Therefore…the requests that Shouta Shikawa had made before this really needed to be carefully considered.
All sorts of thoughts flew through Tuan Zang's mind. As for the battle below the stage, it was no longer within his scope of attention.
In any case, his elite Genin troops were no match for Shue Shikawa. There was nothing to see.
Even if he killed all of them in a fit of rage, the team would not care too much.
Using forty-two Gennins to exchange for a Shadow Level expert, this business was worth it no matter how one looked at it.
Moreover, Shue did not kill him, which showed his sincerity. Tanzang was already thinking about what conditions he should raise in the negotiation.
On the battlefield, which was filled with unconscious ninjas, Hidekazu Nishikawa knocked out the last frozen chuunin and slowly released his speed by three times.
The gray light in his eyes quickly faded away, and the two shadow clones beside him also turned into smoke and disappeared.
Hidekazu looked at his watch and said," Three minutes was a little longer than he had expected.
Perhaps it was his first time going all out, so he was not used to this kind of fighting style.
Shouta stretched his neck and let out a crisp cracking sound. He raised his hand and grabbed the tattered Chuunin vest on his body. He tore it off and threw it to the side.
His chest muscles and biceps bulged slightly from the physical training he had undergone a while ago, and he was no longer as thin and weak as he was when he first transmigrated.
The wound caused by the air had already healed, leaving only traces of blood sticking to his strong body, adding to his ferocious aura.
With his bare chest, Shue raised his head and said to Tuan Zang,""I don't think I need this dress anymore, right?”
Tuan Zang came back to his senses and quickly jumped down from the tree trunk. He quickly walked to the front of Hidehide and patted his shoulder affectionately."Of course not. I'll prepare something better for you.”When he said this, Tanzang put away his sinister old face, which was rare, and revealed an amiable smile. No matter how he looked at it, it didn't feel right.
However, could this be considered a good start?
"You've already proven yourself, Shouta.”Tuan Zang stopped smiling and his expression turned serious.
"Next, let's find a clean place and sit down to talk.
As for your requests, I will seriously consider them.”
"I hope so." Hidekazu's expression turned serious.
As for the Genin who had been beaten unconscious, the two of them did not care.
The value of these so-called 'elite' Genin seemed to be limited to this.
The group trove was like a master and a tool to them. It didn't matter if they could survive or not.
In any case, those who woke up would naturally return. Those who died would just die.
Compared to their life and death, Tuan Zang was more concerned about the things behind their lives: It was the sincerity that Hidekazu had shown in this one-sided battle.
Through the death count of the Nein, Danzou wanted to see if Hideki was a person who strictly abided by his promises. This would determine the way he would get along with Hideki in the future.
A ninja without power was destined to be unable to control his own fate. This was especially evident in Genin.
Hidekazu was slightly moved by this. After all, he was considered " half " Genin now.
As for the next step, it would depend on the negotiations later.
This would determine the overall plan of Hidekazu for the next few years, or even decades.
……
In the huge underground space, man-made buildings that occupied a large area were built. Incandescent lamps could be seen everywhere, making the pitch-black underground area extremely bright.
On the path that extended in all directions, there was a layer of clean tiles. The Ninjas who came and went bowed when they saw Tanzo.
Beneath the tunnel was a bottomless pit. No one knew how many meters the construction workers had dug down.
It was hard to imagine that during the Second War of the Ninja Realm, the roots already had such a large base. The resources of the group trove were truly abundant.
Sho was wearing a black cloak. He clicked his tongue and asked Tuan Zang who was walking beside him,""How many more bases like this are there?”
"This is the headquarters. There's only one in the entire Ninja Realm.”Tuan Zang replied indifferently, his tone filled with arrogance,""It was all thanks to the first generation Naruto Thousand Hand Pillars that we were able to build such a huge base.”
Following that, Tuan Zang and Shue Shinkawa briefly introduced the history of this base. After the battle with Uchiha, the Thousand Hand Pillar knew that it did not have long to live.
He was worried that Mu Ye might encounter enemies as powerful as Ban in the future, so he used the little time left to dig out a secret base under Mu Ye.
Its main purpose was to use this place as a refuge for the Muye villagers in times of crisis.
After the second generation Naruto Thousand Hands Door learned of this matter, it carried out some modifications here, adding some construction facilities and placing the headquarters of the Dark Group here.
When it came to the third generation Fiery Shadow Ape Sun Behead, considering that the village had not suffered any unstoppable invasion for so many years, plus that the Dark Group's work was mostly concentrated on the surface, the Ape Sun Behead moved out of the Dark Group headquarters and left this secret base for the group to train new members of the Dark Group.
Then, Tuan Zang talked about the history of the roots.
Using the name of training the Dark Group, the group created a root and slowly absorbed the members of the Dark Group to expand the power of the root.
Flying Ape Sun Slash sensed that he was being poached and had once warned the group treasury about this.
However, he considered that the root of Tuan Zang was also working for Muye. Moreover, they had been friends for so many years, so he only knocked on Tuan Zang and did not order the root to disband.
Tuan Zang understood the meaning of Flying Yuan Sun Behead. The action of taking in the members of the Dark Group slowed down, as if he really intended to wholeheartedly train the Dark Group for Flying Yuan Sun Behead.
But in fact, his ambition to hide in the group did not die out for a moment. The Dark Group did not allow him to move, so he set his sights on the ninjas with potential in the village.
Those who could use power to force them to submit would be forcefully absorbed, those who had leverage would be threatened, and those who were ambitious would be lured with great benefits.
Tuan Zang used all sorts of methods. The influence of the roots also grew stronger and stronger. In order not to be suppressed by Flying Ape Sun Slash, Tuan Zang took the initiative to do the dirty and tiring work for him. When Flying Ape Sun Slash saw this, he also tacitly acknowledged the existence of the roots.
Yuan Fei and Sun Behead were Huoying and had to consider his own reputation. It was also inevitable to cherish his feathers. Therefore, exchanging interests with the group became very necessary. After all, politics was a kind of compromise.
Tanzang did not hide anything from Hidehide and openly told him some key points. Hidehide slowly understood the distribution of power among the upper echelons of Koba.
