The Konoha Ninja gathered in front of the Military Police Force building stared at the enormous tree towering before them, all utterly stunned.
"Ahhh!"
Just then, Danzo's pained wails came from beneath the tree.
Only then did everyone realize that although the Wood Release inside him had completely run amok, Danzo was somehow still alive.
"What!?"
The Konoha Ninja exchanged bewildered looks, unsure what to do.
Shinji glanced over and said calmly, "This was my oversight. I didn't expect Danzo's body to be in such bad shape. Sealing Team, seal Danzo again to stop the Wood Release inside him from continuing to run wild and endangering everyone else!"
"Yes, sir!"
The Sealing Team hurried forward and tried to seal Danzo again.
There was nothing to criticize about Shinji's order, so whether or not they trusted him, the Konoha Ninja around them had no objections.
As the Sealing Team tried to seal Danzo again, Sasuke gritted his teeth. "Damn it, that bastard still isn't dead!"
Shinji's expression remained unchanged.
Danzo was still alive not because he had a strong life force or had gotten lucky. Shinji had secretly used Naobi to instruct Nameless to mark Danzo with Yachihoko.
Thus, when the Wood Release inside Danzo ran amok, Nameless used Yachihoko to draw out some of the Yang Release Chakra running wild in his body, allowing Danzo to cling to life.
Before long, the Sealing Team's ninja had sealed Danzo again, suppressing the Yang Release Chakra running wild inside him.
But the towering tree, formed from countless branches that had burst out of Danzo's body, was still connected to him by flesh and blood. The Sealing Team's ninja had no idea whether they should cut the area connecting Danzo to the tree, so they could only retreat helplessly and look to Shinji.
