Danzo returned to the underground base at the root with a gloomy look on his face. Recalling the smug look on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face just now, the anger in his heart couldn't help but surge up.

"Damn monkey, you actually looked down on me in front of Xiaochun and Men Yan!"

"snort!"

The phrase 'I am the Hokage' echoed in his mind again and again, and Danzo became angrier and angrier.

The group photo of Tobirama's class was placed on the table, and the proud smile of Sarutobi Hiruzen looked even more dazzling in Danzo's eyes at this moment.

"Yes! You're right!"

"You are a leaf bathed in the sun, and I am just a root buried in the darkness!"

"Hiruzen, since you want to maintain your glorious image as Hokage, don't blame me for using other means!"

A hint of gloom flashed in Danzo's eyes, and he shouted into the darkness.

"Somebody come!"

Several root ninjas appeared from the darkness in an instant, half-kneeling in front of Danzo.

"Lord Danzo!"

Danzo looked at the few root ninjas in front of him who were not the strongest but jounin. He felt a little disappointed and at the same time, he felt even more resentful towards Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hmph! All the talents and resources belong to you, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and I can only pick up the rest!"

"Just because you are Hokage"

"One day. One day."

Danzo temporarily suppressed this thought that he had never forgotten in his mind and calmed down a little.

"The Nine Tails has been transferred from the seal to Uzumaki Kushina's body, and the former Jinchuriki Uzumaki Mito will die soon!"

"Send someone to keep an eye on the Thousand Hands Clan. If there is any trouble, report it immediately!"

"yes!"

The two black figures accepted the order, bowed respectfully, and disappeared with two whooshing sounds.

"How are the newcomers that have been absorbed into the Roots recently doing? Are there any particularly outstanding seedlings?"

"Return to Danzo-sama!"

"Among the top students who have graduated from ninja schools in recent years, except for ninjas from major families, there are very few civilian ninjas who have performed well."

Danzo's eyes turned cold as he stared at the Gen nin who spoke out.

"not even one?"

Gen Ren could feel the glare on his back, his body couldn't help but tremble, and he quickly explained.

"have!"

"One of the genin who graduated with Kushina Uzumaki and Minato Namikaze is a girl named Yakushi Nonou, who has a very outstanding talent as a medical ninja."

"My subordinates also spent a lot of effort before she was willing to join the Roots and serve Danzo-sama!"

Danzo's expression softened slightly.

"A kunoichi with medical talents?"

"Forget it! Let's train her into a spy-type ninja! As a woman, she can better detect intelligence for the root!"

"yes!"

"What about Minato Namikaze, who was at the same time as Uzumaki Kushina? Why didn't he recruit him into the root as well?"

Nagen Shinobu hesitated for a moment, raised his head and glanced at Danzo's eyes that started to become unfriendly again. He felt excited in his heart and replied cautiously:

"grown ups!"

"The Third Hokage has always been concerned about Minato Namikaze. His subordinates sent people to contact him, but they were stopped by Hokage's ANBU."

"And a few days ago, Jiraiya of the Sannin, the disciple of the Third Lord, has accepted Namikaze Shuito as his disciple."

When Danzo heard this, he became extremely angry. He kicked the root ninja away and cursed loudly:

"waste!"

"Why can't you inform me first and act faster?"

"Why Hiruzen again?"

Danzo angrily sat down on the chair and smashed Tobirama's class photo to pieces.

"Keep looking for me. If you can't find it among the civilians, just look for it among the families!"

"Yanaka, Aburame, these families all have some friendship with me, go and find out if there are any suitable candidates who can join the root!"

"If you don't find enough geniuses for me, and only rely on trash like you, when will I be able to replace Sarutobi Hiruzen and become the new Hokage!"

Genren knelt on the ground in fear and accepted this somewhat difficult task.

Danzo didn't care if his subordinates would feel embarrassed. He snorted and threw away his sleeves and left the office.

"Biliuhu!"

"I agree to your request!"

Danzo found Beiliu's research room, looked at Beiliu who was busy on the experimental bench, and said in a deep voice.

There was a trace of ridicule in Beiliuhu's eyes, and he continued the movements of his hands without looking back.

"oh?"

"What request is Master Danzo talking about?"

Danzo snorted coldly.

"snort!"

"In this joint chuunin selection, I will arrange you to join the Anbu security force. You can find a suitable blood successor ninja on your own to complete your Onigaura technique!"

There was a hint of joy on Beiliu's face, and he turned his head to look at Danzo.

