The Root ninja who was standing in front of Kuroto immediately stepped aside, revealing the person who just spoke behind him.
His right eye was bandaged, and his right arm was also bandaged and hidden in a black coat. Although his face can't be said to be old, there are some wrinkles on it. He looks slightly younger than the Three Generations Hokage of the same generation.
But his left eye has an indescribable gloominess, like the eyes of an eagle, and after being stared at, you will feel extremely uncomfortable.
"So it's the leader of Root, Shimura Danzo -sama." Nangong Zhe naturally recognized the leader of Root, who is an important part of the Wood leaf defense force, Shimura Danzo, and then slightly bowed and said: "Greetings, Shimura Danzo -sama, I don't know why Shimura Danzo -sama sent such a small shrimp to invite me?"
Although he was slightly ridiculed by Nangong Zhe, the Root ninja who just talked to Nangong Zhe didn't show any emotion at all. He just stood quietly beside Danzō without saying a word. But the muscles all over his body were tense, and obviously, as long as Danzō gives the order, he will rush up and fight Nangong Zhe to the death.
"Small shrimp?" Danzō heard Nangong Zhe's words and smiled, and then said to Nangong Zhe: "Yes, maybe this subordinate of mine is not your opponent in a direct confrontation. But when did my Root ninja become the strongest in a direct confrontation? "
If it's not a direct confrontation, then isn't it an assassination? Indeed, whether it's the Anbu or Root, most of the time, they carry out assassination missions. Almost no one would do such a thing in a head-on battle that caused a lot of commotion.
The Anbu are supposed to fight in the dark, right?
"Then … What is the matter with Danzō -sama?"
Nangong Zhe doesn't want to keep arguing with Danzō about who is the strongest, because it's meaningless. Nangong Zhe also doesn't like to pretend to be polite, so he directly told Danzō about it. He wants to know what Danzō wants to do.
"My purpose?" Danzō stared straight at Nangong Zhe with his left eye and said: "I want you, Wood leaf Jonin Nangong Zhe to join Root."
Nangong Zhe knows that Danzō must have a purpose for looking for him. But he didn't expect that Danzō wants Nangong Zhe to join Root.
"Danzo-sama, don't you think you're taking things for granted?" Nangong Zhe said, "Although I'm not a high-ranking person in Konoha, I still have some influence in terms of combat power. Especially since I took over Kiba Ninja School, a lot of people know about me, and Danzō -sama directly came to recruit me. A lot of people won't be happy, right? "
Although Wood leaf seems very peaceful, there are actually a lot of hills. These hills won't directly fight with each other, but there are still all kinds of small conflicts. Naturally, Danzo was one of the more powerful ones among these mountain peaks.
Once Nangong Zhe joins Danzō's Root, there is no doubt that Danzō's Root will have a small increase in strength. Such a small improvement is very likely to directly break the weak balance between the mountains of Konoha, and the consequences would be unimaginable.
Moreover, Root is not a good place. The members of the Anbu can leave the Anbu after meeting certain requirements and getting the approval of the Anbu Head. However, Nangong Zhe has never heard of anyone leaving the Anbu after joining Root.
There is no big difference between joining Root and signing a contract to sell one's body. With Nangong Zhe's character, how can he join Root?
"Not happy?" Danzō heard Nangong Zhe's words, and after repeating it with a little contempt, he continued: "They are not happy, what does it have to do with me? Since I became the leader of Root, I have single-handedly led this new organization to grow up. In the process, how many people's interests have been violated, how many people are unhappy? But I am still alive and well, and Root is getting stronger and stronger. Those losers are unhappy, what can they do to me? "
Danzō indeed has something to be proud of. Because whether it is the Anbu or some other clans, they all relied on the legacy left by their ancestors and the efforts of several generations to develop. But Danzō can be said to have started from scratch, and pulled up such a violent organization. There is no need to say more about the hardships, and Danzō's ability is naturally obvious.
"Danzō -sama is naturally very powerful, to be able to establish Root single-handedly. But I am just an ordinary ninja, and now I am even a little tired of being a ninja. So I asked for an indefinite leave from Hokage-Sama, and if I have nothing to do, I will go to the ninja school to teach children. Although it is dull, it is also very fun. [Root] is very powerful, but joining [Root] means that I'll have to start an endless slaughter. Although I am not the kind of super strong person who can suppress the ninja world, but I think I have the ability to protect myself and my family. So … I will not join Root. Danzō -sama, please go back! "
Nangong Zhe was actually speaking from the bottom of his heart. From the beginning, Nangong Zhe practiced martial arts so that he and his sister could join Wood leaf, so that their lives would not be so difficult. Although Nangong Zhe participated in the ninja war, he also made a lot of contributions. But that is because Wood leaf has too many powerful people on top, and he is just an ordinary Chunin. If he were to make any one of them unhappy, wouldn't he and his sister be crushed to death like ants?
Therefore, Nan Gongzhe fought with all his might, trying his best to accumulate merits. Little by little, Nangong Zhe's strength became stronger. Later, with the help of Lio and Banishment, he became only half a step away from Kage level.
Although this strength is not enough to crush everything, it is enough to ensure the safety of several people and survive in this war-torn world.
Nangong Zhe spent these years perfecting his swordsmanship and accompanying his family. Nangong Zhe cherishes these days very much. He does not allow anyone to disturb their peace. Even if this person is the leader of Wood leaf's Root, Shimura Danzō. Nangong Zhe is not afraid to fight with him.
"Nangong Zhe … I didn't expect you to be such a man who is satisfied with the status quo. Longing for some beauty, longing for a moment of peace. " But have you ever heard of a saying? "After listening to Nangong Zhe's words, Danzo didn't pursue the matter any further. He turned around and walked out of the door with his men. Only one sentence is still echoing in the air.
"The tree wants to be still, but the wind will not stop. You have joined Wood leaf and become a ninja. It means that you have stepped into a whirlpool that you will never be able to break free from. You will come to me … "
