"Jiraiya, Lord Danzo wants to see you."
Not long after Jiraiya left the Senju clan, a ninja wearing a monkey mask suddenly blocked his way, speaking in a very ethereal tone.
Jiraiya paused, not surprised at all.
He showed such amazing talent that there was no way Danzo wouldn't look for him.
He had already anticipated this day.
"Lead the way."
Jiraiya said calmly.
Jiraiya is not afraid of Danzo.
He was also curious about why Danzo was looking for him now?
So I didn't refuse.
If he really wanted to refuse, Danzo couldn't do anything to him.
Jiraiya knew Danzo was an old fox.
But there are also some very precious things in my hands.
If possible, he wouldn't mind reaching some consensus with Danzo.
Konoha has many extremely dangerous Forbidden Techniques, which Sarutobi Hiruzen has completely sealed away. Even if he has made great military achievements for Konoha, he will not be able to obtain the training methods of those secret techniques.
But it is possible from Danzo's hands.
He is still very interested in the Forbidden Technique of Impure World Reincarnation.
Because you can get any reward by signing in to the system.
Maybe in the future I'll be able to obtain the body of a former powerful person.
At that time, Impure World Reincarnation will naturally come in handy.
The masked ninja with a monkey face brought Jiraiya to the Shimura family.
Shimura was just a small family, and only after training Danzo did they get the opportunity to grow rapidly.
Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo keep talking about eliminating the rift between the family and the village.
We need to completely integrate all the ninja clans into the village, so that Konoha's ninjas will no longer have the concept of family.
This is to promote peace and unity in Konoha.
But it sounds better than singing, but the two of them are secretly developing their own families.
Of course, Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen had good intentions, but they were gradually blinded by power.
"It's really luxurious."
Walking into the Shimura family's residence, Jiraiya couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
The various buildings of the Danzo family are more luxurious and majestic than those of the Senju family.
Jiraiya followed the monkey-faced masked man into a pond where Danzo was sitting in a pavilion.
"Meet Elder Danzo."
Jiraiya walked into the pavilion and greeted Danzo.
Danzo nodded and motioned for Jiraiya to sit down.
"Elder Danzo, what do you want me to do?"
Jiraiya asked.
"Jiraiya, I think highly of you. I believe that you will shine in the future and become an outstanding ninja in Konoha."
Danzo answered the question irrelevantly and first praised Jiraiya.
Although what Danzo said was true, Jiraiya said modestly, "My goal is to become a good ninja like Elder Danzo and protect Konoha Village."
"I'm glad for your teacher that you have this idea."
"With new generations like you, Konoha's future will definitely be brighter and stronger."
Danzo smiled and said.
"In order to better protect the village, I plan to establish another organization called Root. I hope you can join this organization."
Danzo stated his purpose and told Jiraiya the original intention of building the root.
Jiraiya didn't expect that Danzo wanted to invite him to join the Root.
The establishment of the Root was indeed a special team built by Danzo for Konoha's sake.
But as time went on, Danzo became more and more selfish.
The root became Danzo's personal army.
Only for Danzo's benefit.
And put Danzo's interests above the interests of the village.
If Danzo's interests conflict with the interests of the village, they will not hesitate to choose to protect Danzo's interests at the expense of the interests of the village.
It was naturally impossible for Jiraiya to join such an organization.
Moreover, every ninja who joins the Root organization can hardly quit.
Because Danzo will use that Sharingan under his bandages to mind control every Root member.
Turn it into a puppet that only knows how to carry out tasks.
Although he has the Eye of Insight that can resist all kinds of illusions, Jiraiya still has no interest in the root.
"Elder Danzo, you established the root. Does my teacher know about it?" Jiraiya asked.
Danzo nodded and said, "I have obtained your teacher's consent to establish this organization."
As expected, the establishment of the roots was approved by the Third Hokage.
"The village not only needs light to protect it, but also darkness. The Root is buried deep in the darkness. Now that the Root has just been established, we need a genius ninja like you to join."
"As long as you are willing to join the Root, I guarantee that you will be able to obtain a large amount of resources."
"There are even things that even your teacher can't give you, but I can give you that."
Danzo said in an extremely seductive tone, and then stared at Jiraiya with his one eye, waiting for Jiraiya to make a choice.
"Elder Danzo, I strongly support the establishment of the Root.
The village does need such a force to maintain the stability of the village.
However, I am still training under my teacher.
I will tell my teacher when I go back that if he agrees to let me join the Root, I am very willing to work under Elder Danzo."
Jiraiya said with a smile.
Danzo frowned slightly, showing displeasure on his face, and said in a colder voice, "Jiraiya, are you rejecting me? You can make your own decision on this matter. The Hokage will not restrict your freedom."
"As long as you agree to join the Root, even if the Hokage disagrees, I can convince him."
"You work under me, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. I can also guide you in your practice. I am no worse than your teacher."
Jiraiya didn't expect Danzo to be so strong.
He had already used Sarutobi Hiruzen as a shield, and he didn't expect Danzo to push so hard.
"Elder Danzo, it's not that I don't want to work under you, but I can't stand the constraints of rules and regulations. Elder Danzo, if you need me to do something in the future, as long as I can afford the bargaining chips, I will still be very happy to help you."
"As for joining the Root, I'm sorry, Elder Danzo, I really don't have any plans to do so for the time being."
Jiraiya once again firmly expressed his attitude.
"Those who reject me never have a good ending."
Danzo stared at Jiraiya with his one eye and said in a very gloomy tone.
"If Elder Danzo has nothing else to say, then I will go back first. I still need to practice hard and become stronger to protect the village. I don't want to waste my time on meaningless things."
Facing Danzo's threat, Jiraiya was not afraid at all and still acted tough.
"You're fine."
Danzo said with a trembling face, and it was obvious that he was extremely angry.
"Elder Danzo, I have always been fine and will be even better in the future, you can rest assured."
Jiraiya said with a small smile before turning around and walking away.
