Naruto God Tree Arrives

After the ANBU guards formed a formation to protect the Hokage in the center, they immediately shouted to the corridor outside the laboratory and asked: "Who is that person?"

Soon, dozens of ninjas wearing masks and trench coats walked neatly and quickly through the corridors and arrived at the entrance of the laboratory.

After seeing their clothes, the Anbu guards breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was Zhou Wei, the person in charge of night duty, who came to check after hearing the noise, and it was probably one of their own.

But unexpectedly, this group of uninvited guests did not respond at all after hearing the ANBU's shouts. Instead, they continued to charge forward without stopping, and their movements quickly dispersed and bypassed Sarutobi and his group from all directions. Entered the laboratory.

The Anbu guards did not expect such a change. They did not immediately intervene to intercept, but stood hesitantly on defensive alert.

Just this moment of hesitation made them fall into a huge passive situation. The sudden appearance of the uninvited guests formed a larger formation and surrounded them in the center.

At this time, all the ANBU guards realized that something was wrong. The ANBU captain who led him immediately shouted loudly at this group of ninjas dressed in similar costumes: "How dare you, Roots or ANBU, to be so rude to Hokage-sama, why don't you disperse quickly?"

After hearing his words, the ANBU present remembered that besides them, there was another root in Konoha who was dressed exactly like them.Seeing that the other party's posture obviously meant something bad, everyone came over on guard.

Facing the ANBU captain's scolding, all the ninjas on the periphery stood unmoved, and even their eyes did not waver at all, showing a completely different temperament from the ANBU.

Both are intelligence agencies. The temperament of Anbu is mysterious and iron-blooded, while the roots are numb and mechanical. Although they are both cold, the former is a person with spirit and emotions, while the latter is more like a cold and ruthless tool.

Sometimes no answer is the best answer. Now everyone present has figured out the identity of this group of people.

"Hehehe" At this time, Orochimaru, who was behind the two parties, suddenly let out a string of evil laughter: "It's really lively here tonight. First it's Sarutobi-sensei and ANBU, and now the roots are here too. Let's talk about the group. Why did I ask you to come here?"

At this time, the leader of the Roots said in a cold tone: "The Roots have received information about the exposure of the experiment. Lord Danzo ordered us to come and assist Lord Orochimaru."

After Sarutobi heard this, his face became gloomy, and he murmured in a low voice: "You are indeed the one behind Danzo supporting Orochimaru."

After Orochimaru heard the answer from the root leader, he smiled happily and said: "Assist me to help me escape? You know that I will probably become a wanted traitor in Konoha tomorrow. Isn't Danzo afraid of being implicated by me?"

"No, it's not about running away." The root leader shook his head and denied Orochimaru's speculation. "What Danzo-sama means is" at this point, there was finally a hint of emotion in his tone, "let us assist you in assassinating Hokage."

"what"

Everyone present looked surprised after hearing this answer. Even the determined ANBU elite couldn't help but exclaim. Sarutobi himself had a look of disbelief on his face.

"Assassination" Orochimaru was also stunned for a while. He looked at the root leader and asked

: "Are you sure that Danzo wants to assassinate the old man just to expose the things in the experiment?"

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he hurriedly shook his head and said to himself: "It is impossible that even if I am exposed here, he will have many ways to put aside the relationship. With the character of Danzo, he will never take such a big risk for others."

After Orochimaru lowered his head and pondered for a while, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Doesn't he want to kill the old man and seize the position of Hokage?"

Hearing Orochimaru's guess, Sarutobi and all the ANBU turned their attention to the leader, the leader, who remained silent with a somewhat erratic look in his eyes, neither admitting nor denying.

But everyone saw the answer from his attitude. Orochimaru probably guessed it right.

"That guy Danzo is really crazy for the position of Hokage." Orochimaru stuck out his tongue with an evil smile: "But even if the assassination is successful, how can he seize the position of Hokage from Mr. Nogeki?"

The ANBU present and Sarutobi himself also had the same question. You must know that Sarutobi will abdicate soon. Even if Danzo kills him, it is impossible to compete for the position of Hokage from Nawaki. Regardless of the reputation of both parties, There is a huge difference in strength.

Faced with this question, the root leader remained silent, but there were fluctuations in his eyes, as if he didn't want to say it, but couldn't help but couldn't.

"Isn't the tongue the root of the problem?" Orochimaru nodded thoughtfully, and then said again: "Let's put this issue aside, why does Danzo think that I will help him kill the old man?

You must know that whether it is assassinating the Hokage or killing a master, it is not a small crime. At that time, what I will face is the full pursuit of Konoha, which is much more dangerous than defecting."

At this time, the root leader finally spoke: "Danzo-sama promised that as long as you are willing to cooperate, he will guarantee your position as the head of the scientific research department after the matter is completed, and your experiments can continue."

"Hehehe" Orochimaru laughed even more happily when he heard this, "It's really a tempting condition." He turned to look at Sarutobi and joked: "Look, Sarutobi-sensei, as your old rival, Team Mr. Zang is much more open-minded. Do you think I should agree?"

"Hmph" Sarutobi snorted with a gloomy face, and then looked at the roots of the circle with a wary expression.

He knew that he might be in danger this time. These roots were all elites and at least Jonin, and their number exceeded the ANBU guard several times. In addition, Orochimaru was no less powerful than him. If there was a fight, his side would probably completely annihilated.

The situation that was originally a sure thing was completely reversed because of Genbe's intervention. At this critical moment, Sarutobi had no intention of trying to persuade Orochimaru. In his opinion, his disciple was hopeless, and the situation was obviously unfavorable just now. If you don't want to look back, it's even more impossible now.

He looked directly at the leader of the roots and asked: "Duanzo, since he wants to kill me, why don't you dare to see me if you don't come in person?"

The root leader said in a respectful tone: "Hokage-sama, Danzo-sama asked me to bring you a message:

Sarutobi, in order to implement the will of fire, I can no longer continue to be a root in the darkness. I must stand in the sunshine to lead Konoha in a more correct direction.I don't need your understanding, but time will prove me right. "
