Chapter 2516 The Dark Corner

Latest website: "Danzo-sama, this is the order from above."

At this time, on the other side, in a dark corner of the village, with a trembling hand, a ninja from the Root Organization handed the scroll in his hand to half the face and half the body sitting on the main seat of the secret room. The elders, all wrapped in bandages, closed their eyes and rested. .

"Um……"

In response, the elder stretched out his hand, but there was no change in his expression. He just nodded slightly after taking it.

After taking it, he didn't see any intention of opening it. He just held it in his hand and had no intention of opening it.

"It's too much! Danzo-sama is also an elder in the village after all, and he is the master of the root. This boy is too much. It's just an order to order Danzo-sama. Even the Third Hokage would not dare to Do it!”

At this time, seeing his master's indifferent appearance, Danzo's latest confidant, who was always known for his calmness, said rather indignantly.

"Um?"

In this regard, after hearing this, Danzo opened his closed eyes slightly, glanced at this newly promoted confidant with a slightly gloomy look, and let out a cold snort with a hint of dissatisfaction. There was no trace of hum from him. It squeezed out from the moving lips.

Suddenly, the new confidant froze slightly and became as silent as a chill.

Although he didn't know where he had offended this master who had become increasingly powerful recently, this new confidant knew very well that now was not the time to speak, nor was it the time to mention any information about this order.

Therefore, he chose to remain silent and express his fear and obedience to his master's power.

After all, just three days ago, the number one confidant who had been accompanying his master for decades was coldly carried out of this room and was still vivid in his mind. Even the confidant who had always been loyal and solved problems for his master for decades said, Just kill him without any warning. As a newcomer, even a bit of a make-up person, it’s better to be careful.

No!

It is better to be extra careful.

Say what you should say, and never say what you shouldn't.

And since he can become a new confidant, he naturally understands a lot of things.

At least, after becoming a new confidant, he now knows some intelligence and information that he could not see before.

There was even a lot of unread information on his desk at this time.

And because the dead Taki Chiba suddenly returned in the past few days, and actually took over most of Huo Yingdong's power, almost without a name as the acting Hokage, he was ruthlessly attacking the information about Taki Chiba. Make up for it.

He is very clear about the grudge between Taki Chiba and his master.

Because he is aware of these grievances, he also understands that he must not say anything more now and cannot further offend his master.

To avoid being carried out as a cold corpse.

Although there is no clear statement in the document, since he can reach the level of Danzo's confidant from a talented family, it can be seen to some extent that this newly promoted confidant of Danzo can be seen. ,

His master had an enmity with Taki Chiba because of the issue of controlling the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki when Taki Chiba was still young and was blooming. Later, due to a series of events, although the two of them were on good terms with each other, privately they were at odds with each other and turned into a fight to the death.

Moreover, this Taki Chiba is very smart and sensible, without any juvenile air at all, nor does he have any arrogance despite the deliberate promotion by the village. He has always been calm and peaceful. Even without crossing his bottom line, he basically tolerated it as long as he could. Even if his master made some small moves, he remained calm and hardly took the initiative to make any counterattacks against his director.

Unless it reaches the absolute commanding heights, this Taki Chiba will never attack.

Of course, once the attack breaks out, his master will definitely suffer a lot.

After all, the Third Hokage was also staring at his master. Every time Taki Chiba had an attack, he almost gave the Third Hokage a chance to slowly move his master away from the decision-making level and gradually be marginalized.

Along with this, Liangen’s rights and interests are also greatly weakened.

Especially during the time when the Fourth Hokage came to power, the Third Hokage and the Fourth Hokage used almost thunderous means to separate a large number of root personnel from various departments in the village.

It was also from that time that his roots began to be solidified in the circles of espionage and some contacts with the dark world, and he basically had no future.

It can be said that his master's decades of management were almost destroyed by Taki Chiba.

But this Taki Chiba is still very sober, and still looks calm and peaceful. Even the village's decision-makers don't want to enter. He looks like I don't want to take over as Hokage, I just want to have a peaceful time.

And the more this happened, the more the Third Hokage favored him. He felt that this child had a good nature and could take on the position of Hokage, and the more he paid attention to it.

Gradually, even some privileges that should not be given to a ninja without any position were directly handed over to him as if it were a matter of course.

In the eyes of this new confidant, this Taki Chiba is simply a born politician. He has mastered the ability to retreat to advance. I am afraid that there is no Machiavellian like him in the entire ninja world. At such a young age, he has always been wily and calculating. His own master was overwhelmed.

Even, for a while, they gave up any plans to fight for power.

What's even more frightening is that Taki Chiba's strength has improved horribly every day and every year. Especially every time he comes back from near death on the battlefield, his strength will have an incredible improvement, even if it is his own master. Even if he makes some small moves while he is out on a mission, there is no way to stop him.

In the end, Taki Chiba overwhelmed his master politically, and even in terms of strength, his master was unimaginable.

It can be said that at this time, his master has no chance of winning, and the only option is to completely turn off the flames and stop fighting Taki Chiba.

It wasn't until the night of the Kyuubi that Taki Chiba gave up the position of Hokage to track down Uchiha Nobuhiko, and also asked the village to wipe out everything he had on the surface, which allowed his master to breathe a sigh of relief.

Although the Third Hokage still adopted a policy of suppressing the roots, due to the lack of a large number of elite ninjas, he had to start relying on the roots, and his master finally ushered in the day to rise.

This can be considered a blessing to Taki Chiba. Due to the special and awkward positioning of the Roots, there were not many Roots personnel involved in the Night of the Nine Tails. Instead, many backbones were left behind, and not even a few people were lost.

In this way, the number of root elites in proportion to the number of elites in the village instantly increased by several levels.

It's a blessing in disguise.

