A moment.
Swish, swish, swish.
Forty eyes full of murderous intent all locked onto that figure. They only waited for the order from the leader, Aburame Ryoma, to launch a suicidal attack.
Hm?
Aburame Ryoma frowned.
Uchiha Dan didn't bring anyone with him, he came alone.
Just...so confident?
Or is it that a large number of Uchiha ninjas have been ambushed outside Root's base. Once Root can't hold back and assassinate Dan, he will fall into the opponent's trap and be killed in one fell swoop.
Just when Aburame Ryoma was hesitating.
Dan sensed the murderous intention at the root of everyone, and couldn't help but laugh silently. Immediately, he also launched his own dark aura technique in response.
So.
A strong dark aura emanated from him, like a raging black mist spreading around, covering the entire underground base in an instant.
"!"
Everyone was suddenly frightened and inexplicable. In their eyes, Dan no longer looked like a human being, but an indescribable god.
It makes people afraid to look directly.
Under the cover of the aura technique, although these roots will not fall to their knees or pass out, they are still under tremendous pressure. They must concentrate on condensing chakra to resist the invasion of hallucinations.
At this moment, Dan stopped.
"I want to give you a task."
He looked down at the Aburame Ryoma and others in front of him, his indifferent tone was like that of a superior god.
Silence.
Aburame Ryoma and others expressed their rejection in this way. Asking them to obey Dan's orders is simply a fool's errand.
Even if they are martyred collectively, they will not give in.
Dan ignored it and continued:
"A few years ago, Danzo sent Root to join forces with Hanzo to kill Akatsuki's leader at the time. This incident led to Akatsuki's revenge on Konoha. As the culprit, Hanzo died without mercy. But..."
At this point, Dan suddenly changed the subject:
"For the sake of your loyalty to Danzo, I can give you a chance. As long as you complete the next task, I will use the power of the Hokage's assistant to free Danzo."
As soon as these words came out, everyone at the roots widened their eyes and stared at Dan.
They originally thought that Lord Danzo was thrown into the secret prison of Anbu and would never see the light of day again, but now they saw a glimmer of hope.
"What mission?" Aburame Ryoma finally spoke and said the first sentence.
"Assassinate the leader of the Akatsuki organization, Pain."
Dan said slowly, seducing everyone in the root like a devil, "As long as Pain dies, the Amegakure Village will be destroyed, and Konoha will win the war effortlessly. This contribution is enough to exchange for Danzo's freedom. "
"Why should we...believe you?" Aburame Ryoma asked in a deep voice.
It goes without saying how dangerous this task is to assassinate the leader of the Akatsuki organization.
Who knows if Dan deliberately sent everyone in the Root to Amegakure to die, and through this method of killing people with borrowed knives, to deal with them, Danzo's old subordinates?
"Why? Of course it is based on this."
Dan looked indifferent and silently recited those three words in his heart.
Stand ! The World!
Buzz.
In an instant, time froze and the whole world faded away.
The stand "The World" once again appeared behind Dan.
Then.
"MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA!"
Dan and The World took action together, punching violently, leaving no trace of the forty people present, and Hitting them all.
Dan put away the Stand.
Time resumes its flow.
Bang bang bang bang bang!
The roots suddenly flew out in all directions, hitting the walls, the guardrails of the corridor, and the floor, making painful groans.
"If i want to kill you, I don't need to go to great lengths."
Dan looked at the people at Root who were lying on the ground in pain, and said expressionlessly, "I will only show mercy this time. You can choose which way you want to go."
Aburame Ryoma struggled to get up from the ground, feeling horrified.
Although this was not the first time he had seen the power of Dan, he still failed to see clearly how it was done.
He also knew that Dan was holding back, because the few roots that Dan used this move to fly away last time all died on the spot.
Aburame Ryoma turned around and looked at each other silently, completing the silent communication with her eyes.
Then.
He took a deep breath and said to Dan: "We'll take on this mission."
In fact, they have no choice.
If you refuse to give up, there is only one outcome, and that is death.
After accepting the mission of killing Pain, there is still a glimmer of hope to return to Konoha and see Lord Danzo again.
"Don't worry, as long as you complete the task, I will keep my promise."
Dan emphasized again.
He didn't lie, he kept his word.
The question is, with these forty roots, can we kill Pain, no, can we kill Nagato?
Even if Dan himself go and brings the elite of the Uchiha clan, there is no guarantee that he can capture the Amegakure Village and kill Nagato.
He sent Aburame Ryoma and others with only one purpose, which was to provoke Nagato's anger.
Nagato should be angry.
He should have had a complete family and a wonderful childhood.
But during the Second Ninja War, Nagato's hometown was invaded by Konoha and the war was devastated. Even his parents were killed by the Konoha ninja who broke into the house and stole food. After the end, he only got one sentence——
"Sorry, kid."
If it were another person, it would be Nagato.
He would never have endured for so many years. He had killed Konoha long ago to make the village of ninja who killed his parents feel the pain.
After it was over, he said lightly to everyone in Konoha: "I'm sorry."
"This is what Konoha deserves."
I am really looking forward to that day coming.
When the time comes, he will definitely hide far away and enjoy the destruction of Konoha.
In the night.
Under the leadership of Aburame Ryoma, forty roots quietly left Konoha Village and headed west.
A few years ago, when they joined forces with Hanzo to set up a trap under Danzo's orders, they should have eradicated Akatsuki completely, but unfortunately they failed at that time.
This time, it is to complete the task that was not completed at the beginning.
Root will definitely complete the task.
Anbu secret prison.
Danzo had already woken up from his coma.
After he woke up, he learned from the Anbu who was guarding him that Uchiha Dan had succeeded him and became the new Hokage assistant.
Danzo's face was ashen.
But he did not despair, because he was still alive, and he believed that the Sandaime would not let him die.
Otherwise, the Sandaime would not have snatched him away from his dying hands.
Being put in jail was Hiruzen's protection for him.
After thinking about this, Danzo regained hope. He knew that he would get out of here sooner or later.
Just wait for the right time.
suddenly.
Danzo suddenly looked up and saw a tall figure appearing outside the cell at some point, blocking the lights in the corridor.
Although the man's face was covered with light and his face could not be seen clearly, such a majestic figure——
Besides Uchiha Dan, who else is there?
"Congratulations, you have become the Hokage's assistant. So are you here to show off to me?"
Danzo spoke calmly.
Although he and Dan were very close to each other, separated only by the pillars of the cell, he was sure that the other party would not dare to kill him.
"I'm here to ask Danzo-sama how to command your roots. They are loyal to you."
Dan sighed, seeming very distressed.
"Give up. My subordinates will not be controlled by you." Danzo shook his head and smiled.
Dan nodded in agreement and echoed:
"So I sent them to die. Your subordinates willingly accepted my mission in order to rescue you from here."
After saying that, without waiting for Danzo to react, he turned around and strode away.
in the dark.
Danzo's face gradually became distorted with anger.
