Chapter 975 Danzo's Real Goal
After the Ancient Guard set up a formation to protect Naruto in the center, he immediately shouted to the corridor outside the laboratory and asked, "Who is it?"
Soon dozens of ninjas wearing head masks and windbreakers walked neatly and quickly through the corridor to the door of the laboratory.
After seeing their clothes, the Ancient Guards breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it was Zhou Wei's responsible personnel in charge of Zhiye who heard the movement came to check it, and it was probably their own people.
But unexpectedly, the uninvited guests did not respond at all after hearing Anbu's shouting, but continued to charge forward without stopping, and quickly spread out and bypassed Sarutobi and his group from all directions, rushing into the laboratory.
The Ancient Guard did not expect such a change to occur. Instead, he did not intercept it manually at the first time, but hesitated to stand in place to defend and guard.
But this moment of hesitation made them fall into a huge passive state. The unexpected guest suddenly appeared formed a larger formation to surround them in the center.
At this time, the Anbu Guards realized that the situation was wrong. The leader of the Anbu Commander immediately shouted at the group of ninjas with similar costumes and said, "Rare you! Are you roots or Anbu? You dare to be so rude to Lord Naruto! Why don't you disperse quickly!"
Hearing his words, Anbu present remembered that besides them, Konoha had a root that was exactly the same as theirs. Seeing that the other party's posture was obviously bad, everyone came on guard.
Faced with the scolding of the Dark Captain, all the ninjas on the periphery stood there unmoved, and even their eyes were not fluctuating, showing a completely different temperament from the Dark Do.
As an intelligence department, the temperament of the dark community is mysterious and iron-blooded, while the roots are numb and mechanical. Although they are also cold, the former is a person with spirit and emotions, while the latter is more like a cold and ruthless tool.
Sometimes the best answer is not the answer, and now everyone present has identified the identities of this group of people.
"Hahaha..." At this time, Orochimaru, who was behind the two groups, suddenly let out a string of evil laughter: "Tonight, it's really lively here. First, Mr. Sarutobi and Anbe, now the roots are here. Tell me! What do Danzo asks you to come?"
At this time, the person in the head of Keshi said in a cold tone: "Ken has received the information exposed by the experiment. Lord Danzo is ordered to help Lord Orochimaru!"
After hearing this, Sarutobi's face turned gloomy and he murmured in a low voice: "Danzo! It's really you who supports Orochimaru behind his back!"
After hearing the answer from the leader of Nechi, Orochimaru smiled happily: "Assist me? Are you helping me escape? You must know that I will become a wanted rebel ninja tomorrow. Isn't Danzo afraid of being implicated by me?"
"No! It's not running away!" The leader of the roots shook his head and denied Orochimaru's guess. "Master Danzo means..." At this point, a trace of emotional fluctuation finally appeared in his tone, "Let's help him assassinate Naruto!"
"What!"
Everyone present showed a look of surprise when they heard this answer. Even the strong-minded Anbu elite couldn't help but exclaim, and a look of incredible appeared on Sarutobi's face.
"Assassination?" Orochimaru was also stunned. He looked at the leader of the root and asked, "Are you sure Danzo wants to assassinate the old man? Just for the sake of what was exposed in the experiment?"
Without waiting for the other party to answer, he hurriedly shook his head and asked and answered: "Impossible! Even if I was exposed here, he still had many ways to put aside his relationship. With the character of that guy Danzo, he would never take such a big risk for others!"
After Orochimaru lowered his head and pondered for a while, he suddenly looked up and asked, "Isn't he trying to kill the old man and seize the position of Naruto?"
Hearing Orochimaru's speculation, Sarutobi and the Anbu turned their eyes to the leader of the root leader, and the other party's eyes remained silent with a slight look, neither admitting nor denying.
But everyone saw the answer from his attitude, and Orochimaru probably guessed it!
"Danzo is really crazy for the Naruto position!" Orochimaru stuck out his tongue with a wicked smile: "But even if the assassination is successful, how can he seize the Naruto position from Yoshiki-kun?"
The Anbu and Sarutobi himself also had the same question. You should know that Sarutobi will abdicate soon. Even if Danzo kills him, it is impossible for him to compete for the position of Naruto from Yoshiki! The two sides have a lot of differences in reputation and strength.
Faced with this problem, the leader of the roots remained silent, but there was a fluctuation in his eyes, as if he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't help but couldn't say it.
"Is the disaster of tongue absolute?" Orochimaru nodded thoughtfully, and then said again: "So let's not talk about this issue for now, why should Danzo think I will help him kill the old man?
You know, whether it is assassination of Naruto or killing the master, it is a big charge! What I have to face at that time is the full pursuit of Konoha, which is much more dangerous than defection!"
At this time, the leader of the root department finally spoke: "Lord Danzang promised that as long as the adults are willing to cooperate, he would guarantee the position of director of the scientific research department after the matter was completed, and your experiment could continue!"
"Hahaha..." Orochimaru laughed even more happily when he heard this, "It's such a condition full of temptation." He turned to look at Sarutobi and joked, "Saguchi, you see, as your old opponent, Lord Danzo is much more enlightened. Do you think I should agree?"
"Hmph!" Sarutobi snorted coldly with a gloomy face, and then he reached the surrounding roots with a look of alertness.
He knew that he might be in danger this time. All of these are elites, and the strength of the Uenin is the lowest, and the number of people is several times that of the Ancient Guards. In addition, Orochimaru, whose strength is no less than that of him, would be likely to be wiped out if the fight starts.
The situation that was originally almost certain was completely reversed due to the root intervention. At this critical moment, Sarutobi did not try to persuade Orochimaru to do so. In his opinion, his disciple was hopeless. He was unwilling to look back when the situation was obviously unfavorable just now, and it was even more impossible.
He looked directly at the leader of the root and asked, "Where is Danzang? Since he wants to kill me, why don't he come in person? Do you dare not see me?"
The leader of the root group said respectfully: "Sir Naruto, Lord Danzo tells me to bring you a sentence:
Sarutobi, in order to implement the will of fire, I can no longer continue to be the root of the darkness. I must stand in the sun to lead Konoha in a more correct direction. I don’t need your understanding, but time will prove that I am right.”
Chapter completed!
