After hearing Danzō's name, Nangong Zhe remained calm, but Mashiro, who had been sitting beside Nangong Zhe and Watergate, had a strange expression on his face. Although Mashiro had deliberately buried the fact that she was sent to Nangong Zhe's side as a member of Root to monitor him, she had to admit that this matter was a heart-wrenching pain for her. She might not show it on her usual self, but once someone mentioned it, she definitely couldn't remain calm.
Looking at Mashiro's slightly pale face and his trembling hands, Nangong Zhe couldn't help but feel distressed. Because Mashiro didn't receive any ninja training when he was in Root, he only received training as an intelligence officer, so he didn't have much access to information. Almost everyone in Root had received the Seal of Tongue-Bane, but it wasn't used on Mashiro.
But almost all the brainwashing processes in Root were used on Mashiro, and the fear of Root was deeply rooted in Mashiro's heart. Even now, Mashiro was very emotional that he was able to overcome the fear in his heart and chose to stand on Nangong Zhe's side.
Just when Mashiro's heart was still trembling, a warm feeling suddenly wrapped around Mashiro's trembling hands. This warm feeling went straight from Mashiro's arms to Mashiro's heart, and this warmth directly restored Mashiro's usual calm and intellectual feeling.
Mashiro knew that this kind of reassuring strength could only come from one person, and it was the person who pulled him out from Root and allowed him to live an ordinary and happy life, his "Miyagi" — Nangong Zhe.
Slowly raising his head, Mashiro's eyes met Nangong Zhe's eyes. Although Nangong Zhe didn't say a word, Mashiro knew that no matter how uneasy he was, the person who could calm him down must be the person who was holding his hand.
"Don't worry, I'm here …"
After Nangong Zhe nodded to Mashiro, he looked at Watergate who was sitting opposite him. Who would have thought that Minato would be able to leave such a trump card in his hands! Nangong Zhe didn't doubt the authenticity of this information. After all, Watergate should be very clear in his heart that he had an extremely capable intelligence network in his hands. As long as he wanted to verify it, he would definitely be able to verify it.
Although he had a grudge against Watergate for using such a method in front of Mashiro, Nangong Zhe couldn't understand Watergate's actions. After all, Mashiro's direct action was more powerful than passing this kind of information directly to him. Watergate knew how much he cherished his family. Starting from what he cherished the most, Watergate had indeed matured into a qualified politician, and wasn't as stubborn as before.
"I'll go to the Five Kages Tournament, and I'll accept the title of a follower. But I'll just show my face there, I won't make a move. Even if I make a move, it will be because of Danzō, this is my condition! "
Hearing Nangong Zhe's words, Watergate's face also hung a smile. Even if Nangong Zhe won't make a move, Watergate's purpose has already been achieved. If he really needs to fight, in fact, Watergate himself is very confident that he can survive among the four Kages. If Watergate uses Sage Mode, everything will end faster. So things like fighting don't need Nangong Zhe's direct participation, Watergate only needs Nangong Zhe's reputation in the Ninja World!
After a brief discussion with Nangong Zhe about the matters related to the Five Kages Tournament, the meeting place and the departure time, Watergate left Nangong Zhe's house with satisfaction. After seeing Watergate off at the gate, Nangong Zhe slowly walked back to his house. Mashiro was sitting in the living room at the moment. Although Nangong Zhe temporarily comforted Mashiro, such a thing involving a very deep psychological problem can't be solved in a short time.
After Watergate came, Little Linger and Nangong Rou, who have been hiding in their rooms, both came to Mashiro's side. The two girls hugged Mashiro, who has always been like an elder sister, and softly comforted him.
Nangong Zhe also nodded after seeing this. Nangong Zhe knows that comforting people like this is not something he is good at. Since Little Linger and Nangong Rou have taken on this task, it is naturally better. Nangong Zhe directly returned to his room and picked up the Heaven's Retribution Sword that he placed on the shelf. He casually picked up a soft white cloth and began to slowly wipe the Heaven's Retribution Sword's pitch-black spine with some cracks. Although there was a cloth between them, Nangong Zhe could still clearly feel the cold touch of the Heaven's Retribution Sword. Could it be that Nangong Zhe wasn't angry at all?
Of course not! In terms of hatred for Danzō, Nangong Zhe was not weaker than anyone. However, at that time, Watergate was sitting opposite him, and Mashiro was sitting beside him. At this time, Nangong Zhe absolutely can't lose his mind. Therefore, Nangong Zhe forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart. On one hand, he could make Mashiro feel at ease, and on the other hand, he could make Watergate unable to see through his thoughts.
It was only when there was no one around him that Nangong Zhe was able to let out all the emotions in his heart. At this moment, although Nangong Zhe doesn't seem to have anything special, once someone can get close to Nangong Zhe, they can immediately feel a chill from the depths of their bones.
But unlike this bone-chilling cold, Nangong Zhe's eyes at this moment seemed to be ignited with a blazing flame, burning the body and soul. At this moment, it seems that he is looking for the next target to be burned by such a raging flame.
"Danzō … I accidentally let you escape in the past, and there has been no news about you for many years. I thought that you would live like a cockroach in the ninja world. But I didn't expect that you would actually start to come out and cause trouble again. In that case, I naturally can't turn a blind eye to it. This Five Kages Convention will be the end of your life … "
The hand holding the white cloth involuntarily exerted force, and the sharp blade of the Heaven's Retribution Sword directly cut through the cloth. Even Nangong Zhe's finger was cut, but Nangong Zhe seemed to be completely unmoved, and just quietly held his sword.
