Gen is not well-known among most ninjas, but its location is one of the most important places in Konoha. Many ninjas will never have the opportunity to set foot in it.
But as long as the ninja who knew of its existence were afraid of it.
Because the leader of Root is named...Shimura Danzo.
Gen's alias is called Anbu Training Department. Just from the name, you can know that its responsibility is to train ninjas for Anbu.
The original intention of setting up Root is indeed very good, and it played its role perfectly in the early stage.
But there is a problem. Root is an independent organization directly affiliated with Konoha elder Shimura Danzo. It is neither controlled by Hokage nor Anbu.
Third Hokage will hand over such an important institution to Danzo, which is enough to show Sarutobi Hiruzen's trust in his old friend.
But it is precisely because of this unbridled trust that Root gradually began to change its taste and became an organization that only served Danzo's personal desires.
From Danzo's point of view, everything he does is for Konoha.
So what Root did was all for Konoha.
As a result, Root became a forbidden place for Danzo. People who were not Root Shinobi could come here, and over the years, they could not exceed the number of palms.
But today this number is destined to be broken, because Chen entered here with a group of ninjas such as Nawaki Hiashi.
Just to ask for an explanation.
The reason is very good and powerful.
There are rumors in the village, and as a family involved, they must seek an explanation.
The truth is so simple that no one can say anything, not even Third Hokage.
However, according to Danzo's previous orders, no idlers are allowed to enter Root, and trespassers can be killed directly.
It's just that in today's situation, those dozens of Root Shinobi violated the order and retreated. No one felt ridiculous, and even the vast majority of ninjas wished they could retreat to the depths of Root.
Because it gives people more sense of security there.
But there are also advantages to retreating.
Root has been developed in the hands of Danzo for so many years. It no longer exists simply for the development of Anbu. The more accurate positioning is to preserve the last bloodline of Konoha.
In other words, this is a large shelter. The base goes all the way down to a hundred meters into the ground. No matter there is any explosion in the village, there won't be too many problems here.
Like in the original time and space, even under Almighty Push, the entire Konoha was gone, but Root was still safe and sound.
Danzo's lair has a high security level.
Similarly, at the entrance of the hall, several barriers were outlined, relying on the control of Root Shinobi to trap enemy attacks.
At this time, thirty Danzo ninjas carefully selected from various major ninja clans were divided into two groups and stood on the two wings. Their positions were very particular. They were slightly spread out to squeeze the hall while being able to echo each other to prevent Chen from using Flying Thunder God Technique to make a surprise attack.
Soon, another fifty Root Shinobi wearing animal masks poured out of the hall.
These are cannon fodder raised by Danzo from war orphans. They may not be strong enough, but they are better because they are not afraid of death.
He is the kind who is really not afraid of death and fully uses his secret skills to maximize his potential.
Root, today he fully demonstrated his strength.
Over the years, the subordinates Danzo has trained generally come from three aspects.
First, absorb those children who show talents from the village;
The second is to coerce the major ninja clans into sending their children to Root;
Third, collect those war orphans who grow up in waves like leeks.
When these children reach a certain age, if they have no potential, they will be trained as dead soldiers and used exclusively as cannon fodder.
In Root, talent comes first, and nothing else.
This group of ninjas who have never appeared in Ninja World War are elite forces created by Danzo and Teuchi with twenty years of hard work.
Many ninjas are not even recorded in Konoha's ninja files.
Only Danzo knows how many people there are in Root. Even Third Hokage can no longer understand too many details. He can only roughly know that the number of ninjas in Root is increasing year by year.
So, this is basically Danzo's private army.
But soon... it has nothing to do with Danzo.
Chen came here today firstly to kill Danzo and take back Jing's eyes, and secondly to help teacher Orochimaru clean up Root.
He looked towards the ninjas in the hall.
Scarlet Flash passed through his eyes.
"I was ordered to come here to investigate the matter of Elder Danzo, Human Experimentation. If you don't want to die, just get out of the way."
This is a piece of nonsense that can no longer be discarded, but no one dares to retreat, and no one will get out of the way.
A loudly shouted, "Meet the enemy!"
In an instant, dozens of ninjas, including A, rushed over one after another.
In addition to the ninjas maintaining the barrier, there were dozens of ninjas rushing towards the left and right wings, obviously heading for Nawaki Hiashi.
Chen was surrounded by more than a hundred Ninja Pouch.
These ninjas carefully selected and trained by Danzo are not bad in strength, extremely fast, and extremely skilled in coordination.
For a moment, those ninjas who maintained the barrier to prevent Root from being destroyed felt dazzled, but even more chilled to the bones.
Ask yourself, in this fierce attack, there are actually ninjas who can compete?
Is Konoha Lightning so powerful?
A, who rushed at the front, did not fight Chen immediately, even though ninjas kept dying around him.
Taking advantage of the death of "companions" to find opportunities is one of Root's rules of survival.
After all, facing a ninja like Konoha Lightning who has a huge disparity in strength between the two sides, if you rush too far forward, you are destined to be killed in one move.
For the sake of safety, he just used the most skilled fighting method. Lightning Release lit up in his hand, a flash of blue, and the sharp thorns pierced Chen's chest.
This Lightning Release is even more powerful than Chidori.
A didn't use all his strength, and he still had some speed. If he was defeated, he could escape even if he was injured, but he couldn't let the opponent succeed with one move.
A is still extremely confident in his own strength.
He has been in Root for more than ten years. Although he is not well-known in the village, he has never slacked off in Root.
Root There are Konoha most Ninjutsus to learn from, the best Training Ground places, and the cruelest Gu-raising mechanism...
A's talent is quite outstanding. In the past ten years, he has successfully completed various tasks of Danzo, and has also received careful guidance from Danzo.
A is really confident in his own strength!
This attack, under the cover of other ninjas, almost reached his most perfect shooting posture in recent years, without any unnecessary movements.
The young man in front of him made no attempt to stop him and allowed the Lightning Release to stab straight into his chest.
Between choices, the thin line between life and death!
Suddenly finding an opportunity, A's chakra suddenly surged, his figure became three points faster, and Lightning Release in his hand expanded again.
When Lightning Release was about to touch Chen's windbreaker, an invisible force suddenly gathered in the air, crushing Lightning Release.
A is surprised and uncertain.
What's this?!
