After the second generation Hokage Senju Tobirama learned of this, he made certain improvements here, added some building facilities, and placed the ANBU headquarters here.
By the time of the third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, considering that the village had not suffered any irresistible invasion for so many years, and that most of the ANBU's work was concentrated on the surface, Sarutobi Hiruzen moved out of the ANBU headquarters and kept this secret
The base was left to Danzo to train new ANBU members.
Then Danzo talked about the history of the root.
In the name of training Anbu, Danzo created the Roots and gradually absorbed Anbu members to expand the power of the Roots.
Sarutobi Hiruzen realized that he was being poached and warned Danzo about this. However, he considered that Danzo was also working for Konoha and had been friends for so many years, so he just gave Danzo a beating.
, and did not order the roots to disband.
Danzo understood what Sarutobi Hiruzen meant, and his move to recruit ANBU members slowed down, as if he really planned to train ANBU for Sarutobi Hiruzen wholeheartedly.
But in fact, Danzo's ambition was not extinguished for a moment, and the ANBU refused to budge, so he set his sights on the potential ninjas in the village.
Those who can use power to force them to submit will be forced to absorb them; those who have leverage will be intimidated and threatened; those who are ambitious will be lured with heavy profits.
Danzo used all kinds of methods, and the power of the roots became stronger and stronger. In order not to be suppressed by Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo took the initiative to do the dirty work for him. Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi acquiesced to the roots.
exist.
As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen had to consider his own reputation, and it was inevitable to cherish his feathers, so it became necessary to exchange interests with Danzo. After all, politics is a kind of compromise.
Danzo had nothing to hide from Lei Luo and spoke out some key points openly. Lei Luo gradually understood the distribution of power among the upper echelons of Konoha. At the same time, Lei Luo was also thinking about what Danzo had told him.
The purpose of the words.
Seeing the thoughtful look on Lei Luo's face, Danzo just smiled slightly without any intention of explaining. The two parties walked through the corridor, entered a large conference room, and sat down on both sides of the long table.
The long-awaited negotiations have officially begun.
After Lei Luo and Danzo exchanged words, both of them quickly understood the other's request.
There are five main specific conditions for Lei Luo to join the roots:
First of all, Danzo needs to negotiate with Hiruzen Sarutobi so that Lei Luo can be transferred from the ANBU to the root smoothly without arousing the suspicion of Hiruzen Sarutobi in the process. In the future, Danzo will provide shelter for Lei Luo to prevent
Other Konoha higher-ups are looking for trouble.
Secondly, Danzo must unconditionally provide ninjutsu resources to Lei Luo, allow Lei Luo to view the Book of Sealing, and make all preparations for Lei Luo's practice. For example, a separate training room, training equipment, precious medicinal materials, and capable
A high-level root ninja used for training.
Third, Lei Luo's position in the root should be above all the root ninja, only waiting for Danzo's dispatch.
Fourth, Danzo must not harm Lei Luo by any means or for any reason, otherwise Lei Luo has the right to fight back.
Fifth, the archives of Root are fully open to Lei Luo, and Lei Luo has the authority to access all the information collected by Root.
The above five items are the more important links that Lei Luo can think of for the time being. Danzo only raised some objections to the second and fifth items.
"There are many Ninjutsu collected at the root, among which C-level and B-level Ninjutsu are available for you to check. But most of A-level and S-level Ninjutsu are in the Book of Sealings." Danzo spoke calmly and explained the reason:
"Even if I want to access the Book of Sealings, I need a legitimate reason. There are not many forbidden arts that can be copied each time. I don't need to tell you the value of these forbidden arts, so you must perform meritorious service in exchange."
Lei Luo narrowed his eyes and said with an evil tone in his tone: "I think you won't try to prevaricate me like Sarutobi Hiruzen did? You must also know the reason why I took refuge in you."
"I'm different from that guy Hiruzen. I never skimp on resources to train capable subordinates. But first, you must show your ability and value. This can't be summed up by just being able to fight." Danzo insisted.
The bottom line is to not give in even an inch. "But don't worry, as long as you can always satisfy me, I will not be stingy in the slightest, whether it is the Sealed Book or other precious resources."
