my promise to you will never change."

Several root ninjas who were guarding him sent the ninja back.

A minute later, the Sheren appeared.

"Lord Tuanzang, are you looking for me?" The sheren spoke.

As his strength increased again and again, his fear of Tuan Zang has also weakened again and again, until now, he can even look at him directly.

She Ren remembered very well that the mark of the root cause of the tongue on his tongue came from the man in front of him, although the other party gave him a lot of benefits, but he knew very well that what the other party needed was the identity of the other person's pillar force, or simply the two tails in his body.

If it weren't for the fact that he was weak enough and showed that he could achieve complete control over the two tails, it is estimated that when he first appeared in Konoha, the two tails in his body would have been stripped by the strong star.

Now he doesn't say that he can fight against Tuanzang and the roots of Tuanzang, but at least he has a certain amount of resistance.

Self-confidence sometimes comes from strength, even if it's just the strength of the dough.

Accustomed to groveling, Tuan Zang also saw the changes in the house, but he just smiled and didn't take it to heart.

Many ninjas, even eighteen or ninety percent ninjas, can be completely mastered by using some means and let them use them for their own use.

But there are always some ninjas who are more determined, and they have their own goals in mind, and these people can not be mastered through some small means.

There are also such ninjas in the roots, such as Yakushi Nonoyu, who is regarded as the best intelligence collector and is known as the "walking shrine maiden", and this person also has a great subjective consciousness in his heart.

But not obediently for his use?

It's because Tuan Zang has pinched the point in her heart.

As Ape Fei grew old, Danzou felt that his opportunity was coming.

"I heard that you have been successfully promoted to Shangnin? There is a lot of commotion in the land of water. Tuan Zang's squinted eyes slowly opened, looking at the Sheren who was almost about the same height as him.

It was not surprising that the Danzo would know what was happening in the Land of Water.

The strength of Tuanzang's roots and his intelligence network are definitely beyond the understanding of many people.

"Thanks to the adults, I got the task done." Sheren nodded.

"It's good, it's good to be a shinobi." Danzang praised without hesitation.

Shecai received the identity certificate of Shangnin from Sarutobi Hichicho, and was called here by Danzang, which shows that his eyeliner is now everywhere in the entire Konoha area.

"I don't know what Danzo-sama commands?"

"There's a task for you to do."

As he spoke, Tuan Zang took out a scroll from his bosom and handed it to Sheren.

After a little hesitation, he took the scroll.

"You will participate in this mission as a root ninja, and there will be a root ninja to take you on a mission, and all you need to do is complete what he has assigned to you.

This scroll can be opened and viewed when you complete the mission. ”

Without waiting for an answer, Danzang continued, "I heard that your knife was damaged? ”

Hearing this, the corners of people's eyes jumped.

It wasn't surprising to him that Danzou knew what he and Watergate were doing in the Land of Water, completing the mission, and the damage they had caused during their escape.

But the fact that his knife was broken has never been revealed to anyone.

How did Danzo know?

"The knife will be broken, just because the forging raw materials of this knife are not good enough, a knife that can be taken out for Yun Yin Shinobi to use, even if it can conduct chakra, how good will it be?

Successfully complete the task here, and I can provide you with the conditions to go back to the furnace to forge again. ”

Tuan Zang held one hand behind his back, clubbing his cane, full of confidence.

He knew that Sheren's knife was broken, and now that he had a lot of attack methods, many of his attack methods came from the combination of physical skills and knife skills, not to mention how much impact it would have on his combat effectiveness, at least his own combat habits had been greatly affected.

I have to admit that the reward promised by Tuan Zang made him a little moved.

Moreover, even if you become a shinobi now, it's not the time to be able to compete head-on with Danzang.

"Yes, the mission will be completed!"

Hearing the answer, Danzo smiled with satisfaction.

"Chi Luan, he is a member of your mission, you can teach him some basic knowledge one day."

As the words fell, a figure appeared in the room.

With a white mask in the shape of a bird, he came to the side of the housekeeper and said lightly, "Let's go." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left directly, and the Sheren glanced at Tuan Zang, and followed the man named Chi Luan out of the dim room.

There are many similarities between the root and the dark part, but they are independent of the dark part and only obey the orders of the group.

However, compared to the mysterious and decisive dark ninja in the eyes of others, Sheren feels that the root ninja who lives more like a tool is more like a ninja, and it is more worthy of the profession of ninja, this title.

There is no excessive emotion, only the task in the eyes, even like a machine.

It may seem inhumane, but this is a ninja.

Chi Luan didn't say a word the whole time, just silently led the Sheren to walk through the corridors under the roots.

Come to a room in the depths.

"This is your root costume and the props that may be used in this mission, as well as some basic weapons, give you five minutes to change, and take you to meet the people who also participated in this mission, and explain the situation of the mission and the content of each person."

