Chapter 05: Page 5

This Wood Release style...

It looks extremely cruel.

"Master Danzo, I caught a fish!"

Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo with joy on her face.

The boy's smile seemed extremely innocent and pure, but in this bloody way of fishing he seemed particularly cold-blooded and ruthless, as if killing lives was a pleasure for him.

This is a natural killing tool.

"Really..."

The old man looked at the bloody scene in front of him and slowly uttered a rare compliment: "Exquisite Wood Release, you are a good boy..."

Whether it was the boy's Wood Release bloodline or his attitude towards life, Danzo Shimura felt that he had really found a good seedling this time. In the future, he just had to make sure he was loyal to him!

Konoha Village.

The richest ninja village in the ninja world.

Danzo Shimura was worried that his whereabouts would be discovered, and he also wanted to see how perfect Akihara Kagura's Wood Release talent was, so he hurriedly took the boy back to Konoha.

When Danzo Shimura returned to the village, he never liked to go through the main gate. Instead, he liked to sneak back to the base of the Root organization by opening the sealing barrier in the back mountain of Konoha.

Akihara Kagura followed Danzo Shimura into a well, and when they entered the Root organization's base, they immediately felt the eerie and dark atmosphere.

This boss...

The style of behavior is too dark!

The base of the entire root organization is deep underground.

Even though there were many classical pavilions and towers built inside the Root Organization's base, some of which were even luxuriously clinging to the mountain walls, they could not change the eerie feeling shrouded in darkness.

bang bang bang...

The dull sound of knocking on wood echoed underground.

A group of people couldn't help but look back at the boy who suddenly knocked on the railing.

"First."

Shimura Danzo looked a little unhappy, expressing his dissatisfaction with the boy's behavior, and said coldly: "What are you doing? Be quiet."

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

After responding, Akihara Kagura explained, "I originally thought it would be a stone railing, but it turned out to be wooden. Lord Orochimaru once mentioned it..."

"Shut up!"

Shimura Danzo's face was filled with anger. He stared at the boy and said in a cold voice, "A, from today on, completely forget the name of Orochimaru!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo."

Akihara Kagura agreed again and continued, "That gentleman mentioned that the air underground is humid and wooden buildings can easily rot."

"..."

Everyone present fell silent.

Danzo Shimura thought that he might have been too subtle in what he said just now, and wanted to say it again to let the little guy forget Orochimaru as a person and not just forget the name Orochimaru, but it seemed that he was being too fussy.

"I'm going to take care of official business."

Shimura Danzo shook his hands helplessly and ordered his subordinates: "Ryoma, help him arrange a place to live, let him understand the will of the root, and then bring him to see me."

"Yes."

Aburame Ryoma nodded respectfully and looked at the boy indifferently: "Follow me, don't run around, there are many forbidden areas in this base."

"I see."

Akihara Kagura followed Aburame Ryoma obediently.

The root tissue base is large in size.

The entire base is like a huge well, with a group of tall classical buildings clinging to the stone walls, and a series of covered bridges connecting these buildings together.

"A, this is your residence."

Aburame Ryoma brought Akihara Kagura to a dormitory.

There was only one cabinet in the whole room, a quilt was spread on the floor, and a lamp was placed in the corner. It looked a little empty.

"Well……"

Akihara Kagura took a look at her residence and put forward her request: "Please put a bed for me. I don't like sleeping on the floor..."

"No."

Aburame Ryoma shook his head and said coldly: "Root members do not need to have useless emotions and external feelings. All you have to do is accept the arrangement."

"..."

Akihara Kagura raised her eyebrows and asked, "Hey...are you my superior? Or, will you be my superior in the future?"

"No, and I won't."

Aburame Ryoma shook his head again and replied, "Danzo-sama is the only superior. Everyone's actions are based on Danzo-sama's orders."

In theory, this is true.

In fact, the Root also has some unspoken rules. As Danzo Shimura's personal bodyguard, Aburame Ryoma's status is obviously higher than other members.

However, the Root members had no distractions in their minds, and they only cared about the missions assigned by Lord Danzo. When did they ever care about the status of superiors and subordinates?

"Now I convey to you the will of the root..."

Aburame Ryoma didn't notice the boy's emotions, and continued to speak: "The members of the Root have no names, no feelings, no past, and no future. They only have missions in their hearts. What supports the big tree of Konoha is the will deeply rooted in our 'Roots'..."

"what's your name?"

Akihara Kagura asked her first question.

"Aburame Ryoma."

