People raise Hokage in Yunyin

Early in the morning, Danzo put on his formal clothes and walked out of the base.

"Lord Danzo, according to our observation, Hatake Kakashi has been very decadent recently and has not accepted any missions. He stays at home every day."

A masked root ninja stepped forward to remind.

"I see."

Danzo was secretly happy. He had been eyeing the son of the White Fang a long time ago, but due to the obstruction of Sarutobi Hiruzen, he had never been able to get him to his roots.

Now Kakashi is deeply confused, and he is sure that there is an opportunity.

……

dong dong!

Two knocks on the door rang, Kakashi shook his groggy head and sat up from the bed.

Who would come looking for me at this point?

Kakashi was a little confused. His classmates' friends would not come to look for him at home, and those strangers probably wished that he would die early.

Kakashi laughed at himself, slowly got up from the bed, walked to the door and opened the door.

In front of him was a majestic middle-aged ninja, wearing a black coat, with his right eye and forehead wrapped in bandages. Behind him were two masked ninjas.

Kakashi recognized this person, Konoha's top executive Shimura Danzo. At the funeral that day, he gave a speech and called on a group of ninjas to join the other party's organization.

"Kakashi Hatake, as an elder of Konoha, I am here to invite you to join my organization - Root!"

Danzo got straight to the point and spoke forcefully.

"Thank you for your kindness, elder. It's just that I'm used to being lazy and don't want to join any organization."

Kakashi refused, not to mention that he didn't know anything about "Gen", but his recent mood alone made him not want to agree at all.

"Kakashi Hatake, I heard that you indirectly killed the Sandaime, and the Sandaime tried his best to cover your retreat. Now that Konoha needs your power, you are holding back. Is this how you repay the Third Hokage?" Danzo Shimura said coldly. asked.

Kakashi clenched his fists, but his face looked indifferent.

"How I protect Konoha has nothing to do with you, not to mention you can't represent Konoha."

After saying that, Kakashi turned around and showed off his guests with his actions.

"Kakashi, how dare you be rude to Danzo-sama!"

A ninja behind Danzo yelled, trying to step forward and grab Kakashi.

Danzo Shimura suddenly turned back and looked coldly at the ninja behind him.

"I'm sorry, I was rude!"

The ninja instantly retreated and knelt down on one knee.

Kakashi was not interested in the farce in front of him and turned around to enter the house.

"Kakashi, when your companion Uchiha Obito died and left his Sharingan to you, he wanted you to use his eyes to protect Konoha. Did you do it?"

"You have investigated my affairs very clearly. If you have this time, why not do something practical?"

Kakashi was a little irritated. Every word he said hit his pain point, but it happened to be the truth.

"And your father's suicide, companions or missions, have you thought clearly about this issue?"

Danzo turned to the White Fang.

Kakashi turned around and looked at Danzo with fixed eyes. He hated people mentioning his father's death.

After everything he's been through, he's sure he's figured it out, but he doesn't need anyone else to lecture him on it.

"Are they companions? Ha...that's really sad."

Danzo stared at Kakashi's eyes, as if he wanted to see something through his pupils.

"Have you experienced the death of your companions several times, and sacrificed your life to save others several times, so you have come to this conclusion? Kakashi, you are so superficial!"

"Then what advice do you have!"

Kakashi asked coldly. He was tired of playing riddles with the other party. If Danzo could not give a positive reply, he would use Chidori to penetrate his heart.

"The most important thing...is Konoha!"

"The mission is more important to Konoha, so choose to carry out the mission. Your companions are more important to Konoha, so save your companions. If both are not as important as you, sacrifice both to save yourself!"

Danzo opened his hands and said in a sleepy tone. The sun shone on his back, but a huge shadow enveloped Kakashi.

"This……"

Kakashi was a little distracted. The words "for Konoha" were indeed the pursuit of every Konoha ninja, but was such a theory really applicable here? Kakashi felt something was wrong.

"White Fang gave up his mission in order to save his companions and caused huge losses to the village, so he was reviled."

"Uchiha Obito saved you with his life, and also used his Sharingan to make you a genius ninja. After that, you shined for Konoha and created greater value, so Uchiha Obito is a hero. "

"This time you and Kai caused the death of the Third Hokage. You two are hated by everyone because you are less valuable than the Hokage. If you exchanged your lives for the Hokage, then you are heroes."

