Travel through Konoha and open treasure chests

And what the "Root" department cultivates are not ninjas in the conventional sense, but a group of killing machines that have given up personal feelings and only have the function of executing orders.

The so-called root person has no name and no emotions.

There is no past and no future, there is only a mission in my heart

Just by looking at these two mottos that root ninjas regard as the guideline for all actions, we can see the nature of the root.

"Danzo-sama, Asakawa Hakuha has been brought here."

The root ninja who led Bai Mingyu over earlier stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Okay, you go down."

Danzo Furui nodded slightly without hesitation, looked at Asakawa Hakuha with his unbandaged eye, and asked with scrutiny in his eyes. "You are the child named Asakawa Shiroha"

"Yes. I don't know if Master Danzo called me here to give you any instructions." Bai Mingyu took a forced breath and replied in a neither humble nor arrogant tone.

Although he dare not offend Danzo at this time, his current status can be regarded as a genin with Konoha's establishment. The subordinates led by Nara Shikaku are not ninjas at the root, so there is no need to kowtow to him.

Danzo did not answer Bai Mingyu, but looked him up and down, and suddenly said: "I saw the battle between you and Izumi Uchiha when you participated in the graduation examination, and it was a wonderful fight."

"Um"

Bai Mingyu's eyes moved slightly, and he was a little unsure of Danzo's intentions. He didn't know if he should be humble at this time.

Danzo looked at him indifferently and continued: "It is really surprising that a child from a foreign village can grow to this point in just half a year. And as far as I know, apart from what was revealed in the examination room that day The water escape and thunder escape ninjutsu, you seem to have the blood inheritance limit of the ice escape clan of Kirigakure Village, as well as another extremely special ability.

When this ability appears, not only will your whole body's appearance and posture undergo some changes, but even the total amount of chakra in your body will nearly double. I'm right, right?"

""

Suddenly, Bai Mingyu's heart sank.

Sure enough, it was still exposed

In the cave, because there were four ice walls to block it, the scene where he locked Jugo with the Sky Lock and forced the latter to break away from the cursed state was not seen by Aburame Tune. This is something to be thankful for. . But his ability to transform into a half-animal was witnessed by Aburame Tune.

Whether it was when he sneaked into the cave or fought with the violent Zhongwu, if this state had not been turned on, Bai Mingyu might have been killed by Zhongwu in the Curse Seal 2 state.

If it were someone else, he might have been able to find an excuse to cover it up, but Aburame took the root

This guy's bug has the ability to sense chakra. This change of doubling the attribute value and total amount of chakra in the half-animal state cannot be hidden from him.

What's more, there are also lion-shaped animal ears and finger claws

These cannot be explained by the blood inheritance limit.

Is it time for a showdown?

Bai Mingyu's thoughts were changing rapidly, and for a moment, he had already prepared for the worst.

However, as soon as his mind moved, before he could take action, the two root ninjas who were originally standing behind Danzo seemed to have noticed something. They took a step forward and protected Danzo, while staring closely at him. Bai Mingyu's face changed slightly, and he shouted: "Danzo-sama, be careful"

""

Bai Mingyu suddenly clenched his palms.

Just when the atmosphere suddenly became tense, Danzo suddenly waved his hand and said slowly: "Everyone, stand down."

"Master Danzo"

The two root ninjas subconsciously wanted to explain. When their eyes came into contact with Danzo, they immediately fell silent and silently stepped aside.

After warning his two subordinates with his eyes, Danzo looked back at Bai Mingyu: "Everyone here, including me, everyone has their own secrets. You don't need to tell me your secrets, and I don't want to." To pierce it, I just ask you here, Asakawa Shiroyu, are you willing to join the root?"

""

"As you can see, this is the territory of the roots, and under the strong appearance of Konoha, it supports the foundation of all prosperity. If the Third Hokage you see in daily life is a leaf bathed in the sun, Then I, Shimura Danzo, am the root hidden in the darkness.

By joining Root, you can get the best resources and training, and even my personal guidance, and you can grow into an outstanding ninja faster than others, and these are the things that everyone else, even you, admire. Even the Third Hokage can't give it to you. "

Danzo said slowly in a gloomy voice: "Of course, you can also refuse my invitation. Root will never force others to do things they don't want to do."

Bai Mingyu raised his eyebrows. Danzo chose to win over him at this time, which was a bit unexpected.

But what about this rhetoric?

What is the foundation that supports everything, and what other roots hidden in the darkness will really put gold on one’s face?

Bai Mingyu has no doubt that if he really joins the Gen, he will be thoroughly investigated from the inside out within a few days. In order to obtain a better blood inheritance limit, Danzo has already transplanted the Senju into himself. Hashirama's cells and Sharingan have also been coveting the existing Uchiha clan's Sharingan for a long time. If possible, he would not mind transplanting a few more body organs from others.

Even if it is true as he said, and he does not forcefully pry into his secrets, once he joins the root, his future life will inevitably be dark.

But if you refuse face to face

Don't force others

Is it really as simple as Danzo said?

After taking a few deep breaths, Bai Mingyu calmed down the throbbing in his heart, and thoughts were racing through his mind.

There wasn't much time left for him to think. Danzo was obviously not a very patient person, so for now, he could only find ways to delay time. Thinking of this, Bai Mingyu slowly said: "Danzo-sama, I"

"who"

Suddenly, a commotion came from behind.

You can vaguely hear the shouts of some people, the brief ping-pong-pong sound of swords clashing, and finally the sound of footsteps.

Bai Mingyu glanced back and saw a white figure approaching quickly in the passage leading to the underground hall. After a few short exchanges, several root ninjas around him who tried to block his progress were repelled one by one.

Finally, someone used a teleportation technique and appeared in the hall.

"who is it"

Danzo squinted his eyes, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. The two subordinates next to him had already drawn their swords out of their sheaths and made a ready posture. In the entire Konoha, few people dare to trespass into the roots.
