Konoha Village, the headquarters of Root. Root is located underground in Konoha Village. Darkness is the permanent color of this base. For the ninjas in Konoha Village who know Root, they are very afraid of this place. For them, this place is eternal.
No one wants to step into the bottomless abyss.
Being able to build a huge secret base underground was something Danzo created many years ago. It was built bit by bit when Hiruzen Sarutobi became Hokage. Of course.
It was secret at first, but through Danzo's efforts and the exchange of various powers and interests, it is now a legal institution in Konoha Village.
At this time, Danzo was at Gen's headquarters. He was sitting on a chair and looking at the various information on the table that had been sorted and analyzed by Gen members.
Although Danzo is old, about seventy years old, his desire for control is still as strong as ever. His biggest wish is to become Hokage, and he has not given up until now.
There was a knock on the door.
Danzo said: "Come in!"
A masked root staff member was a direct subordinate of Danzo. He quickly came to Danzo, knelt down on one knee and said to Danzo: "Sir Danzo, Sai who went to the Land of Waves is missing.
Our root exploration found traces of the battle on Daimyo Island. However, his body seems to have been cremated, leaving no clues."
"What?" Danzo said angrily after hearing this: "What a waste. It was in vain that I personally taught him ninjutsu. Did you find anything?"
The root staff began to report the intelligence back to Danzo: "Nothing was found in the battle scene alone. Sai's mission was to meet the Daimyo of the Country of Waves. During our investigation, one person went to meet the Daimyo of the Country of Waves.
"
"Who is it?" Danzo speculated one after another: "Is it Hiruzen's? Or Kirigakure's?"
"No. This person's name is Hirano Ichiro. He was originally a subordinate of the Cardo Group in the Land of Waves. Later, Cardo died, and he took over the Cardo Group and changed its name to the Zhenxing Group. He should also change his name.
Zhang Xuetao." The root staff continued to report.
"Businessman? Why did he go to see the daimyo?" Danzo asked with a frown.
"After information, it seems that he made a deal with the Daimyo of Wave Country. He also bought more than ten pieces of land. He adopted many orphans. According to the information obtained, he is said to have raised orphans in order to work in his company in the future." ANBU personnel recounted what they obtained.
information.
"Are you going to continue investigating him?" the ANBU member prompted.
Danzo pondered for a moment and said: "No, he is just a businessman. There is no need to distract our energy. In addition, go and recall 40% of all the root members who are outside back to Konoha Village."
"Yes." The root staff responded. Then they turned around and left to perform the mission.
As the ANBU personnel left, the space in the room began to become silent again.
After a while, there was another sound, which was the sound of turning the pages of the book. Danzo began to read the information again. If Danzo can become the darkness of Konoha, he also has his own ability. Being a leader is not just his own.
Ability, the most important thing is to collect information at all times and have the ability to process information.
Danzo continued grading from morning to noon.
There was another knock on the door, "Come in." Danzo hurriedly asked him to come in and report the situation. After all, he should be reporting Orochimaru's information at this time.
This root staff hurriedly reported: "Danzo-sama, the staff from all the ninja villages who came to take the junior high school exam have arrived, and Orochimaru has also sneaked into the leaf village. In addition, he left a secret message saying that he will
Meet you."
"Where will we meet? What time?" Danzo asked.
Upon hearing Danzo's question, the root staff member quickly replied: "In the Forest of Death. Tomorrow at noon."
"Well, I understand, you can go out." Danzo asked him to go out after getting the information he wanted.
Danzo did not continue to read the information on the table. Instead, he leaned on crutches and closed his eyes in deep thought, thinking about things with Orochimaru.
He has some close connections with Orochimaru, whether it's his Sharingan transplant or the Wood Release cells injected into the First Hokage.
These are all transactions between him and Orochimaru, and the most recent transaction is the Konoha Collapse Plan. This plan has been planned for a long time, and the reason why it is implemented now is because it is a hit for his own plan.
If you want to become Hokage, you must get the support of others. You cannot rule the entire Konoha by relying on your own Anbu strength alone. For this, you have to pay a lot of benefits.
He was not the only one who wanted Sarutobi Hiruzen killed, but also many family clan leaders in Konoha. Sarutobi Hiruzen's way of governing the village was obviously to suppress ethnic groups and then promote civilian ninjas.
This plan harmed the interests of many families, but because Hiruzen Sarutobi has been Hokage for too long, his power cannot be underestimated, and coupled with the pressure of external wars, all major families are enduring.
But since the emergence of Hyuga Fuzai's sacrifice for the so-called peace, coupled with the subsequent annihilation of the Uchiha clan, the major clan leaders have gradually lost their patience.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi kept trying to find other ways to annihilate the Uchiha clan, these were just his hypocrisy. All the clan leaders knew this very well.
