In a remote alley, a door suddenly opened on the mottled wall of the alley. WwWCOM
The area of the door is not large, but it is deep and dark, and the endless corridor seems to be invisible to the end. Four Root ninjas turned into this corridor one after another. When the gate on the wall was closed, the alley immediately changed to its original appearance. It was difficult for ordinary people to notice the abnormality.
The four Root ninjas kept crawling towards the ground. It didn't take long for the space to become larger, and they came to the stairs, which continued to extend downward...
The breeze slightly rolled up his black hair, and Sato Hideaka squatted on the roof. When he opened his eyes again, the four people with blue current under the ground clearly appeared in his mind, and their path was also understood by Sato Hideaka.
Landing gently on the ground in the alley, Sato Hideaka put his hands on his chest to complete Hand Seals.
The body seemed to sink into the water, slowly sinking into the ground.
The underground passages are extremely complex, densely covered in the ground like spider webs. The passages surround this large passage, and the large passages connect these passages. The internal structure is extremely complicated and intricate, like a huge underground maze.
If Electric Net Technique hadn't already used thunder and lightning to lock the movement paths of these four people like radar, Sato Hideaka would definitely have lost its way in this complicated dark passage!
Following this group of Root ninjas, they marched through the passage for fifteen minutes...
During these fifteen minutes, Root members kept changing the direction of the passage, changing direction once every half a minute on average. Each change of direction was without warning or trace. It was obvious that the internal structure was very complex and rigorous.
Finally, after fifteen minutes, he sensed a large number of human micro-current waves in front of him. This made Sato Hideaka more and more restrained the fluctuations of chakra, and cautiously came to the end of a passage, and secretly poked his head over to observe:
This space is extremely wide. It is an underground hall. In the containers, water pipe passages, in front of the stairs, and in the center of the hall, dozens of ninjas are scattered and isolated...
Their temperament is extremely cold, and most people's eyes seem to be as numb as there is no fluctuation. Their clothing is also very similar to the members of Anbu. The standard equipment is a windbreaker, ninja vest, ninja dagger and ninja bag.
The only difference is the style of the mask. Anbu is an animal face mask, while theirs is a ghost face mask.
This place is obviously the base of "Root", and they are gathering for a meeting!
Five minutes later, there were crowds of people at the end of the dark hall, and one of them sat on the only chair at the main table. His expression was cold, his eyes were sinister, there was a cross scar on his chin, and his right arm was covered with a bandage.
Dozens of Root ninjas located in various positions in the hall moved quickly after seeing this person sitting in the main seat, and quickly and orderly assembled in the middle of the hall, forming eight horizontal team formations, which was extremely orderly.
"Number 9, please report on the status of this mission..."
The cold and ruthless voice echoed in the empty hall, like an uncrowned emperor controlling the fate of everyone here and controlling the power of life and death underground!
A ninja from the team immediately came to the main seat, half-knelt on the ground, bowed his head and said respectfully, "Leader, all areas within Konoha have fully covered the information about the failure of Anbu, with special emphasis on Anbu Minister Hatake Sakumo's defeat, now Konoha civilian ninjas, Hyuga Clan, Uchiha Clan are extremely dissatisfied with this... And the advisory group's views on this matter are not clear now!"
"Anbu's minister White Fang Hatake Sakumo, suppression is not just my "root", these so-called wealthy families, Uchiha, Hyuga... Of course they are not willing to face a strong minister Anbu, of course they want him to lose his power... Huh! However, I will personally obey the advisory group's decision on this matter..."
Putting his hands under his chin, Shimura Danzō had a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, and said slightly with a smile, "This time Anbu Minister Hatake Sakumo has lost important information. The importance of the information even involves Konoha as a whole Western Defense Line... It can be the biggest failure in Anbu's history!"
"Such important information will be lost. The so-called Hokage is directly subordinate to Anbu, and the so-called minister Anbu is not worthy of receiving such an important task. Only our "root" can effectively and perfectly complete such an important task. "Root" needs a larger scope of task authority..."
