The insect farmer of Konoha who started as a spider

"Basei, thank you..."

After finishing lunch, when Kushina took the lunch box back, she thanked Basyu in a low voice like a mosquito.

"no need thank me?"

Basao used Senbon to shave his teeth, feeling a little surprised.

"I know that the source of the trouble these days is all caused by me."

"Thank you, and that sissy, otherwise I might...I really don't know if I could stay here."

"So, thank you!"

Kushina's character of daring to speak and act is now fully demonstrated. Now that she has spoken out, she no longer has any concealment of her thoughts.

Of course, there was no concealment at all. As for whether there were any other unspoken intentions, only she herself knew.

Daily life continues.

But there are always undercurrents that stir up the waves and stir up the storm in the calm night sky.

Konoha root base.

The empty underground space is like a huge execution ground in the dark.

The few bits of light are just to let people know clearly what kind of filthy abyss they are in.

At this time, a root ninja wearing a fox mask quietly appeared in the center of the hall, kneeling respectfully towards the invisible darkness at the end.

"Lord Danzo, my subordinate has something to report!"

The voice of the fox-masked ninja seemed devoid of any emotion.

"Foxtail? Is it Kushina's problem?"

Danzo walked out of the darkness at the end of the hall, looking mysterious and dangerous in the half-darkness.

Danzo is now in his prime, and does not appear to be as gloomy and cunning as he will be in his later years. Instead, he is majestic and fierce, with a terrifying aura.

Ordinary people just need to look at each other, and their emotions of fear and fear will be rooted out, as if they are facing a lion that can rise up at any time!

At this time, Danzo stared at the root member codenamed "Foxtail" indifferently, his brows furrowed, and a surge of power arose.

"Foxtail" has only one mission, and that is to monitor Kushina, who is preparing for the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, to prevent her from deviating from the preset track!

In fact, according to Konoha's high-level meeting, it was decided not to expose Kushina's identity in any way.

Surveillance itself is an act of exposure.

Even ANBU would not have the absolute trust of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Because Anbu can only be said to be a special department, it is responsible for the task of protecting Hokage, but its members are also politically gilded.

No one can guarantee that the person monitoring Kushina will be absolutely loyal and will not leak secrets.

Just like the President of the United States, he will never tell his secret service minister the nuclear bomb password under any circumstances.

But is there really no absolutely loyal person in Konoha?

have! Right at the root!

The roots trained by Danzo call themselves Konoha's deepest darkness.

Its members have no past, no future, and even no emotions and self-wishes.

Their world only has the word "mission", and failure in the mission means death.

Danzo's "root" department is the only department that can complete the "preparatory Jinchuuriki surveillance mission" without the possibility of leaking secrets.

And he did exactly that.

Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen pretended not to know.

This is the tacit understanding shared by their two old friends when dealing with pressures inside and outside Konoha!

"Danzo-sama, the target went to the first generation's mansion yesterday and met with Tsunade."

Foxtail's voice was indifferent, and he told what he thought was important information after self-judgment.

"Tsunade!"

"They know each other's identities?!"

Danzo took a deep breath, and his dark mind immediately made him think of all kinds of bad possibilities.

"It has been judged that it is not available yet."

"The two of them met because of a first-year ninja school freshman named Aburame Basyu."

"Foxtail" seemed to understand the experiences of Basio and his group very well, and reported them truthfully.

"A member of the Aburame Clan? Why didn't the target report the intersection with the Aburame Clan?"

After hearing Foxtail's report, Danzo not only did not feel relieved, but became extremely angry.

He stared at Foxtail with a pair of venomous snake-like eyes, as if he had already considered whether to conduct a harsh loyalty test on him.

Kitsune, who was supposed to be ruthless, immediately trembled with fear, and immediately explained Basuo's identity as a "marginal figure of the Aburame clan" and an "orphan", indicating that his danger level was not within the warning range.

"Have you been to his house?"

After Danzo heard Basei's information, he suddenly regained his coolness and calmness. It seemed that he was not as powerful as Shura just now.

"I am reporting to you, Danzo-sama, that the Aburame clan is in a dangerous situation. I am not sure enough to avoid the surveillance of the parasites, so I did not alert the snake."

Foxtail replied.

The major clans in Konoha are almost all in a state of absolute autonomy within their clan areas.

Not to mention the top clans like Uchiha and Hinata who are already arrogant and cannot deal with the Hokage lineage.

Even the Nara clan, which has openly supported the Hokage clan, has an ancient forest clan land and will never accept the interference of any outsiders.

The same goes for the Aburame clan.

And in terms of vigilance, the safety of the Aburame clan's clan is far better than that of the Hyuga clan.

After all, you can't keep your Byakugan open all the time, not to mention whether you have enough physical strength to keep up, but it's not good to see something private.

But among the countless bugs in the mountains and forests of the Aburame clan, who can be sure that the one flying in front of them is not a ninja bug out looking for food?

In the clan area, whenever they find a strange ninja who comes without warning, the Konoha ninja family's response is almost the same: they have all the rights to deal with this person!

If it was an ANBU who was discovered, maybe everyone wouldn't go to extremes, but it would still be very easy to give Hiruzen Sarutobi a headache.

"I know, you go down first and continue the mission."

"Especially the relationship between the target and Tsunade, if there is any abnormality, report it in time!"

Danzo shouted sharply and disappeared into the darkness.

At the same time, Foxtail also disappeared silently.

"Tsunade? The Senju clan really deserves the honor of the teacher! Humph!"

There was a faint voice in the darkness, like a Shura in the forest, lingering in the empty root base for a long time.

……

The Aburame clan is at the doorstep of Basheng's house.

The corner of Basheng's mouth twitched unnoticeably, and he looked at the two figures standing in front of his small shabby house.

"Brother Basuo! Sister Noonoyu! You are finally back!"

The rope tree rushed over excitedly like a gangster boy welcoming the legendary big brother who was released from prison.

Basao pushed it away with one hand, and instead looked at the plump figure holding his chest and shaking his feet and said helplessly: "Tsunade, what are you doing here again!"

"You think I'm here for you? Shengshu has to come, I just sent him here!"

Tsunade held her head high, as if she was a robber but had a reason.

"Now that the rope tree is safe, can Tsunade-sama go back?"

Basao wouldn't believe even a single punctuation mark in her words.

How could a man as big as Nasuki get lost in Konoha?

The weasel must have bad intentions when it wishes the rooster a New Year greeting!

"The scenery here is nice. I'll go back after watching it for a while."

Seeing that Rensheng couldn't catch the trap, Tsunade simply acted rogue and sat on the steps in front of the door.

Basheng really wanted to hit someone, and his house was almost turning into a gathering place for foodies.
