Root The battle was such that the sky was darkened and the earth was dark, the sun and the moon were shattered... This was of course an exaggeration. Under Chen's intentional control, the Root hall was only destroyed.
The terrain inside Root is intricate and complex, like a maze. Most people will definitely get lost if they enter.
Although Chen had the hand-drawn map Root by soul painter Hiruko, he wisely did not choose to go in because it was too abstract.
What if I get lost?
What's more, there are people holding hands at every exit of Root, and there is a huge barrier covering the outside, so there is no need to go in.
After Danzo left, the battle situation was meaningless. Chen did not choose to kill the remaining Root Shinobi.
Especially when Third Hokage comes in.
With Hokage's order, most Root Shinobi did not continue to attack and chose to put down their weapons.
After all, Root still belongs to the battle sequence of Konoha. Not every ninja is a die-hard fan of Danzo, and not every ninja has been completely brainwashed.
Looking at the corpses on the ground and the destroyed Root hall, Third Hokage just remained silent.
What else can be said?
Chen has brought Nawaki Hiashi in first to confirm the fact that Danzo transplanted Sharingan.
Regardless of whether there are other Kekkei Genkais, this alone is enough to declare Danzo as Rogue Ninja.
What's more, the two of them had a big battle, and with so many ninjas dead, it was already a fight to the death.
Fortunately, Chen was not holding the body of Danzo in his hands, so he felt a little relieved.
"Where is Danzo?" Third Hokage asked.
Regardless of how Danzo will be dealt with in the future, now we must find him first and we cannot let our old friend die.
Third Hokage also has something to ask Danzo.
"Escaped towards other exits, where Minato was guarding." Chen replied.
Third Hokage squinted his eyes and thought for a while, but left first.
Chen didn't pay too much attention, but patiently waited for news from Minato.
But it turns out that ginger is still spicy.
When Danzo rushed to another exit, he encountered Minato, dropped another Sharingan and cast Izanagi, then fled back to Root again, and then disappeared.
After that, Hiashi sent Hyuga Shinobi to search layer by layer, but could not find Danzo. Instead, they found two new exits in a remote corner.
Danzo is indeed an old fox. Even with four exits, he felt that it was not safe, so he secretly built two more exits that only he knew.
"Old man, he should know where Danzo is now." Standing in the hall, Orochimaru said hoarsely.
"Yes, Hokage Uncle still knows Danzo." Chen nodded in agreement.
When Third Hokage saw Danzo's body without it, he left immediately. This was not because he didn't care about Danzo's life or death, but because he was convinced that Danzo would be able to escape.
Even...Third Hokage left directly, probably because he knew where Danzo would appear, and then rushed to connect.
The two are indeed good friends.
"How to deal with these Root Shinobi?" Chen asked.
"Of course I will stay, these are all talents."
A glimmer of excitement flashed in Orochimaru's eyes. He had long coveted the talents brought by Danzo, and now these would become his.
As for whether these Root Shinobi will come back, Uncle Snake is still very confident in his control.
What's more, for Danzo, these Root Shinobi are not so much loyal as they are numb.
Imagine being given strict killing education since childhood, and even being asked to kill companions who have been practicing together. Under such circumstances, can a ninja who relies on his roots really be loyal to Danzo?
Not really.
Although the roots are obedient and efficient in action, the way they grow determines that they are far different from the "Will of Fire" of Hokage in some places.
Most of Danzo's subordinates are more like dolls than ninjas.
Since Danzo can control these dolls, Orochimaru is confident that it will not be worse than Danzo.
Of course, this does not mean that there are no diehards.
Danzo personally founded Root, and many ninjas were completely brainwashed by him.
Therefore, seeing his boss escape safely, some of Danzo's trusted ninjas immediately launched an attack.
But there was no suspense about the outcome of the battle. Under the instruction of Orochimaru, he followed the three seals and opened one, deliberately revealing a way out.
A trap has been laid outside, waiting for them to get in.
After the matter was completely over, Orochimaru began to take over everything of Root.
If you want to take over Root, you must first gain control of Curse Mark.
In order to control Root's ninjas, Danzo cast several Curse Mark on them.
The first is "Tongue Sealing Curse Mark", which means adding Curse Mark on the tongue to restrain the subordinates so that they cannot tell the secrets about Danzo itself and Root.
There is also "Self-Inflicted Curse Mark", which is used to block the actions of Root Shinobi when necessary.
In addition, there are many Curse Mark that can suppress chakra.
These are all means to ensure that Root Shinobi will not betray.
But Danzo has no time to take care of himself. Now is a good opportunity to untie these Curse Mark and re-reinforce Curse Mark.
Overall, Root is a huge treasure.
Orochimaru of the original space and time specially established a Hidden Sound Village for his own research.
At that time, Uncle Snake started from scratch, but now he has directly inherited the legacy of Danzo. You can be sure that his future research development will be very rapid.
"Will Hokage Uncle directly cancel Root?"
Chen asked while replacing Root Shinobi with Curse Mark.
Orochimaru shook his head and said, "Root can be said to be the place where Konoha pays the most attention to infiltration and reverse osmosis.
As far as I know, in addition to targeting Five Great Nations, Danzo also spared no effort to penetrate Land of Rain and many small countries.
The village cannot live without Root. It is not something that can be canceled immediately if you want to. "
To put it bluntly, Root has spent twenty years of hard work. These resources all come from Konoha, and they have achieved outstanding results.
Third Hokage has no reason and it is impossible to dissolve Root.
But similarly, Danzo, as the boss of Root, has reached a terrifying level of control over the village.
Danzo transplanted Sharingan and Wood Release, and will definitely be announced as Rogue Ninja.
If he doesn't die, Konoha faces the possibility that all his secrets will be leaked.
But now only Third Hokage knows the location of Danzo.
Whether to kill him directly or let him go... it depends on Third Hokage.
But Chen was not looking forward to the result, and even had predictions.
In the original time and space, Human Experimentation of Orochimaru was exposed, and Third Hokage was not willing to kill his disciple.
Will there be an exception this time?
As for the Mangekyo Sharingan in the mirror, Chen has already controlled Hiruko. Is there no other backup plan?
To put it bluntly, if Third Hokage really insists on letting Danzo go, even if he is Hokage, he must be responsible for his actions.
Sarutobi Hiruzen is waiting for an explanation from Danzo. Could it be that Chen let Danzo go on purpose just to ask for an explanation from Third Hokage?
A bargaining chip that can be exchanged for Danzo's life... What else does Third Hokage have in his hands now?
