Chapter 179 Danzo: He will agree! Danzo: I invite you to join on behalf of the Root
He glanced coldly at Oboro who was still lying on the ground.
Then he slowly closed his palm and stood back to where he was.
Oboro coughed heavily and wanted to stand up, but found that the strength of his whole body had been completely sealed by Neji, and even moving became a luxury.
”Damn brat.”
Feeling the condition of his body, Oboro’s face was full of unwillingness.
Because his illusion has not been cast yet.
The attack speed of this brat is too fast.
At this moment, he has lost the ability to fight! ”The winner is Neji Hyuga!”
The next second, Moonlight Gale stepped forward, confirmed Oboro’s condition, and announced the result of the game without hesitation.
Seeing this, Hyuga Neji walked off the field.
”Hiruzen!”
Looking at this scene, Danzo turned his gaze to Sarutobi Hiruzen: “This kid from the branch of the Hyuga clan is qualified to enter my Root and become a member of the Root.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen: “.”
Hearing Danzo’s words, Sarutobi Hiruzen’s eyelids twitched.
What nonsense is Danzo talking about? ”The decision-making power of the branch of the Hyuga clan is not in my hands.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo speechlessly: “You can go to Hyuga Hiashi to get the list and apply.”
They actually want Hyuga Neji to enter the Root, what a joke.
There’s no way Hyuga Hiashi will agree.
“Hyuga Hiashi can’t agree.”
When Danzo Shimura heard what Sarutobi Hiruzen said, his face darkened and he said coldly: “But I only want your consent. I will personally talk to the little ghosts of the Hyuga clan afterwards.”
“Separate family.”
Hearing what Danzo said, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a while.
Looking at Hyuga Neji who returned to Might Guy, Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent for a long time before slowly saying: “You can go to Neji to communicate. If he is willing to join your root, Danzo, you are absolutely not allowed to do it, otherwise I will have a hard time explaining to the Hyuga clan.”
Just now, Danzo wanted to be with Tiantian, but he refused.
If he refused another Hyuga Neji, it would be a bit “sorry” for Danzo.
Especially since he seemed to have a misunderstanding of Danzo’s Ya before.
Orochimaru and Danzo had done this, and it couldn’t be faked.
This is also the reason why he was willing to give Danzo a step back.
“Don’t worry, he will definitely agree.”
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words, Shimura Danzo immediately showed a sinister smile on his face.
Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed, as long as he successfully communicated with the kid from the Hyuga clan branch.
Then the kid from the Hyuga clan could join the branch.
He knew that this kid had always hated the main family of the Hyuga clan, and this was a good opportunity.
Looking at the sneer and confidence on Shimura Danzo’s face, Sarutobi Hiruzen did not speak, but shook his head and walked down directly.
The game was about to end, and he was going to play too.
Soon.
Another two games started and ended, and the second Chunin exam was completely over.
And those who passed the exam stood there with excitement.
“Everyone has successfully advanced to the third round of the Chunin Exam. Although some people are absent, I still want to congratulate you.”
At this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the candidates who passed the exam and said slowly: “I will now explain the content of the official competition.”
”Before the competition, I said that you are the fighting force representing the ninja village of your respective countries. I hope you can show your own excellent level.”
”For this reason, the official competition will be held in a month.”
”What?”
”In a month?”
”Damn, will it take so long?”
”That’s great. There will be no competition for a short time. I can have a good rest.”
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words, the people present suddenly widened their eyes.
Uzumaki Naruto was especially surprised: “I thought it would start in a few days.”
”This period of time is for you to prepare.”
Hearing Uzumaki Naruto’s words, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked over, glanced at the Xuanzhong ruler on Uzumaki Naruto’s back, and slowly said: “This month is not only for your preparation, but also for informing the daimyo and ninja leaders of various countries that the preliminaries have ended, and summoning them to watch the official competition.”
”At the same time, this also gives you some time to prepare for war.”
”The preparation strategy you need to do is to analyze the opponent’s performance in the preliminaries. The previous battles were all simulated actual combat, but the official competition is different.”
”When facing the mortal enemy, I’m afraid no one will retain their strength. Relatively speaking, facing a strong enemy, someone will definitely be beaten and bruised.”
”For the sake of fairness and justice, please work hard to improve in this month.”
”Of course, it’s not impossible to have a good rest.”
”The official competition will be a last-place elimination tournament. Considering that at least one person will be absent, the decision on who will actually draw the opponent will be made a few days before the start of the competition. Someone will inform your team leader and then notify you.”
”During this time, you can consider tactics or rest. This stage of time is up to you.”
