It is undeniable that since he accepted that memory, his apparent calmness was all fake. In fact, he was just too shocked to react. After he slowly accepted that memory, he After being shocked, suffering, and hating, all that was left in the end was confusion. Like the 16-year-old, he began to doubt.

What is a clan?What is a village?What is a ninja?

These questions have been lingering in his head, but one thing that has been firm since he woke up is that he will never let Itachi get his wish again. This time, his future path will be chosen by himself, and he will not be manipulated by others again. He has decided his own life, and his life is determined by himself.

Naruto, who had his eyes closed to rest, noticed that Sasuke's mood suddenly became violent. He opened his eyes and looked at Sasuke who clenched his fists, his eyes confused but with strange persistence, and sighed.

I knew that Sasuke, a brat, would not be as calm as he looked, so it was Sasuke who said he felt hatred in his eyes from time to time in the past few days. "Sasuke, go find it, find the only truth, instead of knowing it through other people." They want you to understand the facts and then make the choice you think is right. However, I want to remind you that the past and the future should be more focused on the future. No one can change the past, but the future is still in your hands. On hand..."

Thinking of the sadness and despair lingering around the young Sasuke, he sighed and said, "Don't let down the suffering that Sasuke has experienced in this memory. The living are the most important."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and began to think, and then spoke after a while: "This time, I will find the answer myself."

Naruto saw that the haze in Sasuke's eyes had dissipated a lot, and nodded, feeling relieved.

At this time, Naruto heard footsteps coming from far away and guessed that Danzo was coming. He quickly glanced at Sasuke. The two of them silently got closer, and all the muscles in their bodies were tense, as if they were about to A cheetah facing unknown dangers.

Danzo walked over from a door on the side with an expressionless face, only glanced at Sasuke at first, and then stared at Naruto, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his expression became more and more dissatisfied.

Naruto's heart was the same as that of Ming Jing, knowing that he was dissatisfied with his identity as the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, but he did not intend to argue with Danzo now. Instead, he looked curious and prepared to make some excuses, "Uncle, who are you? Why can you be called Are you touching the ANBU of Third Generation Grandpa?"

Danzo had already conducted a thorough investigation on Naruto and did not accept this trick at all. He snorted coldly, "Kyuubi Jinchuuriki, stop pretending. I don't believe you haven't investigated me."

Naruto was not upset after being exposed and returned to his usual smile, "Well, I know a little, not much."

Danzo looked gloomily at Naruto's face, which had a similar smile to Namikaze Minato's, and his expression became even worse. The Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was more cunning than he thought, and such a vague answer made it impossible for him to grasp the depth of the opponent.

However, considering that the strength of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is obviously no worse than that Uchiha boy, and that he can endure the kind of treatment he received in school, and even the personality he displays is completely different, it shows that this guy is definitely not stupid. It's a pity that he is still too immature and too young. He dares to show off his skills like this before he is fully strong. After that, not only will he not be able to tolerate him, but even Hiruzen will be wary of him. When the time comes, he will If they use some tricks to make them both lose, the position of Hokage is not yet within reach.

Danzo was so excited that his hand on the cane was trembling slightly. Although it was not obvious, Naruto's eyes had not left Danzo since Danzo appeared. Looking at this, Naruto probably understood what Danzo was thinking. What, it's a pity that the other party's calculations are in vain. He has always calculated the bottom line of the third generation grandfather before taking action. At least his actions on the surface did not cross the line at all.

Danzo did not intend to continue testing each other, and directly stated his purpose of 'inviting' them here, "Join the roots, or die."

This did not give Naruto the right to choose at all, but Naruto had no intention of choosing. He had already planned to do so, so he readily agreed, "It's okay to join Gen, but I have conditions."

Sasuke gave Naruto a shocked and complicated look, nodded, and agreed with Naruto's words. He understood that the reason why Naruto agreed to join the Roots was because of him. The other party had already guessed his plan to join the Roots to investigate the truth about the Uchiha genocide.

He didn't expect that Naruto would do this for him. He didn't believe that Naruto didn't know what kind of organization the root was, and the Narutos of the two worlds had one thing that was particularly similar in that they didn't like killing people, especially this Naruto. Every time he killed, he always smiled, so that the other person would not feel the fear of imminent death, and then killed him with one blow. I am afraid that many people died before they could react. After that, Naruto would take care of the other person's body, Then he frowned and remained silent for a while, as if praying.

