Capítulo 84: Chapter 84: The Fish Took the Bait!
---
"Humming~"
Anko Mitarashi, after leaving the Hokage's office, was in high spirits, humming a tune softly. She felt the thrill of boasting and understood why people enjoyed it so much. After all, Shishou was indeed wealthy; she merely exaggerated a bit. As she walked out of the Hokage building, she suddenly stopped.
"Oh no! I forgot to tell the Third Hokage and the others that Shishou can disguise himself."
After a brief pause, she decided to find out more about Shishou's relationship with Orochimaru before reporting to the Third Hokage. Anko then left the village, planning to directly ask Shishou. If he refused, she thought of threatening him with the fact that she saw him secretly reading adult books.

Meanwhile, the Third Hokage and other Konoha high officials also left the Hokage building.
"Where's Danzo?" The Third Hokage looked around but didn't see him.
"He said he had something to attend to and left," Mitokado Homura yawned and said casually.
"I see..."

In the Land of Fire, on the road from Konoha to Fire Source City, Shishou decided to take a carriage back to Fire Source City due to the many things he bought in Konoha. He planned to bring these specialties to Mikoto, as well as Izumi and Yugao from the Land of Iron. Yugao Uzuki, wearing a mask, quietly drove the carriage outside while Shishou lay inside, resting with his eyes closed.
Just before dawn, the carriage stopped. Shishou opened his eyes, a smile forming on his lips: The fish took the bait!

After gaining the Wood Release, Shishou still occasionally visited Danzo's cloning lab for supplies and learned that Danzo had slowed down the progress of his experiments due to a lack of funds. Today, after embarrassing Danzo and revealing his wealth, Shishou knew that Danzo, known for his ruthlessness, would be tempted.
"Heh, they even thought of disguising themselves as bandits. Root members are indeed clever..."
Shishou let Yugao into the carriage and stepped outside, mocking the dozen or so black-clad Root members.
"Surrender peacefully."
All the Root members, trained by Danzo to be tools, showed no emotion even after being discovered and said coldly.
Shishou couldn't be bothered to argue. Forming hand seals, he summoned the red-armored centipede.
"Heh, a summoning beast?"
Seeing Shishou summon a giant summoning beast, Shimura Danzo stepped out from the shadows, no longer needing to hide.
"Who would have thought that Konoha would send someone to rob an employer halfway. What a surprise."
Shishou looked at Danzo, smiling slyly, knowing it was Danzo's personal action but still taking the moral high ground.
"I won't kill you; I just want you to submit to me and use your funds to help me achieve great things!"
Danzo rarely smiled, his ugly face becoming even more repulsive. Because TenTen's family was a major taxpayer in Konoha, and under the close watch of the Third Hokage and other high officials, Danzo had set his sights on Shishou, an outsider.
"You're so ugly; you shouldn't smile. It's really scary."
Shishou smirked and commanded the red-armored centipede to attack Danzo and his men.
"Little Red, don't kill them."
Hearing Shishou's insult, Danzo's face darkened instantly.
"Mere summoning beast!"
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!
Danzo spat out a breath, forming a massive wind blade that slashed at the red-armored centipede. The centipede's shell was extremely tough, and the Vacuum Wave left only a white mark on it, surprising Danzo.
Under Shishou's control, the red-armored centipede charged directly at Danzo. Shishou had no intention of engaging Danzo in close combat, being wary of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan.
Returning to the carriage, Shishou knocked out the somewhat anxious Yugao. Holding the unconscious Yugao, he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to return to the Kakegurui building, placed her on the sofa, and then used the Flying Thunder God Technique again to arrive in Mikoto's room.
"Why is Pakura here again?"
Frowning at Pakura sleeping next to Mikoto, Shishou grabbed Mikoto's shoulder and teleported her to his room.
"What's going on?"
Mikoto, woken by Shishou, rubbed her sleepy eyes.
"Hurry up and get dressed; I'm taking you to kill Danzo!"
"Kill Danzo?"
Hearing Shishou's words, Mikoto's face changed, and her eyes immediately activated her three-tomoe Sharingan. Shishou had already informed her that it was Danzo who ordered Uchiha Itachi to carry out the Uchiha massacre. She harbored deep hatred for Danzo!
Quickly changing into a training outfit in Shishou's room, Uchiha Mikoto took the contact lenses and mask handed by Shishou. With the Flying Thunder God Technique, Shishou returned to the carriage, all in less than two minutes.
At this time, Danzo and his men were still attacking the red-armored centipede. The centipede's massive size and tough shell made it impervious to ordinary ninjutsu, making it a perfect tool for fighting weaker opponents.
"Danzo!"
Seeing Danzo, Uchiha Mikoto, masked, was extremely agitated, but Shishou quickly pulled her back.
On the other side, seeing that the red-armored centipede wasn't easy to deal with, Danzo turned to his Root members and said:
"You, deal with him and that woman!"
Not knowing if Shishou had other abilities, Danzo decided to have his men test him first.
"Yes!"
The dozen Root members responded and charged at Shishou and Mikoto.
"Go deal with..."
Before Shishou could finish, Mikoto had already rushed at the Root members.
Blinded by hatred...
Seeing Mikoto surrounded by the Root members, Shishou shook his head.
Fortunately, after long-term sparring with Pakura, Mikoto's combat experience had greatly improved. Additionally, Shishou periodically took Mikoto to visit Sasuke, using emotional stimuli to enhance her Sharingan. In terms of raw power, Mikoto had already reached the threshold of an elite ninja. Now, fighting seven or eight Root members, she could barely manage with the help of her three-tomoe Sharingan.
Danzo and the Root members didn't notice anything unusual, still thinking that Mikoto was Yugao Uzuki who stayed by Shishou's side.
With Mikoto surrounded, three more Root members charged at Shishou.
Bang bang bang...
Easily knocking out the Root members charging at him, Shishou turned his gaze to the remaining enemies.
To keep the ambush from being discovered by the Third Hokage, Danzo had left his strongest Root operatives in Konoha to mislead the Third Hokage. The ones he brought now were lower-ranked, disposable pawns.
Seeing that three Root members couldn't gauge Shishou's strength, Danzo wasn't surprised. However, he believed that with enough numbers, they could force Shishou to reveal his abilities.
"Attack him together."
Following Danzo's command, the remaining seven Root members charged at Shishou. This time, learning from their predecessors, they didn't engage Shishou in close combat but instead used ninjutsu to try and restrain him.
Shuriken, Fire Release, and Wind Release all targeted Shishou.
Next, a Root member resembling a small squad leader took out a scroll.
