Chapter 117 Danzo personally takes action, and Yuhi Kurenai’s calculations; the third generation: Danzo, you have to understand
A new day quietly arrives, and Konoha Village gradually wakes up in the morning light.
The rising sun is like a dazzling gem, emitting warm light and spreading golden light all over the earth.
The birds chirp softly on the treetops, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet morning.
In another corner of Konoha Village, where the sun cannot reach.
The third base at the root.
In the dim corridor, only a few faint lights flickered faintly, like ghost lights in the dark.
In the cold air, there was a hint of chill, which made people shudder.
In a secret room at the deepest part of the base, Shimura Danzo was hiding in the darkness, as if he had merged with the shadow.
Sitting quietly on an ancient wooden chair, Danzo had a sneer on his face, and his eyes flashed a strange light in the darkness.
”I recovered faster than I expected.” Danzo muttered to himself, his voice was low and gloomy, as if it came from the depths of hell.
The next second, Danzo stretched out a hand and felt the strength gradually returning to his body.
Compared to yesterday, he recovered more today.
At least, he could stand up.
Thinking so, Danzo slowly stood up and stretched his muscles, as if he was testing his recovery.
The movement seemed a little stiff, but with a few deep breaths, the state gradually stabilized.
For a while, Danzo was in a very happy mood.
At this speed, within a few days, he will be able to fully recover his mobility.
”Master Danzo.”
Just then, a Root ninja appeared in front of Danzo and whispered, “Someone is missing again.”
”What!?”
Hearing this, Danzo’s face darkened instantly: “Who?”
The situation has calmed down in the past few days, how could someone else be missing?
He had obviously withdrawn all the Root ninjas around the Hyuga clan, so there was no possibility of missing.
The root has suffered a lot of losses now, and every Root ninja is a precious asset, which cannot be lost casually.
Not to mention, it’s still missing.
“It was Zhu Ling from yesterday.”
The Root ninja whispered, “When he sent you snail noodles yesterday, you asked him to get a recipe for snail noodles. He hasn’t come back yet. We looked for him and found that he disappeared.”
”Zhu Ling?”
Hearing this, Danzo frowned, “How could it be him?”
You know, the Root ninja who can send him food is already one of his confidants.
How could he disappear inexplicably?
Zhu Ling couldn’t have defected, he was promoted by him.
Didn’t he just ask him to get a recipe back, how could he disappear? ”Is it related to Ichiraku Ramen?”
Danzo looked at the subordinate in front of him suspiciously.
What a joke.
Getting a ramen shop and the recipe of snail noodles is not difficult for the Root Ninja.
How could a living person disappear?
”We explored Ichiraku Ramen Shop and the newly opened snail noodle shop this morning, but we didn’t find any results.”
The Root Ninja whispered, “But the door lock of the newly opened snail noodle shop has signs of being damaged. It was Zhu Ling’s work, but there is only that one sign. Apart from that, there are no other clues.”
”You mean, he went into the newly opened snail noodle shop and disappeared?”
Danzo tapped the table lightly with his fingers, and each tap was like a warning bell in people’s hearts. He said coldly, “How big is that shop?”
How could a living person disappear in a shop?
“We are also wondering about this.”
The Root Ninja whispered: “There is no sign of fighting at the scene. It is not ruled out that Zhu Ling has taken the formula and left. You know how popular snail noodles are. If you take this formula to other places, it is very likely that you can quickly accumulate money. This is our most likely guess.”
”Impossible.”
Hearing this, Danzo shook his head decisively.
The Root Ninja he cultivated personallyHow could a ninja from the Root betray him at will? Although Zhu Ling was not trained by him since childhood, he had set up the seal to eradicate the root of the tongue, and he had completed several tasks arranged by him. He had a handle on her. How could she betray him easily?
”No.”
Danzo, who was shaking his head, suddenly twitched his eyelids.
It’s not impossible.
He didn’t have complete control over the life and death of this guy.
