After transforming, I became the wife of all Naruto fans.

Chiba truly hadn't expected that Danzo, that old bastard, would be able to use Kotoamatsukami directly on her.

If it weren't for her strong will and her ability to quickly activate her Swift Escape to accelerate her thoughts after sensing something was wrong, she would have really messed up this time.

Of course, given Danzo's integrity, it's not surprising that Chiba would directly use Kotoamatsukami.

To her surprise, she was actually valuable enough to make Danzo use Kotoamatsukami.

As Danzo's deepest trump card, Kotoamatsukami was only used once, during his time as Hokage.

In other words, her current value, in Danzo's eyes, is equivalent to that of a Kage.

It's unclear how Danzo came to this conclusion.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

Chiba had originally only intended to fool Danzo casually.

But since he used Kotoamatsukami to try and get her to join Root, then she should just join!

It's easy to invite gods now, but it will be difficult to send them away later.

Soon after, the two arrived at the root.

A nimble female ninja arrived and placed the "Tongue Trap Seal" on Chiyu.

At this moment, seeing that Chiba had successfully fallen into the bag, Danzo finally felt relieved.

Now that Qianyu has been acquired, the next step is naturally to inspect the goods.

The two arrived at a training ground. Danzo said, "I heard you know Wood Release. Can I see it?"

"Wood Release?" Chiba was genuinely surprised now. "How did you know?"

"Heh heh, don't underestimate Root's intelligence network!"

Danzo's words exuded intense confidence: "In this Konoha, there is nothing that Root doesn't know!"

"Is that so?" Qianyu didn't believe it.

Others may not know, but doesn't she? Root suffered a major setback during the Uchiha incident, but their resources were cut off by the Third Hokage. In recent years, there have been no wars, so it's good that they can barely maintain their existence; they're mostly living off their past achievements.

Furthermore, she has hardly ever demonstrated her Wood Release techniques; she only studied them a few days ago. If Danzo knew about them, it must have been revealed to her by someone else.

Think back to the places you studied before.

Qianyu suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. Did White Zetsu discover it?"

It's connected now, it's really connected this time.

She said that Konoha suddenly called her back, and that the matter of Guren was probably just a cover. The real reason was that her Wood Release had been exposed!

Wood Release was exposed, and White Zetsu revealed the information to Obito.

Obito believed that Konoha should not be allowed to produce another Wood Release user.

So he leaked the information to Danzo, because he knew that given Danzo's personality and behavior, he would inevitably clash with her, thus forcing her out of Konoha. At that point, he would have his chance.

It's just that neither Obito nor Danzo probably expected her to join Root so easily.

Since Danzo wants to see Wood Release, then let him see it.

Qianyu clasped his hands together, simultaneously drawing his energy into his dantian and unleashing a powerful voice: "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees!"

"Rumble rumble rumble—"

With the release of a massive amount of chakra, enhanced by Wood Release techniques and reaching Kage level, a lush forest instantly took shape!

Feeling the surging vitality emanating from the trees created by Chiba, Danzo's bandaged right hand trembled slightly!

That was an abnormal movement in Hashirama's cells, which was extremely dangerous for Danzo himself.

At this moment, Danzo couldn't care less about any of that.

Looking at the quantity before him, Danzo burst into laughter:

"Yes, yes ...

"Excellent, Phoenix Temple Chiba, you are very good!"

Regardless of the mysterious person who suddenly appeared and told him this news, Danzo didn't care about anything else at this moment, since he had the Wood Release user in his hand.

Because he really didn't expect that after losing Yamato, he would still be able to find a real user of Wood Release!

With such vitality and scale, what can stop him on his path to becoming Hokage? Damn it, what can possibly stop him?

"Sai!" Danzo shouted.

"brush--"

Sai appeared instantly, kneeling on one knee: "Lord Danzo, you were looking for me?"

Danzo pointed to Chiba beside him: "Go and train Chiba to join the organization, and let her familiarize herself with Root. Remember, from today onwards, Chiba will be my right-hand guard. Except for Ryoma, no one may disobey her orders!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo!" Sai nodded, then approached Chiba: "Lord Chiba, please come with me!"

