The chat group owner is really busy.

But Minato Namikaze shook his head, he had seen the future.

There will be many strong people in the future.

The existence of roots now has little significance.

And even if the group leader made the guarantee, Minato Namikaze was still a little worried about Orochimaru. After all, he knew very well what Orochimaru's situation was, and Minato Namikaze really couldn't delegate power like this.

Jiang Nan was wandering around the roots at this time. Politics was the most troublesome thing, and he didn't care!

Let Minato Namikaze and Orochimaru play and discuss it among themselves.

Orochimaru thought for a moment and spoke.

"Then what do you want to do? We can't just ignore the Root. Otherwise, my power-hungry teacher will definitely take over the Root. And we have to react quickly. I suspect that the teacher may have discovered something is wrong."

Danzo is a good friend of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

One light and one dark.

The Fourth Hokage is not dead yet.

The cowardly things that the Third Hokage did have not happened yet.

The previous third generation was indeed a very outstanding Hokage.

As for Danzo's death, Sarutobi Hiruzen will definitely discover it, it is only a matter of time.

Orochimaru's current identity is actually quite sensitive.

He was the disciple of the Third Hokage, the most outstanding disciple. The Third Hokage invested too much effort in him and had too many expectations.

He even handed him over to his best friend, Danzo.

When Orochimaru defected, the Third Hokage could have captured him, but he let him go because he was soft-hearted.

You have to know that at that time, Danzo blamed all the bad things he had done on Orochimaru.

Just those bad things are enough for Orochimaru to shoot him 100 times.

It is also for this reason that if Orochimaru became the leader of the Root, the Third Hokage would not only not oppose it, but would support it instead.

Because this is his disciple, he, who is greedy for power, would inevitably think that Orochimaru would stand on his side.

Danzo is his good friend and he can be trusted.

Orochimaru is his most outstanding disciple and he can trust him.

This is politics.

Play against each other.

Minato Namikaze thought a lot.

He now had the Uchiha clan in his hands.

After taking control of the Root, the power-hungry Third Hokage would inevitably do something, and might even join forces with Konoha's high-ranking officials to put pressure on him. You have to know that all of Konoha's high-ranking officials are friends of Sarutobi Hiruzen from the same period.

If they put pressure together, even the Fourth Hokage would not be able to ignore their opinions.

Minato Namikaze made a decision quickly.

"Orochimaru, Danzo's affairs must be covered up. Later, I will help you become the new leader of the Root, but you can no longer do the things you did before. Those things will be buried with Danzo's death! Human experiments, Hashirama's cells, Sharingan research, you should understand what I mean! Orochimaru."

Orochimaru nodded. He saw a new path. Now he felt how stupid it was to study Hashirama's cells and restore the glory of the God of Ninja!

I don’t know how to look forward, I don’t know how to look into the future, I don’t know how to explore the unknown.

It is foolish to lock yourself in the glory of the past, unable to get out, and only study things that existed in the past.

Even if he had not seen the future, Orochimaru could predict that there must be a force in this world that is more powerful than the God of Ninja.

That is the unknown, that is a fascinating mystery.

Chapter 50, The Game Begins

Danzo is dead.

Somehow this matter reached the ears of the retired Third Hokage.

In the 48th year of Konoha, the Third Hokage was already in his fifties.

He survived World War I, World War II, and World War III.

Fifty years old is considered relatively old in the ninja world.

The Third Hokage was devastated when he learned of the death of his old friend Danzo.

Danzo can be considered his childhood sweetheart. They were both disciples of the Second Hokage and had cooperated with each other in various battles. Even if he became Hokage, he was willing to separate a special root from the Anbu and let Danzo master it. He didn't even ask what Danzo was doing.

And he did those bad things, and I turned a blind eye to it.

But such a good friend died.

But compared to the death of his friend, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was more worried about who would control the Root.

After experiencing the taste of power, it is a little too difficult to let go.

The third generation retired because there were more outstanding people among the younger generations.

Konoha White Fang, Golden Flash, Sannin….

The most popular Minato Namikaze is his own disciple.

He is old.

Konoha needs fresh blood injection and renewal to ensure its prosperity.

The facts prove that Sarutobi Hiruzen is indeed old.

After the death of the Fourth Hokage, he became the Hokage again, and since then he has done more and more despicable things.

The Kumogakure clan kidnapped the princess of the Hyuga clan, but ended up pushing the clan leader's brother out to die.

He kept suppressing the Uchiha clan, forcing them to rebel, but ended up killing all of their clansmen and creating the second pillar of the Avengers.

