The Root organization ninjas all had this thought in their hearts. The originally noisy passage instantly quieted down again, and they all raised their heads and looked at Kaoru on the high platform with an unbelievable gaze.
This move was a curse seal technique exclusive to Danzō. By applying the curse seal on the tongue, Danzō used this move to bind all of his subordinates, so that they couldn't reveal information and secrets about himself and the Root organization. And this move would only become invalid after Danzō's death.
"That's right." Looking at the expressions of all the Root organization ninjas below, Kaoru nodded with satisfaction: "Shimura Danzō has been killed by me. He's no longer in this world, and the "Root" is no longer led by him....."
"From now on, I, Uchiha Kaoru, will become the new leader of "Root". You will all be under my leadership from now on."
"However, I won't leave any curse seals or anything like that on you. You only need to accept the tasks that I distribute to you as before."
"Now, does anyone object......"
Kaoru's cold words entered the ears of every Root organization ninja. He clearly explained everything that had happened.
The ninjas below looked at me, and I looked at you. Some of them hesitated, and some of them showed unwillingness, but none of them dared to make a direct decision, because they didn't know if Danzō was really dead.
At this time, the five Root organization ninjas who had been spared by Kaoru all knelt down on one knee, and shouted in a low voice: "Yes, Lord Uchiha Kaoru!"
Seeing this, the other Root organization ninjas finally stopped hesitating and began to follow suit. Before long, all of the more than a thousand people in the field knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison: "Yes! Lord Uchiha Kaoru!"
Kaoru nodded with satisfaction above. These ninjas had been instilled with the concept of loyalty to Konoha from the beginning, and they had indeed done so. But during Danzō's tenure, they were all living in fear, with curse seals engraved on their bodies, and they couldn't even control their own lives. In a way, it could be said that Kaoru had saved them.
Of course, Kaoru's prestige in Konoha Village had also shocked them before. He had repelled Orochimaru with his own strength, saved the Third Hokage, and was called the hero of Konoha. And now he had killed Danzō, and Kaoru's powerful image had been deeply imprinted in everyone's hearts.
However, there must still be guys among these people who didn't submit to Kaoru, but Kaoru didn't care. He had ways to change those people's thoughts. Of course, if they were too stubborn, then he could only let them go down and accompany Danzō.
Moreover, if he made the elite ninjas in the Root organization submit first, then it would be easier to subdue the others.
"Very good, let's leave it at that for now." Kaoru nodded. Although he had already subdued the people in one Root organization base, he knew very little about the internal situation of the Root organization. He still had to understand the operation methods of the Root organization first.
Thinking of this, Kaoru announced loudly again: "Convey the news that I have become the new leader to the other organization members. Three days later, summon all the members of "Root" to this place!"
"Now, dismiss!"
With Kaoru's order, all the ninjas below responded, and then walked towards different rooms, and began to carry out their previous work.
"I've finally solved one thing." After doing all of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Kaoru's mouth.
At this time, Shin walked over and said to Kaoru: "Lord Kaoru, do you want to go to the next Root organization base to take a look?"
"Don't call me Lord Kaoru when it's not a formal occasion." Kaoru laughed: "It makes me feel very uncomfortable when you call me that."
Hearing Kaoru say this, Shin nodded with a smile: "Alright, but the people here today aren't all of the Root organization. Are you still going to other bases to take a look?"
"No, before meeting all the members, I want to first understand the operation of the Root organization and the information and materials that have been collected over the years." Saying this, Kaoru looked at Aburame Torune: "Where is Danzō's usual office?"
"Come with me." Aburame Torune nodded, and then led Kaoru to a relatively spacious room. There was only a chair and a desk here, and bookshelves filled with books.
After flipping through it a little, Kaoru discovered that everything in the room was just ordinary documents, and no other information or materials were found.
"It seems that there should be a secret door or something, otherwise it's impossible for there to be only these things." After flipping through it for a while, Kaoru guessed inwardly.
"You guys go out first, I'll take a look in the room by myself." After sending the others away, Kaoru stood in the center of the room, and scattered the chakra in his body, sensing the surrounding environment, and at the same time activated the Sharingan to check the situation in the office, to see if he could find any secret doors.
"As expected!"
Kaoru's eyes lit up, and he quickly came to the bottom of the desk. It was from there that he felt the fluctuation of chakra.
"It seems that there should be a basement below. So where is the mechanism to open the door?" After groping for a while, Kaoru discovered a vase on the desk, and it seemed to be covered with chakra as well.
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Kaoru applied chakra to the vase, and a secret door opened in the ground under the desk with a "bang" sound.
"Found it." Kaoru smiled slightly and walked in quickly.
First, he walked through a long secret passage, and then came to a dark room. This was a small collection room-like place, and this place was completely occupied by bookshelves. The bookshelves were densely packed with countless scrolls, and the scrolls were carefully classified, "Information," "Ninjutsu," "First Generation Secret Techniques," "Second Generation Forbidden Techniques," and so on.
"It seems that this is the most secret place of the Root organization. Only by mastering this place can one truly master "Root"."
After flipping through a few scrolls at random, it seemed that there were a lot of ninjutsu and forbidden techniques recorded here, even more than the Book of Seals in the hands of the Third Hokage. Apart from Orochimaru's Eight Branches Technique, most of the Uchiha clan's ninjutsu were also recorded here, such as Susanoo, Izanagi, and even Izanami!
Not only that, the information was also very rich. Kaoru randomly extracted a piece of information and found that it was information about Kirigakure in the Land of Water. It was recorded on this that the Mizukage of Kirigakure had changed his personality drastically and ruled Kirigakure with bloody means, and it was suspected that the Mizukage had been manipulated.
"That guy Danzō is really powerful. He's able to collect such information." With a sigh, Kaoru put down the scroll in his hand and continued to wander around this room, but when he came to the innermost wall of this room, he was shocked.
Some shelves had been chiseled out on this wall, and on these shelves, there were a lot of bottles and jars, and most of these bottles and jars were filled with Sharingan!
"I thought that Danzō only had Sharingan on his arm, but I didn't expect that there would be so many in his secret base....." Looking at the Sharingan in the liquid, Kaoru couldn't help but sigh. There were probably twenty or thirty Sharingan in this room.......
Not only that, apart from the Sharingan, there were also some human tissues and several Byakugan soaked here, which made Kaoru feel like he had come to a medical museum.
"As expected of Root, which has been operating for decades, Danzō's collection is really quite rich....." Kaoru sighed repeatedly, wondering what the Third Hokage would think if he knew that Danzō had so many things.
Just as Kaoru was in the basement of the Root organization's base, enjoying Danzō's secrets to his heart's content, a shocking news also came from the Hokage Building, to Tsunade, who was at her desk.
"Reporting, Lord Hokage, we found a large number of ninja corpses in Tamasura in the Land of Waterfall. There seems to have been a fierce battle!" A ninja wearing a mask came to Tsunade's front and said, kneeling on one knee.
"A large number of ninja corpses?!" Tsunade suddenly got up from her seat and asked quickly: "What exactly is going on?"
"We have already transported these corpses back to Konoha. It can be preliminarily determined that they are all Konoha ninjas. Although most of them are wearing masks, they are not Anbu ninjas. As for which department they belong to, we are investigating."
"First take me to see the situation of those corpses!" Tsunade waved her hand and said, and then looked at Shizune beside her: "Shizune, have Wan'er come to the laboratory to find me!"
"Yes!" Shizune nodded and said.
