Konoha starts from the root

'Root''s headquarters, in Danzo's office.

After Baiye had a general understanding of the recent changes in Konoha, he stopped paying any attention to them.

This time he came to Konoha for two main things. One was to take away materials for rebuilding the radiation laboratory, and the other was to select a few root ninjas as assistants.

Now that the changes in the four properties of his chakra, wind, fire, earth, and water, have been completed, the next step is to practice the change in the properties of the thunder attribute chakra.

However, what can be done simultaneously is to integrate the changes in the three properties of wind, fire, and earth, and then awaken the blood inheritance elimination of "dust escape".

Once he awakens "Chen Release" and creates one or two suitable ninjutsu to exert his power, his strength will suddenly become the top existence in the Kage level. By then, there will be only a handful of people who can threaten him in the ninja world.

However, even if he had experience in fusing the changes in the two properties of wind and water, he could not guarantee that he could successfully merge the changes in the three properties of wind, fire, and earth in a short period of time.

Therefore, he must be fully prepared.

"Is everything ready?"

"According to your request, the supplies have been sealed and you can take them away at any time."

"What about people?"

"Here's the list."

With that said, Danzo handed a roster to Baiye.

Baiye took the roster and opened it. It was full of detailed information about the root ninja, including gender, height, age, mission records, psychological evaluation, abilities and specialties, etc., everything.

Three minutes later, Bai Ye circled a few people and said, "Just these four people."

After that, he returned the roster to Danzo.

Danzo took a look at the roster and said, "No problem, I'll get them together right away."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of "Dong Dong Dong".

Danzo glanced at Bai Ye, saw Bai Ye nodded, and then said: "Come in."

The door was pushed open, and a root ninja walked in quickly. He completely ignored Baiye who was standing beside him. He just knelt down on one knee and raised a letter. He said in a cold tone: "Danzo-sama, someone has brought it with you." I want to see you with a souvenir from the Third Generation."

Bai Ye heard this and said, "Oh, it came quite quickly."

"It should be that the village's barrier system sensed it." Shimura Danzo expressed his guess.

"It doesn't matter, let's see what he wants to do?"

Bai Ye actually knows the secret code technique to cross the village boundary, but he doesn't care much about these minutiae now.

After hearing Bai Ye's words, Shimura Danzo said directly to the root ninja below: "Bring him here."

"Yes, Danzo-sama."

After responding, the ninja left.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on the office door again.

"Come in."

As soon as Danzo finished speaking, an ANBU ninja pushed open the door and entered.

Although the other party was wearing a mask, Danzo Shimura and Shiroye recognized his identity immediately - Kakashi Hatake.

Kakashi glanced at the white leaves as if unintentionally, and then greeted: "Danzo-sama."

"Kakashi, what's the matter?" Danzo asked directly without any politeness.

Hearing this, Kakashi glanced at Baiye again, and then said: "The Third Generation wants to see you."

"Hiruzhan..." Danzo pondered for a moment, stood up and said, "Shiroye, you can come too."

"Yes, Danzo-sama."

Bai Ye seemed to be back to his original state, and although his tone was cold, it was still respectful.

This was what he and Shimura Danzo had discussed before. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen had already mastered some information about him and knew that he was operating outside in the name of investigating the 'Akatsuki' organization, he would take the opportunity to reveal some more information this time. to each other.

On the one hand, it curbs the development of the Akatsuki organization, and on the other hand, it gives Hiruzen Sarutobi a reassurance, lest the other party always think that Danzo and he are planning something secretly.

Ten minutes later, Baiye and Danzo Shimura arrived at the Hokage's office.

As soon as he walked into the office, Sarutobi Hiruzen set his sights on Baiye. He glanced at Kakashi out of the corner of his eye and saw him nodding his head imperceptibly, and he suddenly understood.

At this time, Danzo Shimura spoke: "Hiruzen, what's the matter?"

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave an overview of Kakashi's rescue mission, and then asked: "Danzo, what do you think of this?"

After listening to Sarutobi Hiruzen's narration, Baiye immediately guessed that Kakashi and Tenzo had met Scorpion and Deidara from the Akatsuki organization.

It is estimated that if the other party had not retreated first, I am afraid that not many ANBU ninjas brought by Kakashi would have survived.

However, this is not necessarily true. At this time, Deidara is in a period of rapid improvement in strength and should not be as strong as he would be a few years later. Moreover, Kakashi's Thunder Release is just enough to restrain him. With Kakashi's combat experience and IQ , the fight is at least [-]-[-].

As for Scorpion, Tenzo had told Kakashi and others the information that he was a puppet master and good at using poison before he fell into coma, so it was impossible for Scorpion to kill all these ANBU elites.

I'm afraid this is also an important reason why they were ordered to retreat. Continuing to fight will only expose more, which is contrary to the current dormant strategy of the 'Akatsuki' organization.

However, Shimura Danzo didn't know about this matter yet, which shows that Sarutobi Hiruzen was already deliberately guarding against Danzo.

Danzo Shimura didn't know much about the Akatsuki organization, so he didn't directly answer Hiruzen Sarutobi's question, but instead threw the question to Shiroye as planned.

I saw him saying to Bai Ye: "Bai Ye, tell the third generation what you know."

Upon hearing this, Shiroye immediately claimed that they were, and then said to Sarutobi Hiruzen: "Sandaime-sama, based on your description, I surmise that they should be official members of the Akatsuki organization."

Sarutobi Hiruzen calmly blew out a smoke ring and said, "Tell me carefully."

"Yes, according to my investigation, the official members of the 'Akatsuki' organization usually work in pairs, and they all wear black robes embroidered with red clouds, which is very similar to your description."

"Do you know their identities?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked again.

Bai Ye shook his head. He did not intend to reveal the identity of these two people. After all, these two people were also involved in Sunagakure Village and Iwagakure Village.

Once Sarutobi Hiruzen knew about it, he might take some measures, which would affect the course of the world and completely lose his intelligence advantage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen felt a little disappointed when he saw Shiroye shaking his head.

After a moment of silence, he said in a tone that left no doubt: "Tell me about your investigation results during this period."

When Bai Ye heard this, he immediately looked at Shimura Danzo, and then Danzo was silent for a while in perfect agreement before nodding.

Seeing this, Bai Ye revealed the information he had prepared.

"Reporting to the Third Generation, I have found out the identities of two official members of the Akatsuki organization."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi straightened up immediately and said, "Continue."

"Hidan, the rebel ninja of Yugakure Village, and Kakuzu, the rebel ninja of Takigakure Village."

That's right, Shiroye was talking about Hidan and Kakuzu. Who made them have a grudge against him?Moreover, these two people are relatively easy to deal with, and there are no big secrets involved.

Compared with these two people, which of the other members of the Akatsuki organization has no story behind them?

It was like a single move that affected his whole body, so he didn't want to provoke it for the time being.
