The failure of the pursuit of Orochimaru was not unexpected by Danzo.

As Orochimaru's collaborator, he knows Orochimaru's abilities and strength better than Hizai, who is the Hokage, it is a poisonous snake that cannot be killed, and if he persecutes too much, he may be bitten back.

From this point of view, even if he maintains a cooperative relationship with Orochimaru, Danzang is still a little vigilant inside.

The information coming from Kakashi basically matched his guess.

Even if the two ministers were dispatched from the dark department, they would not be able to leave three ninjas.

Although those two are also Konoha's excellent ninjas, their combined strength is only close to Orochimaru, and if they can successfully capture Orochimaru, they will make Tuan Zanggao look at them.

"But that's weird."

In a room in the shadows, Ryoma stood there and said in a puzzled tone.

"What's weird?"

"Why did Orochimaru conduct human experiments on the villagers and ninjas in the village? Obviously, as long as he informs us, he can get countless human bodies from the root, and he doesn't need to take risks himself. ”

He and Orochimaru used to work together, and the oil girl Ryoma knew how cautious Orochimaru was, and would never leave such a big mistake.

Unless he did it on purpose.

It's like a child's flawed prank.

But this prank is really too big.

Even the three generations of Hokage can't cover it up, so they can only suppress the impact in the future.

However, Orochimaru has defected, and even if the follow-up impact is suppressed, it will not be able to recover the loss.

This method of dealing with it is like the large-scale defection incident five years ago, controlling public opinion in the village, but it can't change the cruel fact that Konoha's strength is declining, it's just a fig leaf for himself.

"Because of this, this matter will hit Japan very hard."

Instead of directly answering the oil girl Ryoma's question, Danzou said something like this and sighed lightly.

Orochimaru's defection is also beyond his expectations.

The way of defection is also deliberately done for everyone to see.

If it was a normal defection, it would not have hit the Japanese slash so the contrary, it was precisely because of this mischievous defection that it was really fatal to the Japanese slash.

Because Orochimaru denied not only the village, but also the whole of the Nichicho, the teacher who taught the karma.

Compared with Orochimaru's defection, the negation brought about by Orochimaru's defection is a sharp blade that is directly inserted into the heart of the day.

This kind of betrayal is no less than the level of cannibalism between father and son.

The oil girl Ryoma nodded as if she didn't understand.

Immediately, he remembered something and said to Tuan Zang: "By the way, although Orochimaru has defected, he has already sent someone to deliver the things we need in advance, and he is now storing them in the laboratory." Danzo-sama, when are you going to have a transplant? ”

A light of ambition flashed in Tuan Zang's eyes, and he suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Don't be in a hurry for the time being, the things are in hand, and there is no problem with when the transplant is made." What happened to Itachi Uchiha? ”

"He has officially entered the school, and how far he can grow depends on his own creation. However, will such people really join the roots? ”

Ryoma, the oil girl, suspects this.

"Of course. The will in his eyes was darker than that of any Uchiha. It is a clansman who fits perfectly with the roots. It's simply the opposite of the mirror of the year. ”

Danzo gave such an assessment.

"Since Danzo-sama said so, then I'll look forward to it a little."

The oil girl Ryoma never doubted Danzo's eyes on people.

Especially those who have darkness in their eyes will be attracted to the darkness in Tuanzang's body, and then join in the roots.

The same is true of his lieutenant, as are all the ninjas in the roots.

Attracted by the darkness on Tuanzang's body, he volunteered to dedicate everything to Tuanzang and the village.

"When he graduates from ninja school, I'll go and contact him. Until then, there are two more things to deal with. ”

"Two things?"

One of the oil girl Ryoma knew that it was the battle with Yun Yin, and now it was white-hot, and the roots would be active because of it.

Therefore, a large number of men must be sent to the front line to assist the Konoha troops in the battle with Yunyin.

Just like in the previous battlefield between the Land of Grass and the Land of Rain, the roots will make Konoha victorious regardless of life and death.

It doesn't matter what kind of despicable and cruel methods are used in this, what matters is that letting Konoha achieve all the victories is what the root really wants.

That's what roots are all about.

Therefore, the dispute with the three generations of Hokage can also be put down appropriately.

As for the other thing in Danzang's mouth, the oil girl Ryoma didn't know.

Maybe it's something that Danzo has made up his mind to make.

What could it be?

"Orochimaru's defection, we can take advantage of the impact this has on Hichisha. Moreover, I also want to give Hinata a chance to redeem everything, and I hope he can be decisive this time and not let me down again. ”

Danzou got up from his seat and walked to the window, sighing softly.

"What's the going to do?"

"Spread the word that Naruto Uzumaki is a nine-tailed demon fox in the village."