"Many of the various secret treasures of the ninja world collected by the roots are beyond your imagination."
Danzo knew very well what attracted Lei Luo to him. Because of this, he would never hand over all his chips at once, thereby completely losing the initiative in negotiations.
Lei Luo didn't reply for the time being. He leaned back and leaned on the chair behind him, closing his eyes and thinking about the pros and cons.
If he suddenly made a move here, he would be at least 70% sure of capturing Danzo alive, and then use the teleportation technique to read the memory.
But the risk of doing this is: Lei Luo is not sure how many forbidden techniques Danzo has memorized. If the number is too small, it will be completely outweighed by the gain, which is equivalent to killing the goose to obtain the egg. No matter whether he kills Danzo or lets Danzo go, it will not be worth it.
Ye couldn't stay any longer.
Forget it, just agree to Danzo's conditions.
At least the other party knew his true strength. Danzo could not compare with Hokage in terms of strength and power. I understand that this old guy did not dare to play tricks in front of him.
In just a moment, Lei Luo opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze instantly focused on Danzo: "Okay, I will accept this condition in exchange for high-level resources by performing meritorious services."
Danzo breathed a subtle sigh of relief, and then brought up the fifth item: "The root archives involve many secrets of Konoha. I can allow you to access most of the intelligence information, but there are some things that only high-level officials can master.
"
Lei Luo is right about this. Anyway, he proposed this just to use Gen's intelligence channels to understand some things in the ninja world and see if there are any good things worth picking up by himself. Regarding Konoha, Chen Zhizhi is rotten
Lei Luo himself had no interest in millet matters.
Seeing that the conditions were agreed upon, Danzo began to explain to Lei Luo the responsibilities he needed to perform.
Basically, they are all old-fashioned rules: for example, you must not betray Konoha, you must not betray Gen, you must not reveal Gen's situation to the outside world, you must not spread forbidden ninjutsu to outsiders, you must not disobey orders without justifiable reasons, etc.
Danzo didn't make any excessive demands, probably because he knew it would be useless if he did. A ninja of Lei Luo's level naturally has his own arrogance. Now that the other party is willing to follow him, Danzo is already satisfied.
After such a period of contact, Danzo was able to figure out a bit of Lei Luo's temperament: although the other party was not very old, he was extremely mature in his words and deeds. He saw problems to the point and made decisions resolutely.
Lei Luo doesn't have the youthful innocence of a young man. When negotiating with him, everything involved is a matter of interest, such as the justice of the village or the will of fire. Lei Luo has no interest at all.
Danzo actually didn't resent this. After all, Lei Luo had a clear purpose and only cared about profit. This was much easier to control than those strong men with ideals.
But Lei Luo also has many shortcomings: for example, he has a strong personality, has a bad temper, and wants to shout and kill if he is slightly dissatisfied. (When talking about the second article, Danzo was keenly aware of Lei Luo's malice towards him)
But overall, Danzo was very happy to have recruited such a master so easily.
In order to get Lei Luo to return to his heart as soon as possible, Danzo decided to give him some benefits. He took out a scroll from his arms and threw it to Lei Luo who was sitting across the long table.
"This is?" Lei Luo did not rush to open the scroll, but looked at Danzo in confusion.
Danzo seemed to say casually: "The art of multiple shadow clones. I think your shadow clones are very powerful. If the number can be increased, it must be able to effectively improve your strength."
"It's somewhat useful..." Lei Luo curled his lips. This technique was actually not of much use to him, but it could be used in practice. He opened the scroll, glanced at it, and commented without saltiness: "It can
It makes me more efficient at cleaning up trash fish.”
"This is my sincerity." Danzo didn't care about Lei Luo's attitude and said to himself: "Multiple shadow clones are A-level ninjutsu. If it were Hiruzen, he wouldn't be able to take it out so easily."
"So, Lei Luo..." Danzo's expression showed a rare sincerity. "I wish us a happy cooperation in the future."
Lei Luo looked away from the scroll, nodded slightly and said: "Okay, Danzo."
