Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

After the baptism of the Three Wars, in the trials of blood and fire, a group of civilian ninjas with outstanding talents stood out and became the backbone of Konoha.

This group of combat-ready forces became the target that Kato Makoto wanted to absorb into the Root to make up for the shortage of jonin.

"Sir, this person is good. You can consider it."

Nara Suzaku used Shikaku's identity as the squad leader of the jonin squad to get out the list of new jonin in advance, along with everyone's information, and sent it to Kato Makoto.

"Hmm? There is still some shining gold among the common people."

Kato Makoto picked up the information of the top jonin and saw a photo in the upper left corner.

She has gray-black hair, a thin ponytail, a vertical scar at the right corner of her mouth, narrow eyes, a firm gaze, and an air of competence.

"Baiyun Zaojian, a jonin, is proficient in Konoha-style swordsmanship and is good at wind escape. He has a mature and calm personality, is not startled in times of crisis, is responsible and courageous, and has good command ability.

Born as a commoner, without enough resources, he could only follow the path of wind escape swordsmanship, and it was not easy for him to become a jonin. "

Nara Suzaku had obviously carefully read the information of each new jonin. Wind escape swordsmanship was the specialty of the Dark Ninja lineage. From the perspective of the ninjutsu school, this person had a high degree of compatibility with the root.

If Bai Yunzao joined the Root, he could become an elite jonin before the age of thirty. At an age when his energy and blood are not deficient, he might even be able to reach the level of Kage.

"He is indeed rare, and a rare general."

Makoto Kato continued to look through Baiyun's morning mission records.

During the war, he was exceptionally promoted to squad leader and took part in the war against Kirigakure. Facing the Kirigakure assassination force that was several times larger than his own, he left all the equipment such as detonating tags to the feint attack team to attract firepower, and led the others to break out of the siege from the side.

In the end, he brought reinforcements and rescued the members of the feint attack team. He was brave and resourceful, which was good.

The more Kato Makoto read, the more he admired this man. If this man had not been born a commoner ninja, he could have become the patriarch of the Zhongxing Clan.

With a feeling of admiration for talent, Kato Makoto put down the information and signaled Yamanaka Ken to invite the person over.

The meeting place was not in Kato Makoto's office, but at the entrance of the Root Organization's Hall of Merit.

Young and talented, these people value fame and achievement the most rather than wealth and power. There is no better place to recruit young talents.

Kato Makoto didn't have to wait long. With the speed of a ninja, it would only take a few cups of tea to go around the Konoha Village.

"Third Battalion, Fourth Division, Baiyun Morning, greetings, sir."

Yamanaka Ken led the way and instantly landed next to Nara Suzaku. Another person appeared in front of Kato Makoto and half-knelt to salute.

Kato Makoto was a general on the front line, and Baiyun used to be his subordinate.

This is also the reason why Konoha's newly promoted Jonin followed Yamanaka Ken to the Root without hesitation.

You know, during Danzo's time, few Roots, even the Jonin, dared to come here alone.

"Do you know why I called you here?"

"I don't know."

Yamanaka Ken is very sensible. He is not a member of the Root, so he will not state his purpose or do anything that would interfere with other people's business.

"I want you to join the Root."

Hearing what Kato Makoto said, Bai Yun Zao raised his head in surprise.

The function of the Root is mainly spying and assassination, and they like to recruit ninjas who perform mystical techniques. How could he, a civilian ninja who only knows swordsmanship and teleportation, become the target of personal recruitment by the Root boss?

"follow me."

Nara Suzaku and Yamanaka Ken did not follow, leaving Baiyun Zaoman alone to follow.

The Gen's Hall of Merit was rebuilt under the instruction of Makoto Kato. After entering, there is a long corridor with display cabinets made of large glass and stone slabs on both sides.

On display are the records of the achievements of the Root organization members. The living are marked with code names, and the dead are marked with pseudonyms. This is proof of the Root's dedication to Konoha.

Bai Yun was shocked when he saw the achievements of the people who sacrificed themselves in the morning.

