Chapter 117: Danzo takes action personally, and Yuhi Kurenai’s plan; Third generation: Danzo, you ne

A new day came quietly, and Konoha Village gradually woke up under the morning light.

The rising sun is like a dazzling gem, emitting warm light and spreading golden brilliance all over the earth.

Birds were chirping softly on the treetops, adding a bit of vitality to this quiet morning.

In the other corner of Konoha Village, a place where sunlight cannot reach.

The third base of the root.

In the dim corridor, only a few faint lights flickered weakly, like will-o'-the-wisps in the darkness.

There was a hint of chill in the cold air, making people shudder.

In a secret room deep in the base, Danzo Shimura was hiding in the darkness, as if he was integrated with the shadows.

Sitting quietly on a simple wooden chair, Danzo had a sneer on his face, his eyes flashing strangely in the darkness.

"Recovering faster than I expected." Danzo murmured to himself, his voice low and eerie, as if coming from the depths of hell.

The next second, Danzo stretched out a hand, feeling the strength gradually returning to his body.

Compared to yesterday, I have recovered more today.

At least he could stand up.

With this in mind, Danzo slowly stood up and stretched his muscles, as if to test his recovery.

His movements seemed a little stiff, but with a few deep breaths, his condition gradually stabilized.

For a moment, Danzo felt very happy.

At such a speed, within a few days, he would be able to completely regain his ability to move.

"Lord Danzo."

At this moment, a root ninja appeared in front of Danzo out of thin air and whispered: "Someone is missing again."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Danzo's expression darkened instantly: "Who?"

It's obviously been calming down these days, so how come someone is missing again?

He has obviously removed all the root ninjas around the Hyuga clan, so there can be no disappearances.

Today's root losses are not small. Every root ninja is a valuable asset and cannot be lost casually.

Not to mention, still missing.

"It's Zhu Ling from yesterday."

This root-level ninja whispered: "When he sent you the snail noodles yesterday, you asked him to get a recipe for the snail noodles. He has not come back so far. We looked for it and found that the others also disappeared. "

"Zhu Ling?"

Hearing this, Danzo frowned: "How could it be him?"

You know, the root ninja who can deliver food to him is already one of his confidants.

Why did he disappear inexplicably?

It is impossible for Zhu Ling to defect, he was the one who single-handedly promoted him.

Didn't I just tell him to get a recipe and come back? Why did he disappear?

"Is it related to Ichiraku Ramen Shop?"

Danzo glanced at the subordinate in front of him very suspiciously.

What a joke.

It is not difficult for a root ninja to make a recipe for a ramen shop and snail noodles.

Why did such a great living person disappear?

"We checked out the Ichiraku Ramen shop and the newly opened snail noodle shop in the morning, but we didn't notice any gains."

The root ninja whispered: "However, the door lock of the newly opened snail noodle shop has traces of damage. It was Zhu Ling's handiwork, but it was just that trace. Other than that, there are no other clues. "

"You mean, he went into that newly opened snail noodle shop and disappeared?"

Danzo tapped his fingers lightly on the table, each tap was like a warning bell in people's hearts, and said coldly: "How big is that shop?"

How could a living person disappear from the store?

"We're wondering about that too."

The root ninja whispered: "There was no sign of a fight at the scene. It cannot be ruled out that Zhu Ling has obtained the formula and left. Danzo-sama, you also know how popular snail noodles are. If you take this formula and go to other places If so, it is very likely that you can accumulate money quickly. This is our guess with the highest probability. "

"impossible."

Upon hearing this, Danzo shook his head decisively.

How could the root ninja he had personally trained betray him at will?

Although Zhu Ling was not trained by him since he was a child, he had set up a seal to eliminate tongue troubles and completed the tasks he had arranged several times. He already had a handle on him. How could he betray him so easily?

"wrong."

Danzo, who was shaking his head, suddenly had his eyelids twitching.

It's not impossible.

