Chapter 420

Shibi Aburame wanted to say something but stopped.

He had originally wanted to say that this was Tsunade's home, but quickly remembered that Kitazawa was following her to learn medical ninjutsu.

"Is Lady Tsunade home?"

Shibi Aburame returned to the main topic and asked.

"She is."

Kitazawa nodded and said: "Clan Leader Shibi, please come in."

"Thank Itachi."

Shibi Aburame walked into the living room.

He subconsciously glanced at the dining table, where six sets of bowls and chopsticks were placed.

"Shibi?"

Tsunade was a bit surprised and asked: "It's rare to see Itachi looking for me; is something the matter?"

Shibi Aburame showed a look of hesitation on his face upon hearing this.

Since it concerned Danzo Shimura, he felt the fewer people who knew, the better.

And here, besides Kitazawa, there were Shizune, Kurenai Yuhi, Rina Uzumaki, and Karin.

Kitazawa and Shizune were fine; they were already clearly Tsunade's people.

But he couldn't be sure about Kurenai Yuhi, Rina Uzumaki, and Karin.

"Lady Tsunade, Kurenai and I will leave first."

Kitazawa guessed what he was thinking at a glance.

He didn't say much more and pulled Kurenai Yuhi away.

Anyway, Shibi Aburame coming to find Tsunade was his suggestion in the first place.

"I'm going to practice sealing jutsu."

Kurenai Yuhi went upstairs after arriving home.

She had self-awareness.

Shibi Aburame was the leader of the Aburame clan; what he and Tsunade were discussing must be confidential to Konoha.

As a Chunin, she naturally had no right to ask, and her top priority was to improve her strength.

Kitazawa sat on the sofa and, after some thought, decided to try the Wind Style Rasengan.

There were no rivers or lakes near Kurenai Yuhi's home, so it wasn't convenient to practice Water Style.

He reached out his hand, and a large amount of chakra surged out, forming a rotating chakra sphere.

This was a normal Rasengan.

Kitazawa looked at this Rasengan and began to slowly input Wind Style chakra.

Its color changed immediately.

A sharp edge was revealed.

Kitazawa felt this Rasengan had become a pile of rotating blades.

A Rasengan like this would definitely be lethal if it hit a flesh-and-blood body.

The sound of the door opening rang out.

Tsunade walked in with an unpleasant expression.

She was stunned when she saw the Rasengan in Kitazawa's hand.

"A Rasengan with Wind Style added?"

A look of slight surprise appeared on Tsunade's face, and she asked subconsciously.

"Lady Tsunade, what do Itachi think of this Wind Style Rasengan?"

Kitazawa looked up at her and asked curiously.

"It has more lethality than the original Rasengan, but it requires the user to master an extremely high level of Wind Style chakra nature transformation."

Tsunade commented: "Only ninja who are good at Wind Style can learn it."

She had one more thing she didn't say: Wind Style ninja who could reach this level were mostly already Jonin.

By comparison, although the original Rasengan was A-rank, both Genin and Chunin had the potential to learn it.

"Let's not talk about this for now."

Tsunade remembered the main business and said: "Shibi just came to me, hoping I could rescue Torune Aburame from the Root."

"Why didn't Clan Leader Shibi go directly to the Hokage?"

Kitazawa asked, feigning confusion.

"He said he had already tried, but it had no effect."

Tsunade snorted coldly and said: "The old man is truly senile, actually letting Danzo Shimura snatch the geniuses of various ninja clans!"

In her view, this was undoubtedly something that would chill the hearts of all the ninja clans.

Kitazawa didn't say anything upon hearing this.

Hiruzen Sarutobi—calling him senile naturally didn't count.

He was mostly likely trying to use Danzo Shimura's hand to intimidate the various ninja clans.

After all, the reason Danzo Shimura was able to successfully snatch the geniuses of the various clans was his tacit approval.

This operation was very stupid, but if it were Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura, it was indeed possible.

"Did Lady Tsunade agree to him?"

Kitazawa's gaze fell on her exquisite face.

"Danzo Shimura's hands reach too far!"

Tsunade said unhappily: "He even sent people to contact Rina and Karin before!"

"There was such a thing?"

A look of surprise appeared on Kitazawa's face.

He really didn't know about this.

But given Danzo Shimura's personality, he could indeed do it.

But fortunately, Rina Uzumaki and Karin had Hiruzen Sarutobi and Tsunade as backers, so Danzo Shimura and his Root didn't dare to take them away by force.

"If he dares to snatch people, I naturally dare to as well."

Tsunade snorted coldly.

Kitazawa felt relieved upon hearing this.

"Let's go, come with me to see the old man."

Tsunade waved her hand and said.

After she finished speaking, she realized there was a problem, because this matter had nothing to do with Kitazawa.

But for some reason, she subconsciously called for Kitazawa.

"Understood."

Kitazawa naturally agreed.

He was counting on Torune Aburame to trigger a new mission for him.

Besides, causing a scene in the Root—what a pity it would be to miss that.

With a bang.

Tsunade kicked open the door to the Hokage's office.

"Itachi..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had only said one word before he noticed Tsunade's expression was wrong.

Who had provoked her again?

Could it be Danzo Shimura?

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought of many things in an instant.

"Old man, I'm asking Itachi something."

Tsunade had already regained her calm; she asked in a deep voice: "What is the procedure for the Root to recruit people?"

Kitazawa subconsciously glanced at her, thinking to himself that she was worthy of being the woman who would become the Fifth Hokage.

If she had gone directly to the Root to snatch people, Hiruzen Sarutobi would certainly have stopped her; starting from the Root's system was undoubtedly a very good entry point.

He hadn't even thought that Tsunade would be so calm and could think of such a good method.

"Why are Itachi suddenly asking about this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment and asked.

But in his heart, he had already determined that the person who provoked Tsunade must be Danzo Shimura.

Who did the Root snatch this time?

"I'm just curious."

Tsunade said calmly.

"According to the rules of Konoha, the Root needs to report to the Anbu first before recruiting; they can only recruit after the Anbu agrees."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said slowly.

"What if the Root has its eye on a certain ninja?"

Tsunade asked again.

"They should notify the ninja to go to the Root to participate in an assessment."

Hiruzen Sarutobi paused and added: "If the ninja is unwilling, they can refuse."

He wasn't lying.

Because Tsunade could find out this set of procedures with a single check; he couldn't hide it.

"Then I am reporting that the Root's recruitment process does not conform to the rules."

Tsunade said with an official air.

I knew it.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't feel surprised at all upon hearing this.

When Tsunade asked about the Root's recruitment process, he had already guessed the result.

But Danzo Shimura and his Root had indeed violated the rules.

Once rules are set, they must be followed.

It was fine if it wasn't brought to the scale, but once it was, the Hokage was no exception.

"Tell me."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression became serious.

"The Root contacted Rina and Karin last week, but they were already rejected by them."

Tsunade snorted coldly.

"I will warn him about this matter and tell him not to harass Rina and Karin again."

Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly understood.

No wonder Tsunade was so angry; it turned out it involved Rina Uzumaki and Karin.

"But looking at this matter alone, the Root did not violate the rules."

Hiruzen Sarutobi thought for a moment and said again.