Some were found out while trying to gather intelligence and died miserably, some burned themselves to death knowing they could not escape death, and some died while trying to stop powerful enemies...

The whole endless wall was like this.

"There are a total of 1,798 Gemen on this wall, including myself. Only 521 of them are still alive. The death rate far exceeds that of all active Konoha units, including ANBU."

"It seems that the village has many misunderstandings about the roots."

At this moment, Baiyun was in awe of the roots in the morning.

Looking at this wall, which Konoha ninja would still feel that the Root is eerie, and even have the nerve to slander the Root as the muddy water of Konoha?

At least the education Baiyun received since childhood told him that these people who sacrificed their lives for Konoha were heroes and worthy of respect.

“Our village is called Konoha, and our leader is called the Hokage, the embodiment of the will of fire, representing infinite light.

But where there is light, there is darkness, which is also the original intention of the second generation to establish the Anbu. Later, the teacher inherited the second generation's thoughts, shouldered the burden of the darkness of ninja, and established the Root that was feared by everyone.

You should understand that there are some things that the Hokage can do and some things that he cannot do. This is the meaning of the existence of the Root."

Bai Yun nodded in the morning. He was not a rookie. His strong and decisive character was the product of many hardships. How could he not understand what Kato Makoto meant?

They are all working for Konoha, and he doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.

Moreover, during the war, the Root had a greater influence and was the core of the pro-war faction. The Root led by Kato Makoto was the best example.

"Since I took over the Root, I have worked day and night to live up to the legacy of my ancestors. Unfortunately, I can't do it alone. Don't laugh at me. The entire Root organization has no more than a handful of jonin, and most of them are auxiliary ninjas such as spies and detectives. There is a lack of independent talents.

That’s why I value you.”

Having said that, Kato Makoto stopped and turned to look at Baiyun Zaojian behind him.

"In the morning, become a root pillar. You have the qualifications."

The two had now reached the end of the corridor, and a bookshelf carved out of an arc-shaped stone wall came into view. Volumes of hidden ninja techniques were all placed on it.

However, that was just an introduction scroll of the magic. The real copy would certainly not be displayed so openly. It required corresponding merits to obtain it.

In the morning, Baiyun was touched by Kato Makoto's appreciation of him, and was also shocked by the number of secret scrolls hidden in the roots.

Although he knew that Konoha had the deepest foundation in the ninja world, he had no idea what it was. The two-story high circular bookshelf in front of him made him understand what the number one ninja village in the ninja world was.

Compared to the ninja clan who came to him recently and asked him to marry into the family.

The Root organization has superiors who value them, a platform to contribute to Konoha, and resources for future development.

He couldn't find a reason to refuse.

"Sir, I am grateful for your kindness. I will do my best to serve you this morning. I will obey your orders and have no second thoughts."

Seeing Konoha's new jonin kneeling on one knee, Kato Makoto laughed and quickly helped him up.

"I heard that you are good at wind escape swordsmanship, so I wrote a report on my experience."

The Root Commander took out the scroll that had been prepared long ago and placed it in Bai Yunzao's hand personally.

The latter had seen Kato Makoto's miraculous swordsmanship on the battlefield, where he chopped the current Fourth Mizukage Karuta Yagura into the ground with one sword. He still often dreams of that unparalleled sharpness.

Always use this as a goal to motivate yourself.

It was a handwritten letter from his idol, or a collection of swordsmanship tips. Bai Yun felt in the morning that the scroll weighed more than a thousand pounds.

“I learned the secret wind style sword technique from Shinobi An, so I can’t give it to you directly. But as a member of the Root, I will make an exception and allow you to exchange it for merit.

Entering the Root, there are always dangerous tasks, and I might die one day. When that happens, you will still be here, so the teacher's unique skills will not be lost. "

Kato Makoto's words were so sincere and heartfelt that Bai Yun's eyes turned slightly red in the morning.

"My Lord, you are responsible for the safety of Konoha. You must not go to a dangerous place in person."
