Chapter 21 Layout(1/3)
Returning to the root headquarters, Aburame Ryoma was waiting there for a long time.
"Lord Danzo."
When Danzo walked into the room, Aburame Ryoma greeted him respectfully.
Danzo waved his hand, sat on a chair, picked up a piece of information next to him and started reading.
"Still can't find out the specific details of that organization?"
"No, Orochimaru kept this secret very strictly."
Aburame Ryoma shook her head.
He continued to cooperate with Orochimaru, and only a handful of people at the root knew about it.
It's just that since Orochimaru left Konoha, his interest in cooperation with the roots has faded a lot.
Regarding this, Aburame Ryoma couldn't find any good solution. Orochimaru had already left Konoha, so naturally he could no longer use some means to restrict his development as before.
Now Orochimaru can be said to be as high as the sky and let the birds fly.
Danzo tapped the table with his fingers while looking at the information, and seemed to be considering the pros and cons of cooperating with Orochimaru.
Although Orochimaru's ambiguous attitude made him very dissatisfied, considering Orochimaru's importance to the roots, he still could not take some extreme measures.
Informing Hiruzen about Orochimaru's joining an organization was also to distract Hiruzen. It would not be easy for the ANBU to catch Orochimaru.
If Orochimaru was caught by the ANBU so easily, Danzo would only be disappointed.
"When Orochimaru left Konoha, he secretly learned many forbidden techniques in the Book of Sealings. You can continue to cooperate with him, but you must also maintain a certain degree of vigilance."
"Yes." Aburame Ryoma nodded, and then asked: "Is there still no way to solve Uchiha Itachi's matter?"
"Hiruzen's side is very tight. Even if it was revealed that Minazuki Yuzuki had a problem, he did not consider changing the team for Uchiha Itachi."
Rather, placing Itachi under the command of a jealous Jounin of Konoha would make it easier for Hiruzen to control Itachi's unfinished weapon.
"It's really strange."
Aburame Ryoma frowned.
Although Minazuki Yuzuki's strength is good, due to his strong jealousy, the things he can teach Itachi must be only insignificant things.
It stands to reason that after learning all this, the Third Hokage Hiruzen would immediately take action to thoroughly investigate Minazuki Yuzuki, and then transfer Itachi to another team for training to enhance Itachi's sense of belonging to the village.
You know, from the Ninja School days, Nebe and the Third Generation began to observe Uchiha Itachi.
However, the roots of this genius were discovered earlier.
Thanks to Danzo's sensitivity to 'darkness', he could tell at a glance that Itachi belonged to Gen's side.
If it is to prevent root problems, then it is more conducive to development to transfer the ferret to reliable people as early as possible.
However, the Third Hokage did not do this, so the truth behind this matter is intriguing.
"Uchiha Shisui."
After Danzo closed his eyes, he thought of something, his eyes suddenly opened, and a sharp light flashed.
"Uchiha Shisui? That Shunshen Shisui?"
"Yes. He is a descendant of Kagami, and Hiruzen has been in contact with him for a long time. According to our information, Itachi and Shisui seem to have a good relationship."
Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Minazuki Yuzuki is serious about training Itachi or not. The Third Hokage has already arranged for candidates to guide Itachi.
It would be easier to control Itachi if someone from the Uchiha clan guided him.
Even if he knew that there was something wrong with Minazuki Teak, the Third Hokage would not be anxious.
To him, it didn't matter whether there was anything wrong with Yuzuki Minazuki. A thorough investigation would only cover up other actions. The person who really taught Itachi was the Uchiha ninja with the name of "Shunshen Shisui".
"If that's the case, that's a bit of a problem."
Shunshen Shisui, the intelligence system at the root, is definitely a tricky and troublesome guy.
His teleportation technique is very special, and it is very fast and fierce. It is very similar to the original Konoha White Fang and Yellow Flash. They are both powerful ninjas who can win with speed.
What's more, the opponent also possesses the Sharingan, and it is said that the attainment of illusion is even better than the teleportation technique.
