Although he was an ambitious person, it was undeniable that Danzo was a very responsible person. After taking Zhang Miao as his disciple, he immediately began to show him around.
"Ryunosuke, this is Anbu departement training division, also known as the 'Root'. And the ninjas in front of you are all ninjas belonging to the 'Root'. They only listen to my orders!"
Of course, Zhang Miao knew the about the Root, but he could not show it at this time. He could only pretend to be puzzled.
"'Root'? Why is it called the root?"
Danzo seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Miao's question, so as soon as Zhang Miao finished speaking, he immediately nodded with a smile.
"The reason why it's called the 'Root 'is because it supports the big tree of the village of Konoha from below and is deeply rooted in the earth. It's the will of us 'Root'."
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, the two ninjas who were kneeling on the ground with their heads lowered also spoke.
"The so-called 'Root' has no name or feelings!"
"They have no past and no future. Only a missions."
Hearing the words of the two, Zhang Miao suddenly grinned, and a trace of disdain flashed across his face.
" So this is the group of idiots who were used by Danzo!"
Zhang Miao's disdainful expression did not escape Danzo's eyes, but he was not angry. Instead, he waved at his two subordinates.
"All of you can leave now!"
"Yes!"
After receiving Danzo's order, the two Root Anbus immediately used the Body Flicker jutsu and disappeared. Only then did Danzo look at Zhang Miao again.
"Come with me!"
After saying that, Danzo turned around and left. Seeing this scene, Zhang Miao hurriedly followed behind Danzo with a calm face.
Seeing Zhang Miao's calm face, Danzo nodded with satisfaction.
"Your wisdom and courage are better than those ordinary children, but this is not enough. You need to have enough strength, so that you can become the future leader of the 'Root'!"
"The leader of 'Root'?" Hearing Danzo's words, Zhang Miao immediately widened his eyes and revealed a look of surprise. "Master, you are talking about me?"
"Yes!"
Looking at Zhang Miao's surprised look, Danzo laughed again.
"As you can see, the ninjas of the Root' are just a group of machines that obey orders. Such people are only suitable to be used as tools and can not be the leader, so I chose you!"
"So that's how it is!" Hearing Danzo's words, Zhang Miao immediately showed excitement and nodded. "I understand. I will definitely work hard, Master!"
Although Zhang Miao looked very excited at this time, he mocked Danzo and the Root in his heart.
"I don't care about such lousy organization!"
Zhang Miao was not very interested in the Root because in his opinion, the so-called "Root" was just a "trash organization" that was used to compete for power and profit.
Even the elites he sent to assassinate Hiruzen could be killed by Kakashi alone. What hope could there be for such an organization?
In fact, the "Root" was not as unbearable as Zhang Miao imagined. As the dark forces of the Konoha, even Hiruzen did not dare to underestimate the root. As for Zhang Miao, he was just spoiled by the recruitment system.
After all, there was some meat to eat. Who was willing to eat cold steamed buns?
Danzo didn't know what Zhang Miao was thinking. Seeing his excitement, he thought that he had been persuaded by him. He smiled and nodded again.
"Well, it's good that you understand. Then from now on, I will teach you how to become a qualified ninja. First of all, you have to know that the foundation of Ninjutsu is Chakra, and Chakra..."
Before Danzo could finish his words, he heard a burst of white smoke beside him. Danzo turned around and found that there were two people who looked exactly the same as him.
Seeing this scene, Danzo's eyes widened.
"This is... Clone and Transformation jutsu?"
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, the two "Danzo" standing next to him immediately turned into white smoke and disappeared, revealing Zhang Miao who was standing in the same place.
Looking at Danzo's surprised expression, Zhang Miao suddenly grinned.
"Hehe, Master, Ninjutsu like Three Basic Jutsu is very simple. I only need to see someone use them once to learn it. You should just teach me the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu! I am interested in that technique!"
Zhang Miao said that he wanted to learn the Multiple Shadow Clone jutsu after careful consideration, because he felt that if even Naruto, that "Ninjutsu Idiot", could learn this technique, so there was no reason for him to not learn it!
But after hearing Zhang Miao's words, Danzo frowned.
"Multiple Shadow Clone jutsu is a B -rank Ninjutsu developed by the Second Hokage. It belongs to the category of forbidden techniques. You are still too young, so don't bite off more than you can chew. Since you have already learned the Three Basic Jutsu, then I will teach you taijutsu. Come with me!"
Saying this, Danzo took Zhang Miao along a secret passage and left the base of the Root. They came to an empty ground outside the village and then Danzo nodded to Zhang Miao.
"Let's do more and talk less, these two will be your opponents!"
At this moment, Danzo waved to the two Anbus responsible for guarding the passage.
"C6, D12, this is my disciple Ryunosuke. From today on, you two are his opponents. Remember, you can only use taijutsu, not ninjutsu!"
"Yes, Danzo-sama!" After the two of them agreed, they came in front of Zhang Miao and took a stance. "Ryunosuke-sama, pardon us!"
Hearing the two of them addressing him highly, Zhang Miao immediately raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Danzo.
"Master, If I can defeat them, will you can teach me the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu?"
"Okay." Hearing Zhang Miao's question, Danzo frowned again, "C6 dan D12 are the elite Chuunin of the village, so you..."
When Danzo finished speaking, he heard a loud shout coming from the side.
"Leaf Strong Whirlwind!"
With this loud shout, Zhang Miao's body suddenly spun like a snail. Before Danzo could see his movements clearly, he heard two loud sound. C6 and D12 were already lying on the ground.
After withdrawing, Zhang Miao's face was not red or panting at all. He first clapped his hands and then looked at Danzo with a smile.
"To be honest with you, Master, My taijutsu is pretty good. Even Itachi, who has awakened the Sharingan, is not my opponent. By the way, master, what were you going to say just now?"
Danzo: "...."
"You have already knocked them down, what else can I say?"
Looking at the smile on Zhang Miao's face, Danzo immediately revealed a complicated expression. There was joy and depression in his expression, but in the end, he only sighed.
"Sigh, you can go back today. I will teach you the Multiple Shadow Clone Jutsu tomorrow!"
"Oh!" Hearing Danzo's words, Zhang Miao immediately nodded, "Then I will go back first. I still have a few sculptures to make!"
"Is that so?" Upon hearing Zhang Miao's words, Danzo's expression changed, and a smile appeared on his face. "What are you making them for?"
"Of course I'm selling them for money!" When Danzo asked about his job, Zhang Miao's face immediately revealed an excited expression. "My sculptures are pretty popular you know! All of them except your sculpture is loved by everyone!"
Danzo: "...."
"What do you mean other than my sculpture? Can't you be a little kinder?"
As if seeing that Danzo was a little unhappy, Zhang Miao laughed again.
"Haha, actually, Master, you don't have to be depressed. I am very smart. I just used a little trick and let a fool buy all your sculptures, earning myself a total of three million... Eh? Master, your face doesn't look very good. Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Danzo: "....."
