Roots, as its name suggests, are buried deep in the soil and grow in a dark and humid environment, but they do not climb to the ground to compete with the leaves.

Because this is the mission of the roots, silently absorbing nutrients from the soil and supplying the trees on the ground with the ability to thrive.

Again, this was the original intention when Konoha Roots was founded.

But suddenly one day, the roots of Konoha's big tree changed.

No, it was already spoiled from the beginning.

It began to be dissatisfied with the status quo. It wanted to overthrow the tree and climb to the ground to be the master.

And the big tree will not sit still and wait to die. In the eyes of the big tree, the rotten roots must be uprooted. Only by growing new roots can the big tree have a good future.

However, the roots and the tree are born as one, and anything that happens to either will cause the death of the whole.

Therefore, if they want to overthrow each other, they cannot move too much and must eat away at each other step by step. Only when the big tree grows new roots, or when the roots grow new saplings, will the day of turning against the tree come.

Just like the current situation in Konoha.

The war, with no visible gunpowder smoke, has a tendency to become more and more intense.

Just waiting for an opportunity, it will explode completely.

Here is the underground base at the root. There is obviously a wall lamp at a distance on the wall, but the flickering light makes the entire underground base look even more eerie.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded, and a short white-haired ninja wearing a demon fox mask walked over from the other end of the corridor.

At the end is a large door. Pushing the door open, a wide hall appears in front of you.

Looking around, there were a lot of ninjas wearing masks gathered together, as if they were discussing something.

But the strange thing is that although there are many people, no one speaks, and the entire hall falls into an eerie silence. So that the creak of the door became clearly audible.

"Kakashi, what's wrong?"

Danzo, who was standing on the high platform, looked towards the door with a very cold tone.

"Please take a leave of absence."

Three short and straightforward words, as if any more words would be a waste of energy.

But he had to do this. As a subordinate, if he needed to go out for personal matters, he would naturally ask for leave from his leader.

Although subordinates and leaders dislike each other.

"That's right."

He gave the same cold voice and seemed not worried at all.

Because Danzo was extremely certain, even if Kakashi went to report to Namikaze Minato, he would not be able to report any results.

Since Kakashi joined Nene, Danzo has given Kakashi almost all authority, and has not assigned him tasks, allowing him to operate in Nene.

He can go wherever he wants, and let him check whatever information he wants. He is said to be a subordinate, but he is completely serving him like a boss.

But after so many days, has Kakashi discovered anything else?

As for today's regular meeting, Danzo didn't hide anything from Kakashi.

Even if Kakashi wanted to join in, there would be no problem.

As soon as Kakashi left, Danzo's eyes flashed with sarcasm.

"Innocent."

But I don't know if this innocent sentence is talking about Kakashi, or if it means something else.

Looking back, Danzo said to everyone in the audience: "Today, the convoy transporting the last war compensation from the Kingdom of Water has entered the territory of the Kingdom of Fire. At that time, everyone must cooperate with the Anbu to take safety precautions to ensure the war. Compensation arrives safely in Konoha.”

"Also, regarding the Kingdom of Thunder, although Yunyin Village has the intention to withdraw its troops, we still cannot be careless in the slightest. We must do a good job in intelligence work to guard against accidents."

"also"

It looked like a normal meeting, with no mention of the current situation in Konoha.

But at this moment, an exclamation rang out: "Hey, Uncle Danzo, it's a meeting!"

It's like pouring water into a frying pan and poking a hornet's nest with the pole.

The entire hall became chaotic for a moment.

All the ninjas were sitting on the ground one second, and the next second they stood up with kunai shurikens in their hands. They kept looking around, looking very alert.

Even Danzo cursed secretly: "Damn it."

No one was seen, but the voice and tone indicated the identity of the visitor.

"Qiao Qianno!"

Before that, Danzo had done enough analysis on Qiao Qiannuo's ability, and it was suspected that it was some kind of earth escape type blood stain limit, which could release earth escape ninjutsu without seal.

In particular, Qiao Qiannuo's ability to walk freely through the earth and rocks made Danzo envious for a while.

This is simply a natural intelligence worker. If he has such subordinates, what kind of information cannot be obtained?

There are only two ways to prevent Qiao Qiannuo's invasion, either to use a barrier to guard, or to let the sensing ninja sense continuously throughout the day.

