Sakumo didn't pay attention to what Tetsuya said. Instead, his eyes fell on those Ninja who were killed by Tetsuya.
"These are! Root of Konoha! Why did Ninja of Root come to assassinate you!"
"Hey, why else could it be? It's just for money."
Tetsuya raised his eyebrows and looked at Hatake Sakumo with interest.
"That's nothing. What I'm more curious about is that you know Root."
"I know that in name Hokage is a training institution directly affiliated to ANBU, but in fact it is the darkest root of Konoha and specializes in doing some shameful things.
After my brother died, people from Root approached me, hoping to recruit me to join Root, but Lord Hokage stopped me in time."
"Then what happened later, Danzo is not a person who gives up easily."
"Later."
Hatake Sakumo's eyes became a little weird.
"Later Danzo asked me to go to Sunagakure to cut off Sunagakure's supplies and disrupt their rear."
"Ah? Didn't you ask for it?"
"This, how should I put it, I proposed it on my own initiative, but the situation at that time was a bit special."
Tetsuya and the coachman became interested and sat down directly on the ground.
"What kind of special law is it? Let's talk about it carefully, expand it, and explain the causes and consequences."
At this time, Tetsuya felt it was a pity that all the fruits in Carriage had been blown away, otherwise he would have been a real melon-eater for once.
Sakumo Seeing that Tetsuya was so curious, he did not hide anything and told what happened at that time.
"At that time, I was taken to Root's base by people from Root. Danzo began to describe my brother's death to me, and started to exaggerate hatred and darkness, saying that I was a person who had been burdened with hatred and darkness in the past, and that I should join Root and contribute to Konoha with my own darkness.
At that time, my brother's sacrifice really hit me hard, and I was almost convinced by him.
But at this time Lord Hokage appeared. He knew that I was taken to Root and rushed over immediately, preventing Danzo from absorbing me into Root.
Later, Danzo and Lord Hokage entered a room, and I stood outside the door and heard them having a fierce quarrel.
When they came out again, Danzo told me that since I couldn't join Root, I should go to the front line to contribute to Konoha and kill the people who killed my brother.
He suggested that I go to the rear of Sunagakure, but at that time I was blinded by hatred, so I immediately agreed.
Lord Hokage even tried to persuade me, but at that time I couldn't listen to anything."
"Wonderful!"
Tetsuya applauded, this is indeed something Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi can do.
One person is a good person and the other person is a bad person, and the person who is being bluffed is stunned for a while.
At the end of the day, when things are done, people still have to remember the goodness of Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"By the way, who is the current head of your Hatake Clan family?"
"After my brother died, the position of the head of the family fell on me. What happened?"
Tetsuya nodded, then smiled.
"Nothing, I'm just curious. If you were sacrificed in Sunagakure's rear, who would take care of your Hatake Clan property? You know, Konoha is very short of money. I also donated a lot of money in exchange for a guard like you. You have to protect me well."
"Me!..."
Hatake Sakumo is not a fool. Tetsuya has said it to this extent. It is impossible for him not to know what Tetsuya is talking about.
"I'm afraid, they didn't expect you to be so fierce, or they didn't expect Sunagakure to be so good that you came back alive.
You also used this battle to become Konoha's great hero. That's really awesome.
By the way, can you answer me a question?"
"What's the problem?"
"Have you had any ideas about the location Hokage?"
"Hokage Position, of course I..."
Suddenly Hatake Sakumo stopped talking. He lowered his head with a somewhat uncomfortable expression.
"Okay, okay, don't think too much, let's continue on our way."
Seeing Hatake Sakumo's reaction, Tetsuya knew it was time to call it a day. Sometimes, it's best to leave room for him to ferment by himself. If he spoke too slowly, it would be bad.
"Carriage is gone. It will be inconvenient to travel on the road next, but we are not far from the next town. Let's buy some horses in the town then."
As he spoke, Tetsuya turned around and looked at the corpses of Root Ninja that he had gathered together.
"I am a kind-hearted person. After all, I used to be a member of Konoha. I will send you to your grave."
"Fire Release·Majestic Destroyer Flame!"
"Earth Release, Swamp of the Underworld."
The gathered corpses were burned to ashes by Tetsuya, and the ashes were swallowed by Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld and sank into the ground.
Konoha, Root.
Danzo is a little impatient to wait. Three days have passed and no one has come back yet. Could it be said that it has failed?
Is that Hatake Sakumo so powerful?
In order to find out what was going on, he specially sent another team to investigate the news.
Finally, when he was about to send another team out, someone finally came back.
"Master Danzo! Something bad has happened. All the people Assassination Chiba Tetsuya sent out are dead."
"What! They are all dead! How is this possible! They are all our Root elites Ninja!"
"Sir Danzo, my subordinates did not lie. All Ninja who were sent out died. They were burned to pieces by Fire Release and sank into the ground.
My subordinates only brought back some of their remains."
As he said this, Root Ninja took out a roll of Sealing Scroll and unfolded it directly. Some incompletely burned remains appeared on the ground.
All I can say is that he is worthy of being the Fire Release of the Hokage world. It doesn't matter if he can't kill people, he can't even burn a corpse cleanly.
"Damn it! Can any useful information be extracted from these wreckage?"
"I'm sorry, Lord Danzo. Apart from being able to confirm that these are our Root's Ninja, we can no longer get any useful information. Their brains have been burned by Fire Release, and Yamanaka Clan's Secret Technique cannot be used."
"You have done things so cleanly. Is there any secret that you don't want us to discover?"
Shimura Danzō clenched his fists.
"Chiba Tetsuya, Hatake Sakumo, the matter is not over yet, just wait for me!"
The loss of such an elite team is nothing to his Root, it is just some Ninja. They all sacrificed for Konoha, and they will just recruit some more people for Konoha when the time comes.
But if Hiruzen Sarutobi knew about this, he would definitely have a big fight with himself.
But that's all. Considering the past friendship and the fact that Hokage really needs a pair of white gloves, after a big fight, he will definitely allow himself to replenish his manpower.
"Well, maybe I should recruit more people this time."
Just as he was thinking about candidates for Root expansion, a Root Ninja walked in quickly.
"Sir Danzo, there is a problem with Orochimaru's research over there."
"What?"
