The Adventurous Gamer Ninja - Daichi Hekima [Vol. 01]

Chapter 128 - Interlude 08 - The Power of Senju and Uchiha

Location - Dozen miles away from the Leaf Village.

It was a snowy December night. A team of ninjas covered entirely in black battle gear was moving through the woods near the leaf village. They were speeding through the trees in a diamond formation. In the center of the team was an old man with his entire body shrouded in darkness.

Several meters behind them were 4 other teams composed of ninjas wearing the same gear. Each of them, a formidable group of shinobi capable of battling against even the strongest Jonins and together the teams of ninjas would be capable of taking on and even killing S Rank nins.

As the teams all sped through the forest silently, a figure with half black and half white face appeared from the earth without being detected.

Only half the body of the strange creature was present atop the earth.

He was Zetsu. The spy of the Akatsuki. Zetsu looked at ninjas who vanished from his sights after a few seconds. He already analyzed and found the organization they belonged to.

'They're from the Root. But this many teams...? This is unusual. And If I'm not mistaken, that was Danzo's chakra coming from the lead team. He's usually not the type to leave the village and expose himself like this. And the number of ninjas protecting him. Something significant is going down. I need to find out what...'

"I wonder what they're up to..."

"Let's follow them." The gruff voice of Black Zetsu replied to the question of his white counterpart.

—-----------------------------------------------------------------------

After some time the team of Root ninjas reached their destination. They came to a stop in front of a small cave.

"Fu!"

The man in the lead team only said a single word. But it conveyed his intentions.

A ninja from the lead team raised his right hand, made a half ram seal and closed his eyes. After a few seconds he looked at the man in the center.

"All clear, Lord Danzo. I can only sense one chakra at the base."

The man Danzo Shimura removed his hood and walked forward.

At that moment another man from the other team also joined Danzo's group.

"Let's move." With Danzo's orders several of his Root walked into the cave and then Danzo and the rest followed.

The cave looked small and ordinary from the outside but the interior was much deeper. As they reached the end of the cave, Danzo made a hand-seal and an entrance opened up.

"Fu, Torune, Shigaraki! You're with me. The rest of you, secure the perimeter." Danzo gave the order and went inside the cave followed by his two most capable ninjas and the scientist of his organization.

The wall closed behind them and a barrier came into existence. As the Root ninjas began securing the area one of them was concerned about what was happening.

'When Lord Hokage tasked me with infiltrating the root, I never could have imagined that things would be this bad. I know he's meeting with Orochimaru right now but that's it. I don't know what's going on or what this is about but whatever it is, it must be huge. Danzo doesn't even trust his own people with what's happening in there... Fu and Torune are the most loyal and some of the strongest of the Root ninjas and I know that Shigaraki is the Researcher... What exactly is happening in there? Damn it! I can't get any closer without exposing my intention...'
