The roots are not well-known among most ninjas, but their location is one of the most important places in Konoha. Many ninjas will never have the opportunity to set foot in it.
But as long as the ninja who knew of its existence were afraid of it.
Because the leader of Gen is named... Shimura Danzo.
Gen's alias is called the ANBU Training Department. Just from the name, you can tell that its responsibility is to train ninjas for the ANBU.
The original intention of setting up the roots was indeed very good, and it perfectly played its role in the early stages.
But there is a problem. The root is an independent organization directly affiliated with Konoha elder Shimura Danzo. It is neither under the control of the Hokage nor the ANBU.
The Third Hokage would hand over such an important institution to Danzo, which was enough to show Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust in his old friend.
But precisely because of this unbridled trust, the roots gradually began to change and turned into an institution that only served Danzo's personal desires.
From Danzo's point of view, everything he does is for Konoha.
So everything Genbu did was all for Konoha.
As a result, the root became Danzo's forbidden place. The number of non-root ninjas who could come here over the years was no more than one palm.
But today this number is destined to be broken, because Chen entered here with a group of ninjas such as Nezuki Nichizu.
Just to ask for an explanation.
The reason is very good and powerful.
There are rumors in the village, and as a family involved, they must seek an explanation.
The reason is so simple that no one can say anything, not even the Third Hokage.
However, according to Danzo's previous orders, no outsiders are allowed to enter the root, and trespassers can be killed directly.
It's just that in today's situation, the dozens of root ninjas retreated against the order. No one felt ridiculous, and even the vast majority of ninjas wished they could retreat deep into the root.
Because it gives people more sense of security there.
But there are also advantages to retreating.
The roots have been developed in Danzo's hands for so many years. They no longer exist simply for the development of ANBU. A more accurate positioning is to preserve the last bloodline of Konoha.
In other words, this is a large shelter. The base goes all the way down to a hundred meters into the ground. No matter there is any explosion in the village, there won't be too many problems here.
Just like in the original time and space, even under the Shinra Tensei, the entire Konoha was gone, but the roots were still intact.
Danzo's lair naturally has a high security level.
Similarly, at the entrance of the hall, several barriers were outlined, relying on the manipulation of root ninjas to trap enemy attacks.
At this time, thirty ninjas carefully selected by Danzo from various major ninja clans were divided into two groups and stood on the two wings. Their positions were very particular. They were slightly spread out and tried to squeeze the hall while being able to echo each other to prevent the event. Use the Flying Thunder God Technique to make a surprise attack.
Soon, fifty more Root Ninjas wearing animal masks poured out of the hall.
These are cannon fodder raised by Danzo using war orphans. They may not be strong enough, but they are better because they are not afraid of death.
He is the kind who is really not afraid of death and fully uses his secret skills to maximize his potential.
Root, today he fully demonstrated his strength.
Over the years, the subordinates Danzo has trained generally come from three aspects.
First, absorb those children who show talents from the village;
The second is to coerce the major ninja clans into sending their children to the root;
Third, collect those war orphans who grow up in waves like leeks.
When these children reach a certain age, if they have no potential, they will be trained as dead soldiers and used exclusively as cannon fodder.
At the root, talent comes first and nothing else.
This group of ninjas who have never appeared in a great ninja war are elite forces created by Danzo himself with twenty years of hard work.
Many ninjas were not even recorded in Konoha's ninja files.
Only Danzo personally knows how many people there are in the Roots. Even the Third Hokage can no longer understand too many details. He can only roughly know that the number of ninjas in the Roots is increasing year by year.
Therefore, this is basically Danzo's private army.
But soon... it has nothing to do with Danzo.
The first reason Chen came here today was to kill Danzo and regain Kaoru's eyes, and the second reason was to help teacher Orochimaru clean up his roots.
He looked towards the ninjas in the hall.
Scarlet flashed in his eyes.
"I was ordered to come here to investigate Elder Danzo's human experiments. If you don't want to die, just get out of the way."
This is a piece of nonsense that can no longer be discarded, but no one dares to retreat, and no one will get out of the way.
A loudly shouted: "Meet the enemy!"
In an instant, dozens of ninjas, including A, rushed over one after another.
In addition to the ninjas who maintained the barrier, there were dozens of ninjas rushing to the left and right wings, obviously heading towards the rope tree.
Chen was surrounded by more than a hundred ninjas.
These ninjas, carefully selected and trained by Danzo, are not bad in strength, are extremely fast, and are extremely skilled in coordination.
For a moment, those ninjas who maintained the barrier to prevent the roots from being destroyed felt dazzled, but they were even more chilled to the bones.
Ask yourself, in this fierce attack, there are actually ninjas who can compete
Is Konoha's lightning so powerful
A, who rushed at the front, did not fight Chen immediately, even though ninjas kept dying around him.
Taking advantage of the death of "companions" to find opportunities is one of the root's survival laws.
After all, facing a ninja like Konoha Lightning with a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, rushing too far forward is bound to result in death with one move.
For the sake of safety, he only used the most skilled fighting method. The thunder escape in his hand lit up, a flash of blue, and the sharp thorns pierced Chen's chest.
The power of this thunder escape is even more powerful than that of Chidori.
A didn't use all his strength, and he still had some speed. If he was defeated, he could escape even if he was injured, but he couldn't let the opponent succeed with one move.
A is still extremely confident in his own strength.
He has been in the Roots for more than ten years. Although he is not well-known in the village, he has never slacked off in the Roots.
There are most of Konoha's ninjutsu to learn at the root, the best training ground, and the cruelest mechanism for raising gu...
A's talent is quite outstanding. In the past ten years or so, he has completed various tasks of Danzo outstandingly, and has also received Danzo's careful guidance.
A is really confident in his own strength!
This attack, under the cover of other ninjas, almost reached his most perfect shooting posture in recent years, without any unnecessary movements.
The young man in front of him made no attempt to stop him and allowed the lightning strike to stab his chest.
Between choices, the thin line between life and death!
Suddenly finding an opportunity, A's chakra suddenly surged, his body became three points faster, and the thunder escape in his hand expanded again.
When Lei Dun was about to touch Chen's windbreaker, an invisible force suddenly gathered in the air and shattered Lei Dun.
A is surprised and confused.
What's this? !