”You don’t have to pay for accommodation and food for this month. Konoha will arrange it, but the extra expenses will be up to you.”
”Okay, that’s all I have to say. Get ready. “The team has been disbanded. Do you have any questions before you disband?”
”I do.”
Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen’s words, Nara Shikamaru raised his hand hastily: “If it is a last-place elimination system, then there will definitely be a champion in the end, and there will only be one person. Doesn’t that mean that in the end only one person can advance to become a Chunin?”
”No, that’s not the case.”
Hearing Nara Shikamaru’s words, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said: “In the official competition, I, the Kazekage, and the daimyo and ninja leaders who will be entrusted with tasks in the future will be present as judges. “We will make the final judgment based on your performance in this game. Those who are judged to have the qualifications of Chunin can become Chunin even if they don’t pass the first round.” “You all have the possibility of becoming Chunin.” “But it is also possible that none of you can become Chunin.” “Winning the elimination round means more opportunities to show yourself. Do you understand? Shikamaru-san.” “So troublesome?!” Hearing this, Nara Shikamaru’s face changed drastically. Uzumaki Naruto’s face also turned green. This is too troublesome. “Because the Chunin who becomes this time will at least be famous in the Wind Country and the Fire Country, and will be different from the Chunin who advanced in the previous Chunin exams.” Sarutobi Hiruzen said calmly: “If there are no other questions, then thank you for your hard work. See you in a month!” Sarutobi Hiruzen left after saying that. As Sarutobi Hiruzen left, the candidates present also returned to their teams one by one and left.
”Ah, it’s finally over.”
Uzumaki Naruto squinted his eyes: “I want to go back and have a good sleep.”
”Sakura went to take care of Sasuke, and Kakashi teacher went too, so I’m alone now, well, let’s go back.”
While holding Charmander, Uzumaki Naruto left.
The whole venue gradually left.
Hinata Neji glanced at Uzumaki Naruto who left alone, and walked towards another exit with a very calm face.
His steps were steady and his eyes were calm. The victory on the ring just now did not make him feel any ripples in his heart.
For him, this game was just an ordinary test, showing his strength, but there was nothing to be particularly proud of.
He has a clear goal for the future and does not need any external evaluation to influence his judgment.
Today, he still needs to go to the Saiyan training machine for training.
As he walked, Neji found himself walking to a remote path. The surroundings were strangely quiet, as if the bustling noise after the game was isolated in another world.
For a moment, Hyuga Neji frowned slightly.
Just as he was about to move forward, two figures suddenly appeared at the corner in front.
It was an old man with a gloomy face and a cane.
Standing beside him was a ninja wearing a root mask. The old man was wearing a dark kimono, his one eye was covered with a bandage, and he exuded a cold and oppressive aura.
It was one of the advisors of Konoha Village – Shimura Danzo.
Seeing this scene, Neji frowned even more.
He didn’t know this person, but he could feel that the other party was not simple.
The root ninja stood aside, his expression hidden behind the mask could not be seen clearly, but his aura also revealed a dangerous aura.
For a moment, Hyuga Neji became alert.
”Hyuga Neji.”Danzo took two steps, his eyes were cold, his voice was low and hoarse: “I am Konoha’s consultant, Shimura Danzo.”
”Konoha’s consultant?”
Hearing this, Neji looked up at him, confused.
He knew that Konoha Village had a consultant.
But why did this person suddenly come to him? Although confused, Hyuga Neji did not reply immediately, but just stared at Danzo quietly.
Ningji had never seen this consultant, but he could feel that the other party’s pressure was extraordinary.
”Your strength interests me.”
And Danzo looked at Hyuga Neji who was silent, and he was not in a hurry, but sneered and spoke, with a bit of appreciation and an attitude that could not be refused in his tone.
“I have an organization under the Anbu of Konoha, called ‘Root’.”
”The Root is a special force established for the development and prosperity of Konoha, and only recruits the best ninjas.”
”I saw your performance on the field and want to invite you to join the Root.”
Hearing this, Neji’s brows moved slightly, but soon returned to calm.
He had heard of the Anbu for a long time, but the Root was a less public organization.
Although he felt the difference between the two roots, he also knew that Anbu ninjas usually would not recruit directly in such a hasty manner.
Because the Root organization is an organization affiliated with the Hokage.
If the Anbu invited him, they should have directly said that he was arranged by the Hokage.
But this guy didn’t say the Hokage.
I wouldn’t have met a liar, right?
