Chapter 11 Success

After this fight, Danzo finally entered their secret base as he wished.

He found a random rock to sit on, felt around in his arms, and pulled out a few snacks.

"Here, take it."

Looking at the exquisitely packaged snacks in front of them, Yahiko and others swallowed their saliva but did not dare to reach out for them.

After a long period of wandering and seeing the fickleness of the world, they cannot easily believe the kindness shown by others.

There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Danzo naturally saw the other party's concerns.

Therefore, he did not force it, but put the snacks aside, and then he noticed that the three people were shivering in the cold wind because they were wet all over because they had just been caught in the rain.

"Have you got any firewood?"

Trust grows gradually, so don't rush it.

They used Fire Style and firewood to create a fire, with Danzo sitting on one side and the other three little ones huddled together and sat on the opposite side.

Looking at the three people huddled together and whispering, Danzo pretended not to see anything and just warmed himself by the fire.

For some things, being the first to speak can make things worse.

In the end, it was Yahiko who couldn't hold back anymore.

"Uncle, are you a ninja?"

"Yes, I'm from Konoha Village."

Danzo frankly stated that he was a Konoha ninja. Some things, if said in advance, will make you appear more upright.

Hearing that the other party was from Konoha, the three little ones were just a little surprised, but did not show any hatred.

Especially Nagato, although his parents were accidentally killed by Konoha ninjas, during this period of wandering life, these so-called compatriots seemed to have hurt them more deeply.

"Then why did you save us?"

"Why......"

"I just don't want to see children die because of this war."

Danzo said in the gentlest tone he had ever used in two lifetimes.

"Our Konoha's first Hokage, Senju Hashirama-sama, established the Konoha Village so that children could grow up healthily and not die in war."

"And we in Konoha have inherited the will of the first generation from generation to generation."

"So, when I saw those guys trying to hurt you, my sense of justice made me unable to sit idly by."

Danzo said as he made up, oh no, he opened the snack.

He first took a piece for himself and ate it, then naturally passed it to the three little ones again.

This time the three little ones only hesitated for a moment and did not refuse.

The three little ones, who were used to all kinds of bread, tasted high-end snacks for the first time and were so excited that they shed tears.

Looking at the three people wolfing down the food, Danzo chuckled and took out a large bottle of drinking water from his arms to prevent them from choking.

He bought these before coming.

"In order to implement the will of the first generation, I also set up an organization in the village to take in orphans."

"There, the children don't have to fight. They gather together to study, eat and rest on weekdays, just like a big family."

"Unity, friendship, harmony and mutual assistance are the core values ​​of the organization."

"Everyone is working hard to achieve peace in the ninja world."

As Danzo spoke, his image became taller and taller in the eyes of the three people.

"Peace..."

"Being able to learn ninjutsu..."

"extended family......"

The three little ones were muttering to themselves.

After watching Danzo's battle, they developed the desire to learn ninjutsu.

Originally, the three of them invited Danzo in not only to express their gratitude, but also in the hope that he could teach them ninjutsu.

As a result, after hearing what the other party was talking about, they felt a little yearning in their hearts.

After all, they are still young now, and they have lost their loved ones, so they don’t have much ties to the Rain Kingdom.

After calling the little one lying deep in the cave over, the three of them turned their backs and started discussing in low voices while petting the dog.

"I want to join this uncle's organization."

The word "peace" touched Yahiko's heart.

"Me too, this uncle doesn't look like a liar."

After a long period of wandering, Xiaonan began to yearn for the big family that Danzo had mentioned.

Nagato just stroked the dog silently. Being an introvert, he would follow his companions no matter what choice they made.

In the end, the three little ones decided to join Konoha and decided that Yahiko would ask the other party to take them away.

"Uncle, we hope to join your organization!"

Turning around, Yahiko mustered up his courage and spoke to Danzo.

Become!

When Danzo heard Yahiko's words, his expression remained unchanged, but he was already beaming with joy in his heart.

Having lived two lives and roamed the ninja world for decades, it should be easy for him to capture a few little kids.

After praising himself in his heart, Danzo decided to be a little reserved.

If you agree too decisively, it will seem like you have planned it all along.

Although this is indeed the case.

"Really? You also want to join our big family..."

He looked the three of them up and down in a pretentious manner.

The three of them were so nervous that they dared not move.

"I don't even know your names yet."

After hearing Danzo's words, the three of them realized that they seemed to have not introduced themselves yet.

"My name is Yahiko!"

"My name is Xiaonan."

"Nagato..."

"Yahiko, Konan, Nagato." Danzo pretended to hear the three names for the first time and called them one by one, "You must think clearly. Once you join us, it means that you will always be a part of Konoha in the future."

"Leaving is not allowed."

He pretended to be serious and explained the pros and cons to the three people.

After hearing this, the three of them nodded seriously without any hesitation.

"Well then, my name is Danzo Shimura, and as the leader of the Root, on behalf of the Root family, I welcome you to join us!"

Danzo opened his arms and gently hugged the three people and the dog.

......

With the help of Danzo, the three of them packed their luggage, looked at their former home with some reluctance, said a brief goodbye in their hearts, and followed Danzo away.

After everyone left...

A white figure emerged from beneath the ground in the cave.

"Ah, Nagato was taken away by someone..."

Looking at the fire that was still emitting residual heat, the white figure shook his head.

"What should I do? Yes, I should report it to Madara-sama..."

After mumbling to itself for a while, the white figure sank into the ground again and disappeared, as if it had never appeared at all.

......

Somewhere underground.

The white-haired Uchiha Madara was leaning back in his chair to rest.

Although he relied on the Outer Golem to extend his life, his body functions had severely deteriorated and he spent most of his time sleeping.

"Madara-sama..."

Hearing someone calling his name, Uchiha Madara opened his eyes, sat up straight and looked forward.

Isn't this guy the White Zetsu that he sent to monitor Nagato?

"What happened?"

"That Nagato kid has been taken away."

Upon hearing this news, Madara frowned.

"The Samsara Eye has been discovered?"

The first thing that came to his mind was that the Rinnegan was being coveted by someone.

But this kind of eyes only exist in legends. Nagato is still young and can't use those eyes yet. When he doesn't use his ability, he won't be discovered by others.

This is also the reason why he dared to let Nagato go.

"It doesn't seem so."

White Zetsu had been using the Mayfly Technique to monitor Nagato, and he could hear clearly the conversation between Danzo and him.

"It was a ninja from Konoha. He took Nagato and his companions away because he felt sorry for him."

Hearing that the Rinnegan was not exposed, Madara finally felt relieved.

"Then continue to monitor. It will be a good thing to let the Konoha ninja take him away."

In Madara's opinion, the darkness hidden in Konoha is no less than that in the Rain Country. If Nagato goes to Konoha, it might be more beneficial to his plan.

However, the risk of exposing the Rinnegan has increased a lot.

"By the way, did you see anyone from the Uchiha clan in this war?"

"Yes, but they seem to be very weak, and most of them haven't opened their eyes."

Madara had already told us that if we saw the corpse of an Uchiha, we should remember to dig out its eyes.

If anyone is injured and leaves the team, bring him here.

"And there are very good medical ninjas among them, so Konoha's casualties are not serious."

Bai Zetsu continued to add.

"Yeah......"

After years of planning, it didn't go as planned.

"You go down first, or act according to the previous instructions."

Watching the White Zetsu sinking into the ground in front of him, Madara leaned back in his seat.

"Hashirama..."

Murmuring his friend's name, Uchiha Madara slowly closed his eyes and fell into sleep again.
