“Woo…”

His own existence was denied, and Gaara covered his aching head, waving his hand and sending a crazy wave of sand at Duke.

Seeing the bloodthirsty look in Gaara's eyes, Duke frowned, instantly broke through the sand walls, and struck Gaara on the back of the neck with a knife.

"Sand Ninja, you're too nervous, just get some sleep!"

After being hit hard on the back of his neck, Gaara thought to himself before closing his eyes that if he fell asleep, Shukaku would take the opportunity to go berserk, which was not in line with the plan.

With a thud, Gaara fell to the ground and fell into a coma. However, what he was worried about did not happen. The raccoon cat squatted in a small corner very honestly, without making a single fart.

"Uncle Duke, you're so awesome!" Naruto's eyes were full of stars.

In a dense forest somewhere outside of Konoha Village, far away from the noisy conference venue, this dense forest is unusually quiet, the atmosphere is somewhat lonely, and even the air reveals a hint of chill.

Shikamaru shuddered when he heard that, put his hands behind his back, and moved two steps to the side without leaving a trace. Naruto was silent for three seconds, then suddenly roared: "You...you...you...I...I...I...Who would do this?"

…

"If you two have nothing to do, just put him in the next ward and let him get some sleep to clear his mind!"

Asuma listened to the mindless conversation between the two people and shook his head speechlessly. Kakashi was probably the only nemesis of Gai. "Hey, Duke! You are so honest today?" Asuma looked at Duke in confusion. Normally, this sharp-tongued man would have been desperately mocking Gai, but why did he change his nature today?

Seeing Naruto helping Gaara up, Duke was still unsatisfied with his excitement, so he quickly reminded him, "Naruto, don't take advantage of others."

"Hey, hey, this is too strong..." Shikamaru's eyes twitched. He knew much more than Naruto.

"Really? I felt like you were acting weird today..." Asuma still looked puzzled.

"He is the son of the Fourth Kazekage. If you rape him, it will cause a diplomatic dispute." Duke added in his mind that even if you are the son of the Fourth Hokage, you cannot do that.

"ha?"

"Elder Shimura, why are you here?" Duke said in surprise, "Sorry, I happened to pass by here and saw a pit, so I thought about filling it up, but I didn't expect you to be here too!"

Kai:Σ(°△°|||)︴

Honestly speaking, the situation is worse than I had imagined. The bones in my left hand and left foot are shattered, the nerves are messed up, the bone fragments have penetrated deep into the central nervous system, and the chakra cannot flow normally along the meridians.

However, such a large organization cannot be disbanded just like that. Danzo Shimura used the excuse that the re-employment issue of the Root ninjas had not been properly resolved and believed that he could not resign until the matter was resolved.

"Mitawash Duke, what are you doing?" Protected by his trusted aides, Danzo Shimura became furious when he saw Duke.

Don't ask Duke why he knows the address of the Root. This is information given by a Hokage who does not want to reveal his name. Because it is a secret order, Duke cannot reveal his name. He can only say that he is not the first generation, second generation, fourth generation, fifth generation, sixth generation, etc.

In the front row of the audience, Duke, Kakashi, Asuma, and Gai looked at the candidates below. Their subordinates had all made it to this round, and they almost embarrassed themselves.

The Root is an independent organization under the leadership of Shimura Danzo, the elder of Konoha. It is not directly controlled by the Hokage, nor is it part of the Anbu system. Its uniform is a white or black cape. Although it is hidden in the dark, they are active behind every major event in Konoha. After the Uchiha clan genocide, Sarutobi Hiruzen ordered the removal of Danzo from his position as the Hokage Assistant, and the Root was disbanded.

This is the address of Konoha's "root". By unlocking the hidden barrier and opening the mechanism, you can enter the underground nest where the root is located.

At the exam venue, audiences entered one after another. The concert venue, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, was full in a short while. On the podium in the center, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and the Fourth Kazekage both took their seats, waiting for the competition to begin.

Kai smiled: "But even so, the next step will not be so smooth, because every step of the finals depends on strength. Youth is sometimes bitter and sometimes harsh. Of course, this is also the charm of youth. Don't you think so, Kakashi?"

