Card lottery starting from Konoha

In the Konoha Fire Country office, two Anbu appeared in front of the Third Hokage.

"I heard that you were regarded as spies by the villagers and were almost arrested."

The two ANBU nodded, their faces turning red under their masks.

As early as when the villagers reported the discovery of a suspected spy, ANBU ninjas had already paid attention and followed Komori to witness the entire process.

Although it was a bit embarrassing, the third generation had no intention of punishing the two of them. The ANBU ninjas were not much stronger than the Genbu and rarely communicated with others.

The main task is to ensure the safety of Hokage and perform some secret tasks.

When you act normally, you will inevitably look different from normal people and others will notice your flaws.

"Have you found out what you were asked to investigate?"

"Check it out."

Then the two of them recounted what they had heard in the tavern.

The third generation nodded and waved his hand for the two of them to walk out.

More than ten minutes later, another team of ANBU ninjas appeared in the third generation's office and reported on the current situation in the village.

For more than an hour, a total of four groups of Anbu ninja appeared and reported the news they heard in several lively places in Konoha.

There was a push on the door, and Men Yan and Xiao Chun walked in. Sandai rubbed his brows and said, "You are here."

"Well, I heard that news about the root is spreading everywhere in the village, and everyone is about to know it. What does Orochimaru mean? Without his instruction, the news about the root will not spread.

Also, people used to discuss Aoki's identity, but now almost everyone knows it.

When did such a master appear in Konoha and be able to drive Ohnoki back to the Land of Earth? "As soon as Men Yan came up, there was a series of problems.

In just a few days, the whole of Konoha seemed to have changed. The issue discussed was a topic that was completely unfamiliar to him, a high-ranking member of Konoha.

Men Yan thought several times that he was in the wrong place. This was not Konoha, but some village similar to Konoha.

"Hiruzhan, you must tell us about these incidents. Men Yan and I are also the village's advisers. If you feel it is not necessary to inform us, you can remove us from our positions as advisers.

So that we can retire at home with peace of mind. "Koharu was not polite and pushed Sandai into a corner.

"Okay, sit down first. You two are high-level officials in Konoha. You should know that rumors will change as they spread.

Aoki is not a master, nor is he capable of driving Ohnoki back to the Land of Earth. This is his information, take a look. "

While speaking, he took out a scroll and handed it over.

The two opened it and looked at it carefully. Men Yan said: "I didn't expect that it was the child adopted by the pharmacist No Naiyu. These villagers spread rumors and started making up stories without even looking at the age."

But Koharu saw the difference and said: "Since Orochimaru plans to promote his roots, why would he bring a child with him? There is no need to bother.

Moreover, the goal of the roots has always been hidden in the dark. Now the entire Konoha basically knows it. This was not the purpose of creating the roots back then. "

The third generation looked at his two companions and estimated that they had already found out Aoki's origins. As a consultant, it only took one sentence to find out a Konoha ninja, no matter what organization he belonged to.

The real purpose is to ask why Orochimaru started to promote the roots instead of continuing to walk in the darkness as before.

After all, Danzo had just died not long ago, and Orochimaru began to change. As a companion who had grown up together, he felt uncomfortable.

These three generations can understand it, and until now, Orochimaru has not reported it to him. The fundamental change is not a trivial matter.

Although there are not many people in the root, it plays an important role in Konoha.

"Well, I'll ask Orochimaru to come over. Instead of us guessing here, let him speak for himself."

Men Yan nodded and said: "It's okay, Orochimaru is what we watched and grew up, and he is your direct disciple, Hiruzen. We really need to listen to what he has to say. The two of us are not stubborn old guys. "

An ANBU ninja took the order and left.

More than ten minutes later, Orochimaru opened the door and walked in, always with an elegant smile on his face.

"Teacher, two seniors."

"Orochimaru, various deeds of the roots have been circulating in the village recently. You should be the one who asked people to publicize them."

The third generation goes straight to the core.

"Have you heard about it, teacher? I didn't expect it to spread so quickly."

"You should know the meaning of the root's existence. Both consultants are here today. Let's talk about your reasons."

Orochimaru nodded, glanced at the two consultants, and noticed the hostility between the two, and said:

"Senior Danzo managed the roots very well before. Whether it was the spy system or the training of ninjas, it can be said that it was impeccable and he made a huge contribution to Konoha."

As soon as Orochimaru spoke, the hostility in Men Yan and Koharu's eyes immediately dissipated, and the third generation also nodded.

After all, they have been companions for many years. Now that they are dead, the three of them felt a little relieved when they heard the compliments from their juniors.

The third generation said: "You are right. Although Danzo has many shortcomings, he has indeed solved a lot of troubles for Konoha at the root and helped me a lot."

"Danzo-senpai grew up with his teacher and two seniors, was taught by the Second Hokage, and experienced the cruelty of the first ninja war.

Back then, Danzo-senpai established the Roots, allowing them to become the root system of Konoha and provide nutrients for Konoha. However, he himself would not see the light of day and would always succumb to the darkness. This is what I admire the most.

I took charge of the roots for a while and discovered my shortcomings. "

The three looked at him.

Sandai said: "What's the shortcoming?"

"I can't be as noble as Danzo-senpai, because I stayed in the darkness for too long, and I will think about the light. This time, my subordinates suggested that we can properly promote the roots in Konoha.

You can vaguely spread some less important things, firstly, to comfort the root ninjas who have died fighting for Konoha for so many years, and secondly, to give yourself a breather.

Teacher, this is my dereliction of duty. "

The third generation pondered: "You did not neglect your duty, but you did a good job. What do you two think?"

Men Yan and Xiaochun nodded.

The third generation continued: "Times have changed, and the root has also changed. In the past, when Konoha ninjas heard the name of the root, they were like poisonous insects and beasts.

Now that your method has come out, it has subtly changed the image of the ninjas in the village towards their roots, which is also a good thing.

But if you want to completely change the Konoha ninja's view of the roots, this kind of publicity alone is of no use. Do you have any substantive methods? "

"There are no big changes for the time being, but I have conducted a pilot in cultivating root ninjas.

It is no longer mainly about mechanical brainwashing, but by teaching the will of fire and root discipline, cultivating their faith and will, and then exploring the correct method of cultivating root ninja. "

Orochimaru directly repeated Aoki's words without blushing or feeling embarrassed at all.

The third generation suddenly smiled, with a smile on his face. He was worthy of being his disciple, and it was similar to the method he had learned over the years.

"Yes, the will of fire is the foundation for Konoha to be passed down to this day. You can understand this and start to pass it on. It seems that you have made great progress in the roots."

"It's all taught by the teacher."