But these two methods have great limitations.

The first is the barrier, which is divided into permanent barrier and temporary barrier. The permanent barrier will only be used to protect absolutely important things.

It's like the barrier in the prison room, where many extremely dangerous felons are imprisoned. In order to prevent them from escaping and causing huge damage, a permanent barrier was specially built.

This type of barrier consumes huge amounts of resources. Why Qiao Qiannuo rescued the prisoners from the punishment room, but Konoha still did not improve the boundary between the punishment room, is for this reason.

As for the temporary barrier built by the ninja, let alone the temporary barrier built by the ninja. The chakra of the ninja is limited. If it can be protected for a while, can it be protected forever?

The same goes for sentient ninjas. For example, the Hyuga clan, if you let them roll their eyes for a whole day, try it.

Therefore, Danzo has always been extremely vigilant towards Qiao Qiannuo.

Why is Danzo trying every possible means to drive Qiao Qianno out of Konoha? Isn't it because he is worried that Qiao Qianno will help Namikaze Minato steal his information?

He wasn't worried about Kakashi, because Kakashi would never be able to find the secret he was hiding.

Just because Kakashi can't be found doesn't mean Qiao Qiannuo can't be found.

In the face of this ability to travel freely through earth and rocks, all defensive facilities constructed of earth and rocks will have no effect.

I never thought that what I was so worried about before would actually happen.

But what makes Danzo confused is that his plan has obviously been successful, but why Qiao Qianno returned to Konoha again and pointed directly at his base, catching him off guard as soon as he arrived.

But doubts were instantly replaced by worries about whether his secrets had been discovered by Qiao Qiannuo.

As everyone knows, Qiao Qiannuo already knows his secret without even having to investigate.

Also, what is Qiao Qiannuo’s purpose of exposing himself?

Danzo looked up at the ceiling.

Although he couldn't see anyone, he already knew that Qiao Qiannuo was hidden in the stone wall of the ceiling.

Because just now, a strong chakra wave was transmitted on the ceiling.

"Is it that trick again? Use a large amount of chakra to interfere with the ninja's perception, thereby hiding yourself."

Danzo murmured, then took a deep breath, pretended to be calm, and asked: "Qiao Qiannuo, since you are here, why don't you show up."

As soon as he said this, I saw a head suddenly popping up in the middle of the ceiling. Who else could it be if it wasn't Qiao Qiannuo?

Qiao Qiannuo chuckled and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to help but beat me!"

Sure enough, before he finished speaking, a ninja couldn't hold back his hand and hit Qiao Qiannuo's head with several kunai shurikens and the like.

Only the clanking sound of metal collision was heard, and Qiao Qiannuo's head was immediately smashed to pieces, but what fell to the ground were some gravels.

"No, what I said is right!"

An angry look flashed across Danzo's face, but he shouted at the ninjas below: "Stop it, let's fight here. Do you want to bury yourselves alive?"

As he spoke, Danzo cursed fiercely: "A bunch of idiots."

Then he looked up again and said: "Qiao Qiannuo, I think you won't expose yourself for no reason. Please be direct and explain your purpose."

On the ceiling, Qiao Qiannuo's figure appeared, but stopped at his waist.

But now no one dares to take action anymore, not only because they can't determine whether the half of the body in front of them is a stone or the real body, but also because of Danzo's words.

Others did not kill him, but he died in his own hands.

You must know that the entire root base is buried deep underground, and they do not have Qiao Qiannuo's ability to travel through the earth and rocks. Once the fighting is too fierce and the base collapses, few people present will survive.

I saw Qiao Qiannuo with one hand on his hips and one finger pointing at Danzo. His eyes were wide open and he said angrily: "Uncle Danzo, do you know? That subordinate of yours, the one named Yamanaka, is really too insidious. Yes. The spiritual imprint of their mountain clan was secretly left on the scroll."

While speaking, Qiao Qiannuo was still staring at Danzo, and suddenly noticed that when he said the word "spiritual mark", Danzo's expression trembled slightly.

It seems that Danzo did not know that Yamanaka Masuru left a spiritual imprint on the scroll.

But if Danzo didn't know, how could he be sure that he could make Namikaze Minato general Yamanaka Masuru's death suspect Qiao Qianno?

