Chapter 360 Kabuto: Danzo, I've come to kill you.
On the road from the Land of Fire to the Land of Grass, the carriage moved steadily forward. Tall, dense forests flashed past the carriage window, where Danzo sat quietly with his eyes closed, resting.
Although in today's ninja world, there are convenient and fast modes of transportation like trains.
However, Danzo preferred the traditional mode of transportation, horse-drawn carriages, to trains that resembled metal cans.
Suddenly the carriage swayed for a moment, and it slowed down as a precaution.
"This is the third time. What's going on?"
Danzo asked, dissatisfied, towards the outside of the carriage.
"Lord Hokage, it's the same attack again. Our men have already given chase."
"The same attack again?"
Danzo wasn't stupid; these successive attacks already spoke volumes.
"Is this a ploy to lure the tiger away from the mountain? The target of the person behind this is me."
It should be noted that none of the people who went to hunt down the attackers in the previous two attempts have returned yet. This is clearly a diversionary tactic. If he can't see through this, he might as well give up being the Hokage.
It seems someone is targeting me.
Who could it be? Jiraiya and Tsunade?
No, that's not right. Putting aside the fact that Tsunade wasn't awake, Jiraiya wouldn't do something like that.
Who could it be?
"Ryoma, if there's a next time, all of you..."
After giving the instructions, the carriage did not linger and continued on its way.
Sure enough, not long after, another attack occurred.
Several kunai flew towards the carriage, indicating that they intended to kill Danzo with kunai.
"Om~!"
A buzzing sound rang out, and a large number of small black insects appeared, directly blocking the kunai's attack.
"Everyone, chase after him!"
At Aburame Ryoma's command, everyone except the Root members driving the carriage followed him out.
The carriage gradually slowed down and eventually came to a stop.
Wait until the people from the root organization have gone far away.
The person behind it all finally appeared.
Wearing a black robe with red cloud patterns, Yakushi Kabuto slowly walked towards the direction of the carriage.
It's like taking a walk, at a leisurely pace.
"Who goes there!"
The Root member in charge of driving the carriage jumped off, took out a kunai, and aimed it at Kabuto Yakushi, who was slowly walking towards them.
Normally, according to the code of conduct of the members, he would have rushed up and crippled the other party regardless of who they were.
However, they are no longer the Root organization they used to be; they are now directly under the Hokage's command, so they have to be a bit more discreet.
"Who am I? Hmm, that's a good question."
Kabuto was smiling, but his smile looked eerie no matter how you looked at it.
Yes, who am I?
When I killed the dean with my own hands, the dean must have asked me the same question.
However, after experiencing so much, he finally understood one thing: he realized who he was.
"I'm here to seek revenge on Danzo. Remember me, my name is Yakushi Kabuto!"
Yakushi Kabuto, receiving the medicine with both hands.
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"
A water dragon quickly took shape and then roared out.
"Don't even think about it! Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"
The Root ninjas unleashed Earth Release ninjutsu for defense, and a thick earthen wall rose up, protecting themselves and the carriage behind them.
However, just as the earthen wall was taking shape, a figure suddenly emerged from the earthen wall he had created.
"What?!"
"Get out of my way! You're not my target!"
He raised his hand, and a large white snake darted out from his sleeve, biting the man's throat.
The giant snake retracted its sleeve and, dragging the Root ninja whose throat it had bitten, flew towards Kabuto.
With a surge of chakra scalpel in his hand, he decapitated his opponent with a single blow.
After getting rid of the troublesome fellow, Kabuto walked step by step toward the carriage where Danzo was.
"Danzo! What? You're too scared to come out and face me? Or have you become afraid of death since becoming Hokage?"
There was no response from inside the carriage to Dou's questioning.
Just as Kabuto took a step forward, preparing to make his move.
"Boom!"
A sudden shockwave ripped through the carriage, instantly blasting the horses in front into a pile of minced meat.
Kabuto clapped his hands, and the Akatsuki robe on his body came to life, transforming into a large black and red snake that coiled around him.
The fierce attacks landed on the giant snake, but they couldn't even budge its scales.
"Is that all? It seems that someone like you is only fit to hide in dark ditches and plot schemes!"
The giant serpent slowly contracted, then lay on Yakushi Kabuto's body and transformed back into a long robe.
Danzo, standing atop the shattered carriage, stared coldly at Kabuto Yakushi.
"Yakushi Kabuto?"
"Yes, it's me."
Danzo raised his head and said disdainfully.
"I remember you, a spy who keeps switching sides. Ha, you think you're worthy of seeking revenge against me?"
"I am a pharmacist," said the doctor, adjusting his glasses.
"What, you think I can't kill you?"
"What makes you think you can kill me?"
Danzo snorted coldly.
"Hmph, you think you're so clever? You think you can distract my men by making a little noise? Don't be ridiculous. Your laughable scheme has already been seen through. Come out!"
Danzo beckoned, and a group of Root ninjas, led by Ryoma Aburame, rushed out of the forest.
From the very beginning, they never went far, in order to create a false impression and make the mastermind, Kabuto Yakushi, believe that his plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain had succeeded.
"Now do you realize the difference between us? You laughable little mouse."
Danzo looked at Yakushi Kabuto with a cold smile.
Although some of our people were indeed lured away by a trap, leaving only a dozen or so, it shouldn't be too difficult for a dozen or so elite members of the Root to deal with one of you.
Yakushi Kabuto breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Danzo, you've been the most ridiculous person all along."
"Hmph, still talking tough even when you're about to die, get him!"
At Danzo's command, all the Root ninjas rushed forward.
These elite ninjas from the Root were recruited by Danzo from various ninja clans, and they immediately displayed the signature skills of each clan.
Whether it's powerful or not is another matter, just seeing those diverse ninjutsu techniques is quite intimidating.
Dou grabbed a corner of Xiaopao, yanked it off, and shouted at the same time.
"Sage Mode, activated!"
Immediately, the Sage Mode was activated, and his entire body was covered with a layer of delicate scales. His pupils turned golden, from which prismatic patterns emerged, and his pair of dragon horns exuded majesty and domineering power.
With a burst of Sage Chakra, the soil beneath his feet instantly came to life, and four giant snakes, interwoven with soil and rock, rose from the ground, directly biting at the members of the Root organization.
The giant serpent blocked the elite ninjas of Root, while an even larger earth serpent emerged from the ground.
Kabuto stood atop the giant serpent's head, looking down at Danzo.
"Danzo, I will take your life."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kabuto manipulated the giant snake to pounce directly.
