Chapter 21: An Invitation from the Roots

At dusk the next day, the three of them walked down the long street.

"I completed 7 D-level tasks in one day, and each person earned 3,800 taels, which is amazing, worthy of being brought to earth." Lin excitedly handed a handful of silver tickets to Obito, "I didn't expect those grandmothers to be so enthusiastic, it seems that Obito used to skip class to help grandma." ”

Kakashi rarely didn't say anything this time, but looked at Obito with a strange gaze.

"Now, tomorrow is the rest day, why don't I invite everyone to eat barbecue tonight." Bo Feng Shuimen suddenly jumped down in front of the three of them, revealing a warm smile.

"Teacher Watergate, weren't you still shopping with Jiu Sinai's seniors just now?" Lin looked surprised, "Now Senior Jiu Xinai is still waiting for you to eat at home." ”

Watergate's face turned red, "That...... Well, we haven't lived together yet. ”

"Why? I heard that a long time ago, Kushina's predecessor was your girlfriend. ”

Watergate smiled embarrassedly, "I just bought a small house, and the loan hasn't been paid off yet." ”

"Hey, with the strength of Mr. Watergate, he has completed so many tasks, do you need a loan to buy a house?" Obito said with a look of surprise.

Shuimen reached out and rubbed his hair, "The teacher is not like you, he has a house left by his father, and he has to earn every brick and tile by performing tasks on his own." ”

"Jiu Sinai's predecessor is also a shinobi, why doesn't she go on a mission?" Lin asked subconsciously.

"It's different, Lin, how can a man's words bear to let his beloved girl go out and work hard." Seeing that Shuimen was embarrassed, Obito immediately replied first.

"Hey, Obito knows a lot, teacher, I really don't want Jiu Sinai to carry out those dangerous tasks."

"Let's go, let's go directly to the barbecue restaurant, next time, I guess it's going to the teacher's house for dinner."

"Teacher's house? Will the senior of Kushina cook himself? ”

"Kushina, ah......" Bo Feng Shuimen thought of the dark food when he had just moved, and his heart palpitated and dripped a drop of cold sweat.

——

After a fragrant barbecue, Obito walked across the wooden bridge and saw Orochimaru by the river.

"Orochimaru-sama, are you waiting for me here?"

"Obito, I heard that you are in the water gate class now."

"Yes, does Orochimaru-sama know Mizumon-sensei too?"

"Speaking of which, Watergate has to call me a teacher. I've taught him ninjutsu before. ”

"Oh." Obito followed Orochimaru all the way to the outside of the Uchiha clan's station, he looked at the garrison of the light-lit Shan Shan, "Obito, in fact, there are not many ninjas in this world like your teacher Bo Feng Shuimen, and there are ninjas like Hachiki Shuomao who are not from big families and have no blood inheritance limit, and can work hard to cultivate to their level." ”

"Okay, Obito, let's go here today, and when you take a break, come to me again."

"Yes."

Orochimaru took two steps forward and suddenly stopped, "By the way, my hut is in the forest. ”

"Hmm."

Obito walked back to the house in a daze, "It seems that Orochimaru is really a bit enthusiastic about my Uchiha clan's writing wheels." ”

"But I haven't used the Sharingan to the outside world yet, and even Kakashi and Rin don't know why Orochimaru is targeting me."

Outside the Uchiha clan's residence, Orochimaru had just walked to the edge of the forest when his steps stopped.

"It's Tuan Zang who told you to follow me." Orochimaru glanced at the two root ninjas who came out from behind the tree, and his eyes were a little evil.

"Orochimaru-sama, we just discovered you during our routine vigilance, don't get me wrong."

"The Uchiha clan, there is no conflict with the village at the moment." Orochimaru said with a sigh.

"Last month, the garrison had more than a dozen clashes with the village's residents when dealing with stalls along the street, and now there are people being held in the prison next to the garrison. Later, after they were punished, they were released by the three generations of Hokage-sama. However, there seem to be some people in the garrison who are very dissatisfied with this. ”

"Got it, you go back and tell Lord Tuanzang that my research here will take some time."

"But Danzo-sama's illness ......"

Orochimaru stretched out his slender tongue and licked the corners of his mouth, "Do you need to say it a second time?" ”

"Yes." The two ninjas' hearts trembled, and they didn't dare to look directly into Orochimaru's gaze, and each performed an instantaneous technique and disappeared in place.

Orochimaru walked into the dark forest with his feet raised, the ground under his feet gradually became wet, and his shadow was like a long snake, and his steps in the forest were also zigzag.

"Whew", when he landed in front of a tree house in the woods, and stopped on the trunk of the tree to look at the village in the distance, his mind had drifted far away.