Qiao Qiannuo didn't think too much about this. Danzo, an old boss, might have other methods. The spiritual imprint left by Masuzu Yamanaka might just happen to match him. Then he spread his hands and asked, "What do you think happened in the end?"

How can I guess what happened to you?

Danzo immediately straightened his face.

In his opinion, Qiao Qiannuo was just pretending. This kind of thing made it clear that he was plotting against Qiao Qiannuo. Everyone knew it, so why bother to say it in another way.

"Hey!" Qiao Qiannuo sighed and said, "The result was that I had a silly fight with Minato Namikaze, and that guy wanted me to explain the origin of the scroll, and then, for my own sake, I Save"

His tone suddenly stopped.

Danzo was immediately stunned and asked with a guilty conscience: "Did you say that?"

It's not okay to force his subordinates to hand over family secrets to outsiders without feeling guilty. Once this kind of thing spreads, it will be difficult for him to get along in Konoha.

In Konoha, those families that rely on secret techniques to gain a foothold in the ninja world can almost be described as clustered together.

There are three Inozuka, Aburame, Hatake, Sunset and so on.

Although what he revealed was the secret technique of the mountain clan, not the secret technique of other families. But we are both members of the occult family, and they will definitely not like this kind of behavior.

The reason why Danzo was not worried before was because in the picture he envisioned, as long as Qiao Qiannuo was not stupid, he would never dare to reveal the contents of the scroll unless he wanted to be hunted endlessly by Konoha.

And as long as Qiao Qiannuo doesn't say anything, Danzo will definitely not be affected.

Besides, under normal circumstances, if you are targeted by Namikaze Minato, you shouldn't stay away from Konoha, right?

Why doesn't the other party play according to common sense?

Qiao Qiannuo said with a very helpless tone: "There is no way, Minato Namikaze won't let me go until I tell him, so I told him honestly that you, Uncle Danzo, gave it to me."

As soon as the words changed, he immediately said: "But Uncle Danzo can rest assured that I will never reveal the contents of the scroll to Namikaze Minato."

It's just that when I hear these words, it's harsh no matter how hard I hear them.

Even with Danzo's patience, veins popped out on his forehead.

"Qiao Qiannuo, what do you want to do? Please tell me directly. I don't have time to listen to your hypocritical complaints here."

Qiao Qiannuo smacked his lips and said, "Okay, I just happen to be in a hurry."

But then, Qiao Qiannuo's tone suddenly turned cold and said: "Duanzo, the scroll you gave me is a hot potato. The people of the mountain clan can lock the position of the scroll at any time, but I don't know why. , no Konoha ninja has found me during this period. But I don’t want my whereabouts to be controlled by others, so I took advantage of this period to give the scroll to others. "

"Giving it away?" Danzo had a bad feeling in his heart.

"That's right, I gave it away. It's none other than Orochimaru's subordinate, a girl named Guren. I don't know if you recognize her."

Danzo's face darkened for a moment. He had been partnered with Orochimaru for so long, how could he not know who Guren was?

And he also knew that Guren had been captured by Namikaze Minato and was imprisoned in the torture room, seemingly with the intention of using it against him.

Even he cannot visit prisoners in the severe punishment room without the Hokage's approval.

Combined with the previous words, Qiao Qiannuo's purpose is very clear.

Give the scroll to Guren. As long as the mountain clan finds Guren, they will immediately discover that the content of the scroll is their family's secret technique. Qiao Qiannuo also said that this was given to him by Danzo. In this way, Danzo Deliberately leaking the secrets of the Yamanaka clan must be exposed to Namikaze Minato.

And Namikaze Minato will not miss this opportunity and seize this to attack Danzo.

Especially in this internal battle between him and Namikaze Minato, many families are in a wait-and-see mode and do not help each other.

But once Namikaze Minato publicizes this matter, these secret arts and even the blood-stained boundary families will inevitably become disgusted with Danzo and turn to Namikaze Minato.

If Danzo doesn't want to see such a scene happen, he must rescue Guren first and destroy the scroll before the mountain clan finds Guren.

This is forcing him to attack Namikaze Minato in advance when he is not fully prepared.

Danzo had to praise him for his cleverness.

With a scroll, he not only avenged his plot, but also avenged Namikaze Minato's pursuit.

Then he looked up again, but Qiao Qiannuo's figure was long gone on the ceiling.
