The talks lasted for three days. Judging from Shimura Danzo's expression, Mo Congfeng judged that the talks went very smoothly and at least got a result that Shimura Danzo was satisfied with.

On the way back after the peace talks, Aburame Shio accepted the invitation of Shimura Danzo and joined the Root Organization. Shimura Danzo took the opportunity to invite Mo Congfeng again. Mo Congfeng was forced by the situation and had to accept the invitation and became a member of the Root Organization!

It was only at this time that Mo Congfeng knew the truth about the Root Organization. The current Root Organization only had a staffing structure and almost no members. It was a completely empty shell!

Danzo Shimura briefly introduced the sequence organization to which the Root organization belongs, as well as the historical evolution process and specific organizational situation of the Anbu, and clarified the relationship between the Root organization and the Anbu of the Third Hokage.

The Anbu was founded by the Second Hokage and initially consisted of only seventy people, including one captain-general, one deputy captain-general, and four team leaders. Each team leader was in charge of four squads, with four people in each squad.

After the Third Hokage took over, the original 70-member Anbu organization was renamed the Hokage's Direct Anbu, which was the Third Hokage's protection team. In addition, 12 Earthly Branches were added, and each captain was named according to the order of the Earthly Branches, namely Rat, Tiger, Chou, and Ox. Each captain was responsible for a different number of Anbu teams according to the mission requirements. Usually, each captain managed no less than one team and no more than four Anbu teams.

After the previous war, the Third Hokage's direct Anbu suffered heavy losses, resulting in a huge personnel gap. Shimura Danzo took the opportunity to request to join the Third Hokage's direct Anbu and suggested the establishment of the Root Organization.

So the Third Hokage appointed Danzo Shimura as the captain of the fourth ANBU team directly under the Hokage, with the power to appoint four teams of ANBU directly under him. At the same time, he agreed to the establishment of the Root Organization. On the surface, the Root Organization is the fourth ANBU team directly under the Hokage!

Danzo Shimura intended to emulate the Twelve Earthly Branches of the Anbu under the Third Hokage, and eventually build ten branches out of the Ten Heavenly Stems.

After Mo Congfeng and Aburame Shio joined the Root organization, Danzo Shimura appointed Mo Congfeng as the squad leader of the first team of the fourth ANBU team directly under the Third Hokage under his jurisdiction. Aburame Shio and the two masked ninjas were members of the first team.

Mo Congfeng had reason to suspect that the so-called Root Organization was now the group of five people led by Shimura Danzo. Come to think of it, after Shimura Danzo had experienced the previous war and gained the trust of the Third Hokage, he immediately contacted Hanzo of the Land of Rain and began to prepare for peace talks. It was entirely possible that he had no time to expand the membership of the Root Organization!

When Mo Congfeng expressed his hope to get to know and establish connections with other members of the Root organization, Danzo Shimura made it clear that according to the confidentiality principle of the Anbu, Mo Congfeng did not need to know the members of the other three existing branches of the Root organization, and he must try his best to hide his identity in the future and not make his Anbu identity public!

Mo Congfeng completely felt that Shimura Danzo was bragging. Even if Shimura Danzo contacted his former subordinates and invited them to join, the size would never exceed one detachment. As for the three detachments, it was completely possible that he was just bragging!

Mo Congfeng stared at the middle-aged man Shimura Danzo running in the heavy rain. He felt that it was ridiculous. He dragged his injured body and ran back and forth for the so-called trust and a little power. It was really puzzling! For his best friend, the Third Hokage? For the Hidden Leaf Village? Or for his ambition and desire buried deep in his heart?

Danzo Shimura, who was running in front, suddenly stopped and showed a vigilant expression. Mo Congfeng waved his hand gently, signaling Aburame Shio and the other two to hide in the tree. He quickly approached Danzo Shimura and blocked him behind him.

Mo Congfeng listened carefully, but could not hear any sound. What did Shimura Danzo discover? Was there an ambush ahead? Mo Congfeng discovered that his second problem besides his poor resistance to illusions was his poor perception ability and almost no means of perception.

"Investigate the enemy situation!" Mo Congfeng shouted softly. This was an order to Aburame Shio!

As soon as these words came out, several red-clothed ninjas appeared on the trees. Mo Congfeng couldn't tell whether these were all the enemies!

"As expected of a man who has experienced two world wars, Danzo Shimura is indeed worthy of his reputation!" A red-clothed ninja leader spoke first!

"I was wondering where these rats came from, and how dare they ambush me, Shimura Danzo! Turns out they are these villains from the Iwagakure Village!" Shimura Danzo responded loudly!

