"Sarutobi-sensei, I need to continue my training."

Orochimaru formed seals with his hands and created four shadow clones. His breathing became much faster and sweat dripped down his face.

"Orochimaru, don't push yourself too hard!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen saw that Orochimaru was forcing himself, his brows furrowed slightly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.

"Sarutobi-sensei, I'm fine."

Orochimaru took out a scroll from his arms with slightly trembling hands. With a shake of his hand, the scroll fell to the ground and rolled open.

"This is……"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the words on the scroll and could tell at a glance that it was the experience of a ninja who was good at wind escape, and it also recorded the wind escape vacuum ball.

"what……"

Orochimaru hurriedly picked up the scroll and rolled it up carefully.

"Orochimaru, this scroll..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen shouldn't have asked too much, but he couldn't help but want to know from whom Orochimaru got this precious scroll.

"Sarutobi-sensei, this is the scroll that Danzo-sama, the Hokage's assistant, gave me. He seems to think I have a talent for Wind Release."

Orochimaru replied as he looked down at the scroll.

Her teacher is the Third Hokage, and Danzo Shimura is the Assistant Hokage. Is it something that should be avoided if the Assistant Hokage gave her the scroll that records his experience with Wind Release?

Danzo... He came into contact with Orochimaru, what did he want to do?

Sarutobi Hiruzen thought about Danzo Shimura's previous intention to let talented children from each family in the village join "Root", and he felt a little suspicious of him.

Could it be that... Danzo wants Orochimaru to join the Root?

No! This is absolutely not possible!

Orochimaru is my disciple, how can she join the Root?

Sarutobi Hiruzen believed that everything Shimura Danzo did was for the good of the village. That was why he turned a blind eye to Shimura Danzo's use of training Anbu as an excuse to establish the "Root".

Now Shimura Danzo's reach is too long, and he even has his eyes on his disciples!

Danzo, you're going too far!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes flashed with anger, but when he looked at Orochimaru who was studying ninjutsu seriously, his eyes became soft and kind. He smiled and said, "So it's Danzo. It seems that guy also sees that your future is limitless!"

"Orochimaru, tell me how you and Danzo met?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen walked over and placed his hand on Orochimaru's head.

"Sarutobi-sensei, if I don't grow taller in the future, you will be the primary responsible person."

Orochimaru stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with resentment.

"Hahaha! How is that possible!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen laughed and removed his hand from Orochimaru's head.

"I met Danzo-sama for the first time last night, at the training ground. I was testing Wind Style: Night Wind by the lake, and it seemed like Danzo-sama was already there."

Orochimaru looked towards the place where Shimura Danzo had walked out last night, and continued, "He said that my parents were heroes, and he believed that I could become a hero like them in the future."

That guy Danzo... actually played tricks on a child!

No wonder Orochimaru would force himself...

Sarutobi Hiruzen could see that Orochimaru was quite happy, and he took note of the fact that his parents were heroes. He would have plenty of time to settle the score with Danzo Shimura.

"Orochimaru, this is my experience with Fire Style, Water Style, Earth Style, and Lightning Style. You already know quite a few ninjutsu. Instead of learning new ones, it's better to integrate the ones you already have."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had originally planned to wait until Orochimaru grew up before giving these scrolls to her, but his plan was disrupted by that bastard Danzo Shimura, so he had to take them out in advance.

"I understand, Sarutobi-sensei!"

Orochimaru was overjoyed and happily put away the scroll handed to him by Sarutobi Hiruzen.

What a wonderful boy!

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Orochimaru with a smile on his face, patted her head and said, "Orochimaru, you should practice first. I still have some things to deal with."

"Ah."

Orochimaru responded and watched Sarutobi Hiruzen perform the instant body technique and disappear in a flash.

It seems that Sarutobi-sensei doesn't doubt me... Could it be that Sarutobi-sensei is going to cause trouble for Danzo?

Orochimaru wiped the sweat from his face and thought with glee.

The Anbu training department is located beneath the Training Ground Zero, and deeper underground, that's where the roots are.

