Dancer of Konoha

"You are indeed very important to the Third Hokage, but so will the Third Hokage who you know how to do, but you may not know what the Third Hokage knows..."

Yanyan's words were like cold arrows, piercing Danzo Shimura's heart with every word, causing the old man to sink deeply into the back of his chair and remain silent for a long time.

After a while, Shimura Danzo, who was silent, slowly pulled out a booklet from his arms and placed it in front of Yanyan.

"This is all the information on your subordinates, the only one..."

Yanyan looked startled, and narrowed his eyes to look at Shimura Danzo, who seemed a little tired.

"Your actions in the future... may be informed based on the circumstances."

"Are you sure?"

Yanyan asked in a deep voice, Shimura Danzo's meaning was already self-evident.

From now on, all the ninjas in the root training base will be completely hidden and become a ghost in Konoha Village. Except for Danzo Shimura, not even the Hokage will know about the existence of these people!

Danzo Shimura can handle whatever Yanyan does.

"Humph......"

Danzo Shimura sneered rather contemptuously.

"I want to see what kind of path you can take with your roots."

He knew very well what Yan Yan said about the roots and his actions during the Chunin Exam. Yan Yan wanted nothing more than to change the root's previous image and establish the root ninja as an indispensable hero in Konoha Village.

“Are roots exposed to sunlight still real roots?”

Even he was not sure whether Yanyan's approach was right or wrong, so that such doubts echoed in Shimura Danzo's mind countless times.

But even if Yanyan is wrong, Shimura Danzo does not want his disciples to continue to follow the path he has taken.

At this age, he could vaguely see what was at the end of the road, and he already had a bad answer in his heart.

Danzo Shimura understood that because his ambitions had never been concealed from Hiruzen Sarutobi, all his actions over the years were actually within Hiruzen Sarutobi's plans.

He has been on the opposite side of those families for a long time, and it has become increasingly difficult for him to become Hokage, but he is not willing to give in. Even if no one supports him, he will give it a try!

"Do I really have no chance?"

Under the dim candlelight, the old man seemed to be asking Yan Yan, but it was more like asking himself.

"The various battles in this world may seem complicated, but the logic behind them is simple and crude. The weak will destroy themselves, the strong will always be strong, and the strongest will cover the sky with one hand.

Yanyan picked up the roster in front of him and walked out the door.

"Teacher Danzo, you are not strong enough..."

Looking at Yanyan's leaving figure, Danzo Shimura remembered what Yanyan had just said.

"If the world is cruel and cold, then those who change it must be even more cold and cruel."

"Indeed, this world needs indifference and cruelty...but Konoha doesn't need it..."

In the dim room, the old man's sigh sounded softly.

Root training base

Yanyan, who was walking towards the interrogation department, handed the roster to Xianglin.

"Is this true! Lord Yanyan!"

Xianglin looked at the roster in disbelief. This meant that their future actions would be unrestricted! And... there was still someone taking the blame!

"real......"

This is what Yanyan has always wondered about. What does his Danzo teacher want to do?

Has it really changed from the darkness of the ninja world to the light of charity?

"Wow..."

The cell door slowly opened, and what came into view was a haggard-looking Temari and a hostile Kankuro.

Gaara, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, was extremely quiet, with no wave in his eyes. The two days in the root cell were the calmest in his life.

"What do you want to do!"

Temari and Kankuro uneasily stood in front of Gaara, blocking Enyan's steps.

"Come out for a walk?"

Ignoring the extremely nervous two people in front of him, Yanyan walked out the door after finishing speaking.

"Temari, Kankuro, it's okay."

Gaara slowly stood up and followed Enyan out of the cell. Seeing that the root ninja guarding the door did not close the cell door, Temari and Kankuro quickly followed.

This was the first time they had seen the entire base while awake.

Deep and empty underground buildings are a sight you will never see in Sand Ninja Village. Due to the special geographical environment, some of the secrets of Sand Ninja Village can rarely be hidden underground.

Everyone was silent along the way. Only Temari, who quickly woke up, was secretly writing down their route in order to try to find opportunities to escape in the future.

"Crack..."

As the door to the training department opened, Kankuro, who was looking around, instantly saw a figure that made him tremble.

"Yan Yan Sang?"

Kurama Yakumo, who was sitting on the railing of the high platform reading a book, calmly put away the red leather in his hand and showed a clear smile to everyone.

"Yakumo, I told you about this book..."

Sora was about to tease Kurama Yakumo Ichiban when suddenly his vision blurred and he heard the familiar sound of ghosts crying and howling in the Fierce Ghost Manor.

"Oh my God, here we go again..."

After discovering that his chakra induction was also eliminated by Kurama Yakumo, Sora helplessly jumped up and hung behind the root ninjas.

You must know that Iduke has never had a good impression of him. It may not be that easy to get out of the illusion easily. It seems that one person is bound to die in this ghost mountain villa, but if it is a group of people, I am afraid you don’t even know how to die. ...

Different from the astonishment of the three sand ninjas, everyone at the base smiled as they were accustomed to, and the couple just quarreled.

Ignoring Kong who was suddenly standing aside, Yanyan said with a smile:

"Yakumo, tell us about the casualties at the training base."

Kurama Yakumo, who pretended to be fine, picked up a notepad beside him, frowned and read:

"There were originally 63 chuunin, 36 died, and 27 remained. There were 197 genin, 84 died, and 113 remained..."

"It's better to lose all your weight..."

Kankuro gritted his teeth and looked at the silent root ninjas under the high platform. He wished that all these ninjas in Konoha would die.

"Annihilate 4 Suna ninja jounin, 51 chuunin, 11 sound ninja jounin, and 74 chunin, but this does not include the ninja you killed at the exam venue, Enyan-san. The corpses were too broken, even the heads were missing. There are not many left, and the root ninjas really can’t fight and can’t be counted.”

"how is this possible......"

"really!"

Not only Kankuro but also Temari's eyes were blank.

But then Kankuro sneered again, and Temari shouted angrily:

"Are you kidding? Don't underestimate us! Just relying on a group of genin to try to destroy the chuunin and jounin of our sand ninja, you might as well just say that the sand ninja village has been bulldozed by you, and the fourth Kazekage has also been destroyed. Just kill them!

"Temari..."

Before Gaara, who seemed to have discovered something, could speak, Kurama Yakumo covered his mouth and started laughing.

"The Sand Ninja Village is not that easy to bulldoze..."

"As long as you know."

Temari looked at Kurama Yakumo with contempt.

However, the next words of the extremely weak-looking woman in front of her made her mind buzz like it was exploding.

"But the Fourth Kazekage Luo Sha is not as difficult to kill as imagined."

"What did you say......"

Temari suddenly turned pale and asked in disbelief.

She, who has always been smart in thinking, suddenly had a bad premonition. The person in front of her was not a madman, let alone a fool. To be able to say such words so calmly must be something to rely on.

"Asshole! What do you mean by that!"

Even Kankuro roared angrily regardless of his fear of Kurama Yakumo.

"Temari, Kankuro..."

Gaara stopped the two of them with a serious look and said in a deep voice:

"look up!"