He thought that the people killed by Naruto must not have experienced pain, because the expressions of everyone killed by Naruto were not as ferocious and twisted as the corpses he had seen, but had the same expression as when they were alive. , some are even peaceful, like being rescued.

Danzo's whole body was filled with murderous intent. He didn't expect that Naruto would agree to him. He originally planned to torture him to extract a confession, but "the conditions?"

A sarcastic smile appeared on Danzo's lips, "Kids, don't forget whose territory this is. As long as I give the order, you will all be dead in an instant."

Naruto completely ignored Danzo's threat and smiled nonchalantly, "You won't do this, because it will not do you any good and will only bring you infinite trouble. I am also the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki after all. It's not easy to cover up the past if you die here. If you leave a stigma, I don't believe that the higher-ups will still trust you and let you become Hokage."

"So agreeing to my conditions is the best choice. After all, Sasuke and I are the strongest among the new generation, and our potential is unlimited. Coupled with our identities, if you use this help well, you can become the next generation." The cornerstone of Hokage.”

"Humph, believe it or not, even if I kill you now, they won't be able to find any evidence. It's better for you to see the current situation clearly." Danzo's eyes narrowed, obviously he was very unhappy after being exposed by Naruto. , Naruto's analysis was indeed to the point, but Danzo didn't want to be suppressed by the other party like this, after all, he still wanted to save face.

"You can give it a try." The corners of Naruto's mouth raised provocatively, and the fearlessness in his eyes made Danzo break into a cold sweat, because he knew that Naruto was really not afraid of death.

"You can try whether you are faster at giving orders or I am faster at undoing the seal of the Nine-Tails. Either way, we are both going to die. Why don't Sasuke and I make a big fuss? Then you and your subordinates will be buried with us. That's right. You survived by chance, but you can’t explain this situation.”

This is the first time in a long time that Sasuke has seen the not-so-serious Naruto standing so tall and straight, with eyes full of sharpness that can pierce through all difficulties, but Sasuke feels that such Naruto is like a A stretched bow can be broken by just a little more pressure.

This is different from the Naruto Sasuke knew. That Naruto was very tough. No matter what kind of pressure he was, he was not afraid of crushing him. He was like a spring. No matter how much pressure you put on him, he would not refuse. , and then jump higher than anyone else.

This Naruto reminded Sasuke of a sentence he heard in his previous life.

——I don’t want to die, but I don’t have much desire to live.

Danzo's murderous aura suddenly strengthened, almost becoming a reality. He raised his hands, intending to teach Naruto a lesson, but a 12-year-old child saw things so clearly. Compared to Uchiha Sasuke, the Nine-Tailed Jinchūra He couldn't save his strength, otherwise if he was given another ten years, he might be the second Namikaze Minato, and then he would never be able to get ahead in his life. He could only act now to eliminate that possible future.

Naruto's whole body tensed up, he stared at Danzo warily, and silently protected Sasuke behind him. It seemed that Danzo's power behind the scenes was more powerful than he thought, and he actually dared to take action against him. He didn't expect this calculation. Something went wrong.

Just when both sides reached the critical point and were about to explode, Naruto's head was blank for a moment. When he woke up again, Danzo had obviously restrained himself a lot, and his expression was still slightly fearful.

Although Naruto didn't understand what happened in such a short period of time, the only one with the ability to invade his consciousness was Ajiu, which made sense for Danzo's fear.

Seeing Naruto's eyes become the same, Danzo felt relieved. He didn't expect the pressure of the Nine-Tails to be so strong. He seemed to get along well with the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki, but he would actually come out to support him. He was so strong. If the power can be used for oneself, then that position can be easily obtained.

Danzo's ability to survive so many battles and possess such great strength is inseparable from his knowing how to advance and retreat. He was warned by Kyuubi just now, and he understands that if he does not retreat strategically, he may really get into trouble. The fate of the fish and the net is broken. Anyway, if you don't do it yourself, there are many powerful enemies of the Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki. Sooner or later, he will die somewhere else. It is better to use him to achieve your own goals now.

Having figured it out, Danzo no longer felt depressed, and said coldly: "Tell me your conditions."

"My condition is that you are not allowed to attack the village and my people, including Shiro and Zabuza, for three years. On the contrary, Sasuke and I can join Gen, but you must first give us two years to increase our strength, whether it is to accumulate actual combat Both Sasuke and I still have big deficiencies in terms of experience and theoretical knowledge. We didn’t join Gen to seek death.”