If the other party betrayed, as long as he didn’t tell the secrets of himself and the Root, then escaping far away seemed to be possible?
Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.
It shouldn’t be.
But there is this possibility.
The formula value of snail noodles seems to be enough for a ninja to take risks.
He has tried this delicacy himself and likes it very much, otherwise he would not have arranged for someone to get the formula.
“Help me go to these two stores, I will personally inspect them.”
Danzo said coldly: “At present, they are just missing. In addition to defection, I also think that it may be the work of the Hyuga clan.”
After all, several of his Root ninjas were made missing by the Hyuga clan.
Now another ninja is missing, it seems not unreasonable? But where does the Hyuga clan get the courage? Dare to attack the Root ninjas again and again.
There is absolutely no benefit.
Now in his opinion, he and the Hyuga clan have temporarily “stopped”.
At least he did not arrange the Root ninjas to monitor the Hyuga clan, and the Hyuga clan should be more “sensible” and would not attack the Root ninjas.
After all, the Root is under the Anbu! “Yes.”
After hearing Danzo’s words, this Root Ninja immediately disguised himself, and then took Danzo out of the Root Base and headed to Ichiraku Ramen.
When he arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, Danzo glanced and found Sarutobi Asuma and his team sitting there.
”Danzo.”
And Sarutobi Asuma, who brought his team to eat ramen, looked at the arrival of Danzo with astonishment in his eyes.
Why did this guy come to Ichiraku Ramen? Didn’t he say that he had been recuperating in the Root Base? ”Well, it’s dangerous.”
Next to him, Yamanaka Ino looked over and immediately felt the cold and dark breath coming towards her, making Ino swallow subconsciously and decisively shift her gaze at the first time.
As if he noticed Yamanaka Ino’s gaze, Danzo looked over, causing Yamanaka Ino’s heart to skip a beat.
She felt as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and that feeling could not be stopped.
But in a moment, this feeling disappeared.
”Don’t release chakra perception at will, it’s impolite, Ino.”
Sarutobi Asuma smiled and put a bowl of ramen in front of Yamanaka Ino, indicating that Yamanaka Ino should eat first.
”Teacher Asuma.”
Hearing this, Yamanaka Ino was relieved.
In Asuma’s sight, Danzo walked directly into Ichiraku Ramen Shop.
After a round of inspection, he left, and Asuma frowned slightly, not understanding Danzo’s behavior.
”You eat first.”
Asuma instructed Yamanaka Ino and others, then stood up and walked out.
He was still quite curious about Danzo’s behavior.
As for fear, it didn’t exist.
So let’s take a look. Seeing that Danzo didn’t seem to be hiding anything, Asuma Sarutobi was very curious about why Danzo came to Ichiraku Ramen for no apparent reason.
If it was anyone else, he would not take it seriously.
But Danzo.
”Danzo-sama.”
The Root Ninja who had already left the ramen shop, while pushing Danzo, noticed Asuma following behind, and immediately whispered.
”No need to worry about it.”
Danzo shook his head. He was just here to take a look, and there was nothing shameful about it.
As long as Asuma Sarutobi didn’t follow him to his Root base.
Under Asuma’s attention, Danzo and the Root Ninja came to the snail noodle shop opened by Ayame.
”Hong!”
When Asuma Sarutobi saw the figure of Yuhi Kurenai appear in the snail noodle shop, his eyes lit up.
I actually saw Yuhi Kurenai here.
Since he knew that Yuhi Kurenai went to Ichiraku Ramen to eat snail noodles, he immediately took his team there every day.
But I didn’t see her these two days.
I didn’t expect that Yuhi Kurenai would come to this newly opened snail noodle shop.Then, I will bring Shikamaru and the others here to eat. At this time.
In the snail noodle shop opened by Ayame, Kurenai Yuhi also noticed the arrival of Danzo, and her brows frowned slightly without leaving a trace.
