"Kakashi! Long time no see!"

The short-haired middle-aged man named Danzo smiled slightly and said hello to Kakashi. Copy URL to visit ( )

"Swipe!"

Two figures appeared one after another, standing behind Danzo. They were the two ANBU ninjas from before.

"."

Kakashi watched silently, with the corners of his eyes trembling slightly. The ANBU was a shadow force directly affiliated with the contemporary Hokage, and now, this man had actually penetrated such a powerful force in the ANBU.

This is not good news!

Kakashi thought to himself.

"Kakashi, how have you considered my invitation?"

Danzo ignored Kakashi's silence, then narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled lightly.

"I'm sorry, Danzo-sama! I can only apologize for your great love! I belong to the village and only take orders from the Fourth Hokage! That's all!"

Kakashi said calmly, not caring at all about the cold and unkind looks of the two ANBU ninjas behind Danzo.

"Well, that's such a shame, I've always admired you!"

There was a hint of disappointment on Danzo's face, but he relaxed in an instant, remembering the purpose of his trip, and then shifted his gaze, looking around at the stunned Tokugawa family members.

"Are you the Tokugawa clan!? I'm visiting the nobles on behalf of the Konoha elders. I hope I won't disturb you!"

Danzo said with a smile, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

Konoha Elders Group!

hiss!

On the ring, almost all the clan elders couldn't help but take a breath. They were different from ordinary Tokugawa tribesmen and had a better understanding of Konoha. The Konoha Council of Elders was affiliated with an independent authority. Sometimes they can even influence the will of the Hokage, and most of the people who can become elders are respected and powerful ninjas in the village, and are the real high-level figures in Konoha Ninja Village. ( )

At this time, this man named Danzo can come here on behalf of the elders of Konoha. This proves from another aspect that he is the top class of people even among the elders of Konoha!

At the ten-year selection competition, the elders of Konoha were actually present in person. This was really something that the Tokugawa people felt extremely proud of.

"Um, Lord Danzo! You are most welcome to come. The Tokugawa clan feels very lucky!"

Tokugawa Jinyasu suppressed the shock in his heart and bowed respectfully.

The elder of the clan behind him also greeted him enthusiastically and enthusiastically.

At this time, seeing the actions of the family governor and clan elders, the ordinary people in the audience looked at Danzo and the three of them in astonishment, and there was a lot of light discussion.

. .

For all this, Kakashi has been watching with cold eyes, silently and calmly, but there is a faint doubt lingering in his heart.

He knew Danzo's identity very well, and he even learned some of the things that the Konoha ninja didn't know from his teacher, the Fourth Hokage.

The power on the surface of Konoha belongs to the contemporary Hokage, but there is still an unknown and powerful power hidden in the darkness. The creator of this power is the man in front of him, Danzo!

And the name for that power is - root!

Just like the leaves of a tree that live in the sun, the existence of the root has always existed in darkness and shadow, and never appears in front of the public easily.

At this moment, would the leader of Gen, the man whose influence is second only to the Hokage among the top management of Konoha, appear inexplicably in this remote northern town? ?

some of. Is something happening? ?

Unconsciously, Kakashi's eyes slightly glanced at a silent companion behind him.

He is also a member of the Roots. .

Is it. .

Thinking like this, the left eye under the mask slowly turned, showing a little coldness.

At this time, on the ring, Danzo still maintained a calm expression, and his respect for the Tokugawa clan had not changed at all.

Instead, he slowly lowered his head and looked at the boy, Tokugawa Shuto, who stopped because his way was blocked.

There was a faint smile in his eyes, and he said: "Kakashi's judgment is very accurate, but it is not absolute!"

"..."

Tokugawa Shuren's body trembled, and he suddenly looked up at the figure in front of him. He was not tall, but at this moment, Tokugawa Shuren felt as majestic as a mountain peak.

"There is something I admire about you. How about you, would you like to follow me to Konoha?"

Danzo's faint voice was like a thunderclap in Tokugawa Shuto's mind, and he looked at him in disbelief.

Perhaps it was the stimulation of Tokugawa Yasushi and Tokugawa Wudo, or the disappointment towards his father and a trace of resentment deep in his heart. Tokugawa Shuto's thoughts changed at the moment of failure. The ideals that had been buried deeply since childhood were gradually dissipating in my heart.

He desires power and desires to destroy everything. strength!

At this time, the words Danzo leaned over and spoke sounded softly in his ears like the temptation of a devil.

"Follow me, and you will grow beyond everyone else. Even now, you can dominate this small family!"

"If I want to destroy it, this city will turn into dust in just a moment!"

"No one can stop me!"

strength. destroy. dominate.

lingering in his mind.

"huh huh huh huh!"

The Tokugawa Shuto who lowered his head suddenly laughed in a low voice, his shoulders shaking, his expression flushed, and his eyes filled with anger and arrogance.

"boom!"

In everyone's surprised eyes, Tokugawa Shuto suddenly threw away the long knife tied to his waist, knelt in front of Danzo, and fell deeply.

"Please take it in, sir!"

He said lowly and slowly.

At this moment, except for Danzo and a few others, almost everyone looked at the young man in shock, puzzled by his sudden behavior.

Only Kakashi's eyes narrowed tightly.

"Ha ha!"

Danzo smiled slowly, stretched out his hand to help Tokugawa Shuren, then looked in the direction of Kakashi and said: "I'm sorry, Kakashi, your mission is over!"

"What's the meaning!"

Kakashi frowned tightly, confused.

"brush!"

A scroll suddenly appeared in Danzo's hand. He slowly opened it and read: "Hokage's order, Jounin Kakashi, ends the judgment mission. He must rush to the Land of Mist and Shadow within three days to rescue the enemy." Our ninja who controls reads;! That person.”

After saying this, Danzo showed a faint smile, "It's Harano Lin!"

"What!? Lin!"

The calm Kakashi suddenly tensed up, his eyes instantly became cold, and the left eye under the mask instantly rotated, exuding an abyss-like aura of destruction.

"Isn't Lin in the village!? How could it be? How could she be controlled by the Kirigakure ninja!"

"This. This is beyond my ability!"

Danzo showed a sneer and slowly closed his eyes.

"Humph!"

Kakashi's eyes narrowed slightly, with resentment in his heart, but this was not the time to care about this matter. Thinking of the promise to his dead friend, he flashed, left a word, and quickly rushed into the air. .

"Anbu Team 11, carry out the rescue mission immediately!"

"Yes!"

The two ANBU ninjas gave a low shout and then turned into two phantoms, following Kakashi closely.

But no one saw it, and one of the ANBU instantly dropped a paper ball in mid-air.

"brush!"

Silently, an ANBU ninja behind Danzo caught the falling paper ball and slowly opened it.

"What's up!"

Danzo opened his eyes, revealing a little cold light.

"There is a person suspected of being from the Uzumaki clan among the Tokugawa clan. He has special blood-stained power and can use the power of the metal thousand books!"

"Oh!? It's an unexpected bonus, the Uzumaki clan. Metal. Very good!"

Danzo showed a faint smile and slowly turned his head to look at the ring, his eyes locked on Tokugawa Nobuyasu.

"Master Tokugawa, as a guest, I have a request!"
