Chapter 49 Danzo's Temptation
Chapter 49 Danzo's Temptation
Kakashi's expression was hostile, and his chakra became active.
The Anbu are directly under the Hokage. Their movements during a secret mission were discovered by Root ninjas. This is not just a simple overstepping of boundaries, but a blatant defiance of the Hokage's will.
What exactly does Gen want to do?
"Lord Kakashi, don't be nervous."
The middle-aged man's face was expressionless, his tone carrying an unquestionable certainty:
"I only learned of your whereabouts by chance while reporting information about Lady Tsunade."
As he spoke, he pulled a scroll from his pocket and handed it to Kakashi.
"This contains Lady Tsunade's detailed whereabouts."
Kakashi checked the scroll and, after confirming that the markings were correct and there were no traps, slowly unrolled it.
Not only is the exact route Tsunade took from leaving Tanabata Street marked on it, but there are also several clear photos.

Tsunade, with her blonde hair, and Shizune walked side by side into a quaint hot spring inn.
Hotel Name:
Yuquan Pavilion
"Lady Tsunade is in the hot spring village of the Land of Hot Springs."
The land of hot springs, known as "the land that forgets war," is small in size but famous for its many natural hot springs.
Hot spring town is the most famous landmark city in the land of hot springs.
Such places naturally have no shortage of casinos.
Kakashi quickly scanned the information on the scroll, and his wariness eased somewhat.
The information on the scroll was detailed and accurate, and the Root organization's ninjas' account was without fault.
"Kazuhiko, let's go to the Land of Hot Springs."
Kakashi turned to look at Kazuhiko behind him, and was about to take a step when the middle-aged man called him back again.
"etc."
The man squinted at Kazuhiko:
"Before that, Lord Danzo had something to tell me to deliver to Uchiha Kazuhiko. Of course, this has nothing to do with your mission to find Lady Tsunade."
Kakashi's eyes turned wary again, and his expression became unfriendly.
Although Root is nominally under the Hokage, it is actually secretly controlled by Danzo and has long been an unsupervised force by the Anbu, making it extremely mysterious.
"Uchiha Kazuhiko, is it? Lord Danzo has discovered your talent. With your abilities, staying in the Uchiha clan would be a waste of your potential. Joining the Genzo organization will allow you to fully showcase your talents. What do you think?"
Kazuhiko sneered inwardly.
The so-called "chance encounter" is clearly just an excuse.
From the moment he helped Shota awaken his three-tomoe Sharingan, Danzo had already set his sights on him.
The real purpose of him was to openly and legitimately contact Tsunade, not to pass on information about her.
"I have no interest in joining Root."
Without a second thought, Kazuhiko resolutely refused.
What good intentions could Danzo have had in allowing an Uchiha to join Root?
Even a fool could guess what the other party was up to.
They are simply coveting the secret of unlocking the three-tomoe Sharingan, hoping to use it to try to further develop the Sharingan.
Even if he fails, he can still be provided with a continuous supply of Sharingan consumables.
"No need to rush to refuse."
The middle-aged man took out another scroll and handed it to Kazuhiko.
"Why don't you take a look at this first, and then make a decision? This is a 'gift' that Lord Danzo specially brought for you."
Kazuhiko glanced at Kakashi, then took the scroll from him and unrolled it to examine it.
The scroll contained data on human experiments involving the Uchiha Sharingan!
It contains detailed records of physiological data such as the subjects' chakra fluctuations, emotional changes, and eye tissue reactions.
Materials involving human experimentation have long been considered forbidden research material.
Human research is strictly prohibited in Konoha.
Kakashi's pupils suddenly contracted. How could Danzo dare to conduct such horrific human experiments?!
Isn't he afraid of being questioned by the Uchiha clan or punished by the Hokage?
Kazuhiko was equally puzzled: how could Danzo so easily hand over such leverage to an Uchiha?
Moreover, this operation was carried out under the nose of an ANBU captain who possessed the Sharingan.
Are those who are truly favored really so fearless?
The two were instantly relieved when they saw the signature on the document.
Tobirama Senju.
Kakashi secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out to be the Second Hokage's research data.
I thought the Root organization was conducting human experiments on the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan.
Kazuhiko stared at the bloody experimental data, utterly speechless.
As expected of the inherently evil Senju old devil, he doesn't treat us Uchiha people like human beings at all.
Don't we Uchiha's lives matter?
Openly conducting human experiments and engaging in rampant racial discrimination—Konoha's laws are truly dark.
I felt cold and shivering.
When will we Uchiha be able to stand up again?
"How is it?"
The man saw that Kazuhiko looked serious as he looked at the scroll and assumed that he was already interested.
"These are precious records left behind by the Second Hokage, which are impossible for outsiders to access. Joining Root will grant you access to even more in-depth and detailed experimental data, which should be very helpful for your psychological and medical research."
"Of course, our Root organization does not conduct human experiments or research forbidden techniques. These are all precious legacies of the Second Hokage, so you can rest assured about their origin."
If you don't conduct human experiments or research forbidden techniques, how did Danzo acquire Hashirama cells and the Sharingan?
His name is Nicholas Senju Uchiha Zhao Si Shimura Danzo, right?
Thousand-Handed Old Ghost, I never thought you'd be taking the blame for Guo Ying one day.
If the ninja world didn't have Danzo and Root, it would be so much more peaceful.
Kazuhiko looked at the Root ninja with a blank expression:
"so?"
The man paused, then threw out his final bait:
"So, join Root. This is where you can truly shine. Lord Danzo will fully support your research—whether it's secret documents, funding, an independent laboratory, top-of-the-line equipment, or even the 'experimental materials' you need, he can provide them all."
Kazuhiko simply threw the scroll to the other person.
"I refuse. What you're saying doesn't appeal to me at all."
The classified information was of no use to him.
In the entire Naruto world, no one understands the Sharingan better than him.
Even the Thousand-Handed Old Demon can't do it.
Kazuhiko ignored the other person and looked at Kakashi:
"Let's go."
"Wait, take a look at this."
The other party then sent out two more photos: one of Kazuhiko kissing Kurenai goodbye, and another of his application for the position of outpatient assistant.
Kazuhiko was completely baffled. What was the meaning of showing me these two photos?
Are you threatening me with Kurenai Yuhi's assistant application?
Is it any of Konoha's business what the Uchiha do internally?
"What does it mean?"
"You transferred her to work by your side because you love her very much, right? Join Root, and Lord Danzo will help you remove all obstacles to getting this woman. She has many suitors, and they are all stronger and have better backgrounds than you."
This should be considered a honey trap, right?
But is this how you use a honey trap?
You're trying to tempt me with something I have—is that something a human could come up with?
What? If I don't agree to join Root, do you think Danzo will help Sarutobi Asuma catch up with Kurenai Yuhi?
Kazuhiko was utterly speechless and turned to leave.
Indeed, the world is a giant makeshift operation.
Is this a test for cadres?
Which cadre cannot withstand such a test?
The man was completely unprepared for this situation and could only watch helplessly as the two walked away.