Danzo turned his back to the oil girl Ryoma and coldly gave this order.

“……”

The oil girl Ryoma's body shook and nodded slightly.

"Yes."

He knew what kind of life would come to the fourth-generation son after the news spread.

And there is only one way to break the game, that is, to expose his other identity, the identity of the son of the fourth generation of Hokage, and he can change from a disgusting human pillar force to a 'hero' who guards the village and is loved by the villagers.

So...... What will the third Hokage do?

Whether to choose exposure, or to keep it secret.

The oil girl Ryoma is looking forward to it.

◎

The defection of Orochimaru eventually spread out in the village.

The third Hokage personally issued an order to list him as an S-class wanted criminal and notify the countries of the ninja world.

The reactions of the major ninja villages were mixed, but they must have secretly sneered in their hearts.

In addition, the forces of Yunyin Village's attack on the Fire Country have become stronger, and the pressure on Konoha has also increased.

And all this is too far away for the ferret, so the current goal is to become stronger.

In a wooded area belonging to the Uchiha clan, today is another day to cultivate with Shisui.

"Itachi, how's the ninja school? Accustomed to life there? ”

After finishing the warm-up exercise, Zhishui asked with a smile at Itachi.

Itachi is already six years old, and he started school in early April this year, and now he has been counting it for almost a month.

Itachi glanced at the water after doing the warm-up exercise, and there was no panting at all, and he was slightly unconvinced, but he still said:

"That's it. But I think that being with you makes me stronger even more. ”

Itachi bluntly said what he thought in his heart, expressing his recognition and respect for Zhishui.

"Really? In school, isn't there an opponent for you to keep an eye on? ”

Zhishui was slightly curious.

You know, there are still quite a lot of new students enrolled this year, not to mention the major ninja clans, there are also many new students enrolled in Uchiha and Hinata, and Zhishui found that there are a few talents in it that are very good, and they can definitely become the backbone of Konoha in the future.

"I didn't pay attention to them."

Itachi picked up his shuriken and shot at the target ten meters away in a standard position.

The movement is standardized, and the speed and strength are also very good, far beyond the level of their peers.

"Why?"

"Because it's pointless. Judging from the performance of the usual practical classes, I don't think they are powerful characters, and they are not worthy of my attention. ”

Is there still no one else in the eyes? Zhishui thought with a slight headache.

"You are very much like me in the past."

Zhishui sighed.

"Oh? Do you think that's the case too? ”

Itachi seems to have found something to resonate with.

Zhishui did not answer.

In the past, he was indeed like this, but after becoming a real ninja, he realized how small and powerless he was alone.

This kind of insignificance and powerlessness certainly does not refer to one's own force.

In terms of force, Zhishui has always been satisfied with himself.

He thinks that he is small and powerless, because he is so strong, he still can't make the village and his family coexist peacefully, and no matter how strong he is, what's the point?

In the face of the clansmen who only complained about the village, Zhishui felt powerless.

In the face of the villagers who always smear the behavior of the Uchiha clan behind their backs, as well as the public opinion against the Uchiha from all sides, he also feels weak.

The problem is not only with the family, but also with the village.

But how? Zhishui's eyes began to be dazed again.

Putting away these complicated thoughts, Zhishui paid more attention to Itachi's mental health problems, so he changed the topic and cleverly asked another topic:

"Itachi, after graduating from ninja school, is a threesome, plus a mentoring ninja. At that time, teamwork was key, and you ......"

Before Zhishui could finish speaking, Itachi had already replied: "Don't worry, Zhishui, I understand this." If they are weaker than me, I will protect them. If they were as strong as I am, I would fight alongside them. If they overtake me, I'll try to catch up with them and try not to hold them back. ”

Zhishui looked at the weasel in a daze, unable to speak for a while.

Although Itachi replied with a near-correct answer, Shisui felt that something was not quite right.

Because this answer is too prescriptive, and too correct.

However, Itachi was able to answer like this, and it seems that he did not understand the importance of teamwork.

Itachi will still cherish the so-called companions in his heart.

This is a relief to stop the water.

Two hours later, when Itachi was at the beginning of his cultivation, Shishui stopped and said to Itachi, "Let's stop today's practice here." ”

"What's wrong?"

Itachi looked at the water in confusion.

Zhishui smiled and said, "Because next, I still have tasks to deal with over there, I'm sorry, I can't accompany you to practice with you next." ”

As the shadow ministry directly under the Hokage, and not included in the shadow system, he can be said to be a very special member of the shadow department.

One of the three shinobi Orochimaru defected, and his recent work has also begun to get busy, and it is impossible to accompany Itachi to practice all the time.

"It's okay, your task is important, don't worry about me."

Itachi didn't care.

