Konoha: I, Uzumaki Sukuna, become stronger when I turn evil!

Root organization base, inside the room.

"Why haven't they come back yet?"

Danzo sat in his seat, muttering to himself anxiously.

For this operation, he sent out six Root members.

Three were responsible for holding back the Anbu people, and the other three were responsible for bringing back the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

In his opinion, it was enough to deal with just one child.

But what puzzled him was that so much time had passed since the mission began.

His subordinates had not brought anyone back yet.

"Could it be that Hiruzen discovered it?"

His face sank, and he guessed secretly.

Like Sarutobi Hiruzen, he did not believe that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki could deal with three Root organization members.

He thought that the operation was leaked and discovered by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Swoosh!!"

At this time, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.

Danzo looked at him carefully, and a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face:

"Crane."

"Where is the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

The man who came was his subordinate, 'Crane'.

When he saw 'Crane' coming back, he subconsciously thought that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki had been captured.

Unexpectedly, 'Crane' said in a very solemn tone:

"Danzo-sama."

"The mission... failed."

When Danzo heard this, his face suddenly became a little ugly.

He walked up to Crane and asked in a cold voice:

"Failed?"

"Why did you fail?"

"Did the Anbu people arrive?"

"Crane" shook his head and said:

"No."

"There were only two Anbu responsible for monitoring the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and we delayed them."

"But the three people responsible for capturing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki..."

"They were all killed!"

Danzo: "???"

"What did you say? They were all killed?"

Danzo's face was full of disbelief!

Those were three elites of the Root Organization!

Not only did they fail to complete the mission, they were also killed?

"Who did it?"

Danzo asked hurriedly.

He knew very well that even if his men stopped the Anbu people.

No matter how big the conflict between the two sides was, it would never reach the point of killing.

But the question is, if it wasn't the Anbu, who else could it be?

"That... I don't know yet."

"The fight was so intense that we and the Anbu rushed over to check it out."

"But when we arrived, there were only the bodies of our people left at the scene."

'Crane' also told Danzo in detail what happened.

The more Danzo listened, the gloomier his face became.

Three elites of the Root Organization went to capture a child.

Not only did they fail, but they also lost their lives?

If he hadn't known that 'Crane' was a member of the Root Organization and that the brainwashed people couldn't lie to him, he would have suspected that this was fake!

"What about the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

Danzo continued to ask 'Crane'.

'Crane' shook his head again and explained:

"I don't know."

"The body of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki was not found at the scene."

"We have been delaying the Anbu people. I don't know where the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki went."

Danzo's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

Although there was no body of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki at the scene, it was good news.

But he also couldn't accept the disappearance of the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki.

He sighed softly and raised his hand to rub his forehead, which was a little painful at this time.

The whole thing was really weird!

He was fully confident that he could capture the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki and interrogate him.

Unexpectedly, he lost three of his men!

The most annoying thing was that he didn't know who did it!

"Could it be... Is there someone helping the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki behind him?"

Danzo guessed secretly in his heart.

He didn't believe that the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki alone could kill all his elite subordinates.

This suddenly reminded him of the three patrol ninjas who were killed before.

It seems that there is a mysterious strong man who is attacking the people around the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki.

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental?

As soon as the Nine-tailed Jinchuriki disappeared, people were killed one after another.

"However, we still have to solve Hiruzen's troubles first."

Danzo couldn't figure it out, so he had to think about Sarutobi Hiruzen's problems.

When the Root members took action, the Anbu followed behind.

He felt that with Sarutobi Hiruzen's cleverness, he must have guessed that the matter was related to him.

Now that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is still missing, he has to think of an excuse to fool Sarutobi Hiruzen first.

...

At the same time.

In Konoha Village, on the high building of the Fire Country Conference Hall.

A figure stood on the roof of the high building, high up.Looking down into the distance.

It was Uzumaki Sukuna who followed the Crane all the way here.

The reason why he followed the Crane was to find the location of the Root Organization base.

Although he had the memory of a time traveler and was very familiar with the ninja world.

But even in the original work, the specific location of the Root Organization base was not specifically mentioned.

However, he knew that the death of three Root Organization members was such a serious matter.

The Root Organization member who arrived later and left in a hurry must have gone back to inform Danzo.

And just now, he saw with his own eyes that the Root Organization member returned from the back of the village.

After passing through one training ground after another, he finally entered a building that looked ordinary on the surface.

The geographical location of the building is very special.

On the front, there are rock statues of the successive Hokage of Konoha Village.

On one side, it is close to the Daimyo Mansion of Konoha.

On the other side, it is close to where he is now, the meeting hall of the Land of Fire.

Going out of the meeting hall of the Land of Fire, there is a spacious area.

There are training grounds around the spacious area.

Further out, there are towering walls surrounding Konoha Village.

Passing through the wall, you can leave the village and enter the surrounding forest.

"It turns out that the base of the Root Organization is built in such a hidden place."

Uzumaki Sukuna looked at the ordinary building, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise slightly.

He believed that it must be the location of the Root Organization's base.

The simplicity of the building's surface is just its cover.

The most important thing is that even at a distance.

His keen perception can feel the negative energy constantly emanating from the inside of the building.

The Root Organization's base is originally a place to deal with some "dirty" things.

There are no idea how many people have been interrogated and killed there.

Naturally, a strong negative energy has accumulated.

"It's a pity for this negative energy."

Uzumaki Sukuna sighed with regret.

He came here this time just to send a "big gift" back to Danzo, and did not want to get close and expose his thoughts.

Naturally, he couldn't go over there, so he tried to absorb the negative energy.

After all, the negative energy was not generated by him, so it was not certain whether he could absorb it to improve the template fusion degree.

He looked at the building again, and a hint of madness gradually appeared in his eyes.

For a sorcerer, it was "not normal" to extract the power of cursed energy from negative emotions.

What's more, he was Sukuna Ryomen!

Since Danzo had set his sights on his body and sent people to capture Naruto.

He should give Danzo some surprises.

Uzumaki Sukuna's smile became more and more crazy and evil.

It was time to let these rude ninjas feel despair.

"Zi!!"

The next moment, he burst out with a powerful cursed energy in an instant!

His whole body was flashing with red and black cursed energy.

A terrifying momentum quietly emanated.

Faintly, it seemed as if there was a ghost full of pure malice floating behind Uzumaki Sukuna.

"Let's make a big fuss!"

"Open!"

"Huff!!"

As the voice fell, his left hand slowly moved in the air, and an extremely hot flame appeared in the palm of his hand.

A closer look revealed that the source of the burning flame was the index and middle fingers of his left hand.

He raised his left hand, with two fingers facing forward and the thumb facing down.

He 'pinched' the flame at the fingertips with his right hand and pulled it back like a bow.

An arrow with constantly jumping flames just appeared out of thin air between his hands.

This was exactly the ability he had unlocked before, the technique of controlling flames, 'Open'!

The flames from purgatory!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!!"

At the moment when the flaming arrow appeared, the high temperature it emitted melted the roof under Uzumaki Sukuna's feet at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The fire of purgatory seemed to burn everything to ashes.

"Die."

Uzumaki Sukuna spat out a cold word, his eyes flashing scarlet, murderous intent!

The flaming arrow was aimed at the Root Organization base!

His right hand that was holding the tail of the flaming arrow suddenly loosened the next moment!
