Chapter 48 Cooperation
After the second Hokage Senju learned of this, he made some changes here, added some building facilities, and placed the headquarters of the dark department here.
By the time of the third generation of Hokage Sarutobi Hizap, considering that the village had not been subjected to any irresistible invasion for so many years, and that most of the work of the Shadow Department was concentrated on the surface, Sarutobi moved out of the Shadow Department Headquarters and left this secret base for the regiment to train new members of the Dark Ministry.
Then Danzo talked about the history of the roots.
In the name of training the Dark Division, Danzo created the Root Division, and little by little absorbed the members of the Dark Division, expanding the power of the Roots.
Sarutobi realizes that he is being dug into the wall, and warns Tuan Zang about it. But he considered that the roots of Tuanzang were also contributing to Konoha, and there were so many years of friendship, so he only knocked Tuanzang and did not order the roots to disband.
Tuan Zang understood the meaning of the Ape Flying Sun Slash, and the action of absorbing the members of the Shadow Department slowed down, as if he really planned to train the Dark Department for the Ape Flying Sun Slash wholeheartedly.
But in fact, his ambition to be hidden was not extinguished for a moment, and the shadows did not let him move, so he set his sights on the potential ninjas in the village.
Those who can use power to force them to submit will be forcibly absorbed, those who have the power on their bodies will be intimidated and threatened, and those who are ambitious will be lured to heavy profits.
Tuan Zang all kinds of means came out,The power of the root is getting stronger and stronger,In order not to be suppressed by the ape Fei Ri Chop,Tuan Zang took the initiative to do the dirty work for him,Ape Fei Ri saw this and acquiesced in the existence of the rootγ
Sarutobi became the Hokage, and he had to think about his own reputation, and it was inevitable to cherish his feathers, so it became necessary to exchange interests with Danzo, after all, politics is a compromise.
Tuan Zang didn't hide anything from Lei Luo, and generously explained some key points, and Lei Luo gradually understood the distribution of power between the upper echelons of Konoha. At the same time, Lei Luo was also thinking about the purpose of Danzang and his words.
Seeing Lei Luo's thoughtful expression, Tuan Zang just smiled slightly, without the intention of explaining. The two sides walked down the corridor into a large conference room and sat down on either side of the long table.
The long-awaited negotiations have officially begun.
After Lei Luo and Tuan Zang had a verbal argument, both of them quickly understood each other's requirements.
There are five main conditions for Lei Luo to join the roots:
First of all, Tuan Zang needs to negotiate with Sarutobi Sunslash so that Lei Luo can be smoothly transferred from the shadows to the roots, and this process must not arouse the suspicion of Sarutobi Sunslash. In the days that followed, Danzou provided shelter for Lei Luo to prevent other Konoha high-level officials from making trouble.
Secondly, the group must unconditionally provide Ninjutsu resources for Lei Luo and allow Lei Luo to view the Book of Seals. And make all the preparations for Lei Luo's cultivation. For example, a separate training room, training equipment, precious medicinal materials, and advanced root ninja that can be used to practice hands.
Third, Lei Luo's position in the root should be above all the root ninjas, and he should only be dispatched by Tuan Zang.
Fourth, Tuan Zang must not be unfavorable to Lei Luo by any means or for any reason, otherwise Lei Luo has the right to fight back.
Fifth, the Roots' archives are fully open to Lei Luo, and Lei Luo has access to all the information collected by the Roots.
The above five articles are the more important links that Lei Luo can think of for the time being, and Tuan Zang only raised a little objection to the second and fifth articles.
"There are a lot of ninjutsu collected at the root, among which C-rank and B-grade ninjutsu are at your disposal. But most of the A-rank and S-rank ninjutsu are in the Book of Seals. Tuan Zang's tone was calm, explaining the reason: "Even if it's me, I need a valid reason to access the Book of Seals, and there aren't many forbidden techniques that can be copied every time. You don't need to say that you understand the value of these forbidden arts, so you have to make meritorious contributions in exchange. β
Lei Luo narrowed his eyes, and said with a hint of unkindness in his tone: "I don't think you should prevaricate me like Ape Fei Sun, right?" I have taken refuge in you for what you know. β
"I'm different from that guy in the day, and I've never been stingy with resource training for capable subordinates. But first, you have to show your ability and value, which is not something that can be summed up in one sentence. "Tuanzang sticks to the bottom line and doesn't give an inch." But don't worry, as long as you keep me satisfied, whether it's the Book of Seals or other precious resources, I won't be stingy in the slightest. β
"Many of the various ninja world secret treasures collected by the root are unimaginable."