Although I am curious about what the mission of Susui is, and I have never seen a teammate of Suzui, such a powerful ninja as Suzui must be performing a difficult confidential mission.

Therefore, choosing not to ask is the best choice.

"See you in a few days."

After stopping the water, he disappeared from the spot and left.

◎

In the Hokage's office, a shadow member stood there reporting something to Hinataki.

“…… Hokage-sama, that's what happened. All the people involved in the case have been monitored. ”

"I see, you go down first. I think about it. ”

Hizai sighed and waved his hand, letting the shadow go.

"Yes. However, the minister proposed that he hope that Hokage-sama will make up his mind as soon as possible, after all, this matter will not have a good impact. ”

With that, the shadows retreated.

After the darkness retreated, Hizari's face began to turn cloudy, on the verge of a kind of rage.

The incident of Orochimaru's defection, the follow-up impact has not been eliminated, and now another thing that is happening in the village is what makes him really annoyed-

The identity of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force was revealed.

I don't know where the rumors spread, turning Naruto Uzumaki into a demon fox incarnation that destroyed the village and killed the Konoha ninja, fanned the people's emotions, and completely exploded this public opinion.

The woman who raised Naruto also abandoned Naruto and ran away from Naruto's house, refusing to go back to feed Naruto no matter what she said.

And the person who has the ability to do this, no one else in the village can do it except that person.

Because this kind of thing is too similar to the incident of White Fang's public opinion, it is exactly the same.

The same means, the same speed, and to the point.

But the difference is that this time it is aimed at the nine-tailed man Zhu Li, a baby less than a year old.

"Tuanzang...... Why are you doing this? ”

Hizai gritted his teeth, his fist on the table clenched, and his eyes were bloodshot, and it was clear that his anger had accumulated to a terrifying tipping point.

Not to mention Naruto's identity as the son of the fourth generation of Hokage, even the identity of his human pillar power, it is impossible to expose it casually, it is the top secret in the village.

Hizai couldn't understand why Danzang did this?

The root is extreme, and it is impossible to be so stupid as to expose the identity of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force.

No matter how you look at this, for the current Konoha now, it will be all harmful and not beneficial.

Hizashi looked at the other paperwork on the table, which was a transfer letter about the roots.

At eight o'clock this morning, the leader of the root group, Shimura Danzo, led a large number of root ninjas to the cloud hidden battlefield to help, and at this moment, he had already left Konoha early.

Hinata found out that the object of his anger could not be found.

Danzou had already left early, and the support of the roots was related to Konoha being able to win on the Yunyin battlefield, and it was determined that he, the Hokage, would not dare to do anything to him.

“……”

It took a long time for the sun to calm down the anger in his heart.

The identity of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force is exposed, this matter is a foregone conclusion, since this is the case, then it is enough to strengthen the protection of Naruto, even if the identity of the Pillar Force is exposed, the protection of Konoha is not so fragile as this.

But the more troublesome part is the ultimate direction of those public opinions.

Rendering Naruto as a nine-tailed demon fox who tried to attack Konoha and kill hundreds of Konoha ninjas, many villagers have signed a joint letter, hoping to immediately execute Naruto, the demon fox incarnation, to ensure the safety of the village.

The boldness of the angry group is even more helpless for the ignorance of these villagers.

Therefore, the next step is to correct Naruto's name, which is the real key.

It is also the only way to break the game.

I wanted Naruto to have a happy and peaceful childhood, which could be regarded as a trivial reward for Mizumon and Kushina.

Things have come to this point, and they can only correct Naruto's name as the son of the fourth generation of Hokage, so that Naruto can get through this difficulty.

Otherwise, Naruto would have become embarrassed to even live in the village, which was really unfair to Naruto's identity as a hero's son.

Hizashi figured this out and immediately wrote a paperwork, intending to make an announcement that Naruto was not the nine-tailed demon fox that killed the Konoha ninja, but the hero of Konoha in the village.

In this way, it would be possible to reverse all the unfavorable public opinion in the village towards Naruto.

After writing the paperwork, when he was going to release the dark department, the action in the hand of the Japanese slasher slammed down.

He suddenly realized that things might not be as simple as he thought, and it was easy to break the game.

If he chooses to do this, it happens to be in the middle of Tuanzang's hands?

The son of the four generations of Hokage, he is Naruto's last protective card in Konoha.

If this card is played, it still can't stop the public opinion in the village, but it makes the public opinion more and more intense, and if Danzo uses any cruel tricks, he may not be able to catch it as a Hokage.

If so, what is the purpose of the group's efforts to do whatever it takes?

Hinata smiled bitterly, and immediately thought of a point, it was for his Hokage position.

The purpose of the group is not difficult to guess.

Orochimaru defected, and his prestige was not as good as before.

It was indeed a great time to strike at him.

