Whatever You Think!

Chapter 21: Whatever You Think!

"Yo, everyone's here. Have you eaten breakfast?"

Kazuki walked over with a smile, waving in greeting.

The way he carried himself was like he was inspecting troops!

Fugaku glanced around, his gaze lingering briefly on the masks of the corpses. Slowly, he said, "Kazuki, this is..."

Those masked ninjas were clearly Root.

Kazuki had fought Root members?

Had they completely torn off all pretense?

That thought spread through many people's minds.

"Me? I was playing hide-and-seek. Whoever I caught got a ninjutsu." Kazuki smiled. "What do you think, Clan Head? Want to join? It's more fun when everyone plays together."

He emerged bathed in blood.

"Shh!" Kazuki turned his head, smiling at Danzo as he made a silencing gesture. "Stop shouting nonsense, or I'll have no choice but to slaughter you."

"Hm?"

"No need!"

Fugaku's expression was grave, and he said nothing.

The people around them were stunned as well.

Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!

After making such a huge mess, he was just going back to sleep?

"Uchiha Kazuki!!!"

Kazuki's Fire Style had been aimed at the Root ninjas, but the direction that Root ninja had fled in was Danzo's direction.

Like... a demon king come to save the world.

More than a dozen Root members had died!

Even Danzo had been injured.

With every step he took, the sea of flames seemed to part for him.

The other Konoha ninjas were dumbstruck.

Danzo let out a furious roar.

Well, damn!

He openly declared that he wanted to kill a genius of the Uchiha Clan?!

And it was Uchiha Kazuki, who was already at the center of the storm.

That single sentence made the brows of the Uchiha ninjas shoot up.

He turned and left.

When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was Danzo.

Who would have thought that several Root members at his side would be lost instead?

Even Uchiha Fugaku, who was always tough when dealing with internal matters, had a face full of rage.

Bang!

An endless sea of fire spread toward them.

Slap!

At the same time, a trace of fear lurked deep in his eyes.

He stepped out of the flames, stood before Danzo, looked at him, and smiled.

Look, the big fatty from Ino-Shika-Cho is swallowing hard.

Someone wore a strange expression.

Kazuki brought his hands together.

Suddenly, Inoichi Yamanaka lowered his voice and said, "Someone's coming. It's Danzo!"

Just as everyone was shocked, someone suddenly cried out.

Are you sure you want to do this?

Because Kazuki and Shisui were seriously injured, there were rather a lot of Uchiha ninjas here.

An angry roar rang out.

They stared wide-eyed at the violently burning flames that seemed capable of burning the world to ashes.

Uchiha Muneyoshi muttered, "Fugaku, does your Great Fire Annihilation have this kind of power?"

There were four jonin among them, while the other eight were also Special Jonin. They accounted for one-third of Root's high-end combat strength!

Was that the Body Flicker Technique?

This time, the Root members Danzo had sent to capture Kazuki numbered a full twelve.

Now, Danzo openly issued an order to kill.

"Uchiha Kazuki!"

Finally!

Kazuki stretched his body and muttered to himself, "How long has it been since I had a proper workout? Mm, that felt good. Life truly lies in exercise. The ancients did not deceive me!"

"Where's Danzo?"

Silence was the best answer.

Danzo panted heavily, his expression twisted as he stared hatefully at the sea of fire.

Inoichi Yamanaka's expression was odd as he said, "They're coming out."

"Whatever you think."

Unfortunately, they had no chance.

Footsteps rang out.

My heart hurts.

Fugaku asked instinctively,

"Going home to sleep!"

Forming hand seals was simple.

His face darkened.

Kazuki smiled at Danzo. "Lord Danzo is here too. Wait a moment. I'm almost done here, just this tiny bit more."

The Root ninja beside him was in even worse condition. To put it simply, he smelled like grilled meat.

He had actually died just like that.

Even the bandages on his face still had flames flickering on them.

"Uchiha Kazuki, stop!"

As soon as the words fell,

that Root ninja shuddered violently and rushed toward Danzo. "Lord Danzo, save me!"

For the last Root ninja, Kazuki used Fire Style.

"Whatever you think."

Danzo nearly ground his teeth to pieces as he said bitterly, "Uchiha Kazuki, you attacked Konoha's high command, the Hokage's assistant. Are you trying to betray the village?"

The hospital exploded!

Screw you.

"One minute? No, it only took an instant!"

Two figures burst out of the sea of fire.

Shikaku Nara glanced at his old companion, his eyes darkening slightly.

The temperature around them began to rise.

The Uchiha were ready to fight at any moment.

Everyone held their breath slightly, their eyes filled with horror.

He shifted his gaze to the last Root ninja.

The crucial point was that Danzo and Kazuki had briefly exchanged blows within the sea of fire.

Danzo flew into a rage and shouted, "Go! Kill him for me!"

Inoichi Yamanaka was one of Konoha's foremost sensory ninjas.

Uchiha Kazuki!

If it had only been a Great Fire Annihilation, it naturally could not have left Danzo and his Root members in such a sorry state.

Surrounded by several Root ninjas, Danzo arrived here. When he saw the corpses and blood scattered all over the ground, veins bulged on his forehead.

No!

That was practically... the Yellow Flash!

Tap, tap, tap!

A figure flickered in and out of sight.

His cane had long since vanished without a trace.

Danzo said coldly, "Do you want to betray the village?"

His face was truly blackened now, blackened by smoke.

Surging Chakra erupted from Kazuki's body, making every sensory ninja present feel suffocated for an instant.

Uchiha Kazuki had clearly lost his Mangekyo and had even become blind, yet he was this strong?

This guy had hidden himself too deeply.

Going home... to sleep?

Danzo was dumbfounded.

"Kazuki, where are you going?"

Danzo's entire body trembled as he glared at Kazuki with hatred, as though he wanted to tear him apart.

In the end, Danzo bore it all!

Fugaku's face darkened as he gritted his teeth unwillingly. "Save them!"

All around them were ninjas who had died gruesome deaths, yet Uchiha Kazuki's appearance was far too striking. Under the sunlight, he gave off a bloody kind of beauty.

The extreme heat caused even the nearby trees to catch fire.

Lord Danzo, you're being a little too arrogant.

One breath was enough!

Inoichi Yamanaka muttered quietly, "Strong. Very strong. Extremely strong."

Only, Danzo was in a truly miserable state at the moment.

These were all Root ninjas!

The elites under his command!

Kazuki could at least crush Danzo and his Root.

Huff, huff!

This was a complete disregard for the Uchiha!

"Yo!"

Large parts of his body were badly burned.

Not just ordinary ninjas—even the Uchiha, who excelled in Fire Style, kept retreating.

Still, no matter how one looked at Uchiha Kazuki, he was an extremely dangerous person.

Danzo wanted to use the cover of the sea of fire to kill Kazuki.

His voice was low, but loud enough for the two people beside him to hear.

Under everyone's gaze, he set his hair on fire.

A suffocating sense of oppression emerged.

Kazuki's disregard made him feel humiliated.

Kazuki strolled slowly out of the sea of fire.

And!

Coming from Inoichi Yamanaka, this evaluation was something he had never heard before.

It was still that same casual sentence.

Then, he turned around stylishly and left.
