"Lure out Danzo..."
"It's part of our plan."
Uchiha Sasuke stood on a tree with a calm expression, casually chatting with Kabuto: "From what I hear, Shimura Danzo has been idle at home since the Uchiha clan incident four years ago and the Root was dissolved by the Hokage..."
"That's right."
Kabuto nodded.
Kabuto spoke of specific information about Shimura Danzo while glancing at Naruto Uzumaki, Haruno Sakura, and Karin fishing by the river in the distance, and couldn't help but smile at the peaceful little group by the river.
Team 7 looked as if they were on a leisurely spring outing.
It didn't seem like they were here to participate in the Chunin Exam at all.
"The Root must be reestablished..."
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at Kabuto and spoke softly: "Once the Root is reestablished and Konoha is in control, I will become the new leader of the Root..."
"No matter what..."
"We have to seize control of the Root!"
Because this was the path Akihara Kagura had taken, Uchiha Sasuke thought it was the best choice to follow Akihara Kagura's path in the uncertainty of the future!
Karin as well...
Kabuto as well...
Shimura Danzo's Root as well...
All must be in his grasp.
Even though everyone in the real world might curse Akihara Kagura, Uchiha Sasuke always considered himself Akihara Kagura's successor.
In this world...
Everything Akihara Kagura once obtained...
Uchiha Sasuke also wanted to hold in his hands, following his example!
Even if Uchiha Sasuke didn't understand Akihara Kagura, he knew that anything Akihara Kagura did couldn't be wrong; there must be a reason for everything Akihara Kagura did!
"..."
Kabuto was somewhat puzzled.
But...
The Root was created by Danzo himself!
Uchiha Sasuke was just like those people in the so-called genjutsu world, obsessed with Shimura Danzo's Root. Why did he want to become the leader of the Root so badly?
"It's not going to be easy."
Kabuto frowned, having to mention Shimura Danzo's stubbornness: "Shimura Danzo will hold all the power in his hands. Even if Sasuke-kun wants to kill Shimura Danzo, he would never hand over the leadership of the Root to you..."
"Hmph..."
Uchiha Sasuke's lips curled into a faint sneer, as if extremely confident in his plan: "As long as I can get into the Root, the leadership position is definitely mine!"
"..."
Kabuto's brows remained furrowed.
No matter how Kabuto thought about it, he couldn't figure out how Uchiha Sasuke planned to take the leadership position from Danzo.
"Once I become the leader of the Root..."
Uchiha Sasuke looked towards Karin by the river and then at Kabuto beside him: "Everything else will be easy..."
This world...
Won't be as awful anymore.
"Someone's coming."
Kabuto looked into the distance.
A group of Genin squads appeared faintly.
Among them were squads from several small Ninja Villages, and even some Konoha Ninjas. They also saw some of the new generation Ninjas from the third, eighth, and tenth teams.
"It's indeed Sasuke!"
Rock Lee from the third team immediately spotted Uchiha Sasuke!
"I already saw him..."
Hyuga Neji glanced at his companions and couldn't help but speak: "If Team 7 wasn't here, you wouldn't have insisted on coming..."
"What are they doing here?"
Tenten curiously peeked out from behind a large tree, cautiously observing Team 7, Kabuto, and Karin's group: "It seems like there are two other people with them?"
On the other side.
Team 8 was also curious.
"Hehehe..."
Inuzuka Kiba from Team 8 hid in a corner, watching Naruto Uzumaki, Haruno Sakura, and Karin fishing, couldn't help but laugh: "That idiot Naruto is fishing in such a dangerous place. Doesn't he know there are many people watching?"
"Naruto-kun..."
Hyuga Hinata from Team 8 looked worried, her face showing visible veins, able to observe everyone's presence nearby. She began to worry: "More and more enemies are coming, eleven squads..."
"Should we make a move amidst the chaos..."
Aburame Shino from Team 8 stood behind his two teammates, wearing sunglasses. He raised his finger, a small black bug crawling on his fingertip: "There will certainly be a melee here, and among those eleven teams, there must be a scroll we need..."
"Eh?"
Inuzuka Kiba curiously glanced back at Aburame Shino and couldn't help scratching his head: "Shino, you're here too?"
"I've been behind you two all along."
Aburame Shino looked at his two teammates.
Was his presence...
truly that low?
While the other two new generation ninja teams were still observing the situation, the new generation ninjas from the tenth team had already made their decision.
"Get ready."
Nara Shikamaru from Team 10 peeked out from behind a rock, softly reminding his two teammates: "Soon, a group of people will attack Naruto and Sasuke, and the scene will surely become chaotic. We'll take the chance to grab the scroll we need amidst the chaos..."
"Mm!"
Yamanaka Ino and Akimichi Choji from Team 10 quickly nodded.
After all, the intelligence of the Nara Clan was acknowledged by Konoha's historical ninjas. The two of them were quite timid and didn't dare to fight too many people, so they simply decided to follow Nara Shikamaru's plan to reap the benefits, trying to use their abilities to stealthily take a needed scroll.
