Chapter 131 Going Again
"You're just taking the two little guys with you?"
In the darkness of the night, Kakuzu looked at Danzo, then at the two people behind him, with a hint of amusement in his tone.
"Well, that's enough. I'll leave the roots to you and Duan."
Danzo nodded.
There was no choice. Orochimaru, Obito, Yamanaka Zen, Aburame Shiichi and other powerful figures in the Root who were famous had all gone to carry out their missions.
There are only a few children left by his side who can be used. Yamato is the only Wood Release ninja in Konoha and is extremely important to the village, so he must not be taken away.
This is also the reason why Danzo used the Impure World Reincarnation in advance.
This was originally the last trump card and it shouldn't have been revealed so early.
But someone must guard the Root right now, so Kakuzu and Kato Dan must not go out lightly.
This time he went to the Hidden Mist Village to attack their tailed beasts, so he resurrected those four ninjas through the Impure World Reincarnation.
With the fighting power of these four guys, escaping safely will not be a problem.
"You better be careful. After all, your head is worth 4000 million taels."
Kakuzu's tone was cold, and it was hard to tell whether it was out of concern or a joke.
This guy......
Looking at Kakuzu in front of him, a guess popped up in Danzo's mind: Could it be that this guy has already recognized his identity as a Konoha ninja?
Are the words just now also showing concern for me?
"Are you concerned about me?"
Danzo asked tentatively.
"Humph, I'm just worried that the money will be taken away by others."
Upon hearing this, Kakuzu turned around, said this and walked away.
"This old thing..."
Shaking his head, Danzo thought that as a human being in two lifetimes, he naturally understood Kakuzu's true thoughts.
After all, before defecting, Kakuzu could be said to have unconditionally trusted his companions in Takigakure Village.
Otherwise, he would not have accepted this nearly suicidal commission.
It was just that the actions of the Takigakure Village’s top management later broke his heart.
Otherwise, given this guy's love of money, if he had heard about Maruichi's wasteful behavior, he would have gone over to him and expressed his heartfelt thanks to him a long time ago.
Kakuzu: No, I just don't have the good habit of checking accounts.
Lamenting that his roots had grown stronger again and that he would be able to gather bloodline limits from all over the ninja world in the future, Danzo was in a good mood and took Shisui and others on board the boat.
Sailing on the sea is still so boring.
Ringo Yuuri was only concerned with leading the crew to fish at the stern of the boat, and the captain was the type of person who would answer every question you asked.
Fortunately, this kid Shisui actually has some knowledge of shogi.
And his strength is comparable to Danzo's.
"Snapped."
As Danzo placed the chess piece down, Shisui blinked, looked at the chessboard, and then gave a helpless smile.
"As expected of you, Master Danzo. I am the loser."
Danzo nodded pretentiously, this kid was much easier to deal with than Tatsuya.
During the sailing for so many days, the two played about 30 games, of which Shisui only won 5 games.
This was a special trick Danzo put in because he felt that Lao Ying was feeling a little guilty about the opponent.
"Shisui, as a ninja, shogi is indeed not necessary, but you still need to practice more. After all, it can improve your thinking."
"Yes, that's what Danzo-sama taught me."
In response to Danzo's preaching, Shisui looked sincere and kept nodding in agreement.
"I'm a little tired now. Let's go to the bow and take a look."
This game of chess lasted a bit long, it’s time to go outside and take a look.
Standing up, Danzo opened the door and walked out.
And Shisui hurriedly stood up and prepared to leave the room, but before leaving, he glanced at the chessboard meaningfully.
"Master Danzo, your third step has a huge flaw."
After pointing out Danzo's mistake in an inaudible voice, Shisui trotted after Danzo.
As a genius of the Uchiha clan, Shisui, whose eyes were opened when he witnessed his father's death, is naturally not inferior to Danzo in shogi.
Just like Danzo didn't know that he had already opened the Three-Magneto Sharingan, Shisui had been hiding his edge after joining the Root.
As for why, it all stems from a conversation he had with him long before he went to report to the Root.
[The image of Danzo-sama is very different from what Kuon-sama described.]
Following Danzo, Shisui couldn't stop muttering in his heart.
【Did he really kill his grandfather? 】
......
"Too many ninjas have gone missing recently. What happened?"
The matter of ninja tools had not been clarified yet, but the incident of missing ninjas appeared on the desk of the Sandaime Mizukage again.
This caused the "good-tempered" Mizukage to explode instantly.
"I've sent the Anbu to investigate."
He lowered his head as low as he could, and cold sweat ran down his face.
Having lost his ninja sword, he should have been punished by the village, and he himself was ready to defect.
But what he got in the end was the letter of appointment from the Mizukage asking him to lead the Anbu.
This made the Xiguashan Puffer Ghost stop packing his luggage.
Finally, he took over the Anbu with a grateful look on his face.
In order to make up for his sins, Xiguashan Puffer Demon also put in his best effort and tried his best to complete the task assigned to him by the Mizukage.
This is also the reason why the Sandaime Mizukage spared his life.
It is through this point that you can completely control the opponent.
"Hmm, how's the investigation going with Kakuzu Trading?"
"Well, we have sent people over, but they have hired a large number of rebel ninjas, so it will take some time."
Hearing this, the Mizukage's frown deepened even more.
Are the abilities of the ninjas in the Hidden Mist Village so low now? After several days, they couldn’t even investigate a merchant clearly.
Or was it that I was wrong and that the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost was simply not capable of taking on such a big responsibility?
"I hope you can understand that your life was saved, understand?"
Although he felt somewhat disappointed, the Sandaime Mizukage still decided to give this guy another beating.
It has basically been confirmed that Yagura, the most powerful new generation in the village, will become the next Mizukage.
This is the consensus between myself and Master Yuan.
In other words, some dirty things in the village must be cleaned up during his term of office.
When the war against Konoha is won, he and the Xiguashan Pufferfish ghost can leave with peace of mind.
Therefore, this guy cannot be killed yet.
"Yes, yes, yes, I will step up the investigation. No, I will do it myself!"
Upon hearing this, the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon almost knelt down before the Third Mizukage.
He expressed his loyalty to the Sandaime Mizukage in fear, and finally received the Sandaime Mizukage's voice, "Go down."
The Xiguashan puffer ghost felt as if he had been pardoned and left the Mizukage's office in embarrassment.
"Humph."
When they walked to a deserted place, the Watermelon Mountain Pufferfish Ghost finally put away the fear on his face.
He frowned and snorted coldly.
[The old Mizukage is using me like a tool. It's time to think about a way out.]
The Sandaime Mizukage's attitude today made the Watermelon Mountain Puffer Demon smell a hint of danger.
As the leader of the Anbu, he was naturally aware that the village was about to go to war with Konoha.
It would be fine if the war was won, but if the war was lost, I would definitely be the first unlucky guy to be blamed.
It just so happened that some time ago, the ninjas from the Iwagakure Village had secret contact with the Xiguashan pufferfish demon.
He was originally a little hesitant, but now he has made up his mind.
That is to accumulate money and find a way out.
