Chapter 125 Recruitment

Chiba returned to the Konoha base and handed over the mission to Orochimaru.

Orochimaru asked, "How are the Raikage's son and the Jinchūriki doing?"

Qianyu replied: "They are all still alive, but they will not appear in the Kingdom of Hot Springs in the short term."

Qianyu took out the scroll that sealed the tentacles of the Eight-Tails and handed it to Orochimaru: "Teacher Orochimaru, this is a part of the Eight-Tails' body. You should be very interested in it."

As expected, Orochimaru showed an interested expression.

Orochimaru put the scroll away, and then said to Chiba, "Chiba, I just received a transfer order from Konoha. You have to go back to Konoha."

Qianyu was surprised and asked, "Return to Konoha? What could possibly happen to me at this juncture?"

Orochimaru smiled and said, "Because it's time. This transfer order was sent by Danzo as the Hokage's assistant. In other words, Danzo wants to talk to you."

Qianyu's eyes narrowed.

Danzo is looking for him, which means that Danzo is preparing to take action against the Uchiha clan.

Orochimaru reminded, "Chiba, you have to be careful of Danzo. I used to be a member of the Root. Danzo is extremely suspicious, cautious, insidious, and tough. He doesn't trust others and can't tolerate the slightest possible omission. He must follow his own ideas before he can feel at ease.

However, your value is very high now, so he may try to win you over. Since your target is only Kushina, it is a good idea to cooperate with Danzo."

Chiba nodded: "I understand, Mr. Orochimaru."

Kakashi happened to be in the base, so Chiba found Kakashi and told him that he was going back to Konoha, and then went to Konoha.

...

A few days later.

Originally, Minato Namikaze's name of Yellow Flash was showing signs of surpassing Chiba.

But after Qianyu defeated Ai and Killer Bee, the name of Blood-Eyed Shura once again resounded throughout the ninja world.

And this time it truly resounded throughout the ninja world.

Qianyu has entered the vision of the top leaders of various ninja villages.

After Chiyu returned to Konoha, the villagers looked at her differently.

In fact, after Chiba first entered the Land of Hot Springs and worked with Orochimaru to formulate a plan and successfully achieved merit, these villagers no longer scolded him, but they still looked down on Chiba in their hearts.

This time, many people looked at Qianyu with admiration and regarded Qianyu as an object of admiration.

Several little ghosts were calling out "Master Qianyu".

Qianyu turned a blind eye to all this.

He was fighting hard, not for stupid guys like them.

Qianyu walked past these people with an expressionless face, planning to go home first to see if Uzumaki Kushina was at home.

When Qianyu passed the crowd, an Uchiha ninja appeared in front of Qianyu.

The Uchiha ninja lowered his head and bowed to Qianyu, saying, "Master Qianyu, the clan leader invites you to the Uchiha clan land."

Qianyu said coldly: "Go tell Uchiha Masaki to come over to see me. He is not qualified to let me go to the Uchiha clan to see him now."

After saying this, Qianyu walked right past the Uchiha ninja and left.

The Uchiha ninja's face turned pale and he was filled with anger.

But things are different now. Now Chiyu has opened the Mangekyō Sharingan and is ahead of all Uchiha ninjas.

Even Uchiha Masaki, the clan leader, did not open the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Chiba returned home, but Uzumaki Kushina was not there.

Qianyu could only leave a note and head to the root.

However, when Qianyu just left the room, a ninja wearing a Root mask appeared in front of him.

"Master Chiba, Master Danzo wants to see you."

Qianyu nodded and said, "Well, take me there."

Chiba followed the Root ninja to the Root base.

The atmosphere in the dark Root base was extremely depressing, and all the ninjas seen had blank expressions and looked emotionless.

Following the Root Ninja, Chiba arrived at the office.

In the office, I met Danzo.

Qianyu bowed and said, "Master Danzo."

The corners of Danzo's mouth curved up on his stiff face: "Qianyu, you are very good."

Chiba thought Danzo was talking about the battle between Ai and Killer Bee.

Qianyu answered very officially: "This is all thanks to Konoha's cultivation."

Danzo actually said 'not bad', actually referring to Chiba's attitude when he encountered the Uchiha ninja just now.

Danzo asked very directly: "Chiyu, do you hate Uchiha?"

Qianyu's eyes flickered slightly.

Chiyu didn't expect Danzo to ask him so directly without even any foreplay.

Qianyu replied: "Personal grudges are insignificant compared to the overall interests of Konoha."

Danzo laughed, and no matter how he listened to it, Qianyu felt that it sounded like a sneer.

Danzo asked again: "What if Konoha's overall situation can no longer accommodate Uchiha?"

Chiba calmly replied, "Whatever Konoha needs me to do, I will do it."

"As expected, Chiyu, you have already guessed that Konoha is going to take action against Uchiha, and you should have guessed that we would look for you."

Chiba looked at Danzo in surprise.

Danzo explained: "Because you acted too calm. When you heard that Konoha was going to take action against Uchiha, you showed no expression at all, as if it was a matter of course."

Qianyu narrowed her eyes slightly. This old fox Danzo was really shrewd.

Qianyu thought about it and admitted: "Danzo, I did guess that Konoha would take action against Uchiha. After all, Uchiha is like a cancer, affecting every aspect of Konoha, so it is easy to guess that if the Uchiha clan continues like this, Konoha will definitely take measures against Uchiha.

But I didn't guess that Danzo-sama would look for me, it was just because Orochimaru-sensei told me that the transfer order was issued by Danzo-sama, so I wasn't surprised."

Danzo pulled the corner of his mouth and said: "Then let's assume that you haven't guessed it. Then I will tell you directly that Hiruzen and I will give you a mission next, which is about the Uchiha clan.

In the next war, you will be used by me and Hiruzen, and your mission is to suppress the Uchiha under your command. Do you accept this mission?"

Qianyu did not hesitate and replied: "As long as it is a mission, as a ninja, I must do my best to carry it out. I will strictly follow the orders of the Hokage!"

Danzo stared at Qianyu for a long time before saying, "Qianyu, you are a smart person. You should know why I summoned you back to Konoha as the Hokage's assistant and met with you alone."

Qianyu pretended to be confused and said, "Master Danzo, Qianyu is stupid. Apart from assigning me a mission, is there anything else?"

Danzo stared at Qianyu and said seriously: "Since you don't know, then I will tell you clearly. I want to recruit you into the Root. What is your choice?"
