Konoha: Opening Binding Namikaze Minato

"What's the matter?"

"Why did the news spread in the village all of a sudden? Even the previous events were revealed!"

"Who did it? Who is helping the Namikaze Flame Clan?"

In the Hokage's office, Konoha's "Big Three" gathered here as always.

The person who just kept asking questions was none other than Xiaochun.

Suddenly, Koharu changed the topic when he went to bed, and even the topic came to Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said: "Sarutobi, you couldn't have done this, right? Have you changed your mind?"

After going to bed, Koharu stared at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a suspicious look on his face, and Mito Katoen also looked over.

The two of them thought, we are helping you, are you going to backstab us?

"Cough cough cough..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was stunned, and the smoke he inhaled into his lungs suddenly stopped breathing. How could he have expected that Koharu would suddenly say this when he went to bed? He was still thinking about it.

Faced with the doubts of his two old friends, Sarutobi Hiruzen shook his head decisively, "I didn't do this, and I was just curious about who it was."

After turning to bed, Xiaochun looked at him suspiciously, "What did the ANBU say? There are no clues at all?"

The incarnation of Mito Katomo on the side was watching the party, silently watching Sarutobi Hiruzen without interrupting.

But even without saying anything, Mito Monohan's eyes made his position clear.

But the next answer from Sarutobi Hiruzen made the two of them very dissatisfied. They saw Sarutobi Hiruzen gently pouring out the tobacco from the cigarette rod, then stuffing new tobacco into it, lighting it and taking a deep breath.

Then he spoke:

"I won't get involved in this matter, just like I won't get involved in your actions against the Namikaze Flame Sect. What you do has nothing to do with me. I don't know anything, so don't ask me."

What a great guy, he shied away all the responsibilities in just one sentence. He is truly an elder statesman.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's words and his attitude instantly made Koharu and Mitomon enraged.

Damn it! It’s your uncle! Now you say it has nothing to do with you and you don’t know anything. Why haven’t I seen you say that before?

You obviously acquiesced, but now you put all the responsibility on us, right?

unacceptable!

Do you think we are Danzo’s scapegoat? No way!

After turning to bed, Koharu said with a dark face, "Sarutobi, don't you think what you said is a bit excessive?"

"Your words chilled our hearts..." Mito Menyan said heartbrokenly.

Sarutobi Hiruzen blushed. He also felt embarrassed. Others were charging for him, but he stabbed him in the back. It was a bit unethical.

So his attitude softened a lot, and he said helplessly: "You should understand me, I am Hokage, there are some things you can do, but I can't. Just like this matter now, it's really not convenient for me to intervene.

.”

"Ahem, of course. If you still don't want to give up, Danzo and you should have more topics to talk about. Maybe you can go find him."

I've already reminded you here, don't you still understand?

Go to bed Koharu, Mito Menyan: "..."

Mom sells batches, dog Sarutobi, how many thoughts do you have?

From our point of view, the reason why the second-generation master chose you to become the third-generation Hokage was not because you were the first to volunteer, but because of your own mind!

After going to bed, Koharu and Mito Monoyan complained bitterly in their hearts.

Afterwards, they were no longer in the mood to continue chatting with Sarutobi Hiruzen, and all set off for the root headquarters.

······

Here, after completing the task of persuading Hanzo to send troops, Danzo finally returned to Konoha.

Since his performance this time made Sarutobi Hiruzen very satisfied, and since it was a war period and there was an urgent need for people, especially ninjas like Nebe who would do whatever it took to achieve the mission, Sarutobi Hiruzen approved and let Nebe return.

Expand some manpower.

At this time, Danzo was busy with this matter.

But Danzo's current mood is not very beautiful, and the reason lies with the major ninja clans.

Because the Roots are notorious in the eyes of many Konoha ninjas, even if Sarutobi Hiruzen allowed him to expand, there were still very few ninjas who volunteered to join the Roots, forcing him to choose among civilian ninjas.

choose.

But are civilian ninjas a bunch of crooks? What he needs at his core are elites and geniuses, not a bunch of cannon fodder!

The most annoying thing is that yesterday, a watermelon head in green tights came to sign up. In order to join the root, he recommended himself and begged hard. As a result, Danzo pulled up his information and saw that his current level was genin!

Looking further down, the results... oh no, mission experience - a total of 66 D-level missions, with a completion rate of 96%. At first glance, it seems good, the completion rate is very high, but then it becomes a bit eye-catching.

