In the huge underground building, the sun casts a beam of light from the top patio.
"What a rare visitor, Hiruzen. This is your first time here since the last time you came to ask for someone!"
A gloomy voice sounded from the darkness.
Following the rhythmic footsteps, a figure slowly walked out of the stairs into the falling sunshine.
It was a gloomy old man wearing a white robe, with bandages on his forehead and right eye, and two cross scars on his chin.
"This time we won't care about who wants to be transferred to ANBU, right?"
The gloomy old man squinted his eyes and said with a smile.
"You are still worried about Yamato, Danzo!"
Another figure walked into the sunshine while talking. This person was wearing a royal robe and a Hokage hat. He was none other than Sarutobi Hiruzen, the third Hokage of Konoha.
"Yamato? Oh, did Tenzo change his name to this when he entered ANBU! It's really ordinary!"
Shimura Danzo glanced at Sarutobi Hiruzen, then held on to the railing and looked down at everything here.
"That child is not suitable for the root organization, and forcing him to do so will only waste his talents."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly, and then he walked to Shimura Danzo and stood side by side with him.
"Hmph, I don't want to talk too much about the past. Just tell me the purpose of your coming here. Hokage-sama has many things to do, so he shouldn't come to talk to me specially!"
"I came to you because something makes me uneasy."
"What makes you uneasy? The Great Ninja War is over, what else can make you, Sarutobi Hiruzen, uneasy?"
Danzo was surprised for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and his expression suddenly became even more ugly.
"Don't be so sullen, Danzo, I don't mean you when I say uneasy!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand gently.
"There is news from the Anbu from the Bear Country that the Sand Ninja and the Mist Ninja have decided to establish an alliance."
"Isn't this expected? Why do you feel uneasy?"
Danzo frowned and didn't take it seriously.
"The uneasiness I'm talking about is not the content of the message, but the way this information is delivered."
Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Danzo solemnly.
"I think you should be aware of the things that have been making a lot of noise recently, right?"
Danzo was slightly startled and said uncertainly:
"Are you talking about the art of infinite interconnection?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded and said:
"That's right, I'm talking about the art of infinite interconnection! The spread of this art makes me feel uneasy."
"Do you know when the ANBU passed the news back?"
Without waiting for Danzo to answer, Sarutobi Hiruzen continued:
"Just now, Team Ibiki discovered the actions of Suna Ninja and Mist Ninja, and was ambushed and seriously injured."
"What just happened happened across half of the Fire Country, nearly two thousand kilometers away. In such a short period of time, all the detailed information was placed on my desk."
Danzo was silent for a while after hearing this, then sighed and stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen,
"Sarutobi, you are really old and your mentality is old. Whenever something you don't understand appears, you start to feel uneasy..."
"Idiot!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted and interrupted Danzo directly.
"Don't you understand yet? I'm uneasy either because I don't understand it, or because I know that technique too well, so I'm uneasy!"
"This is an unprecedented way of transmitting information. It is hidden and fast. It can even be called interesting. Almost no one can resist its temptation!"
"You must know that mastering the transmission of information means mastering the right to speak. Whether it is directly or indirectly, this technique can be said to control the behavior of ninjas to a certain extent."
"This is a very huge hidden danger. Now it seems that it only provides long-term convenience, but in the long run, it will definitely change the thinking of ninjas!"
"When the ninja's thoughts are not controlled, the ninja's loss of control will become inevitable!"
"When the time comes, it will be a catastrophe, and the Ninja World War will become nothing more than this, and the tragedy of the Warring States Period is likely to reappear!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was low and his eyes were solemn.
After the establishment of the Ninja Village system, they are the only old people who know anything about the Warring States Period.
The younger generation always doesn't take things seriously in history, and many people even don't pay attention to the achievements of the first Hokage in quelling troubled times.
Only those who understand the truth know how great Senju Hashirama is!
There is a huge difference between the Warring States Period and the Ninja Village Era. Let’s not talk about other things, just talk about the population. In the sixty years since the establishment of the one-country-one-village system, the population of the Ninja world has increased by more than ten times!
"It's just a technique, how can it be so serious?"
Danzo Shimura was a little surprised. At first he felt that Hiruzen Sarutobi was making a fuss out of a molehill, but after thinking about it carefully, it made sense.
The Ninja Village's control over ninjas lies in the indoctrination of ideas, and the spread of the infinite Internet is indeed more likely to affect a person's way of thinking than the traditional education in the Ninja Village.
Shimura Danzo asked: "Sarutobi, what are you going to do?"
The best way to solve problems is of course to solve the people who caused the problems, but there is no trace of the managers behind Infinite Internet. They only have force and it is useless to find the people who need to be solved!
"The spread of infinite interconnection is difficult to suppress, so I think it is better to unblock it than to block it..."
"You mean?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen nodded,
"Since there is one infinite Internet, then naturally there can be a second one!"
"As long as we do better than Infinite Internet, the right to speak will always be in our hands. Even if problems do arise, we can actively check and balance, instead of being passive like now!"
With a slight snort, Danzo lowered his eyelids and said:
"If you want to imitate the infinite Internet to develop new technologies, you should go to the research department, not me!"
"No, only you can do this kind of thing!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't care about Danzo's rejection and continued:
"In the village, if you want to say who has the most in-depth research on infinite interconnection, it must be you. Since the last update manager announced some of the principles of infinite interconnection, I think you must have done a lot of experiments...
."
"Is there someone at your root?"
Danzo did not refute, but his expression became dangerous, and his anger was firmly suppressed in his eyes.
That's right, since the Infinite Internet appeared in Konoha, he has become extremely interested in this ninjutsu.
His men have indeed done a lot of experiments on unlimited Internet, and not long ago, there was some progress.
Someone under his command betrayed him!
This is what Danzo is thinking in his heart at this moment. His experiment is so secret that even the Hokage cannot know the inside story!
"I don't need to put anyone in the root. I am the Hokage of Konoha, and naturally I am also the Hokage of the root!"
"Actually, I don't know that you have studied the art of infinite interconnection. The reason why I say this is just to test based on my understanding of you!"
"The result is as I expected. Since you have already started, the task of replicating the art of infinite interconnection is left to you!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled. He knew Shimura Danzo very well. Facts have proved that it is not unreasonable that he can become Hokage, while Danzo is just the leader of the 'root' tribe.
Danzo Shimura clung to the fence and never said a word of rejection.
"Through contracts to establish connections and gather chakra, the so-called managers are really geniuses, but what should be used as a carrier for the gathered chakra, and how do those functions work?"
Danzo thought about the report given by his previous subordinates. He was really not good at developing techniques.
Besides, since he is in a high position, it is impossible for him to do this kind of thing himself.
"There are still too few talents..."
When he thought of Tenzo, no, Yamato, whom Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to go to before, he became a little angry.
Mu Dun, what an excellent experimental product he was, to actually become an ANBU, what a waste!
Naturally, professional things should be left to professionals!
His subordinates' research on the art of infinite interconnection has been making little progress, and a pale figure emerged in Danzo Shimura's mind.
