Nangong Zhe's words caught Danzō off guard.
Using Konoha as a temporary place to stay? Danzō never thought that Nangong Zhe's concept of Wood leaf would be so simple and crude. In Danzō's view, Wood leaf is simply the best place to settle down in the war-torn world. And everyone who joins Wood leaf will unknowingly fall in love with Wood leaf, and regard themselves as a member of Wood leaf.
Danzō never thought that there would be a person who would regard Wood leaf as an insignificant place to stay.
"Sure enough … I said that with Yuan Fei's ability to see through people, how could he not notice your extraordinariness? Instead, he just let you be, and only let you perform tasks when you are needed. So that's how it is, so that's how it is! " Danzō was so angry that he laughed and pointed at Nangong Zhe with one hand, as if he was laughing at himself for doing all these things to Nangong Zhe.
"Everything in my plan is based on the fact that you will use Konoha as a place for yourself to stay. But you gave me a different answer to all my plans, who would have thought of it. The infamous Yama of Wood leaf didn't put Wood leaf in his heart at all.
Interesting … I only caught that woman named Mashiro, I didn't care about that Nangong Ling. He just did something secretly and urgently transferred her out of Konoha's territory. You can take this woman called Mashiro back. Although the plan failed, you won't join my faction, nor will you join the Hokage Clan's faction. This result is enough! "
With that, Danzō waved his hand, indicating his men to bring out the captured Mashiro.
"Danzō -sama … We …"
A Root Ninja standing next to Danzō seemed to want to say something, but Danzō stared at him.
The Root Ninja could only stare at Nangong Zhe fiercely to express his dissatisfaction. However, he still turned around and led his subordinates to bring Mashiro out of the base that had already been exposed.
After a while, Mashiro was escorted by several Root Ninjas to Danzō's side.
There were some tears on Mashiro's clothes, and her skin was torn open.
After seeing Nangong Zhe, Mashiro anxiously said to Nangong Zhe:
"Miyagi, go quickly. These people want to use me to threaten you, don't care about me, go find Rou'er -mei and Little Linger. Take them and leave quickly, don't come back! "
Danzō glanced at Mashiro and seemed to admire Mashiro's character. There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You are useless to me, I will release you now. Although Root is not afraid of provoking Nangong Zhe, it is indeed not a good choice to be enemies with Nangong Zhe. "
Danzō waved his hand, and the Root Ninjas who were holding Mashiro let go of Mashiro. They let Mashiro walk to Nangong Zhe to prove that Root is not hostile to Nangong Zhe.
Mashiro was already injured, so the actions of the Root Ninjas weren't that gentle either. So when Mashiro was released, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
But Mashiro didn't care that his clothes were stained with mud, and his face was dirty with mud. Just like that, he stumbled toward Nan Gongzhe.
When Nangong Zhe was sure that there was no movement from Root, he urged the sword energy dragon to circle up and wrap Mashiro in it. This was to prevent the Root Ninjas from coming up with any tricks.
"Mashiro …"
Nangong Zhe's figure came out of the sword energy dragon's reverse scale and came to Mashiro's side. He called Mashiro's name and gently hugged Mashiro who was covered in wounds. She gently patted Mashiro's head with one hand and said softly:
"Don't worry, I will never let Root threaten you again. Since I promised you back then, I will protect you well and treat you as my real family. I will do my best to protect you and not let you suffer the slightest grievance! "
After saying that, Nangong Zhe even intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Danzō who was standing in front of the Root Ninjas.
"Nangong Zhe, remember our agreement. From today onwards, you will not stand on my side or Yuan Fei's side! "
Danzo didn't pay attention to Nangong Zhe's eyes, but he emphasized the deal between them.
"Of course, although I don't like your way of doing things. But I have always been a man of my word. Since I promised you, I will not go back on my word. "
Nangong Zhe said, but Danzō frowned with some dissatisfaction.
"I never believe a person's promise, since there is an agreement, I naturally have to leave something as proof."
Nangong Zhe naturally heard about Danzō's suspicion. So Nangong Zhe was not surprised that Danzō would make such a proposal.
"Proof? You want … "
Before Nangong Zhe could finish his words, Nangong Zhe's abdomen was pierced by a Kunai. Even Li Yang's black armor couldn't stop this Kunai. Chakra formed a thin layer of sharp edge on the edge of the Kunai. This Kunai was made of rare Chakra metal. It was extremely sharp!
"The proof I want is very simple. Since you can't join either Root or Hokage's faction. Isn't the best proof to hand over your life? Only in this way, you won't have the slightest chance to go back on your word! "
Danzō said. Nangong Zhe was familiar with Root. They were ruthless and never believed anyone except for their own people and the dead. It's just that Nangong Zhe couldn't accept that the one who showed him a Kunai was the girl in his arms — — Mashiro.
Mashiro, who was buried in Nangong Zhe's arms, raised her head. Her face was full of tears, she should be extremely angry with Mashiro. However, Nan Gongzhe maintained his usual gentle smile as he looked at the tearful young lady.
"Why are you crying? It's me who was stabbed ~ "
Hearing Nangong Zhe's words, Mashiro cried even harder.
"Are you a fool? I'm a member of Root, there was no such thing as Mashiro from the beginning. There was only a Root Ninja named Sky. From the very beginning, I was sent to spy on you! If the situation went wrong, I would be the one who killed you! Why, why are you still smiling at me? Why do you still believe in me, you already knew! "
Nangong Zhe's hand was still on Mashiro's head, gently stroking it.
"I do know that you are related to Root. But you are wrong about one thing, the girl named Mashiro was never an illusory existence. From the beginning, you knew almost nothing about life. Sometimes you were a fool, but now you are the one who took care of my daily life. It's you who changed unknowingly, making me treat you as a real family member. I said, I won't let you be threatened by Root again. What does this have to do with whether you are a member of Root or not? "
