Chapter 1039: , the source of unease

After all, it concerned the mission, and there could be no sloppiness.

Hatake Sakumo knew deeply that perhaps just one detail not grasped in place could cause the mission to be completely lost.

Therefore, no matter what, Sakumo had to figure out what kind of trickery was in this.

"'Hai' is Lord Danzo's test subject; he has 'that' on him."

"What 'that' is, we don't know either."

"'That' must absolutely not be lost."

Under Sakumo's questioning, the Root ninja explained.

"Test subject..."

His explanation not only did not solve the doubt in Sakumo's heart, but instead added a trace of heaviness to his heart.

The experience of a legendary ninja allowed Sakumo to keenly grasp the key to the matter.

Although the Root ninja before him only used a few words, Hatake Sakumo still keenly glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of the matter through this part of the content.

Whether it was a ninja or a "tool."

One thing that could not be denied in this was that "Hai" was a person, and also a companion of his own village!

And for a person to be called a "test subject," this was enough to show that the "Root" organization was actually using companions to conduct human experiments behind the scenes!

"Crack!"

Hatake Sakumo, who understood this point, bit his molars tightly and could not help but clench his fists.

The development of the matter had exceeded Hatake Sakumo's imagination.

"What exactly is it?"

"To be important to this extent..."

Hatake Sakumo, whose heart was filled with heaviness, could not help but ask himself in his heart.

At the same time, Hatake Sakumo also had doubts about the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, who issued this mission, for the first time in his heart.

The darkness of the "Root" naturally went without saying; human experiments were also probably conducted under the leadership of Shimura Danzo.

Only, as the issuer of the mission and the supreme leader of Konoha Ninja Village, did the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen know about the existence of the "test subject"?

Were the human experiments in the "Root" organization just Shimura Danzo's personal behavior, and now that the matter was exposed, the Third Hokage was only just realizing it and appointing Hatake Sakumo to come and put out the fire?

From a personal emotional perspective, Hatake Sakumo found it hard to believe that the kind Third Hokage would actually acquiesce to the existence of things like human experiments.

But as an experienced ninja, Hatake Sakumo's rationality told him.

As the Hokage of Konoha and the true protective umbrella behind Shimura Danzo, it was unlikely that Sarutobi Hiruzen did not know about this matter. ===== CHAPTER 1041 =====
