Chapter 41: Rescue

Kakashi moved forward and soon arrived at a secret place in the Konoha Forest.

There is a burrow here that is very difficult to detect.

Kakashi looked around and jumped down.

After a moment, another person dressed as an ANBU wearing a cat mask jumped down. He was not tall and very young.

Soon there was a rumbling sound below.

Xia Mu walked to the entrance of the cave and touched his chin.

The person who just went down seems to be Yamato? Oh, he seems to be called A now.

Did Danzo still send him out to dig out Kakashi's eyes?

I really don’t know if Danzo is confident or if his brain is not working well.

Or are you superstitious about Yamato Wood Release?

Suddenly, Xia Mu noticed something and jumped onto the tree.

Swish swish, the three roots reached the hole.

Two of them hid themselves and the other jumped.

No wonder, Danzo still has backup, surveillance, and substitutes. If A fails to complete the task, there will be others.

…

"The mission is not everything. If the mission is to kill your companions, this mission is wrong."

"Kakashi who killed his companions deserves to be called that, but ah, I don't... don't want to kill Rin at all!

"I failed to protect my companions, so Lin died. I failed to protect her with this Chidori, failed to protect her..."

"A, please give up your mission."

"People with roots seem to be indoctrinated into giving up all emotions."

"It's not just feelings, give up names, past and future, and live just to complete the task."

"I'm your enemy. Even if you don't save me, it's natural."

…

Xia Mu waited for a while, and the members of the root army who were following A came out first, pretending to be waiting for him at the door.

After a while, A jumped out.

A took out an eyeball soaked in a jar, and the two of them communicated with each other.

Natsuki is very familiar with this plot, and Kakashi has already mastered the armor.

A forged a fake Sharingan and went back to deliver it to Danzo.

Later, Kakashi and Sandaishin forced the armor out and changed his name to Tenzo.

Later, after the Kazekage took back the battle, "Yamato" was used as the mission code name, and everyone became accustomed to calling him Yamato.

"How dare you lie!"

A loud shout brought Xia Mu back from his thoughts. How come it was found to be fake here?

"Do it!" The other three roots jumped out.

"Sure enough, Danzo-sama doesn't trust me." Kaoru murmured.

A didn't resist at all and allowed one of them to tie him up.

The other three jumped into the hole, probably looking for Kakashi.

"A, why did you lie?"

A's dead fish eyes showed no emotion, but asked a little depressed:

"B, I don't understand the significance of this mission of killing my companions anymore, so I gave up the mission."

B was furious: "Danzo-sama, who is in charge of the roots, has the mission of everything!"

"Brother Kakashi is also a Konoha ninja and a companion of Konoha. Is it really okay to kill his companion?"

B pushed A down and said:

"Remember, the only ones you can consider as your companions are us, who are also members of the Root Organization!"

A gritted his teeth and said:

"Isn't Gen on Konoha's side?"

B’s expression is like a pilgrim:

"The roots are the invisible underground, silently supporting the organization of Konoha, the big tree. Just like the big tree is divided into the above ground and the underground, the roots exist independently."

"The so-called root ninja is nameless, emotionless, has no past or future, and only has missions in his eyes."

A suddenly struggled violently:

"No! I am a ninja of Konoha! Not only a root, but also a ninja with branches and leaves, the entire Konoha! Konoha ninjas are all my companions!"

B pressed A with cold eyes:

"Who on earth confused you!? I'm going to take you back and let Danzo-sama brainwash you again!"

"Oh, of course Danzo confused him!"

A long voice came over.

"Who!" B broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't even know someone was bullying him.

"Uh!..." Before B could turn around, he felt a pain in his head and instantly lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

"Get up."

Saying this, Xia Mu untied Jia.

"Who are you?" A didn't know Natsuki, but he still recognized him as an Uchiha from the way he dressed.

"My name is Natsuki Uchiha."

Natsuki said calmly, he was considering whether to go and save Kakashi.

Or, simply let the root person dig out his Sharingan.

"Are you the deputy chief of Uchiha!? Why did you save me?"

He had heard of Uchiha Natsuki, who had caused Danzo to suffer countless losses, and recently Danzo had lost his position as advisor elder.

"I just like to go against Danzo. It doesn't matter who you are."

"but……"

Xia Mu raised the corners of her lips: "I do know you."

"Know what I know."

"Aren't you one of the 60 babies Danzo stole back then?"

"What!?" A was shocked!

"Danzo-sama stole it!?"

Xia Mu nodded:

"Yes, Danzo stole you out, and Orochimaru was responsible for conducting human experiments on you. It seems that there is only one left now."

A said excitedly: "Do you have any evidence!?"

Xia Mu raised his eyelids:

"I have my own intelligence channels. I have no intention of proving it to you. Believe it or not."

"Danzo has been recruiting all kinds of people over the years, using the excuse of protecting Konoha to realize his ambitions."

"This!..." Jia was shocked. Is this the person he was loyal to? ?

"Zizizizizi..."

The chirping of chidori came from the cave.

"Oh no! Brother Kakashi!"

Jia only realized that his brother Kakashi was still down there.

He stood up and wanted to go to the cave entrance.

Xia Mu stretched out his hand and blocked it:

"No need to go, he will come up soon."

As soon as the voice fell, Kakashi jumped out of the cave entrance.

Xia Mu saw at a glance that Kakashi's Sharingan was intact. Although he was injured, he was basically fine.

Tsk, he spat inwardly.

This root of Danzo is really a waste. Three people fighting one and still being killed. Do you know how to play?

As soon as Kakashi jumped out of the cave, he saw Uchiha Natsuki standing at the entrance.

He immediately took a fighting stance:

"Master Natsuki, why are you here!?"

It was a pity, but Natsuki had no intention of directly removing Kakashi's Sharingan.

"You should go find the Third Hokage as soon as possible, otherwise Danzo's people will be here soon."

Natsuki did not answer Kakashi's words, but casually said a sentence, and then left the scene in a flash.

"Brother Kakashi! Are you okay!?"

A hurried up to check Kakashi's condition.

Kakashi staggered:

"It's okay, why is Natsuki here?"

A helped Kakashi up:

"It's not advisable to stay here for a long time, let's go find the Third Hokage first, and talk on the way."
