A few minutes later, Kirito left the Uchiha Clan territory with a satisfied mind, Uchiha Homura the Uchiha Clan Leader didn't let him down, the other party was still very generous in the fight against Danzo, and he smoothly got a detailed list of the Roots members from Chizuru's hands.
Back to the orphanage, the first thing Kirito would do is to go back to his room, and then open the sealing barrier to cut off the prying eyes of the outside world, and then take out the list of the members of the Root Division to read it carefully.
As Kirito looked at the large number of organized names on top of the list as well as the backgrounds and abilities of these people, his mood gradually became a bit heavy.
It must be said that Danzo is a capable person and is indeed a qualified Head of Intelligence. In some ways, his personal charm is very popular among the ninja group in Konoha.
It was truly a shock to see.
Danzo's infiltration of Konoha's various ninja clans and civilian ninja groups has been very deep, each ninja clan has his planted undercover agents, many of which are still in high positions in the clans, and even there are people in the Uchiha clan who have been attracted to his darkness and have become his eyes and ears.
As far as the number on the list was concerned, the number was upwards of five hundred people, of which thirty-six were Jonin, over four hundred were Chunin, and as for the lower ninjas who were not on the top of the list, it was estimated that there were still a very, very large number of them.
No wonder Mito and Sandaime had some scruples, if Danzo died, the chain reaction that would be generated would definitely be very huge, and would most likely shake the foundation of Konoha.
"It's all Sandaime's fault, If he was capable enough, he wouldn't have been exploited by Danzo. From the current point of view, the root is already too big to be removed. If you want to uproot it, killing Danzo is the key. He can successfully control so many people by relying on the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal."
Kirito sighed as he read the names at the top of the list.
Just that, it was not easy to kill Danzo, this old man was just too careful and too steady, he couldn't find an opportunity right now, the only way to start was to start with some of the small fishes at the top of this list.
First of all, he had to cut off the source of funding for the Root Division.
There are so many people in the Root. How can the stingy Sandaime afford to support so many people?
Root members are also human beings, they also need to eat and train to support their families, money is a resource that is essential for traveling in the world.
According to the information given on the list, part of the funding of the Root Division comes from a few powerful nobles in the Land of Fire, and part of it comes from some merchants under the control of the Root Division.
Precisely because of these people's continuous provision of huge financial support, Danzo's leadership of the Root Division will continue to develop and grow after Sandaime's rule, and its overall strength has long exceeded Sandaime's control of the directly subordinate darkness department.
And these people who provide financial support for the root are scattered outside Konoha, undoubtedly belong to the easiest target to hit.
"Some of these Root-controlled merchants happen to be in the Land of Wave yet, and their property, I'll politely accept."
Kirito said in a cold voice.
Then, a question suddenly occurred to him, that is, how did the Uchiha's people gather such detailed information about so many Root members?
In Konoha, the Uchiha clan was basically being firmly watched by the Root Division led by Danzo as well as Sandaime's direct ANBU Division, and it should be very difficult for the movements of the clan's personnel to go undetected.
"Shinobi cat clan?"
Kirin thought deeply about this question, and he quickly went to the Shinobi Cat Clan that had appeared in the original plot.
This Summoning Beast Clan, which on the surface was no different from ordinary cats, had been befriending and serving the Uchiha clan for generations, and their clan members were distributed throughout the Shinobi Realm, and they were supposed to be an important source of information for the Uchiha clan to obtain.
"Cats ah, looks like we'll have to keep an eye out for these cute little creatures in the future."
Kirito thought thoughtfully as he stood up and walked over to the window, looking out at an orange cat lying asleep in the shade in the courtyard.
Next, he carefully skimmed through the list a few more times, thoroughly memorizing what was on it before burning it, then taking out a pen and paper and writing out a simplified version of the list on it.
Such a thing as distinguishing between the enemy and himself was not just something he alone had a need for, there were also some people around him who needed it just as much.
But they didn't want to memorize as much as he did.
Soon, a new list was freshly made.
Kirito tucked the new list away and hid it on his body before walking out of his room and onto a training ground in the backyard of the orphanage.
By this time, two of Kirito's little brothers, Yamazaki Heizou and Noda Oka, had returned from school to train here.
In addition to the two, there were also some orphanage kids and outside civilian kids, most of them were hard at work practicing physical arts or ninjutsu throwing techniques, and a small portion of them were practicing ninjutsu.
Aside from Yamazaki Heizou and Noda Oka, there were three people already practicing ninjutsu, two males and one female named Umino Daio, Iguchi Takeshi, and Yuzuru Yukimi.
Kirito had just arrived, the children on the training ground had all stopped and looked at Kirito with either adoration or respect or awe, and addressed Kirito as big brother.
In the ninja world, the strong are honored.
Ninjas worshiped the strong, and since adults were far away from them, children would consciously compare themselves to children around their age.
Thus, Kirito becomes the target for them to catch up.
Only, when the gap is so big that it is hard to look up to him, some people will be jealous or even hate him and feel sorry for themselves, while others will be in awe and recognize themselves, and some will worship him and have the intention to follow him.
While at school, Kirito's greatest hobby, besides studying hard, was to observe his classmates, then reach out to them, get to know them, and ultimately choose a small group of them.
The children who were able to train here were those chosen by Kirito, those whom Kirito trusted and found useful.
Danzo's analysis of the information he had gathered was correct, Kirito was secretly gathering people around his age, and through the provision of training resources, jutsu, and physical persuasion, he was able to gather those he liked around him, and form a new force with himself at the center.
This new force was still very weak, with its members basically just kids who hadn't graduated yet, but they would continue to grow and then stand out among their peers.
The reason Kirito would be so convinced was that all of these kids had been voluntarily planted with the Night Seal by him, and their own strength and potential had been boosted, so when they went to the battlefield in the future, they would surely be the group of people amongst their peers who were most likely to survive.
Kirito greeted the children in the training ground with a smile, then after a few words of encouragement and a few pointers on their training, he let them continue to work hard on their training, and finally left at a leisurely pace.
Waiting for Kirito to leave, Yamazaki Heizou, Noda Oka, Kaino Daioh, Iguchi Takeshi, and Yukimi Yuzuru all left one after another, and they all ended up in Kirito's room one after the other.
"The purpose of calling you all here is simple, it's so that you can memorize the names on the top of this scroll, I was attacked by an assassin of the Sand Ninja today, but it was actually Danzo who led the Roots who did it, you're all smart enough that you should understand what this means, and if you don't then memorize the names on it and be on guard against them in secret."
Once everyone had arrived, Kirito reopened the sealing barrier to cut off the prying eyes of the outside world, and then took out his newly written copy of the list and placed it in front of them, saying seriously.
