The razor-sharp interrogation was as if he intended to kill Aburame Ryoma.
"..."
Aburame Ryoma's breath caught, and for a moment, he couldn't refute him.
This Hyuga Sho is far too bold!
"Do you know what kind of place this is?!"
After steadying his breathing, Aburame Ryoma countered.
This was the training base of Root.
It was one of the channels for supplying Konoha's ANBU.
Konoha had not only light, but darkness as well.
In the corners unseen by countless villagers and ninjas,
ANBU and Root supported Konoha, this great tree.
If a great tree had only sunlight after losing its darkness,
it would soon die from a lack of nutrients.
Konoha's Root... was a necessary existence!
Aburame Ryoma was filled with fury.
He thought this Hyuga Sho was simply an idiot.
He didn't understand the way this world worked at all.
Did he think that he could protect Konoha just by relying on brute force and charging around like a headless fly?!
He was truly too naïve!
After all, he was only twelve years old and still young.
Young people were prone to being hot-blooded.
They simply didn't understand the world of adults!
"Hyuga Sho! I advise you to behave yourself! Come with me obediently to apologize to Lord Danzou—"
Aburame Ryoma hadn't finished speaking
when Hyuga Sho abruptly interrupted him.
"Shimura Danzō?!"
Hyuga Sho's eyes widened.
Then he stepped forward again.
His eyes were opened as wide as possible, making him look extremely frightening.
"You mean... Shimura Danzō is also connected to the child-trafficking case?!"
"!!!"
Hyuga Sho's counterattack nearly left Aburame Ryoma unable to breathe!
He felt a tightness in his chest and was so furious he nearly vomited blood.
And that wasn't all.
He saw Hyuga Sho narrow his eyes and continue, "...Tell me the details."