Now he couldn't suppress some of the voices in the village, especially the voices of the martial arts faction on the side of Tuanzang.

Tuanzang's traps have always been one after another, and it is impossible for him to break the game so easily.

If he makes such a big fuss, I'm afraid that he will correct Naruto's name as the son of the fourth Hokage, and maybe it will also be a trap designed for him by Danzang.

If Naruto's identity is revealed, it won't solve the problem, but let Danzang grab other sore feet, and use the turmoil of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force to launch another public opinion attack, and then not only Naruto, but also his Hokage position may also be lost.

Once his Hokage position is lost, Naruto's control will fall into the hands of Danzo, and that is the most terrifying thing for Konoha.

Hizai exhaled lightly and put down the paperwork he had written.

"Let's wait and see, as for Jiraiya, I hope he can calm down......"

A deep worry appeared on the face of the old man, like a gloomy old man who was about to step into a coffin.

◎

People must not compromise on their own hesitation.

This is the most painful and regretful memory of Danzang back then.

Because of a momentary hesitation, he lost to his best friend Hisashi in the battle for the three generations of Hokage, and missed the position of Hokage.

From that time on, he understood that to do one thing, it must be done thoroughly, without the slightest hesitation and fear, looking ahead and backward.

People who are timid can't do great things.

If you hesitate, you will lose.

One compromise, there will be the next.

So, Danzo, who broke this fate, has always considered himself a good and powerful ninja.

Break the fate of being constrained, carry out your will to the end, and abandon your hesitation and cowardice.

Doing one thing, no longer hesitating, and not compromising with anyone, is your own ninja way.

Because of this, he was able to gather so many ninjas, establish the root, and become the only pillar in the hearts of all the ninjas in the root.

"Danzo-sama."

In the forest on his way to the eastern border of the Fire Country, Ryoma, the oil girl, chased after him.

The one who followed the group to act, plus himself and the oil girl Ryoma, there were a total of twenty-two people, and more than half of them were Shangnin.

In order to achieve victory on the Yunyin battlefield, the root can be said to be elite this time.

Danzou turned his head slightly and looked at the oil girl Ryoma.

"Say."

"News from the village."

Oil Girl Ryoma whispered.

"What did it end up with? Hinata Slash, did you justify that little imp named Naruto? ”

Danzang asked.

Oil Maiden Ryoma shook her head and said with a smile, "No, the three generations of Hokage didn't do anything and compromised on our roots. ”

This is the first time that the roots have truly achieved the fruit of victory.

Since the establishment of the root, it has been suppressed by three generations of Hokage.

The success of the countermeasure this time is thanks to the special identity of the Nine-Tails Pillar Force, who set up a suspicious strategy and confused the third-generation Hokage.

"Really? Compromised......"

Danzo said something like that.

The oil girl Ryoma glanced at Danzo strangely, he thought that Danzou would be happy to taunt the three generations of Hokage when he heard the news.

"Danzo-sama, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I just think that the current day is very much like me at the beginning."

The look in Tuan Zang's eyes was very complicated.

Heartache, regret, sigh, sadness.

Only there was no ridicule and no excitement.

Ryoma, the oil girl, fell silent and did not speak.

"How's the movement going on over there?"

Tuan Zang asked instead.

Naruto is the child of Jiraiya's disciple, and as a saninja, it is impossible for him to be indifferent in the village.

"According to the intelligence, it is only known that on the second day of the incident, he was drunk in a tavern alone, and finally he was carried back to his home by the shadows, and he seemed to be very drunk."

The oil girl Ryoma sighed.

Hizai compromised with their roots, and Jiraiya also compromised with his own teacher, which is really interesting for the master and apprentice.

Is the inheritance of three generations of Hokage a cowardly compromise policy?

Oil Girl Ryoma thought about it, and thought of the fourth-generation Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate who died early, if he hadn't died in the Nine-Tails War, maybe the roots wouldn't even have a chance to turn over.

It's a yellow flash on the battlefield that shows no mercy to the enemy.

No ninja who has fought against him will want to fight him a second time.

Even among the roots, there are many ninjas who worship him.

"It seems that I'm just like Orochimaru now, and I'm very disappointed in my teacher. Sun-slashing ...... It's old after all. Now he has become forward-looking, and he has just switched places with me at that time. Orochimaru's defection hit him more than I expected. ”

Danzo knew that in Hizai's heart, there was already a seed of fear that he had planted, and this seed would take root and sprout at any time.

Immediately, his words changed, and the color in his eyes became fierce.

However, his hesitation and compromise is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our roots. The more leafy a tree grows, the deeper its roots have to go into the bottomless darkness. Since the light has lost the meaning of its existence, then use the darkness of the root to completely replace the light of the village! ”
