After the root was gathered by the Hokage group at that time, Namikaze Minato personally planted the seal of destruction on the root of his tongue!
Even if he knew the truth, he couldn't tell it to Sarutobi Hiruzen.
But what made him very helpless was that his child was in the hands of Sarutobi Hiruzen, forcing him to bite the bullet and pretend to be submissive to him.
Although he often claims to be an emotionless machine that exists only to complete tasks, all emotions are a burden...
However, when faced with the punishment of his own child's life and death, Shan Zhongfeng still felt unprecedented confusion and fear.
Roots are his home, his destination, and the meaning of his existence.
Once he loses this home, he will be like a fish out of water and can only wait quietly for the end of his life on land.
But compared to his only heir in this world, this mere "destination" seems so insignificant!
Therefore, Shan Zhongfeng, who had remained calm even in the face of death, tasted fear in his heart for the first time at this moment.
And this kind of fear will be deeply imprinted in his genes and accompany him through the long journey of life.
After all, after leaving Danzo.
He is still just a rat living in the dark. Once he loses the protection of Minato Namikaze, he will probably never find a place to stay in this world again.
Sarutobi Hiruzen will never forgive his deception!
"I understand, Third Generation-sama!"
Shan Zhongfeng suppressed his inner fear, bowed his head and promised that he would try his best to investigate the cause of Danzo's death.
He is the Root, Danzo's sibling, and a minion of darkness.
It was so before and it is so now.
It's just a different chess player to control me...
He is not himself and does not live for himself.
But children are his last "love"!
Thinking of this, Shan Zhongfeng's inner panic gradually subsided.
"Hmph! Back off." Hiruzen Sarutobi snorted and waved his hand. "Considering that you have appeared in my place, please don't contact me again in the past few days!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his head slightly, glanced at Shanfeng kneeling on the ground, and said these words coldly.
"Yes......"
Shanfeng stood up silently, like a machine running at full speed, and left the cell with great obedience.
After Yamafaze left, several figures emerged from the shadows of the room and came to stand behind Sarutobi Hiruzen.
As the last strength and right-hand man in his hands now, these former old subordinates are the people Sarutobi Hiruzen trusts the most.
Compared to the emotionless Root Ninja machines, they not only symbolize loyalty, but also possess impressive strength, and are superior to most of the eliminated Root members who turned to him.
......
Chapter 687 The So-called Bond
In a dark space.
A pair of cold eyes could be vaguely seen flashing, as if they were thinking about something.
"There is definitely something fishy about Danzo's death! Even if the thirteen-year-old Uchiha Itachi turns on the Mangekyō Sharingan, he may indeed have the strength to compete with Danzo, but there is absolutely no possibility of killing him!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely sure of this!
Danzo was a genius ninja who once competed with him for the position of the Third Hokage! At the same time, as an old friend for half his life, it can be said that Sarutobi Hiruzen understands his changes in strength very well!
Even without talking about the Vacuum Wind Release Ninjutsu that even he was very afraid of, the Wood Release Restart Plan that was implemented with his secret permission was led by Danzo alone, and after it achieved some results, he transplanted Hashirama's cells into himself.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had an insider in the Root, knew this clearly!
Shimura Danzo, whose body has been rejuvenated, is definitely not much weaker than him!
But he was killed by a thirteen-year-old Uchiha!
Does Sarutobi Hiruzen think this is unreasonable anyway?
"How is the progress of the mission you sent secretly?"
Thinking of what he was upset about, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly raised his head and asked.
"We are sending people to search carefully. After our unremitting efforts, we have finally gained something. In addition, in the process, we also accidentally discovered the peripheral members of the Akatsuki organization and successfully eliminated many of the Akatsuki's minions."
A person behind him bent down and answered respectfully.
A fierce look flashed in Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.
"I'm talking about Uchiha Itachi!"
The ninja who just spoke was shaken and quickly added.