It is also for this reason that my master has been having a better time in the past few years.

At least, sometimes, even the Third Hokage had to frequently use his master's power. It was precisely because of this that the master had the opportunity to return to the decision-making level.

At the same time, the owner, who had already become decadent, regained his confidence and once again ignited the goal in his heart.

In recent times, it has become even more powerful.

In sharp contrast to the Third Hokage, who had already shown signs of decline, he was very confident in his master. In the era when the Third Hokage began to fail, who else in the entire Konoha House could support him?

However, I didn't expect that Taki Chiba would suddenly return at this stage, and when he came in, he took over almost all the authority of the Hokage. The first thing he did when he came to power was to uproot the root members who had begun to penetrate into various departments in Konoha. .

However, he acted more resolutely and thoroughly than the Third Hokage.

He could hardly imagine that overnight, whether it was handled by him, or by the confidant who had been with his master for decades, or by his master himself, everything happened in that night, and that Taki Chiba took the After reaching some permissions, it was excluded.

Yes, overnight, all the hard work of so many years was eliminated by Taki Chiba, and not a single one was left.

To be honest, Xinjin's confidant can still recall the horrifying mood he felt at that time, the state of standing there blankly, not knowing what to think. I'm afraid, he will remember it clearly for the rest of his life.

This was also the first time he felt the power of Konoha's patron saint up close.

At the beginning, his understanding of this patron saint was limited to extremely confidential files within the root that could only be read by those with high authority.

To be honest, at first, he was quite disdainful of these descriptions. He felt that his master was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years. This was an unreasonable exaggeration of Taki Chiba's energy. Besides, there were so many If this thing is not exaggerated, how could a teenager be able to do it?

Although he himself does not belong to the category of genius, he was able to be selected by Gen and Danzo, and his qualifications are not bad. He has also seen many geniuses, and he has even come into contact with Uchiha Shisui, a famous genius among the geniuses of the now exterminated Uchiha clan.

Even the genius among the geniuses of the Uchiha clan cannot do these things. The records above are exaggerated no matter how you look at them.

But, that day, he really felt it.

And from that day on, his master, who had once again picked up his ambitions, also became sluggish again on that day.

At the same time, Nataki Chiba accepted all the authority transferred by the Third Hokage without any interference, and methodically rebuilt the defense during the Chunin Examination.

After that, there was the current order letter with no face revealed.

He completely regarded his master as a subordinate.

And his master is one of the pillars of Konoha that even the third generation Hokage must maintain basic respect for. Even the fourth generation Hokage was respectful in everything, even if his master was already suppressed and breathless.

Taki Chiba's current behavior is already a bit arrogant.

No!

It's bullying.

At this moment, in addition to being frightened by Taki Chiba and fearful of his current master's attitude, this new confidant was also a little aggrieved.

"You go down first."

At this time, Danzo closed his eyes again and spoke again.

"yes!"

In response, Xin Jin's confidant, who was a little shocked, a little afraid, and a little aggrieved, responded directly without any hesitation, and then disappeared into the secret room in a flash.

"snort!"

After his new confidant left, Danzo slowly opened his eyes. A cold expression mixed with anger and dissatisfaction slowly appeared on his originally expressionless face.

Although his ability is a bit weak, he is still the smartest one, and his loyalty is also reliable.

Just make do with it.

At this time, such a thought flashed through his mind.

Obviously, he is quite dissatisfied with this new confidant.

If I had known earlier, I should have...

At the same time, after the coldness of anger and dissatisfaction dissipated from Danzo's face, there was an application of regret.

At this moment, Danzo couldn't help but have doubts about his usual training methods for members of his roots.

His training method that focuses on loyalty and action has undoubtedly trained all his root members into machines that only know tasks and obey orders. No matter whether they are extremely qualified or well qualified, they will only perform tasks. People can help share their worries strategically and politically.

The best one, the new confidant just now, is just a little clever, completely unable to share his worries strategically and politically, and is even a bit short-sighted.

Is Taki Chiba bullying herself now?

Are you bullying yourself?

Is he venting his personal anger on himself?

You can't see this at all, you really look like an idiot!

"well……"

Thinking of this, Danzo, who had always been indifferent to emotions and anger, lowered his eyes slightly and sighed.

A look of regret suddenly appeared on his face.

I originally thought that the letter would accompany me to the end.

but……

did not expect.

After the rare look of regret on his face, Danzo's heart, which had been calm for a long time, suddenly surged with grief.

letter.

Having followed him for decades, he has been by his side all the ups and downs.

Most of the things he couldn't do were done for him by him.

No one is better than him in terms of strategy, politics, or figuring out one's own thoughts.

Even after he dies or becomes Hokage, his roots must be handed over to him.

But he didn't expect that three days ago, he suddenly died in front of him. One moment he was fine, and the next second, he vomited blood and died suddenly. He couldn't even find out when he was hit.

But this letter was not just Danzo's confidant.

In other words, although in the past few decades, Danzo has regarded him as a subordinate and even trained him as his successor, strictly speaking, at the beginning, Danzo had no feelings for him other than his roots, and even just regarded him as a tool.

And this tool was prepared for his adopted son.

But he didn't expect that his adopted son, who he had devoted countless efforts to, would betray him, and once he betrayed him, he would almost be doomed.

But this tool has been with me for decades and has always been loyal to me.

Non-vegetation, ruthless Practice makes perfect?

Even a piece of ice has been heated over the past few decades, let alone Danzo?

However, after being bitten by a snake and fearing ropes for ten years, Danzo no longer dared to confide in others.

At this time, Danzo finally began to grieve after his confidant who had been with him for decades and was as good as his son passed away.

This is……

Warning?

And in the midst of grief, a flame of resentment slowly boiled up in Danzo's heart.