0 C-level missions, 0 B-level missions, 0 A-level missions, 0 S-level missions...

After seeing a bunch of "0"s in the information, Danzo was filled with questions. Someone who had never performed a C-level mission wanted to join the Roots? He thought that the Roots were responsible for finding those cats and dogs every day and cleaning up the garbage.

Is combing the river a boring task?

Not accepted!

Definitely not accepting it!

At that moment, Danzo, who was already in a bad mood, got even worse. He directly asked his men to drive the "watermelon man" out.

snort!

Wearing such fancy clothes and trying to become a root member, I’m really afraid that others won’t recognize me!

If he remembered correctly, this was the first time he had seen a watermelon head and green tights like this. I guess the whole of Konoha probably had this, right?

"Alas! All the cats and dogs have come to sign up! Do you think we are basically a garbage recycling station!?"

Danzo was very angry. Those ninjas didn't give him face, and civilian ninjas didn't have many geniuses. Didn't this force him to cultivate them himself?

The Uchiha, Hinata, Inokacho and other families flashed through Danzo's mind one by one. Finally, he snorted: "Humph! Sooner or later, you will have something good to look at. Just wait for me!"

"When I become Hokage..."

······

Time returns to the present.

After sleeping in the dormitory, Koharu and Mito Kadenen left the Hokage Building and walked towards the Root Headquarters calmly.

The two of them were obviously less than fifty, but they walked like an old man or woman in their sixties or seventies, walking slowly and slowly, not much faster than a snail.

They communicated while walking.

"Humph! Sarutobi really disappointed me this time!" Koharu expressed his attitude to Mito Kadobu as he moved to bed, with dissatisfaction written all over his face.

Mito Kadoyan squinted his eyes and said with a sneer: "Is this the first day you met him? This is not the first time something like this has happened. It's just that Danzo was the one who took the blame for him in the past, but now it's the two of us.

That’s all.”

Mito Kamon continued: "Speaking of which, this time it is really our problem. We should never speak before he opens his mouth. Now it seems that we are the only ones targeting Namikaze Kamon, but he has always

The deputy didn't care about him, he obviously wanted to suppress the Namikaze Enmen, but in the end he asked us to rush ahead."

"I have thought about the rest of the matter for him. If the Namikaze Enmen breaks out, Sarutobi will most likely push us out, and then he will come out to make a fool of himself, appeasing the Namikaze Enmen while 'punishing' us both.

, in the end the big things turned into small things, and the small things turned into small things.”

A sarcastic expression appeared on Mito Kadobu's face, and he sneered again and again, "Haha, what a good plan. He deserves to be the Hokage for so many years."

Koharu's idea of ​​moving to bed is basically the same as that of Mito Monoyan. She also guessed the same, so she is so angry now.

She took over Mito Kamon's words, "He is sure that we will target Namikaze Kamon for the power in our hands, that's why he is so confident, and now he is planning to let us take Danzo with us."

"Haha..." Koharu also sneered when he went to bed, "It seems that he had known for a long time that there was a conflict between Danzo and the Namikaze Enmen, so he asked us to go find Danzo, which was in line with Danzo's wishes and at the same time...

His will.”

"If Teacher Tobirama was alive and saw that the disciple he had placed great hope in in the past had such great political skills, I wonder how he would feel. Would he be particularly disappointed?"

As he said that, Xiaochun turned to bed and the appearance of Qianju Tobiran appeared in his mind.

On the side, Mito Monoyan did not answer, silently lowered his head and looked at his feet.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's political skills are indeed excellent, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is extremely proficient, but... they are not bad at all.

Even if Senju Tobirama is really disappointed, he is definitely not just disappointed with Hiruzen Sarutobi. He, Koharu, and Danzo are all basically one and the same. That is to say, Kagami Uchiha who died young

Qiudao Qifeng, who has been doing nothing for many years, is better off.

In the end, the two of them looked at each other, shook their heads, and stopped talking all the way to the root headquarters.

······

The root headquarters is located behind Konoha, close to the back mountain.

At the same time, it does not stand on the ground like other buildings, but is deeply rooted in the ground like the "root concept" proposed by Danzo.

This is an underground building, which has almost hollowed out the ground and is tens of meters deep underground. The outside of the headquarters is shrouded in a barrier, making it impossible for ordinary people to get here.

Even if you arrive, you must report it honestly, otherwise the root ninjas will capture the intruder. No matter who you are, they will only obey Danzo's orders.

