After a hearty meal at the barbecue restaurant with his family, Hachiki Shuohui offered to let the White Fang go back first, while he had to walk around the village again.

After four years of absence from Konoha, he misses everything here a little.

Although it was wartime, Konoha was still as prosperous as ever, and it was not affected by the war.

Hagi Shuohui strolled through the bustling streets, the evening breeze gently blowing on his face.

He was relaxed, and he felt a kind of comfort that he had not felt in a long time.

Suddenly, his eyes were cold, and he quietly turned around and walked into a small alley with no one alone.

"Who are you? Why follow me? ”

Hagi Shuohui suddenly killed a horse pistol, and locked the throat of the man with the mask behind him, and pressed it against the wall.

"Ahem, cough, cough ....."

Seeing that the man was coughing and struggling, as if he was about to lose his breath, Qimu Shuohui relaxed his hand slightly.

"Fruit...... Sure enough, it was the one who defeated Hanzo, and I underestimated you. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, if you don't tell your identity again, you won't have a chance!"

Qimu Shuohui said, and once again increased his strength.

The man struggled for a moment, and quickly begged for mercy.

"Don't! I say...... I say....... I have no ill intentions, I am on the orders of Lord Danzang, please come and see him. ”

"Tuanzang?" Qimu Shuohui carefully looked at the mask of the person in front of him, "Are you a person from the 'root'?" Why did Danzang see me? I don't think I have any friendship with him. ”

It's actually Tuan Zang who wants to see himself?

Instead of having a friendship with him, he had a grudge over the affairs of the Uchiha clan.

Could it be that he could still come to apologize?

This guy doesn't look like a good guy!

Qimu Shuohui's heart was suddenly full of doubts.

Seeing that Qimu Shuohui was deep in thought, the masked man spoke again: "Lord Tuanzang wants you to go and see him, he said that he has something, and you will be very interested. ”

"Intrigued? I don't know him well, can he know what I like? ”

"You'll know this when you go to see Tuanzang-sama."

Looking at this man's repeated requests, is it ...... Is there anything you're really interested in?

After struggling inwardly, Hagi Shuohui finally decided to meet Danzang.

Since he insisted on seeing him so much, maybe he could really come up with something that interested him.

"Okay, then you lead the way."

"Okay, Lord Shuohui!"

The masked man let go of his hand when he saw Qimu Shuohui, coughing and breathing heavily.

He looked around carefully to make sure that no one was following him before heading to Root's headquarters with Hagi Sakuki.

"So far, not there yet?"

"Lord Shuohui, it's soon!"

Following the masked man around outside Konoha Village, the two finally stopped at the foot of a remote mountain.

The masked man pointed to a huge rock in front of him, "This is it, please follow me." ”

As the masked man made a few seals, the rock slowly moved away, and a long narrow aisle appeared in front of him.

Actually set up the headquarters of "Root" in such a safe place, Tuan Zang is really a cautious person!

Hagi Shuohui thought to himself, and followed the masked man into the tunnel.

"Lord Shuohui, please follow my footprints, or you will trigger the mechanism in this tunnel."

Are there all mechanisms in this?

What an old fox!

Qimu Shuohui was secretly frightened.

He carefully followed the masked man's footprints all the way and walked for a long time.

Finally, an exit appeared not far away.

Walking out of the tunnel, Qimu Shuohui was instantly shocked by the scene in front of him.

What you will see is a huge driving range, surrounded by many buildings.

Danzang actually hollowed out this mountain and made it the headquarters of "Roots"!

"How is it, Shuo Hui-kun, I'm not bad here, right?"

A deep voice shattered Hachiki Shuohui's thoughts.

He looked at the voice, and it was a valiant man.

It seems that he is the leader of the "root" - Shimura Danzo!

Seeing Danzo walk out, he was still nominally Konoha's "Hokage Assistant", and Hachiki Shuohui bowed to him.

"I don't know much, so I make Tuanzang-sama smile."

"Haha..... Why should Shuohui-kun be so polite, you are our hero of Konoha! ”

Danzang said, affectionately coming over and patting him on the shoulder.

"Come with me, let's go to the living room and talk."

"Okay."

Hagi Shuohui silently followed in the footsteps of Tuanzang.

Seeing him so enthusiastic, Qimu Shuohui naturally understood that this guy was not well-intentioned, and he could only take one step at a time now.