I don't have complete control over this guy's life or death.

If the other party betrays him, as long as he doesn't tell the secrets about himself and his roots, it seems that it's not impossible to escape far away?

Thinking of this, Shimura Danzo's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Probably not.

But it is possible.

The formula value of snail noodles seems to be enough to make a ninja take risks.

He has tried this delicacy himself and likes it very much, otherwise he would not have arranged for someone to get the recipe.

"Help me go to these two stores, and I will investigate them myself."

Danzo said coldly: "Currently, he is just missing. In addition to defecting, I also feel that the Hyuga clan may have done something about it."

After all, several of his previous root ninjas were lost by the Hyuga clan.

Now that another ninja is missing, it doesn't seem unreasonable?

But where did the Hyuga clan get the courage?

Dare to attack the root ninja again and again.

This does absolutely nothing good.

Now, in his opinion, he and the Hyuga clan have temporarily "stopped".

At least he did not arrange the Root ninja to monitor the Hyuga clan, and the Hyuga clan should be more "sensible" and would not attack the Root ninja.

After all, the Root is under the Anbu!

"Yes."

Hearing Danzo's words, this Root ninja immediately disguised himself, and then took Danzo out of the Root base and went to Ichiraku Ramen first.

When he arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, Danzo glanced and found Sarutobi Asuma and his team sitting there.

"Danzo."

And Sarutobi Asuma, who came with his team to eat ramen, looked at the arrival of Danzo, and there was also astonishment in his eyes.

Why did this guy come to Ichiraku Ramen?

Didn't he say that he had been recuperating at the Root base?

"Okay, it's dangerous."

Beside him, Yamanaka Ino looked over and immediately felt the cold and dark breath coming towards her, which made Ino swallow her saliva subconsciously and shift her gaze decisively at the first time.

As if he noticed Yamanaka Ino's gaze, Danzo looked over, which made Yamanaka Ino's heart skip a beat.

She felt like she was being stared at by a poisonous snake, and that feeling could not be stopped.

But in an instant, this feeling disappeared.

"Don't release chakra perception at will, it's impolite, Ino."

Sarutobi Asuma smiled and put a bowl of ramen in front of Yamanaka Ino, indicating that Yamanaka Ino should eat first.

"Teacher Asuma."

Hearing this, Yamanaka Ino breathed a sigh of relief.

In Asuma's sight, Danzo walked directly into Ichiraku Ramen Shop.

After a round of inspection, he left, and Asuma frowned slightly, not understanding Danzo's behavior.

"You eat first."

Asuma told Yamanaka Ino and the others, then stood up and walked out.

He was quite curious about Danzo's behavior.

As for fear, it didn't exist.

So let's take a look. Seeing that Danzo didn't seem to be hiding anything, Sarutobi Asuma was very curious about why Danzo came to Ichiraku Ramen for no reason.

If it was someone else, he would not take it seriously.

But Danzo.

"Danzo-sama."

The Root Ninja who had already left the ramen shop, while pushing Danzo, noticed Asuma following behind, and immediately whispered.

"No need to care."

Danzo shook his head. He was just here to take a look, and there was nothing shameful.

As long as Sarutobi Asuma didn't follow him to his Root base.

Under Asuma's attention, Danzo and the Root Ninja came to the snail noodle shop opened by Ayame.

"Hong!"

When he saw the figure of Yuhi Kurenai appear in the snail noodle shop, Sarutobi Asuma's eyes lit up.

I actually saw Kurenai Yuhi here.

Ever since he knew that Kurenai Yuhi went to Ichiraku Ramen to eat snail noodles, he immediately took his team there every day.

As a result, I didn't see her these two days.

Unexpectedly, Kurenai Yuhi actually came to this newly opened snail noodle shop.

Then I will bring Shikamaru and the others here to eat.

At this time.

