Roots of Naruto

"In order to meet Sasuke, are you aiming at Akatsuki's members with the highest possibility? Well, this method may work." Tsunade sat on the table leisurely in his underwear, if Xiu saw her look, he would frown again Well, it really feels like I haven't seen her for a long time... Sighing silently, Tsunade continued, "But the opponent is Uchiha Itachi, what should we do?"

"I think as long as one of Akatsuki's members can be captured, Mr. Ibiki can ask for information about Itachi." Sakura suggested.

"It is true that I have also ordered the teams to capture Akatsuki's members alive if possible..."

"It's actually quite difficult."

Tsunade froze for a moment, looked up, and saw Kakashi leaning against the door to answer the words.

"They will not reveal information easily, and judging from the members who have fought so far, their abilities are too dangerous, and it is not easy to capture them alive."

"Then what should we do!" Naruto said eagerly.

Kakashi Weidun, "Um... have you considered adding Xiu to help us? It should be a lot easier if she is here."

Tsunade froze for a moment, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by Naruto.

"So that's it! This way the success rate is very high!" Naruto looked excited, but he froze as if remembering something, "But sister Xiu..."

Tsunade pondered for a long while and shook his head, "Let's not talk about the last time, it's very troublesome just to repair Danzo directly, and you have to go through Danzo first to give her an order, and even if that guy agrees, he will set up dangerous tasks Bar."

"Eh?" Naruto was incredulous, "Is sister Xiu from Danzo? That Danzo? No way!"

On the side, Sai frowned, "I have occasionally met that lord, and he is a very dangerous person. If there is no accident, Master Xiu should inherit the root."

Tsunade became serious, and he knew something when he was with Xiu, but he didn't expect to have reached this point. "Sai, tell me in detail."

Sai seemed a little unaccustomed to being the focus, nodded awkwardly and continued: "The relationship between Xiu-sama and Danzo-sama... is actually a bit strange."

"strangeness?"

"Well, Danzo-sama trusts Xiu-sama very much, and Xiu-sama respects Danzo-sama very much, but there is always some disharmony."

"How to say?"

Sai frowned and thought for a while, then said solemnly, "Maybe it's my illusion, but there are two factions within the root, although the two factions are under the command of Lord Danzo... but there is a vague feeling of being divided, which is strange What’s more, Danzo-sama is indifferent to this situation.”

……

After the crowd dispersed, Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and said in a low voice, "It's a bit strange."

Jiraiya nodded, "This situation...is simply preparing for the handover." He looked at Tsunade, and finally said his somewhat difficult judgment, "If Danzo wants to let go, there is only one possibility. ...He wants the seat of Hokage!" Turning his head, he pretended not to see the disbelief in Tsunade's eyes, "If even Sai is aware of it, it means that the action is not far away... Be careful with Shusan."

"...that's impossible!" Tsunade shouted excitedly.

"I don't want to think so either!" Jiraiya looked at her seriously, "I know you trust her a lot, but you are Hokage! Don't be emotional!"

Tsunade sat down on the chair weakly, with tired eyes, "I see..."

Xiu watched Sasuke hand out the scroll of Uchiha Itachi's information location in his hand, and was very satisfied with the calm eyes under his mask.

"Go. By the way, try to weaken Akatsuki as much as possible."

"Hi!"

.

.

.

Seeing Sasuke's leaving figure, Xiu suddenly paused, turned his head and stared at the tree shadow beside him, "Come out!"

After seeing the person coming, Xiu showed a mocking smile, "Master Jiraiya still likes to listen to the corners as always."

Jiraiya had a gloomy expression on his face. He looked in the direction Sasuke left for a long time, then turned his head to stare at Xiu, "The backs of Xiusang's subordinates are very familiar."

"I don't need to explain to you."

Jiraiya took a deep breath, "...it looks like the kid from the Uchiha family."

"You also said it's just like that."

The nonchalant tone made Zilai a little angry, and after carefully looking at the girl in front of him, he suddenly realized that many things had changed, "Xiu, are you going to betray."

Listening to the tone of this statement, Xiu couldn't help grinning, "Ah, this puts a big hat on me, so be careful what you say... Master Ziraiya."

Ji Laiye was startled by the killing intent in his eyes, he quickly became alert and looked at Xiu in disbelief.How did that little girl grow up to be like this?

Seeing Jiraiya's reaction, Xiu was stunned, then put away his murderous aura and apologized slightly, "I overstepped, I'm sorry, Master Ziraiya."