Of course, on the surface everyone in the Roots, including Danzo, listens to the Hokage, and they will only reveal their true nature when they come into contact with the interests of the Roots, that is, Danzo's interests.

After a while, Koharu and Mito Kaden finally arrived outside the root headquarters. They were about to pass through the barrier, but Danzo had already changed the original barrier and they couldn't enter at all.

In addition, there were several root ninjas blocking the two of them.

When she went to bed, Koharu frowned. She had just suffered a defeat at Sarutobi Hiruzen's place. Her mood at the moment was getting worse and worse. She looked at the root ninja blocking her and couldn't help shouting loudly:

"Get out of the way! Don't you know who we are? How dare you block our way! Open the barrier quickly and let us in!"

The root ninjas remained silent in the face of Koharu's scolding, neither moving out of the way nor speaking, they just stopped him forcefully.

No one can enter without Danzo-sama’s order!

When he went to bed, Koharu was so angry that he was about to take action and teach these ignorant ninjas in front of him a lesson. Suddenly, there was a sound of crutches hitting the ground, followed by Danzo's half-dead voice.

: "Xiaochun, stop!"

The voice sounded, and the movements of Koharu's hands stopped as he went to bed. At this time, Mito Kadoyan also took advantage of the situation and said:

"Okay, Koharu, Danzo is here, stop it, there's no need to argue with them."

After going to bed, Koharu's expression changed, then she snorted coldly, slowly put her hand down, turned to look at Danzo, and said sarcastically:

"Danzo-sama is really a master of command. Just a few ninjas dare to stop in front of us. Well, the root management is not bad. It is impregnable and watertight, but... those who don't know may think this is another village.

Even our two consultant elders are not allowed to enter, and I wonder if the Hokage will be stopped when he comes."

As soon as Koharu came to bed, he started talking loudly, which made Danzo confused. He frowned instantly: "Have you taken some gunpowder? You spoke so irritably and in a weird way today. Have I offended you?"

Danzo thought to himself, he had no intention of changing his dormitory. The two Mito clans wanted someone, so why did Koharu and Mito Kabuto suddenly come to the dormitory together, and they were still so angry.

Or did Genbu accidentally offend them while performing his mission? No, Genbu rarely moves around the village recently.

While Danzo was thinking about it, Mito Kadenyan spoke.

"I'm sorry, Xiaochun is really not in a good mood right now, but it's not directed at you or Genji. Please forgive me."

Hearing this, Danzo's one eye flashed with surprise. He was really in a bad mood. So, who made this old woman angry?

Danzo thought about it over and over without thinking about it, and finally gave it up and asked directly: "Who is that? Also, you are here...to find me?"

Mito Menyan ignored the previous question and nodded: "Well, something is indeed true."

Danzo saw that they were not going to talk, so he did not continue to ask, but said: "Since you have something to do, let's come in and talk."

After saying that, Danzo opened the barrier, which could accommodate about two people walking in side by side.

Mito Kadoyan walked in first, followed closely by Koharu who went to bed. After a few seconds, the barrier returned to its original state.

······

basement one.

Danzo received the two of them here.

There are many important experiments in the lower floors as well as many of his dirty secrets, so Danzo will not let Koharu and Mito Kaden go down under any circumstances.

The three of them had just sat down and the tea hadn't been served yet. Danzo couldn't wait to ask: "Tell me, why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"

Danzo knew that his two old friends were the ones who never went to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and suddenly they came to him, which meant that they probably had something to ask of him.

Danzo was not opposed to this, on the contrary, he was quite happy to do so. If he could gain the support of the two of them by doing a few favors, he would never refuse.

Although it seems that Koharu and Mito Monobu, who are sleeping together, do not have much influence, in fact, this is not the case. Among some small ninja clan, the two still have a high prestige.

How could the two of them have been able to hold on to their position as Hokage advisors for so many years without their own team members?

Just like there is a violent organization like the Genbu under Danzo, there is also a force behind Koharu Koharu and Mito Monobu.

Although it's not particularly big, it does have a certain effect at certain times, such as when voting for Hokage...

And becoming Hokage is exactly what Danzo has been thinking about.

Therefore, Danzo has always been trying to win over Koharu and Mito Monobu who have moved to another dormitory.

Of course, to win over is to win over, it is impossible for Danzo to talk down to them. At most, he can have a better attitude and have no contact with them. Apart from that, he has no other actions.

He is the Shadow of Konoha, he has cards and wants to save face!

Even when facing Sarutobi Hiruzen, he dared to choke out a few words, such as:

Hiruzen, you will regret it!