But in this day and age, would anyone dare to pretend to be an Anbu ninja in Konoha Village? Danzo seemed to see Neji’s doubts, sneered, and said slowly: “You don’t have to doubt my sincerity.”
”As long as you join the root, I can guarantee that you will become a Chunin within a month.”
”You don’t need to participate in any more tests, because in the root, you will get the most direct training and promotion!”
”Even Jonin, you don’t need to go through the normal promotion channel.”
”One year, the year you join, I guarantee that you can become a Jonin.”
One year Jonin? Hearing this, Hyuga Neji’s pupils shrank sharply.
What a joke.
Jonin is a very important person in a ninja village.
This guy, saying this to himself, is still so confident.
Becoming a Chunin is his goal, not to mention the so-called Jonin.
But this way is obviously not what he wants.
He never believes in things that come easily.
Especially now, this consultant who suddenly appeared now, his words carried too much uncertainty.
”Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t need it.”
Ningji bowed his head slightly and rejected Danzo’s proposal: “Even without the help of your root, I can become a Chunin.”
After saying that, Ningji planned to bypass Danzo and continue to move forward.
However, just as he was about to pass by, Danzo’s voice came again, with a strange smile in his tone: “Even so, don’t you want to unlock the seal on your forehead?”
Hearing this, Hyuga Neji’s pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart seemed to be tightly grasped by something.
Subconsciously, Danzo turned around and stared at Danzo: “What did you say?”
Does the Anbu of Konoha Village have a way to unlock the seal on the forehead? Seeing Hyuga Neji’s actions, Danzo’s mouth showed a barely perceptible smile.
He knew that he had successfully grasped Hyuga Neji’s pain point.
The fate of this branch family kid has long been bound by the cursed caged bird seal.
As long as the seal is mentioned, Neji will definitely take the bait.
”I’m talking about the caged bird on your forehead.”
Danzo’s voice was cold, but with unquestionable certainty: “As long as you join the Root, I can help you unlock it and completely get rid of the fate of the branch family.”
”This is impossible!”
Hearing this, Hyuga Neji said in a deep voice: “This seal is irreversible. It is the fate shackles that members of the branch family must bear. In addition, there were people from the branch family who joined the Anbu before, but they didn’t unlock it.”
The most important thing is that he also knows how to unlock this seal.
That is to go to Mr. Lin Mo to open the jar and get something to solve the seal.
He also plans to open the jar after the exam.
His own jar has not been opened yet.
And Hyuga Hiashi had also discussed this with him, and he knew that he didn’t need to worry about the seal on his head for the time being.
This was the assurance Hyuga Hiashi gave him.
HeAll he needs to do is to unlock the seal on his forehead and revive his father.
All this can only be done by opening the jar.
Does this guy also know about the jar shop?
Otherwise, why would he say this? But Hyuga Hiashi said that even the Anbu of Konoha has not paid attention to this jar shop.
Does this Shimura Danzo want to trade this information with him? “That’s because their contribution is not enough.”
At this time, Shimura Danzo, who heard Hyuga Neji’s words, sneered: “If the contribution is enough, it will definitely be unlocked. This is also a secret in the Anbu. Do you think these branch family members will tell the main family members?”
“The main family enslaves them. Even if someone unlocks it, they can’t tell it.”
“Since I learned about the caged bird of the Hyuga clan, I have been studying it in the Anbu, and now I have achieved results.”
“As long as you join the Root, you will be the first person in the Hyuga branch family to unlock the caged bird!”
“This is my promise to you on behalf of Konoha!”
Danzo said so, and sneered in his heart.
Of course he didn’t know how to unlock the seal of the caged bird.
But none of this mattered.
He just wanted to use Neji’s desire to keep him firmly in the hands of the Root.
“You don’t need to answer me right away.”
Danzo knew he couldn’t rush things, so he softened his tone, his eyes cold and calculating: “You can think about it.”
“You know, joining the root will not only free you from the fate of the branch family, but also give you a higher status in Konoha.”
“One day you will understand that power and freedom both come at a price.”
Hearing this, Hyuga Neji frowned and didn’t say anything.
From this point just now, he judged that this bastard might be lying to him.
Because a few days ago, Hyuga Hiashi told him in person that except for the main family and the mysterious jar shop, no one could unlock the seal that penetrated the blood.
Even the Anbu of the Hokage.
What is this guy offering?
Is he trying to fool him?
Ningji was full of thoughts, but he remained calm on the surface.
Then he turned and left without saying another word.
However, behind him, Danzo had a gleam of success in his eyes.
”Hmph, the brat from the branch family will fall into my hands sooner or later.”
Danzo looked at Neji’s back and sneered.
