Konoha starts from the root

Five days later, outside Konoha Village, four figures walked slowly into the distance.

This group of people is the root ninja headed by Shimura Danzo.

Although Shimura Danzo attached great importance to this transaction with Orochimaru, he still did not bring more entourage.

Except for Baiye who was walking at the front, and Aburame Torigen and Yamafaze who were walking behind, there was only a standard team of four people on guard around them.

This was mainly because Shimura Danzo was dismissed from his position as Hokage's assistant, and because this time he was making a deal with Orochimaru, the village's S-class rebel ninja, he had to keep a low profile.

In this way, Sarutobi Hiruzen's character would not interfere too much.

Soon, three days passed.

A group of them came to a place called Three Valleys in the Kingdom of Kawa.

This is the place where Shimura Danzo and Orochimaru agreed to trade.

At this time, the sun was already setting in the west, and the sunset was gradually emerging on the horizon.

If it weren't for the chilling atmosphere surrounding it, this would be a good place to enjoy the scenery.

Shimura Danzo closed his eyes tightly, as if asleep, and stood quietly, without any anxious look.

Shiroye, Shanfeng, and Aburame Takene stood around him, always alert to possible dangers.

Time passed minute by minute, and it was not until the afterglow of the setting sun shone that there was movement from the other side of the valley.

Bai Ye looked intently and saw a three-headed giant snake dozens of meters long rushing over.

He didn't hesitate at all. While forming seals with his hands, he injected chakra into the ground and shouted: "Earth Escape: Earth Current Wall."

The next moment, the ground beneath my feet quickly rose, reaching a height of nearly 15 meters in the blink of an eye.

"Boom."

There was a loud noise, and the ground under Bai Ye's feet shook for a while before it stopped.

At this moment, three huge snake heads were raised, level with the white leaves, and the forked snake letters were trembling continuously, as if they were sensing something.

However, they no longer attack.

The smoke cleared, revealing a figure standing on the snake's head in the middle.

With long black hair, golden vertical pupils, purple eyeshadow extending to the nose, pale skin, and blue magatama-shaped earrings, the person coming was none other than Orochimaru.

Different from just sensing a subtle breath a few months ago, this time facing Orochimaru, Shiroye truly realized the difference.

The majestic chakra alone brought tremendous pressure to him.

Although Orochimaru had just lost to Uchiha Itachi, he still had a veritable Kage-level strength that no one could underestimate.

Just as Baiye was observing Orochimaru, Orochimaru was also sizing him up.

After a moment, he let out a burst of iconic laughter, stuck out his tongue, licked his lips, and said: "Elder Danzo, I haven't seen you for a few years, and it seems that a good new person has been cultivated from the roots."

Sensing Danzo Shimura approaching, Baiye immediately stepped aside and remained silent.

"Orochimaru, did you send someone to contact me for something?" Danzo Shimura seemed to still want to take the initiative in this transaction, so he asked.

When Orochimaru heard this, he immediately recalled the scene where he was instantly killed by Itachi Uchiha using a genjutsu half a month ago, and an inexplicable anger arose in his heart.

He said in a deep voice: "Duanzo, don't I know you well? If you didn't ask for something from me, why would you send people all over the world to look for me? Do you really think that I don't know anything? There is no need to be so hypocritical now, directly Tell me your request, and I only want the Sharingan."

Orochimaru is now eager to explore the mystery of the Sharingan. He knows that Danzo Shimura must have collected a lot of Sharingan in his hands, so he doesn't mind trading with Danzo.

After listening to Orochimaru's words, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but tighten his left hand on crutches.

It took a while before I suppressed the anger in my heart.

Just now, he even wanted to use other gods to control Orochimaru's will, but when he thought of the cooling time of more than ten years and his own Hokage dream, he finally gave up.

He took off the bandage on his right arm, exposed the arm full of scars, and said: "You should also know the condition of my arm. Now I need a more perfect and powerful arm. Can you do it?" Are you here?"

Of course Orochimaru knew about the problem on Shimura Danzo's right arm. Before he defected, one of the purposes of the secret Hashirama cell fusion experiment was to improve Shimura Danzo's physical condition.

After hearing Shimura Danzo's request, he immediately thought of a special experimental subject in his hands - Nobu. He has a special physique that will not cause rejection when transplanting any tissue.

In just a moment, Orochimaru conceived several experimental plans in his mind, which made him eager to return to the laboratory.

Orochimaru couldn't help but stick out his tongue, and said slightly excitedly: "No problem, as long as you give me enough Sharingan, I will definitely give you a perfect arm."

Hearing this, Danzo Shimura took out a sealing scroll from his chest, threw it towards Orochimaru, and said, "There are three pairs of Sharingan in it. I want to see the progress of the experiment the next time I trade. I hope you won't disappoint me."

Orochimaru's eyes were completely attracted to the scroll, and his tongue instantly stretched out to roll it away.

Then, without saying a word, he controlled the three-headed giant snake and left.

Judging from the speed when he left, he was obviously faster than when he came. If he didn't understand Orochimaru's character, Shimura Danzo might have thought that the other party was trying to cheat.

"let's go."

"Yes, Danzo-sama."

Not long after the group of people left the Three Valleys, Danzo Shimura suddenly said: "Go ahead."

When Bai Ye heard this, he disappeared with a teleportation technique.

His mission is to track Orochimaru and figure out where the opponent's base is.

This was already planned.

Of course Danzo Shimura would not let himself be in a passive situation all the time, so he made this arrangement.

After Bai Ye left, he completely restrained his aura and followed Orochimaru from a distance along the traces.

At this distance, he was sure that Orochimaru would not find him.

Of course, this makes it easier for him to lose track of his target.

However, Bai Ye's idea is also very simple, that is, follow if you can, and give up if you can't. He always adheres to one principle, which is not to confront Orochimaru.

"The Land of Wind?"

Looking at the direction of travel, Bai Ye said softly.

If he guessed correctly, Orochimaru should be preparing to go to the Kingdom of Wind, a place called the Great Sand Dune of the East.

According to the memory of the previous life, there should be a secret base of Orochimaru there, and it was also the place where he later fought against the Red Sand Scorpion.

After entering the Kingdom of Wind, as expected, Baiye lost track of Orochimaru.

"It looks like I can go back and resume my life."

Thinking this, Bai Ye left quickly.

Of course he would not tell Shimura Danzo the information he knew, and he was even planning how to kill or control Shimura Danzo.

Once he gets the Sharingan arm, it will be difficult to kill him.

And as long as he can control Shimura Danzo, then 'Gen' can be his help, otherwise the only way is to defect.

Now, he has completed the initial accumulation. If he continues to work for Danzo, it will seriously slow down the improvement of his strength. After all, it is impossible for Shimura Danzo to hand over the profound knowledge of sealing techniques or forbidden techniques. He studies.

The so-called time waits for no one is talking about Bai Ye himself.
