Naruto: My name is Naruto Nianma

Menma saw that his nails were bruised on both sides, and there were more and more wounds on his body.

At this moment, the mutation protruded!

A huge club attacked from a distance, sweeping away the toads headed by Bunta, and saved A.

Immediately afterwards, many Konoha ninjas wearing masks appeared and attacked the toads.

Caught off guard, several toads were injured and had to return to Miaomu Mountain.

Gamabunta was furious when he saw this. After sheathing his sword, he quickly drew his sword and slashed. The huge sword drew an arc and cut off the surrounding trees, forcing back the incoming ninja.

Shima Sennin jumped on Kamima's shoulder and yelled angrily towards the dark place: "Who is coming? Why are you attacking the allies of Mt. Miaomu?"

A figure slowly walked out of the darkness.

The person who came was wearing a black tight-fitting combat uniform and a ninja hat. His face was covered with age spots and wrinkles, and he had a white goatee on his chin.

The sides of the hat have green laminated armor, and the back of the hat has an extra-long strap.

The shoulders of the combat uniform are equipped with silver protective gear connected to the back. The protective gear on the back has the word "root" written on it.

There are two vertical ninja bags on the back, a purple silk belt around the waist, mesh wrist guards on the arms and calves, and a green laminated armor on the right arm.

Yes, the person who came was none other than Hiruzen Sarutobi, the leader of the Konoha Roots and the leader of the Sarutobi clan.

Facing Shima Sennin's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a sullen face: "Hmph, I would like to ask, why did the toads from Mt. Myoboku attack Konoha's ninjas in Konoha?"

Menma was really furious when he heard this. It was obviously you who sent people to assassinate me first, but you actually beat me up!

Shima Sennin looked serious, looking at the faint root ninjas around him, knowing that this matter would be difficult to resolve.

So she jumped down to numb her shoulders, formed a seal with her hands, and performed the counter-spiritual technique!

With a bang, Jiraiya appeared on the spot.

Jiraiya, who had just been summoned, was confused, but he immediately saw the scene in front of him.

The Konoha ninjas, led by their master Sarutobi Hiruzen, are confronting a group of toads in Mt. Myoboku.

"What's going on?" Jiraiya's expression changed and he looked at Shima Sennin.

Shima Sennin jumped on Jiraiya's shoulder and told Jiraiya what had just happened.

"What? Is it true?" Jiraiya looked gloomy after hearing this and looked at Menma.

Menma nodded, indicating that what the Immortal Zhima said was true.

Jiraiya turned his head, looked at his mentor, and said with a complex expression: "Teacher, did you really send your men to assassinate Menma?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted: "Humph, I don't know what you are talking about. When I led people on patrol, I happened to see the toad of Mt. Myoboku attacking the Konoha ninja, so I just rescued him!"

"You fart! It was your ninja who attacked Menma-sama first!" Gamabunta had such a bad temper that he couldn't help but retort immediately.

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with a beast!" Sarutobi Hiruzen said disdainfully.

"What?!" Gamabunta was furious after hearing this, and he raised his sword and was about to attack!

"Bunta, calm down, he wants to provoke you to take action!" Shima Sennin shouted.

Seeing that the toad clan was not fooled, Sarutobi Hiruzen snorted and waved his hand.

He immediately had two ninjas come out, intending to take away Jian Meicheng and Red Copper Armor.

"Wait a minute, no one can leave until the words are clearly spoken!" Menma stepped in front of the red copper armor and faced off against the root ninja.

Sasuke also followed suit, jumping up to Kenmei Cheng and pointing a kunai at his neck!

"Who are you? Why should I give you an explanation?" Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at Menma coldly and said.

"Hmph, I am Jiraiya's disciple, the son of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki, and the contractor of Mt. Myoboku. I am also the target of your assassination, Namikaze Menma!" Menma answered loudly.

"Oh, it turns out he is Jiraiya's apprentice!

Huh, even Jiraiya doesn't dare to talk to me like this, what qualifications do you have to question me? ! ! "Sarutobi Hiruzen said contemptuously.

Menma's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this!

Deceiving too much!

Just when Menma was thinking about how to seek justice, a voice sounded: "If Menma is not qualified, then am I qualified?"

Everyone followed the sound and saw the Third Hokage Shimura Danzo slowly walking over on crutches, followed by a group of Anbu wearing animal masks!

"Ha~ Mr. Danzo, the Third Hokage, why are you here if you are not sitting in the Hokage's office?" Hiruzen Sarutobi stared at Danzo and said.

"Hehehe, isn't the root leader Hiruzen-sama here too? Why, you, the root, can come to this place, but I, the Hokage, can't come?" Danzo said with a sneer.

"Danzo-sama is joking, I came here because I received a tip that there was an invasion of foreign enemies in Konoha Village, in the Forest of Death.

Sure enough, as soon as I came here, I saw the toads from Mt. Myoboku attacking Konoha ninjas! "Sarutobi Hiruzen said.

"It's not like that, it's obviously..." Mianma yelled anxiously.

"Okay!" Danzo waved his hand towards Menma, gesturing for him to handle it, "I also received a tip saying that an enemy pretended to be a Konoha ninja to take the chunin exam and assassinate the new generation of Konoha ninjas, so I brought him Let’s take a look at the ANBU.”

With that said, Danzo walked up to the red copper armor lying on the ground, stepped on the red copper armor's face with his toes, twisted it from side to side, and said, "I guess this is the enemy!"

With that said, Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and said in a stern tone: "I have never seen this person in the genin directory of Konoha. Isn't he one of your roots?!!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to answer, but was interrupted by Danzo: "I advise you to think carefully before speaking. The basic standards for chunin promotion are different from those of ordinary ninjas. There is no need and should not take the chunin exam!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a long time and said: "They are ninjas at the root, here to perform secret missions!"

"What secret mission?" Danzo asked closely, "Has this mission been approved by the Hokage's office?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen said nothing.

Danzo said: "Since you don't tell me, then I will take them back and ask them myself!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen hurriedly refused: "No, they are my root ninjas, and they should be taken away by my root!

Moreover, when the Second Hokage founded the Roots, he made it clear that the Roots must maintain their independence. Even the Hokage cannot interfere with the internal affairs of the Roots! "

This is indeed true, when the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama came to power.The ANBU directly under the Hokage was controlled by Uchiha.Naturally, the Uchiha clan, which had a deep hatred for the Senju clan, would not obey Tobirama's orders.

So Tobirama established the root department to perform the functions of the ANBU.

But he was worried that after his death, the position of Hokage would be taken back by the Uchiha clan. Then the Uchiha clan, which controlled the roots and the ANBU, would be extremely powerful, so he reduced the Hokage's control over the roots and improved the roots. of autonomy.

To put it simply, the appointment and dismissal of the root leader is jointly decided by the Hokage and the Hokage advisor. The root leader is solely responsible for internal matters within the root, and even the Hokage cannot interfere!
