The melee master of the ninja world

() "tick...tick..."

In that dark environment, the sound of dripping water became a rare embellishment note here.Though it only furthers the spooky vibe here in a sense...

This place is located deep underground in Konoha Ninja Village. There is a dim candle flickering on the concrete wall every few meters. It is estimated that a little wind and grass will be enough to extinguish the weak light source...

This scene vividly shows us "a gloomy underground secret base".

Here, countless pipes, passages, and rooms are intertwined, forming an almost maze-like existence.Even if outsiders can sneak in, it is difficult to find out the reality.

The person who occupies this natural labyrinth is an organization that is not well-known in the ninja world, but has been heard of by the high-level villages.His name is - 'Root'!

"Deep in the ground that cannot be seen, it supports the roots of the big tree Konoha."

This is the reason why its founder gave it such a name.Because that guy has always taken an unusual path, hoping to show the power of Konoha in another way, and at the same time protect Konoha.

The opposite is the moderate faction represented by the three generations of Hokage, and the two have diametrically opposed ideas.This person pursues a policy of strong force and iron blood.

"Ninjas are tools that don't need emotion."

This sentence is his mantra.

He is the founder and current boss of "Root" - Shimura Danzo...

Now, the boss is sitting in the headquarters of 'Root', listening to the news from his subordinates.

"That brat Senju Ryosuke is back..."

After listening to his subordinate's report, Danzo's indifferent old face became very interested.

"Yes, I am currently visiting Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Sasuke at Konoha Village Hospital."

The ninja half kneeling in front of Danzo truthfully reported Ryosuke's whereabouts to Danzo.He was wearing an ink black robe and an animal-like mask on his face.

"Go and call him over."

"Yes."

With the departure of the ninja, this place has returned to the usual gloomy and silent state...

……

"Hmm... Kakashi-sensei, you really look decadent, even though you usually look like a decadent uncle..."

Here, Ryosuke peeled the fresh fruit he just bought and handed it to Kakashi, and then sat quietly in the visiting seat of the hospital, telling the process of this mission, especially when it came to the interesting parts, Kakashi couldn't help but smile I smile.

Ryosuke respects the man in front of him who is both a teacher and a friend from the bottom of his heart.

After all, after experiencing such a childhood, he can still stick to his heart, which is really admirable.

In Kakashi's words, "Only when you lose will you understand."

——————————————————————————————————————————————

"Master Tsunade has returned to the village, and will succeed the Fifth Hokage..."

On the hospital bed, Kakashi was digesting the information Ryosuke brought.

At this moment, Kakashi's face tightened, and he looked coldly behind Ryosuke - Anbu wearing a strange animal mask.

"Ryosuke Senju, please come with me, our leader has something to ask for you."

Anbu ninja chose to ignore Kakashi's cold gaze, and directly stated the content of the mission.

"Understood, I'm sorry Mr. Kakashi, you continue to cultivate, I will meet their boss at the invitation, and I will chat with you next time!"

Ryosuke didn't wait for Kakashi to speak, and left the ward with Anbu Ninja after finishing speaking first.

"This kid..."

For Ryosuke, Kakashi only had a wry smile on his face.

Looking at the big tree outside the window, Kakashi's smile gradually faded: "However, Danzo, don't push yourself too hard, my disciple is not a tool in your hands!"

Speaking of the last two words, there was a murderous air in the plain tone!

The chaffinches on the tree outside the window seemed to sense the imminent danger, and all flew away from the treetops...

……

"Yeah, what's the matter? Go to eat a good meal and drink a drink, this is the life I want!"

As soon as the preparations for succeeding Hokage were over, Tsunade began to complain to Shizune.

"Wait a minute, is there anything else waiting for you before enjoying life?"

Naruto blocked the exit of the Hokage gate, afraid that Tsunade would slip away.

"what?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Looking at Tsunade's confused expression, Naruto felt like crying.

"Yes, yes, I see."

It was an answer to deal with it a little bit, and Tsunade followed Naruto to the hospital helplessly.

When Tsunade and Naruto arrived at the hospital, Ryosuke was also invited to meet the boss of Root - Shimura Danzo.

"Ryosuke Senju, do you know who this old man is?"

In the middle of the conference room sat an old man in a black kimono with half of his face covered in bandages.Leaning on a wooden cane, his face looks old, but he has black hair, two scars interlaced on his chin, and his exposed eyes are slightly narrowed, with a hint of vulture.

That's right!

This old man is none other than Shimura Danzo, who was called "the synonym of darkness" by the Fourth Raikage in the original work!

"Ah...it should be the leader of Konoha's 'Root', Danzo-sama..."

Ryosuke looked at the black-clothed old man in front of him with a dry smile, his little heart was beating impolitely...

This guy is more difficult to deal with than Orochimaru in every sense, and with Elder Konoha's universal ID card, he can almost run amok in Konoha.

"Hmph... The intelligence network of the Thousand Hands Clan is not bad."

"You go out first!"

Danzo winked at Anbu who was in charge of leading the way, and Anbu understood it, bowed his head and saluted, and left quickly.

Seeing this, Ryosuke was thoughtful, but he didn't expect that even his cronies around him were not allowed to know the confidentiality of the content.

"Okay! Except for you and me, no one in the world knows the content of this conversation. The old man will cut to the chase."

Danzo stared directly at Ryosuke with cold eyes,

"Do you know why the old man summoned you?"
