Naruto: Getting Stronger by Drinking - Chapter 916

Konoha, the home of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Outside a room, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo stood at the door, holding Naruto and Sasuke as they waited with cold sweat covering their faces.

"H-Hiruzen, that Uchiha brat, Itachi... he hasn't been beaten to death, has he?"

Danzo suddenly shuddered and looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi beside him as he asked haltingly.

That shudder was not because Danzo was worried about Itachi Uchiha.

Although the Uchiha Clan had gradually been accepted into Konoha's inner circle, Danzo's rejection of them had long seeped into his bones.

Changing his prejudice against the Uchiha Clan would never happen overnight.

Even if Itachi Uchiha had truly been beaten to death, Danzo would not have felt the slightest emotional stir.

The reason he shuddered was mainly... fear!

Danzo had once been known as The Dark of Konoha. Root and Danzo's name had long resounded throughout the Shinobi World. Though that reputation was a negative one, it only further proved how ruthless he was!

How had Root come to be? Aside from the children of major clans, most of its members were talented orphans Danzo personally selected from Konoha's orphanages and subjected to concentrated, deadly training.

The final test for joining Root was to kill the companions who had trained alongside them day and night.

And once they officially became members of Root, it meant they had lost all emotion and become nothing more than killing machines!

Assassination, poisoning, theft...

So long as it benefited Konoha or Danzo himself, the Danzo of the past would stop at nothing!

Thus, Danzo's reputation in Konoha and throughout the entire Shinobi World was synonymous with ruthless brutality!

Until he met Saiki Yuu...

Could the things he had done even be called ruthless?!

He had never seen torture like this before!
