Chapter 25
Swish, swish, swish~
Just then, a large number of roots appeared around. Before Shimura Omon could react, the barrier class had already begun to set up the barrier on their own.
"You...you are members of the Root? What do you want to do by coming to our Shimura clan in the middle of the night? Also, what's the situation with this barrier?" Seeing a group of dark-skinned Root members, Shimura Otomo was shocked, but when he saw the Sandaime Hokage beside him, he mustered up the courage to question the Root members.
It seems that the big move of the Root tonight is for the Shimura clan? But I haven't heard that the Shimura clan has any big trouble? What does Danzo mean by this?
Wait, is it dark under the lamp? Is the mysterious Uchiha Madara hiding in the Shimura clan?
Tap tap~ tap tap~
"Hiruzen, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon. I thought you would not notice until I wiped out the Shimura clan. It's really troublesome."
Facing the Third Hokage in front of him, Danzo had no intention of stopping his plan for tonight. Even if he died on the spot tonight, he would complete the task assigned by the adults. After all, everything he did now was for Konoha!
"Destroy the Shimura clan? Danzo, what nonsense are you talking about? The Shimura clan is your clan, the backbone of Konoha. You made such a big scene tonight just to destroy your compatriots?"Danzo's state is exactly the same as Asuma's that night. Could it be that Danzo has been manipulated? Is the mastermind planning to replicate what happened to the Sarutobi clan that night in the Shimura clan?
No, I will never allow this to happen again, Danzo, I will never let you follow in Asuma's footsteps.
""No no no, Hiruzen, you misunderstood~" Humph, the Shimura clan is not worth such a big fight for me.
"Hmm? What do you mean? Did I hear it wrong? As expected, the elderly cannot stay up late, and they are hallucinating."Alas~ It's all because of Asma's influence. Now, whenever there is a slight movement around me, I always think of the night when Asma exterminated the clan.
"Not only the Shimura clan, but also the Utane clan, the Mitomon clan, and the remnants of your own Sarutobi clan are all on my slaughter list tonight."I should be able to barely resist Hiruzen and Koharu's strength, and it shouldn't be a problem for my subordinates to destroy the Shimura clan.
"What? Oh no, Danzo is being controlled by someone, we must strike first."If we let Danzo run away, it doesn't matter if the Shimura clan is annihilated or not, but the Sarutobi clan can't stand this anymore.
Psychic summoning technique - Sarutobi!
"Are you serious? We haven't done it for many years. Today is a good opportunity to test my years of experience in spiritual communication - Dream Tapir!"
As the smoke rose, two spiritual beasts of different shapes appeared in front of the two.
"Sarutobi, is he the opponent this time? Was it you who betrayed Konoha or was it Danzo who betrayed Konoha? You shouldn't have called me over for a normal sparring match, right?"Sarutobi obviously recognized Danzo on the other side. After all, the two had been teammates for many years, and Sarutobi had fought side by side with Danzo many times.
"Neither. Danzo may have been controlled by someone. Try not to hurt his life when you attack him later."The state of his old friend is exactly the same as that of Koharu and Asuma before. It seems that the mastermind behind the scenes is the same person. The only one who can do this is Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, and Uchiha Itachi... is it you?
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who has a Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō, has a preliminary understanding of this eye technique. Danzo's state is no different from Yamato's.
Since obtaining Kotoamatsukami Mangekyō and Wood Release Yamato from Danzo, Sarutobi Hiruzen has used the eye technique of Kotoamatsukami on Yamato in order to ensure Yamato's loyalty.
After all, Yamato was born under Danzo. With his old friend's root brainwashing technique, he really can't trust Yamato, but the powerful bloodline limit of Wood Release must be in his own hands. In this way, using Kotoamatsukami on Yamato is undoubtedly the best choice.
"Hahahaha, Hiruzen~ You are too arrogant. Do you mean you can hurt my life at will? It seems that after not taking action for many years, you really treat me as a rat in the gutter. Shuiyun, lead the Root to act according to the original plan."
"Wind Style - Vacuum Wave!"
Facing Sarutobi Hiruzen's invisible mockery, Danzo pouted his lips in anger and blew out a series of Wind Styles.
""Yes, Master Danzo! Everyone follow, don't let any of the Shimura clan members go." Without paying attention to the powerful Third Hokage in front of him, Shuiyun followed Danzo's instructions with a numb face and began to bloody massacre the Shimura clan.
"Earth escape~ Earth flow wall! Sarutobi, you stop the nightmare tapir first, and Koharu will cooperate with the Shimura clan to stop the Root's slaughter."While quickly responding to Danzo's attack, Sarutobi Hiruzen also took the time to command his teammates around him.
"Hiruzen, be careful. Danzo has been secretly planning a lot of things over the years. His current strength may not be inferior to you and me."Faced with Sarutobi Hiruzen's arrangement, Utatane Koharu reminded without any self-awareness.
"Well, I know that I have made some progress over the years. Danzo... is not a concern."According to my understanding of my old friend, no matter how strong he is, he is at most on par with me. The only thing that worries me now is the manipulator who secretly controls Danzo.
Uchiha Itachi is so well hidden that even an old man who has seen countless people is fooled by his superficial tricks. As expected, Shisui is just a minority of mutants. I shouldn't expect the Uchiha clan, who are born evil, to have a guy with the will of fire.
"Not a big deal? Hehe~ Hiruzen, you will pay the price for your contempt, Wood Release~ Tree Explosion Burial!"
With the���A large number of tree roots attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen with great force.
"Hmm? Has the research on Wood Release become so mature? It seems that Yamato's appearance is not just luck."It seems that in addition to Kotoamatsukami and Yamato, Danzo has hidden a lot of good things!
After this incident, it is necessary for me to transplant Wood Release. As I grow older, my body functions are not as good as before. If I want to maintain my previous majesty, it is not enough to rely on means alone.
"Ninjutsu ~Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"
A series of huge shurikens were thrown out from Sarutobi Hiruzen's hands, and the wood escape techniques were shattered wherever they passed. Some of the shurikens penetrated the wood escape techniques and shot towards Danzo with the remaining force.
"Humph, Hiruzen, we were taught by the same teacher, you don't think I'm not prepared for your tricks, do you?"
Humph, the shuriken shadow clone was just to draw out his next defensive move, so as to buy time for his next five escapes and great combos.
