I rely on myself

Chapter 706: Invasion of the Roots
"Boom————!!!"

In the dark and silent underground space, the sound of the cane hitting the ground was louder and even harsh.

"What on earth is going on! Five teams! There is no information about the attackers, and all of them were taken down instantly. If they hadn't spoken before attacking, we wouldn't even know if they were men or women. What on earth is going on with them!!!"

The anger in his heart continued to rise, and even Danzo himself could not remember the last time he was so angry, but it didn't matter. The most important thing now was that the Root that he founded and trained was repeatedly defeated by a ninja from a small country, and he couldn't even see the opponent's appearance clearly.

This undoubtedly showed that all his efforts over the years were in vain and useless, which made him unable to calm down his inner anger.

"what………"

"Boom————!!!"

There was another sound of a cane hitting the ground, but this time Danzo did not continue to say any words of scolding, because he knew it was useless.

No matter what, this is the fact now. No matter how angry you are, it will not help. Instead, it will be better to discuss a solution as soon as possible. So the captain quickly suppressed his inner anger. Just looking at this point, there is no doubt that Danzo still has talent as a leader.

"…Apart from that, is there really no other information? Smell, size, or anything else. As a Root ninja, even if you were defeated, you should have been able to obtain some other information."

After hearing their leader's words, the other Root ninjas present immediately began to recall whether there were any other letters that they had missed during the surveillance process.

However, after all the hard work, the final result was nothing, there was no useful information at all.

After hearing this, Danzo completely gave up, knowing that there would be no useful information.

Although he was very angry, as the one who created and trained the Root Ninja, Danzo was very aware of the strength of his subordinates and they should not be underestimated. But even so, and despite being on guard, he was still knocked out one by one by the other side and did not even gain any intelligence.

In that case, no matter how bizarre it is, there is only one explanation, that is, the opponent's strength far exceeds that of his subordinates, and he even has unique skills in lurking or hiding, or a unique secret technique, or even a new bloodline limit, otherwise all this cannot be explained.

Thinking of this, Danzo also realized that with his subordinates, there might be no way to complete the plan.

"There's no other way. It looks like we have to change our plans."

Since the original plan was no longer likely to succeed, Danzo wouldn't be too persistent and would simply change it.

"Since we can't lure them, then we should just try to probe them directly. We must get information about the Snow Country. After all, the remaining Uchiha clan may be there. It is worth paying a small price for this."

The reason why Danzo is so obsessed with the Snow Country team is also related to the Uchiha clan.

Because his teacher, the Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, once said that the Uchiha clan was an evil clan. No matter what mentality Senju Tobirama had when he said this, Danzo believed it.

In the past few decades, the Uchiha clan has been targeted almost all the time, and even the night of genocide was possible due to his contribution.

Because of this, since someone from the Uchiha clan escaped on the night of the genocide, Danzo had always been concerned about this matter, and was always worried about when those evil Uchiha clan would come back to take revenge on Konoha.

Now that he had learned from the Snow Country team that was participating in the Chunin Exam that there was an Uchiha member, he would not give up so easily. When the Snow Country team first entered the Fire Country and was reported by the border, he had suggested that they should be captured and interrogated, but the Third Hokage rejected the proposal, saying that it would damage Konoha's reputation.

"As expected, you have become weak, Hiruzen. Compared to an insignificant reputation, it is more important to eliminate all factors that are harmful to Konoha."

The more he talked, the more Danzo felt that his idea was correct, and he immediately decided to send a team to launch a direct attack on the Snow Country.

The best scenario would of course be to capture all the troops from the Snow Country in order to obtain intelligence from there. Even if that doesn't work, we can still use it to find out some intelligence.

As for the possibility of facing accountability from the Snow Country afterwards, all you have to do is simply deny it. As long as there is no relevant evidence, the other party will at most be able to say a few words.

After all, it's just a small border country. If it's really too annoying, Danzo wouldn't mind sending a special team to destroy it.

"Let me see if the team currently on standby in the village is suitable for the mission."

As he spoke, Danzo pulled out a scroll from the bookshelf beside him, which recorded the various Root teams currently on standby in the village.

After Danzo opened it, he began to select and arrange the team, and the whole scene was seen clearly by a figure in the dark.

He sighed. If possible, he actually hoped that Danzo would give up further testing. For this reason, he did not kill those Root members who were monitoring him in order to avoid intensifying the conflict, but the result was contrary to his wishes.

Not only did Danzo show no intention of restraining himself, but he became even more radical. He had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​avoiding conflict.

"What a shame! If I could help it, I wouldn't want to be so aggressive. What a shame."

"who!"

"There's an intruder! Perception ninja, find him quickly!!"

“Hurry up and protect Master Danzo!!”

A voice filled with emotion suddenly sounded, and this voice instantly stimulated all the Root ninjas around. After all, no one had expected that someone could invade their base.

The originally dark and silent underground space suddenly became lively, but Danzo was not at all panicked, but his expression still looked a little unhappy.

"Since we have been invaded here, what are the guards and barrier team doing?!"

Danzo's reprimand received no response, as neither the guards nor the barrier squad knew how to explain it. As they continued to try, they just couldn't find the intruder. But the words just now were extremely clear and everyone present heard them, so it couldn't be an illusion.

There is only one possibility left, that is, the other party's skills or techniques in hiding themselves are very advanced, and they are simply unable to find the other party with their own abilities.