In the snail noodle shop opened by Acorus, Kurenai Yuhi also noticed the arrival of Danzo, and her brows frowned slightly without leaving a trace.

As a senior ninja of Konoha Village, she is not unaware of Shimura Danzo, the Hokage advisor.

Even because Asuma often came to her, she knew more about this Danzo.

And Danzo also saw Kurenai Yuhi, and his brows frowned slightly.

Is the business of this snail noodle shop so hot?

Even Kurenai Yuhi is here.

Then, the Root Ninja who was following him asked Ayame to be busy in the name of buying a bowl of snail noodles.

Danzo also observed Ayame and scanned the surroundings, but did not find what he wanted.

Finally, Danzo left with his people.

"What a weirdo, leaving now?"

Ayame, who had just brought out a bowl of snail noodles, was shocked to see that Danzo and the other two had disappeared.

Are you kidding yourself?

"Ayame, why don't you close the store for the next two days?"

Xihi Kurenai looked at Ayame and said; "Those two guys just now were not ordinary people."

Danzo of the Root suddenly brought people here, and Xihi Kurenai did not think that the other party came to eat snail noodles.

"Eh? Not ordinary people, ninjas?"

Hearing Xihi Kurenai's words, Ayame scratched his head and hesitated: "Then there is no need to close the store."

He had just opened the store and was thinking about seeing Lin Mo here every day.

If it is closed for two days, it will be a loss.

"Well, that is a ninja from the Anbu of Konoha. He came here suddenly. Maybe something happened."

After thinking for a while, Yuhi Kurenai said, "I will be free next time. Come over and sit with you."

This way, there is a reason to stay here and observe Lin Mo's shop.

"Anbu?"

Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's words, Ayame was stunned and hesitated, "Some time ago, patrolling ninjas and Anbu ninjas went to Ichiraku Ramen to ask if there were any suspicious people. Is it related to the explosion? Has it not been found out yet?"

When there was an explosion in Konoha Village before, many ninjas took action.

Her Ichiraku Ramen Shop had also encountered many ninja inquiries before.

This is a very normal thing.

"Maybe."

Yuhi Kurenai smiled cheerfully and said, "Since you are not going to close the store, I will bring the team here after training today. If there is any emergency, I can also help."

"Yeah, thank you."

Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's words, Ayame nodded immediately and thanked Yuhi Kurenai.

Then, Yuhi Kurenai said goodbye to Ayame and left.

At this time, it was almost time for Hyuga Hinata and others to gather.

"Hong."

Not long after Yuhi Kurenai walked out of the snail noodle shop, Asuma looked at Yuhi Kurenai and said hello.

"Yeah, Asuma."

Yuhi Kurenai nodded, as a nod and a greeting: "Good morning."

"Um, Kurenai, do you have time today?"

Asuma hesitated; "After the team training, we can sit down and let the children chat."

"I don't have the time, sorry."

Hearing Asuma's words, Yuhi Kurenai shook her head immediately: "I'm a little busy, the children can only communicate later when I'm free."

"Okay."

Hearing Yuhi Kurenai's words, Asuma sighed immediately, very disappointed.

Then Yuhi Kurenai said goodbye to Asuma and left.

Seeing Yuhi Kurenai leaving, Asuma scratched his head, wanting to say something, but finally turned into a deep sigh.

"Danzo-sama."

At this time

The Root Ninja who had already left said respectfully while walking with Danzo: "We can't find Zhu Ling, what should we do next?"

"This shop is so small, Zhu Ling's disappearance should be due to escape, or it may be done by the Hyuga clan."

Shimura Danzo frowned and said: "It has nothing to do with the shop. At the same time, keep your eyes on the outside of the village and send intelligence personnel to ask them to investigate whether there are any shops related to snail noodles."

"In addition, the next action of the Root Ninja will be in groups of three, avoiding the territory of the Hyuga clan. I speculate that it may be the Hyuga clan behind the scenes."