Danzang knew very well what he was about what attracted Lei Luo, and because of this, he would never hand over all his chips at once, thus completely losing the initiative in negotiations.
Lei Luo didn't reply for a moment, he leaned back, leaned back in the chair behind him, closed his eyes and thought about the pros and cons.
If he suddenly made a move here, he was at least seventy percent sure that he would capture Tuan Zang alive, and then use the Mind Body Transmission Technique to read the memory.
But the risk of this is that Lei Luo is not sure how many forbidden techniques Tuan Zang has written, and if the number is too small, it will be completely worth the loss, which is equivalent to killing a chicken and taking eggs. Later, whether he killed Tuan Zang or let Tuan Zang go, Konoha couldn't stay any longer.
Forget it, agree to the conditions of the group.
At least the other party knows his true strength, he can't compare with the Hokage in terms of strength or power, and he doesn't dare to play tricks in front of him.
It was only a moment before Lei Luo opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze instantly focused on Tuan Zang: "Okay, meritorious service in exchange for high-level resources, I accept this condition." β
Tuan Zang breathed a sigh of relief imperceptibly, and then mentioned the fifth article: "The archives at the root involve a lot of Konoha secrets, I can allow you to access most of the intelligence materials, but there are some things that only the higher-ups can grasp." β
Lei Luo has nothing to do with this, anyway, he only proposed this article to learn about some things in the ninja world with the help of Gen's intelligence channels, and see if there are any good things worth taking by himself. Regarding Konoha's old sesame rotten grain, Lei Luo himself was not interested.
Seeing that the conditions were negotiated, Danzang began to explain to Lei Luo the duties he needed to perform.
It's basically some old-fashioned rules: for example, you can't betray Konoha, you can't betray the root, you can't reveal the root to the outside world, you can't spread the ninjutsu forbidden art, you can't disobey orders without a valid reason, and so on.
Tuan Zang didn't make any excessive requests, maybe he knew that it was useless to mention it, a ninja of the level of Lei Luo naturally had his arrogance, and now that the other party was willing to follow him, Tuan Zang was already very content.
After such a period of contact, Tuan Zang can be regarded as figuring out a little bit of Lei Luo's character: although the other party is not very old, he is extremely old-fashioned in speaking and acting, sees problems to the point, and is resolute in decision-making.
Lei Luo does not have the innocence of a young man, and all that is involved in negotiating with him is a matter of interests, what is the righteousness of the village, what is the will of fire, Lei Luo has no interest.
Tuan Zang actually didn't dislike this, after all, Lei Luo had a clear purpose and only cared about interests, which was much easier to control than those strong people with ideals.
But Lei Luo also has many shortcomings: such as a strong personality, a short temper, and a little dissatisfied when he wants to shout and kill. (When talking about the second article, Danzang is keenly aware of the malice that Lei Luo has emanated towards him)
However, on the whole, Tuan Zang was still very happy to recruit such a master so easily.
In order to get Lei Luo back to his heart as soon as possible, Tuan Zang decided to give some benefits to the other party. He pulled a scroll out of his bosom and tossed it at Lei Luo, who was sitting across from the long table.
"What is this?" Lei Luo didn't rush to open the scroll, but looked at Tuan Zang suspiciously.
Tuan Zang said casually: "The technique of multiple shadow clones." I see that your shadow clone is powerful, and if you can increase the number, it must be able to effectively improve your strength. β
"It's a bit useful...... Lei Luo pouted, this technique is actually not very useful to him, but it can also be used in cultivation. He flipped through the scroll and glanced at it, commenting in a salty and non-salty manner: "It can make me more efficient in cleaning up trash fish." β
"That's my sincerity." Tuan Zang didn't care about Lei Luo's attitude, and said to himself: "The multiple shadow clones are A-level ninjutsu, if it's a day slash, it's not so easy to take it out." β
"So, Lei Luo ......" Tuan Zang's expression rarely revealed a bit of sincerity. I wish us a happy cooperation in the future. β
Lei Luo took his gaze off the scroll and nodded slightly, "Okay, Danzang." β