If you only focus on his teleportation technique and ignore his Sharingan genjutsu, you will definitely suffer a big loss.
As an old-timer, Aburame Ryoma had no confidence at all against Uchiha Shisui.
This made Aburame Ryoma very discouraged. The newcomers to Konoha were always plagued by monsters.
But the Uchiha Ruri, Hyuga Ayane, Namikaze Minato and others in those years, to the current Hatake Kakashi, Uchiha Shisui, and the ungrown Uchiha Itachi...
There are three from the Uchiha clan.
Aburame Ryoma secretly gasped, the Uchiha clan was simply too powerful.
After the fall of the Senju clan, the most powerful ninja clan in Konoha was Uchiha.
With Uchiha as his backer, contacting Itachi Uchiha was actually a gamble.
"Among the younger generation, the only one who can deal with Shunshen Shisui is probably Kakashi."
Danzo nodded. After all, he was a descendant of Kagami. He had received strict ninja education since he was a child. Naturally, it was not something that ordinary Uchiha ninjas could compare to.
It's a pity that such a talent does not belong to Gen, but is on the side of the Third Hokage.
"Even Kakashi, I'm afraid the chance of winning is not good."
"Kakashi is an important chess piece, so we can't act rashly at this time."
"I understand, now is not the time to use Kakashi."
"Well, are there any other talented people in the village that we can recruit?"
Danzo asked intentionally or unintentionally.
Because of the previous Hinata incident, Genbu is now closely watched by ANBU.
Even so, the root cannot sit still and wait for death, and continue to focus on expanding its power.
The roots can be said to be hungry for talents right now.
There is an urgent need to bring in fresh blood.
Danzo mentioned this matter, and Aburame Ryoma suddenly remembered something to answer: "There is a rather special junior among the Aburame clan. He has an unusual constitution for breeding insects."
"who is it?"
The Aburame clan is the head clan of Aburame Ryoma.
He is also one of the few radicals among the Aburame clan.
As one of the few powerful jounin in the Aburame clan, Ryoma Aburame also has great authority over the Aburame clan. It is easy to know what talents the clan has.
But not everyone is eligible to join the root.
If you don't have that quality in your eyes, joining the roots will only set them up.
What the root needs is the kind of talent with special characteristics. Otherwise, no matter how powerful the talent is, the root will not need it.
"Aburame takes the root. He just entered school this year. His body can contain nano-scale poisonous insects. Although he is not very good at mastering it, he has great potential."
"Are you able to join the root?"
"Yes, his ability is respected by many adults even among the Aburame clan."
"Awe...?"
Danzo murmured.
It's really rare for a group of adults to be in awe of the power of a child.
But if what Aburame Ryoma said is true, then the little ghost named Aburame Takegen has great potential.
"Let's wait until he graduates from the ninja school before recruiting him. He also needs to pass the basic assessment."
Roots control the "darkness" of Konoha. If they do not have the characteristics of "darkness", then no matter how outstanding the talent is, they will not be able to enter the root training.
Otherwise, not only will the subordinates be dissatisfied with Gen and resist their superiors in a fierce way, but such talents will also be buried, causing Konoha to lose an outstanding ninja.
"I understand, I will send someone to follow up."
Aburame Takegen is a member of the Aburame clan. If Ryoma Aburame wants to send someone to follow up, it won't be as troublesome as following up Itachi Uchiha, which requires a lot of procedures.
Moreover, bringing such a scary kid under his control would make some people in the clan feel at ease.
Such special talents can only give full play to their talents by entering special departments.
Many ninjas don't like the Roots organization, but even if they don't like it, they will regularly send talents to the Roots every year for special training.

"Then, thank you for the information, Jiraiya-sama. We take our leave."
In a hotel in Yuno Country, the ANBU bowed slightly to Jiraiya, then left the place with his subordinates and continued to perform the mission.
After the ANBU left, Jiraiya touched his chin.
"Did the other side of the village also notice what happened to that organization? I didn't expect Mr. Sarutobi to act so quickly..."
To be continued...
