What's the difference between roots and shadows in Naruto?
Foreword:
In the anime "Naruto", ninja has become a profession that is obviously different from samurai. Samurai are brave men who fight in the light, while ninjas mostly use terrain and various ninja skills to hide their sniper and assassination fighting methods. Therefore, compared with samurai, ninja is more mysterious and hidden. In Konoha Ninja Village, most ninjas generally fight face to face, but they are organized? In the dark part, its members are basically wearing masks, and it is difficult to tell who these people are. The dark part first appeared in the initial examination of forbearance, and a root tissue appeared in the middle of animation. So what's the difference between these two organizations?

Judging from the connection between the two, there are many similarities between the dark part and the root cause.
(1) Both of them are disciplinary forces inside Konoha, and in terms of surface organization, their roots belong to the dark system. Darkness? And then what? Root? They are all shady words, and the root also means buried in the ground. The secret service refers to the organization that carries out assassination tactics, and its root is the internal training troops of the secret service. From the organizational relationship, the root belongs to the secret department and is a subordinate department of the secret department. And the personnel between the two are overlapping. For example, Yamato turned from root to dark, and many dark ninjas were also undercover. Between the two, you have me and I have you. After all, you are a ninja in the village, and it is impossible to draw a clear line completely.
(2) They perform similar tasks, such as assassination, interrogation and protection. The root of the task is nominally the training department of the dark department, but its actual function is equivalent to rebuilding a dark department. The assassination, torture, interrogation, protection of important people and other tasks that dark ninjas often perform are basically carried out. Although the original purpose of establishing the dark department is to carry out assassination tasks, the assassination attribute of the root is even stronger than that of the dark department. Except for traveling in groups, most root ninjas basically appear as assassins, and the ninja skills of root ninjas are generally biased towards assassination, which is obviously different from the common ninja skills of most ninjas.
(3) Their shapes are very similar, almost identical. The appearance of the root ninja's costume is very similar to that of the dark ninja. Usually wear a black tights inside and a white halter top outside. The costume of the lower body is not much different from that of most other ninjas. Sometimes there is a windbreaker outside. The most typical feature is that both members must wear masks when performing tasks. Most of the masks of the Dark Ninja are created with animals as templates. The mask of Root Ninja has more image styles than that of Dark Ninja, and it is not limited to creating masks with animals as templates.

In terms of connotation, there are essential differences between roots and dark parts.
(1) The actual commanders of the root and dark parts are completely different. The Dark Department is a secret organization established in Senju Tobirama Konoha Ninja Village during Naruto period, which is independent of Konoha Ninja system in a broad sense. The purpose of setting a dark part between leaves is to make it easier and faster for Huo Ying to deal with some tasks with high confidentiality and even violation of morality and ethics, that is to say, the dark part is equivalent to performing some shady tasks. Once exposed, Konoha can completely deny it.
The supreme commander of the Dark Ninja is Huo Ying, but they are not loyal to a specific person. For example, when Sarutobi Hiruzen transferred Huo Ying's position to Namikaze Minato, the loyal goal of the Dark Ninja became Watergate, and the Japanese control on the dark side basically gradually disappeared. That is to say, although the dark part is an underground organization, its nature belongs to the public, and its highest purpose is to safeguard the interests of Konoha. The ninjas in the dark part are not loyal to anyone. They are all Konoha ninjas with the will of fire at heart.
Compared with the dark part, the establishment of roots is dominated by the group of one of the high-level leaves of Konoha. Although the root members once swore allegiance to Konoha, in fact they were only loyal to Tuanzang, and even Huo Ying had no right to command the root members. Moreover, Tuanzang also directed the root organization to assassinate three generations of Huo Ying Sarutobi Hiruzen, which further proved that the root organization is a civilian armed force of Konoha and an organizational concept above the ruling order of Konoha. In other words, if you are a dark ninja, no matter who receives such an order, you will not carry it out. This is the biggest difference between the dark part and the root.
(2) The members of the root are basically completely hidden. Although the Dark Ninja is a member of an underground organization, many members of the Dark Ninja are public. For example, Sen Nye, who first appeared, was immediately recognized by the dark ninja when facing the ghost shark organized by Xiao. Others are Yamato, and his reputation as a dark ninja is well-known in the ninja world.
Compared with these dark ninjas, root ninjas are basically unknown people. This is not to say that their strength and record are relatively poor, just because Genninja attaches great importance to the confidentiality of information, and most of the tasks they perform are absolutely not allowed to be leaked. If they succeed, they can only wait for death, so others' understanding of the root ninja is almost blank.
(3) Root is an organization that abandons human nature. The dark ninja takes the interest of konoha as the highest ideal. In many cases, he voluntarily gave his life for the safety of Konoha, while Genninja generally gave up his normal world outlook because of the practice of hiding in groups. They only know that Tuanzang's orders are obeyed and will not use their own thoughts to analyze whether the orders are correct or not.
Although ninjas are used to fighting, most of them are still flesh and blood, sentient beings and righteous humans, but the root ninja basically has no personal feelings. For example, Sai once said that he didn't feel anything. Although he can laugh, this kind of smile is just a fake smile, without any emotional factors. This is also because most root ninjas are orphans, trained in isolation, abandoned their thoughts and feelings, and controlled by mantras.
Feng's conclusion:
Although the dark part is called the dark part, the style of the dark part is aboveboard, because Huo Ying's personality of Konoha belongs to a relatively bright class as a whole. Compared with the dark side, Root is the complete executor of Tuanzang's personal will, and his cruel and despicable style runs through the whole organization, so in the end, this organization gradually withdrew from the stage of the ninja world with the death of Tuanzang.
