Yukina Uzumaki: "Then what are you going to do with me?"
Danzo: "How about following me?"
Before Uzumaki Kyukina could reply, Kayako jumped up first.
Kayako: "I, I will follow the teacher, is that okay?"
Danzo shook his head: "{root} must be firmly grasped, it can't be done without you."
Kayako: "I can hand over the rights..."
Danzo: "I don't trust other people. {root} is now my eyes and hands. If I lose control of {root}, I will be blind and disabled."
Gaya Coconut: "..."
Kayako no longer knows how to change Danzo's mind, because he can no longer refute the reasons given by Danzo.
After watching the interaction between the two of them, Uzumaki Yukina smiled and suddenly said: "Sister Kayako, Danzo brought me with him because he didn't trust me..."
Danzo did not make any response to Uzumaki Kyuuna's statement.
Kayako shook his head: "It's not..."
Kayako knew that Danzo had given high praise to Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kyuuna from the very beginning.
The most important thing is that Danzo never expects much loyalty from people who join "Root" midway. In Danzo's words: Loyalty is cultivated from childhood, and people who join midway have their own worldview, outlook on life, and values.
It is impossible to be absolutely loyal, you can only be relatively loyal.
Therefore, Danzo never asked those who joined halfway to be loyal to him, but used the method of "exploitation" to make use of each other and get what they needed.
Kayako was sent out of the base by Danzo, leaving only a man, a woman, and a fox who could only talk but not show his face.

The command room of an underground base.
A group of ninjas are watching various fights on the monitor.
"Report, the third peripheral area has fallen, and the enemy has been led to the sixth area."
"Report, the seventh peripheral area has been breached. The enemy has found a way to enter. Please intercept."
"Report, the first peripheral area has been cleared and rearranged, and can be put into battle again."
"Report, there are insufficient mechanical soldiers in the peripheral area 11, please support."
A ninja standing in the center directing the battle calmly watched the various battles on the screen.
The Zhongzhou team, Mr. Yi's team, is exploring the path to the base bit by bit, but what intercepts them is a large number of robots.
These robots are made by the "Root" organization by combining various black technologies in the ninja world, including the steam machinery technology of the Kong Ninja, the chakra armor technology of the Snow Country, the advanced puppet technology of the Wind Country, and the puppet technology of Pain's Six Paths.
The core energy is the chakra storage sealing technique developed by Danzo, which is remotely controlled. Although its adaptability is limited, it is cheaper.
"How far has the evacuation progressed?"
The commanding ninja standing in the middle asked about the evacuation action.
In Danzo's design, each "root" base is handled in a way that retains personnel. The base is just a working place. If it is attacked, it will be replaced. Peripheral robots are used to delay, and the "root" people will attack.
Strategies for location transfer deeper underground.
And deep underground, there is a huge underground network, like a maze, but it extends in all directions. Guided by the marks made by the Ibuli family in advance, they can quickly leave this area.
As for the underground escape network, the Ibuli family has been deepening it. Nowadays, most bases have at least three levels, that is, deeper below the escape network, and there are more complex escape networks leading further away.
"The main researchers and non-combatants have already evacuated, and supplies and some combatants are being evacuated. It is expected that it will take another hour to completely evacuate."
"One hour?" The commanding ninja shook his head. The enemy has already broken through the outer defenses. The internal defenses are not as strong as the outer ones. It is impossible to hold on here for that long. In other words, the enemy must be engaged, and there will be casualties in the engagement.
, this is not something this ninja can decide.
Because this ninja is not the supreme commander here.
A communication was connected, and a voice came from the other side of the communication: "What is disturbing my research?"
"Reporting to Lord Orochimaru, the enemy has entered the base and it will take more than an hour to evacuate. Will you send ninjas to engage the enemy?"
Orochimaru was in a secret laboratory, and three reincarnations were also here, and they also heard the voice in the communicator.
Orochimaru: "The other party is a {foreigner}, you'd better not get involved, I'll deal with it."
As he spoke, Orochimaru stamped his right foot on the ground, and a huge technique stretched out from under Orochimaru's feet. Then with a "boom", everything in the room, including various medical equipment and experimental samples, disappeared instantly.
Orochimaru also has an additional seal scroll in his hand.
This is a high-level seal scroll developed by Danzo. It has its own chakra and can store items. There is no need to replenish chakra for thousands of years.
When Orochimaru left the room, a ninja immediately appeared at the door of the room.
Uchiha leopard horse.
"You three, please follow me. I will take you through a safe passage."
Rebel, Fu-chan, and Rouma looked at each other.
Rebel: "The enemy is attacking, aren't you going to help Orochimaru?"
Uchiha Leopard Horse: "Teacher Orochimaru has his arrangements. My current task is to send the three of them out safely."
Rouma: "I...we can actually..."
Uchiha Leopard Horse directly interrupted what Rouma wanted to say: "{Gen} is much more powerful than you think. Please don't affect my work and come with me!"
Fu-chan stood up directly and responded obediently: "Let's go."
Fou-chan was one of three people, and the one who benefited the most from Orochimaru was logically the one who was most grateful to Orochimaru, so Fou-chan made the decision, and the rebels and Rouma didn't refute too much.
The rebel just snorted coldly, but still followed Uchiha Leopard Horse towards the depths of the base.
————————
Outside Konoha Village, in a dense forest.
A group of "root" ninjas have been searching here for more than three years.
After a carpet-like search, we gradually entered a hidden cave.
In the deepest part of the cave, there is a small lake, or spring.
A ninja immediately stepped forward to check the spring water: "Ordinary spring water is not the mysterious spring water that will not wet clothes. There is no light source in the water."
Another ninja jumped directly into the water and used the water escape ninjutsu. He quickly jumped to the bottom of the lake like a fish.
After a while, someone appeared at the lakeside: "There is a bubble in the waterless area at the bottom of the lake. According to Danzo-sama's instructions, I did not go in."
One of the leading ninja nodded and made a note in his notebook. Five cave springs similar to this "suspected" target location have been found, and they are more or less similar. They basically meet Danzo's requirements for the target location.
Although they didn't know why the higher-ups asked them to find such a place, this exploration team still insisted on completing the search.
Hundreds of Flying Thunder God symbols were plastered all over the cave. Several ninjas were holding firearm-like equipment and shooting at the bubbles under the water.
The bullet in the firearm is a special metal ball with Danzo's Flying Thunder God Technique engraved on the ball.
The balls are shot into the waterless bubbles.
The leading ninja recorded the location, left a "root" mark at the entrance of the cave, blocked the entrance, and quickly left with the team.
