Naruto: Betrayed From The Start

---

"Tenjū-sama, there's an A-level fluctuation in the northeast area, in the yellow-green forest. Please go check it out."

In the sky, riding on the ink bird, Sarutobi Tenjū and his wife were returning from the valley, expanding their search for Kenshi. Suddenly, Yamanaka Ichizō's voice echoed in Sarutobi Tenjū's mind.

Using the barrier center's massive barrier and the Chakra Sensing amplification device, Yamanaka Ichizō could communicate telepathically with ninjas marked with Chakra within the barrier's sensing range.

Hearing that an A-level jutsu Chakra fluctuation had occurred in the yellow-green forest, not too far from them, Sarutobi Tenjū's heart stirred.

"Is it Kenshi?"

Sarutobi Tenjū thought to himself, then raised his head and said, "Received," replying to Yamanaka Ichizō.

"Is there any information about Kenshi?" Sarutobi Ayase asked.

"The barrier center sent a message. There's an A-level fluctuation in the yellow-green forest. They want us to go check it out," Sarutobi Tenjū replied.

"Is it Kenshi?" Sarutobi Ayase asked.

"I don't know. Let's go check it out," Sarutobi Tenjū shook his head.

Sarutobi Ayase immediately controlled the ink bird to change direction, heading towards the yellow-green forest.

They had already confirmed that the Kenshi they were tracking was a shadow clone. The rest depended on Sika and Ryōma to confirm whether the Kenshi on their side was the real body.

If it wasn't... then it would be troublesome.

The couple thought to themselves.

Meanwhile.

Konoha.

Near the Root underground base, on one side of the Chakra Sensing barrier, Danzō, who had been rushing back since he sensed that the sealing jutsu on Kenshi's heart had been undone, finally arrived back in Konoha after two nights and a day.

Danzō formed hand seals and quickly passed through the Chakra Sensing barrier.

As the Third Hokage's old friend, Danzō naturally knew the password to pass through the Chakra Sensing barrier freely.

Danzō's return didn't cause any commotion in the Chakra Sensing barrier.

Soon.

Danzō, with a heavy heart, arrived at the entrance of the Root base.

"Whizz, whizz, whizz!"

Three ANBU ninjas suddenly appeared, surrounding Danzō. They thought it was an enemy, but when they saw Danzō and raised their heads, they immediately bowed respectfully, "Danzō-sama."

Seeing the three ANBU ninjas appear, but not the Root squad that was guarding, Danzō frowned, realizing that something was wrong with the Root base, and it was a big problem.

"Inside... Forget it."

Danzō started to speak but stopped himself. He shook his head, not bothering to ask, and quickly walked into the Root underground base.

Two ANBU ninjas followed Danzō inside.

The remaining one quickly left to report to the Third Hokage.

Entering the Root base, passing by the large hole that Kenshi had created, Danzō glanced at it. His face turned gloomy, and he quickly ran towards the Zero Laboratory.

Soon.

The Zero Laboratory was just ahead. Through the oil lamp still lit in the corridor, looking at the broken door of the laboratory and the three dark red bloodstains on the corridor, Danzō's pupils constricted. He took a step forward and glanced inside, his heart instantly clenching.

Pain!

Too much pain!

Danzō took an oil lamp from the side, walked into the Zero Laboratory with heavy steps.

All the equipment inside was destroyed. The ground was like a field that had been plowed, with shattered stones everywhere.

Danzō, holding the oil lamp, came to the original solution culture base where the First Hokage's Wood Release cells were cultivated.

The glass equipment was shattered all over the place, and the original solution culture base of the First Hokage's Wood Release cells was gone.

This was the original solution culture base of the First Hokage's Wood Release cells that he had painstakingly cultivated over the years!

You know, the First Hokage's Wood Release cells needed to absorb a lot of Chakra and nutrients to survive. Over these years, he had spent countless resources and Chakra to cultivate this little bit. Now, it was all gone.

"What the hell happened?"

Danzō's forehead veins bulged, and he turned to roar at the two ANBU ninjas who followed him.

The two ANBU ninjas lowered their heads, looking at each other. They wanted to ask Danzō what happened too.

After all, Kenshi had escaped from the Root base.

But Danzō treated the Root base as his own private property. It had layers and layers of barriers inside and out. Even though Kenshi had broken through a large hole, there were still many barrier traps in operation.