Chi Luan said a lot at once, and his tone was flat, and Sheren even felt that this was probably the most he said during this time.

"Okay." The sheren took the things.

"By the way, the root is called and acted by a code name, you need to think of a code name that belongs to you."

With that, Chi Luan turned around and left the room.

Looking at the black suit in his hand, a white cat mask, and a short knife in the sheath.

"I don't know why, just thinking about wearing a black suit and wearing a mask to do tasks makes me feel excited."

Maybe that's the kind of feeling that you have to wear a mask to be a hero, right?

Quickly change into gear and put on your mask.

Looking at the short knife in his hand with some hesitation, he had to say that although it was not the chakra conduction weapon he liked to use, it was not bad in terms of quality alone, and it was definitely worth a lot of money.

"Forget it, it's better to use something than not to use it."

Talking to himself, he pinned the short knife to his waist.

Pushing open the room and walking out, he saw Chi Luan waiting for him outside leaning against the wall.

When he saw the Sheren coming out, he didn't say much, but just walked in the other direction.

When he pushed open a room again, it was much larger than the room he had just changed from, and there were two more people sitting in it.

Seeing Chi Luan walking in with a newcomer he didn't know, he immediately stood up from his position.

"Captain."

The two shouted calmly, not hearing any mood swings, and calling the captain seemed to be just a routine.

Chi Luan didn't care about this.

"In the next task, Lord Tuan Zang pointed out that he should participate in it, and they all came to introduce themselves and learn about each other's abilities." Chi Luan said.

One of the ninjas wearing a fox mask spoke directly: "Night fox, a reconnaissance ninja, is mainly responsible for collecting and analyzing mission intelligence, and is responsible for perception during battle. ”

The other person wore a dog-like mask, "Maned Dog, good at frontal combat, specializing in fire escape ninjutsu, mainly responsible for frontal combat." ”

The rest is that Chi Luan, who is the captain, has not introduced himself yet.

"Chi Luan, the captain and commander of this mission, is responsible for flank containment and control, this mission, all actions are subject to my command and orders."

After speaking, the three of them looked at the newcomer through their masks.

"Stygian cat, good at it... Good at medical ninjutsu and a certain amount of physical and knife skills, as for what you are responsible for, it depends on your arrangement. ”

It's a pity that the code name is only two words, otherwise the name she thinks she has chosen should make them all express envy and jealousy.

It's just that they don't care what the code name of the Sheren is.

Codename, just cheese for convenience, that's all.

There is no fixed squad at the root, and each time you do a mission, you will be assigned a different teammate to perform a different task.

It's just that the ninjas at the root are like machines, even if they don't know each other, they won't have any problems cooperating.

"Tomorrow's mission is like this..."

Chi Luan explained to them the places that need to be paid attention to and paid attention to in this mission, as well as the key points of the mission.

However, the details of the mission were not stated, but they were told that each of them had their own part of the responsibility, and the content was recorded in the scroll.

The spin is about to distribute the scrolls to them.

"Assemble here tomorrow night, and don't leave the base at the root today." Chi Luan said again.

"Huh? Can't leave the roots? She was stunned.

The Night Fox and the Maned Dog don't care, and many missions will inhabit the base at the root on the eve of the mission announcement in order to ensure secrecy.

"There are a lot of training grounds in the roots, and there is also a private library, if you are interested, you can check it out.

Now follow me, there are some basic root skills to hand over to you, I hope you can master them in such a short time. ”

After Chi Luan finished speaking to the sheren, he turned around and left directly.

After Chiluan left, the night fox and the maned dog also left, without a word of greeting.

It's not a little human.

Sheren suspected that if the task of Tuanzang was for them to get rid of their companions, it was estimated that they would not hesitate to carry it out.

There was no way, he was given a death order, and she could only leave with Chi Luan and go to the root training ground.

The roots, like the dark part, have a lot of special skills, and these skills are generally not learned by ordinary ninjas, because whether it is the root or the dark part, the complexity of the tasks they are exposed to is far from being comparable to other ninjas.

So they need to master some very special skills.

Come to the training ground.

In the wide and somewhat gloomy training ground, there were only the two of them at this time.

"One of the special skills that a root ninja needs to master, hold your breath." Chi Luan began to teach her people some special techniques.

Breath-holding, of course, is not an ordinary breath-holding, two or three minutes of breath-holding is not difficult at all, and Chi Luan teaches a breath-holding technique of up to twenty or thirty minutes, which can work wonders in some special environments.

"The second, fake animation."

The so-called suspended animation is not just lying on the ground and pretending to be dead and holding your breath, the most important thing is the beating of the heart.

This suspended animation is a method of temporarily stopping the beating of the heart, which is not an easy method and requires a long period of exercise to master.

After all, if the heart stops beating, the blood circulation in the body also stops, and if the various organs of the body want to stay active, this is the key in this technique.

