Ever since he learned the news of Ryoma's sacrifice, he felt that he was really tired and his mentality began to age.

Even if you are in the dark world of Konoha, you will inevitably feel sad and lost for your subordinates who have followed you for decades and have served you faithfully.

Even though the rule of eradicating human desires is adhered to at the root, it is to prevent ninjas from being dragged down by unnecessary emotions while performing tasks.

However, how can it be possible for human beings to really give up emotions.

I usually don't notice such emotions, but I always reveal my true emotions inadvertently.

It's part of being human.

It's something that even he, the root leader, can't give up.

"Why should Danzo-sama be so pessimistic? Although our Konoha is weak now, we have gained a stable space for development. Next, we must strengthen the armed forces of the village."

The wind in the mountain spoke.

"Of course a strong village is a top priority, but I am even more worried. This so-called development space was deliberately given to us by Chiba Shiraishi. In Konoha, there is a nail in the country of ghosts, and his position in the ANBU is not low!

"

A cold light flashed in Danzo's eyes.

"Anbu!?"

Shanfeng looked shocked.

"There is a problem with the civil strife in the Kingdom of Waves. There is a squad of ANBU stationed there, but it was not until after the civil strife broke out in the Kingdom of Waves that the ANBU team sent the news back. This is because someone secretly intercepted their messages early, which caused us

It’s impossible to get information in time in the Land of Waves. In ANBU, there are five people who can do it.”

After hearing this, Shan Feng looked solemn.

Of the five people Danzo was referring to, he naturally knew which ones were the most suspicious.

The ANBU chief... and the four ANBU captains.

Only the five of them have such authority in ANBU.

"Could it be Kakashi? It is said that Kakashi's father Konoha White Fang was once the mentor of Chiba Shiraishi."

Shanfeng asked.

"I thought so too, but Kakashi's position is wavering between Konoha and Orochimaru. In addition, Hiruzen and I pay a lot of attention to him, and he once risked his life to save Jiraiya.

Even when the fourth generation was alive, he also gave Kakashi high recognition."

Danzo shook his head.

Kakashi's contribution to Konoha is undoubtedly outstanding.

Moreover, he had received personal guidance from the Fourth Hokage. Even if he was bewitched by Orochimaru, Danzo believed that Konoha's proportion would be greater in Kakashi's heart.

Therefore, Danzo was more suspicious of the four ANBU squad leaders than Kakashi, the head of the ANBU.

In addition to Kakashi, the minister, these four ANBU captains also hold high positions of authority.

As long as they use the power in their hands a little, they can keep Konoha from knowing what is happening in the Country of Waves.

"It seems that ANBU will usher in another bloody storm next."

Shanfeng felt a little emotional.

As a branch of the ANBU, the Roots fought fiercely with the ANBU. However, seeing that there was a big problem with the ANBU's management system, as a member of the Roots, he was a little unhappy.

"Hiruzen's side has already started investigating. Let's also pay attention to our personnel and find out as soon as possible which of the ANBU squad leaders is the mole planted by the Kingdom of Demons."

ANBU is an extremely important department with real power in Konoha. If there is an insider or someone like a squad leader in this department, it will undoubtedly cause major flaws in Konoha's intelligence.

"yes."

"Besides, let Kabuto contact Orochimaru. I need to start new cooperation with him."

Danzo was silent for a moment before giving this order.

As the current elder of Konoha, he should cut off all contact with the traitorous ninja.

But Orochimaru's genius thinking and creative abilities are urgently needed.

Rather than using Orochimaru's talents, the relationship between Genbe and Orochimaru is more like an equal partnership.

Even if Orochimaru became a traitor, he still maintained such a close relationship.

Orochimaru was once a member of the Roots, and he knew very well that the Roots' behavior and unscrupulous way of becoming stronger were different from most Konoha ninjas.

This time, the war in the Kingdom of Rain made him realize that the strength of his roots was still insufficient.

The will of the ninja was lost to steel.

