Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

The next day, Kato Makoto went to visit Shimura Danzo's tent early in the morning.

In the battle against the Third Raikage, the ones who were most seriously injured were the Yami Ninja and the Toad Sage Jiraiya.

The latter is still lying in the intensive care unit of the medical room, and the older Danzo Shimura is not much better.

Although he was moved to his own independent tent, there were still many medical ninjas around him. He was still lying in bed most of the time and could only sit up for a short period of time during the day.

"Teacher, please take care of yourself."

As soon as Kato Makoto came in, he saw the black-haired old man reviewing the intelligence in his hand, and two people standing beside the bed.

One of them was wearing a black raincoat with a dark green long coat underneath, with a purple stripe at the corner of his mouth and black sunglasses on his nose.

The white-haired young man knew the man's identity with just a glance.

Shimura Danzo's right-hand man and a core member of the Root, Aburame Ryoma.

The other person was wearing the uniform of the Anbu, with a cat-face mask under his long, slightly curly golden hair. Even the silver-grey metallic armor on his body could not hide his curvy and charming figure.

Seeing Kato Makoto come in, the beauty shook her shoulders slightly, which was caught by the former's keen perception, and he smiled at her.

"It's better to be young. You can recover much faster than an old man like me."

Danzo Shimura read the document quickly, picked up the pen to make his comments, and then looked up at his only disciple.

Seeing the young man's face regained its color, the old man's mood, which had been somewhat bad due to the intelligence, improved a lot.

Although Shinobu An still has the face of a middle-aged man, his actual age is over 55 years old.

In the war-torn ninja world where the average life expectancy does not exceed thirty years, forty years old can be called an old man, so he is considered to have a long life.

Continuous battles have consumed and overdrawn his body, leaving his black hair mixed with strands of white hair. If he had not used the results of Gen's human experiments on himself, Shimura Danzo's condition would have been even worse than it is now.

"Sensei led the charge and blocked the Third Raikage's strongest attack, which led to Konoha's victory. If it were me, I would have died before the Raikage died."

"So much bullshit, let's take a look at the intelligence."

Danzo Shimura interrupted his disciple's flattery with a smile on his face and handed over the information in his hand.

Kato Makoto picked up the scroll, opened it, and the usually calm young man couldn't control his expression.

"Iwagakure, we are going to join the war."

Iwagakure made a feint to defeat Konoha in the Land of Grass, and Ōnoki personally led the 20,000-strong Iwagakure army on a sea route that traveled day and night to attack the rear of the Kumogakure army.

This is the rhythm of destroying Yunyin!

"What do you think we should do?"

Danzo Shimura intends to test his disciple to see how his strategic vision is.

People who have been in the Anbu for a long time have a dark aura and always want to take shortcuts and use tricks such as assassinations and sneak attacks. These tricks may be very effective in small-scale battles.

But on the front battlefield, this way of thinking will not work. You must use the right tactics to win. Only when you have the ability to fight head-on are you qualified to talk about unusual strategies.

If you ask how Danzo understood these principles, well, the pain from the beatings he received will be remembered for a lifetime.

"Oh, Ōnoki wants to take advantage of Konoha alone. How can he do that? It was our Konoha that sniped the main force of Kumogakure, so we must let Konoha eat the meat.

Teacher, we should announce to Iwagakure in the name of the Fire Country Daimyo and Konoha that half of the benefits given by Kumogakure must go to Konoha."

"What if Ohnoki disagrees?"

Danzo leaned against the head of the bed, his left hand habitually touching the cross scar on his chin.

"Then Konoha will have to go to this ally's home and take a good look around. If I remember correctly, before Ohnoki signed the agreement with Konoha, he used a thousand-man army to attack the defense line of the Grass Country.

We haven't forgotten this grudge.

Moreover, it is only natural for allies to give up their interests. If he does not do so, it would be a violation of the alliance, and we can attack him with our army."

The white-haired young man looked out the window with cold eyes. To the northwest, the Land of Earth on the desolate plateau seemed to be right under his gaze.

When Danzo heard his analysis, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up. He didn't continue on this topic, but turned to ask about other things.

"What do you think of the current situation of the root?"

Hearing this, before Kato Makoto could answer, the two people standing at the head of the bed were shocked and looked at the tip of the shoe at the same time.

Only one of them could see it, but the other one couldn't see the delicate fingers with nail polish no matter how he turned his eyes.

Kato Makoto looked at the two people's reactions of facing a great enemy with some amusement, and met his teacher's gaze with a relaxed expression.

"Teacher, you are still in your prime. There is no need to think about handing over power so early."

The Root is the hard work of Shinobi Yami, it is a private reserve that no one is allowed to interfere with, not even ordinary discussions are allowed. Within it, the will of Shimura Danzo is the only criterion that cannot be violated.

This is also the reason why Aburame Ryoma and Yakushi Nonou hate having ears. If they hear things they shouldn't hear and arouse suspicion from their superiors, they will only become fertilizer for trees.

Danzo asks Kato Makoto what he thinks of the Root, obviously intending for the latter to come into contact with the Root, and thus inherit the will of Shinobi Yami.

Just like Danzo inherited the will of the Second Hokage.

"It's getting late. Hiruzen is already considering the new Hokage. If you hadn't shown up, I might have persisted, but my old buddy is about to abdicate. What's the point in fighting?"

Because of what the second generation said, he was trapped inside for most of his life, unable to get out.

Everything he did was just to prove that he was better than Sarutobi Hiruzen, and that Konoha would prosper in his hands. In this way, a hundred years later, when he saw his teacher again in the afterlife, he would be able to ask him a question.

Does the teacher regret not choosing himself at the beginning?

Now, the Third Hokage is planning to abdicate, and Shimura Danzo has lost interest as he has no rival. In addition, he has a new and good disciple. If his disciple can defeat the Sarutobi lineage, then he will win back a point.

Therefore, Shinobu An lost his previous stubbornness and his hostility dissipated a lot.

"Just say what you're told to say, don't worry about it."

“I see nothing wrong with the way Root does things.”

Kato Makoto's first sentence changed the expressions of the two people standing beside the bed, and Aburame Ryoma secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid that the successor chosen by Danzo would go against the old leader right from the start, which would cause big trouble.

A close resemblance to me has always been an important basis for selecting an heir.

The one who failed to meet the requirements in Konoha is staying in the roots.

Isn't this how the Sannin, whose skin was whiter than a dead person and whose smile was colder than a snake, was banished to the cold palace?

Unlike the famous insect operator at the Root, the walking priestess clenched her fists, and looked at the handsome white-haired young man with disappointment in her affectionate eyes hidden under the cat-face mask.

As expected, even Konoha’s new hero is an accomplice in the darkness and controls the darkness?

She was overthinking it, thinking that the person who let her go would not become the same as Danzo. Unexpectedly, in the end, she still couldn't wait for the road to redemption of Root.

"It's just that the internal rules and regulations can be slightly adjusted."
