If Danzo knew what the Grass Shinobi leader was thinking, he would have laughed cruelly.
Being a dog for Konoha?
Wrong!
He's a dog for me, Danzo!
Does he really think Danzo is some kind of philanthropist?
He worked hard for these resources, is he going to give them to the Third Hokage for free?
Don't even think about it!
Only when Danzo becomes the Fourth Hokage!
The integration work here proceeded in an orderly manner.
Root shinobi would select children of suitable age with talent from the Grass Shinobi Village and bring them back to Konoha.
As for the adults, they would be branded with the Tongue Curse Seal, brought back to Root for proper training, and then used as death soldiers.
The main idea is to make full use of people, never waste any!
On the other hand.
The Grass Shinobi leader's confidants hurried to find Uzumaki Rina who was huddled in a corner, shivering, her head buried in her arms.
Uzumaki Rina was Uzumaki Karin's mother, about the same age as Uzumaki Kushina.
As a member of the Uzumaki clan, she also had a head of fiery red hair.
The girl had fair skin and delicate features.
Perhaps due to malnutrition, she was smaller than Uzumaki Kushina, with loose-fitting clothes.
Her little face was also dirty, looking like a stray cat.
Cute and pitiful.
Because of her unusual hair color, the Grass Shinobi leader's confidants quickly discovered Uzumaki Rina.
They originally wanted to bind her directly, but they were afraid of angering Danzo.
So, they could only lower their voices and speak as gently as possible: "Are you Uzumaki Rina? Come with us, there's a big shot who wants to see you!"
"What...............big shot?"
Uzumaki Rina was frightened by the noise outside, her eyes filled with tears, she tightly hugged her head and couldn't hear what they were saying.
She had already experienced the destruction of Uzushiogakure, and finally escaped to the Grass Shinobi Village, thinking she could finally live a peaceful life.
But unexpectedly, the fate of Uzushiogakure had befallen her again.
This caused the poor girl to feel endless fear.
She even thought she was going to die!
But she didn't expect that the direction of things seemed to be............
Different from what she thought?
"A big shot from Konoha! You know Danzo, the advisor? He specially came from Konoha to bring you to Konoha to live!"
"Bring me to Konoha to live?"
Her terrified eyes slowly softened, then turned into joy.
Of course Uzumaki Rina had heard of Konoha!
It was an ally of Uzushiogakure!
The former head of the Uzumaki clan, Uzumaki Mito, was the wife of the First Hokage of Konoha, Senju Hashirama!
From the perspective of the Uzumaki clan, isn't Konoha simply their in-laws?
Although this in-law is a bit incompetent.
Konoha didn't come to help when Uzushiogakure was destroyed.
Although Uzumaki Rina didn't quite understand why Konoha didn't help Uzushiogakure.
But it didn't matter!
The important thing is that people from Konoha came to pick her up!
"I'll go!"
Uzumaki Rina didn't know where she got the strength, she stood up immediately, her face filled with a desire to survive.
It's Konoha!
The richest and strongest village in the shinobi world!
If she could live there, she wouldn't have to worry about going back to a life of wandering?
Uzumaki Rina already had nothing, so naturally, she didn't have anything to pack.
She simply washed her face with clean water, then followed several Grass Shinobi to meet Danzo.
To be honest.
Seeing Danzo for the first time, Uzumaki Rina couldn't help but feel a little scared.
This old geezer's appearance was just too bad.
In order to conceal the Sharingan in his right eye socket, Danzo wrapped half of his head in bandages.
Plus, he had done too many bad things, so he always gave people a feeling of being insidious and cunning.
In short, he just didn't look like a good person!
Uzumaki Rina, a little girl, saw Danzo for the first time, and didn't cry out in fear, which was already considered pretty good.
Of course, Danzo also knew his weakness, in terms of affinity, the Third Hokage was three streets ahead of him!
So, he immediately put away the aura that a powerful shinobi would have.
He knelt down like a gentle old man, greeted the timid Uzumaki Rina: "My name is Danzo, from now on, Rina, you will follow me, I will protect you from any harm."
"Come here, I'll take you back to Konoha!"
What if you don't have affinity?
It's simple, just give benefits!
Danzo, actually, isn't stupid.
He knows that if he wants to improve his status in Naruto's heart, he must have a miko to speak good words for him!
Actually, Danzo is already regretting sacrificing Yakushi Kabuto, doesn't he know what he did before?
Danzo would burn incense if Yakushi Kabuto didn't speak ill of him in front of Naruto!
Expect him to say good things about him?
That's as likely as the Third Hokage willingly abdicating!
As for Uzumaki Kushina?
Forget it!
She only recognizes the Third Hokage, why would she recognize Danzo?
Therefore, Danzo believes that he must cultivate a miko who is kind to him!
That way, even if he does something wrong in the future, at least someone will speak for him, right?
And Uzumaki Rina is the perfect candidate.
She has no family, and before becoming a miko, she can only rely on Danzo's protection and care.
And she is not very old, only twelve years old.
This is the time when she longs for love!
Danzo's requirements are not high, as long as he can make Uzumaki Rina willingly call him "Grandpa Danzo", if anything happens in the future, just ask her to say a few good words for him in front of Naruto!
Thinking this, Danzo's gaze became even softer, he really treated Uzumaki Rina as his granddaughter.
He took out candy that he had prepared a long time ago from his pocket, placed it in the girl's soft hand, and smiled: "Don't be afraid Rina, I won't hurt you. So, are you willing to leave with me?"
Looking at the old man's eyes full of kindness, Uzumaki Rina hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Rina is willing to leave with you."
"Good!"
Danzo showed a smile, happy as a 300-jin child. He called over a female Anbu ninja and asked her to carry the weak Uzumaki Rina back to Konoha first.
After the female ninja went away, Danzo's expression instantly made a 180-degree turn.
Just now, he was gentle to Uzumaki Rina, but now he was as cruel as he could be!
The reason is simple.
When Danzo gave the candy, he found several bruises on the girl's soft arms!
Don't tell him this is a result of Uzumaki Rina falling!
"Hehe, even the future miko dares to be touched, what's the point of a village like this?"
"After you select them, kill all the rest."
"They should pay the price for their mistakes!"
At night.
The Grass Shinobi Village was engulfed in towering flames, and from time to time one could hear pleas for mercy, screams, and the subtle sounds of knives cutting through skin.
Thus, the Grass Shinobi Village was destroyed!
The news spread, and the shinobi world was shocked!
Everyone condemned Danzo's despicable behavior.
The war between the major countries, which was already fraught with friction, seemed to be brewing again.
