Uchiha Shisui knelt on the ground.

Sitting in front of him was Danzo Shimura, the leader of the Root organization.

In addition, there were some members of the Root organization around.

"From today onwards, you are a member of the Dark Side, Shisui, and you will be directly under my command."

Danzo Shimura spoke indifferently.

He mentioned it briefly in his office earlier.

He plans to recruit both Uchiha Ryosuke and Uchiha Shisui, two rare geniuses, to join his Root organization.

Unexpectedly, he was provoked by Uchiha Ryosuke, and even lost face.

I originally thought that Uchiha Shisui would also fail to be recruited.

No one expected that this kid would actually come over on his own.

Moreover, Uchiha Shisui perfectly avoided all the guards surrounding the Root organization and made his way here to meet him.

Such talent is truly rare.

Therefore, even though Shimura Danzo still harbored suspicion and wariness towards Uchiha Shisui's act of offering himself up, he was still suspicious of him.

However, he still decisively allowed Uchiha Shisui to request to join the Root organization.

"Thank you, Danzo-sama."

Uchiha Shisui slowly stood up.

"Now answer me a question: why do you want to join the root organization?"

Danzo Shimura cut to the chase and began to probe...

Chapter 57 will have an extra update this afternoon, please give me flowers and votes!

Both sides knew what these words meant, and Uchiha Shisui responded fluently:

"Lord Danzo, I hope to use my knowledge to contribute more to the peaceful development of the village, and I want to protect the peace and stability of the entire Konoha."

"Aren't you lying?"

Shimura Danzo's indifferent geological questions.

"Absolutely not!"

"Stick out your tongue, and I'll know if you're lying."

Shimura Danzo's words made Uchiha Shisui pause for a moment, but he still did as he was told.

But just as he stuck his tongue out, he suddenly saw a blur of a figure in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, a stinging and burning sensation came from my tongue.

"Lord Danzo, you...?"

As if appearing in the blink of an eye, Shimura Danzo used the Body Flicker Technique to appear in front of Uchiha Shisui, then casually withdrew his left hand and put it behind his back.

"This is the mark of eradicating the root of trouble through the tongue."

"To prevent the secrets of the Roots from being revealed, all members must accept this seal."

Danzo Shimura explained calmly.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui fell silent for a moment, whether out of sheer speechlessness or because he was thinking about something else was unclear.

"Shisui."

Danzo Shimura's voice brought him back to his senses, and he quickly looked up at the other person.

"After that, did Uchiha Ryosuke say anything to you?"

Uchiha Shisui knew that the other party meant after leaving the Hokage's office.

He hesitated for a moment, and the warnings that Uchiha Ryosuke had given him before he left naturally came to mind.

After a while, Uchiha Shisui finally ignored the warnings and honestly replied, "On the way back to the village with us, Ryosuke predicted that the Third Hokage would pass the throne to Minato, and that he would decide to compete for the Hokage position."

"And he also said..."

"What else can you say?"

When Shimura Danzo heard the words "competing for the Hokage position," his eyes instantly lit up with a sharp light.

The sudden burst of power from Shimura Danzo made Uchiha Shisui feel a slight chill.

His intention in telling the truth was not to stir up trouble, escalate conflicts, or cause unnecessary trouble.

He simply wanted to express his loyalty to the village and the greater good in front of Danzo Shimura.

At the same time, he also wanted to use his enthusiasm to try his best to resolve the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village.

However, upon seeing Shimura Danzo's reaction at this moment, Uchiha Shisui couldn't help but re-examine his own actions.

He regretted telling the truth.

After hesitating for a long time, Uchiha Shisui continued, "Lord Danzo, Ryosuke's request is actually very simple. He just wants to give the Uchiha clan members an explanation."

"Because at that time, we all saw the difference between how the villagers treated other heroes and how they treated us..."

Uchiha Shisui first gave an explanation.

He tried to make Danzo Shimura understand all the efforts he had made.

However, Shimura Danzo remained indifferent, his face grim and silent.

This made Uchiha Shisui feel a pang of regret for his earlier actions.

He was still trying to salvage the situation and intended to continue explaining.

But Danzo Shimura was already getting impatient.

"You answer whatever I ask you. Ninjas must obey orders, especially ANBU ninjas. Have you forgotten the ninja code you learned?"

Faced with Danzo Shimura's questioning, Shisui Uchiha had no choice but to nod reluctantly: "Yes, Lord Danzo."

