Konoha: The New Will of Fire

root base.

It was confirmed that Lord Danzo had been captured by the Torture Department, and all the root ninjas could not accept the news for a while.

Gan Qiao glanced at the root ninjas who were still in shock: "From today on, I am the new leader of the root."

After saying that, Qian Qiao saw that no one responded to him and said coldly: "What? Are you all going to disobey the Hokage's order and become a traitor?"

As soon as these words came out, there was finally a response from the crowd. Captain Genbu, who had reacted, reluctantly shouted.

"Master Qianqiao!"

"Master Ganqiao..."

A sparse voice sounded, and Gan Qiao frowned slightly.

This is indeed not a good job. The Roots was founded by Danzo and was ruled by Danzo for decades. Danzo conducted high-intensity brainwashing on every Root member.

The team members need to undergo the training of "elimination of self". In order to keep secrets, curse seals will be placed on them. Danzo thoroughly trains them into chess pieces that can fully perform the mission.

The person who has the so-called "root" implanted in their mind has no name and no emotions.No past, no future.There is only a mission in mind, and what supports the big tree of Konoha Village is the will of... the "roots" that are deeply rooted in the earth.

Under Danzo's brainwashing, these people have already become Danzo's diehard loyalists.

However, people are not incapable of change. For example, Sakai, the so-called brainwashing can also change the mind.

Excluding other factors, Danzo put a lot of effort into building the root. Geniuses from various major families were added to the root by Danzo in various ways.

Therefore, the lowest level of ninjas in the root is special jounin. You must know that a small number of ANBU people are chuunin.

The reason why Gan Qiao was so arrogant at the beginning was to establish a sense of majesty and use force to tell all the root ninjas that Gan Qiao was now the leader.

As the saying goes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. Facing such an organization that has been run by others for decades, if they don't be strong and domineering and show their strength, these people will not be obedient.

Qianqiao's discussion with Minato was to use the ninjas of the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan to scare the monkeys. Sarutobi Shinzo at his feet came to the door on his own initiative, so he didn't need to use it in vain.

Obviously, the effect of this is still good.

At the very least, there is no refutation on the surface.

Scanning the crowd with sharp eyes, Gan Qiao issued the first order.

"All Root members in the village must report to the base within one hour, and ninjas who leave the village on missions must also come back within three days."

"If anyone fails to show up within the stipulated time, I will judge him as disobeying the Hokage's orders and going against the village, and issue a wanted order for treason."

As soon as these words came out, the ninjas present changed their expressions. This new commander was too strict. If he did not follow the order, he would be judged as a traitor.

Doesn't he fear accountability from higher-ups in doing so?

Qianqiao saw what these people were thinking and said calmly: "I know what you are thinking, but let me tell you, your Lord Danzo was impeached and removed from office by the evidence I found from Orochimaru."

"You were responsible for many of the dozens of crimes Danzo committed, so..."

After a pause, Qianqiao glanced at everyone. Under Qianqiao's sharp gaze, the root ninjas lowered their heads one after another.

"To a certain extent, even if I kill you now, I won't have to bear any responsibility."

After saying that, Gan Qiao was about to step into the root base. Suddenly something occurred to him and he added: "By the way, this review is not only about Danzo, but also the root."

Seeing Qianqiao entering the root base, many root ninjas looked at each other and left with heavy hearts. They wanted to confirm the news and deal with the review that the tough leader said next.

……

After half an hour.

At the door of the root archives room, the barrier above was torn apart and scattered on the ground. Gan Qiao directly broke through it violently and entered it.

There was the sound of paper being flipped inside. Qian Qiao looked at the list in his hand, snorted, and threw it away.

This list is full of lies. Not to mention other people, there is no record on Yamato who owns the Wood Release. The real list should be kept by Danzo.

Gan Qiao rubbed his brows. Things about Gen Zhi were more complicated than he thought. There was only one way to take over Gen Zhi as soon as possible.

Remove some people from the roots and introduce some new people, so that we can control the roots as quickly as possible.

At this time, Ganqiao could understand the difficulty of Minato being the Hokage. There were not enough trustworthy and available people under his command, and many things could not be solved.

At this moment, a root ninja outside the door said respectfully: "Sir Ganqiao, all the root personnel in the village are here."

"past now"

Qianqiao stepped out of the stall.

A moment later, a hall.

Qian Qiao stood on the high platform and looked at the root members below. All members were uniformly dressed in dark black windbreakers and had unique masks. They were lined up neatly in teams of three.

With a quick glance, the number of people could be clearly determined. There were eight teams of 24 people in total.

Qian Qiao secretly thought that Danzo had indeed concealed a lot of people. In the secret establishment, they were organized according to a detachment, which was 17 people, but there were 24 people here alone.

In addition to the mission outside, there are about thirty people in the entire root. No wonder Danzo dares to be so arrogant. This is his confidence.

Qianqiao glanced at the crowd below, and the sound mixed with chakra spread throughout the hall.

"You should all have learned through your respective channels what happened to Shimura Danzo, the former 'root' leader. I won't go into nonsense. You also know the outcome of Shimura Danzo. He committed so many crimes. If Danzo faces a public trial, even if he survives his death, he will never be able to lead the Roots again."

"So, I hope you all understand the current situation clearly. As the saying goes, those who understand the current situation are heroes. Next, Root will be led by me. I don't have as many messy ambitions as Danzo, nor So many rules.”

"I only have three rules, obey, obey, obey the fuck!"

The ninjas below were surprised when they heard this rule. This strange way of preaching was completely different from what they heard from Lord Danzo.

In the past, everything Danzo-sama talked to them about was for Konoha, and everything was for the village. They were heroes in the darkness.

After explaining his rules, Ganqiao immediately added: "The ones who belong to the Sarutobi clan and the Shimura clan among the roots."

The originally relaxed atmosphere in the hall suddenly became tense.

There was a brief silence, and five people in the crowd stood up.

Qian Qiao looked at these five people one by one and thought to himself, five people, one sixth, this number is neither more nor less.

"From today onwards, the five of you are no longer part of the root and have returned to your normal ninja status."

Ganqiao issued the second order to reach the root.

"Why do you do this to us?"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the five people asked loudly: "What have we done wrong? Just let us leave our roots."

Qian Qiao picked at his earwax and asked, "What are the rules I just mentioned?"

The questioning ninja was stunned for a moment, but still replied: "Obey."

The moment the words fell, Qian Qiao disappeared out of thin air on the high platform. In an instant, he came behind the ninja and kicked the opponent away easily with a sweeping kick.

A special jounin, with Gan Qiao's current strength, could kill him instantly.

Peng!

The opponent hit the wall hard with a loud bang.

Gan Qiao's eyes swept over the other four people like eagle eyes, and his voice was as cold as the collision of ice and said: "Here I am, all you have to do is obey orders."
