Konoha, Root training ground.
Danzo stared intently at the two boys before him.
In truth, most of his attention was focused on Simu.
"Today, I'll test the results of your training."
Danzo's familiar hoarse voice rang out.
It had been a month since Simu joined Root.
Over that month, B and he had taken medicinal meals personally prepared by Kabuto every night at dinner, then returned to their rooms for a good night's sleep.
After they fell asleep, a decrepit old man with half his body wrapped in bandages would gently push open their doors in the dim light, slowly unwind his bandages, and reveal his large red Sharingan.
Why did that sound like some unspeakable adult film?
Fortunately, Danzo might have been somewhat perverted and somewhat dark, but he did not have any particular fetishes. Otherwise, Simu doubted he could have endured until today.
Whenever he hypnotized them, Danzo would occasionally recall the illusion from his first hypnosis—the honor of becoming Hokage and standing at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World.
It was truly addictive.
If it had been Simu, he definitely would have shouted before activating Genjutsu, "This, that, and whatever else—anyway, fantasy activation! Activate everything!"
After so many days of Genjutsu PUA, the two new Root members had changed noticeably.
Kinoe now looked at Danzo with a trace of respect in his eyes.
As for B?
That guy had become Danzo's complete bootlicker.
The moment Danzo finished speaking, Simu shouted, "Respected, great Shadow Beneath the Earth, Lord Danzo!"
Even Danzo was a little dumbfounded when he heard the title "Shadow Beneath the Earth."
He hurriedly stopped Simu from bringing his hands together and asked, "What does 'Shadow Beneath the Earth' mean?"
Simu replied in a voice brimming with fanaticism, "In my eyes, Lord Danzo is the greatest.
