Chapter 358: The Cub Orochimaru

"I'm not going to the roots! I want to stay with the dean, serve him, and protect the orphanage!"

Urusi spoke first.

As a child who grew up in the Konoha Orphanage, Urushi, like Kabuto, witnessed the years when Danzo coerced Nono, and the impact Danzo had on the orphanage.

Not to mention a few secret manuals, even if Danzo promised to personally accept him as his disciple, he would shake his head without hesitation.

But Urusi is not the only child with a strong opinion.

Especially Feng Mo Lan.

He always holds the great vision of reviving the Fuma clan in his heart, and wants to protect his sister. Lan, who comes from a ninja family, never thinks he can do it unarmed.

Just like the slander that just happened in the street, if he has strength, influence, power, and fame, who can slander him? Who dares to slander him!

There is only one reason why it is difficult to excuse, and that is that the strength is not strong enough.

"Thank you, Dean, I..."

After looking at her younger sister Sasame, Fuuma Lan decided to bring it up.

"I plan to go to the Root and study to become a ninja."

For a moment, the little kids around the long table fell silent.

Although they are young, children in the ninja world tend to be more sensible from a young age, especially orphans like them who have experienced the vicissitudes of life.

He looked at Feng Mo Lan for a while, then at Yakushi Nono, until Nono smiled and nodded, and finally the next child spoke.

"I...Dean, I want to go too..."

Nono sighed inwardly but maintained a gentle smile on his face.

"It's okay, kids. I've told you that the dean will unconditionally support your pursuit. As long as I can help you, this is the meaning of the Konoha Orphanage's existence, and the meaning of my existence."

Such encouraging words immediately moved the children to tears.

"Dean...Dean, me too."

"I want to go too."

......

A small number of children have made their choice, but among the remaining children, almost none are as determined as Urusi, and most are still hesitating.

Among the children who chose to go to their roots, most of them did not grow up in orphanages, but were orphans brought from all over the place after the war.

Among them, of course, are Kimimaro and Haku.

But this does not include Shigeo.

Because long before the Third World War, Jūgo had been let out by Orochimaru, and the curse seal was studied from Jūgo's body. However, before that, Jūgo himself was not aware that he was in a state of being let out by Orochimaru. Because the power of immortal arts was often extracted for research, Jūgo was awake for very little time every day, so how could he know?

After being captured by Obiru and brought to Konoha, Jūgo became quiet and didn't communicate with others most of the time, but he also had very little time to become violent and demonic.

Orochimaru naturally noticed Jūgo, but after Orochimaru became the Fourth Hokage, he had very little time for research and experiments, and the experiments on the curse seal had been stopped long ago, so he did not specifically bring Jūgo back to his laboratory.

However, as his experimental subject, it was impossible for Jūgo to leave Orochimaru's sight, so he reminded Nono of this privately.

If she wanted, Nono could return to the roots, but not Jūgo.

The children made their choice, but they didn't know how to get to the Root. Nono didn't want Danzo to use any tricks against these children, causing them to go astray, so he simply took the children directly to the Root's base - and was forced to give Danzo a big gift.

Tread-tap-

Nono held Fuma Arashi in his left hand and Fuma Sasame in his right hand, and a group of little kids followed behind, hiding in front of him.

"Nono, why are you still going back to my roots?"

Danzo sneered and asked knowingly.

But this behavior immediately made many young kids back off.

The leader of the Root, Lord Danzo, doesn’t look like a good person!

Nono remained expressionless in the face of Danzo's behavior.

"Master Danzo, isn't this what you wish to see? I have sent the children to you. Please treat them well and don't forget the orders of the Fourth Hokage."

"Humph!"

As soon as he heard the name Orochimaru, Danzo got furious.

Orochimaru does not allow Danzo to snatch children from the orphanage. In other words, these children can come to the Root voluntarily, but if they want to leave, Danzo cannot let them go!

Isn’t this disgusting enough?

Do you know who the root let go before?

It was Orochimaru! The bastard Danzo had just trained him, and after he took the position of Hokage, he turned around and fucked Danzo!

If this wasn't the end, all the people who left the Root afterward were forced to leave by Orochimaru! Aburame Ryoma! Tenzo! These were all incredibly talented ninjas, and Orochimaru had them all pulled into the Anbu to use!

"Master Danzo, before coming here, I have already communicated with the Anbu ninja..."

"Long-winded!"

Danzo interrupted Nono.

I forced myself to suppress the unhappiness in my heart.

Mr. Gu Zang told him that he could only obtain those ninjas that could be obtained first, and he must never go against the Fourth Hokage Orochimaru.

Danzo himself knew that if he wanted to keep the child obtained in this way, he could not rely on the more despicable means of the past.

It is almost impossible to rely on emotional bonds, and Danzo himself does not have much of that stuff, so if Danzo wants to keep these children in the roots, he has to rely on serious training and find out what these children are pursuing.

"The era when ninjas were simply tools has passed, Danzo. A better life allows the people of Konoha to have more pursuits. You and I both need to change our mindsets."

This was Mr. Gu Zang's advice, and Dan Zang took it very seriously.

"If you want to learn and progress at the Root, come to me. The first step to joining the Root is to break away from the protection of your dean and become independent... Child, if you can't even stand steadily and don't dare to face me, then go back to the orphanage. Don't let me see you looking like a coward! Do you understand?"

Danzo no longer looked at Nono, but stared at the children in the front. He had a stern face, but his words were not evil.

At a certain moment, Nono felt that the Danzo in front of him... was he still the same decisive and murderous Shinobi?

If it were in the past, Danzo would never say anything like independence or cowardice to the child.

People are just left there. If you want to live, try your best. If you don’t try your best, then just die.

Ta-ta-ta—ta-ta-ta—

The children made their choice.

Most of the children who followed Nono still walked to Danzo's desk and tried to look directly at Danzo's old face.

Only a few were frightened by Danzo and stopped behind Nono.

Danzo was very satisfied with this. As for those who didn't come, they were just trash. They would be cannon fodder if they were brought to the Root. If they died too quickly, Orochimaru would find fault with them again, which was unnecessary.

"very good."

Danzo leaned on the table, stood up, walked to the front of the desk, blocked the little kids behind him, put his arms behind his back and looked down at Nono.

"What are you still doing here? Do you want to come back to me, Nono?"