If someone entered without knowing the password, there was a high risk of death.

So, after Kenshi's escape, until now, the Root base had remained the same. The Third Hokage had come to see it and shook his head, leaving them to guard the entrance and the hole, waiting for Danzō to return and inform him.

It seemed that the Third Hokage had already determined that Danzō would return early.

As it turned out, the Third Hokage truly understood his good friend's methods and personality.

Danzō returned, and they were finally able to follow Danzō into the interior of the Root base for the first time.

So, when Danzō asked them what happened here, it was really difficult for them.

And even if they knew something, they couldn't tell Danzō.

Danzō's Root was part of the ANBU but independent of the ANBU.

Danzō wasn't their superior. They couldn't just tell Danzō anything.

At this moment, they could only remain silent in response.

Facing the silence of the ANBU ninjas, Danzō roared and then quieted down. He also knew that these ANBU ninjas wouldn't know the details.

"Hmm... What's that?"

At this time, Danzō saw with his peripheral vision that there seemed to be a large hole under the broken Chakra metal bed. Then, he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed. He instantly came to the hole and took a look.

Although the oil lamp light was dim and he couldn't see clearly.

But Danzō knew that the Devouring Sealing Orb buried underground was broken.

This meant that the entire base's nutrient solution circulation would collapse.

"Kenshi..."

"Ah!"

"No good!"

Danzō let out a roar, then his expression changed again, and he turned and ran out.

Arriving at the door of Laboratory One, Danzō was about to push the door open when he suddenly calmed down. He glanced at the two ANBU ninjas behind him and didn't open the door.

"Forget it, at this time, the Sharingan inside must have already broken."

Although he was unwilling, Danzō knew that without the Chakra provided by the Devouring Sealing Orb, the nutrient solution in all the laboratories in the base would run out of energy and lose its nutrients within a night.

It had been another day since then. The Sharingan in Laboratory One had already broken and was useless.

"Wait for Hiruzen."

Danzō turned around, leaning against the door, without saying anything. He had already opened a part of the Root base's barrier. Hiruzen could come here along the path he had taken.

The two ANBU ninjas glanced at the door of Laboratory One, understanding. They knew there were secrets they couldn't know.

They weren't curious, and they wouldn't say anything.

Some secrets required the price of life to know.

They didn't want to die young.

After waiting silently for two minutes.

A series of hurried footsteps echoed in the corridor, quickly reaching the corridor of Laboratory One.

In the dim light, the Third Hokage's face, filled with suppressed anger, appeared first.

"Hokage-sama." The two ANBU ninjas who had followed Danzō said.

The Third Hokage nodded, then glared fiercely at Danzō, and then told the two ANBU ninjas, "You two can go out now."

"Yes, Hokage-sama." The two immediately walked past the Third Hokage and left.

After the sound of their footsteps completely faded, the Third Hokage could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. But before he could say anything, Danzō spoke first.

"What happened? Hiruzen."

"Why is there a big hole in my Root base?"

"Why is my test subject gone?"

Danzō asked three questions in a row, his expression even angrier than the Third Hokage's. He was about to ask the Third Hokage how he was Hokage, allowing a test subject from the Root base to escape.

Seeing the Third Hokage's expression, Danzō knew that Kenshi had escaped from Konoha, so he was the first to attack.

But Danzō didn't know the intelligence about Kenshi's sealing jutsu. He had also briefly fought against Uzumaki Mito and not lost, making him even more dangerous.

He underestimated the Third Hokage's anger at Kenshi's escape.

"You..."

The Third Hokage instantly widened his eyes, burning with anger. He opened his mouth, but for a moment, he was speechless.

He was shocked by Danzō's shamelessness.

This guy abandoned his position as the commander on the front lines and came back on his own.

He didn't believe that Danzō didn't know the reason for his anger about Kenshi.

Now, he dared to attack him!

"Danzō..." The Third Hokage, whose heart was burning with anger, stared at Danzō with a devouring gaze.

"Uh..." Under this terrifying gaze, Danzō finally realized that he had truly touched Hiruzen's sensitive spot this time. He couldn't get away with it like before. He immediately lowered his head, acknowledging defeat, and stopped resisting Hiruzen's gaze.