"You are the first person in history, Danzo Shimura, who was hit by the Third Tsuchikage's Dust Release but survived! Danzo Shimura, every day you live is the greatest insult to the Earth Kingdom's bloodline that eliminated Dust Release. Today, we are here to take your life!" The other red-clothed ninja shouted angrily!

Shimura Danzo laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, nowadays the Iwagakure Village can only carry out sneak attacks? When the first Tsuchikage Ishikawa was still around, the Iwagakure Village still had the courage to fight their opponents head on. But now, the courage of the Iwagakure Village ninjas is as small as their Tsuchikage! Hahahaha!"

"Damn it! Earth escape? Earthquake wave!" A ninja attacked angrily.

Mo Congfeng felt the ground heaving beneath his feet and he was unstable. He quickly jumped up and jumped onto a tree. The tree was also shaking and was about to fall over!

"Shimura Danzo, don't be stubborn. Your right hand is injured and most of your strength is gone. Instead of trying to escape when you meet us, you try to be brave! Earth escape? Earth spear!" Another red-clothed ninja shouted, and two earth spears quickly stabbed at Shimura Danzo!

Mo Congfeng was shocked, guessing that Shimura Danzo's right hand was injured and it might be difficult for him to seal and resist. Mo Congfeng quickly drew out his short sword, and a three-foot white light shone on the tip of the sword. This was the effect of the wind escape vacuum blade. Mo Congfeng jumped down from the tree and cut off the earth spear with two sword strokes.

Mo Congfeng was extremely surprised. The feeling of swinging the sword was much faster. The wind greatly reduced the resistance when the dagger was swung, and the dagger became much easier to use!

Mo Congfeng didn't have time to think about it. He turned around to look at Shimura Danzo, but Shimura Danzo had disappeared.

"Wind Style? Sogyoku Wave!" Danzo Shimura jumped onto a tree, raised his left hand, placed it in front of his mouth, blew out a horizontal wind blade, and cut through the numerous trees that were blocking the Iwagakure ninja!

"Earth Style? Earth Flow Wall!" The Iwagakure Village ninja summoned a ten-meter-long and half-meter-thick earth wall, trying to block Shimura Danzo's wind style ninjutsu!

Shimura Danzo sneered, "Wind Style? Vacuum Ball!" Air shells were fired continuously, piercing through the earth wall, and a series of painful cries came from behind the wall!

Seeing that Danzo Shimura was very powerful and didn't need his protection at all, Mo Congfeng sped up and jumped over the earth wall. He chopped down several enemies and successfully suppressed the ninjutsu released by the Iwagakure ninja!

Outside the wall, there were screams and sounds of fighting from Aburame Shio. Mo Congfeng was startled. It seemed that there was an enemy behind him! Mo Congfeng didn't care about expanding his victory. He split the earth wall with a sword and turned back to defend, trying to protect Shimura Danzo!

Mo Congfeng had just escaped from the wall when he saw an incredibly disgusting scene. Aburame Shio summoned bugs, which drilled into the enemy's mouth and nose!

Danzo Shimura standing in the middle seemed much more relaxed, spitting out air bombs to kill the enemies.

Mo Congfeng felt relieved and was about to turn around and go to the other side of the wall to continue chasing the enemy, "Earth Escape? Earth Dragon Bomb!" An earth dragon quickly emerged from the ground at the feet of the wall in front of Mo Congfeng and pounced on Mo Congfeng and Shimura Danzo behind him!

Too close! Mo Congfeng felt it was difficult to completely avoid this swift and huge dragon head!

Mo Congfeng squatted down and took a deep breath, mobilized his true energy, and swung out the short sword blessed by the Wind Escape Vacuum Blade, and used the Tianzhu Sword Technique - Tianzhu Cloud, trying to stop the earth dragon. Unexpectedly, the earth dragon was easily split into two halves by the sword, and the remaining force did not diminish, and a two-foot-long hole was split in the ground!

The whole place was silent. Mo Congfeng stared blankly at the dagger in his hand. The wind blade on it had dissipated. The dagger looked ordinary and no different from before.

But Mo Congfeng still remembered the feeling of swinging the sword just now. After the wind blade was added, it seemed that there was no more obstruction in swinging the sword, and the release of true energy was much smoother. Mo Congfeng had all kinds of feelings in his heart when he swung the sword just now. One word to describe it is smooth, and another word is slippery!

Without thinking too much, Mo Congfeng chased after the remaining enemies. It only took a moment to eliminate the remaining enemies. No Iwagakure ninja tried to surrender, and no one was taken prisoner!

When Mo Congfeng counted the battlefield after the war, he found the scene to be in a mess. Many trees and ponds had been severely damaged and it was completely unrecognizable from their original appearance!