"Is that all?" Chiba looked at Danzo.

"It's alright now, it's all over!"

Looking at Chiba, Danzo became unusually amiable: "Chiba, you should familiarize yourself with Root from now on. You can tell Sai if you have any requests. I have some things to attend to, so I'll be leaving now!"

After saying that, Danzo really left, and disappeared in a few flashes.

He got a little too excited just now, so he needs to take care of his right hand quickly.

"Shut up!" Seeing Danzo leave, Chiba shrugged indifferently.

She thought Danzo would talk to her for a while, but he left after showing her a Wood Release technique.

That's fine, she can't be bothered with an old geezer like Danzo.

"Let's go, let's go see what good stuff is at the roots! I can't wait!"

Chiyu excitedly rubbed her hands together.

Led by Sai, Chiba traversed the complex tunnels of the Root.

……

Yuto Yayama is 60 years old this year.

If he had some dreams and some attachments when he was young.

Since he joined the company in his thirties and took charge of clothing customization, his former dreams have long since faded away, leaving him with only a wife, children, a warm bed, and a mundane routine of clocking in and out at work.

However, thanks to this, and his own natural earnestness, he became one of the few elders in the Root clan and earned the title of "Clothing Immortal," even able to exchange a few words with Danzo.

Everyone calls him Mr. Yazan, who can do anything.

Of course, Yuto Hachiyama himself didn't care about these empty titles.

Because most of the people at the root are a group of emotionless killing machines.

How difficult can the clothing requirements of people who have lost all their emotions be?

Therefore, the older he got, the more he felt that life at the root was somewhat dull and tasteless.

"Sigh!" Sitting in his workshop, Yuto Yayama sighed deeply. "Even I sometimes hope for some change!"

It was as if they had heard his plea.

Outside Yuto Hachiyama's workshop, a series of energetic footsteps suddenly rang out.

Soon after, a girl with white hair and red eyes, whose beauty was so stunning that she shone even in the dim underground, ran in.

"Hello, sir, I'd like to have a set of clothes made!" the young girl greeted him energetically.

"Oh!" Looking at the girl, Yayama Yuuto became somewhat interested.

He glanced at Sai, who nodded slightly to him, indicating that this was Root's order.

This made Yuto Yazan even more curious: could such a girl emerge from the Root?

"What kind of clothes do you want?" Hayato Yayama asked curiously.

At the same time, while asking the question, Yuuto Yayama couldn't help but imagine what kind of clothes the girl in front of him wanted to have made.

Is it a flowing and stylish swordsman's outfit?

Or is it a kimono, as dazzling as a butterfly flitting among flowers, yet actually concealing deadly danger?

Or is it the traditional kind, a full-coverage ninja suit that hides all your features?

Yuto Yayama prefers ninja attire.

Although the ninja outfit was ordinary in normal times, in the heat of battle, the girl was covered in wounds but her eyes remained resolute. At the same time, her hood slipped off, revealing her stunning beauty. Her silky white hair fluttered under the moon, making up for all the ordinariness before.

Under the expectant gaze of Yūto Yazan, Chiba handed over several design drawings.

Judging from the numerous edits and revisions on this piece, it's clear that this is an outfit that the other party has been working on for a long time.

But the problem is...

"What are all these things?"

Hayato Hachiyama stared at the design drawings Chiba handed him, bewildered.

As a ninja combat suit, it's one thing to expose the shoulders, armpits, and back, which can be explained as heat dissipation, but what's with the cutouts on the sides of the waist?

Also, sleeves are either there or they're not. Why would you need sleeves if they're not connected to the clothes?

Looking further back, there's a butt curtain, leg rings, a collar that connects to the suspenders and looks a bit like a choker, black stockings, unidentifiable ribbons on the sleeves, a slit that hangs down on both sides of the body, and a skirt that's shorter in the front and longer in the back.

"..." Yazan Hayato fell into a long silence.

Then, with trembling hands, he took off his reading glasses and carefully wiped them with a cloth.

Putting his glasses back on and looking at the radiant Chiba in front of him, Yuuto Yayama couldn't help but say, "You seem to be a bit more emotional!"
