Toneri didn't spend much time at the training ground.

I heard that there was a library with many volumes in the underground base at the root. I was very interested in this, so I dived in after leaving the training ground.

I read a lot in it in one night, most of which were older mission files, mainly from three or four years ago.

That was the period of the Second Ninja War.

At that time, Konoha was relatively united, and Danzo and Genbe also played their due roles. For example, they instigated Hanzo, the leader of the Rain Country, to agree to become an ally with Konoha and fight against the Wind together.

The country and the country of the earth.

In order to achieve this goal, Genbu has done countless preliminary tasks, some of which are recorded in the files in this library.

Although only a small part is recorded, Toneri who knows the ending can see some clues from these.

In addition to these, I also saw a lot of tasks that Genbu has done before, including some bloody tasks. This is what Genbu is really like.

The next night.

Toneri put on the mask and came to the room where he had been yesterday again.

Inside, Chi Luan, Ye Hu and Mane Dog were all already inside, as if they had been waiting here for a long time.

"It seems I'm the last to arrive." Shiren spread his hands.

"The time is just right. It's on time. That's good. Let's go now." Chiluan took the lead and walked out of the room, leaving the roots and leaving Konoha.

The smart outfit has a certain function as a night wear.

A group of people shuttled through the night at a very fast speed without attracting anyone's attention. At the same time, the roots had their own exclusive passage out of the village.

I feel that the direction of progress is almost the direction of Taki Country and Iron Country.

Seeing the extremely indifferent expressions of the other three people, Toneri knew that he had any doubts, but he could only keep them in his heart. Even if he asked, he would not get any answers.

Although it made him feel a little uncomfortable to be in the fog and not know the real mission.

However, I have to say that the basic qualities of the root ninja are quite outstanding. When they are not supposed to speak, they will never say a word.

What Toneri must admit is that if possible, everyone would probably want a subordinate like the root member.

Because they were all ninjas with Jonin strength, and they were traveling at full speed, they successfully reached the border of the Land of Fire before dawn.

When he reached the border, Toneri found that his estimated position was slightly off. The target was not the country of Taki, nor the country of iron, nor the country of earth in the future, but the country of fields, which was caught between the edges.

.

In the ninja world, a world where ninjas are everywhere and where ninjas are the main fighting force, a small country like Tian Country is a standing lamb in the eyes of many people, and they can be slaughtered at any time if they want.

.

Because there is no hidden village that has been formed in Tian no country, not even a little bit of a prototype.

Maybe it was just the daimyo of Tiannokuni who paid out of his own pocket to hire some wandering ninjas as his bodyguards.

The Kingdom of Tian is directly north of the Kingdom of Fire, to the west is the Kingdom of Iron, the country of samurai, and to the east is part of the Kingdom of Yu.

If you really want to say it, the territory of Tian Country is actually not small, at least it is much larger than those small countries like Wave Country.

Moreover, it is backed by the sea and can be engaged in fishing. Although the national economy cannot be said to be particularly good, without the hidden village consuming a lot of treasury financial resources, the economy of Tian Country is pretty good and can be self-sufficient.

Of course, the premise of all this is based on the fact that the Kingdom of Tian respects the Kingdom of Fire, and every year it will hand over a large sum of money to the daimyo of the Kingdom of Fire, which is regarded as a "protection fee."

Moreover, Toneri also heard that there seems to be a certain blood relationship between the daimyo of the Land of Fields and the daimyo of the Land of Fire, and the relationship is not that far apart.

In fact, in the ninja world, the famous names of many countries have a certain blood relationship.

In order to make the blood of their offspring more pure, they often marry each other.

Therefore, the names of countries in the entire ninja world are actually derived from one ancestor. This is probably the so-called, the world is my home...

In short, the relationship between the daimyo of Tian Country and the daimyo of Fire Country is extraordinary, so Tian Country can be regarded as a firm ally of Fire Country.

Some people may ask, since there is such a relationship, why didn't the daimyo of Tian Country build his own hidden village so that he could have a certain self-protection ability, but instead hired some wandering ninjas who didn't seem to be very strong?

First of all, one thing to explain is that not all daimyo from all countries are supportive of the hidden villages in their country. There are even daimyo from many countries. In their view, ninjas are tools and hidden villages are tool libraries.

, they do not necessarily need such a tool library.

Isn’t it bound to use the large amount of financial allocation invested in the hidden village every year to eat, drink and have fun?

As for the ninja taking action against himself as a daimyo?

In their view, the profession of ninja is despicable, just like executioner. How can they have the courage to become daimyo?

It is precisely because of this noble concept of high self-esteem that many daimyo can't stand their hidden villages.