"Doesn't this have a name? You're not a member of the Root?"

"That's not a name."

Aburame Ryoma answered very quickly, as if he had already been brainwashed in a similar way: "Aburame Ryoma is my code name in the Root. Lord Danzo is familiar with my past, so he used my past name as my code name in the Root."

"You are remembering that you have a past..."

Akihara Kagura seemed to have found a loophole and said slowly: "This is not in line with the will of our roots..."

Chapter 7 Why do you dare to call me by this name!

Aburame Ryoma had an illusion.

Although Akihara Kagura is a newcomer who has just joined the Root organization, it feels like when this young man speaks, he sounds a bit like a leader in charge of personnel in the Root organization.

Own……

Instead, he looks like a new applicant?

Aburame Ryoma thought there was something wrong with this exchange of dialogue.

After thinking for a while, Aburame Ryoma found that he could not answer the questions raised by Akihara Kagura, nor could he interpret the will of the Root.

Can't solve the problem...

Affirmation can only solve the person who asked the question.

Aburame Ryoma simply refused to get entangled with Akihara Kagura and said coldly: "Kid, Senior's affairs are not your concern. Just take care of your own problems."

"I just don't quite understand what the will of the roots represents."

Akihara Kagura looked at Aburame Ryoma and asked a question: "Without a past and a future, what is my life?"

"Task."

Aburame Ryoma immediately answered this question: "Just carry out your mission seriously, there is no need to think about what your life is..."

"Then tell me..."

Akihara Kagura raised a philosophical question: "The tasks I will do in the future will become the past, so do the tasks in the past have any meaning? Do the tasks in the future that I have not yet done have any meaning?"

"..."

Aburame Ryoma fell silent.

This ninja from the Aburame clan understood the philosophical thinking proposed by Akihara Kagura, and finally decided to choose the simplest solution: "Just carry out the mission seriously, there is no need to think about whether your mission has any meaning..."

"..."

Akihara Kagura couldn't help but admire the other party a little.

"First……"

Aburame Ryoma was afraid that the little guy would ask some weird philosophical questions again, so he planned to completely cut off the kid's messy thoughts with words.

"You are a member of the Root..."

“There’s no need to think about these issues.”

"All you have to do is forget your name, forget your feelings, forget your past, forget your future, and just carry out the mission that Master Danzo has given you!"

"Okay, okay, I get it..."

Akihara Kagura agreed perfunctorily.

"I hope you can do it..."

Just when Aburame Ryoma thought he had finally solved the problem, a fist suddenly hit his lower abdomen, slamming him heavily against the wall!

"I understand everything."

The young boy Akira Kagura twisted his wrist and said in a cold voice: "But... Aburame Ryoma, who allowed you to call Jia this name?"

"What……"

Aburame Ryoma spat out a mouthful of blood in astonishment.

Whether from the perspective of identity or strength, or even from the perspective of logic, Aburame Ryoma couldn't figure out why this newcomer wanted to attack him?

the most important is……

This kid is so strong and so fast!

Akihara Kagura's physical fitness is extremely amazing. Aburame Ryoma has no idea that Orochimaru also relies on the curse seal to restrain Akihara Kagura in order to avoid the boy's sneak attack.

The senior ninja Aburame Ryoma had no time to react before he was severely injured by the young man's sneak attack, and even his internal organs were damaged by the punch!

"The name A was given to me by Danzo-sama."

Akihara Kagura walked up to Ryoma Aburame, looked at the seriously injured senior, and explained in a cold voice the reason why she had sneak attacked Ryoma Aburame.

"From today on, remember this!"

"this world……"

"Only Danzo-sama can call me by the name Kabuto!"

"..."

Aburame Ryoma couldn't understand the boy's train of thought.

This little devil...

There must be something wrong with your brain!

Aburame Ryoma opened his mouth and spat out blood again, saying: "A is just a code name, and it is the only code name you can use in the future..."

"But not what you can call it."

Akihara Kagura shook her head, as if thinking for a while, and said: "If you come to find me in the future, just call me by the name I used in the past. After all, it's not like we haven't used past names before..."

"I see...wait, this isn't right..."

Aburame Ryoma looked at the boy standing next to him, and decided not to be influenced by his way of thinking. He gradually began to think normally: "The child is still too arrogant. Maybe Orochimaru doted on you too much before..."

Aburame Ryoma slowly struggled and fell down from the wall, holding his aching abdomen, and said while enduring the pain: "Newbie... after all, he still needs... a lesson..."
