When Kaze saw that Aburame Torune his defenses, it was too late to withdraw his attack. He could only watch helplessly as his kunai pierced his brother's chest.
"Puff."
The Aburame Torune out a mouthful of blood.
Feng caught the fallen Torune and said.
"Why? Why do this?"
"Cough, cough."
"This is the best way; dying by your hand is the last choice I can make."
Kaze and Torune joined Root together. At that time, Danzo was still radical but still aimed to protect Konoha. However, as time went by, Danzo began to change. He began to distrust everyone, even Kaze and Torune, who were his earliest followers. They were subjected to the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal and became Danzo's puppets, losing their own thoughts. Torune used his death to be loyal to Danzo one last time.
"Wind, live in the sunlight! Take care of the home for me, I can't go back."
After giving his final words, Torune received a nod of approval from Feng, then closed his eyes with a smile.
"Torune."
Feng held Torune's body and shouted loudly.
"Senior, peace is truly difficult to achieve!"
After witnessing the fierce fighting within the Root, Shisui spoke in a heavy tone.
Yes, every peace is inevitably accompanied by death.
"But this is not a reason for us to fear the road ahead."
"We cannot leave our affairs to the next generation. The same goes for death."
Shisui watched Karot's retreating figure, his resolve hardened. He couldn't allow anyone to ruin Karot's plans; he believed only Karot could bring peace to the Ninja World.
Danzo, who was fighting Orochimaru, heard the wind's cry and knew that his subordinates were likely dead. However, this did not affect his actions at all, and he fought Orochimaru with extraordinary ferocity.
"Wind Style: Great Breakthrough"
Danzo used Ninjutsu that he could unleash instantly, aiming at Orochimaru.
"Triple Rashomon"
The Ninjutsu struck Rashomon.
"Bang, bang, bang."
After breaking through the Triple Rashomon, the effect of Wind Style also disappeared. Despite Danzo's advanced age, he still possesses Hashirama's cells within his body, so his strength has not decreased but rather increased.
"Wind Style, Vacuum Great Sphere."
Danzo spat out a large storm bomb, intending to strike Rashomon Orochimaru shattered.
"Summoning Technique."
Orochimaru immediately summoned his summoning beast Orochimaru's Snake.
"Orochimaru, this time I'm going to..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was hit by Danzo's Wind Style technique and sent straight back to his hometown. Orochimaru's outrageous move left Karot and Shisui, who were watching the battle, completely dumbfounded. Orochimaru was the first to use a summoned beast as a shield.
Orochimaru summoned five or more snakes. The Earth Dragon Cave had plenty of snakes, a dense swarm of them hanging from the trees and crawling all over the ground. It was like entering a snake's den.
Karot immediately backed away; it was disgusting. The saliva secreted from the snake's body almost made Karot vomit his dinner. After Orochimaru finished fighting, Karot would definitely give him some feedback, telling him not to be so perverted when there were spectators present in the future. He should tone it down a bit.
The battle between Orochimaru's army and Root was nearing its end. After the last Root member was stabbed to death, Orochimaru's subordinates began to systematically clean up the battlefield.
"Danzo, all your men are gone. Don't you want to consider going to join them?"
Orochimaru, like a snake spouting ivory, immediately demanded Danzo's death. Danzo, in turn, knew he couldn't escape without eliminating Orochimaru. Unaware of the presence of Karot and Uchiha Shisui Danzo certainly wouldn't have resisted. This was all Orochimaru's doing; he wanted to test his skills on Danzo, as Orochimaru had already injected Hashirama's cells into his body.
"Bang!"
The main entrance to the Hokage Building was broken into from the outside.
"Lord Hokage, Danzo has escaped."
An Anbu quickly relayed the information. He was the first Anbu to wake up, and he specifically chose this time to report.
"What? How could he possibly have escaped?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen feigned shock, his expression perfectly controlled.
Jiraiya, the two advisors, and Minato, who were all present, were waiting for the Anbu's answer.
"It was Root. Root members used Genjutsu on us to rescue Danzo. We lost many members."
"Outrageous! That Danzo!"
Danzo's anger flared instantly upon hearing of the Anbu's sacrifice. Jiraiya had actually attacked a village ninja. The reason Jiraiya and Minato were at the Hokage Building that evening was to find out what Sarutobi Hiruzen had done to Danzo. He felt deeply sorry for Tsunade seeing her distress.
"Go after him immediately! Go and bring Danzo back to me!"
"Jiraiya, Minato, you two will lead the Jonin Commander and the Anbu to capture Danzo."
Since the incident has occurred, remedial measures must be taken. Moreover, Sarutobi Hiruzen's order was only to capture him alive, not to kill him. There are readily available candidates to carry out this mission, and Jiraiya and Minato, the master and disciple duo, are the most suitable. This will enhance Minato's reputation.
"Yes, teacher."
"Yes, Lord Hokage."
Jiraiya and Minato went to organize the personnel.
"Hiruzen, let's go down too."
The two advisors left, leaving only Sarutobi Hiruzen in the Hokage's office.
"Danzo, you've been given a chance, so don't take it for granted."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice was very soft; only he could hear it.
However, at this time, every Jonin received a mission. Fugaku Uchiha, the Hyuga brothers, the Ino-Shika-Cho, Kakashi, and some civilian Jonin were all gathering at the village entrance.
"Danzo defected, Lord Hokage has ordered us to capture him. Understand?"
Jiraiya announced Sarutobi Hiruzen's order to the ninja.
"Yes."
"Out!"
Jiraiya Tsunade could finish speaking, Kato Shizune.
"Let's go too."
Tsunade said to Jiraiya.
Jiraiya Tsunade and Shizune's eyes. He couldn't refuse them; if he Tsunade, he didn't know what Tsunade would do.
"Okay, but you have to follow orders."
After receiving Tsunade's assurance, Jiraiya waved his hand, and all the Jonin rushed into the dense forest, following the trail left by Danzo.
"Ah!"
Danzo through the body by Orochimaru's sword, and another life was lost.
"Orochimaru, how did you become so strong?"
After Danzo was killed by Orochimaru one after another, this thought lingered in his mind.
Orochimaru licked his lips and said.
"Shouldn't you have guessed it already?"
