Chapter 29: The Purpose of the Root

Just after Tsunade and Erha left, two figures appeared on the scene.

Unlike the costumes of the Grim Reapers, they wore a triangular cloth tied around their waists, embroidered with the word "fire".

It is a member of the Guardian Ninja Twelve.

A man and a woman, the man is called Meteor, and the woman is called Juna Izawa.

Looking at the entire bulldozed forest, the two couldn't help but apply for sluggishness.

After a long time, Juna Izawa muttered incredulously:

"What the hell is going on here?"

Large-scale destruction ninjutsu, not for no one to use.

But that kind of ninjutsu often requires the consumption of a huge amount of chakra.

Even ninjas who are qualified to perform that kind of ninjutsu will use it after careful consideration on the battlefield.

On the other hand, multiple ninjas working together can cause large-scale destruction.

"Is there a medium-sized war here?"

Meteor looked at a shattered corpse beside him, his brow furrowed.

In his impression, it would be difficult to create such an effect of changing the terrain without hundreds of people working together to use large-scale ninjutsu.

It's not that there isn't, it's just that the ninjas who have this power can be counted in the ninja world.

Juna Izawa shook her head and denied:

"It's not far from Konoha here, and there are hundreds of ninjas haunting it, it's impossible for them not to notice it, and haven't you noticed? Although these corpses were badly destroyed, they all had a common characteristic, which was clearly the Death Cult that attacked us...... That's right, they were wiped out! ”

After being reminded by Juncai, Meteor also realized the problem, he looked around, and said shockingly:

"And it's very likely that it was wiped out by one person...... Could it be that Konoha was the acting Hokage who took action personally? ”

No wonder he has such speculation.

Although there were not many of the Grim Reapers, there were two of them who were extremely difficult to deal with.

A rampage of physical ninja.

A woman who seems to be able to foresee all attacks.

It was these two people who forced them, as the guardian ninja twelve, to focus on protecting the daimyo, and as a result, the daimyo's son was taken captive in the chaos.

"I can't rule out this possibility, but our goal now is to find His Highness."

Soon, the two found the depressed Yuan Yixiu in the forest not far from the scene.

The meteor saw Yuan Yixiu, and was overjoyed:

"Your Highness, it's great that you're okay."

Yuan Yixiu came back to his senses and saw the two of them, but he scolded:

"How can it be okay? I was terrified! What did my dad pay for you for? I didn't even know I was taken captive! Bah! What a broken ninja, and say that you are an elite, you can just go and be a doorman! ”

Hearing this, Juna Izawa frowned slightly, and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by a meteor.

Still smiling, Meteor said like a child:

"It's our dereliction of duty that we failed to protect Your Highness, but can Your Highness tell your subordinates what happened here?"

The whole grove was razed to the ground as far as the eye could see.

The corpses left on the ground also tell of the fierce battle that took place not long ago.

……

A few kilometers away from the scene of the incident, a large team is being reorganized.

Medical personnel are constantly treating the wounded, including the Konoha ninja.

The second generation of Hokage Thousand Hands was also at the scene.

Compared to six years ago, Senjuma is older, and the wrinkles on his face are clearly visible.

Beside him is the young and strong Shimura Danzo.

It's different from the ape flying sunslash who became the acting Hokage.

Six years ago, in a whim, Shimura Danzou finally resigned from the Shadow Guard and joined the newly created "Root" organization of Senjukuma.

This organization and the Shadow Department are both covert mobile units, but unlike the Shadow Division, which is directly subordinate to the Hokage, the "root" directly bypasses the Hokage and is directly led by Senju Kakuma.

Therefore, "roots" are not really in the formal sector, and few people know about them.

At this time, Senju was crouching on the ground, carefully examining a corpse.

"This is supposed to be a puppeteer in disguise, but unlike puppetry, which relies on chakra line control, the caster controls the living sacrifice of his own will. Because it is a body controlled by the will of the caster, it not only obtains part of the caster's power, but also can bypass the body's self-protection mechanism and exert extraordinary power, but because of this, even if the chakra of itself is exhausted, the person who is a 'puppet' does not know it. ”

"There is no doubt that this is an extremely vicious forbidden technique."

Shimura Danzo recorded the analysis of the Thousand Hands, and suddenly asked:

"Lord Nidaime, aren't these Death God Cults claiming to want to build a world that belongs to ninjas?"

"What do you want to ask?" A thousand hands glanced at Shimura Danzo.

Shimura hesitated for a moment, plucked up the courage to ask:

"I don't understand, why do they use such despicable means, aren't there a lot of innocent people who are hurt by this?"

"Despicable?"

Senju stood up, glanced deeply at Shimura Danzo, and said slowly:

"They are said to call this a 'necessary evil.'"

"So why are we tracking them? Just because the Grim Reapers, it's very likely that they are related to the Six Realms of Death? ”

For the concept of the Grim Reaper, Shimura Danzo still knows a little bit.

Because of this, he felt that it was not good to build a world that belonged to ninjas.

Even if the process may be a little painful.

But where in this world is the happiness of not experiencing suffering?

A thousand hands took a deep look at the Shimura Danzo.

Shimura Danzo is not his student, but he is also an extremely good ninja.

Since six years ago, he has been with him for longer than his students.

Therefore, for the thoughts in Shimura Danzo's heart, it is clear between the thousand hands.

After pondering for a moment, Qianshu asked rhetorically:

"Danzo, do you know the purpose of my founding of the Root?"

"Isn't it to find the six grim reapers?"

A look of disappointment flashed in his eyes as he explained:

"To be precise, looking for the six Grim Reapers, it's just a means to an end."

At this point, he paused, and then spoke in a declarative tone:

"Twenty years ago, the establishment of Konoha Hidden Village represented the end of the Warring States Period, but most people don't know that the establishment of Konoha was not all smooth sailing, and it was not as simple as two ninja clans shaking hands and making peace. In fact, after the news of the establishment of the ninja village spread, it was immediately met with a backlash from the feudal aristocracy, and even the vast majority of ninjas were not optimistic about this form. ”

"Danzo, do you know why Konoha was still established when the vast majority of people were against it?"

Shimura Danzo looked thoughtful.

He really didn't think about it.

Because when he joined Konoha, Konoha was already standing tall in the ninja world.

It's an impeccable giant.

But now that I think about it, the reason is obvious.

"It was the strength of the first generation and that man that created today's Konoha."

Qianshou bowed slightly, and said calmly:

"And the existence of the six gods of death is the biggest variable in the ninja world today."

Hearing this, Shimura Danzo suddenly realized.

The Six Grim Reapers, with the power to promote the transformation of the ninja world, are all on the back of the major ninja villages.

You must know that the so-called change often represents the redistribution of interests.

In other words, whoever has the power to change will be able to create a new world.

Just like the Senju Pillar and Uchiha Madara in modern times.

Moreover, the power shown by the Six Realms of Death can even be transformed more thoroughly.

Maybe it can be comparable to the Six Dao Immortals to establish the Ninja Sect!

Shimura wanted to ask something.

But the Daimyo of the Land of Fire Enzhou had already walked over surrounded by four guardian ninja twelve.
