Root's base.
Aoyama was wearing a mask, dressed like an Anbu. He was being led by two Root ninjas into the depths of the base.
Along the way, the faint smell of blood didn't disperse. Along the way, he didn't meet any Root ninjas. The entire base was like a century-old tomb, dead silent and cold.
A dark room, an old desk, piles of documents, and a flickering candle. Aoyama wasn't unfamiliar with this place because it was Danzō's office.
At this time, Danzō was bent over the desk, writing rapidly, and dealing with official business.
"Sensei, I have already left the village, why did you call me back? Didn't you ask me to get out of here? " After the two Root ninjas left, only he and Danzō were left in the office, Aoyama opened his mouth.
After Aoyama finished refining the curse seal, he quickly left the village and headed towards the northwest. However, he didn't run far before he was stopped by Root ninjas who took Danzō's letter and asked him to return to Kiba.
"Why are you in such a hurry? If there isn't anything important, I won't call you back. Anyway, according to what you said about Orochi Maru, even if you return late, it won't be a big problem." Danzō put down the pen in his hand and looked at Aoyama.
"Now the village has decided that this time at the border between the Earth Country and the Waterfall Country, a war is likely to break out … We need to make it happen and weaken the Rock Ninjas and the Cloud Ninjas." Danzō's one eye flashed a fierce light.
Aoyama wanted to touch his chin, but he touched the hard mask. He knocked on the mask and asked, "Then let's fight, why are you looking for me?"
Danzō didn't say anything. He just stared at Aoyama with his single eye. It was a creepy feeling. Even though Aoyama was experienced, she still felt goosebumps all over her body.
"What are you talking about? It's such a good opportunity. You won't be able to achieve anything if you haven't been on the battlefield. After you experience the battlefield, I think you will be able to take over my position." Danzō said. This was the first time he officially expressed his intention to let Aoyama take over his position.
"Eh?" Aoyama was in a daze for a moment. However, she quickly regained her senses. This matter cannot be rejected. Danzō's intention was very clear, if you want to take over his position, then you have to go to the battlefield and show your achievements. On the other hand, if you don't agree, then …
"I know. Leave it to me." Aoyama gathered her spirit and replied loudly. Since she can't reject, then she might as well accept. Refusing will only leave a bad impression.
"I will give you 40 teams, and you will be the commander of these reinforcements. Go to Waterfall Country and look for Qian Yu. You and Qian Yu will be in charge of controlling our root's ninjas. When the time comes, the village will also send reinforcements over. At that time, you guys will also be included in the reinforcements. Remember one thing, the mission comes first.
Do everything you can to kill Cloud Ninja. "Danzō threw over a document and cursed Cloud Ninja coldly.
"Cloud Ninja? Aren't we going to Earth Country to loot a burning house? Why are we going to fight Cloud Ninja? "Aoyama went into a daze for a moment and asked.
Danzō didn't find it troublesome and explained everything that happened in the meeting. In the end, he said, "Now, we only have to choose the commander. After choosing the commander, we can send the reinforcements to Waterfall Country."
After listening to Danzō's explanation, Aoyama couldn't help but grimace. Luckily, there was a mask covering her face. Uncle Shihisa is really evil. Although Aoyama personally hated Rock Ninja the most, he didn't have any opinion about fighting Cloud Ninja. The scene of him being chased by two Yugito Ninja was still vivid in his mind.
"Let's go, I will bring you to confirm your team first." Danzō stood up and walked out of the room with Aoyama, rushing towards the base's largest training ground.
"This is the place, Hokage-sama." Shihisa accompanied Tsunade and pointed to the houses in front of them. There was a plaque hanging above the quaint gate with the word Hyuga written on it.
Tsunade looked up slightly at the gate. Decades have passed, and the village has changed so much, but it seems that there are still some things that haven't changed. It made her feel like she was in a trance, as if she had returned to the days of war.
"Hokage-sama, please forgive me for not coming out to greet you, please come in." Solar Foot hurried out with Tsunade and Shihisa and stepped into the gate of the Hyuga Clan.
Solar Foot was originally discussing with the elders about this matter. Since the war was going to start, the Hyuga Clan also had to make various preparations. As a result, the Fifth Hokage came to visit, so he had to interrupt the meeting and run out to greet Tsunade.
In the main hall of the Hyuga Clan, Tsunade, Shihisa, Solar Foot, and Hyuga Tenma were sitting quietly.
"Hokage-sama, if there's anything you need, just let me know, and I will naturally rush over. There's no need to trouble yourself." Solar Foot said politely.
"Well, Solar Foot, we are not strangers, so I won't beat around the bush. This time, I came here specifically because I hope that Solar Foot will be the commander-in-chief of this expedition." Tsunade stated her purpose straightforwardly, staring at Solar Foot.
Solar Foot's expression was very serious. He was not very surprised by this. He also had some guesses about the reason for Tsunade's arrival. He pondered for a moment and said, "I am grateful for Hokage-sama's attention, but as the clan leader, I really can't leave without permission."
After a very euphemistic explanation, Solar Foot also had a difficult expression. The Hyuga Clan had a large business, which brought many problems. The clan leader needed to control and mediate all the time. He was very busy, and Hinata and Hanoi had not reached the level of being able to take charge alone.
"Solar Foot -sama, I know your concerns, but I think you worry too much. Don't underestimate the talent of the younger generation. This is also an opportunity to train the younger generation. Besides, Tenma Elder will stay behind to help take care of things. There won't be any trouble." Shihisa also advised.
"And you know the current situation in the village. It is not easy to choose a commander-in-chief who can be recognized by all parties. Solar Foot -sama, you are the best choice."
Hiashi was silent. What he said just now was more or less an excuse. As the Patriarch of the Hyuga Clan, his position made him unable to act rashly. Everything must be discussed in detail, lest he take a wrong step and bring the whole clan into a dangerous situation. Every day, he trembled with fear, as if he was treading on thin ice.
Tenma narrowed his eyes and looked at Tsunade's determined face, and Shihisa next to her. After weighing in his heart, he said, "Clan Leader, since Hokage-sama has spoken, just agree."
Solar Foot was silent for a few moments after hearing this, and then slowly opened his mouth. "In that case, I will accept."