So when he united with them and told them this plan, they readily accepted it. For this reason, he also handed over the talented ninjas in his family to himself to improve his strength. Of course, on the surface, he was coerced by him, but these were all
It was performed for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
After all, if the family's talented ninja is not retained for the family to carry forward, how can it be handed over to him as a pawn. All of this is an exchange of weighing interests.
Moreover, even the three closest followers of the Sarutobi clan, Inorakacho, betrayed him. The Konoha collapse plan was to kill Sarutobi Hiruzen. He had lost all support and was certain to die.
Although he maintains a much younger appearance than Hiruzen, he is still older after all. But the waiting time has finally come to an end.
He really hopes to become Hokage as soon as possible and change the current situation of Konoha Village. Hiruzen's handling method is still too weak.
People from other families would not take action against Hiruzen Sarutobi. All they promised was to turn a blind eye to the matter. When the battle came, they would postpone the opportunity to appear. When Hiruzen Sarutobi died,
Will join the war.
The main force that killed Sarutobi Hiruzen can only be Orochimaru. He is about to go to the front desk. The stain of killing Naruto cannot appear on himself. You can only provide some intelligence help. But in the past, it was through intelligence.
Passed on and did not discuss the matter face to face.
Orochimaru has arrived in Konoha. So we really need to have a face-to-face discussion. We also need to know what Orochimaru's specific plan is.
He also began to imagine that after Hiruzen died, he would become the Fifth Hokage and lead the Leaf Village to prosperity.
At noon the next day, Danzo led two members of the Roots to the Forest of Death. As soon as they arrived at the Forest of Death, they felt
Know where Orochimaru is.
Danzo stretched out his left hand and said to the two root staff behind him: "Just wait here!"
After saying that, he went to see Orochimaru by himself.
Danzo saw Orochimaru and said straight to the point: "What is your plan? How are you going to kill your teacher?"
Orochimaru heard his question and said with his magnetic voice: "The Sand Ninja Village and the Sound Ninja Village will jointly attack. I will use the Reincarnation of the Earth to summon the dead first generation, second generation, fourth generation Hokage and kill the third generation.
The Hokage's."
"Oh~ This is such a big scene! He died in their hands. I think his reputation after death may be even louder than when he was alive! You really chose a good way to die for your teacher."
Danzo said to Orochimaru with some teasing.
"Haha~" Orochimaru smiled evilly and said to Danzo: "Now you can also ascend to the position of Hokage as you wish. But don't forget. I have to take Sasuke away. Don't give it to me.
Prevent."
"Don't worry!" Danzo glanced at his right hand and said, "I don't lack Sharingan. You know this. But You have to deal with Itachi's revenge by yourself."
The two of them had a detailed discussion about how to implement the Konoha collapse plan and exchanged information with each other.
The defense mechanism of a Ninja Village cannot be static. Orochimaru has rebelled against Konoha Village for so long. He also needs to get new defense information about Konoha Village.
After talking for a while, Danzo left.
Orochimaru looked at Danzo's back and thought, Hokage? Unexpectedly, Danzo's desire for power is still so strong. But power is fleeting after all.
The only things in this world that I can strive for are science, ninjutsu, and endless knowledge. But to get these, I need eternal life. I want to live forever.
Suddenly the wind blew in the woods, and a few leaves were flying in the air.
Orochimaru looked at the leaves blown by the wind, and thought in his mind: Although he wants to live forever, he can still find some interesting things before that. The surface of this world is now calm, but deep down there are undercurrents.
Especially the Akatsuki organization, their leader actually possesses the Samsara Eye, and their mission is also to capture the tailed beasts. They must have a big conspiracy.
Moreover, the Akatsuki organization is still lurking, and I, Orochimaru, am the initial wind that brings this undercurrent of the ninja world to the surface.
A single move affects the whole body, Konoha's collapse plan, and the death of the Third Hokage. I think these major events should be enough.
Just let me, Orochimaru, see what interesting things will happen in this ninja world! Hahaha!
On the way back to Gen's headquarters, Danzo had a gloomy look on his face. He originally thought that Orochimaru was just assassinating Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he didn't expect that he actually united two ninja villages to attack Konoha.
Orochimaru seemed to want to kill his teacher for revenge, but in the end, it was to fulfill his wisdom. If Sarutobi Hiruzen continued to hang out, he would definitely not get a good reputation. But this death, he died in two ninja villages.
Under the attack of the Hokage, he died in the hands of successive Hokages in order to save the lives of the whole village. His story will be spread throughout the ninja world.
But what's the matter? Isn't the left and right still dead? I, Danzo, will definitely be more famous than you, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Danzo turned to the people behind him and said: "Go and tell the clan leaders that in the Chunin Finals, Suna Ninja Village and Sound Ninja will attack Konoha at the same time, so that they can prepare in advance. In addition, the root members are closely monitoring the entire Konoha Village and waiting.