As a jonin of Konoha Village, she is not unaware of Shimura Danzo, the Hokage advisor.
Even because Asuma often came to her, she knew more about Danzo.
And Danzo also saw Kurenai Yuhi, and his brows frowned slightly.
Is the business of this snail noodle shop so hot? Even Kurenai Yuhi is here.
Then, the root ninja who followed him asked Ayame to be busy in the name of buying a bowl of snail noodles.
Danzo also observed Ayame and glanced around, but did not find anything he wanted.
Finally, Danzo led his people away.
”What a weird guy, leaving now?”
Acorus, who had just brought out a bowl of snail noodles, was shocked to see that Danzo and the other two had disappeared.
Are you kidding me? ”Acorus, why don’t you close the shop for the next two days?”
Yuhi Kurenai looked at Acorus and said, “Those two guys just now are not ordinary people.”
Danzo from the Root suddenly brought people here, but Yuhi Kurenai didn’t think that they were here to eat snail noodles.
”Eh? Not ordinary people, ninjas?”
Hearing Yuhi Kurenai’s words, Acorus scratched his head and hesitated, “Then there’s no need to close the shop.”
I just opened the shop, and I was thinking about seeing Lin Mo here every day.
If I close it for two days, it will be a loss.
“Well, that’s a ninja from the Anbu of Konoha. They came here suddenly. Maybe something happened.”
Yuhi Kurenai thought for a moment and said, “I’ll be free next time. I’ll come over and sit with you.”
This way, she has a reason to stay here and observe Lin Mo’s shop.
”Anbu?”
Hearing Yuhi Kurenai’s words, Ayame was stunned and said hesitantly, “Some time ago, patrolling ninjas and Anbu ninjas went to Ichiraku Ramen to ask if there were any suspicious people. Could it be related to the explosion? Has it not been found out yet?”
When there was an explosion in Konoha Village before, many ninjas took action.
Her Ichiraku Ramen had also encountered many ninjas asking before.
This is a very normal thing.
“Maybe.”
Yuhi Kurenai laughed heartily and said, “Since you are not going to close the store, I will bring the team here after training today. If there is any emergency, I can also help.”
”Yeah, thank you.”
Hearing Yuhi Kurenai’s words, Ayame nodded immediately and thanked Yuhi Kurenai.
Then, Yuhi Kurenai said goodbye to Ayame and left.
At this time, it was almost time for Hyuga Hinata and others to gather.
”Hong.”
Not long after Yuhi Kurenai walked out of the snail noodle shop, Asuma looked at Yuhi Kurenai and said hello.
”Yes, Asuma.”
Yuhi Kurenai nodded, as a nod and a greeting: “Good morning.”
”Um, Kurenai, do you have time today?”
Asuma hesitated; “After the team training is over, we can sit down and let the children chat.”
”I don’t have the time, sorry.”
Hearing Asuma’s words, Yuhi Kurenai shook her head immediately: “I’m a little busy, the children can only communicate later when I’m free.”
”Okay.”
Hearing Yuhi Kurenai’s words, Asuma sighed immediately, very disappointed.
Then Yuhi Kurenai said goodbye to Asuma and left.
Seeing Yuhi Kurenai leaving, Asuma scratched his head, wanting to say something, but finally turned into a deep sigh.
”Danzo-sama.”
At this time.
The Root Ninja who had already left said respectfully as he walked with Danzo: “We can’t find Zhu Ling, what should we do next?”
”This shop is so small, Zhu Ling’s disappearance should be due to escape, or it could be the work of the Hyuga clan.”
Shimura Danzo frowned and said: “It has nothing to do with the shop. At the same time, keep your eyes on the outside of the village and send intelligence personnel to ask them to investigate whether there are any shops related to snail noodles.”
”In addition, the next actions of the Root Ninja will be in groups of three, avoiding the territory of the Hyuga clan. I speculate that it may be the Hyuga clan behind the scenes.”