The layout of the living room is relatively simple, just a large round table and a circle of chairs.

Tuan Zang randomly picked a chair to sit down, and then motioned for Qimu Shuohui to sit too.

"Lord Tuanzang, you don't have to be so polite, just say something directly."

Tuan Zang groaned and slowly spoke: "Then I'll say it directly." First of all, I apologize for the fact that I conspired with Uchiha Iwa to assassinate you earlier. ”

After speaking, Tuan Zang quietly glanced at Qimu Shuohui's face, and saw that his expression was not abnormal, and continued.

"Secondly, I want you to join our 'root' organization."

Root?

Qimu Shuohui's face changed suddenly.

"Lord Danzo, since you and Uchiha Iwa assassinated me together, since you apologized, I naturally won't take it to heart. But if I join the 'roots', I'm afraid I'm going to live up to your love. ”

Seeing Qimu Shuohui's refusal, Tuan Zang didn't seem surprised, but smiled mysteriously.

"Have you already promised Ape Fei to join the Shadows?"

"Danzo-sama, how do you know?"

It seems that only a few people who are still in the Land of Rain and the eldest brother's family know about his promise to the three generations of Hokage to join the Shadows, and how did Tuan Zang know.

Qimu Shuohui was puzzled for a while.

"Hehe....." Tuan Zang sneered, "You don't have to be surprised, these are all my guesses." Ape Flying ...... I know him so well! ”

Qimu Shuohui did not speak, and continued to listen to Tuan Zang.

"Did he tell you that after joining the Shadows, he will protect you and prevent the Uchiha's people from doing anything to you?"

Receiving an affirmative reply from Hagi Shuohui, Tuan Zang shook his head disdainfully.

"Sure enough, it's still the same old thing, Sarufei is always so weak and powerless, what a waste of the Hokage's majesty!"

"Three generations of adults, maybe he thinks about more things."

"I don't believe what you just said, what about yourself?"

Seeing that Danzang's eyes were staring at him burningly, Hachiki Shuohui also looked at him coldly.

The atmosphere around it dropped to freezing in an instant.

"You don't have to hide yourself in front of me," Tuan Zang said slowly, "because we are the same people!" ”

"What kind of people?"

"You know it in your own heart. Shuo Huijun, remember when I said I had something you're interested in? ”

Tuan Zang's words changed abruptly, and he took out a notebook from behind him.

Hagi Shuohui took the notebook and found that there was only one piece of paper inside.

A rank is densely written on the paper, and their surnames are all Uchiha!

"Danzo-sama, what does this mean?"

"Shuo Hui-kun, the person on this piece of paper is the person who participated in the assassination of you before. As long as you're willing to be on my side, I'll make them disappear..... Included – Uchiha Iwa! ”

Danzou actually wanted to kill so many Uchiha clansmen for himself?

Even the patriarch of the Uchiha clan!

What a madman!

Although he was shocked in his heart, Qimu Shuohui did not show it on his face.

"Tuanzang-sama is really ..... Domineering! It's just that I've already promised Hokage-sama to enter the shadows, so I'm afraid it really won't work if I join the 'root'. ”

"No, no, no......" Tuan Zang shook his head, "I'm talking about being on my side, not to let you join the 'root', but ........ After you become Hokage in the future, you can be on my side, not Sarutobi. ”

Hokage?

Qimu Shuohui was even more puzzled.

"But Danzo-sama, I've never had the idea of being the Hokage."

"But you probably will be in the future!" Tuan Zang's eyes were suddenly full of fanaticism, "With your exploits in the Land of Rain this time, you already have a lot of prestige in our Konoha, and even ordinary civilians regard you as a hero of Konoha." As long as you have more merit in the Land of Wind, you will definitely be one of the candidates for the four generations of Hokage in the future! ”

"Hokage-sama still has three disciples, and their reputation as 'Legendary Three Ninjas' is not weaker than mine."

Danzang shook his head, as if he had seen everything through.

"Orochimaru is gloomy by nature, and he is too impetuous, and as for Tsunade, his strength is too weak to convince the public. Ape Fei arranged you into the shadows, just to cultivate you as a fourth generation. ”

"This guy ......" Tuan Zang recalled many past events, and his eyes were confused, "I have been fighting with him for decades, and I know him too well." ”
