Chapter 378

Black Zetsu pretended to be extremely excited, as if he was about to bow down immediately, acknowledge "Shimura Danzo" as his boss, and head to the Root organization to start his 996 life.

Without a doubt, this was all acted out by Black Zetsu.

At this moment, Black Zetsu only wanted to deceive Danzo, seize Xuanwozhang Sect back, and then immediately turn around and run away.

Seeing that Danzo actually had the intention to "recruit" him, Black Zetsu went along with the flow and used the plan to his advantage.

The reason Black Zetsu started the performance mode was because he knew Shimura Danzo's identity very well, and the reason he wanted to retreat was because of his wariness of Danzo.

Shimura Danzo, a disciple of the Second Hokage, is extremely skilled in Wind Release and is himself a ninja with extremely impressive strength.

The two people who kidnapped Xuanwozhang Sect earlier already had the possibility of defeating Black Zetsu.

After all, although Black Zetsu has the strength of an average Kage, his skill points were not all put into combat; if they really fought, it is indeed unknown who would win.

The most crucial thing is that because of Ryosuke's previous dirty work, Uchiha Madara died prematurely.

Without Madara's backing, Black Zetsu's actions now must be low-key, low-key, and low-key.

Danzo, as the leader of Konoha's Root organization, has a very sensitive identity.

Black Zetsu's own identity is already not something that can see the light; if his identity is exposed, then the plans of Black Zetsu and Uchiha Madara will be completely lost.

In fact, before this, Black Zetsu generally tried to avoid Konoha ninjas; who knew he would be so unlucky today to happen to run into Shimura Danzo who was out "hunting."

Black Zetsu was not without suspicion regarding the sudden appearance of Shimura Danzo and the Konoha ninjas.

But at this point in time, everything has a reasonable explanation.

First, the Land of Rain and Konoha are currently in a state of war; as the leader of Konoha's Root organization, it is not impossible for Shimura Danzo to come to the Land of Rain to perform some kind of mission.

Plus, the distance between the Land of Rain and the Land of Fire is very close, so it is reasonable for Shimura Danzo to come in person.

And regarding Danzo's character and the code of conduct of the Root organization, Black Zetsu, who specializes in intelligence, has a certain understanding.

With Danzo's viciousness, kidnapping and researching some teenagers with outstanding talent is a common thing.

Xuanwozhang Sect, as a member of the Uzumaki clan, has great research value in his bloodline, and the Uzumaki clan has iconic red hair, which can be easily recognized by others.

Thus, everything already has a reasonable explanation.

Shimura Danzo, who came to the Land of Rain, coincidentally discovered a member of the Uzumaki clan living outside—Xuanwozhang Sect, and so Danzo's heart was moved by greed.

One must know that at this time, the Uzushiogakure of the Land of Whirlpools, where the Uzumaki clan gathered, had a marriage relationship with the First Hokage and was an ally of Konoha.

Such a relationship made Danzo unable to obtain the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, so when he accidentally encountered a "wild" Uzumaki clansman, Danzo naturally took the dirty path.

Plus, the Expansion Technique displayed by the burly ninja earlier is also a technique unique to Konoha ninja clans; such evidence also shows that the two are ninjas from Konoha.

Various pieces of evidence all indicate that the kidnapping of Xuanwozhang Sect was just because of Danzo's temporary whim.

And not because he knew the secret on Xuanwozhang Sect.

Although there are still some doubts, this is indeed the most likely and reasonable explanation at the moment.

"So sensible," "Shimura Danzo" was slightly stunned, and then revealed a happy expression.

"Hahahaha!!!!"

"Good, good, good!!!"

"Shimura Danzo" said three "good" words in a row, as if he felt gratified that the Root organization was about to welcome a new "general."

"My lord, since that is the case, can you return my 'brother' to me?"

Black Zetsu said respectfully to the "Shimura Danzo" in front of him.

"Of course."

Regarding this, this Darkness of the Ninja World agreed very readily.

Shimura Danzo seemed to have absolute confidence in himself, believing that this "Senju descendant" could not escape under his nose at all.

So he agreed to Black Zetsu's request very simply.

At this moment, he did not hesitate and directly threw the Xuanwozhang Sect he was carrying on his shoulder toward Black Zetsu.

Seeing this, Black Zetsu's eyes were full of joy; he didn't expect that he would deceive Shimura Danzo so easily.

Black Zetsu caught Xuanwozhang Sect's body, then probed Xuanwozhang Sect's body, and seeing that the pair of Rinnegan in Xuanwozhang Sect's eye sockets were still intact, Black Zetsu's heart finally returned to his stomach.
