The words of the child who turned himself in were like a sharp knife, deeply hurting those who had the same experience.

Everyone was wondering, what has Konoha become now?

Why would a group of orphans choose to leave Konoha despite facing unknown difficulties and dangers?

Finally, the then Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze appeared. He declared that he would thoroughly investigate the truth and would definitely handle the matter fairly. The Fourth Hokage, who was in the limelight, suppressed the matter on the surface, but things did not stop behind the scenes.

Konoha Hokage Building.

"Master Four, according to our investigation, orphans adopted from the orphanage over the years have always been taken away for various reasons. And in the controlled Root Training Base, there happen to be some orphans who once lived in the orphanage. According to the list, less than one in a hundred of those orphans survived, and the vast majority died in the cruel training."

Kakashi reported the results of his investigation to Minato Namikaze, with suppressed emotions in his eyes. It turned out that the roots he saw were just a small part of the surface. According to the information he found, there is a quota for the number of people who can survive in each batch of training. No matter what the process is, only a few people will survive in the end.

During the mission of investigating Danzo, he unexpectedly found some clues about his father being maliciously criticized.

Minato Namikaze had a blank expression on his face. After listening to Kakashi's report, he fell into long contemplation.

Seeing that his teacher didn't give any instructions, Kakashi took a deep breath and spoke again.

"Fourth-generation sir, you should at least adopt the principle of voluntariness."

Kakashi knew that the dark side of the ninja village could not disappear. Just like the Tai Chi he learned from Li Qing, solitary yin cannot produce, and solitary yang cannot grow. However, at least it was on the premise of voluntariness. What Danzo did was to destroy the will of the trainees and turn them into a tool like a puppet.

Hearing Kakashi speak again, Namikaze Minato came back to his senses and looked at Kakashi, thought for a moment and spoke.

"Kakashi, I've taken note of your advice. You go down first!"

Kakashi heard this, nodded and retreated.

After leaving the Hokage's office, Kakashi felt the extremely dazzling sunlight. Then he looked up at the sky, and it was the sun shining brightly. The warmth of the sun shining on his body dispelled a lot of the gloom he had accumulated before.

In a trance, Kakashi recalled the first time he met Li Qing, and now he finally understood the meaning of that sentence.

“Keep walking in the sunshine!”

After Kakashi recalled that sentence, his eyes became firm and calm, and he silently gave up his previous idea. Then, he slowly walked away in the sunlight.

......

A few days later, an announcement was issued from the Hokage Building.

Shimura Danzo was imprisoned for suspected injustice, but the specific injustice was not announced. The child who surrendered himself will be released without charge and promised to compensate the orphanage.

I thought the situation would stop, but on the third day after the announcement, the orphanage in Konoha was deserted. All the war orphans who were brought back to Konoha Village left Konoha Village silently.

This incident made the people of Konoha panic. The previous flyer had mentioned what the Root did. Now that the orphanage was gone, would the Root target other people?

However, what those people didn't know was that the Root had already reached out to other people. And they were all supported by the big families, and they would even select some of their clansmen to join the Root to show their support.

The Root was born out of Danzo's ambition and the support of the big family. Without support, he didn't even have the funds, so how could he train so many Root warriors?

In a dark room, Shimura Danzo closed his eyes. His life situation seemed to be taking a sharp turn for the worse, and misfortunes began to befall him one by one.

The door to the room was pushed open.

Shimura Danzo opened his eyes, took a look, and then closed them again.

"Danzo, you should leave things to the younger people. You are old."

"Shut up! Hiruzen."

Danzo Shimura, who had been very calm just now, now had bloodshot eyes and a ferocious face as he stared at the third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen who was holding a pipe in his mouth.

"Danzo, you have put Konoha in a difficult situation."

Beep beep

The third generation Sarutobi Hiruzen exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at Shimura Danzo with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"The old man is not wrong."

Shimura Danzo could never have imagined that he just wanted to get a few useful spies, why would things turn out like this? The threats that were once so effective have become completely ineffective.

"From now on, you should reflect on yourself here!"

The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen said this and turned and left.

"Hiruzen, you will regret this."

The door was closed again, and the room became dark and silent again.

After an unknown amount of time, Danzo Shimura suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness.

"Go and bring that brat back to me!"

"Yes."

A voice was heard in the darkness, and then a figure flashed by.

Fast, fast, fast

A group of masked men wearing cloaks were moving quickly through the jungle, searching for a group of orphans who had left Konoha Village.

Blood spurts.

One of the cloaked men had his neck cut open and fell to the ground instantly.

"Enemy attack."

The person who spoke had his neck cut open the next moment before he could act.

...

Then there were several more cutting sounds, and a group of people were killed in an instant without a single one left.

When everyone was dead, a figure appeared, wiped the blood off the knife, and disappeared instantly.

Shimura Danzo, who had been waiting for news, did not get what he wanted. Instead, he received dozens of dead bodies and a more thorough deprivation of power.

...

In the past six months, Li Qing's height has grown rapidly again. Now he is about 1.6 meters tall. Tiantian got angry with him several times for this and once threatened to ignore him. As a result, after only half a day, he started looking for people again.

In fact, Tiantian was growing fast, and she was almost 1.2 meters tall. However, she had to look up every time to see Li Qing, which made her unhappy.

Tiantian is now much taller than her peers, and Li Qing no longer picks her up at any time, always feeling that she has grown up and needs to be avoided. But Tiantian doesn't agree. Whenever she thinks of it, she sticks to Li Qing like a piece of taffy.

After Li Qing's parents noticed the change in his height, they were both happy and worried. They were happy that their son had become a handsome young man at the age of one and a half, but they were also worried that he was too different from ordinary people. Especially after the scandal that came out a while ago, they were afraid that some root would know about their son's talent and take him for training or something.

So, Li Qing's parents discussed and decided to move!