The most typical among them is the famous name of the Kingdom of Wind.

The financial allocation of Sunagakure Village continues to be reduced every year. If Sunagakure Village had not strived for its own strength and had ninjas like the Third Kazekage and Fourth Kazekage who could use magnetic escape, it is estimated that by the end of the Third Ninja World War, Sunagakure

The village will be wiped off the map of the ninja world.

On the contrary, for the Daimyo of the Land of Earth, the annual allocation is not less.

But there are many famous names like the Kingdom of Wind, and the famous name of the Kingdom of Tian is one of them.

In his opinion, instead of investing a lot of money every year to build his own hidden village and use the money for enjoyment, anyway, with allies like the Fire Nation, if there are any difficulties, he can go to Konoha to issue tasks.

Building hidden villages is a complete waste of money.

Moreover, the Daimyo of Ta no Kuni is famous for his eye for money, and asking him to give money is extremely difficult, but if you give him money, you will become his friend.

"This mission is in Tian Country?"

Directly cross the border of Konoha and enter Tian Country, Toneri thought silently in his heart.

Tian Country does not even have a basic hidden village, let alone any border guarding ninjas. Entering Tian Country is simply easier than entering your own home.

After entering the Kingdom of Tian, ​​their movement speed finally slowed down, and at this moment, the sky in the distance finally revealed a touch of fish belly white.

"Take an hour to recover and recover. A battle may happen at any time."

As the captain, Chi Luan said something and began to arrange basic warning lines and protective measures. The three of them sat down cross-legged to recover.

Traveling in such a hurry will definitely consume a lot of money anyway.

He has gradually become familiar with the basic task mode, which is to follow the command in all actions, sit when you are told, and stand when you are told. This is probably the thought that has been instilled in them after being brainwashed.

The so-called "root" people have no names, no emotions, no past, no future, and only tasks in their hearts. What supports the big tree of Konoha Village behind it are the roots deeply rooted in the earth. These are the "roots".

"will.

When it was first established, it was for Konoha, but it slowly became a tool in Danzo's hands.

What is rotten is not the tiny roots under the big tree of Konoha, but the section that connects the roots to the main trunk of Konoha, that main part.

An hour passed quickly.

I don’t know what other people’s condition is like, but Sheren is almost back to his best condition.

"Is there a battle that may happen at any time? It seems that something must have happened in Tian Zhiguo." Toneri thought silently in his heart.

Under the leadership of Chi Luan, the group secretly walked through the dense jungle, various places that are difficult for ordinary people to walk, whether it is a cliff or a cliff.

When no one knew their whereabouts, they arrived in the high mountain woods not far from Tianzhi Country.

"Yehu, scout the surrounding environment and collect intelligence in the town."

Chi Luan waved his hand to stop everyone, and ordered Ye Hu, who was responsible for perception and intelligence collection.

Yehu didn't respond, but just opened his arms, and two black "smoke" as dark as fog emerged from his hands and quickly dispersed in the woods.

Seeing these "smoke", Toneri's eyes, hidden under his face, narrowed slightly.

Parasitic bugs.

Aburame clan!

Although Toneri was a little surprised that this root ninja codenamed Night Fox was a member of the Aburame clan, it was reasonable.

Most of the members of the Roots are orphans who have been recruited into the Roots since childhood for brainwashing and brutal training. Some people with excellent qualifications are selected and trained into ninjas and trained as the killing tools of the Roots.

And those who failed to pass the training, some died directly during the training process, and these were ruthlessly abandoned.

As for those "lucky ones" who didn't pass but survived by chance, Danzo sent people out of the Land of Fire and sent them to various countries, leaving them to survive on their own. It would be best if they could survive.

If it cannot survive, there will be no loss of roots.

War of different sizes breaks out in the ninja world at any time, and some young orphans suddenly appear, and no one pays attention to them at all.

Those who survive can be activated at any time if they are willing to do so, and become a very small part of Danzo's intelligence network throughout the entire ninja world.

The former Sheren was one of these "lucky ones".

However, in addition to recruiting these orphans, Danzo sometimes also takes a fancy to some young people in Konoha who have great potential, recruits them to the Genbu, and brainwashes them for his own use.

Among them are some disciples of the family.

The introverted character and unassuming existence of the Aburame clan are exactly what Danzo likes most about them.

They usually pretend to be no different from ordinary people, but as soon as they put on the mask, they become the most advantageous weapon in Danzo's hands.

"This root ninja named Ye Fox is a member of the Aburame clan. I just don't know which family the captain Akira and the ninja named Mane Dog belong to? Or maybe they are just ordinary civilians and orphans.