You should know that Konoha Village was jointly founded by the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan.

Up to now, both tribes have seen a decline in numbers.

On the contrary, other families are constantly growing, sucking the nutrients of these two big trees like vampires.

You have to know that before Konoha was established it was the Warring States Period.

In that era, the Uchiha clan and the Senju clan were the most powerful clans.

Although they often fight to the death, they still outperform other families.

Finally, in the 60th year of Konoha, which is when the story just begins, the Third Hokage died in the Konoha collapse plan.

At this time, the Third Hokage was nearly 70 years old.

70 years old!

You have to know that the current society stipulates that the retirement age is 60.

70 years old is really old, and some people at this age are already sick and lying in bed unable to move.

In the Konoha collapse plan.

The Third Hokage was 70 years old but still had the strength of a Kage and could fight against Orochimaru.

He sealed the first and second generation Hokage, and sealed Orochimaru's hands, which directly disabled Orochimaru.

……

……

root base.

Sarutobi Hiruzen came here with two Anbu who followed him.

But at this time there are already other people here.

Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, Fugaku Uchiha, and some high-ranking officials of Konoha.

Sarutobi Hiruzen: "What's going on! What happened?"

Mizuto Menyan's face didn't look very good.

"Danzo seems to have disappeared, and left a lot of bad things here."

Then, Mizuto Menen looked at Uchiha Fugaku who was standing aside.

Obviously this is not good, and it has something to do with the Uchiha clan.

"Fugaku, why are you here? The Root's affairs don't seem to be under the jurisdiction of the Guards."

Uchiha Fugaku's face was very cold.

"The guard corps is responsible for the safety of Konoha. A fierce battle has taken place here, and the location is within the territory of Konoha. I think our guard corps should be qualified to check it out! Former Hokage!"

This former Uchiha Fugaku's words were very strong, and it was obvious that there was other meaning behind his words.

The Third Hokage has retired. In theory, the Uchiha clan does not need to report to him when doing anything.

And now the Fourth Hokage, the current Hokage, has also come here.

Then there is no need to pay any attention to the former Third Hokage.

Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed. During his reign, he had madly suppressed the Uchiha clan, so naturally the Uchiha clan would not treat him well.

"Minato what happened!?"

The Third Hokage could only ask the most handsome man in the crowd.

He never dreamed that it was his good disciple who killed his good friend Danzo.

Minato Namikaze shook his head helplessly and started to act.

"Sandaimu, take a look for yourself! I only now know the condition of the roots."

That expression seemed as if he really knew nothing.

Orochimaru was cold, and there was no expression on his face.

Several high-ranking members of Konoha entered the Root.

That is the laboratory of the roots.

Blood, eyes, Hashirama's cells, the constantly wriggling culture tubes, and some human limbs.

Everyone here is not a fool and can clearly understand what this means.

This is Konoha's bottom line that cannot be crossed.

Looking at the Sharingans in those culture tanks, Uchiha Fugaku's face turned unusually dark.

"All the experiments here were done by the root leader Danzo. These materials are the evidence. All the materials here have Danzo's participation."

"Even if the Root Ninja can do things without the permission of the Hokage, what Danzo has done now has violated the laws of Konoha, and he has even turned his butcher knife on his companions. Third Hokage, do you know about this?"

The Fourth Hokage looked at the Third Hokage with questioning eyes.

The same is true for other senior executives.

Although they had heard that the Root was studying Hashirama's cells, they did not expect that they were also conducting human experiments and turning their butcher knives against their own companions.

This kind of thing is absolutely unforgivable, and he was caught red-handed by the Fourth Hokage.

At this time, can the Third Hokage admit that he deliberately pretended not to know?

"I'm sorry, I didn't know about Minato's incident, and I didn't expect Danzo to do such a cruel thing. I will give you an explanation for this matter. As for Danzo..."

When it’s time to sell out your friends, sell them out.

Minato Namikaze nodded, giving enough face to the Third Hokage.

"Danzo seems to be missing. I suspect he may be dead. There are traces of fighting at the Root base. Judging from the traces at the scene, it was wind escape, which should be Danzo's wind escape, and there is also wood escape..."

Everyone was shocked when Wood Release was mentioned.

But he didn’t say much.

Namikaze Minato continued.

"The man who fought against Danzo was at least stronger than Danzo. He knocked down all the Root ninjas in an instant, and then fought against Danzo from the Root, forcing Danzo to use Wood Release..."
