Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed to let him establish an organization.
Danzo showed joy on his face, and the gloom on his face was instantly swept away.
He has never given up on the position of Hokage.
If he wants to become Hokage, he must first have many supporters and his own power. Only in this way can he compete with Sarutobi Hiruzen. Otherwise, the next Hokage will have to be appointed by Sarutobi Hiruzen, and he will not have any chance at all.
Don't think that he is the leader in Anbu now.
In fact, he has very little power in Anbu, after all, Anbu is a direct department under the Hokage.
They carry out their missions in the best interests of the Hokage.
If he could establish other organizations, he could use his will to run through them.
Take his interests as the highest standard for performing tasks.
Strictly speaking, Danzo wants to establish a private army that belongs only to him.
Just obey orders and be loyal to yourself.
If someone wants to give orders, they have to get his consent first.
"I plan to name it Root. If Konoha wants to grow stronger, it can't just rely on leaves exposed to the sun. It also needs roots deep in the dark to absorb nutrients." Danzo replied.
"Root, that's a good name."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said after thinking for a moment.
Danzo's philosophy of establishing the Root Organization is very much in line with Sarutobi Hiruzen's wishes.
From now on, he can be at ease as a leaf exposed to the light and bathed in the sun.
All the shameful things can be left to the roots deeply rooted in the darkness.
"Hokage, I hope to allow Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya to join the Root. The Root has just been established and needs some geniuses to take the lead."
Danzo immediately began to ask Sarutobi Hiruzen for someone.
Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya are both geniuses.
If such talents were to stay with Hiruzen, it would seriously damage his interests.
Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya are now both deeply influenced by Sarutobi Hiruzen's will.
When they grow up, they are destined to become Sarutobi Hiruzen's left and right arms.
By then, it will definitely become an obstacle to his campaign for Hokage.
Therefore, he had to find a way to make Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya accept his will and become his right-hand men.
As long as there is a powerful genius who recognizes his will, it will become much easier for him to compete for the position of Hokage when he grows up.
"Danzo, I was able to allow you to establish the Root. I have already given you a lot of power and made concessions. There is no way I can allow Hatake Sakumo and Jiraiya to join the Root."
"I have already decided to let Hatake Sakumo be the new Anbu leader. I have also made arrangements for Jiraiya."
"Don't try to get involved with them again, or you know the consequences."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Danzo solemnly.
He knew Danzo's thoughts best.
It is impossible for him to gather too many geniuses around Danzo.
"I know all about your actions behind your back. Although I didn't agree to your establishment of other organizations before, you have already completed the structure secretly and trained many elite ninjas. I just turned a blind eye. Danzo, you'd better not cross the line."
Danzo remained silent for a while, then he asked, "Can I select elite disciples from those big families and have them join the Root?"
"As long as you can convince their clan leader, I naturally have no objection."
Sarutobi Hiruzen replied without any hesitation.
"How's that experiment going?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen asked next.
"There has been no substantial progress. This batch of test subjects is almost dead. We need to find new test subjects immediately."
Danzo replied.
"Not everyone can bear Shodai's cells. Stop the experiment and seal Shodai's cells."
Sarutobi Hiruzen said as he blew out a puff of smoke.
"Hokage, this experiment cannot be stopped. As long as we succeed, we can regain the power of Wood Style. You know that Wood Style is the most powerful against Tailed Beasts. As long as we in Konoha can train new Wood Style users, we can return the village to its glory when it was first built."
"I know the cost of research is a bit high now, but these sacrifices are necessary. As long as we can succeed, no matter how big the sacrifice is, it is worth it."
"This experiment cannot be stopped at any cost."
"Wood Style is too important to the village. We must train new Wood Style ninjas."
"If our village had always had Wood Style ninjas, our sensei wouldn't have died at the hands of those two brothers with Nine Tails Chakra."
"Now all the major ninja villages have tailed beasts. I don't need to say how terrifying the tailed beasts are. If we can have Wood Style ninjas, those tailed beasts will no longer be a threat to us."
Danzo said with great excitement.
Wood Style has the power to restrain the Tailed Beasts.
After the battle between Sarutobi Hiruzen and Danzo, they knew deeply the terrifying power of the tailed beasts. If a war breaks out again in the future, the tailed beasts will pose a great threat to the village.
So they began to study Hashirama cells in secret, hoping to cultivate a new Wood Style user.
But after so much research and paying a lot of price, there is still no progress.
"I know how important Wood Style is, but the village has wasted too many resources to conduct the experiment. Now that the Rain Country is about to start a war, we no longer have enough funds to continue this experiment."
"The group of ninjas that attacked Hatake Sakumo must have been led by a large ninja village.
I have a feeling that a war will break out soon.
We must prepare for it with all our strength.
You don't have to say anything more.
I will ask Anbu to collect all the experimental materials and equipment when I get back."
"If you dare to stop me or do research behind my back, I will never let you off easily."
Sarutobi Hiruzen also longs to master the power of Wood Style, but the current situation of the village does not allow them to continue their experiments.
"We have made some progress in our research. If we stop the experiment now, all our efforts will be wasted. Lord Hokage, please think about this carefully."
"Can we slow down the experiment first?"
Danzo pleaded.
"Danzo, are you going to disobey the orders of the Hokage?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes suddenly turned cold.
"Sarutobi, you're going to regret this."
Danzo left the Hokage's office angrily.
...
"I'm full, thank you for the treat, Captain Sakumo."
In the Akamichi family's barbecue restaurant, Jiraiya burped and said.
"Me too."
Orochimaru rubbed his stomach.
Hatake Sakumo looked at the messy mountains of dishes in front of Jiraiya and Orochimaru.
I came back to my senses and looked at my wallet, and it seemed that there was not enough money to pay the bill.
He never expected that Jiraiya and Orochimaru had such an amazing appetite.
It's so f*****g terrifying.
