After sighing with emotion, the Third Hokage ordered the ANBU to establish martial law nearby and began to read the diary carefully.
The log recorded in detail the process of developing the first-generation cells. Some of the details made the third generation frown deeply. The roots of Danzo's subordinates were darker than he imagined. The measures he took to develop forbidden techniques were worse than those of Orochimaru.
Even more crazy.
It can be said that for every progress in the development process, experimental subjects have sacrificed their lives for it.
However, what interested him more than the crimes Danzo had committed was what was mentioned in the diary, a near-perfect transplantation plan that would allow the first-generation cells to be perfectly integrated into the body as long as seeds were planted in the body.
Unfortunately, Danzo's body was too damaged to complete the final experiment.
Finally, it was mentioned that the transplantation of first-generation cells has made his body ten or twenty years younger.
Everything recorded in this diary is undoubtedly a great temptation for the third generation. Strengthening the body, restoring youth, and driving the Mu escape blood inheritance.
He could still ignore the other three generations, but faced with the temptation of regaining his youth, he hesitated...
His old body not only reduced his physical fitness, but also greatly reduced his reaction ability, which was undoubtedly fatal for a ninja.
Being ten or twenty years younger, not to mention defeating the leader of the Akatsuki organization, there is still no problem in self-protection.
But to plant that seed that seems to be of unknown origin, are Danzo's various weird behaviors in recent times really not related to it?
It doesn't look like a good thing to have someone who has lived in darkness for a long time appear at the front desk.
From this series of events, Sandai smelled the smell of conspiracy.
But the change in Danzo's character tends to be that of the first generation. The first generation is the figure that he and Danzo have admired since they were children. He calmed down the troubled times and founded the Ninja Village. Everything about it made people excited.
With complicated emotions, the third generation returned to the Hokage Building and sealed off the roots.
The root ninjas have mastered too many secrets of the village, and the details of the wood escape experiment must not be disclosed to the public, at least until twenty or thirty years later.
Soon, the third generation convened an impromptu meeting. All the people attending the meeting were direct descendants of the Hokage, only a few people.
Two old friends, Koharu Koharu and Mito Kabuto, as well as his students Tsunade and Jiraiya...
After a quick glance, Sandai discovered Jiraiya's flaw, so he asked Tsunade: "Jiraiya, where did he go? Did he go to collect material for a novel again?"
"That's not true. During this time, he was instructing Kakashi to practice senjutsu," Tsunade denied, then looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said, "Old man, do you have anything to do with Jiraiya?"
"It has nothing to do with Jiraiya," Sandai paused for a moment and said, "But there is something I need to trouble you, Tsunade!"
"Is it about medical ninjutsu?"
Tsunade was a little curious. The old man usually wouldn't ask her about medical ninjutsu.
The third generation nodded and said in a solemn tone: "I plan to transplant the cells of the first generation, so I need Tsunade's assistance in medical treatment."
As soon as these words came out, Tsunade frowned, and the two consultants next to her also said: "Hiruzhan, you are so old, and you are the Hokage, and Danzo's example is still before you."
As they talked, they strongly opposed the third generation's plan to transplant first-generation cells.
Although they are not satisfied with the Third Hokage, there is currently no suitable Hokage candidate. Konoha needs a stable Hokage so as not to destabilize the situation in the village.
Although the three generations and Minato were in a stable state before, Minato encountered an accident and is still under the control of Orochimaru.
The third generation pondered for a long time before saying: "Just now, Danzo died, and the plan to transplant the cells of the first generation of adults has been completed by him and is approaching maturity."
"Danzo, is he...dead?" The consultant duo changed slightly and fell into a sentimental mood.
Tsunade was also stunned, but quickly recovered from the surprise, frowning and said: "Old man, can you show me the plan for a few times?"
"Okay, you might as well take a look."
Tsunade took the diary and after browsing it for a few times, her face gradually became gloomy.
This plan was not unreliable. On the contrary, Tsunade could not find any flaws in it. Except for the fact that the chakra amount of the person who needed to undergo the operation met the standard, it was almost perfect.
After thinking carefully for a while, Tsunade said: "Old man, there is nothing wrong with this plan, but if I really need to perform surgery, I need to prepare a few days in advance."
After meeting the number one medical ninja in the ninja world and confirming it, the two consultants were finally relieved.
But another extremely important thing was quickly brought up, "Hiruzhan, the root of Danzo, who do you plan to let take over? Kakashi? Or other outstanding ninjas in the village?"
"The roots are part of the Anbu. Today's village no longer needs the existence of the roots."
Putting his hands on the table, the Third Hokage said matter-of-factly.
At this time, he could not even choose the next Hokage, and he was no longer able to choose the leader of the Roots, which itself was a subordinate organization of the ANBU.
Now that Danzo is dead, there is no need for the roots to continue to exist.
As for who should take over the dark side of the village, it can only return to the Hokage. The darkness that was stripped away from the Hokage will eventually return to him, the Third Hokage.
Maybe in the future, the darkness will let the leader of the ANBU do it for him, but the roots will forever become history.
…
Konoha territory, somewhere in a forest used for training.
Kakashi was walking on foot in this uninhabited land where ferocious beasts were infested, using the Sharingan under his eye patch to observe any clues nearby.
While practicing here with Master Jiraiya, he accidentally encountered traces of chakra. No matter what was hidden here, as a jounin of Konoha, he could not ignore it.
After a patient search, Kakashi found a series of footprints. He quickly formed seals with his hands, channeled a group of ninja dogs, pointed to the footprints and ordered: "Parker, where are they?"
The ninja dog named Parker sniffed for a while and then got into a nearby bush.
Upon seeing this, Kakashi quickly followed. The ninja dog's sense of smell was trustworthy and he never made a mistake.
Soon, Kakashi heard the barking of dogs in the distant forest, and then there was a shout: "How come there are dogs here! Don't bite me, don't bite me..."
Hearing this voice, Kakashi felt inexplicably familiar and quickly used the teleportation technique.
The next moment, Kakashi saw a yellow-haired boy and the ninja dog Parker biting his trousers, with shocked expressions on their faces.
That boy was none other than Naruto, the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki of the village whom he had watched grow up.