"..."
Sure enough, this is a conspiracy, Danzo has a big plan!
Hearing Shimura Danzō's words, Sato Hideaka's eyes were slightly cold. The existence of White Fang Hatake Sakumo not only deters the enemy, but also eclipses the internal forces. The reputation suppresses the powerful Sannin, suppresses the entire Konoha family, and suppresses the powerful "root"...
Konoha Anbu Minister Hatake Sakumo, the first person below Sarutobi Hiruzen, single-handedly balances the situation within the entire Konoha!
This time, Hatake Sakumo has fallen into the largest internal crisis in history!
The purpose of Danzo is very obvious. The first is to get Hatake Sakumo to step down and weaken the momentum and influence of Anbu in Japan and China. The second is to use this matter to gain support from all parties and obtain a larger scope of mission authority.
As a unit directly under Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, Anbu has a very wide scope of mission authority, covering almost all of Konoha's armed military missions, while the scope of authority of the "root" under Shimura Danzō is only simple espionage missions, as well as shady assassination missions.
The scope of authority of a task often reflects the power of the department. The greater the authority, the greater the power. The greater the authority, the greater the power...
Kill two birds with one stone, suppress Anbu and gain rights. This is exactly the purpose of Danzo!
If Danzo succeeds in this matter, I'm afraid it will be a major blow to the entire Anbu and Hokage series. Thinking of this, Sato Hideaka's breathing quickened slightly, but he instantly suppressed his rapid breathing as he sensed that something was wrong.
Shimura Danzō, who was sitting in the main seat, looked hard at the direction of Sato Hideaka, and finally said in a low and murderous voice, "Who is it? Who is hiding there? Number 9, catch him..."
However, at the moment when Shimura Danzō sounded, Sato Hideaka felt a burst of hot breath approaching from behind. The entire dark passage instantly turned fiery red, and the shadows of rolling red flames kept jumping on the wall, dyeing it red...
Green flames suddenly rose from the body, and the ground cracked like spider webs under the huge force!
Before being swallowed by the rolling flames, Sato Hideaka's body instantly jumped out, leaving the area covered by the flames. He jumped out of the long corridor and arrived at the hall where Root members gathered more than ten meters below.
"Sato Hideaka, how dare you break into Root's base? Didn't your superiors tell you that breaking into the root without my order is a crime of espionage for the enemy? And the crime of espionage for the enemy is a capital crime...!"
Seeing the figure forced out of the corridor by Fire Release Ninjutsu, Shimura Danzō sat on the main seat, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a cold tone.
"The crime of enemy espionage, I dare not admit such a big crime. I just met a few enemy spies who were spreading rumors around Konoha with the intention of subverting Anbu, so I came to the base of the "root" department. Now I want to ask you, how come there are spies of the enemy country among the "roots" of Mr. Danzo...?"
Faced with Shimura Danzō's intimidation, Sato Hideaka patted his clothes that were wrinkled due to avoiding Fire Style, and asked in a competitive tone. Facing the Root ninja who was trying to surround him, he didn't seem to care at all.
"Oh, even if you are a talent, you are just a ghost after all. Your thoughts are too real. Do you think that by joining the third generation of Anbu, you can keep yourself safe?" Danzo's narrow eyes flashed coldly, and his right index finger gently tapped the armrest of the wooden chair, mocking in a very disdainful tone:
"Ghost, one thing you must know is that Hokage cannot control the root. The moment you enter the root, whether you are an enemy spy or not is not something you, the ghost, can decide!"
As soon as Danzo's murderous words fell, dozens of Root ninja figures moved quickly, passing through black phantoms in the hall. In an instant, Sato Hideaka was surrounded by them, and the atmosphere was tense and tense...
Chunin, elite Chunin, jonin... even elite jounin! (To be continued.
