Mu Yue did not even look back. He concentrated Stone Breathing to strengthen his power and defense, gathered Chakra between his right index and middle fingers, slightly turned his body, and extended his arm, precisely catching the incoming kunai between his fingers.
"Hm?" Shimura Danzō's expression changed slightly. He had not expected Sōsuke's reaction to be so fast.
Whoosh!!
Shimura Danzō erupted with Chakra to enhance his strength, intending to forcibly drive the kunai into Sōsuke's body.
The sudden eruption of powerful Chakra stirred up a gust of wind, lifting Sōsuke's hair and white robe. Yet, to Shimura Danzō's surprise, no matter how hard he pushed, the kunai could not advance even a millimeter.
"How can his strength be this great?!" Shimura Danzō pushed so hard that his feet sank into the ground, yet he still could not make the kunai move forward.
Shimura Danzō was not flustered by the failed ambush. This place was filled with his and Hanzo's shinobi, with Uchiha Madara's shinobi hidden among them as well. The operation could not possibly fail.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Seeing Shimura Danzō make his move, the Root shinobi disguised as Amegakure shinobi stopped pretending. They drew swords or pulled out kunai. Those closer to Sōsuke attacked Sōsuke, while those closer to Nagato ambushed Nagato.
Crack!
As Mu Yue exerted force with his fingers, the kunai gripped tightly by Shimura Danzō snapped in half.
Bang!
Mu Yue clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it into Shimura Danzō's abdomen. A dull impact rang out as Shimura Danzō was sent flying more than ten meters away.
Bang! Bang! Bang!!
Immediately afterward, Mu Yue's body flashed at high speed. Like lightning, he threw punches at the approaching Root shinobi, instantly sending every charging Root shinobi flying and crashing them to the ground.