"Danzo-sama made a wise decision!"

"As long as I can complete the Kiyara Jutsu, Danzo-sama's request, I will definitely do it!"

Danzo looked at Biruhu's bandaged body with a trace of disgust in his eyes.

"I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Senju clan land, Uzumaki Mito's room.

Seeing the sudden fall of the rope tree, Uzumaki Mito, who was observing his young body, was startled and hurriedly helped him to the bed.

After carefully checking Shengshu's body, he found that he was just unconscious, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Outside the room, Tsunade, who was carrying Kushina back to the Senju clan, was shocked by what she saw.

Grandma's room was tightly sealed with wood, and you could even see branches and flowers growing in some places.

"Grandma! Rope tree!"

"Are you guys okay?"

Mito, who was looking at the rope tree, heard Tsunade's call and hurriedly responded.

"Tsunade, grandma is fine! It's just that the rope tree overdrawn its chakra and fainted."

"Come in yourself!"

Tsunade felt a little strange when she heard Mito's angry voice. But when I heard the news that Sheng Shu had fainted, I immediately became anxious.

He created a shadow clone and handed Kushina in his arms into the arms of the shadow clone.

Tsunade kicked the door, and the ordinary wooden door outside shattered, but the wooden wall formed by a layer of wood inside remained intact.

Tsunade was stunned and her brows suddenly furrowed. The strange power was inspired from his fist, and he punched the wall formed by Mu Dun.

"Crack!"

A big hole was opened in the wooden wall under the attack of strange power. Tsunade ducked in while the shadow clone followed closely behind and entered the room holding Kushina.

"Grandma, how you look"

Tsunade looked at the young Mito and opened her mouth in surprise.

Mito waved his hand and glanced at Naoki lying on the bed.

"It's because of this kid, Shengshu, who said he would save me no matter what the cost."

"I don't know how he did it, but as soon as grandma opened her eyes, she became like this!"

Tsunade looked at her grandmother, who was even younger than herself, and couldn't help but admire her brother's abilities.

"I didn't expect the rope tree to have such an ability! Grandma, how is he doing now?"

After all, Mito was much more experienced than Tsunade, so he quickly adapted to the changes in his body and glanced worriedly at the traces caused by the wooden escape in the room.

"Tsunade, Naoki must have just passed out."

"The trouble now is how to erase the traces caused by these wooden escapes, in case someone comes over and sees the rope tree."

Tsunade was shocked, but also came to her senses, looked at the tables, chairs and furniture that had grown leaves, and nodded to Mito.

"Grandma, don't worry, leave it to me!"

After Tsunade said that, she quickly formed a psychic seal with her hands. Under the infusion of a large amount of chakra, a burst of white smoke rose up.

"Psychic art!"

The huge slugs were directly channeled into the room along with the smoke, and the wooden room was suddenly squeezed into pieces.

"Oops! I'm sorry, Tsunade-sama! I didn't mean to destroy the house!"

Mito pinched his waist and looked at Tsunade angrily.

"Tsunade-chan, is this your method?"

Tsunade waved her hands indifferently and told the slug:

"Slug, don't worry about the house. I channeled you out of the room on purpose!"

"Help me use the slime to corrode all the wooden things here without leaving any traces!"

Upon hearing Tsunade's order, the slug squirmed and enveloped the entire house, and began to secrete mucus on the plants grown by the wood escape.

The four tentacles on its head swung cheerfully twice, obviously very interested in the vitality contained in Wood Escape.

"Wow! Such rich vitality! I love it!"

"Master Noden Tree's wood escape power is really powerful!"

Genbu, who received Danzo's order, just arrived at the Senju clan's land and saw a huge slug appear.

"Go back and tell Lord Danzo that Tsunade channeled the slug and wants to cure the previous Jinchuuriki!"

"yes!"

The other root ninja quickly disappeared into the shadows and returned to the root to report to Danzo.

When Danzo saw the Gen-nin who had returned to report the news, his eyes showed doubts.

"Huh? Why are you back so soon?"

"Did you find anything?"

The Gennin replied: "Danzo-sama, Tsunade channeled a slug in the Senju clan, and it seems that she wants to treat the injuries of the previous Jinchuuriki!"

Danzo heard the report with a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"snort!"

"How naive! There's no way a Jinchūriki could survive if his tailed beast was stripped away!"

"Don't worry about her, she's just doing useless work!"

"Go back and keep watching. If you have any news, report it immediately!"

"yes!"
