Chapter 160: The rejected old man Danzo! Uchiha Fugaku's debut!
"We're here!"
With a clear, cold voice, the Anbu members in front of Uzumaki Kyoji suddenly stopped!
They quickly dispersed to both sides!
Right in front of Uzumaki Kyoji, several figures were faintly visible!
Leading them was Lord Danzo himself!
"Uzumaki Kyoji! We meet again!"
Seeing Uzumaki Kyoji arrive, Danzo's lips curved into a confident smile!
His deep voice echoed continuously in the empty cavern!
However, one thing Danzo overlooked was that Uzumaki Kyoji was still just a child!
The dim light, the brutal methods, the one-eyed man, the lunatic's smile—in just a brief moment, they shattered the impression Danzo had left in Uzumaki Kyoji's heart!
All that remained was endless disgust and alienation!
"May I ask if there's something you wish to command, having gone to such lengths to bring me here?"
"What a direct brat!"
"However, this is in line with the Uzumaki Clan's character!"
"Uzumaki Kyoji! I hope you can join Root and serve Root!"
"In return, I will provide you with the best training resources, help you become a true powerhouse, and revive the Uzumaki Clan!"
Compared to the last time in the Hokage Office, Danzo's promises were not much different.
Or rather, under the premise that Root did not yet possess independence, the only thing Danzo could offer to win people over were empty promises.
"Revive the Uzumaki Clan, you say?"
"If that's the case, then I must refuse!"
The answer Danzo expected did not come from Uzumaki Kyoji's mouth.
Through Fujiwara Tetsuya's countless days and nights of intentional or unintentional indoctrination, a deep-seated hatred still lurked within Uzumaki Kyoji's heart.
However, for the current Uzumaki Kyoji, the most important thing was to survive well.
With Uzumaki Meika and Uzumaki Kushina, he needed to constantly strengthen himself and gather the scattered members of the Uzumaki Clan.
Without enough clan members, merely by himself, or by the three of them, talking about reviving the Uzumaki Clan was just a joke!
Even if the Uzumaki Clan's name were truly revived, in the end, it would only be a fleeting moment.
"Refuse...?"
"Brat! It seems you still haven't understood where you are!"
"This old man is not discussing with you!"
"From the moment you stepped into Root, you lost your choice!"
"Root! Whether you like it or not, you must join!"
"Owl!"
Seeing Uzumaki Kyoji refuse, Danzo's expression immediately turned cold!
However, Root had been established for so many years, and he had seen too many brats from Shinobi Clans like Uzumaki Kyoji.
Once their spirits were broken, their submission was only a matter of time.
"Lord Danzo!"
"Take this brat and lock him up! As for what needs to be done, I shouldn't need to remind you too much, right?"
"Please rest assured, Lord Danzo! One month... no, one week at most!"
"I will definitely discipline this brat to be perfectly submissive!"
"And make him willingly join Root!"
With a cold snort, Danzo left the base with several Root members.
As for Uzumaki Kyoji, he was picked up by Owl and thrown into a relatively sealed secret room.
Except for the narrow air vent, from which a faint whistling sound occasionally came, everything here was isolated from the world, as if he had entered an alternate dimension.
"Big Brother Tetsuya! Big Sister Meihua! Kushina!"
"I will never give in!"
Gazing at the endless darkness around him, Uzumaki Kyoji took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.
Indeed! Just as Big Brother Tetsuya said, even Konoha had unfathomable darkness.
...Hokage Office!
After Uesugi Yusuke met Hiruzen Sarutobi, Anbu members followed closely.
Then came the Military Police Force members.
Suddenly, the relatively quiet Hokage Office became quite lively!
"Fugaku! I didn't expect the Military Police Force to be on duty today!"
The one who arrived with Tanaka Rina was none other than Uchiha Fugaku!
He was the strongest among the new generation of the Uchiha Clan, with the highest acclaim!
At nineteen years old, he had already reached the level of an Elite Jonin!
"Yes, Hokage-sama!"
"I also didn't expect to encounter such a troublesome matter today!"
If it were other Uchiha Clan members, upon learning of this matter, they would have wished to escalate it indefinitely, making it known to everyone, to thoroughly embarrass the Hokage lineage.
Although he also possessed the Uchiha Clan's bloodline, Uchiha Fugaku was different from those volatile clan members.
Rationality, in a sense, suppressed the impulses within Uchiha Fugaku's heart.
"Thank you very much for coming!"
"You'll need to pay more attention to the Military Police Force!"
"As for Uzumaki Kyoji's matter, leave it to me to handle!"
"Yusuke! Rina! You both did well! You can go back for now!"
"It won't be long before Tetsuya and Kyoji return!"
While comforting everyone, Hiruzen Sarutobi also stood up, quite troubled.
His heart was filled with resentment towards Danzo.
He wondered when his old friend would finally listen to his instructions and retract his restless claws.
"In that case, I won't disturb you!"
"Farewell!"
Seeing Uchiha Fugaku and the Anbu members leave one after another, Uesugi Yusuke and Tanaka Rina, though filled with unease, could only respectfully bow and leave the room.
A few minutes later, more than a dozen figures suddenly appeared on the Hokage Building's terrace.
Led by Hiruzen Sarutobi, they quickly rushed towards the Root base.
Clearly, Hiruzen Sarutobi was aware of Danzo's temperament.
The whistling wind constantly brushed past Fujiwara Tetsuya's ears.
After several tens of minutes of continuous rushing, Fujiwara Tetsuya finally arrived above the Root base.
Beneath Fujiwara Tetsuya's feet was an ordinary rock hill, no more, no less.
In the vast dense forest of the west, there were hundreds, if not a thousand, such rock hills.
Without a precise location, if Fujiwara Tetsuya had to search by himself, it would take at least ten days to half a month.
"A barrier, huh!"
"But a barrier of this level is still a bit lacking if it wants to stop me!"
Amidst the screeching of Chidori, Fujiwara Tetsuya felt his feet sink, and a colorless barrier shattered with a roar!
A two-meter wide stone cave slowly appeared before Fujiwara Tetsuya!
Just as Fujiwara Tetsuya stepped into the stone cave without hesitation, the Root members also noticed that the barrier had been broken!
In just a few tens of seconds, dozens of figures gathered in front of Owl!
"Third and Fifth Squads!"
"Go bring the intruder back to me!"
"I want to see who dares to invade my Root base!"
