The Change of the Root

Chapter 6 The Changes at the Root (Please read further, vote, and give monthly tickets)

Unrolling the reel, Xingxia Xiu's gaze swept over it quickly.

The scroll contains a wealth of information, including not only the order of hand seals, but also many techniques and detailed explanations of them.

These detailed explanations were probably left behind by Hashirama Senju himself, and Danzo copied them all.

The techniques are also very diverse, ranging from conventional ninjutsu such as Wood Wall, Wood Clone, and Vajra Wood Summoning, to Tree World Advent, Wood Dragon Technique, and even True Thousand Hands, there is something for everyone.

However, Hoshino Hide felt it was a bit of a pity that Yamato's Four Pillars of Destiny technique was so bad.

After all, this is an essential skill for going out on missions and setting up camp in the wild.

"My main training going forward will focus on Wind Release and Wood Release."

Hoshino Hideaki did not give up Wind Release just because he mastered Wood Release.

He knew very well that his Wood Release might be stronger than Yamato's, but far inferior to Hashirama Senju's, and that it was impossible for him to rely solely on Wood Release at the moment.

Wind Release is something I already possessed, so I already had a solid foundation.

Moreover, disregarding unreliable status bar cheat codes, Xingxia Xiu felt that if he wanted to go further and master more nature transformations, trying to fuse and cultivate bloodline limits might be the only right path.

As for crooked paths and evil paths.

Of course, it's about gouging out eyes, stealing power banks, stealing the Ten-Tails, and stealing the Otsutsuki.

……

Collecting his thoughts, Xingxia Xiu seriously began to read the Wood Release scroll from beginning to end.

It's still about the Wooden Ingot Wall technique. The annotations next to it are very detailed and more accessible than Danzo's explanation. Danzo's previous explanations seemed to be a summary, simplifying the complex and leaving only the most essential content.

However, Hoshino liked the annotations left by Hashirama Senju, even though they seemed a bit rambling.

After looking at it several times, Xingxia Xiu finally put away the scroll and then slowly formed a hand seal.

Wood escape-Wooden spindle wall!

With a final clasp of his hands, Xingxia Xiu channeled Wood Release chakra into the ground. Immediately afterward, bent logs rose from the ground in front of him and formed an archway.

This form is exactly the same as the wooden ingot wall that Yamato used in actual combat, as remembered by Hoshino Shu.

However, having already mastered the ability to perform techniques, Hoshino Shu enhanced his control over chakra, thus altering his form.

Looking at the arched wall in front of him, Hoshino suddenly thought of Kakashi's earthen wall with a dog's head.

Why don't we create something unique ourselves?

Carving a dragon seems more sophisticated.

"It can also train chakra control... I'll try it after I've mastered the ninjutsu."

Xingxia Xiu muttered to himself, then continued his cultivation.

He then tried arch-shaped wooden ingot walls and four-sided wooden ingot walls to deepen his proficiency and control over the technique.

With this kind of training, he was able to use the Wooden Ingot Wall technique faster and faster, constantly approaching his fastest speed for forming hand seals.

at the same time.

Inside the Hokage's office.

Danzo told Hiruzen Sarutobi that he wanted to expand the Root organization.

"Expand the root system?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment.

Recently, undercurrents have been surging in the ninja world, and the pressure on the Anbu has increased significantly. He originally wanted to expand the power of the Anbu.

However, now that the Konoha regime is stable, his position is unshakeable, and he can indeed further rely on his friend Danzo.

With one person inside and one outside, the pressure on Konoha will be greatly reduced, as will the pressure on him.

Danzo saw through Hiruzen Sarutobi's intention and immediately said, "Konoha is a great tree bathed in sunlight, but darkness inevitably grows from it. The roots are the guardians hidden in the darkness, beings even darker than the Anbu."

"Hiruzen, you protect the village in the sunlight, while I protect the village in the darkness."

"Root will be a hidden sword in the darkness, eliminating all enemies, including those within Konoha, to protect the village!"

Danzo had this idea before, but it was still vague. However, after being reminded by Hoshino, it became clear to him and he determined his position in Konoha.

Light and darkness?

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered silently, his mind racing as he weighed the pros and cons.

Danzo continued, "Hiruzen, now that Konoha has completely stabilized, we also need to eliminate some of the internal cancers."

"Now all the major ninja villages are expanding their armies, and war will probably break out sooner or later."

"We must eliminate internal threats now in order to fully address the changing situation in the ninja world."

"You can leave these things to me!"

This is speaking frankly and openly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately said, "I will allow you to expand your Root, but I will absolutely not allow you to target your comrades."

Danzo said in a deep voice, "Root protects Konoha and only targets enemies of Konoha. Anyone who is an enemy of the village should be eliminated."

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded: "In that case, let's do it!"

"In case of an emergency, prior notification is not required."

A smile flickered in Danzo's eyes: "Hiruzen, with our cooperation, no one can harm Konoha!"

……

Time flies, and Xingxia Xiu spent the entire morning practicing the Wooden Ingot Wall technique.

After lunch, he returned to his room at the Root base to continue training with the Rasengan.

The training for the Rasengan was much more difficult than Hoshino Shu had anticipated.

Of course, he had Naruto's training process as a reference, which greatly reduced the difficulty, for example, by using shadow clones to coordinate.

The latest novel is first published here!

However, Hoshino Shu's purpose was not only to master this ninjutsu, but also to train his chakra control, so he did not try to take shortcuts.

Making dumplings with one hand is cool, just like driving a Ferrari with one hand.

An afternoon passed quickly.

After setting down the balloon that was still intact, Xingxia Xiu got up and stretched.

Ninjutsu training is too boring, so he plans to go for a stroll in the streets of Konoha.

However, just as Xingxia Xiu was about to put on her makeup, there was a knock on the door.

Upon opening the door, I saw Nakamura wearing a mask.

"A, we have a mission!"

Nakamura disappeared after he finished speaking.

"You're sending me on a mission so quickly..."

Xingxia Xiu was secretly puzzled, but she acted quickly, changed her clothes, and put on the ghost mask.

After a while.

When Hoshino arrived at the meeting place, he found four people already standing in front of Danzo.

In addition, there were a dozen or so ninjas with the same attire as the Root members, but with distinctly different demeanors.

Newbie?

Xingxia Xiu glanced at it, then looked away and joined the ranks.

Danzo, expressionless, said, "The Third Hokage has approved the expansion of Root, and it will no longer be just a training institution for the Anbu. It will carry out missions just like the Anbu, protecting Konoha in the shadows."

Xingxia Xiu was shocked when she heard this.

Danzo was incredibly fast; he took care of Hiruzen Sarutobi so quickly.

They really are best buddies!

"However, the expansion of the roots might be exactly what Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted."

Xingxia Xiu secretly speculated.

At this moment, Danzo said, "From now on, A, the five of you will become squad leaders."

"Ten, the list!"

Shimura Daichi, who was standing next to Danzo, immediately took out a list and began to announce it.

Atsushi Sarutobi, codename Sarutobi.

Ryo Inuzuka, codenamed Three Heads.

Oil Girl Flying One, codename Flying Insect.

Soon, Xingxia Xiu heard the names and code names of three of his subordinates.

He was curious whether these people were people Danzo himself wanted to come and temporarily strengthen Root's power, or people Hiruzen Sarutobi had sent in.

But it doesn't seem to matter.

For Danzo, they were all consumables!