It's okay to hold your breath, as long as you get the hang of it, maybe it will start to show results in a few days.

But this heart stops beating, which is not so easy to grasp.

Chi Luan talked about all these skills in one go, obviously it was just a routine, and he didn't think that Sheren could master these skills in just one day.

Root ninjas are likely to use these techniques whether they are lurking, tracking, watching, or ambushing.

There are many perceptual ninjas in the ninja world, and they are also very powerful, and the flow of breath when breathing, even if you hold your breath, the sound of your heart beating will become the reason for the exposure of traces in the ears of some people or animals who are very sensitive to hearing.

However, Chi Luan miscalculated.

This technique of stopping the heart is indeed very difficult to master, but he doesn't know that as a professional doctor, he has his own skills in this aspect, and it may not be possible to make the heart stop beating completely, but he can reduce the frequency and amplitude of the beating to the limit.

"The third point, acupuncture points."

Everyone has a large number of acupuncture points all over the body, and most people only use these acupuncture points in the process of running chakra, and they only understand this part of the relevant acupuncture points.

However, whether it is a root ninja or a shadow ninja, it is necessary to clearly grasp and understand the acupuncture points on a person's body in order to achieve the most accurate, fast and effective assassination.

Root ninjas are killing machines, and they know how to kill a person with the most precision and speed.

"Fourth, cross-dressing."

Not only the changes in clothing and appearance, but also the inside, such as imitating a person's voice, learning a person's movements and habits, and so on.

This is a skill that really needs to be learned for a long time, even if a person is highly talented, it will definitely take a long time to learn.

After telling these things and leaving some scrolls of learning skills, he left the training room directly, leaving Sheren alone.

"It's really routine, it's not reliable at all.

Sure enough, it doesn't matter, people teach you some skills, it's just for show. ”

She Ren looked at the departing Chi Luan and couldn't help but complain.

However, what Chi Luan definitely didn't expect was that among the four skills he described, there would be more or less a little bit of sacrifice.

As a medical ninja studying medicine, he knows all the acupuncture points of the human body.

As for cross-dressing, it seems that Orochimaru's technique of eliminating face is quite advanced.

"Before I know it, I've mastered so many skills, and it seems that I'm really slowly getting closer to the real 'ninja'."

She couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

"Let's do as the locals do."

As he spoke, he picked up the scroll on the ground and looked at it.

...

...

It's still the dimly lit room of Danzang, and this time someone is coming again.

Wrapped under a pitch-black hood.

However, you can still vaguely see the white skin under the black hood, and the raised corners of the mouth that show exaggerated magnitude.

"You're here." Tuan Zang said lightly.

The person who came pulled down the hood on his head, revealing the face that was very familiar to the Sheren, who was none other than his cheap teacher, Orochimaru.

At this time, Orochimaru, nominally speaking, was still attached to the roots, and was a direct subordinate of Tuan Zang, and he could be regarded as having a good position in the roots.

Orochimaru had joined the root a long time ago, which Sarutobi had acquiesced to from the beginning.

The root is also known as the "dark training department", at the beginning of its establishment, it was a department that sent talents to the dark department, and where Orochimaru joined the root, it was also to prepare for entering the dark department, who knew that after entering the root, it would not be so easy to leave again.

Although it is said that with Orochimaru's current character and strength, as long as he is unwilling, even Tuanzang can't force him, and now he has a relatively clear understanding of the true purpose and role of Tuanzang and the roots.

It's not so much that the current Orochimaru is a subordinate of Tuan Zang, but that the two are now in a cooperative relationship, but nominally Orochimaru is subordinate to the root, and he now has his own direct troops, which is recognized by Ape Fei Ri Slash, and it can be regarded as some benefits won in order to pave the way for him.

When Tuan Zang saw Orochimaru, he immediately thought of his disciple Sheren.

I have to say that the two really have a lot of similarities as masters and apprentices.

Whether it's Orochimaru or Sheren, they all have a strong egoism, and they can't be bound by simple brainwashing.

The only thing that can make them excited may be the interests they are interested in.

And both of them have a soft spot for art, no matter what kind of art, as long as they don't have it, they haven't touched it, they will be moved.

For people with such a character as them, Tuan Zang also sees it very clearly, instead of firmly grasping it, it is better to use interests and benefits to lure them little by little.

People like Yakushi Nonoyu are two extremes.

"It's the technique you've always wanted."

As he spoke, Danzou threw out an old scroll to Orochimaru.

A snake quickly shot out of his sleeve and bit the scroll before slowly sending it to Orochimaru's hand.

Looking at the words written on the scroll, Orochimaru showed an excited look.

Immediately afterward, he quickly converged, and with his understanding of Tuan Zang, if he wanted to get something, he had to give something, which was their way of cooperation.