"The intercolumnar cells transplanted by Danzou are starting to be capricious, and I need a new experiment, and the Uchiha Obito ...... He needs to be taught some new ninjutsu first, and then he will feel angry and open the Sharingan. ”

On a roof a few kilometers away, when the ninja of the root returned to the roof, Danzo, who was holding a cane, also appeared with a blue face.

"Danzo-sama, Orochimaru replied that his research will take some time."

"What else is it going to take?" Tuan Zang's eyes were cold, "It seems that this guy is treating me as his experiment, but I haven't found an eye that fits my right eye in the second ninja war, we still need him, otherwise ......"

"Lord Tuanzang, Orochimaru has completed another S-class mission this time, and I'm worried that it will be difficult for our people to control him at that time."

"Wasn't he in contact with that imp Uchiha Obito just now? Then I'm going to meet that little imp of Uchiha Obito now. ”

"Danzo-sama wants this little imp to join our roots?"

Danzang's eyes were long, "Why did you want him to join the roots?" Wouldn't it be better for him to stay with the proud disciples and proud disciples of Hirishan, of course, if he is willing to be our internal response. ”

At night, Danzo quietly infiltrated the Uchiha clan's residence.

The moment he turned over and fell through the window into the room with dirt, in front of a hut seven or eight hundred meters away, a garrison member of the upper shinobi whispered something to the window.

"Got it, let's go down first."

"Yes."

Uchiha Fugaku is obviously a little anxious, his father's condition has been treated by many Konoha medical shinobi, but it has not improved, if it continues to deteriorate like this, he may have to take over the position of patriarch in advance.

In the Konoha Forest, Orochimaru's arm holding the reagent shook slightly, and a small white snake crawled out of his neckline, carefully rubbing in his ear.

"Has our Konoha shadow found Obito? Okay, I got it. Orochimaru lowered his head, fused the two reagents, reached out and shook the blue liquid in the test tube, his eyes gradually became a little cold.

"Sure enough, are you still on guard against me? Danzo. ”

At the same time, a kunai suddenly shot out of the dark room, and with a "bang" sound, it plunged directly into the wooden board by the window.

"Who." Obito saw a dark shadow dodging in the night, and when he turned on the light, he stood in a corner with a guarded face holding the kunai in one hand.

"Don't be nervous, Obito, I'm Shimura Danzo, the high-level of Konoha." Tuan Zang sat down beside Obito's bed and looked at the neatly arranged comics and furniture in Obito's room, "It's quite pitiful to live alone at home, and the village should have more compassion for war orphans like you." ”

"Pensions are paid every month until adulthood. I don't know what is the important matter for Lord Tuanzang to come to my house so late? Obito put down the kunai that was erected on his chest, and his face was still a little defensive.

"I've witnessed your performance in the lower ninja exam, with your strength, even some middle ninja who have performed many high-level tasks may not be able to beat you, I think it's too much of a pity to let you perform those trivial tasks in the village, why don't you come to my roots."

Obito's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "The roots, is it the same organization as the dark part?" ”

"Well, the dark part is directly commanded by the three generations of Hokage-sama, and the root part is under my orders, the difference is that the dark part generally wears a mask to perform tasks on the bright side, and my root, even if you die, no one will find out what your identity is."

"You, do you want to do something for Konoha?"

Obito's heart sank, if he was an uninformed shinobi and didn't understand the details of the guy in front of him, I'm afraid he would probably be deceived by him.

It's a pity that I'm the lucky one who has read the manga repeatedly.

"I'm sorry, Danzo-sama, I'm just a shinobi with limited abilities. And I have to follow Mizuto-sensei on missions during the day, and I have to go to Orochimaru-sama to learn ninjutsu in my free time. ”

"It's okay, as long as you want, I can directly accept you into the roots, and it won't affect your current life."

"Is there anything I need to do about that?" Obito asked again.

"Of course, if you encounter a task that our roots can't solve, you, as a member of the roots, also need to help."

Obito hesitated for a moment and shook his head slightly, "I'm sorry, Danzo-sama, if I were a genius ninja like Kakashi, I would have agreed to your request and join the roots." I'm weak now, and if I want to improve my strength, I have to practice hard, and I really don't have time to pay attention to the root things. ”

"Going out to the village, carrying out tasks, and practicing in the midst of killing, this is the best way to practice for ninjas." Tuan Zang walked to the window, "Obito, you can come to me after you think about it, the door of the root will always be open for you." With that, he cast a teleportation spell and disappeared into the room.

After he left, Obito's face sank, "I didn't expect that even Shimura Danzou was already eyeing me." Is it because I've been getting too close to Orochimaru lately? ”

He wanted to reach for his comics, but he was worried that Tuan Zang hadn't gone far, so he could only tiptoe back to the bed, pull open the quilt and lie down quietly.
