At least it can be beneficial to the team spirit of Class 7.

After all, it would be difficult for him to truly entrust his back to Zuoi without knowing all about Zuoi.

"Strange, what kind of composition is this?"

Afterwards, Naruto briefly looked through the contents of the drawing book, with a strange look on his face.

Although the painting style is very cute, and from an outsider's perspective, there is basically nothing wrong with it, but I don't know why, but it always gives people a very strong sense of violation.

Sakura pointed to the content in the picture book and pointed out the interesting things she found:...

"This should record the growth history of the two teenagers. For example, the pictures on the right page starting from both sides are the teenagers on the cover and the bottom respectively, but only the picture on the left page keeps changing enemies, and every time it changes, the two teenagers

They will take away the opponent's equipment and weapons in the picture on the left page and start the next battle."

After Sakura's analysis, Tenzo nodded in approval.

"Indeed, from this point of view, they are two different teenagers, but they have very similar growth histories. They both grew up by defeating their enemies... But if this continues, the two people in the story will meet sooner or later. Sakura, turn over

Go to the middle and take a look.”

"good."

Sakura turned to the middle part, and the expressions of the three of them were suddenly stunned.

The picture on the right page shows a faceless black-haired boy, while the picture on the left page is blank without any characters.

It stands to reason that the two people who keep defeating the enemy will eventually meet on the middle drawing. However, only one person appears, a faceless man, and the left side is a blank drawing.

There is no doubt that this black-haired boy with no face is Sakai.

The white-haired boy does not appear in the picture on the left page.

"What's going on? Why does this boy who looks like Sakai have no face? And where is the boy with white hair?"

Naruto blinked, confused by this.

Sakura and Tenzo fell silent for a while, perhaps thinking of something.

Faceless means having no expression. Think of Sakai’s fake smile that hangs on his face from time to time. Strictly speaking, isn’t it a face that does not require expression?

A faceless person.

An expressionless person.

Lose your name, lose your feelings.

There is no past and no future.

This is the root.

"Is it because I can't think of the final ending that I haven't started painting yet?"

Sakura closed the picture book and let out a long breath.

The white-haired boy who appears above is probably a very important person to Sawai.

"It seems that the relationship inside is more complicated than we imagined."

Tianzang scratched his head and sighed.

He has some guesses of his own, but some things are not yet absolutely certain.

But one thing is very clear: Sakai did not completely cut off his past like the people at the root.

In his heart, he retained a memory that he could not let go of no matter what.

"Captain Yamato, what kind of organization is this?"

This is the first time Sakura has asked this question.

She realized that she actually didn't know as much as she thought about this organization hidden in Konoha's secrets.

I can only get a general idea from some words of others - that is, the power of the roots is very huge, so huge that even the Hokage has to restrain his hands when dealing with them.

And such a description is enough to prove how terrifying Gen is.

A huge force that can challenge the Hokage can be regarded as Konoha's second largest political body.

And their leader's power may not be weaker than that of the Hokage. He belongs to the darkness, Konoha's second 'Hokage'!

Just as Tianzang was about to answer, this sentence came from the door of the ward:

"The root is Danzo-sama's private military organization. Joining this organization means sacrificing everything, dignity and even life for Danzo-sama. For members of the organization, Danzo-sama's orders come from the will of God.

.”…

Naruto and the other two turned to look at the door of the ward, and found Zuoi quietly appearing there at some point, with his usual smile on his pale face.

"Sakai? When did you come?"

"Well... I just came back from a walk. Thank you very much for coming to visit me."

Zuo Jing walked in with a smile.

Sakura took a step forward and handed the drawing book in her hand to Sakai.

"Here, this is your precious thing."

"..."

Sakai lowered his head and noticed that the drawing book in Sakura's hand was the one he had lost.

For a moment, the smile on his face became much more real.

Although the joy of regaining something was not shown on his face, it did fill his chest and made him feel at ease.

"Thanks."

"Actually, no need... I'm sorry, I read the above without your permission."

Sakura smiled awkwardly.

Sakai did not express any opinion on this.

Compared with the joy of regaining something lost, there was no need for him to dwell on this small mistake.

Besides, even if the above things were known to others, it wouldn't matter. At most, they would find the story of his paintings very boring.

"Speaking of which, the person on one side is you, right? Who is the person on the other side?"

Naruto asked.

Regarding Naruto's question, Sakai was silent for a moment and replied: "It's my brother."

"elder brother?"

His answer surprised the three of them.

They didn't expect Sakai to have an older brother.

"However, he is not a blood-related brother, but the brother I grew up with in the roots. He and I are both orphans. In order to better survive in the roots, we chose to depend on each other for survival and warmth."

There was a hint of darkness in Zuo Jing's eyes.

If you have not been in the roots, you cannot know the suffocating darkness there.

The Danzo he is loyal to is a dark ninja who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

The root is not a charity organization that adopts orphans. Only strong orphans can escape from being abandoned and the fate of being used as experimental subjects.

The strong survive and the weak die, it is an extremely dark primitive jungle.

"Really? It can be seen that you and your brother have a good relationship."

Sakura didn't know how to answer the question, so she could only say this.

"Of course, he taught me how to survive in the roots, and I respect him very much."

Zuo Jing nodded and did not deny this.

"So, where is he now?"

"Dead. The cause of death was illness."

Zuo Jing narrowed his eyes and smiled.

This smile made Naruto and Sakura feel a little uncomfortable.

"Well, having said that, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you..."

In order to ease the tense atmosphere, Naruto began to thank Zuojingdao.

"You're welcome, I just received the task of protecting you."

Sakai looked at Naruto with a smile and said this calmly.

"Zuo Jing, you..."

Naruto frowned.

He felt that Zukai in front of him was like a cold machine that was constantly working, without the slightest trace of a stranger.

"Sakai is just a made-up name for the purpose of integrating into Team 7. It can also be said to be a code name. I have no name. I am Danzo-sama's hands and feet, and Gen's minions. I... do not exist in this world. Naru