"In the final analysis, it is that your value is not enough and your contribution to Konoha is not enough!"

The sound was deafening, and Kakashi felt his eyes blur.

Is this really the case? Did what he believed in and what Obito taught him just happened to match this "theory of value"?

"I know you are still confused and haven't fully understood it yet, but it doesn't matter. Follow me and I will give you guidance!"

"It doesn't matter if you give up the mission or sacrifice your companions. As long as you make greater contributions to Konoha in the future, the companions who sacrificed for you are the real heroes!"

The demonic whispers continued, and Kakashi was more confused than ever. He felt that his values ​​were being attacked.

Kakashi wanted to retort, but he didn't know what to say.

"If you continue to sink and don't want to make progress, then your companions who sacrificed for you will not even be able to get the name of a hero and can only be a pitiful person. Is this what you want?"

Is this what I want? Kakashi felt that each of his past companions were questioning himself, questioning himself for not making progress, questioning himself for not being able to bring them the name of a hero.

"So, join us, 'The Roots' need your power, and Konoha needs your power too!"

Danzo stretched out his right hand to Kakashi, and the confused Kakashi subconsciously reached for it.

"Very good!" A smile appeared on Danzo's lips.

"Then...I'm looking forward to your growth."

Danzo turned around and walked into the sunshine.

"I will witness it with my own eyes. If you dare to lie to me, I will kill you!"

A voice full of murderous intent came from behind. Danzo didn't take it seriously and raised his right hand and waved it behind him.

"Then, get ready and report to Root in two days."

……

"The next one is Metkai, a ninja who is at the same time as Kakashi and although he only knows taijutsu, he is still very strong."

Danzo spoke with a smile and motioned to the ninja behind him to lead the way.

In a dense forest, the sound of ninja training could be heard.

"One thousand and one...one thousand and two..."

A young ninja with a Jarhead wearing green tights was kicking a wooden stake horizontally.

"Youth...Youth cannot be slacked off!"

While training, the young ninja yelled to motivate himself.

Danzo, who had just approached the edge of the woods, was immediately shocked by the sight in front of him.

Although I had heard it from my ninjas a long time ago, I really didn’t expect it...

Is such a ninja really suitable for "Gen"? Danzo hesitated.

"Who?"

Metkai suddenly became alert and asked loudly.

‘What a beast-like intuition! ’ Danzo thought to himself.

"It's me, Konoha elder Shimura Danzo."

Danzo walked out from behind the tree.

Metkai looked confused. He felt that the other person looked familiar, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him before.

"I am the leader of the roots, the hero who ended the war."

Danzo sighed. He had heard that the other party was face blind, but he didn't expect it to be so serious.

Metkai's eight-core brain was spinning rapidly, and after a moment, he finally came to his senses.

"I remembered, you were the hero who gave the speech at the funeral!"

"What you said is so reasonable and touching. This is...youth!"

As he spoke, Metkai burst into tears and rushed towards Shimura Danzo.

Danzo stepped aside with a numb look on his face. After hesitating for a while, he still said: "Anyway... I'm here to invite you to join the Root organization. Konoha needs your power."

"Konoha needs my power, father, do you hear me!"

Metkai became even more excited. He collapsed on the ground and hugged Danzo's thigh tightly. Tears and snot covered Danzo's body.

"I'm happy to join. I will definitely do my best to protect Konoha. This is...youth!"

"Okay, okay, I understand. Let's report from the root in two days."

Danzo finally broke free from Metkai's arms and looked at the unknown liquid on his body with disgust.

After struggling for a long time, Danzo finally left the training ground with Metkai's farewell.

On the way back to his roots, Shimura Danzo was full of joy and recruited two talented young ninjas. He was one step closer to his goal.

"Incorporate Kakashi into the core of our 'root' and cultivate him. There is no need to avoid too many things about him. There is the same darkness in his heart."

Danzo ordered his men who were following behind.

"As for Metkai..."

"Let him keep his name in the root. Those secret missions don't require his participation."

Danzo couldn't help but shudder when he thought of Metkai's performance just now.

For the first time, he discovered that his "for Konoha" brainwashing method was a little too effective.

Danzo fell into deep thought.
