Chapter 45: Danzo
Yuki did things without hesitation.
Since he wanted to bring the armour back and knock on the roots, he quickly organized people to go there personally after understanding the roots' intelligence.
In addition to himself and the Shadow Guards, he brought four small Dark Group teams.
In addition to strengthening the momentum, there was also to prevent Danzo from thinking too much and jumping over a wall.
After all, the latter was a case where they planned to assassinate the third generation.
In any case, it was the base of Root, so who knew if there would be any forbidden sealing techniques like the Kiki Monster that would kill both of them.
Although he was powerful, he still needed to be on guard.
"Lord Hokage, we're here."
After a while, a ninja from the Dark Group who had investigated the Root spoke up, and then he led everyone to a place under the shade of a tree.
This place didn't seem strange to the surroundings, but another ninja from the Dark Group formed a seal with his hands and undid the sealing barrier that covered the ears of the people. Soon, a metal door deep underground appeared in everyone's field of vision.
"Go in!"
After Yuki finished speaking, he immediately opened the door and entered.
The others followed closely behind.
"Who is it?"
"Stop!"
Very quickly, the sound of the Root Ninjas guarding the iron gate could be heard, and even the sound of unsheathed swords could be heard from the iron gate.
However, when they heard the words "Lord Hokage", especially when they saw the face of Lord Hokage and Yuki, they instantly stopped their thoughts of attacking.
Although they had joined Root and swore loyalty to Danzo, they knew that they were Ninjas of Konoha, so they naturally did not dare to be presumptuous in the face of the Hokage.
Of course, this was under the circumstance that Danzo was not willing to attack.
If the other side really did this, these brainwashed Root members would not hesitate to attack him.
Because in their eyes, Danzo was the real leader of Konoha.
Just like now, even if these Root Ninjas didn't dare to stop Yuki, the way they surrounded him was very different from the Konoha Ninjas that Yuki had seen before.
Looking at this, Yuki sneered.
It was true. As the shadow of a village, his own people treated him as an enemy. They would laugh their teeth off if the other four villages heard this.
With a grim face, Yuki led the group of Dark Group deeper in.
Soon, they came to a huge underground well.
On the suspended steel bridge that connected all directions, the owner of the Root, Danzo, was holding a walking stick, quietly waiting there with a large group of people.
Yuki strode forward and waved his hand, and the Dark Group Ninjas behind him quickly spread out and occupied the favourable terrain.
In this way, one side was the Anbu, who mainly wore animal masks, and the other was the Root Ninjas, with more colourful masks.
The two faintly confronted each other, and there was a kind of atmosphere of mutual hostility.
In this kind of silence, Danzo, who the sudden arrival of Yuki had caught off guard, maintained a calm expression on his face. He took a few steps forward with his walking stick and said in a low voice, "Fourth Generation Chief suddenly visited Root Base. What can I do for you?"
This was the first time that Yuki had met this famous Ninja. After looking at his right eye and right arm wrapped in white cloth, he smiled faintly and said, "As the Hokage, I naturally understand everything about Konoha. Root is a training machine under the Anbu, so there should be no problem for me to take a look. In addition, as a member of Konoha's consultant team, as a junior, I should also take the initiative to pay a visit."
Danzo took a deep look at Yuki and said, "I have been busy all this time, and I have no time to care about it, but let the 4th take the initiative to come."
"It's fine. I've been bored staying in the office all this time. I can relax when I come out more often." Yuki smiled and said,
He looked around and sighed, "The base at Root is indeed extraordinary. It seems Elder Danzo has put a lot of effort into this area! I wonder if Elder Danzo is free now. Lead me around here. When I go back, I can let the Dark Group learn from me."
"Since Fourth Generation Chief said so, this old man is naturally willing to cooperate."
Danzo did not refuse. He knew that he could not be sent away with just a few words since Yuki had come here.
Although he did not know the true purpose of the other party's trip, he was not afraid of the former seeing anything after he had already prepared for all the inappropriate things in Root.
Thus, in the following time, Danzo held a walking stick and led Yuki around like a real tour guide.
After that, just as Danzo had said, Root Ninjas were very serious about dealing with the traces. Along the way, Yuki did not find anything wrong.
But he didn't care at all.
When he came here this time, his goal had never been those illegal experiments or materials, but living people!
Danzo could move away from the experiments, but for people, especially the youth who had accidentally obtained Wood Style, he had always brought him with him.
Although the latter could not display the full power of Wood Style, when he truly grew up, he could also become a well-known figure in superior Ninja.
Danzo, who had suffered heavy losses in Land of Rain, naturally would not let go of this good seedling. He had to be carefully nurtured by his side.
Therefore, during this period of time, instead of saying that Yuki was observing the base, it was more like observing the members of Root.
A was now only ten or so years old. Although he was also wearing Root's uniform and a mask, his thin and short body should be very conspicuous among the Ninjas.
Especially since the other side had Wood Style, even if it was only a broken version, his body still had a faint life aura.
This was something that outsiders could not detect, but only Yuki, who had the authentic Wood Style, could sense.
With the combination of the two, after a while, Yuki finally found a guard at a corner of Root Base.
So, he stopped.
At this time, Danzo also noticed A, who was on an alert mission not far away.
However, he did not pay much attention to it because, apart from him, only a few people knew about the A-class ability.
Knowing about it from the outside, including the Hokage, was impossible.
However, what Yuki said next made his heart suddenly tense up.
"Elder Danzo, I have heard a piece of news. Orochimaru and Root have previously worked together in a forbidden experiment. I wonder if there is such a thing?"
Yuki, who stopped here, suddenly threw out this question.
Danzo calmly denied, "Nonsense! Fourth generation leader, you have also looked at Root Base. Root has no basis for any experiments."
Yuki said with a faint smile, "Oh? What if it was Orochimaru who said this? He told me a lot before he died."
-Orochimaru...
Suddenly, Danzo's face couldn't help but change slightly.
