Chapter 120 [119] ‘Sacrifice’ (Part 2)

Under the skylight, the scene in front of me looked a little blurry.

"thump."

Shimura Danzo stretched out his hand with difficulty, firmly grasped Aburame Ryoma's wrist, climbed out of the deep well with some difficulty, and landed heavily on the ground.

There was a stain on the muddy ground.

He was breathing heavily, but his remaining single eye couldn't help but reveal a bit of joy.

Standing outside the well were dozens of elite elites he sent out to assassinate Aida Masaki.

At this time, it seems that there have been fewer people.

It seems that something unexpected happened along the way. Are you here to join him now?

"Danzo-sama, your body?"

"Where are Tanuki and the others?"

Aburame Ryoma held up his arm with one hand, her always stiff and cold face beneath her sunglasses showing a bit of suspicion.

He seems to be puzzled as to how the other party ended up in such a situation.

"It doesn't matter."

Danzo shook off his hand, as if he didn't want to show his weak side in front of his subordinates.

However, when he heard Ryoma Aburame mention Tanuki Han, he couldn't help but remain silent for a while and said coldly:

"Encountered Hanzo's surprise attack during the mission"

"All destroyed."

"However, the mission has not failed yet!"

For a moment, Aburame Ryoma and all the root ninjas behind him couldn't help but be a little stunned.

However, this silence only lasted for a moment.

Indifferent, rigid, and instrumental.

These are some of the most outstanding characteristics of Root Ninja.

The death of their companions should not leave too deep a mark in their hearts.

After all, their graduation test when they were selected into this unit was to personally kill their close teammates who had been with them day and night.

"Then what is our current mission goal?" Aburame Ryoma asked in a low voice.

"Surveillance!"

Hearing this, Danzo Shimura almost didn't think about it, and the word popped into his mind with a firm tone:

"Monitor the environmental chakra reaction status in the direction of Yuyin Village."

"Keep observing at a close distance, at least fifteen kilometers away!"

"?"

Aburame Ryoma paused slightly and looked at him in confusion.

What exact mission objective is this?

Seeing his puzzled look, Shimura Danzo knew that it was time to reveal some information.

He said in a calm tone: "The technique "Tianzhi Zhenxing" has actually been completed."

"The reason why I took such a big risk this time is to test this technique in Yuyin Village."

"However, the entire surgical procedure is all recorded in my mind alone."

Speaking of this, Shimura Danzo looked at Aburame Ryoma with a hint of threat.

Unlike other subordinates, even though Aburame Ryoma was also adopted, brainwashed and trained by him as a right-hand man since childhood, there would be no loyalty issues under normal circumstances.

However, Danzo Shimura didn't believe anyone.

This is true even for the young children he has brainwashed himself.

For Shimura Danzo, now in such a state of being exhausted and injured, and with his men severely damaged, it was like dancing naked on the street. It was impossible to feel safe wherever he went, and everyone wanted to kill him and usurp the throne.

Human beings are quite self-centered creatures.

Because he himself would definitely have such thoughts, Danzo Shimura thought that everyone would think so too.

Especially, a 'second-in-command' like Aburame Ryoma, who has more than a hundred people under one person.

If they could seize the opportunity to become a full-time employee, who would be willing to stoop to be an ‘assistant’?

However, Aburame Ryoma seemed to have no such thoughts at all.

Except for being slightly shocked when he heard the ninjutsu "Tianzhi Zhenxing", he maintained an extremely respectful attitude from beginning to end, saying in a low voice:

"I see."

Seeing this, Danzo breathed a sigh of relief and said coldly:

"Also, find me a brand new ninja kit."

His ninja tools have long been used up, and some were lost in the explosion water.

Without weapons, there is naturally no sense of security.

"yes."

Soon, a complete set of ninja equipment was delivered to Shimura Danzo.

Also delivered with it was a simple short knife.

"Clang."

Danzo Shimura took out the blade and took a look at it to make sure that there was nothing tampering with it, and then he felt slightly relieved.

It seems that Longma is still worthy of trust.

only.

He lowered his head and examined the blade of the short sword.

For some reason, this knife seems to make people feel inexplicably familiar.

It's like, where have you seen it before?

"What is this knife?"

Danzo Shimura frowned slightly.

Aburame Ryoma half-knelt on the ground: "It's the target's weapon, "Toki-e"."

"After we killed him through an ambush, we collected his remaining relics. Some of the ninjutsu experience and seal scrolls were not presented, and we are still processing the secret codes."

"This is the only knife that is quite useful. I hope you will accept it."

"Um."

Danzo Shimura relaxed his brows slightly, waved the short sword twice, and breathed a sigh of relief:

"not bad."

Amidst all the bad news, even a small good thing is gratifying.

At least, the chain link between the Ninja clan has been broken by him.

What happened after that was nothing more than the old trick of pulling a group to beat a group, which had already been broken by the teacher.

I just don't know why.

Although the news of Aida Masaki's death had been received, and Ryoma was indeed reliable, Danzo Shimura still felt a little empty in his heart.

baffling.

Slowly, he lowered his head and looked at the blade that was so clean that it reflected his face.

Suddenly asked:

"Have you confirmed the boy's body?"

"yes!"

Aburame Ryoma responded in a low voice: "It has been sealed inside the scroll. There must be many secrets hidden in his body, and my subordinates do not dare to make any unauthorized decisions to deal with it."

"Not bad, very good."

"Ryoma."

"In the past, I underestimated you."

Danzo Shimura was really satisfied this time.

There is a seal on Ryoma's tongue that will eliminate the evil caused by tongue, and he cannot deceive himself.

Danzo didn't expect that this child would be so reliable at a critical moment.