After a quick count, Danzo Shimura and his group killed nearly twenty Iwagakure ninjas. They also suffered casualties on their side, including the loss of two masked ninjas. Mo Congfeng didn't know their names yet, he only knew that they were two members of the First Team!

Mo Congfeng didn't know whether he was responsible for their deaths in the battle just now. He actually misjudged the battle situation. Maybe if he had noticed the enemy's encirclement movement, they would not have died so hastily.

Danzo Shimura took out two storage scrolls and gave them to Mo Congfeng and Aburame Shio, asking Mo Congfeng to take away the bodies of the two masked ninjas.

"The battlefield is cruel. The only fate of mediocre people is death, but you who survived have proved that you are talented and strong! Especially you, Mo, your talent for wind escape is unique! Mo, after you go back, quickly look for people. It's best to choose a ninja from a secret family like Aburame Shio, they are generally good enough!" Shimura Danzo's voice was flat, without any sadness or even regret!

Mo Congfeng and Aburame Shixiong quietly put away the body, looked at each other, and then returned the two scrolls to Shimura Danzo, who waved his hand to refuse and asked Mo Congfeng to keep them temporarily.

At this moment, two ninjas arrived from afar. One of them was familiar to Mo Congfeng, Captain Hatake Sakumo! The other was a long-haired man with a pale face and a gloomy expression!

Shimura Danzo recognized the person and smiled, "Orochimaru, you are fine! Where are Tsunade and the others!" Then he nodded to Hatake Sakumo, "Captain Hatake, you did a good job!"

Orochimaru's expression was icy, "Teacher Danzo, your wind jutsu has become even more powerful!"

Shimura Danzo glanced at Mo Congfeng, then turned back to look at Orochimaru, "How are Tsunade and Jiraiya? Are they all safe?"

Orochimaru seemed to understand something, "Tsunade is still behind, with the medical ninja team! As for Jiraiya, he has other important matters, so he won't be returning with us for the time being!"

Everyone left their place and went to meet up with Tsunade and the others.

Is this Orochimaru? The man who knows a lot about the life span of ninjas, the disciple of the Third Hokage, Orochimaru, who is one of the Three Ninjas! Mo Congfeng followed behind Shimura Danzo and couldn't help but look at Orochimaru who was traveling with Shimura Danzo twice, and was soon spotted by Orochimaru.

Orochimaru slightly turned his head to look at Mo Congfeng, but did not say anything. He met Mo Congfeng's eyes head-on. Mo Congfeng felt that Orochimaru's eyes were too calm, with a sense of calmness that nothing mattered to him. Mo Congfeng felt that this person was very cunning, much like a ruthless king in a storybook novel!

Everyone hurried to meet up with Tsunade and her group who were waiting there. Mo Congfeng spotted Miss Shizuka among the crowd from afar and felt that she had lost some weight!

Shimura Danzo exchanged pleasantries with Tsunade and the medical ninjas, and then quickly prepared to return. Mo Congfeng quietly looked at the legendary Princess Tsunade, and felt that she looked ordinary, but there was a kind of nobility in her gestures, but she seemed a little depressed and had no interest in anything!

Mo Congfeng was a little curious about what the remaining three ninjas were like. Were they all the same, not interested in talking to others?

The team was bigger than ever before, and the group's return journey was very smooth. No one was brave enough to carry out any assassination or attack!

After arriving at the Land of Fire, the heavy rain finally stopped, and Mo Congfeng felt relieved. Aburame Shixiong also felt much better, and from time to time he released the bugs to let them dry their wings!

After about half an hour, the Konoha camp was finally in sight. Before arriving at the camp, the Third Hokage personally led a team to greet them. After briefly encouraging the Hatake Sakumo team and the medical ninja team, the Third Hokage welcomed Shimura Danzo, Tsunade and Orochimaru into the main tent!

Soon someone came to arrange everyone's activities. Mo Congfeng was also arranged in a separate tent. After a simple wash and changing into the standard ninja clothes, Mo Congfeng fell into a deep sleep!

Mo Congfeng slept soundly without any dreams. When he woke up, he felt his bones making crisp sounds, as if they were cheering!

After walking out of the tent, Mo Congfeng felt very hungry. After a simple inquiry, Mo Congfeng found the canteen in the camp. Mo Congfeng ordered a full meal, then found an empty seat and sat down. When he looked up, he saw Miss Shizuka eating!

Mo Congfeng felt a little embarrassed, but Jingxiang took the initiative to speak, "We prepared so much food, can we finish it?"

Mo Congfeng calmly replied, "I can finish it! I can finish it!"

Shizuka laughed, "I didn't expect that someone with your body would have such a good appetite. You're almost as good as the people of the Akimichi clan!"

Mo Congfeng felt that the quarrels and unhappiness of the past disappeared without a trace, and his heart became calm again!