There is a powerful water-style ninja in the Sand Village. There is nothing strange about that. If you insist that it is impossible, then it must have been done by the Sound Ninja.

Duke was stunned when he heard this, then lowered his head and smiled, "I just passed by the odds. I bet on Naruto, Shino, Shikamaru, and Gaara to win in the first round. I'm trying to save my luck, so I won't say anything."

Shimura Danzo said that the way to be an official is to procrastinate. It is impossible to openly oppose the top leader, so just procrastinate. It doesn't matter if the situation is unfavorable. Take a chance to breathe first. As time goes by, changes that are beneficial to you will definitely happen.

"Kakashi, it's rare that you're on time. I thought you'd be late as usual." Kai gave Kakashi a thumbs up and said, "You're worthy of being my destined opponent. Two of your subordinates have made it to the main competition. Your team is lucky!"

"I'm just reminding you, I don't mean anything else." Duke curled his lips. Your dad is particularly fond of red-haired girls, who knows if you are the same.

On the day of the Chunin Exam, the streets of Konoha were busier than New Year's Day. A large number of spectators came in from outside the village to watch the game. With the addition of important figures such as daimyo, the whole village was bustling.

"No wonder Tsunade doesn't dare to guarantee it..." Duke pondered for a while. Pure medical ninjutsu is too risky. He needs to make some preparations to ensure that there will be no mistakes.

Kai tilted his head slightly, and his shining silver teeth were particularly dazzling in the sunlight.

The so-called politics is compromise and procrastination!

As large groups of quick-frozen Root ninjas fell, a team of elite ninjas protected Danzo Shimura as they broke out of the ground and climbed onto the ground in a very embarrassed manner.

After a day of playing with the Hokage, Duke suddenly felt refreshed and full of energy. He felt that he could even make Terumi and Mei dizzy, so he began to observe Xiao Li's injuries.

(*/ω＼*)Yes, that’s it!

Toads don’t grow hair—follow their roots!

For example, the Third Hokage died, the Third Hokage was dead, the Third Hokage knelt! With the cells of the First Hokage, Shimura Danzo firmly believed that he could outlast Sarutobi Hiruzen. Until one day, the wind was so sad, and Duke, with a festive face, came to the gate of the Root.

As for whether doing so would give him any evidence, Duke didn't care at all. Today was the "Konoha Collapse Plan", and there shouldn't be too many people who could take the blame.

With this body, let alone being a ninja, no one would take him in a 55-50 group. It's really pitiful. Even if he masturbates, I'm afraid he won't be able to find the same tight feeling that he couldn't stop at the beginning.

Two forehead protectors were thrown at the door, one for Sand Ninja and one for Sound Ninja. Duke nodded with satisfaction. The symmetry between the left and right was perfect.

According to the instruction manual, Duke first passed through the barrier, then opened the mechanism of the underground entrance, faced the dark hole in front of him, unbuttoned his pants... ahem, he used water escape to pour water into it.

Kakashi put down the '30-Year Guide to Becoming a Great Mage' and said in confusion, "Kai, are you talking to me?"

The Root, also known as the 'Anbu Training Department', is the most mysterious department in Konoha. They come and go without a trace, and no one knows their true identity. It is comparable to the... department in Duke's previous life.

Don’t ask why Duke knew where the secret passage was. It was the Hokage who did not want to reveal his name who told him. No one knows who he is.

—————————————————————————————————————————————— ————

Just like water pouring into an ant nest, the cave was quiet for a few minutes before the ground rumbled and caved in. In the bushes not far away, the soaked roots escaped from the secret passage, and then the long-awaited Ice Clone rushed over with a kind smile.

"Stop talking nonsense, this is the root!" Danzo almost vomited blood, his facial features were distorted with anger.

"That's a coincidence. I was just looking for the Root." Duke's tone gradually turned cold, and he said to Danzo: "Elder Shimura, I am here on the orders of the Third Hokage to take your life."

Danzo gritted his teeth: "This is impossible!"