Jilai also frowned, looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar person in front of him, "You have changed... have you found the answer to the question from back then?"

Xiu nodded slightly, "No matter what happens to this cursed world, as long as it doesn't threaten Konoha, what does it have to do with me?"

Ji Lai was also stunned, seemingly speechless for a while, "...It sounds like giving up."

"I just don't have such lofty ambitions. World peace or something is too far away."

Zilai also helplessly spread his hands and smiled, "From this point of view, the task entrusted to me by Immortal Toad really has a long way to go."

"That's why...in order not to die before completing the mission," Xiu turned and left, his face darkened instantly when he turned his head, "If you dare to talk nonsense in front of Tsunade-sama...I will kill you."

Jilai also froze, his expression became serious, how far did Gen's power extend?Can I also get the dialogue in the Naruto office?

.

.

.

Xiu Shishi pinched the two reports from the top of his hand, his knuckles turned white, and his stiff hands made a mark and disappeared into the room.

.

.

.

"Oh, by the way, I will give you one last piece of advice."

"?"

"Be careful with people who are rooted."

"I know that..."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, he turned and left, waved his hand, "Goodbye."

.

.

.

The border of Konoha Village.

"Master Jiraiya."

Ji Lai also paused, looked back slightly startled. "Xiu... sauce?"

Xiu slowly walked out of the shadows, "Please help me, Master Ziraiya."

"...what happened?"

"I hope you can bring Sasuke back."

"What?!" Jiraiya was surprised, was the figure he saw that day really Sasuke?Knowing how deep Naruto's obsession with Sasuke is...he looked gloomy, "What are you planning?"

"Sasuke didn't defect, it was just a special mission I gave him. Speaking of which...it's been a long time since we had a good chat." Xiu turned around, "Would you like to have a drink?"

Ji Lai also slowly digested what he heard, and after a while, he smiled, "Sounds good, we haven't had a drink together for a long time."

.

.

.

Xiu picked up the wine cup and took a sip nostalgic, "It's really been a long time since we sat together like this."

Zilai had no choice but to sit down, he had just left this store not long ago, and came back within a few minutes.

After pondering for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me more about Sasuke?"

"Let's leave him a way out. There were quite a lot of things about Uchiha's family back then. He has already set off to find Itachi. If there is no accident, Uchiha Itachi will die."

"...Why are you so sure?"

"Because he's a good brother... It's hard for him to let Sasuke go when Danzo-sama forced him to do that."

"...What did you say?!" Jiraiya stood up in shock, and looked at Xiu in disbelief. He was not as dull as he appeared on the surface, and he could already guess a lot with just one sentence.

"It was already late when I arrived," Xiu laughed at himself, "but even if it passes by immediately, I will carry out the order."

Jilai also couldn't catch his breath for a long time. After a while, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiu, "Sasuke doesn't know yet? Why didn't you stop him?"

"It's not necessary. After all, Itachi did slaughter all of his people. If he wants to die on the assistant's side, it can be regarded as fulfilling the long-cherished wish of a man whose time is numbered."

Time is running out?Ji Lai was also slightly taken aback, looking at the expressionless Xiu Xu Xu and sighed, "Then what are you looking for me for, and it's just a joke to keep it hidden."

"Uchiha Madara also knows about this, I suspect he will take Sasuke away." Xiu said with a dark face, "I will tell you the time and location agreed with Itachi, you go and bring Sasuke back, I will go to Yu Ninja Village."

"No!" Zilai refused without thinking.

"I have fought against Madara more than once, and the chance of surviving is higher than yours."

"If Uchiha Madara wants to take Sasuke away, he won't be in the rain ninja village at all!"

"As Root's successor, my intelligence network got some interesting news about Chief Xiao, and concluded that you are not suitable for this mission. Of course, this is confidential, so I can't tell you in detail."

"Even if you say so, I can't let you take this risk!"

"Master Ziraiya!" Xiu sternly said.

"...sorry, I got a little excited."

Xiu lowered his eyes wearily, "We are not young people anymore, you understand that ninjas should not be emotional."

Jiraiya smiled wryly, "Tsunate will kill me."

"Don't tell her, besides, you don't have to die." After Xiu handed out a scroll, he leaned back slightly and closed his eyes, "If I don't come back, give this to Sasuke. After everything is arranged, he will be the root successor."

Have you arranged your funeral?Jiraiya's smile became more bitter, he stared at Xiu for a long time, "Tsunade will definitely kill me."
