Capítulo 47: Chapter 47 [Bonus!]
"What do you mean?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back against the chair, his expression unchanged.
"I'm just advising you not to have any more thoughts about Jinchuriki. Also, return my people to me."
Upon hearing this, Danzo's face showed fluctuating emotions, constantly changing his expression.
In the end, he reluctantly lowered his head, "You'll see your disciples this afternoon when the Chunin exams end."
"And I won't come out again until the Chunin exams are over."
Danzo's lowered eyes were filled with fierceness.
But soon, he wouldn't have to endure this humiliation or bear the blame anymore.
What he needed now was to preserve his power and wait for the Chunin exams to end.
Seeing how quickly Danzo surrendered, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at him with surprise.
In the past, Danzo would have surely argued with him for a long time.
Then Sarutobi would say, "Danzo, I am the Hokage," and Danzo would reply, "Hiruzen, you will regret this," before it ended, right?
For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen felt unfamiliar without that part of the conversation, so he loosened the collar of his robes.
"Danzo, do I need to teach you the principle of punishing mistakes?"
"Do you intend to destroy my base?!"
Danzo was shocked and angry, looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen in disbelief.
"Are you planning to completely turn against me?"
"Don't forget the dirty things we did together!"
"If you dare to destroy my base, I will expose everything and tear off your long-worn mask of hypocrisy!"
At this point, Danzo seemed to regain some confidence. "Hmph, I am just a worm in the shadows. Reputation means nothing to me."
The reason Sarutobi Hiruzen tolerated him for so long was precisely because he had done so many despicable things and Danzo had taken the blame for them.
Once exposed, he wouldn't be able to hold the position of Hokage anymore.
That's why Sarutobi Hiruzen always held him up high and then gently put him down.
In the face of Danzo's threat, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face also darkened, and he spoke slowly.
"Under the Uchiha clan's shrine and ten kilometers west of the village in the Konoha Forest."
"The Death Forest is just one of your bases, Danzo. I don't want to completely ruin our relationship."
"After all the wrongs you've done, I need to give the Jinchuriki an outlet, and your base will only lose some manpower at most."
As Sarutobi Hiruzen mentioned each location, they were all Danzo's bases.
Danzo was a suspicious person, so he would never put all his eggs in one basket.
"Hehehe, Hiruzen, you really have some tricks up your sleeve. You've been investigating for a long time, haven't you?"
Danzo laughed in anger, slapping the table.
"They say a barking dog doesn't bite. Today I finally understand!"
"Let me accompany you and see how attractive this Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is, making you unable to resist attacking your old comrade!"
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, the crystal ball displayed the scene at the entrance of the root base.
And then the scene of the ANBU Black Ops being captured, almost making Danzo laugh to death.
"Hahaha, Hiruzen, is this the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki you've mastered?"
"It's indeed impressive. A skilled Chunin being captured so easily!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, as he had expected this scene as well.
He knew Kaze's personality well and had already instructed someone to create a profile on him in advance. The two words that described him best were "dangerous" and "unpredictable"!
So he didn't solely rely on Naruto to completely suppress him.
He even prepared a sealing squad specifically to study sealing techniques or to separate personalities.
At the same time, he temporarily relieved Yamato of his position as the captain of the ANBU Black Ops, assigning him to research how to use Wood Release to better seal the Nine-Tails' chakra.
Now he was waiting for Naruto to master the Nine-Tails' chakra so that he could deal with the dangerous personality of Kaze.
His gaze returned to the root base.
Kaze carried the ANBU operatives and quickly passed through the long corridor, arriving at an empty underground plaza.
With just a glance, he noticed Sasuke and Sakura unconscious in the middle of the plaza.
Beside them were several other masked ANBU operatives, also unconscious.
"Interesting, trying to frame and shift the blame, huh?"
With the malicious perception brought by the Nine-Tails' chakra, Kaze keenly sensed over ten hostile auras lurking in the darkness surrounding the plaza.
And these auras, filled with malice, were slowly approaching the entrance of the passage behind him.
Having guessed what these people were planning, Kaze cleverly moved to Sasuke and Sakura's side.
At the same time, the consciousness of Naruto inside also started to loudly clamor, urging Kaze to check on the two of them.
Just as Kaze crouched down to assess their condition.
Those ten-plus malicious auras instantly appeared, occupying the entrance to the passage.
Then, with a voice that could be heard throughout the base, they roared out.
"We have intruders!"
"The Nine-Tails jinchuriki is coming!"
These ten-plus malicious auras were none other than the masked ANBU operatives.
After shouting, they all rushed into the passage and quickly left the area.
"Just as I suspected, framing and shifting blame, and then using me to weaken and strike at Danzo," Kaze remarked.
He didn't pay any attention to the ANBU operatives fleeing.
Because he had already destroyed the exit outside, there was no way out for the time being.
The roar soon attracted a large number of root shinobi from within the base.
Upon seeing their fallen comrades around Kaze, they quickly surrounded him.
Kaze also moved his joints slightly, making a cracking sound.
After knocking out the ANBU operatives on his tail and throwing them to the ground, a bloodthirsty smile appeared on his lips.
"ANBU and Root, it's time for you to pay the price."
"Shadow Clone Jutsu."
Whoosh!
In an instant, nearly a hundred clones with golden-red Nine-Tails chakra emerged.
The clones divided into two groups, with one group heading towards the blocked passage.
The other group directly confronted the numerous root shinobi rushing out from within the base.
And so, a one-sided massacre began.
"Earth Style: Earth Flow!"
"Wind Style!"
The many root shinobi rushing out didn't even have time to form hand seals.
They were swiftly cleaved in half by the clones wielding chakra tails as weapons.
Even if some successfully formed seals, they couldn't land a hit on the clone with body-flicker-level agility.
Soon, blood and dismembered bodies covered the empty ground.
"How dull, all the ones who rushed out are only chuunin, not a single tokubetsu jonin or jonin," Kaze commented, supported by the Nine-Tails chakra.
He leisurely sat in place, yawning.
Meanwhile, Naruto's consciousness was causing a ruckus.
But due to Kaze's refusal to wake up the unconscious Sasuke and Sakura, Naruto didn't dare to seize control of the body for fear of causing danger.
He could only continuously use verbal attacks in an attempt to persuade Kaze to leave with them.
Just as Kaze was mocking Naruto's conscientiousness, an incoming attack caught his attention.
"Ninjutsu: Beast Imitation Art!"
"Roar!"
"Squawk!"
A black and white ink painting of a tiger and a giant eagle suddenly ambushed from the side.
After smashing the nearest clone into thin air, they continued their momentum and charged towards Kaze's main body.
"Oh? The current state of Sai already possesses the destructive power of an Elite Jonin?" Kaze remarked.
Only an Elite Jonin-level destructive power could destroy his Nine-Tails chakra clone.
"A young Elite Jonin... It seems Danzo will be distressed this time," he continued mockingly.
As he spoke, the fox tail behind Kaze suddenly thrust towards the darkness to the left.
"I found you!"
Whoosh!
In the darkness, Sai was struck squarely by the tail and instantly turned into a puddle of ink.
Immediately, a series of voices followed.
"Move quickly! The Ink Mist Technique won't conceal us for long!"
"Secret Technique: Mind Transfer Technique!"
"Secret Technique: Shadow Imitation Technique!"
"Secret Technique: Partial Multi-Size Technique!"
