Naruto, starting with immortality, I'm going to buy up the ninja world!

Chapter 100 Fire Release Techniques Can't Kill People, Even Burning Corpses Is a Difficult Task

Sakumo ignored Tetsuya's words; instead, his gaze fell on the ninjas that Tetsuya had killed.

"These are! Root members of Konoha! Why would Root ninjas come to assassinate you!"

"Hey, what else could it be? It's all about money."

Tetsuya raised an eyebrow and looked at Sakumo Hatake with great interest.

"That's nothing. What I'm more curious about is that you actually know about roots."

"I know that, nominally, it is a training institution directly under the Hokage's Anbu organization, but in reality, it is the darkest root of Konoha, specializing in doing some shady things."

After my brother's death, the Root members approached me, hoping to recruit me, but the Hokage stopped them in time.

"And then what happened? Danzo wasn't someone who gave up easily."

"And then..."

Sakumo Hatake's eyes turned somewhat strange.

"Later, Danzo sent me to Sunagakure to cut off their supplies and disrupt their rear."

"Huh? Didn't you ask for it yourself?"

"Well, how should I put it, I would say it was my idea, but the circumstances at the time were a bit special."

Tetsuya and the coachman became interested and sat down on the ground.

"Explain in detail what makes it special, go into the background and the consequences."

At this moment, Tetsuya felt a little regretful, as all the fruits and vegetables inside the carriage had been destroyed in the explosion; otherwise, he could have been a true bystander in the spectacle.

Seeing that Tetsuya was so curious, Sakumo didn't hide anything and told him what had happened.

"At that time, I was taken to the Root base by the people of Root. Danzo began to describe my brother's death to me, and began to exaggerate hatred and darkness, saying that I was a person who carried hatred and darkness in the past, and that I should join Root and contribute to Konoha with my own darkness."

My brother's sacrifice was a huge blow to me at the time, and I was almost persuaded by him.

But at that moment, the Hokage appeared. He knew that I had been taken to Root and rushed over to stop Danzo from recruiting me into Root.

Later, Danzo and the Hokage went into a room, and I stood outside the door and heard them having a heated argument.

When they came out again, Danzo told me that since I couldn't join Root, I should go to the front lines to contribute to Konoha and kill the people who killed my brother.

He suggested that I go to the rear of Sunagakure, and at the time I was blinded by hatred, so I agreed immediately.

The Hokage tried to persuade me, but I was too deaf to listen to anything at the time.

"Wonderful!"

Tetsuya clapped his hands in approval, as this was indeed something Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi would do.

One played the good cop and the other the bad cop, leaving the audience completely bewildered.

In the end, after everything was done, people still had to remember Hiruzen Sarutobi's kindness.

"By the way, who is the current head of your Hatake family?"

"After my brother sacrificed himself, the position of head of the family fell to me. So what?"

Tetsuya nodded, then smiled.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious. If you had sacrificed yourself in the rear of Sunagakure, who would have managed your Hatake family's businesses? You know, Konoha is quite short of money. I donated a lot of money to get you as a bodyguard, so you have to protect me well."

"I!......"

Hatake Sakumo wasn't stupid either. Tetsuya had already said so much; there was no way he didn't know what Tetsuya was talking about.

"I'm afraid they didn't expect you to be so strong, or rather, they didn't expect Sunagakure to be so weak, that you actually came back alive."

You even became a great hero of Konoha because of this battle, that's really impressive.

"By the way, can you answer a question for me?"

"What's the problem?"

Have you ever considered taking the Hokage position?

"The Hokage position, of course, is mine..."

Suddenly, Hatake Sakumo stopped talking, lowered his head, and looked rather unwell.

"Alright, alright, stop thinking about it. Let's keep going."

Seeing Sakumo Hatake's reaction, Tetsuya knew he should stop there. Sometimes, it's best to leave room for him to process things on his own. If you speak too slowly, it won't be good.

"With the carriage gone, it will be inconvenient to travel from here on out. However, we are not far from the next town. Let's buy some horses there."

As he spoke, Tetsuya turned to look at the corpses of the Root ninjas he had gathered together.

"I am a kind-hearted person. After all, I was once a member of Konoha. Let me send you to your final rest."

Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!

"Earth Escape, Huangquan Marsh."

The corpses gathered together were burned to ashes by Tetsuya's fire, and the ashes were swallowed up and sunk underground by the Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld.

Leaves, roots.

Danzo was getting impatient. Three days had passed, and no one had returned yet. Had they failed?

Is that Sakumo Hatake really that good?

To find out what was going on, he even sent out another small team to investigate.

Finally, just as he was about to send out another squad, someone returned.

"Lord Danzo! Something terrible has happened! The men we sent to assassinate Chiba Tetsuya are all dead."

"What! They're all dead! How is this possible! They were all elite ninjas from our Root clan!"

"Lord Danzo, I am not lying. All the ninjas I sent out died. They were burned to ashes by fire-style techniques and sank into the ground."

His subordinates only brought back some of their remains.

As he spoke, the Root ninja took out a sealing scroll, unfolded it, and some incompletely burned remains appeared on the ground.

All I can say is that it's truly a fire-style technique from the Naruto world; not only can it not kill people, it can't even burn a corpse properly.

"Damn it! Is it possible to extract any useful information from these wreckages?"

"I'm sorry, Lord Danzo, but apart from confirming that these are indeed our Root ninjas, we can't get any other useful information. Their brains have been burned away by Fire Release techniques, so the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques are unusable."

"You've done things so cleanly, is there some secret you don't want us to discover?"

Danzo Shimura clenched his fists.

"Chiba Tetsuya, Hatake Sakumo, this isn't over yet! You just wait!"

Losing such an elite squad is nothing to his Root organization; they are just some ninjas who sacrificed themselves for Konoha. They can recruit more people for Konoha's sake later.

However, if Hiruzen Sarutobi found out about this, he would definitely have a huge argument with him.

But that's all. Considering their past relationship and the fact that the Hokage really needs a white glove, after the big argument, he will definitely allow me to add more manpower.

"Hmm, perhaps I should recruit more people this time."

Just as he was considering who to appoint for the Root expansion, a Root ninja strode in.

"Lord Danzo, there's a problem with Orochimaru's research."

"what?"