Sure, a living person suddenly disappeared, Shimura Danzo felt that only the Hyuga clan could do this.

After all, there is a precedent.

"Yes."

Hearing Danzo's words, this Root Ninja immediately nodded respectfully.

"Danzo."

At this time, another Root Ninja quickly came to Danzo.

While presenting a butterfly dart, he said respectfully: "I found a new type of ninja tool. Judging from its shape, it is much more convenient than the kunai and the hand."

"New ninja tool?"

Hearing this, Danzo frowned, took it and looked at it, and suddenly narrowed his eyes: "What a vicious ninja tool."

At just one glance, Danzo judged that this butterfly dart was much more vicious than the kunai.

And it was lighter.

"Send a group of people to see if they can copy it."

Immediately, Danzo directly ordered: "In addition, bring the developer here to see if he can develop it specifically for my root. At the same time, collect this ninja tool immediately and don't let it flow out."

This kind of good thing must be in your own hands.

Only in this way can your own roots better protect the village.

"Danzo-sama, we can't collect them."

Hearing Danzo's words, this Root member hesitated for a moment and said, "This is developed by a ninja tool shop. This ninja tool has become popular throughout Konoha and is very popular. The Hokage's Anbu even found this ninja tool shop and ordered a batch of ninja tools. At present, this ninja tool is in short supply."

"What do you do for a living!"

Hearing this, Danzo was furious and coldly scolded: "You didn't report this thing to me as soon as it appeared?"

How could Hiruzen's actions be faster than him?

"Danzo-sama, we have been staying in the base for the past two days, and we can't pay attention to some things in Konoha Village at all."

Seeing the furious Danzo, this Root ninja whispered: "We only know about this ninja tool today."

They have been hiding in the base for the past few days.

Even if they come out, they are wandering around, alert to all directions, so how can they have time to pay attention to some situations in Konoha Village.

"Damn thing!"

Hearing this, Danzo's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

If it wasn't for the bastard who attacked him, how could such a thing be spread out!

"Go to the Hokage's office!"

Danzo said coldly.

Since Sarutobi Hiruzen's Anbu has already established cooperation, it's perfect. Just persuade the Third Hokage to join forces to block this ninja tool and suppress it.

Then this ninja tool still belongs to the Root.

Thinking of this, Danzo brought people to the Hokage's office.

When Sarutobi Hiruzen noticed that someone pushed the door open directly, he immediately looked up.

When he saw that it was Danzo again, Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyelids twitched violently.

Why is it Danzo again?

"Huruzen, this kind of thing must be collected immediately."

Danzo came in and threw the butterfly dart directly in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said in a deep voice: "Compared with kunai and shuriken, this kind of hidden weapon is more harmful. If left alone, it will pose a great threat to the village."

"Only by collecting it can we better protect the village."

"Although it is very harmful, it is just a new type of ninja tool."

Hearing Danzo's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head and said: "I have arranged for the Anbu to reserve a batch, so there is no need to be so nervous."

"In addition, you have not paid for the several batches of ninja tools you pre-ordered in the name of the Anbu, and I have already settled the bill. This amount of resources will be deducted from your order."

"My Root has suffered heavy losses, and you are actually deducting my resources?"

Hearing this, Danzo's face suddenly turned ugly: "Do you know the importance of building an Anbu base?"

Originally, a batch of resources were needed to complete the third Root base.

As a result, before I could report to Sarutobi Hiruzen for it, Sarutobi Hiruzen deducted it first?

Then my own Root base was still built in vain.

"It's not deduction, Danzo."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head lightly and said: "You obviously took a lot of resources before, but the list you submitted didn't match at all, and you also pre-ordered ninja tools in the name of Anbu in the village, and it has not been settled so far. This is not okay. If this goes on, what if the ninja tool shop in the village is closed?"

"I won't interfere with the construction of the third Root base now, and I can't give you the resources you want."

"After all, the situation in the village is not very rich now, you have to understand."
