Root is a secret organization that many Konoha ninja have never heard of, even after having existed for years.
Therefore, the base of Root is naturally very secretive. But in the end Natsuo was still able to find it.
After all, this is an organization that many clan ninjas have joined. Even if Danzo is strict, it is impossible to completely seal off the information about the base of Root.
As the head of the Uchiha clan and a Jōnin, Natsuo, although he didn't pay special attention, he also knew the locations of several Root bases.
"If the previous aerial bombardment didn't hurt you, then let's try attacking directly!"
Natsuo put on dark clothes and used a mask to cover his face, then walked directly towards one of Root's bases.
He had only taken a few steps near one of the possible bases. And in an instant, several shuriken shot towards him, while several figures quickly ran towards his direction.
It's really Root!
Their style of attacking without hesitation is much stronger than those trash ninjas from Kusagakure.
However...
Natsuo only slightly adjusted his position as he advanced, and all those shurikens seemed to deliberately avoid him, all missing their target.
The Root ninjas remained silent, like robots, filled with a sense of death. But they didn't hesitate to attack!
Three ninjas rushed towards him, wielding ninja swords, slashing towards Natsuo.
The force was so great that if they successfully struck Natsuo, they might not have time to stop their momentum and end up hitting their comrade.
However, no one hesitated for a moment!
Natsuo remained calm and walked straight ahead, as if he hadn't seen the enemies rushing towards him.
But just as they were about to attack, the three ninjas suddenly trembled, their eyes turned white, and they instantly fell down.
Genjutsu Sharingan!
For these Chūnin-level ninjas, the genjutsu of the Sharingan is completely unbeatable.
The other Root ninjas frowned, their expressions changing slightly. "Sharingan?"
There are only two known Sharingan users in the world.
One is the defected Uchiha Itachi, and the other is the current Uchiha clan head, Uchiha Natsuo.
Which one is it?
The Root ninjas speculated in their hearts. And without hesitation, they exchanged a glance with their companions. The companion received the order and went.
But before he could take a few steps, Natsuo appeared beside him.
"Sorry, since I've used the Sharingan, I have no intention of letting you leave alive." Natsuo smiled lightly and casually ended the enemy's life.
After all, he is a formidable Kage-level powerhouse. How could he let a few ninjas escape from his hands? This is what gives him the confidence to use the Sharingan on the Root ninjas.
"You won't let us transmit the information... But it doesn't matter! This is Konoha, reinforcements will arrive soon!" The captain of the Root ninjas snorted coldly. "Keep him entangled, don't let him escape!"
With the command, Root ninjas continuously emerged from the underground base, launching attacks fearlessly towards Natsuo.
Natsuo sneered, forming hand seals with both hands.
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
The raging flames spew forth from his mouth, forming a towering sea of fire, with scorching waves surging forth. The inferno sweeps through, turning the newly emerged Root ninjas into fireballs,
They can no longer maintain their composure, wailing and rolling on the ground, but unable to lower the temperature even a bit.
This is just a small root base; how can it withstand the attack of a Kage-level expert?
"Damn it! Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" the captain cries out in pain.
His mask has been shattered by the flames, revealing a pained and somewhat numb expression underneath.
Natsuo is taken aback, it's actually someone he knows.
Tanuki Shigaraki, the biological father of Sumire Kakei in the Boruto series, is a researcher in the "Root" organization, a loyal follower of Shimura Danzo.
Following the original plot, a few years later, when Danzō was killed, and Root was disbanded. Tanuki would be forced to abandon his job. This, along with the idea that Konoha had betrayed Danzō, would cause Tanuki to begin to hate the village and continue his work in the hope of avenging Danzō and Root. He finally completed his work, creating Nue. He would eventually die, but not before training his daughter Sumire Shigaraki into a capable ninja, as well as transferring the Gozu Tennō to her.
"So, this is a research base of Root?"
This root base was randomly chosen by Natsuo. After all, Danzo's ability to block information is quite impressive. Although the address of the root base is not a secret, few people know what exactly is being done inside.
Natsuo blinked and sent Tanuki Shigaraki off with a casual gesture.
Then he stepped into the base.
There are very few ninjas inside, probably all of them have come out to fight Natsuo. The remaining few were easily dealt with by Natsuo.
But looking around, it seems to be just an ordinary underground base, with a few training facilities. It should be a training ground for cultivating new blood for Root.
There is no trace that this place is a scientific research center for Root.
"This shouldn't be like this. Tanuki Shigaraki is an outstanding researcher. He can even create the ultimate weapon 'Gozu Tennō' made from Hashirama's cells. A person like that wouldn't become the leader of a recruit training camp without any reason."
"Wait! Hashirama's cells?"
Natsuo's pupils contracted. His expression became solemn as he carefully sensed his surroundings.
Searching inch by inch, he quickly discovered a wall that seemed out of place. With a fierce punch, the wall was forcefully shattered, revealing a high-end research laboratory filled with advanced equipment inside.
"It was hidden here... Looks like I accidentally discovered Danzo's secret research facility!"
This high-end experimental equipment are even things that Natsuo could not buy, since to make them, the manufacturer would need to stop production of other equipment to build them.
"With these things, I can finally start my own laboratory!" Natsuo smiled.
Then, without hesitation, he took out a storage scroll and began to load the goods.
In reality, the valuable items in this research facility are not just a few machines, but also the experimental materials that Danzo painstakingly collected!
Senju Hashirama's cells, Uzumaki Kushina's blood, Namikaze Minato's bone marrow... Each one has a specialized machine for preservation to ensure their viability. There are even two unexpected treasures.
That is the eyes of Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto!
"These things are actually here with Danzo?" Natsuo is shocked. "Isn't he afraid of being killed by Itachi?"