This was something Danzo could not imagine in the past.

The Kingdom of Kong, which used unknown technology, was also destroyed by Konoha's ninja attack.

But now the industrial technology displayed by the Kingdom of Ghosts made him feel a strong crisis.

How many such weapons are there hidden in the Kingdom of Ghosts?

He didn't think that the war in the Kingdom of Rain would make the Kingdom of Ghosts go all out.

"With the sudden end of the Rain Country War, the traditional arms markets of various countries will be hit by an unprecedented impact. Especially the Iron Country, which is famous for its iron smelting skills in the ninja world, it is estimated that starting from next month, the share of the arms trade will There will be many cuts. Many factories in the Iron Kingdom will close down as a result, and countless traditional craftsmen will lose their jobs."

The lost share will be completely occupied by the military of the Kingdom of Ghosts.

Danzo could not imagine how much this would benefit the Kingdom of Demons.

According to his idea, he wanted to show other countries the power of the tailed beast capsule developed by Genbu, so that Genbu could get more research funds.

It can be said that the promotion plan of tail beast capsules failed.

Although it is not that no one cares about it, the weapons of the Kingdom of Ghosts are definitely the most popular.

The walls inside the cave are like snake skin, and even the candlesticks used for lighting are in the shape of snakes. The sculpture-like snakes open their vertical pupils, like living creatures.

For those in the know, these snake-like candlesticks are not only lighting objects, but also monitors.

The dark yellow light makes the road in the cave base full of eerie feeling.

In the room at the end of the road, there are various large experimental equipments placed. There are multiple cylindrical glasses more than two meters high, filled with a pale green solution. In this strangely colored solution, not only is it soaked Humanoid creatures, as well as various animals. Judging from the fact that they are tightly closed but still breathing, they are in a strange state of sleep.

"No matter how many times I see it, it's like another world."

The young man wearing black-rimmed glasses felt sincerely after seeing the things presented in this room.

"Why, are you also interested in my reincarnation technique, Kabuto?"

Calling out the name of the boy with glasses, Orochimaru's voice was hoarse and magnetic, and his skin was as transparent as a candle, with no trace of the blood color that a normal person should have.

"No, I'm still very young and don't have such a strong need for immortality. Besides, that's the result of Lord Orochimaru's research, isn't it?"

Kabuto pushed up his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled slightly.

"You are still as dishonest as ever. Sure enough, it was a very correct choice to take you out of your roots."

Orochimaru looked at Kabuto with admiration. He was always full of expectations for talented ninjas.

After saying this, Orochimaru paused briefly and got down to business.

"So, is it important for Danzo to ask you to return to me now? Generally speaking, there is no need for you, the correspondent, to return to me in person."

The importance of pocket is undoubtedly very important.

He is the only important person left in Konoha who can talk directly to Danzo, and he is not an outcast who can be discarded casually.

Moreover, Kabuto's medical ninjutsu also helped him and Danzo solve many problems.

"Danzo hopes to get technical help from Orochimaru-sama."

Kabuto said with a smile.

"Is it because he saw the industrial technology of the Demon Country that he felt out of control? Indeed, he is also an old man. Even though his body has undergone surgery, the power of the Wood Release and Sharingan is too strong. If he persists,

Ten years is his limit."

Orochimaru sighed.

Life is such a fragile thing.

He could really feel Danzo's inner anxiety.

Maybe Danzo still has many backup plans, but time waits for no one.

To today's young people, Danzo's generation is already an antique.

The reason why Naruto Sarutobi Hiruzen is still known to everyone is because of his identity as Hokage.

If you really retire, within a few years, no one will care about you unless you are an acquaintance.

And Danzo has been hiding in the darkness for decades, and this forbearance is indeed scary.

Compared to himself, who is a snake player, Danzo is the real poisonous snake hiding in the dark, and will come out of its hole to bite people at any time, regardless of time and place.

"Then Orochimaru-sama's answer is..."
