Konoha Village, roots.
The dark underground space was filled with groups of ninjas wearing masks. These people were like machines without emotions. They just stood in the endless darkness, forgetting their own lives and abandoning their identities.
They are loyal to only one person!
That was Shimura Danzo walking towards him.
Rather than saying that they are the ninjas of Konoha Village who are deeply embedded in the darkness, it is better to say that they are Danzo's private army. They are only ninjas of Konoha Village in name only, and there are patterns of Konoha Village on their masks.
Actually.
They can no longer be regarded as ninjas of Konoha Village.
They don't listen to any orders from the Leaf Village.
If Danzo went to seek refuge in another village now, they would follow him without hesitation. Even if the person Danzo asked them to assassinate was the Hokage, they would not hesitate to carry out the task.
At this moment.
Danzo stood among the roots.
certainly.
The current Danzo is not the real Danzo, but Aoyu's six-path clone, but he hides the black rod on his body very well, trying not to let these people see it as much as possible.
"Cough cough cough..."
Danzo, who had been made into a clone of the Six Paths, coughed lightly. His voice was not loud, but in this dark underground, it was extremely clear, making every ninja at the scene, They all listened to Danzo's request with their ears pricked up.
After Danzo attracted everyone's attention.
Or…
This was what Qingyu attracted.
Now he has summoned all the ninjas from the roots.
"I have an important task for everyone today!"
“I think this item is very, very important!”
"Even if you die..."
"The mission must be completed!"
Danzo's voice seemed extremely cold, and there was an unquestionable majesty in his tone. His cold and forbidding aura already made people feel chills in their backs.
"yes!"
The root ninjas at the scene responded in unison. Everyone at the scene was wearing a mask, and the expressions on their faces could not be seen, but judging from the wisps of determined eyes coming out of the eye holes of the masks, they would not be able to do anything. Complete the tasks assigned by Danzo without reservation, even if it means losing your own life for it.
Tuan Zan lowered his eyelids, looking like he had his eyes closed, and did not look at any of the root ninjas. Now he does not have the reincarnation eyes, but his own eyes, but those eyes have no energy. If If he is found to be dead at this time, then it can be said that the success has been defeated and has no meaning at all.
"This is a team mission."
Danzo said slowly, and as soon as he said these words, the ninjas at the root felt uncomfortable.
People here now.
One counts as one.
The time they take to get to the roots varies.
But they have never experienced a similar scene. Everyone has different thoughts in their hearts. They have always fought alone and have never considered behavior similar to a team battle.
But this kind of thing also made them realize something terrible.
That is the goal of this mission. It may be really difficult, so difficult that elites like them all need to collectively assassinate the same target.
Danzo seemed to have guessed that these root ninjas would have such a reaction, so after saying these words, he did not continue immediately, but stopped and looked at these people so that these people could react. come over.
immediately.
The corners of Qingyu's God Paper Clone's mouth were slightly raised.
He had already seen the reactions of these root ninjas, so there was nothing to worry about, and he immediately controlled the Danzo clone next to him.
"According to the orders of the Third Hokage!"
"There is rebellion within Konoha Village now!"
"Hatake Sakumo among the ninja army is the core member of this rebellion!"
"Your mission is to assassinate Hatake Sakumo at all costs!"
"Do you understand me?"
Danzo said coldly. After he said these words, the temperature in the entire root hall seemed to drop a lot, making many people feel a slight chill.
"yes!"
The root ninjas present immediately echoed in unison, with determination in everyone's eyes.
actually.
Even if there is no such rhetoric.
These people can also complete the ultimate mission.
only.
Saying this can drag down the third generation.
Qingyu didn't know if anyone would catch these root ninjas, let alone if anyone could pry open their heads and explore their memories.
Of course, just because these root-level ninjas cannot take the initiative to tell things about Danzo does not mean that their memories cannot be read.
It has not been read in the past, but the root has not done anything excessive. Even in the official storyline, the root is only doing things in secret. Many things cannot withstand the ups and downs, so no one reads the root. memory.
But things are different now.
The root is going to assassinate Hatake Sakumo openly.
It’s a big deal if you do this!
There will eventually be a result!
And now.
Qingyu did it together.
Just to lay a foreshadowing for that result.
This is a very important thing!
As for why Hatake Sakumo was assassinated instead of Namikaze Minato, Aoba still had a very thoughtful arrangement on this issue.
after all.
Aoba wants to support Namikaze Minato to become the fourth Hokage of Konoha Village.
He himself had already tricked the Seven Ninja Swordsmen into doing such a thing, and if he let Genbu do it now, it would be too obvious of a goal.
There are more important things to do now...
That’s Hatake Sakumo!
Aoyu doesn't know if these ninjas from the root can kill Hatake Sakumo. It doesn't matter anymore. Whether Hatake Sakumo is alive or dead, it has no impact on his plan. As long as these people from the root do it. For this matter, then that is completely enough.
after all.
Hatake Sakumo is the thorn in the side of the Third Hokage who is the most reasonable on the surface. He is the person who people think is most likely to become the Fourth Hokage. He wears a half-sleeved Hokage robe. After suppressing such a person, the Third Hokage will The benefits of acting as Hokage are the greatest, this is something everyone knows.
As for another reason…
That is, Hatake Sakumo is still a direct competitor of Namikaze Minato. Even if it is a slight blow, it will be a help to Namikaze Minato to inherit the position of Hokage.
