Chapter 64: Danzo's Recruitment
Che looked up and saw that from the perspective of the six eyes, he could clearly see the dense chakra in the masked man's body.
"Bugs? It seems to be from the Aburame clan."
Che had seen classmates from the Aburame clan during his time in the ninja school. They had this special kind of bug with chakra in their bodies, which usually fed on their chakra and provided them with help in battle.
The Aburame clan is also a big clan in Konoha, and is a famous insect control family in the ninja world.
"Danzo-sama summoned me, please go with me." The masked man from the Aburame clan repeated his request.
Che looked at the masked man's face, and through the mask he could see that there seemed to be some kind of restriction on his tongue.
Combined with his special identity and the way he observed Danzo's way of doing things, it is not difficult to infer that this is a restriction against leaking secrets.
"Who are you?"
Che asked.
The masked man took off his mask, revealing a face wearing sunglasses, with a purple mark tattooed on the right side of his lip. He said expressionlessly: "Ryoma Aburame, a member of Root."
"Root? That's the code name of the Anbu training department, right?" Che said thoughtfully.
Ryoma Aburame put on the mask and continued in his calm tone: "Lord Danzo invites you to the Root base."
Che said, while complaining in his heart whether all members of the Root organization were so expressionless, "Okay, you lead the way."
The base of the Root organization is located deep underground. Through the building of the Anbu training department on the ground, you can directly reach the huge space of 100 meters underground.
Hidden so deeply, it really deserves the name of Root.
The base of the Root organization is like a tree root buried deep underground, hidden under the shadow of the big tree of Konoha.
The framework of the entire base is a solid reinforced concrete structure. Coupled with such a deep depth, I am afraid that the destruction of Konoha Village on the ground will not affect the base of the Root organization in the slightest.
The Root Organization's base is extremely deep and large in area. Each floor is connected by a wooden bridge, and the layers are clearly defined, which seems to symbolize that the Root Organization is a place with strict hierarchy.
Aburame Ryoma brought Che to the deepest part of the base and knocked on the door of Shimura Danzo's office.
"Danzo-sama, the people have been brought here."
"Come in." Danzo's voice came from inside.
Aburame Ryoma immediately opened the door.
Shimura Danzo sat behind the table with his hands crossed, staring at Che with a sharp gaze.
"Ryoma, you leave first."
Aburame Ryoma obediently left and closed the door.
"Danzo-sama." Che bowed slightly, his attitude was very correct.
Danzo looked at Che with a gloomy and sharp eyes, and slowly said: "You got the information that Sunagakure was preparing to invade Konoha."
"What do you think about this?"
Che thought for a moment and replied: "I think Konoha should at least take reciprocal measures and build fortifications in the Land of Rivers in preparation for war."
"Or take the initiative to attack and drive the Sunagakure ninjas out of the Land of Rivers."
Danzo's eyes softened a little, and he said: "It seems that you still have some blood."
"Do you know what Sarutobi Hiruzen's measures are?"
Che was no longer surprised that Danzo called the Hokage by his name, and replied: "I don't know."
"The active defense he mentioned was just sending a few more troops to patrol the western border of the Land of Fire, and the so-called diplomatic condemnation was just sending people to Sunagakure to negotiate."
"How can such a weak attitude lead Konoha to victory?!"
Danzo was really angry as he spoke, and slapped the table with one hand, causing the surface of the table to crack.
Che did not comment on this, but was also a little disappointed in his heart.
Although Konoha is the strongest ninja village, it may still decline in the future with such a weak Hokage.
Perhaps we can only hope that the next Hokage will be stronger.
Danzo's anger gradually dissipated, and after calming down, he changed the subject and said: "It seems that I get along well with you, you should join the Root."
Danzo did not seem to be asking, but ordering.
"You are from Uchiha. Under normal circumstances, if you want to work in the official department of Konoha in the future, you can only go to the Konoha Guard Force under the charge of your Uchiha."
"You will not be exposed to real experience there, and you can only deal with trivial disputes in the village. This is indeed a waste of your talent."
"I can make an exception and recruit you into the Root."
"Here, you can get sufficient experience, and I can give you special treatment. All the ninjutsu resources of the Root can be chosen by you, and you can decide the tasks given to you."
The conditions given by Danzo are generous.
However, Che was unmoved.
First of all, Che didn't like the gloomy temperament of the strict hierarchy of the Root Organization, which reminded him of the pedantic system of the curse world in the previous life.
And the curse seal on Aburame Ryoma also reminded Che that despite Danzo's nice words, he actually didn't trust his subordinates.
Secondly, Che didn't need the so-called ninjutsu resources, and the Uchiha clan behind him was enough to provide sufficient ninjutsu resources.
Finally, Che considered that if he joined the Root, he would be buried deep underground like the entire Root Organization, never seeing the sun.
As a Root, no matter how outstanding he is, he can't bask in the sun.
And the ambition hidden in Che's heart would not accept his future being restricted.
"Thank you for your kindness, Lord Danzo, but I am not suitable for serving in the Root Organization."
Danzo said with a bad face: "Do you want to reject me?"
Danzo asked knowingly, and at the same time began to urge Chakra to emit momentum.
The majesty of a high position and the strength comparable to that of a Hokage are enough to make ordinary ninjas feel afraid and surrender.

However, it can't do anything to Che.
Che still stood calmly in front of Danzo, thinking about how to get out of this situation.
Danzo saw that he failed to recruit and intimidate, so he was gloomy and ready to take action.
At this moment, a faint smile appeared on Che's face.
"It seems that there is no need to expose the technique and strength."
Che was sure to get out of Danzo's hands, but the premise was that he had to use the unlimited technique.
Danzo would definitely not give up when he saw the unlimited technique.
Che didn't want to take on a deadly feud with Danzo, a high-ranking official in Konoha.
"Danzo-sama, you don't want to do anything to my assistant, do you?"
A magnetic voice came from outside the door.
Then it was Orochimaru who pushed the door open.
Orochimaru was wearing a jonin vest, with black hair hanging down behind him. He glanced at Che and then stared straight at Danzo.
"Orochimaru, what do you want to do?" Danzo asked in a deep voice.
Orochimaru spread his hands and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want my assistant back."
"If Danzo-sama has nothing to do, I will take him away. I have a research to complete later."
Danzo looked at Orochimaru coldly and uttered a few words: "Okay, very good."
Orochimaru raised the corner of his mouth, turned around and waved, "Danzo-sama, goodbye."
"By the way, the research we are cooperating on is progressing well. It may be able to produce results in some time. Please wait patiently."
Danzo looked at the backs of Orochimaru and Che going away, without saying a word.
"I can't turn against him yet..."
Danzo thought again and again and could only swallow his anger.