In the spacious training ground, young children are undergoing cruel and rigorous training.

Shimura Danzo crossed his arms, watching them fight until each other was bleeding, and shouted: "Discard useless emotions, kill your own hearts, you are a member of the root, you are tools in my hands, you don't need useless emotions!"

"Lord Danzo."

A Root ninja whispered something in Shimura Danzo's ear.

"what?!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes.

"Danzo, is this how you train ANBU?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen strode forward, emitting a strong sense of oppression. The Root ninjas did not dare to step forward to stop him without the order of Lord Danzo.

"Third generation, is this what you came in to say?"

Danzo Shimura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen who came with bad intentions, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone. He was very surprised. What happened to Sarutobi Hiruzen who didn't care about the Anbu training department? Why did he come to visit suddenly today?

"Anbu are not ordinary ninjas. They are there to solve all threats to Konoha in the dark that cannot be solved openly! They are scavengers who exist for the peace of Konoha!"

Shimura Danzo's gaze fell on the children training on the training ground, "Third Hokage, it's nothing, please don't disturb the Anbu's training!"

"Danzo, you've crossed the line!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at the children who were still attacking each other with bruised faces and noses, and shouted angrily. He glared at Shimura Danzo and said sternly: "Are you training ninjas for the village's Anbu, or are you training ninjas who only obey your orders for your roots!"

PS:

The way Shimura Danzo trained his roots reminded me of the Bloody Mist Village that Uchiha Obito created in Kirigakure, where ninjas were forced to kill each other, just like raising Gu.

Volume 16: Chapter Danzo, you are still too idle!

"Third-hand, are you suggesting that we disband the Anbu training department?"

Danzo Shimura stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen and questioned him. It would be troublesome to increase the number of Root members after disbanding the Anbu training department, but it could be done in secret, and there were also advantages. He could do things completely in the dark.

"The children are the future of Konoha and cannot be trained in this manner."

Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to save some face for Danzo Shimura. After all, they were all members of the Second Hokage's guard team, had experienced several life-and-death crises, and were companions who could be trusted with their lives.

During the years that he served as Hokage, Shimura Danzo's contribution cannot be ignored.

"Huruzen! Don't you understand?! Excess emotions will lead to hatred, and hatred is the fuse of war! What the Anbu needs are tools to carry out orders and eliminate threats to Konoha, not ninjas whose rich emotions will affect their mission!"

Danzo Shimura said loudly. From the very beginning, he couldn't stand Sarutobi Hiruzen's conservatism. In his opinion, this was a kind of weakness!

"Ridiculous! If you really care about Konoha, you wouldn't be training Anbu ninjas and Root ninjas in this way when Konoha needs to recuperate and recover its strength! Danzo, don't go too far! My patience has its limits!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't want to make his relationship with Danzo Shimura too strained. Normally, he could turn a blind eye to some things, but now, he could no longer convince himself that "everything Danzo did was for Konoha."

"Change the way you train, Danzo." Sarutobi Hiruzen calmed himself down and turned to walk out. "I will keep an eye on you, Danzo."

Danzo Shimura looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen's back with a gloomy expression and a hint of solemnity in his eyes.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who rarely cares about and pays little attention to the Anbu training department, made a sudden visit today, and his intention of giving him a warning was too obvious.

Could it be that……

A quiet and cold figure emerged in Shimura Danzo's mind. There was only one possibility for Sarutobi Hiruzen's abnormal behavior.

Is it because I came into contact with your disciple, Hiruzen... Did my previous proposal lead to today's disastrous consequences?

Danzo Shimura thought about how he had proposed that the geniuses of the major families join the Anbu, and actually wanted to absorb them into the Root and make them his own people. In the end, he was a little impatient, and Sarutobi Hiruzen saw through his plan and rejected his proposal.

Danzo Shimura was not at all surprised that Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that he had come into contact with Orochimaru.

As the Hokage, what's wrong with him assisting Konoha in cultivating talents?

So what if Sarutobi Hiruzen knew?

Hiruzen, what would happen if the disciple you so devotedly trained became a member of the Root?

