This Naruto is a player

As expected, I wasn't the only one; the entire Root organization held unwavering loyalty to Lord Danzo.

"That's right, it must be Lord Danzo who's back!" he excitedly shouted in agreement.

"If Lord Danzo doesn't return, and someone else takes over Root, what if!"

A voice, timid and hesitant, rang out.

In an instant, countless pairs of eyes, each eager to devour its prey, turned and pierced the source of the sound.

Sai felt as if he was about to be torn to pieces by those gazes at any moment.

The older brother, Xin, reacted quickly, stepping forward and shielding his younger brother behind him, using his body to block the menacing gaze.

"Xin, you should discipline your younger brother properly!"

"Listen to the nonsense he's spouting! How could anyone else take over Root? There's only one sun in Root! And that's Lord Danzo!"

Shigaraki Tanuki's impassioned declaration immediately resonated with the entire audience.

The vast majority of them had flushed faces, fanatical eyes, and were raising their arms and shouting!

They were brainwashed and trained from childhood in Danzo's shadow, and that twisted loyalty has long been ingrained in their bones.

"That's right! There will always only be one leader of Root, and that is Lord Danzo!"

Ryoma Aburame watched coldly from the sidelines.

My gaze swept over the faces distorted by fanaticism, and my heart turned cold!

He knew that most of these people were kept in the dark, but he was too lazy to point it out.

He was equally curious about the truth behind today's mysterious gathering!

Suddenly, Ryoma Aburame's body stiffened.

Because the parasites that lived with him and were always active in his body suddenly and without warning fell into a state of death!

They were even trembling with fear.

They were filled with fear of the impending, irresistible presence.

This unprecedented anomaly instantly set off alarm bells for Aburame Ryoma.

He turned his head sharply, his sharp gaze like that of a hawk, locking onto the tightly closed door of the conference room!

squeak-

As the commotion inside the door subsided, the door behind them was slowly pushed open.

As if a mute button had been pressed, all sound in the conference room instantly disappeared.

Hundreds of eyes were focused on the doorway.

With an almost pious anticipation.

Is that Lord Danzo?!

However, to everyone's disappointment and even astonishment, the person who appeared at the door was a figure wearing an ANBU mask.

He stepped aside and respectfully gestured to guide the way: "Lord Naruto, this is the place."

Then, a blond boy in a black trench coat, with a warm, sunny smile on his face, calmly stepped into this space shrouded in fervor and darkness.

He said gently to the ANBU member, "Thank you for your hard work! When you get back, please give my regards to the Hokage! Tell him I received his 'gift'!"

Naruto old man -_-||

This overly casual form of address caused a bead of cold sweat to instantly trickle down the forehead of the ANBU member.

He glanced instinctively into the conference room, where he could clearly hear the passionate shouts of the Root members, even through the door.

Danzo

This group of people.

"Lord Naruto, should I stay behind to maintain order?" the Anbu asked in a low voice.

"unnecessary."

Naruto didn't even turn around, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable power: "Leave this to me."

"As ordered!"

Thinking of the terrifying strength of the person in front of them, which was enough to defy common sense, the doubts in the hearts of the secret agents disappeared instantly.

He exchanged a knowing glance with the few secret agents accompanying him, then turned and left decisively!

"It's actually this person!"

Aburame Ryoma suddenly came to his senses, his mind reeling.

This boy must be the source of the insects' fear.

He knows Naruto.

During the horrific "Konoha Collapse Plan," the vast majority of Root members were strictly confined to the base, with only a few scouts allowed to operate outside.

And he, Ryoma Aburame, with his unparalleled and powerful detection ability, is one of those very few "eyes"!

And it was precisely because of this that he was able to witness firsthand the hellish scene that he would never forget in his life—

This Naruto Uzumaki,

How could they overwhelmingly bombard the reanimated forms of the First and Second Hokage for nearly an hour with thousands of completely different yet terrifyingly powerful ninjutsu?

That scene that overturned the ninja world's understanding

The absolute power and unfathomable chakra contained within it took even a seasoned elite like him, who had seen it all before, three whole days to accept and digest that deep-seated fear!

powerful!

too strong!

He was already convinced at that time that the future of Konoha would be in this person's hands!

But he appeared at the root base today.

What is the purpose?

Is it

An incredible yet perfectly fitting thought suddenly popped into his mind!

"Who is this guy?"

A voice muttered in the crowd, expressing the confusion of most of the Root members.

"Never seen it before, don't know."

The person being asked shook their head blankly.

Although the Daily Ninja News covers every country in the ninja world, and although Naruto's reputation is legendary in the ninja world, the coverage is not 100%.

not to mention,

The Root members who gathered here were a group of eccentric, reclusive beings who lived outside the ordinary world!

They do not communicate with the outside world and are indifferent to information from the outside world.

It's perfectly normal not to recognize this renowned young man in front of you!

Amidst countless converging gazes, those eyes held a mixture of strangeness, curiosity, inquiry, and an undisguised, beast-like ferocity, as if scrutinizing someone who had intruded into their territory!

Naruto strolled leisurely, ignoring all the stares.

He walked steadily through the passageway parted by the crowd and headed towards the high seat in the room, a symbol of power and status!

Karin was also being stared at by so many people with beast-like gazes. Although she was only affected by them, she still felt a chilling coldness.

It felt as if I were being watched by countless hungry venomous snakes, my heart pounding wildly in my chest.

Looking at Naruto's calm and composed figure as usual, she just thought Naruto was so cool!

After staring blankly as Naruto walked away, she finally realized what was happening and quickly followed after him with her head down.

All eyes were fixed on the unfamiliar blond boy, filled with astonishment and uncertainty!

Most people are speculating about the purpose of this kid, who looks like he just graduated from the Ninja Academy and was respectfully led there by the Anbu, appearing here.

Could it be that he wants to join the Dark Side?

As Naruto's footsteps steadily stepped onto the stairs leading to the main seat,

Just as he was about to sit on the chair that symbolized Danzo's supreme authority...

"Hey! Where did this little brat come from?"

"You have no idea how big your own bed is! Do you think you're qualified to sit in that position?"

An uncontrollable voice suddenly erupted.

It allowed everyone to shout out the shock and anger that had been building up inside them.

"Exactly! Why did the Anbu send you here? Where exactly is Lord Danzo?"

Little brat?

Naruto paused slightly as he was about to sit down, a faint, ambiguous smile slowly curving his lips.

It was as if I had heard something extremely interesting.

Next second,

Amidst the astonished, sneered, or angry gazes of everyone, he nonchalantly turned around and sat directly in the seat that symbolized power!

He was so calm and composed, as if he were in his own living room!

"Get down here! This is not a place for you!"

"That seat isn't for a brat like you who's not even wet behind the ears!"

Seeing that blond boy, who looked no more than twelve years old, so casually plop down in Danzo's reserved seat, the Root members in the entire conference room seemed to have their most basic defensive instincts triggered.

It instantly caused an uproar!

Countless voices filled with anger and doubt swept in like a storm!

Several hot-tempered individuals, their eyes gleaming with malice and their chakra surging, were about to rush forward and tear this arrogant brat to shreds!
