Starting the fourth generation Hokage

"Danzo-sama, I have learned all the ninjutsu that I can learn on the scroll..."

The voice of the young root ninja was equally indifferent, full of numbness and mechanical feeling.

"Really? Now let's show you the strongest technique you can use."

As he spoke, Shimura Danzo moved to the other side and made a clear space for the young man. There was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

After hearing Danzo's order, the young man stood up without any hesitation.

His hands had begun to form a seal, which lasted for more than ten seals, and finally settled on the 'Si' seal with both hands clasping fists. The young man's eyes were steady, and then he softly drank: "Wood Release: The birth of the sea of ​​trees!!!"

Buzz——

As the words fell, the ground beneath the young man's feet briefly began to tremble.

Then, trees with green branches and buds slowly began to emerge from the soil within a few meters. Although the growth rate is extremely slow, it is still somewhat amazing to witness this creation-like ability with your own eyes.

As the branches and buds emerged from the soil, they slowly grew larger and larger. The young man at the root formed a seal with his hands clasped in fists, and sweat gradually began to appear on his face under the mask.

Finally, after continuously controlling the branches to grow to more than one meter in height, the young man was panting and it was obvious that he had reached his limit.

"...Is this the only way we can do it?

It seems that it will take a lot of time to put it to use..."

In the distance, Danzo saw the boy Nebe immediately collapsed on the ground from exhaustion after finishing the operation, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

After a brief thought, he frowned and said, "According to legend, the First Generation Master was able to create a large forest in an instant."

"It seems like there's still a long way to go..."

In fact, the tree sea birth is a slightly different ninjutsu than the tree world descent.

Due to the constraints of chakra volume and other innate conditions, the advent of the tree world can basically be regarded as the prototype of the ninjutsu of the tree world. The scale of this technique is extremely small and has an upper limit.

Even if you master it to the extreme, you can only create a small forest.

The root boy saw Danzo's expression of disappointment. Although he felt unwilling in his heart, his face was still full of numbness.

At this moment, a low and hoarse voice suddenly came from a distance: "Tsk, tsk, the first generation of masters' Mudun is really magical. I really want to see the Mudun in its full power soon. What will happen?" scale.”

After hearing this sudden sound, the root boy and Danzo couldn't help but look back at the same time.

Then they discovered that a tightly wrapped man in a black robe and hood was walking towards the two of them.

After getting closer, the man took off his hat, revealing a face with pale skin, long black hair, long golden pupils, and purple eyeshadow extending to the wings of his nose.

"It's you, Orochimaru."

Danzo's expression remained unchanged as he said, "If you want to see the first-sama's Wood Release Technique in its full glory, I'm afraid it won't be possible."

"Although A is your successful work, its wood escape ability is still not comparable to that of the first generation."

"So, it's just a half-successful experimental subject."

Orochimaru, who was wearing a black robe, raised the corners of his mouth and did not refute.

Because what he said about seeing the wood escape in its full glory as soon as possible, of course, was not referring to Yamato, but there was another way. But naturally he would not say such a thing.

"It seems that your intelligence mission this time has been completed brilliantly..." Danzo changed the subject when Orochimaru didn't answer.

"It's completed, but the intelligence work before the war was really difficult."

Orochimaru couldn't come to the root base for no reason. Thinking of the effort he put in during the mission, he couldn't help but complain.

"Intelligence work is, of course, difficult."

Shimura Danzo signaled the boy codenamed A to continue training, while on the other hand he left with Orochimaru.

Walking in the dimly lit passage, Danzo continued: "The war is about to begin, and many of Konoha's spies spread across the enemy country have been removed."

"Especially for the Iwagakure Village, which is becoming more and more active, it is extremely necessary to deploy spy ninjas to act as eyeliners for Konoha..."

Because they were leaning on canes, the sound of wooden products hitting the floor tiles echoed regularly as the two walked slowly forward in the passage.

After hearing the news, Orochimaru looked strangely curious and said, "You don't want me to sneak into Iwagakure Village to do espionage, do you?"

"...You're going? I'm not counting on you." Danzo said bluntly: "Don't underestimate the latent work. This is different from the frontal battlefield. The espionage mission requires not absolute strength, but covert abilities and means, and The psychological quality of not being afraid of death.”

"The fight on the frontal battlefield is where your abilities come into play."

Orochimaru was obviously not too interested in this, and said lightly: "Are we going to train those children who have no talent but are not afraid of death to become spy ninjas again?"

"It's so boring..."

He had seen the process of Danzo training orphans to be spy ninjas.

Although it was also brainwashing, he didn't like Danzo's mechanical and emotionless brainwashing. After all, it was too boring for him.

The real brainwashing should make the devotees yearn for it and be willing at the same time.

However, Danzo said in the negative: "It is probably too late to train spy ninjas in the short term."

"The root is temporarily short of manpower. The matter is urgent, and I'm afraid the idle chess pieces will have to be used..."

It takes a long time, at least several months, to train an orphan with basic infiltration abilities and the ability to spy and collect intelligence to serve as a spy for Konoha.

Under this situation, Orochimaru couldn't help but be a little curious and asked doubtfully: "Idle chess pieces?"

"Do you secretly possess other powers besides your roots?"

The root is directly subordinate to Danzo. There is nothing to say about this. It is a normal establishment.

But if there are cultivating forces outside this establishment, this is a crime of armed rebellion and a serious violation of village security.

It is conceivable that once the root leader is found to be secretly harboring armed forces, he will definitely be convicted of plotting rebellion.

"You misunderstood, Orochimaru."

As a last resort, Shimura Danzo had to explain: "What I said was just the former root ninja. In extraordinary times, I had to recall her to continue to contribute to the village."

Orochimaru suddenly felt enlightened, but he couldn't help but became curious again: "It looks like he must be an elite ninja at the root, right?"

"After all, being so valued by the leader of the root..."

Shimura Danzo recalled the elite espionage ninja who had made outstanding military exploits, nodded and said: "Of course, she is by far the best espionage elite in the root."

"The title is; The Wandering Miko..."
