Ten minutes had passed since the agreed time of ten o'clock. Just when Shimura Danzo was getting impatient and was getting up to go home, his subordinates told him that Uchiha Liuyun had arrived at the Root.

Shimura Danzo suppressed his anger and sat back on his chair.

Soon, Liuyun, led by a Root ninja, entered a relatively closed room and met the Root leader - Shimura Danzo.

To be honest, Liuyun hated this kind of environment because he felt insecure in the Root base camp. He still understood that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall, but he had no choice but to come tonight.

If a fight really broke out in such a place, it would be difficult for Liuyun to even run away with his current strength. There were no trash ninjas in the Root, and almost everyone was an elite selected from a hundred.

The reason why Liuyun dared to come tonight was mainly because he knew that Danzo would not touch him at this juncture.

"Meetings, Lord Danzo..."

Liuyun took the initiative to bow and salute.

"Not only did you beat my people, but you also exceeded the time you set. Is this our Konoha hero? Isn't he a bit too domineering?"

Danzo spoke expressionlessly, and his voice could not tell whether he was happy or angry, but it was obvious that what he said was not a good thing.

"Sorry..."

Liuyun lowered his head slightly and admitted his mistake, but he had no intention of explaining at all.

Danzo looked at him coldly, but Liuyun's eyes were motionless, and it was unknown what he was looking at. Both sides were silent for a long time, and the scene fell into a strange silence.

"Do you know what the root is?"

Danzo asked lightly after a long silence.

"I know..." Liuyun nodded gently.

"Oh? Then tell me." Danzo's tone had a slight change of emotion.

"Konoha is like a healthy tree, the villagers are like the leaves of the tree, the ninjas are the branches of the tree, the Hokage is the trunk of the tree, and the roots... are equivalent to the root system of the tree."

"The roots cannot see the light, but a healthy tree cannot be without the roots that hide underground to absorb nutrients."

Hearing this, Danzo nodded slightly involuntarily, obviously very satisfied with Liuyun's remarks.

Danzo was sure that no one would say this to him, not even the Hokage, but this boy had such a 'deep' understanding of the roots, and Danzo felt that this person must recognize the roots.

"The so-called Root is the most important underground organization of Konoha. What Konoha ninjas can do, Root ninjas can do. What Konoha can't do, Root can also do..."

"Hidden names, doing many things that ordinary people hate, silently devoting themselves to Konoha but not being understood by others, a group of 'carrying heavy loads' who are willing to hide in the dark, the 'lifeline of the tree' who are really doing practical things for Konoha, this... is the Root!"

As soon as these remarks came out, Liuyun and Danzo unconsciously got goose bumps.

Liuyun got goose bumps because he disgusted himself...

Danzo got goose bumps because... he believed Liuyun's wonderful remarks praising the Root!

Danzo wanted to ask Liuyun what kind of organization the Root was, and then explain to him the nature of the Root organization and its greatness, and then invite him to join it.

Who knew that Liuyun's insights into the Root were even more profound than his, the founder of the Root.

If such a person joins the Root, there is no need to brainwash him. With such an awareness, Danzo can easily control him...

"Who told you these words?" The suspicious Danzo couldn't help asking.

"???"

Liuyun's face showed a puzzled look, but he silently complained in his heart: This is what the 5.5th generation of the original pot shadow told me.

"Who would tell me this? This is of course my own idea. Konoha has the "will of fire" on the surface, but also the "will of the root" in secret. These two wills complement each other, one bright and one dark, which is why Konoha is so strong now!"

"Pah, pah, pah..."

Liuyun's "heartfelt words" made Danzo couldn't help but applaud.

"You are the first person who can truly understand me, and the only one who can comprehend the existence of the 'will of the root' without direct contact with the 'root'!"

"Your words make me feel very happy. Come and help me... child!"

Danzo said and directly issued an invitation.

"..."

Liuyun was silent for a while.

"What? Don't you want to join the 'root'? Are you kidding me with your words just now?" Danzo frowned, and his eyes turned cold.

"Do you think I'm making it up?" Liuyun glanced at him and asked back.

"Then why don't you want to join the 'root'?Join the Root?"

Danzo actually didn't think that these words were teasing him, or made up to please him.

Insightful words are all well thought out. Words made up on the spot will definitely have problems. In Danzo's eyes, Liuyun's words have interpreted the "will of the root". He must have some understanding and agreement with the root.

"It's not that I don't want to, but I can't..." Liuyun said with an embarrassed look.

"Reason?"

Danzo spoke concisely.

"With my ability and current reputation, it is not suitable for me to stay in the root to develop. My role is more suitable for playing on the front battlefield. Besides, the third generation Hokage will not allow me to join the root..."

Liuyun spoke lightly, and even brought up the person that Shimura Danzo didn't want to hear the most as a shield.

"Why do you need the permission of the Hokage to join my root? If I say you can do it, then you can do it. "Danzo said in a deep voice, suppressing his anger.

"I am the granddaughter of the Third Hokage after all. I can't join the Root without saying hello to him, right? People will say that I am disrespectful to my elders."

"Of course, if the Third Hokage allows me to join the Root, then I can come to you at any time to report. After all, it doesn't matter where I work. The Root and the Anbu are both core organizations that work for Konoha. It's the same for me..."

Liuyun said with a hidden and sinister smile. What he said was clearly saying:

How can your authority be as great as the Hokage? If you want to transfer people, you must first get the consent of the Hokage, okay... If the Hokage says yes, then this can be done. If the Hokage says no, then you can't say yes either.

He said this without even joining his teacher Orochimaru. To deal with people like Danzo, a Third Hokage is really enough...

Facing the insurmountable "mountain" of the Hokage, Danzo had no other way except to be incompetent and furious.

Liuyun could even foresee Danzo saying to the Hokage, "You will regret it," and then there was a scene where he slammed the door and left with a "bang".

After hearing these two words from Liuyun, Shimura Danzo's breathing became much heavier, and his chest rose and fell obviously, but his long-term training in cultivating qi played a role, so he didn't lose his composure on the spot.

Besides, Liuyun was not the target of his anger now... After all, he had said that if the Hokage agreed to let him join, it would be the same wherever he worked... He did not reject the Root.

The one who restricted him from joining the Root was Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Third Hokage who had more power than him!
