"The root of ANBU?"
"That sir."
"Could it be Danzo Shimura?"
Even when he was fighting the Kiri Ninja on the battlefield, it was hard to see Shikaku so angry in Cross Country.
Therefore, looking at Lu Jiu's livid face and listening to Lu Jiu's cold voice that contained endless anger, Yue Ye was afraid that Lu Jiu would get angry, so he followed Lu Jiu obediently and headed towards the cross country. The familiar yet unfamiliar Hokage hurried to the Hokage's office, where he was ready to get an explanation for what happened tonight.
However, when Zijiu followed Lu Jiu and carefully recalled what Lu Jiu said before, a flash of light suddenly flashed in Zijiu's eyes!
Because at that moment, Cross Country suddenly recalled important words such as "The Root of Anbu" and "That Sir" from Shikaku's words.
It was also combined with the vocabulary that Shikaku deliberately explained, which made Cross Country instantly guess that the mastermind behind the two Anbu was none other than Shimura Danzo, who controlled the "root" department in the original plot!
A member of the Konoha Elders who hides in the dark side and always considers interests!
Danzo Shimura!
Speaking of which, it's no wonder that when Cross Country first heard about "The Root of Anbu", he didn't associate the identity of "that adult" with Shimura Danzo.
After all, in the familiar plot of the original work, the "Root" Department may look like one of the branches of the Anbu on the surface. In fact, no matter from which aspect, the "Root" Department is more like Shimura Danzo's private armed force. It's completely different from the "Roots of Anbu" that Cross Country knows!
So, during the war, he participated as an Anbu. What is the Anbu in cross-country understanding like?
From a cross-country perspective, ANBU is really a very large organization.
In addition to having ANBU roots and ANBU combat troops among them, ANBU intelligence troops, ANBU assassination troops, and other ANBU troops can all be considered branches of the huge ANBU!
In the previous cross-country trip, the ANBU unit where Kakashi and others belonged was part of the ANBU combat unit. It was an ANBU unit that directly participated in the war and proved its worth in fierce battles.
As for the ANBU combat force, it goes without saying that it must be controlled by the fourth generation Hokage, the mentor of cross-country.
However, because the Fourth Hokage took the throne not long ago and has not yet fully grasped the power, in addition to the ANBU combat troops, such as the ANBU intelligence unit and the ANBU assassination unit, are in the hands of the Third Hokage, and the remaining ANBU departments are It is the members of Konoha's elders who are in charge.
As for what Shikaku said before, the person who controls the roots of ANBU is Shimura Danzo, who is very familiar with the plot of the original novel!
However, the current Anbu Root is not like the original plot. It is also known as the "Root" Department and is Shimura Danzo's personal armed force.
The current Anbu Root actually has only one role in Anbu, and that is to train Anbu!
For example, cross-country participation in ANBU is a relatively special existence, because he gradually became familiar with the rules of ANBU during combat under the leadership of the ANBU captain.
It is very normal for ordinary ninjas who want to join ANBU to enter ANBU root training.
It seems that Uchiha Shisui, Kakashi, and "Teng" in the Blade Team all received training at the Root of ANBU.
Therefore, when I started going cross-country and heard about the "Roots of ANBU" from Shikaku, I was a little surprised that the basic part of ANBU was causing trouble for me.
It wasn't until Cross Country remembered that the controller of the ANBU Root was Danzo Shimura based on Shikaku's words that Cross Country suddenly realized that the two ANBU Root ANBUs who came to trouble him might not be as simple as imagined!
It is very likely that Danzo Shimura wanted to form the "root" department in the original plot, and it was even more likely that Danzo Shimura wanted to recruit him, so he sent the two Anbu who were from the Aburame clan and the Yamanaka clan. of!
"Shimura Danzo, ha! What a familiar name!" "
It seems that whether in the original plot or in the fan fiction I have read, Shimura Danzo often represents conspiracy, betrayal, power, and Villain, right?"
"In fact, if you really look at Shimura Danzo from a rational perspective, apart from being a little extreme, many of the things he does are fundamentally in line with Konoha's interests." "Of course, and the Third
Generation Hokage, the fight for power among the four generations of Hokage is due to some faults of Shimura Danzo." "
But in general, Shimura Danzo is the kind of person who is far less bad than others think, and not as good as others think. Guy!"
"After all, judging from the current situation, Danzo Shimura wants to turn me into a member of the "root" department, which is unacceptable to me!" He thought to himself, and went off-road with
Shikaku. Hokage's office.
Moreover, just when Cross Country was thinking in his heart that he would never become a ninja who looked like a tool and a puppet like the "Root" troops in the original plot, Cross Country had just stepped into the Hokage's office. Astonishingly, he saw That familiar yet unfamiliar figure!
He was shrouded in black robes and wrapped in snow-white bandages.
Under the dim light of the Hokage's office, Shimura Danzo seemed to have foreseen the possibility of going off-road and Shikaku, so he waited there early.
As for Shikaku.
Don't look at how angry he was when he came to the Hokage's office, wanting to fight to the death with Danzo Shimura.
But the most important expression of human wisdom is calmness.
Therefore, when he saw Shimura Danzo waiting in front of him, Shikaku bowed with a respectful expression without expression, and then said in an indifferent tone: "Danzo-sama, can you explain what happened tonight?" "Is it something that happened
tonight?" "Let's not talk about the ANBU trespassing on my Nara clan tonight. Let's just say that Cross-country is also an ANBU. Even if Lord Danzo wants to see Cross-country, he cannot send ANBU and Cross-country to prepare to forcefully escort Cross-country. Here?"
"Danzo-sama, do you have any explanation for this?"
"There is no explanation, Shikaku, I was wrong."
Originally, Cross Country thought based on what Shimura Danzo learned about in the original plot. With Shimura Danzo's character, he must refuse to admit his guilt.
Who would have thought that as soon as Shikaku finished speaking, Danzo Shimura gave in!
Is that still Danzo Shimura in the off-road acquaintance?
Is that still Danzo Shimura who is willing to do whatever it takes to achieve his goals in the original plot?
But even off-roaders have to admit that Shimura Danzo's retreat-to-advance approach is indeed very good!
With just one sentence, Shimura Danzo was so choked that Shikaku was speechless. After all, he just gave in!
However, if you think that Shikaku is silent and can't fight back again, then you really underestimate Nara Shikaku, who is the brain of Konoha!
Standing so quietly in front of Shimura Danzo, Shikaku seemed to have taken the initiative, making Shimura Danzo feel a little bit in trouble!
Especially in Shikaku's silence, Cross Country discovered that there were two figures in the Hokage's office. They were the Fourth Hokage and the Third Hokage hurriedly came. When Cross Country secretly noticed Shimura Danzo standing there alone. figure, he sneered secretly in his heart, "My respected Lord Danzo, it seems that you are destined to be the loser today!" "We'll see!
Even if I really will join your "roots" in the future "This department is only possible if I want to join voluntarily. There is no way I am forced by you!"
Cross Country said coldly in his heart. Shikaku saw the third generation Hokage and the fourth generation Hokage coming at the same time. He ordered in a voice:
"Qiujiu, you go back first, you have nothing to do here!"
"Yes, Uncle Lujiu!"
After listening to Lujiu's instructions, Qiujiu nodded, and then hurriedly disappeared from Lujiu. In front of Danzo Shimura and others.
However, when Cross Country turned to leave, Shimura Danzo's interested eyes still stayed on Cross Country's leaving figure.
At that time, a faint smile appeared on Danzo Shimura's face!
"We'll see! Nara Cross Country, you..."
"You are destined to be mine!"
