Chapter 65: Danzo Shimura, cornered and desperate!
Hiruzen Sarutobi's decisive slash sent a shockwave through everyone's hearts!
While Shimura Danzo was indeed ruthless, it was unexpected that the Hokage would make such a decision...
Of course, everyone understood that otherwise, Danzo Shimura's sins would likely taint the entire Konoha leadership, haunting them and impossible to escape...
Akimichi Tsutomu and the others were speechless for a moment.
"...Alright, since the Hokage-sama has said so, then our Akimichi clan will also do our utmost to track down that bastard Danzo and seek justice for Senpai Tofu!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded and said, "Okay."
"I will also inform the entire ninja world, so that all villages and forces, including the other four great ninja villages, can jointly issue a warrant for the capture and assassination of Shimura Danzo!"
He spoke to such an extent that everyone was speechless, unable to direct their anger at him any further.
however……
Kakashi Hatake suddenly spoke up: "In that case, I will also lead my own ANBU squad to hunt down Danzo Shimura..."
"Hokage-sama, you won't stop me, will you?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fists, but his expression remained unchanged.
"certainly."
"This is precisely the duty of the secret service."
"Kakashi, I'm leaving this matter to you."
Kakashi Hatake remained noncommittal and did not even respond.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
His greatest hope right now is...
Danzo Shimura and Chiba Uchiha immediately went to war, and then...
Both sides will be severely injured and perish together!
……
The news that Shimura Danzo had defected to Konoha and become an S-rank rogue ninja immediately shocked the entire village of Konoha and even the entire ninja world.
In order to "hunt down" Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi also revealed information about him and the Root organization that only the Hokage possessed, naturally including those secret Root strongholds.
However, by the time Kakashi Hatake and the others arrived, the place was already deserted.
He had to reunite with Chiba and report the information he knew.
Kakashi Hatake has now become a loyal follower of Chiba.
"Danzo has disappeared; he's probably no longer in the village."
Finding him will not be an easy task.
Qianyu shook her head.
"No."
"He'll let me find it on his own."
Kakashi Hatake was a smart man; he understood immediately and his eyes lit up.
"Lord Chiyu, you mean..."
"Will he deliberately lure you into a fight so he can get revenge?"
"That's certainly very possible..."
Aoki and Yamakaze sneered.
"The captain completely ruined Shimura Danzo's reputation, turning him into a traitorous ninja hated by everyone, like a stray dog. He hates the captain to the bone, so of course he will never let it go."
"Indeed, even without the captain chasing him, he will probably leak information on his own initiative, leading the captain to fight him."
Kakashi Hatake remained silent for a moment.
"Lord Chiyu, if that's really the case, you must make thorough preparations."
"Shimura Danzo has always been hiding in the shadows. He would never have lured you into a decisive battle unless he was absolutely certain of success. Once he shows himself, he must have prepared a conspiracy and set a trap."
"and……"
"He doesn't know how many powerful ninjas have been resurrected using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. No matter how strong Lord Senba is, he probably can't fight against so many opponents..."
"Therefore, please allow me to go with Lady Chiyu at that time."
Qianyu understood what he meant; it wasn't just concern for her, but more importantly...
He also wanted to avenge his father with his own hands!
Kakashi Hatake's father, Sakumo Hatake, the White Fang of Konoha, also became a puppet in the hands of Danzo Shimura. Such a humiliation and deep-seated hatred were simply unbearable for him.
Aoki and Yamakaze exchanged a glance, both understanding his feelings.
Konoha White Fang...
That's a very famous figure in the entire ninja world...
But that's probably why Shimura Danzo set his sights on him...
Aoki also said worriedly, "Kakashi is right, Captain. Danzo himself has researched countless forbidden techniques, plus he resurrected so many dead powerful individuals using the Impure World Reincarnation technique. Not to mention, his Root organization still has many followers. With such a massive force, even if you are strong, Captain, you can't fight against it alone..."
Shanfeng immediately said, "Yes! Take us with you, Captain!"
Facing the intense gazes of the three, Qianyu firmly shook her head.
"no."
"Why, Captain!"
Qianyu said calmly, "Now that the clan leader is leading many clansmen in fighting against the Hidden Cloud Village, the police force must protect the entire clan. It would be unwise for them to rashly follow me to fight Danzo."
Aoki and Yamafu were speechless.
They also knew that Chiba was right.
With Chief Fugaku absent and the police force also gone, the Uchiha clan is essentially at the mercy of others.
"As for you, Kakashi..."
"Do you think Hiruzen Sarutobi would let you go after Danzo?"
Kakashi Hatake understood what he meant.
"I can speak in my personal capacity, but as for the Anbu, I understand that they are ultimately the Hokage's people..."
"However, I do have some loyal subordinates after all..."
"Most importantly..."
He smiled slightly: "Lord Qianyu, I am not your subordinate, and you cannot order me not to go."
Chiyu remained noncommittal.
Kakashi Hatake said, "Then it's settled, I will..."
"I'll settle this score with Danzo myself!"
……
at this time.
In the Land of Fire, in a secluded corner, in an underground secret hideout.
Danzo Shimura's face was more grim than ever before.
The oppressive atmosphere was like hell.
The dozen or so remaining members of the Root organization beside him held their breath, not daring to make a sound.
Beads of cold sweat rolled down his face.
The incident happened suddenly. While Chiba destroyed three Root strongholds in succession, Shimura Danzo was studying and practicing the forbidden technique he obtained from Orochimaru at another stronghold.
Before he could even react, he had instantly gone from a powerful figure in Konoha to a homeless dog, wandering the streets, hated by everyone!
Such a huge difference made Shimura Danzo furious!
"Uchiha Chiba, I swear I won't rest until I kill you!"
"besides……"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi!"
"For so many years, I've secretly done so many dirty things for you, and now, to save face, you're kicking me aside like a dog!"
"You two..."
"They all deserve to die!"
His trusted confidant, Terai, spoke cautiously.
"Lord Danzo, they all deserved to die, but our current strength..."
"Many members of Root were killed by Uchiha Chiba, and some were unable to escape. They've probably either fallen into the hands of the police or been controlled by the Hokage... I mean, Hiruzen Sarutobi..."
"Furthermore, Lord Ryoma Aburame was captured alive by Senba Uchiha, and Captain Kogami has also been killed by him..."
Danzo Shimura coldly replied, "What's there to be afraid of!"
"Don't forget, I am no longer the same person I used to be..."
In the eerie darkness, with the aid of the dim light, Shimura Danzo looked at his arm.
Right arm.
The arm appeared somewhat pale, incongruous with his body, yet it contained an unimaginable, terrifying vitality, and an inexplicably powerful aura emanated from it.
On that arm, Sharingan eyes were darting around, gazing into the darkness in all directions...
Terai glanced at it and felt a little nauseous, but dared not show it.
"That's what Lord Danzo got from Orochimaru..."
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly.
"good!"
"The cells of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage and God of Shinobi, combined with the power of Wood Release techniques, plus..."
"The power of five Sharingan eyes!"
