Naruto's Endless Pretense

After hurriedly confessing to Maki and his party, Sasuke returned home and made good preparations.Today he was going to meet Danzo. When facing this scheming conspirator, it was always good to be more prepared.

After getting ready, Sasuke picked some unnoticed roads and quietly came to a relatively run-down area on the edge of the village.This was once the gathering place of the Uzumaki clan in Konoha, but now it is completely deserted.

Orochimaru once built an underground laboratory here when he was in Konoha, but now it has become a base for Danzo.Two gloomy people with different personalities, but their choice of hiding place is the same.Today, Danzo has nothing to do and has made an appointment with Sasuke to meet here.

There was still a long way to go from the entrance of the underground base, when a figure suddenly drew his sword and rushed towards Sasuke.Sasuke seemed to have expected it, and stood motionless with a mocking face.Sure enough, the blade stopped about three inches from Sasuke's chest.

"After all, we are acquaintances once, so we shouldn't draw swords as soon as we meet, right?"

Sasuke stared at the ninja wearing a cat-face mask in front of him, and the sarcasm on his lips became even stronger.That night, the ninja leader wanted to take away the orphan that Sasuke brought back from the ruins of Whirlpool Country, but was discovered by Xiang Rin.

After that, Sakon and Tayuya held off those people, and when Sasuke came back, they defeated them easily.Sasuke even used genjutsu to crush this enemy's little boss, whom he had met once before, to break his mind in an attempt to get information.

However, just when Sasuke was about to take off his mask, this mysterious guy broke free from Sasuke's illusion, and then threatened Sasuke with life and death.In desperation, Sasuke agreed to come and meet Danzo today.This was something that was unknown and unknowable, so Sasuke didn't tell anyone.

This also allowed Sasuke to confirm that the mysterious ANBU ninja that day had not really passed out in the hands of Orochimaru.Even if his ability to break free from his own illusions fell into the hands of the Kurama clan, it is impossible to say that it was all fake.Maybe, he had been paying attention to his actions in the village, so he was set up for this situation.

Danzo could not have predicted that he would meet Orochimaru that day, so this should be just a casual move.But just for this casual move, Sasuke had to come to meet with Danzo today. He had to confirm whether Danzo knew that he had made a deal with Orochimaru.

No evidence is necessarily needed, even just a shadow or a vague description may pose a threat to Sasuke.Tsunade will naturally believe him, but the Third Hokage may not.If he really had doubts about Sasuke, who knows whether he would continue to stay in the ninja school to retire.

"Okay, take me to see Danzo quickly. To be honest, I'm very busy today."

"No problem, Sasuke-sama. Danzo-sama has been waiting for you for a long time."

Under the leadership of this ANBU (?), Sasuke walked around the catwalk in the lower passage for a long time, and finally came to a dark room with only an entrance.Danzo was sitting on a chair inside, leaning on a cane, and there was also a chair opposite him.

"Building your own lair in such a complicated way is as cunning as a snake. Danzo-sama, you are really brave."

"This is not my headquarters. The root organization has been abolished for a long time, and I don't have any of my former subordinates. I can only temporarily borrow Orochimaru's old facilities."

Danzo was not annoyed by Sasuke's tone and just explained it calmly.Then he motioned with his eyes to Sasuke to sit on the chair opposite him. Sasuke walked to the chair but did not sit down. He pulled out the short sword he carried and chopped it into pieces.

"It's strange. He didn't tamper with the chair. It's really not like your Dark Leaf style."

"You and I are not from the same era, so how can you understand me?" Danzo said calmly.

"Besides, I'm here to talk to you today. There's no reason to harm you."

Sasuke sneered at this and wanted to continue moving forward to get closer to Danzo.But the ANBU ninja on the side drew his sword and stopped Sasuke, which made Sasuke frown.

[Are you afraid that I will leave the mark of the flying thunder god's technique at this distance? 】

"Tianyu, Uchiha Sasuke is the special jounin of the village. He cannot draw his sword when dealing with ninjas from the same village."

Danzo reprimanded Tianyu but did not stop him

He stopped Sasuke, which made Sasuke more convinced of his suspicion.

"Well, since Mr. Danzo said you want to talk to me, you might as well show your sincerity and tell me the true identity of this guy codenamed 'Tianyu'."

Sasuke continued to test Danzo.At the same time, he also wanted to know who Tian Yu was?Logically speaking, ninjas of this level are not considered common among the people in Konoha, and Sasuke should be somewhat impressed.But Sasuke had been observing for a long time, but he didn't find a possible candidate.Tian Yu protects his true identity very well and cannot directly detect it.

"I can't tell you his true identity. This is an ANBU rule." Danzo pondered for a while and said.

"But I can tell you that he is Sarutobi's man, one of the powers that has been hidden."

"Three generations?"

Sasuke glanced at Tianyu suspiciously. Tianyu was wearing a mask and couldn't see his expression at all.Sasuke believed Danzo's words and had no reason to lie to him.But at the same time, he didn't say this hesitantly.

This may be something he really wants to tell himself: the third generation is not at ease with himself.

"You mean, it was the Third Hokage's intention to take those children away?" Sasuke asked.

"I plan to rebuild the root tissue and protect Konoha and the ninja world in the darkness. Orphans are the best embryo models for cultivating perfect tools. Those orphans have received the favor of the village, so they should naturally contribute to the village."

Danzo did not answer Sasuke's question directly, but stated his reasons for sending people to take away those children.From his furui expression, Sasuke couldn't tell whether this matter had anything to do with the Third Generation, but thinking of the handling style of this matter and the Third Generation's consistent philosophy, Sasuke believed that the Third Generation should not have known about it, or had not given permission to the group. Hidden to do so.

In this way, Sasuke has more space to operate.It's just that Danzo's arbitrary words, Sasuke is not false to him.

"Lord Danzo, those children are under my care. The village has no right to decide their future."

"Don't be so arrogant, Sasuke Uchiha!"

To Sasuke's surprise, Danzo's tone suddenly became stern.He stood up from his seat with crutches, and his whole body became oppressive.

"You are also a member of the village, and you must put the village first! Do you think that the privileges you have are all given in vain? Do you think that the peace of Konoha is given by God? No, it is paid for with every human life. Come! Those children can enjoy a peaceful life not because of you, Uchiha Sasuke, but because they are in Konoha now."

"So what?"

Sasuke exuded an aura that was not inferior to that of Danzo and could even overwhelm Danzo. He aimed the tip of the short sword at Danzo's position, and tiny sparks of electricity bounced on it.

"I don't care about your high-sounding words. If you dare to attack my people, I won't just watch."

"But you don't dare to attack me like this, right? Your master is now the Hokage of Konoha. If you do this, not only will you not be able to stay in Konoha, but it will also make it difficult for her." Danzo smiled contemptuously. There was a sound.

"And do you really think you are doing things without anyone noticing?"

Sasuke looked stern when he heard this.

"What do you mean by that?"

"What do you mean, I asked you to meet in a place like this? The answer is already obvious, right?"

Danzo sat back on his seat, his exposed eye half-closed.He looked calm, as if he had everything in hand.

"You have two choices now. One, I don't want those children, but I want to take away one of them named Meixi. I have investigated and found that the child's heart is almost dead. He is the perfect material."

"This is impossible." Sasuke immediately rejected Danzo.

"Then there's only the second option."

Danzo's eyes suddenly widened and his voice became a little louder.

"Come and help me, Uchiha Sasuke. The roots of Konoha need your power."
