Pirates: Beginning with the Patrolman.

Danzo's inexplicable disappearance will not cause any practical impact on Konoha Village, but the Third Hokage still hopes to find him.

"I've seen it."

Remos nodded and admitted honestly, "On the day we returned from the mission, Danzo-sama came to invite me to join the Root organization."

Did he really do that?

The third generation was a little unhappy. He had clearly warned Danzo, but Danzo ignored his orders and still came to Remos secretly without telling him. What did this mean? It meant that Danzo didn't take him seriously at all.

But he didn't have an attack immediately, instead he took a deep breath.

"What did you say? Did you promise him?"

"of course not."

Remos shook his head. "He promised to give me all the ninjutsu I wanted, including all the forbidden techniques in the village. He also agreed to let me be his deputy and promised not to put any seals on me... But I still wanted to walk under the sun, so I rejected him."

In fact, Danzo only promised to give him ninjutsu, nothing else, but now that Remos said it, the Third Generation did not suspect that he was lying.

The reason is very simple, because things like the seal are impossible for others to know about except Danzo himself.

Danzo has mastered quite a few sealing techniques.

For example, the previous Inner Four Symbols Seal, the Seal of Rooting Out Tongue Trouble and the Seal of Self-Karma Binding were also sealing techniques that he often used.

The former is a sealing jutsu used exclusively by the Root Organization, which is a curse seal that prevents people from revealing confidential information. If the person being cast wants to say something related to a specific matter, his whole body will be paralyzed and he will be unable to move. Danzo put this curse seal on the tongues of all members of the Root Organization to restrain his subordinates and prevent them from revealing their secrets.

These seals can only be maintained as long as Danzo is alive. Once he dies, these seals will disappear.

That's why the Root ninjas were able to quickly realize that something was wrong with him.

Everyone says that he is missing, but that is just a nice way of saying it. In the ninja world, in the ninja circle, losing contact can actually be regarded as death, there is no doubt about that.

As for the Seal of Self-Bound Curse, it is a sealing technique used on enemies. The person who is hit by this technique will have strip-like patterns appearing on his body one after another, covering the whole body, and then all his movements will be sealed, and he will be fixed in place and unable to move.

The three sealing techniques are all Danzo's secrets, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to know them. The third generation also knows some of the situation because he has been with Danzo for many years and it was he who supported Danzo.

But Remos was different. He and Danzo had nothing to do with each other before. In the eyes of the Third Generation, the fact that he could say such words now was evidence that Danzo had made the promise himself.

As for the fact that Remos rejected Danzo, this made the Third Generation even more satisfied.

The reasons he gave were also very reasonable.

Although being a ninja is a profession of killing, who would be willing to be a rat that cannot see the sun if given the chance?

As for the ninjutsu that Danzo promised, the Third Hokage could certainly give it to him. The Third Hokage kept holding Remos back for a simple reason, he was just worried that he would bite off more than he could chew. As long as Remos had enough talent, sooner or later he would open all the forbidden techniques of Konoha Village to him and let him choose freely.

This wasn't a problem at all.

"You did a good job. Although Danzo's invitation seemed good, there must be a price behind it. You were right to reject him... and then? What happened after he met you?"

"Nothing happened. After I rejected Danzo-sama, he just asked me to think about it and then left. What happened? Sandaime-sama? Did something happen to Danzo-sama?"

Remus asked belatedly.

"He has lost contact, but it is more likely that he has died. Did he tell you where he was going before he left?"

"No."

"Think carefully, what did he say?"

"Nothing."

Remus still shook his head.

Three generations of silence.

Danzo didn't say anything before he left, which was normal. After all, Remos was not his subordinate yet. And even if Remos agreed to join the Root, given Danzo's personality, he probably wouldn't say anything. He was not the kind of person who would trust others casually.

"Okay, I know about this. You can take a rest. I'll leave first."

The third generation stood up and said with a smile.

Remos hurriedly sent Sandai out.

After the third generation left, he smiled slightly, blinked, and his right eye turned red. Then he blinked again, and his eyes turned black again.

"My eyes can now be controlled freely, and I also got a new ninjutsu. It's really a good thing that good things come in pairs."

There is another good thing, that is, the progress of the hunting destiny has been improved by 1%. That was obtained after killing Danzo. I don’t know from which angle the compatibility with him was increased. Danzo seems to have no grudge against him.

But never mind, as long as there is improvement, it's fine. I just don't know how the pioneering destiny is going. Now the pioneering destiny panel is dark, the originally rotating vortex has solidified, and there is no visual progress bar or anything like that, so he doesn't know whether his pioneering destiny has improved so far.

We can only wait slowly.

Remos returned to the room and continued to look through the scrolls, learning the ninjutsu on them.

On the other side, after the Third Generation returned to the office, he sent out the Konoha Anbu to look for Danzo's trace.

Unfortunately, Danzo died in the Land of Waves, and he traveled thousands of kilometers in a single breath. No matter how much the Anbu expanded their search, they could not find the real battlefield. It was even more impossible to find Danzo's body, because he had long been sealed by the Four Symbols Seal.

The only evidence at the moment is the blood that was spilled in Remos's house and the arm outside Konoha Village.

But the blood had been wiped off by Lemons, and even if the final broken arm was found, no one could prove that it was Danzo's remains.

In short, this secret ninja died silently, and his body was never found, truly achieving the state of no one seeing him alive nor his body after his death.

In the end, Konoha Village could only determine that Danzo was missing. Since no body was found, it was difficult to directly define him as dead.

The Root organization was split up, and its members were scattered into the Anbu and ninja teams. The Root headquarters was also taken over by the Third Generation, where he found a lot of deadly things, but this is not something outsiders can know.

In short, Danzo's death did not cause any waves in Konoha Village, and even other people in the Shimura clan did not care about it.

In the following days, in addition to daily studies, Remos followed the team to go out on missions.

A few months passed in a flash, and soon it was the day of the Chunin Exam.
