Naruto: The world has misled me a lot!

Kato Makoto is not a fool who is ignorant of the ways of the world. How could he oppose the policy of his backer right from the start? What's the difference between that and making trouble for himself?

However, he was very interested in the reaction of Pharmacist Nono. Was the other party placing some kind of expectation on him?

That would be more interesting.

"Tell me more about it."

There was no change in Danzo's eyes, and it was hard to tell whether he was in a good or bad mood at the moment.

If the heir you choose acts completely according to your will and is a fool, then it is no different from controlling the Root yourself. Don't expect him to be able to compete with the Sarutobi lineage, and Danzo will not need this heir.

If the heir has his own thoughts, it will inevitably conflict with the original will. If left unchecked, the roots will soon become something else.

As a founder, if he feels happy, that would be weird.

In this contradictory state of mind, he wanted to listen to what the young man in front of him had to say before making a judgment.

"You founded the Root to train the Anbu and to deal with things that Konoha wanted to deal with but couldn't do. This policy is not only correct, but also very correct.

The ninja world has been at war again and again. The big countries are still okay as they have the ninja villages to suppress them, but the small countries have to survive in the cracks and can only fight and rob to survive.

It is impossible to expect them to obey peacefully.”

Danzo nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, this was also the thing he disliked about the Third Hokage.

The interests of Konoha were all fought for by our ancestors with every move. It is simply a fantasy to use words to influence the hostile forces who are doing illegal things secretly.

Jiraiya, who inherited Sarutobi's will, was even more outrageous. He actually believed that mutual understanding could resolve conflicts and eliminate war.

If that's the case, why would he bother looking for the Son of Prophecy? Wouldn't it be enough for him to just influence the general public?

It is really foolish to pin your hopes on vague prophecies even though you know it is impossible.

Therefore, when the Elders discussed the next generation of Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen nominated Jiraiya, but was strongly opposed by Danzo Shimura.

It's not just that Orochimaru works under him and he wants to fight for the interests of his subordinates, but also because he sees through Jiraiya's unreliable nature and cannot hand over the ancestral kingdom to such an irresponsible person.

"Go on."

There was a slight change in Danzo's calm expression.

"The original intention of the establishment of the root determines that its way of doing things and its principles cannot be aboveboard. The more it hides in the darkness, the more it can deter the enemy and protect itself.

After all, there is no such thing as a family member being spared from harm in the ninja world. Having no names, only code names, is also a way to protect our members. "

In his previous life, Kato Makoto had encountered countless assassination attempts. The Hehuan Sect had a bad reputation, and it was a great honor to be classified as a unorthodox sect.

Even more people simply regarded them as disciples of the Demon Sect and wanted to kill them as soon as possible.

Therefore, Kato Makoto had an intersection with the Shura Sect, one of the six major sects under the upper three sects. It was after a bounty was put on him that the disciples of the Shura Sect hunted him down.

This magical sect has only a code name but no real name. There is only one name in the sect, and that is the Shura Sect Leader.

Since they didn't know each other, there were even cases of people in the Shura sect killing each other.

But the Shura Sect has gone through thousands of years, and while other immortal sects have risen and fallen, its inheritance has never been interrupted.

"The only problem is that the processing of the roots is a little flawed."

Back to the topic, seeing that his cheap master was in high spirits, Kato Makoto flattered him for a long time and finally made him happy, so he offered some small suggestions.

Seeing that Danzo had no objection, the white-haired young man continued,

"The roots are made up of people, not machines. People have emotions and desires. When we ask them to become machines when performing tasks, we have to take care of their emotions as humans.

At least, their families should be properly settled.”

This is what Makoto Kato thinks is the most outrageous thing about Danzo. He wants the members of Root to have a spirit of dedication, but he also requires them not to have emotions.

Such inconsistencies will sooner or later lead to big problems, either traitors or internal collapse.

Danzo didn't answer.

The blonde beauty who had been listening to Kato Makoto's narration loosened her clenched fists and lowered her eyes again, obscured by the spectacular things.

But her faster beating heart warmed up her blood, which she thought was already cold.

"Ryoma!"

A deep voice came from the hospital bed into the ears of the Dark Ninja's right-hand man.

"exist!"

"Make room for him in an office at the Root. In the future, a copy of the Root's information and intelligence will be sent to him."

Danzo did not specify who this "he" was, but the other three people present knew who it was.

Aburame Ryoma replied quickly after being distracted for a moment.

"Yes!"

……

A few days later, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Front returned to the central camp with a cane. After a brief meeting, he wrote a strongly worded letter of condemnation to Iwagakure Ōnoki in his name on behalf of the Daimyo Prefecture and Konoha.

Of course, the petty-minded Ohnoki did not pay attention to Shinobu no Yami's warning and did not even write a reply, not giving the Konoha general any face at all.

According to the information sent back by the walking shrine maiden, after receiving the letter, Ōnoki flew into a rage, angrily scolded Danzo for being shameless, and used Dust Release to turn the handwritten letter into dust.

From then on, the 20,000-strong Iwagakure army advanced at a rapid speed, blocking the Third Raikage on his way back to the Land of Lightning.

Compared to the Land of Earth which is covered with loess and rocks, the Land of Thunder is undoubtedly a land of fish and rice.

Although Iwagakure, under the command of Ōnoki, seized a large piece of land in the north of the Kingdom of Wind, the yellow-white sand was poorer than the yellow-brown soil. Compared with the hard life in the Kingdom of Earth, the Kingdom of Wind could only be regarded as a beggar.

As for the Water Country with its numerous rivers and lush aquatic plants, Iwagakure has already sacrificed a Kage for it. In addition, the long distance and unbearable logistical pressure made Ōnoki shift his coveted eyes.

There was no need to think about Konoha, a golden flash made the Iwagakure unable to move, not to mention the Three Ninjas and the Yami Ninja who were following behind them.

Even if Ōnoki had ten times the courage, he would not dare to be so rude.

After all the calculations, the Kingdom of Thunder, which also stood aside and watched during World War II, is the best target for robbery.

Now, Konoha has already crippled the reckless man of Kumogakure on behalf of Iwagakure. As long as Ohnoki cuts off the Raikage's retreat, the wealth accumulated in the Land of Lightning will become a lamb to be slaughtered.

Thinking of this, Ohnoki, who was floating in the air, couldn't help but laugh out loud, and looked triumphantly in the direction of the Cloud Ninja army.

Once I accept the wealth of the Land of Lightning, Iwagakure will become one of the two strongest ninja powers in the world, no less powerful than Konoha. Then I will personally lead an army to compete with Konoha.

The emperor takes turns, and today it's my turn.

Konoha has been the overlord of the ninja world for long enough, it's time to give up its position.

Just as Ohnoki was imagining the future, his son Huangtu hurried over and interrupted his fantasy.

"Father, there is an urgent message from the Fire Country Daimyofu and Konoha."

"Or was it that old fellow Danzo who wrote the letter without my permission?"

Oonoki just glanced at it and didn't take it.

He had a very bad impression of this Dark Ninja of Konoha. He only learned the cruelty of Senju Tobirama, but did not learn how to deal with things. As a result, the big clans of Konoha were not strong, the small clans were weak, and many outstanding talents died in his hands.

It's really despicable that he used a false name to scare him before!