"Ever since he rebelled against the village, his whereabouts have become confusing... What you said... clarifying the root cause of the death of Advisor Danzo, but we have no way to lock down the other party's whereabouts... ..”
At the end of his speech, his voice even began to tremble.
No one understands better than these close friends how deep the bond between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo is!
And Uchiha Itachi's loyalty to Konoha has aroused this person's suspicion.
This kind of spy whose loyalty is questionable is actually the person involved in the death of Danzo!
This was the most unbearable thing for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Itachi Uchiha is now wavering in his stance. Is his betrayal arranged by Minato Namikaze or his own behavior? Everything is possible...
And Sarutobi Hiruzen just couldn't tolerate the existence of this kind of uncertainty.
Uncertainty is a potential threat and must be eliminated.
It can be considered as revenge for his old friend!
"Then find an opportunity to eliminate it completely." He said coldly.
"clear."
The ninja behind him couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Uchiha Itachi is undoubtedly an unparalleled genius, and it would be a pity if he were to be abandoned so easily.
But unfortunately, such ninjas could not be controlled by the third generation, and even became the opposite side!
The key is......
Sarutobi Hiruzen issued an order to kill Uchiha Itachi, but they had no confidence in doing it...
That was a thirteen-year-old S-class rebellious ninja!
......
However, they must strictly obey Hiruzen Sarutobi's orders, which is the most helpless part.
"In this case, if we want to understand the dynamics of the Akatsuki organization in the future, we can only rely on our own investigation."
"It doesn't matter. Of course, the fourth generation has to worry about this kind of thing and doesn't care about our affairs!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen waved his hand coldly. Now, the only goal he wanted to achieve was not the so-called struggle for power. It would be best if he could help Tsunade become the fifth Hokage, but now it seemed there was no hope.
Therefore, the only thing he wants to do now is to investigate the truth behind Danzo's death!
"In addition, we can only temporarily stop the investigation of Yamanaka Feng. After all, we still don't have enough manpower to deal with Uchiha Itachi..."
Another person behind him added.
Several others also looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with some confusion.
Although from their point of view, Yamanaka Fuu, the current captain of the fourth generation's direct dark department, does not seem to have any obvious problems, but according to their investigation results, this deputy leader of the Root who defected to the enemy seems to be hiding some unknown secrets.
However, Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't seem to take immediate action to deal with it.
"According to our intelligence, all the people that Danzo brought with him died except him..."
"That means he must know something!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were cold, but he seemed to have other ideas. "Actually, the truth doesn't matter anymore. I want to kill Itachi Uchiha and oust the Fourth Generation, and I can do it without any evidence! But in his current position, Yamafaze is a good candidate for a spy, isn't he?"
"???"
"That's what you meant!?"
The people behind him looked surprised.
It turns out that Sarutobi Hiruzen's anger before was just to hit Yamanaka Feng!
"Hmm..." Nodding slowly, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face also revealed a hint of sneer.
The dark room fell into silence.
"Sir, are you referring to that Yamanaka Feng, the high-ranking spy you planted in the Anbu, next to the Fourth Generation..."
According to the records in the confidential room, in the early years, in order to control the development of the roots, the Sandaime secretly trained a group of spies and asked them to infiltrate the roots, collect intelligence, and monitor trends to curb the growth of the roots.
"That depends on... whether he has this awareness!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen smiled coldly, and his laughter was chilling!
......
Chapter 688: First Appearance
In the forest, a violent explosion suddenly erupted.
What follows is the brilliance of different colors formed by ninjutsu with different attributes, blooming in the air.
The fighting party was composed of Konoha ninjas, all dressed in uniform combat gear, most of them holding extremely sharp samurai swords in their hands.
The other side looked extremely weird, but it was an endless sea of black insects covering the sky above the forest!
In just an instant, countless flying flies rushed straight to the Konoha ninjas below like lightning.
The continuous explosion sound came from here.
However, this was only an area attack, and when they came into contact with Konoha's tight defense formation of dozens of ninjas.
