Chapter 76 Sarutobi Hiruzen: Go to the Root!
In Konoha, the lights were on in the temporary residence of the Kazekage of the Sand Village.
Orochimaru, who was pretending to be the Kazekage, had not yet rested. He was standing alone in front of the window, his eyes fixed in the direction of the Forest of Death.
He has always been bothered by what happened in the Forest of Death.
After secretly returning to Konoha from the Forest of Death, he secretly investigated.
Finally got some information from Dou.
Konoha recently had a child with extraordinary talent.
Even the third generation wanted to accept him as a disciple.
By comparing their appearances, Orochimaru knew that the young man named Zhou Cheng was the one he met in the Forest of Death.
"Zhou Cheng?"
"An orphan who escaped from the Hidden Mist Village?"
"Well, then I can try to turn him over!"
"If I can get both Sasuke and him, then my reincarnation will be more secure!"
Orochimaru licked his lips with his snake-like tongue and let out a sinister laugh.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Orochimaru immediately put away his expression, turned into the shadow of a village again, and responded to the outside of the door:
"Come in!"
The door was opened, and a man wearing a white headscarf, with the left side of his face covered, was revealed.
"Markie, what's going on?"
The person who came was Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro's team leader, and also the Kazekage's trusted jonin.
"I met Kabuto, and he gave me some maps of the branches of Konoha's security forces."
"This will be very helpful in our attack on Konoha!"
"Fengying"'s eyes lit up, and Dou did not disappoint.
"Very good, the plan goes on as usual!"
"This time, we will make Konoha pay a heavy price!"
……
The next morning, the central tower of the Death Forest.
All the Genin left the Forest of Death and returned to Konoha under the leadership of their respective captains or Jonin teachers.
After arriving in Konoha, the Genin who were not eligible to take the next exam did not leave.
They want to take a look at the upcoming exams.
However, the last exam is tomorrow, so they can only wait in Konoha.
Because of their presence, Konoha became much more lively.
The moment he returned to Konoha, Zhou Cheng was called over by Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes. The third generation must have received the report from the Anbu and was becoming restless.
If he had not obtained the perfect sage body, he might have been afraid of meeting the Third Hokage and Danzo, for fear of being tricked to death by them.
But now, he was not afraid.
Maybe today is the day to have a showdown with the third generation.
Perfect Sage Body, Flying Thunder God, Tai Chi, and Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.
With these ninjutsu at his disposal, no one can stop Zhou Cheng from escaping as long as he doesn't act recklessly.
He jumped continuously on the roof and soon arrived at the foot of the Hokage building.
Looking up at the Hokage's office and Hokage Rock at the highest point, Zhou Cheng walked into the building.
Just as he walked outside the Hokage's office, Zhou Cheng heard the somewhat old voice of the Third Generation.
"come in!"
Zhou Cheng raised his eyebrows, knowing that the third generation was using the crystal ball to monitor him again.
The rapid increase in strength aroused the vigilance of the third generation.
No one likes things or people that they can't control.
"Third generation, what do you want from me?"
Zhou Cheng behaved neither arrogantly nor servilely, and there was nothing to fault with him.
He knew that as long as these old foxes wanted, any carelessness could become a weapon for them to attack.
Zhou Cheng is not afraid of leaving Konoha, nor is he afraid of becoming a rebel ninja.
He can't let go of the friends he made in these few months.
Especially Naruto.
They have already formed a deep friendship.
There are also Hinata and Ino, whose feelings for Zhou Cheng are also hard for him to let go.
The Sandaime and Danzo had blank expressions on their faces, but the cold light that flashed in their eyes from time to time let Zhou Cheng know that they were definitely not at peace.
"What's going on with your strength?"
"No matter how talented you are, you can't improve your speed like this!"
"Even the God of Ninja, Senju Hashirama, doesn't have such strength at your age!"
Sandai's tone was relatively calm, and he still had hope for Zhou Cheng.
Looking forward to his feelings towards Konoha, and hoping that he is really not the most secret spy of any family!
But Danzo was not as patient as him. He slammed his palm on the table, making a loud noise.
"Tell me, are you a spy from the Hidden Mist Village?"
"Otherwise, your strength can't be explained clearly!"
"Also, what about the Yang escape technique of creation and regeneration on you?"
His face turned grim, and he really wanted to seal Zhou Cheng's roots right now, turning him into a walking corpse without any thoughts of his own.
Zhou Cheng listened to their words and sneered in his heart. An old fox is always an old fox.
This is how you should deal with a ninja that you are about to lose control of.
"My strength is the result of my hard training!"
Zhou Cheng was prepared to face them with an indifferent attitude, no matter what they asked, it was the result of hard training.
"As for Yang Dun, it is of course the result of my hard training."
The Third Generation and Danzo were almost choked to death by Zhou Cheng's words.
Practice hard?
It is the hard work that allows a ninja to reach a level in just a few months that others cannot reach in their entire lifetime.
Also, Yang Dun.
Yes, Yang Dun can be cultivated.
The Yang Dun that can be cultivated is just a change in nature and is not the real Yang Dun at all.
It is even more impossible to have the ability to create regeneration.
But they really had no words to refute Zhou Cheng.
Because he wasn't talking nonsense.
Hard practice can indeed improve your strength.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Zhou Cheng quietly for a long time, trying to see something on his face.
But he was disappointed. Zhou Cheng's face was calm, without any flaws.
"Zhou Cheng, Konoha is your home, I hope you don't forget it!"
Zhou Cheng smiled. Are you going to start brainwashing again?
"Of course Konoha is my home!"
"But some people always treat me as an outsider and are wary of me!"
The corners of the eyes of the Third Generation and Danzo twitched. Aren’t they the people Zhou Cheng was talking about?
He wanted him to work for him, but was also afraid that he was too powerful to be controlled.
Then he was on guard against Zhou Cheng like a thief.
A hint of determination flashed in Sandai's eyes, and he thought of a way to test Zhou Cheng.
"Zhou Cheng, go to the root and gain some experience!"
Danzo was stunned for a moment, then looked at the Third Generation with surprise.
Zhou Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly. Is the old fox testing him?
"I'm not going!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place fell silent!
Bang!
Danzo was so angry that his body was shaking and he slammed his palm on the table.
I originally thought that I would have Zhou Cheng and would soon have another killing tool.
But I didn't expect that Zhou Cheng would dare to refuse.
The third generation was much calmer, but the coldness in his eyes could not hide his inner feelings.
"I repeat, this is the Hokage's order."
"I order you to go to the root and train for a year!"
Zhou Cheng sneered. He hated people who were high and mighty and used their power to oppress others. “I just won’t go. What can you do about it?”
"I'll say it again, I'm not going!"