"Senior Ryosuke told me that if the village didn't agree to him becoming Hokage, he had a way to make everyone submit without bloodshed..."

Uchiha Shisui lowered his voice considerably.

But after hearing these words, Danzo Shimura's eyes still gleamed.

However, this time, surprisingly, Danzo Shimura did not lose his temper.

He asked coldly, "Anything else?"

"Nothing."

"From now on, I want you to closely monitor Uchiha Ryosuke, and even the Uchiha clan's every move. If there is any disturbance, you must report to me immediately!"

As Shimura Danzo spoke, he slowly took out a document from his pocket.

"Take this."

"This is a promise to you."

"Of course, as I've said before, you'll bear the consequences yourself. If the Third Hokage comes back and asks about this, you'll have to take responsibility for it yourselves!"

Uchiha Shisui stepped forward and respectfully accepted the documents handed to him.

It appears to be an administrative order promoting the Uchiha clan's achievements on the battlefield.

He quickly thanked them and turned to leave the Root organization's headquarters.

After he left, a slightly hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the shadows: "Hehe...々."

"It seems the old man didn't treat you as a candidate for the Fourth Hokage."

With a sinister sneer, a figure slowly emerged from the dark corner.

He was tall with flowing black hair.

Orochimaru, one of the "Legendary Sannin of Konoha," had just distinguished himself on the battlefield by single-handedly defeating the attacking force of Sunagakure with Konoha's troops.

At this moment, Orochimaru was really bringing up the very thing he didn't want to talk about.

Hiruzen Sarutobi took Minato Namikaze to the capital of the daimyo, which was tantamount to telling Danzo Shimura that he had no chance of becoming the Fourth Hokage.

This in itself made Danzo Shimura extremely frustrated.

This was also one of the triggers for his actions against the Uchiha clan.

However, at this moment, Shimura Danzo did not get angry at Orochimaru. Instead, he looked up at him and calmly said, "Of Sarutobi's three disciples, you are the one he values ​​the most."

"This trip to the capital of the Fire Country with Minato Namikaze might just be a negotiation with the daimyo of those four countries. As for the Fourth Hokage, I still favor you, Orochimaru."

Orochimaru already had his own judgment.

However, after hearing Shimura Danzo's analysis, he felt that it made some sense.

No matter how strong Minato Namikaze is, he is still just a junior. What does it matter if he is only in his early twenties?

At his age, he also shone brightly in the Second Shinobi World War, winning the title of "Legendary Sannin of Konoha" in battle against Hanzo the Salamander, the "demigod" of Amegakure.

In terms of strength, Minato Namikaze might not be as good as himself.

In terms of prestige and seniority, he was far inferior to himself.

Moreover, as Shimura Danzo said, he was the personal disciple of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and also Hiruzen Sarutobi's most beloved disciple.

With all these factors in mind, Orochimaru himself believed that his mentor, Hiruzen Sarutobi, had no reason to pass the position of Fourth Hokage to Minato Namikaze.

A sinister smirk played on his lips.

Orochimaru slowly said, "However, that brat named Uchiha Ryosuke seems rather interesting."

"Not only did he predict that the teacher would be forced to step down, but he also planned to personally vie for the Hokage position, heh..."

"I might as well go and meet him."

"He's very strong. Don't blame me for not warning you, Orochimaru, be careful not to get hurt."

Danzo Shimura's heart skipped a beat, but he deliberately provoked Orochimaru by saying this.

"hehe..."

Orochimaru offered no explanation and remained silent.

The figure slowly disappeared into the darkness, and soon vanished without a trace.

It was already evening when Uchiha Ryosuke left the Naka Shrine.

Under the bright moonlight, he walked home alone.

Suddenly the bushes by the roadside swayed.

"Still water?"

Uchiha Ryosuke stopped in his tracks, and sure enough, Uchiha Shisui appeared in front of him the next second.

"Senior Ryoyou."

"You didn't attend the meeting, where did you go?"

Uchiha Ryosuke turned around and looked into the other person's eyes.

The latter looked slightly embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Senior Ryoyou..."

"Ok?"

“I have joined Lord Danzo’s Root organization, and I have told him all your plans.”

Uchiha Shisui spoke the truth.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to stop turning.

The air cooled.

The atmosphere was so awkward that you felt like digging your toes out of the three-bedroom apartment.

Uchiha Ryosuke stared at Uchiha Shisui with a blank expression.

After a moment, he calmly said, "So, you're planning to be my enemy."

"No, Senior Ryoyou."
