Kapitel 85: Chapter 85
"Uchiha Kaito, I really didn't expect you to have such eyes."
Danzo's heart was filled with greed, but at this time, he remained relatively restrained, for he was still waiting for his personnel to be mobilized.
Although the Root ninja responsible for relaying the message hadn't left yet, with such an incident occurring inside the base, the other Root ninjas couldn't possibly be unaware.
Their first course of action would naturally be to head towards Danzo's location. Danzo had already heard the rustling footsteps, which gave him great reassurance.
"But aren't you a bit too arrogant? Do you think that having such power allows you to do as you please?
But it doesn't matter anymore. From the moment you arrived here, the Uchiha's intent to revolt has been confirmed.
Your fate is undoubtedly death!"
"Is that so?" Kaito looked at Danzo indifferently, then suddenly let out a slight laugh. "Do you remember what I told you last time?"
What he told him last time?
Danzo furrowed his brows, and the next moment, his expression became incredibly gloomy.
"I told you, do you think you're the Hokage?"
Kaito paid no mind to the change in Danzo's expression. His face was filled with mocking, and this made Danzo's face even gloomier.
"You are not a Hokage at all, you are merely a rat in the gutter, self-deprecating and pitiful!"
"Kill him!"
As if a sore spot had been pricked, Danzo had no intention of wasting any more words with Kaito.
Especially when a part of the Root ninjas stormed in, he decisively gave the order, and he himself directly started to move towards the back.
"Ding!"
With a crisp sound like the clashing of metal, a Root ninja appeared behind Kaito.
He was wielding a ninja sword and was aiming at Kaito, but his sword could not get close to Kaito's body.
For on Kaito's body, a deep blue chakra had surfaced at some unknown point!
"Thinking of leaving, have you asked me?"
Kaito didn't pay any attention to the Root ninja behind him, nor did he pay any heed to those Root ninjas rushing towards him. His eyes were locked onto Danzo.
With a twist of his body, in an instant, Kaito appeared in front of Danzo, giving none of these Root ninjas any time to react. His ninja sword was already swung out fiercely!
The speed of space is unimaginable. Minato Namikaze could become the nightmare of Iwagakure, all thanks to his Flying Thunder God Technique.
However, space-time ninjutsu is not omnipotent, especially when facing powerful ninjas who are prepared, they can still defend or even dodge!
Take for example the Fourth Raikage brothers of Kumogakure, they had an equal fight with Minato Namikaze, even though he distracted them with his Flying Thunder God Technique.
And the Fourth Raikage in his prime, once he activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode, was not slower than the Flying Thunder God Technique.
This guy could evade Amaterasu from Sasuke Uchiha purely based on speed, but Danzo was certainly not the Fourth Raikage in his prime.
This man was a formidable ninja, especially at this stage he was still barely considered as one.
He would never truly trust his subordinates to solve the problem, he had been on guard against Kaito. As soon as he detected the eruption of Kaito's chakra, he was ready.
But he never dreamed that Kaito would use space-time ninjutsu, which gave him almost pitifully short reaction time, he could only lean back and quickly raise his hand.
"Swish!"
The sound of a sharp blade slicing through flesh and bone suddenly echoed, blood splashed, a bandage-wrapped arm flew up into the air.
"Protect Lord Danzo!"
It was at this moment that the Root ninjas finally reacted. They circled up as quickly as possible, using their own bodies to shield Danzo.
But at this point, Kaito had once again left the scene using 'Void Walking', and he dared not recklessly use this technique now.
"Indeed, even if it's undefendable, one can still evade. Danzo really is cautious, always on guard against me."
Kaito thought to himself silently, but soon his hands began to form seals, and in an instant, a surge of chakra was brewed within him.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive fireball formed in front of Kaito, then ruthlessly charged towards Danzo's position.
The Root ninjas reacted with lightning speed, some of them dragging Danzo to the side for cover, while others rapidly released Water Release techniques.
However, the quality of Kaito's dark flames was simply too high, those Water Release techniques had barely surfaced before they were evaporated completely.
Several Root ninjas were directly turned into ash in the scorching flames accompanied by screams, and Kaito's fire completely blocked the path that Danzo had intended to take!
"Some of you escort Lord Danzo out, and pass on the orders. The rest stay with me to stop this guy."
Facing such a dire situation, a Root ninja quickly spoke up, and then all the Root ninjas immediately assembled and started moving, carrying out the orders in an orderly manner.
The quality of the Root ninjas was indeed very high, this scene made Kaito couldn't help but sigh a little, but such a sentiment disappeared in an instant.
Regardless of how excellent these guys are, they are now his enemies, and naturally, what he has to do is to annihilate his enemies!
"What good will running do?"
Kaito lightly swung his sword, then laughed softly, shaking his head slightly.
"No matter how much you struggle, there is only one end for you, and that is death!"
As his words fell, Kaito had already charged forward, and the remaining Root ninjas also rushed towards Kaito at this moment...
.....
"What?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been waiting for news in the Hokage office, couldn't sit still anymore after hearing the report from the Anbu.
The Uchiha clan was aflame, this he had not yet taken to heart.
But when he heard and personally felt the hot breath erupting from the Root base, and that reckless chakra, he realized something was wrong.
And now that he had understood a specific situation, he also realized how bad things were.
The Mangekyou Sharingan user, Uchiha Itachi, had actually failed, and moreover, the Uchihas had launched a terrifying counterattack.
All of the ninjas who were surrounding the Uchiha's area were completely wiped out, and now these Uchihas were actually directly attacking the Root base?
"Are they openly rebelling?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi nearly growled through gritted teeth, the worst part being that he knew.
The major clans and ninjas of Konoha must have noticed that something was wrong, and they were definitely starting to take action!
The silver-haired Anbu member kneeling in front of him kept his head down and didn't interrupt. He didn't even look at the Third Hokage, just silently stayed there like a sculpture.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, after all, was the Hokage. He quickly controlled his emotions and, after quick thought, could only shake his head helplessly.
The Uchihas had played this step very tightly. They hadn't come to cause trouble for him, which might still be something Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to see, because this meant the Uchihas were going to war with Konoha!
They went straight to Danzo, thereby avoiding the charge of insurrection. It's highly likely that they've actually found some evidence.
Thinking about this, a wave of anger ignited in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.
Although Danzo had always been overstepping his authority, always trying to become Hokage, it had to be said that Danzo was very important to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Danzo was Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow, and Hiruzen Sarutobi must find a way to save him!