For no reason, a living person suddenly disappeared. Shimura Danzo felt that only the Hyuga clan could do this.
After all, there is a precedent.
”Yes.”
ListenAt Danzo’s words, the Root Ninja nodded respectfully.
”Master Danzo.”
Just then, another Root Ninja quickly came to Danzo.
While presenting a butterfly dart, he said respectfully: “I found a new type of ninja tool. Judging from the shape, it is much more convenient than the kunai and the hand.”
”New ninja tool?”
Hearing this, Danzo frowned, took it and looked at it, and suddenly narrowed his eyes: “What a vicious ninja tool.”
With just one glance, Danzo judged that this butterfly dart was much more vicious than the kunai.
And the quality is lighter.
”Send a group of people to see if they can copy it.”
Immediately, Danzo directly ordered: “In addition, bring the research and development personnel here to see if he can develop it specifically for my root. At the same time, collect these ninja tools immediately and don’t let them flow out.”
This kind of good thing must be mastered in one’s own hands.
Only in this way can the root protect the village better.
”Danzo-sama, we can’t collect them.”
Hearing Danzo’s words, this root member hesitated for a moment and said: “This is developed by a ninja tool shop. This ninja tool has swept the entire Konoha and is very popular. The Hokage’s Anbu even found this ninja tool shop and ordered a batch of ninja tools. At present, this ninja tool is in short supply.”
”What do you do for a living!”
Hearing this, Danzo was furious and coldly scolded: “You didn’t report this thing to me as soon as it appeared?”
How could Hiruzen’s action be faster than him? ”Danzo-sama, we have been staying in the base for the past two days and have no way to pay attention to some things in Konoha Village.”
Seeing the furious Danzo, this root ninja whispered: “We only know about this ninja tool today.”
They have been hiding in the base for the past few days.
Even if they came out, they would just wander around and be alert to all directions. How could they have time to pay attention to some situations in Konoha Village?
”Damn it!”
Hearing this, Danzo’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.
If it wasn’t for that bastard who attacked him, how could such a thing be spread out! ”Go to the Hokage’s office!”
Danzo said coldly.
Since Sarutobi Hiruzen’s Anbu has established cooperation, it’s just right. Just persuade the Third Hokage to jointly block this ninja tool and suppress it.
Then this ninja tool still belongs to the Root.
Thinking so, Danzo brought people to the Hokage’s office.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed that someone had pushed the door open directly, he immediately looked up.
When he saw that it was Danzo again, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyelids twitched violently.
Why is it Danzo again?
“Hiruzen, this kind of thing must be collected as soon as possible.”
Danzo, who came in, threw the butterfly dart directly in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen and said in a deep voice: “Compared with kunai and shuriken, this kind of hidden weapon is more harmful. If left unattended, it will pose a great threat to the village.”
“Only by collecting it can we better protect the village.”
“Although it is very harmful, it is just a new type of ninja tool.”
Hearing Danzo’s words, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said: “I have arranged for the Anbu to reserve a batch, so there is no need to be so nervous.”
“In addition, you have not paid for several batches of ninja tools that you pre-ordered in the name of the Anbu. I have also settled the bill. This amount of resources will be deducted from your order.”
“My root has suffered heavy losses now, and you are still withholding my resources?”
Hearing this, Danzo’s face suddenly became ugly: “Do you know the importance of building an Anbu base?”
Originally, a batch of resources was needed to complete the third root base.
But before I could report to Sarutobi Hiruzen for it, he took it away first? Then my own Root Base was still being built in vain.
”It’s not withholding, Danzo.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said, “You obviously took a lot of resources before, but the list you submitted doesn’t match at all, and you also pre-ordered ninja tools in the name of the Anbu in the village, and it has not been settled so far. This is not okay. If this goes on, what if the ninja tool shop in the village is closed?”
”I won’t interfere with the construction of the third Root Base now, and I can’t give you the resources you want.”
”After all, the situation in the village is not very rich now, you have to understand.”
