At the root base, after being mercilessly beaten by the last Senju and Sarutobi Hiruzen, Danzo was rarely quiet for a while.

Of course, this quietness is obviously only superficial.

After more than ten years of development, the Roots has already transformed from a small parasitic organization in the Anbu to a huge department that is not inferior to the Anbu in scale.

As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, for his own purposes, deliberately connived, and countless members of the Roots were lurking in other villages and countries to continuously send back information to Danzo and Konoha. In order to keep it secret, For Danzo's unknown purpose, there are countless people hiding in the darkness and hardly seeing the light, working for Danzo in Konoha.

"Still no news from Zhihei?!"

However, no matter how many intelligence personnel there are, some things are obviously still difficult for Danzo to find.

For example, the news about Aburame Shiguro who seemed to have disappeared from the world.

"I am so incompetent that I have not found any trace of Master Shihei until now!"

Faced with Danzo's expressionless questions and his voice without a trace of emotion, several root ninjas knelt on the ground, their faces under the masks showing sincerity and fear.

But Danzo didn't get furious, he just looked ahead with a confused look.

According to his order, even if Aburame Shiguro did not capture Namikaze Namitani alive, he should have come back before Namitani returned. But now, Aburame Shiguro had returned to the village for several days, and Aburame Shiguro had not received any news, and he had already I had a bad premonition.

Especially when he learned that Iwagakure sent several jounin to ambush Namikakutani, Nezuki and his party, and killed Kato Dan, the only jonin in the team, this bad premonition gradually turned into uneasiness. , finally turned into the despair now.

In his mind, it was impossible to kill Aburame Shiguro with Namikaku Namiya's strength. Therefore, Shiguro's only possibility was that he encountered the Iwagakure jounin team while following Nawaki and his party, and was killed by Iwagakure. The ninjas laid siege to death.

"Where are Bingyou and the others? Haven't they come back yet?"

Danzo, who had completely given up hope that Aburame Shiguro could return safely, coldly threw Aburame Shiguro's name out of his mind and asked about the other group of subordinates in the Land of Rain.

No matter how powerful and loyal the dead subordinates were before, they are of no value at all.

"Sir, according to the news from the Kingdom of Rain, Bingyou and the others seem to have been recruited by Lord Orochimaru and became the reconnaissance team of the army. They should still be in the Kingdom of Earth at this moment."

This time, the root ninja who was kneeling on the ground was no longer panicked and quickly answered in a deep voice.

"Hmph! He's not polite."

After hearing these words, Danzo, who had always been very calm, even cold and expressionless, showed an expression on his face for the first time.He snorted coldly and spoke with deep dissatisfaction.

He was very dissatisfied with the way Orochimaru and Jiraiya took action without receiving orders, leaving Hanzo and Amegakure, whose attitude was still ambiguous and unwilling to sign the alliance, to directly break into the Earth Kingdom.

Even in his opinion, which has always been radical, the decision made by the two of them was too risky.

Not to mention that this may be Onoki's trick to lure the enemy, deliberately pretending to have an empty defense, luring them to take the bait, and then encircling and annihilating them.

Just the thought that after they left like this, Hanzo, who had lost his intimidation, might have different intentions. In order to take revenge on Konoha, he secretly cooperated with Onoki, suddenly counterattacked Konoha, and blocked their escape route. This is enough to make people think... Cold sweat, worried.

Although from now on, the things he worried about have not come true. Orochimaru and Jiraiya's rash actions forced Iwagakure to go to war with Konoha in advance. After he heard the name Orochimaru, he also Still not happy.

"Where is the orphan from the Kingdom of Rain?"

Danzo, who did not care as much about the four members of Youyou as Shiguro Aburame, asked the four of them because of Keito, an orphan who was related to Nawaki and Namikaze Namiya.

Obviously, even with the tremendous pressure from Senju and Sarutobi Hiruzen, he still had not given up on his original idea.

After all, as someone who has seen the power of Senju Hashirama, he knows very well the power of Wood Release and its ability to restrain tailed beasts.

Now that no one in the Senju clan has awakened the talent of Wood Release, and it has gradually faded away, in order to gain the ability to control tailed beasts, he will naturally do whatever it takes.

As a tailed beast that exists like a "nuclear weapon", if he masters the wood escape that controls the tailed beast, it is equivalent to mastering the nuclear button.

And who holds the nuclear button?

The head of a country.

The position of Hokage was an obsession that he never let go of until his death.

"According to the spies from the Kingdom of Rain, before Bingyou left, the orphan was handed over to a spy and brought back to the village and sent to the root. However, we haven't seen the spy yet."

"A bunch of trash."

This time, Danzo's face finally showed anger, and he couldn't help but curse.

The root ninjas who had been trembling before now all had their heads buried like quails with fear on their faces. But for some reason, when they heard this familiar scolding, they couldn't help but relax in their hearts. tone.

"Send people to the Country of Rain immediately and bring them back."

Sure enough, the next moment, although Danzo's voice was still filled with anger, he had already begun to issue orders.

In the eyes of the root ninjas who are already familiar with Danzo, this is the end of this crisis.

They once again passed the crisis safely.

"Yes!"

After responding with a chorus of suppressed joy, Danzo was the only one left in the room.

. . .

Naoshu felt that in the past few days, his life-and-death partner had become a little strange.

Although I accompany him to the riverside every day before dawn to do recovery exercises, he often stops practicing very suddenly, and then just sits by the river, staring blankly at the river in front of him. Sometimes, He was still mumbling something.

He even overheard it out of curiosity, but they were all syllables he didn't understand, giving him the feeling that this was another language.

What made him even more strange was that sometimes, after muttering a few words, Bo Gu would suddenly stand up, use the vacuum jade to seal the water behind him and frantically cut the river water, as if he wanted to cut off the river water.

But how could the river be cut off?

What Naoshu didn't know was that his question was actually the question that Bo Gu had to think about after watching the river water these past few days and using the Wind Release of the Vacuum Jade to cut the river water.
