Due to staying in the darkness all year round, Root Ninja had a dark aura around them.
The layout of Root's base was even more oppressive.
Normally, when Ninja entered Root's base, his hands and feet would go soft, and a kind of fear would arise in his heart.
Root's pressure was not something that Anbu could compare to.
However, Naruto's elegance and calmness were so dazzling.
The more Danzo looked at Naruto, the more pleasing he became.
When he was young, he was also confident and calm.
"Actually, from the beginning, Root was the most suitable choice for you." He smiled and looked at Naruto.
"Although there are many twists and turns in the middle, the result is good." Naruto smiled.
"Yes, you are right." Naruto's words implied that Root was a good result. This flattery made Danzo very happy.
"Then Sensei, I don't know what I need to do after joining Root. I believe you also know what I am thinking. I want to become stronger as soon as possible." Naruto's face was relaxed and he asked softly.
Naruto was still very afraid of Root Base.
Danzo and Orochimaru had always had a cooperative relationship, and they did not reject all kinds of human experiments. They did not exclude the possibility that he would do human experiments on them.
After all, if he went deep into Root's base, no matter how powerful Sandaime was, he would not be able to do everything.
There was nothing wrong with being cautious.
"Just like what I told you before, I will give you a lot of freedom. The commission you accepted before was too low-level. Without the experience of life and death, you can not become a qualified Ninja. I will give you a chance to grow up, and through the high-difficulty entrustment, you will experience the experience of death."
"Of course, to you, these commissions are not simple. You may encounter powerful enemies, or you may do things against ethics and morality. Use the weak civilians as hostages, seduce the target to appear, kill the civilians, provoke the target, or experiment with the bodies of the civilians."
"The commission of Root is something that ordinary Ninja would not dare to touch, and what you have to do is to complete it."
Danzo's tone became calm as if he was telling a sparse and ordinary thing.
His turbid eyes stared at Naruto's eyes, but he was surprised to see gentleness and calmness in them.
"I understand. I will fulfill your expectations, Danzo Sensei." Naruto's tone was still the same as before as if he had heard a few ordinary words.
Danzo turned around and walked out with a hunched back. His voice was getting further and further away,
"Uzumaki Naruto, you are more outstanding than I thought. You can go now. Your teammates are waiting for you outside."
When he was about to enter the darkness, Danzo stopped and his hoarse voice echoed in the dark space.
"The mission of Root is to become the eye of Konoha, killing all potential threats in the cradle. Growup well, Naruto, don't let me down. In the future, you will be the leader of Root."
Danzo's voice passed through the rotten air and then went further and further.
"Clang-Clang! Clang-Clang!" The sound of a walking stick rang out again. Soon, Danzo disappeared into the darkness and disappeared without a trace of Kage.
"Leader Root?"
Naruto silently watched Danzo leave, a smile on his face. His eyes under the thick lenses were calm as usual.
Naruto was very curious as to why Danzo was so persistent in taking him as a disciple.
At first.
He thought that Danzo was only coveting his Kekkei Genkai and Kyubi in his body.
But now, it seemed that Danzo was really nurturing him as an heir.
Was he hoping to become the leader of the roots in the future to assist him?
I didn't expect the leader of the root to be so naive.
When the cold darkness has an extra emotion, the body is full of flaws.
Naruto chuckled, turned around and walked out of the room.
Walking out of Root base, the dazzling sunlight made his already familiar dark eyes slightly narrow.
The fragrance of the clear wind flowed through the tip of his nose, washing away the rot in Root's base.
Outside the root base, two figures have been waiting for a long time.
When they saw Naruto appear, they walked toward him.
"Naruto!" A familiar voice sounded.
Under Naruto's slightly surprised gaze, Rock Lee scratched his head and laughed foolishly.
"You didn't expect this, right? Naruto, I am your future team partner. And this is Neri of Aburame's clan."
"Hello, Uzumaki Naruto." The woman standing next to Rock Lee wore a thick black robe. Her face was covered with a black cloth, and her eyes were calm.
From her long eyelashes and beautiful eyes, one could guess that Aburame was a beauty.
Unfortunately, Rock Lee and Naruto were not interested in beautiful women.
"Hello." Naruto's thick lenses reflected light, and his tone was gentle.
Aburame's clan was one of Konoha's big clans. They were quite mysterious. The ancestral secret insect technique could not only be used to fight, but it could also be used for reconnaissance, defense, and many other functions.
Aburame's clan regarded their bodies as the nest where insects grew and used Chakra to feed insects.
Naruto had seen Aburame Shino's battle, and insects were hard to guard against in battle.
If he wasn't careful, he might fall for it.
Unlike other families, Aburame's clan had more connections with Root.
Unlike Anbu, Root's Ninja had almost always been nurtured since he was young.
There was no emotion to speak of in Root. The way they were trained was very cruel and bloody.
In the end, they would become killing machines with no emotions or souls.
He learned from Yondaime.
Danzo was extremely cautious.
He arranged for Aburame to be with him.
But why would he arrange for Rock Lee?
Naruto narrowed his eyes, a look of confusion in his eyes.
It was very likely that Rock Lee's performance in Chunin's exam had attracted Danzo's attention.
It seemed that Danzo wanted to transform Rock Lee and brainwash this innocent fellow.
Countless thoughts flashed through Naruto's mind. In the end, he turned into a perfect and gentle smile. He stretched out his right hand. "Hello, Neri is beautiful."
Neri's beautiful eyes stared at Naruto's blue eyes. A moment later, she reached out her small hand and gently held Naruto. Her voice was clear and melodious. "Hello, please take care of me in the future."
Neri's hand was cold and smooth. She immediately retracted it after shaking hands with Naruto. The sharp-eyed Naruto saw several insects sticking their heads out of Neri's sleeves.
"This is the first time we meet. Let's go eat and communicate." He retracted his hand and suggested.
"Okay, let's go." Rock Lee cheered.
"Oh right, Lee, how did you join Root?" On the way, Naruto asked.
"Elder Danzo found me and wanted me to join Root and be your partner. I thought about it and agreed. I want to help you."
Rock Lee's answer was not out of Naruto's expectations.
He maintained his smile and walked with Rock Lee and Aburame.
Neri stood at the back of the team and looked at Naruto's back, Kage. His eyes flashed.
"This Uzumaki Naruto is so strong. My bug can feel fear? No wonder Lord Danzo accepted him as his disciple."
