Hokage’s Strongest Insect Master

When Zhizhen came out of the shower, Xianglin was already asleep on the sofa.

She slept soundly with a slight smile.

The corner of Zhizhen's mouth curled slightly, and he carefully carried her back to the room, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

After that, Zhizhen returned to his room and fell directly on the bed.

At the end of the day today, he was really tired.

Thinking back to today's battle, Zhizhen began to sum up the experience and lessons.

"This time, I'm still careless." Zhizhen muttered to himself while looking at the ceiling.

"After such a battle, Orochimaru may not appear in a short time. The time for him to attack Konoha is probably still in the finals, which means I still have a month to increase my strength."

Zhizhen thought: "Now Jiraiya is back, with him, Konoha has no worries for the time being. After the quarter-finals, go to Juyegu to practice deeply."

"And Danzo... Orochimaru came back with such a big event, he didn't even show his face, and none of his people saw it..." Zhizhen has never forgotten Danzo's messenger.

In the original book, when Orochimaru was still in Konoha, Danzo and he were in trouble.

"It looks like I really want to sit back and watch Orochimaru make trouble." Zhizhen doesn't know yet, Danzo knows Orochimaru's whole plan, but thinks Danzo just wants to watch the fire from the shore.

"Huh, it's fine. He's not a bad thing, he just helped. At this moment, it's not about his timing." Zhizhen decided to put Danzo aside for the time being.

In his eyes, Danzo does not engage in trouble, does not help, it is the best situation.

However, Zhizhen didn't know it. Danzo was going to watch the fire from the shore, but now he has a new idea.

...

Konoha's underground pipes are cold and humid.

Danzo occupies here like a mouse in a stinking ditch.

He stood on a high place with his cane.

Below, the members of the four roots are kneeling on one knee.

"How's the situation?" Danzo opened his eyes, with a sharp killing intent in his eyes.

"Yes, since he came out of the Third Generation office, he has been taking the little girl to play in Konoha, eat, go shopping, and watch movies. Now he has just returned home." One Gen said.

"He is relaxed." Danzo sneered and said, "At this moment, he still has the heart to accompany a woman."

"Has the identity of that woman been found?" Danzo asked coldly after the conversation turned around.

"Her name is Xianglin, Genin from Kushinin Village. It was Aburame Shima who brought it back from the Death Forest. According to investigations, this person was originally seen by Orochimaru, but was snatched by Aburame Shima."

"Fragrant Phosphorus? Orochimaru saw her, that means that this woman must be surprising, maybe she is a talent." Danzo has no doubt about Orochimaru's eyes, based on his understanding of Orochimaru, whoever is attracted by him, That must be something extraordinary.

"Do you need to bring it back?" Yamanaka Feng asked.

"No, it's not the right time for that kid. Xianglin is with him now, but he is protected by him. Going to catch her back will only cause the kid to trouble us." Danzo said.

"My lord is joking. Just Aburame Shima, what's the fear?" Yamanaka said.

"Do you think I would be afraid of him?" Danzo said coldly.

"Don't dare." Several roots lowered their heads.

"Humph." Danzo said coldly, "It's just that it's not what it used to be."

He smiled sullenly: "I just missed it. This sunglasses kid grew faster than I imagined. In just half a year, he grew up to the point where he could fight Orochimaru."

News of Shizhen's battle with Orochimaru naturally reached Danzo's ears.

This shocked Danzo, and his defense and killing intent on Zhizhen soared like a rocket.

"But in front of you, it's still just a powerful bug." Yamanaka said in a wind: "It takes no effort to crush him."

Danzo was very comfortable with this flattery. He sneered and agreed with this statement. He said: "The bug is not fake, but the owner of the bug is different."

"You mean... Third Generation?" a root asked.

Danzo nodded, "Now he is very important to Hiruzen. Killing him now will only arouse Hiruzen's anger. Also, now that Jiraiya is back, he is not a simple character."

"Then just sit back and watch Aburame Shima's status in Konoha rise?" Yamanaka asked.

"What do you think? Take the root?" Danzo didn't answer, but instead asked Aburame to take the root, without any expression on his face.

He, who hasn't spoken all the time, can no longer keep silent: "Now Zhizhen's status is mainly dependent on Third Hokage. Without Third Hokage, Zhizhen has no status at all."

With that said, Take Root glanced at Danzo, only to see Danzo closed his eyes and didn't express his opinion. Taking Root then went on to say: "As soon as the Third Generation dies, Aburame Zhizhen can kill if he wants to kill."

"Very good." Danzo smiled and was very satisfied with the answer to take the roots: "The point is still Hiruzen. As long as he is not there, the rest is not a concern. So, don't make any extravagances. If you really want to do something with him, you have to wait until Orochimaru at the earliest. The day of attack."

"Moreover, Orochimaru will help us too. This time when Zhizhen was injured and suffered such a big loss, that guy won't just let it go." Danzo said.

"What if Orochimaru can't kill him?" Yamanaka Feng asked.

Danzo glanced at Yamanaka Feng and opened his eyes: "Then wait for Hiruzen to die, and I will do it myself."

"Yes!" several people answered.

Taking the roots heard the words: "My lord, now that Zhizhen's strength is not what he used to be, it would be a pity to kill him like this. Why not let me persuade him to join the roots."

When Danzo heard the words, he looked towards taking the roots, and the killing intent was looming in his eyes.

Before he could speak, Yamanaka Feng shouted: "Take the roots, don't try to help that kid."

"No, everything I do is for the roots. If you really join in, the power of the roots can rise to a higher level." Take the roots and say: "My lord, I am absolutely selfless!"

Danzo squinted his eyes and said, "No, Aburame Zhizhen must die."

"My lord?" Take the root for a moment.

"If you persuade him, it will only make him defensive against me. And he will not join the roots, so I will not sit and watch him, a ninja of the Third Generation faction, develop under my nose."

"I see." Taking the roots is weak in persuading.

Yamanaka took a look at the roots and asked: "But my lord, this Chūnin exam and Mizukage Tsuchikage are here. If they help, Orochimaru alone will probably not be effective. Should we do something? "

Danzo knows the details of Orochimaru, with Impure World Reincarnation in his hands, he has the ability to fight them.

Therefore, Danzo said: "Don't think too much, we just need to wait for the moment."

After speaking, Danzo turned around and went into the pipe, and as he walked deeper, he asked: "Remember, don't make any extravagances."

Several roots bowed their heads, then got up and dispersed.

"Take the roots, don't do anything that betrays the roots, everything Danzo-sama does is for Konoha." As he left, Yamanaka Kaze said to Take roots.

"I understand, don't worry." Take the root answer.

Yamanaka heard the wind and didn't say much, turned and left.

To this old friend, Yamanaka Feng believes he has a sense of measure.

But that's how it is said, but taking roots is a different idea.

"Jizhen? I didn't expect that the Aburame clan would have a talent like him..." Taking Root thought, he walked to the ground.

"For the sake of the Aburame clan, Zhizhen must not die!" Takegen secretly clenched his fists.

In the shadows, Danzo went back and forth, looking at the back of taking roots, coldly said: "Go, follow to take roots."

"Yes! Your lord!" An unsentimental voice came from the darkness.
