Chapter 74: Konoha Infiltrated by Roots
A few minutes later, Kirito left the Uchiha clan land satisfied, Uchiha Yan, the Uchiha patriarch, did not disappoint him, the other party was still very generous in the matter of fighting the group, and he successfully obtained a detailed list of root members from Chizuru.
Back at the orphanage, Kirito will return to his room as soon as possible, and then open the sealing enchantment, isolate the prying eyes of the outside world, and then take out the list of root members to read carefully.
Kirito looked at the large number of names on the list and the backgrounds and abilities of these people, and his mood gradually became a little heavy.
I have to say that Tuan Zang is a capable person, and he is indeed a qualified intelligence leader, and in a way, his personality charm is very marketable in the ninja group of Konoha people.
I really don't know if I don't see it, and I'm shocked when I see it.
Danzang's infiltration of the Konoha ninja clan and the civilian ninja group has been very deep, and each ninja clan has a shadow child he has planted, many of whom are still in high positions in the clan, and even some people in the Uchiha clan are attracted by his darkness and become his eyeliner.
In terms of the number on the list, there are more than 500 people, including 36 upper ninjas, more than 400 middle ninjas, and it is estimated that there are very, very many lower ninjas who are not on the list.
It's no wonder that Mito and the third generation have scruples, if Danzo dies, the chain reaction will inevitably be very huge, and it is very likely to shake the foundation of Konoha.
"It's all three generations of pots, if he has enough ability, he won't be exploited by Tuan Zang, from the current point of view, the root is already a big tail, if you want to uproot it, killing Tuan Zang is the key to it, he can rely on the seal of the tongue to successfully control so many people."
Kirito sighed after reading the names on the list.
It's just that it's not easy to kill Tuan Zang, this old guy is too steady, he can't find a chance now, so he can only start with some small fish on this list.
First of all, he wants to cut off the source of funding for the roots.
There are so many people in the roots, how can it be possible to support so many people with the little funds allocated by the three generations of door-pickers.
The members of the root are also human beings, and they also have to eat and cultivate to support their families, and money, a resource that walks the world, is indispensable.
According to the information given on the list, part of the Root's funding comes from a few powerful nobles in the Fire Country, and some of it comes from some merchants controlled by the Root.
It is precisely because of these people behind them that they continue to provide huge financial support that the roots led by Tuan Zang will continue to grow and develop after three generations of power, and their overall strength has long exceeded that of the direct shadow department mastered by three generations.
And these people who provide financial support for the root are scattered outside Konoha and are undoubtedly among the easiest targets to target.
"Some of these root-controlled merchants happen to be in the country of waves, and I will accept their property unceremoniously."
Kirito said coldly.
Then, a question suddenly occurred to him, that is, how did the Uchiha's people collect the information of so many root members in such detail?
In Konoha, the Uchiha clan is basically firmly watched by the roots led by Danzo and the shadows directly under the three generations, and it should be difficult for the actions of the people in the clan not to be discovered.
"Ninja cats?"
Kirito thinks deeply about this question, and he soon arrives at the ninja cat clan that appeared in the original plot.
This group of psychic beasts, which are superficially indistinguishable from ordinary cats, has befriended and served the Uchiha clan for generations, and their members are scattered all over the ninja world, and they should be an important source of information for the Uchiha clan.
"Cats, it seems that we should pay attention to these cute little animals in the future."
Kirito stood up, walked to the window, looked at an orange cat sleeping in the shade of a tree in the courtyard outside, and thought thoughtfully.
Next, he went through the contents of the list several times again, and after memorizing the contents thoroughly, he burned the list, then took out a pen and paper and wrote a simplified version of the list on it.
The distinction between friend and foe is not only in his need, but also in the needs of some people around him.
But they don't want to remember as much as he does.
Soon, a new list was released.
Kirito put away the new list and hid it on his body, then walked out of the room and went to a training ground in the backyard of the orphanage.
At this time, Yamazaki Heizou and Noda Taiga, two Kirito younger brothers, had already returned from school to train here.
In addition to the two of them, there are also some orphanage children and foreign civilian children, most of them are working hard to practice physical arts or ninja throwing techniques, and a small number of them are practicing ninjutsu.
In addition to Yamazaki Heizou and Noda Taiga, there are three people who are already practicing ninjutsu, two men and one woman, named Nobita Umino, Shiranui Takeshi and Yukimi Yukimi.
As soon as Kirito arrived, the people and children on the training ground all stopped, or looked at Kirito with worship or respect or awe, and called Kiriren the eldest brother.
The strong in the ninja world are respected.
Ninjas worship the strong, and because adults are far away from them, children consciously compare themselves to children of similar age.
As a result, Kirito became the target of their pursuit.
It's just that when the gap is so big that it is hard to see it, some people will feel jealousy and even hatred and feel sorry for themselves, some people will be in awe and recognize themselves, and some people will worship him and have the desire to follow.
When he was in school, Kirito's biggest hobby was to observe his classmates, then contact them, get to know them, and finally choose a small number of them.
The children who can train here are the people chosen by Kirito, and they are people that Kirito trusts and thinks are useful.
The analysis of the intelligence collected by the group is correct, Kirito is secretly wooing his peers of similar age, and gathering the people he likes by providing cultivation resources, ninjutsu, and physical persuasion, forming a new force centered on himself.
Although this new force is still very weak, and its members are basically just children who have not yet graduated, they will continue to grow and then stand out from their peers.
The reason why Kirito is so convinced is that these children have been voluntarily planted by him to plant the mark of the night, and their own strength and potential have been improved, and they will definitely be the most likely to survive among their peers when they go to the battlefield in the future.
Kirito greeted the children in the training ground with a smile, then gave them a few words of encouragement and guidance to train, and then let them continue to practice hard, and finally left leisurely.
When Kirito left, Yamazaki Heizou, Noda Taiga, Nobita Nobita, Nobita, Shiranui and Yukimi all left one after another, and they all came to Kirito's room one after another.
"The purpose of calling you here is very simple, that is, to let you remember the name on this scroll, I was assassinated by Sand Shinobi today, but it was actually the root led by Danzang, you are all very smart, you should understand what this means, if you don't understand, then remember the name on it and be secretly wary of them."
When everyone arrived, Kirito reopened the sealing barrier to isolate the prying eyes of the outside world, and then took out the list he had newly written, put it in front of them, and said solemnly.