Danzo Shimura showed a sneer on his face. Since Sarutobi Hiruzen was trying to warn him because of Orochimaru, he would make Orochimaru become a member of the Root.

training ground

Orochimaru sat on the treetop, meditating to increase his chakra, and couldn't help but wonder what would happen when Sarutobi Hiruzen went to find Shimura Danzo.

I don’t know what’s going on over there. Sarutobi-sensei and Danzo are both young and strong. They might get carried away and start fighting... It would be great if I could be there and watch them fight up close.

Thinking of this, Orochimaru felt as if there was a little person in his heart waving flags and shouting "Fight, fight!", fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

call out--!

A hurricane swept over, and Orochimaru stretched out his hand and four scrolls fell into her hands. The words "fire", "water", "earth" and "thunder" were written on the scrolls respectively.

With the removal of the shadow clone, Orochimaru obtained the shadow clone's memories. A large amount of experience about the four major techniques of fire, water, earth, and lightning, which was carefully compiled by Sarutobi Hiruzen, appeared in her mind. There was no feeling of cramming. What the shadow clone saw was equivalent to what she saw.

I see. It seems that having a good teacher is crucial when learning ninjutsu... No wonder the skills of most wandering ninjas are not that good.

Orochimaru looked thoughtful as he walked down the tree trunk with his feet. He paused and quickly formed seals with his hands.

"Wind Release·Vacuum Jade!"

Orochimaru took a deep breath and fired the wind chakra condensed in his mouth like a bullet.

Bang Bang Bang!

There were continuous noises, wood chips flew everywhere, and the trunk of the big tree in front was hit with pits of varying depths. There was a hole in the middle of the trunk through which you could see the opposite side.

Why does it feel like I'm shooting bullets with my mouth?

Orochimaru looked at the damage caused by the Wind Style Vacuum Ball on the tree trunk, and thought of the image of Shimura Danzo in the original novel, puffing out his cheeks and pouting his lips as he performed the Wind Style Vacuum Ball...

He also thought of the Iwagakure ninja's earth style, Rock Cannon Technique, spitting rocks from his mouth to attack the enemy.

"who?!"

Orochimaru looked around vigilantly and took out a kunai from his ninja tool bag with his fingers.

"Orochimaru, it seems that you have mastered the Wind Style: Vacuum Ball. Your talent is beyond my imagination."

Danzo Shimura looked at the marks left by the Wind Style Vacuum Ball on the tree trunk and was shocked. He had just given the scroll to Orochimaru last night, and today she had learned the Wind Style Vacuum Ball and could even unleash its incredible power. This was no longer something that could be described as genius.

"Lord Danzo."

Orochimaru looked at Danzo Shimura in surprise and jumped from the tree trunk to the ground.

No way, Sarutobi-sensei came to see you not long ago. Could it be that as soon as he left, you ran to the training ground?

Orochimaru complained in his heart, but asked calmly on the surface: "Why are you here?"

"I guess you'll come here to practice when you don't have any missions."

Danzo Shimura said with a smile that he was very patient when facing a genius like Orochimaru.

If he wanted to invite Orochimaru to join the Root at the right time before, now he not only wants Orochimaru to join the Root, but also wants Orochimaru to make the decision to join the Root himself. He wants to prove that his ideas are more suitable for Konoha, and that he, Danzo Shimura, is more suitable to be Hokage than Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Orochimaru, I believe you will become a great ninja who can stand on your own in the future and become the backbone of Konoha. If you need anything, you can contact me through this method. I will be very busy recently."

As Shimura Danzo said this, a Root ninja's figure emerged from the ground and placed a scroll on the ground.

"Master Danzo, why do you think so highly of me?"

Orochimaru asked in confusion.

"I see your potential, and I believe in my own vision."

The Sharingan is so convenient!

Danzo Shimura saw through the Sharingan that the amount of chakra in Orochimaru's body was far beyond that of his peers. Without any special bloodline, the fact that she could have such a large amount of chakra showed how terrifying her talent was.

Since you said so, I won’t be polite.
