Chapter 28 The Root Approaches! Countdown to the Abyss!!

Inside the root tissue.

In the darkness, an old man with a bandage on his left eye walked out. His face was calm, and there was a cross wound on his chin, as if he had been scratched by a sharp weapon.

An Anbu took off his mask, knelt on one knee in front of the old man, and said respectfully: "Master Danzo..."

"Tell me, what's the matter with meeting me?"

"Uzumaki Naruto is still the same as before, but the strength of the Uchiha brothers and sisters..."

As he said this, the Anbu ninja reported to Danzo everything he saw during Kakashi's survival exercise.

Danzo thought about it for a moment. He understood that Kanon had mastered advanced ninjutsu, but he didn't know where she got the training method from.

It is very likely that there is some relic left by Uchiha Fugaku, which Kanon kept privately, so she has her current strength.

Thinking of this, Danzo clenched his fists with a gloomy look.

"As expected, the Uchiha clan should be destroyed if this Uchiha remnant is allowed to continue to grow."

He thought of the legendary three ninjas, Jiraiya, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.

None of these three people can be used by Danzo. If he cannot control them, there will definitely be great trouble in the future.

"For Konoha, this Uchiha remnant must be used by me."

Danzo said as he nodded and asked the Anbu to leave.

After he left, Danzo began to think carefully.

The agreement he made with Uchiha Itachi was to leave Sasuke alone, but this remnant was still left. If it weren't for Hiruzen's order, he would have sent people to kill this kid long ago.

"Uchiha Fugaku, you actually left many of Konoha's ninjutsu to your daughter."

"It's not my fault!"

With that, Danzo summoned an ANBU that belonged to the Root.

"In a month, you go and give orders to Uchiha Kanon to let her join the Root organization after the Chunin Exam."

"Master Danzo, if she doesn't obey..."

"Just kill her to eliminate future troubles."

"Yes!"

The Anbu disappeared in front of Danzo in just a few steps.

"Huruzen, don't blame me for being ruthless. This is not Uchiha Sasuke. It is not within the scope of the agreement with Itachi."

As he spoke, he walked back into the darkness.

......

Although the tasks of Class 7 are numerous and varied, most of them are very boring tasks such as catching cats, finding people and cleaning.

Such a task made Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura a little discouraged.

On the contrary, Kanon completed everything very seriously. She has become a ninja, and she feels passionately that she has taken the first step towards her dream.

Although they were just some small tasks at first, she and the other three had a great time.

They were very happy during this month, and these daily scenes happened so warmly.

Moreover, she no longer hides her strength. Her outstanding performance has attracted the attention of many senior executives. Now, she has some ability to protect herself.

As the days passed, Kakashi's team still hadn't received any high-level missions, and they had already done a lot of odd jobs.

"Really? Why are there only these useless tasks?" Naruto patted Kanon's shoulder and expressed his dissatisfaction.

"You ask me, who should I ask?" Hanane spread her hands.

"Let's go and find Grandpa Sandai." Sakura muttered.

"Ah~" Except for Kanon, the other three looked a little listless.

After spending some time together, Kakashi realized that Kanon was not as simple as he thought, and the ninjutsu she had learned was far beyond what he knew.

But it is conceivable that the Uchiha clan was exterminated, and there should be a lot of ninjutsu scrolls left by their parents. As a genius girl, Kanon mastered so many ninjutsu, which is very likely the legacy of Uchiha Fugaku.

Kakashi sighed helplessly when he thought of this, he lost his parents and tribe members at the young age of six and was forced to practice day after day.

And her brother Uchiha Sasuke also buried revenge in his heart. They, the Uchiha brothers and sisters, really bore too much.

He also seemed to understand Kanon. She was essentially no different from an ordinary girl. Although she was a genius, she also had some little girl's temperament.

He has the same personality as Naruto, a hot-blooded "idiot" who can inspire fighting spirit.

This is what Kakashi knows about Kanon after spending a month with her.

At this time, they arrived at the Hokage's office.

The third generation, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was sitting in the main seat of Hokage. When he saw the five people returning from their mission successfully, he also smiled.

"You are back."

"Yes, grandpa, do you have any more difficult tasks to assign to us?" Naruto said with a flattering smile.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took out a stack of task lists from the files beside him and muttered softly:

"Help the old Chinese take care of the children at home."

"Or I would go to the next village to run errands and help dig sweet potatoes."

"No!" Naruto quickly interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Don't take this kind of mission again!"

"I want to perform more powerful tasks. Give me other tasks!"

Naruto's dissatisfaction also aroused the sympathy of Sasuke and Sakura, but Kanon didn't think it mattered.

As long as I can carry out the mission with them, I will be very happy.

"I knew he was about to start cheating..." Kakashi muttered helplessly.

Ninja missions are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D. For novice missions like Kakashi's class, they can only complete D or C missions. There will be no missions above level C.

So at this time, Sarutobi Hiruzen was also flipping through the task list, then raised the corner of his mouth slightly and looked at the dissatisfied Naruto in front of him.

"Naruto, don't you want to do a more advanced mission?"

This sentence immediately piqued Naruto's curiosity.

"Hey! Grandpa, is there any amazing mission?"

"Since you say so, I'll give you a C-rank mission."

"Really? What's the mission?" Naruto asked curiously.

Next, Sarutobi Hiruzen and his men were assigned a commissioned escort mission.

The client was none other than Mr. Dazna, a famous bridge builder.

The mission of Team 7 this time is to escort Mr. Dazna to the Land of Waves.

the next day.

Naruto and others arrived at the entrance of Konoha Village as scheduled.

But Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Kanon were late, which made the other three a little confused.

"We're about to set off in half an hour, why haven't Kanon and Sasuke arrived yet?!" Naruto frowned.

Kakashi seemed to sense something was wrong and spoke to the two people present.

"I'll go take a look, you guys wait a moment."

As soon as the words fell, Kakashi left the place in a few steps and headed towards Sasuke's house.

Sure enough, not far from Sasuke's house, Kanon and Sasuke were stopped by an Anbu.

"Are you going to let us pass or not?" Sasuke protected Kanon behind him and shouted loudly at the Anbu in front of him.

"Let's wait until your teacher comes." The Anbu didn't say much, until Kakashi came over, he was a little surprised.

"Anbu? Are they the Anbu affiliated with the Root?"

"Kakashi, you're here just in time." He called Kakashi aside and handed him a document.

Kakashi was also stunned after reading it.

"Danzo-sama wishes to see Kanon?"

"Yes, Uchiha Sasuke can go with you, but Uchiha Kanon has to come."

"Are you trying to recruit Kanon to join the Anbu like Uchiha Itachi did?!" Kakashi frowned. Uchiha Itachi also joined the Anbu at about the same age as Kanon.

"Okay...ok." Kakashi finally nodded slightly.

After all, this was a mission personally assigned by Danzo, and with the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen present, he should not dare to do anything to Kanon.

As he said this, he walked up to Kanon and Sasuke and spoke to Kanon who was carrying a luggage bag.

"Kane, a high-ranking Konoha official wants to see you. You may not be able to join us on this mission." Kakashi said to Kanon.

"It's okay... let's do it next time." Hanane was a little disappointed, but she was still a little nervous that the higher-ups wanted to see her.

Kakashi looked at Uchiha Sasuke beside him and spoke softly.

"Sasuke, let's go."

"Kane, you're home alone, take care of yourself."

"Well, brother, go ahead and don't worry. Remember to bring me some delicious food!" As she said that, Kanon took out half of her money from her pocket and gave it to Sasuke.

"What is this?" Sasuke wondered.

"Brother, take it. This is the money I saved. If you get hungry on the way, use it to buy something to eat. Also, apologize to Naruto, Sakura, and me for not being able to go with everyone this time."

"Hana... "

"Alright, brother, let's go. I'm going to go to the Anbu with them first."

Having said that, Hanane and the Anbu ninja left the place.

Only Kakashi and Sasuke were left there, looking lost in thought.

"This should be a sign of recruiting Kanon into the Anbu. This should be good for Kanon." Kakashi whispered to Sasuke.

"Okay... let's go too."
