Uncle, save me!

Meanwhile, in the distance, one could see the figure of a member of the Konoha Military Police Force.

He was watching everything that was happening in front of him with a look of horror on his face.

"Captain, no, I have to go find Lord Danzō, only Lord Danzō..."

The Konoha Military Police Force member in the distance quickly jumped away and disappeared from the spot.

Upon hearing Kanami's question, Shimura Shunta felt a chill run through his body, his pupils trembling uncontrollably as if in an earthquake.

Why would he ask me this question? Could it be that he already knows this matter is related to my Uncle?

No, he doesn't have any evidence right now, otherwise he wouldn't be asking me!

I absolutely cannot admit it! As long as I stick to my story, he won't kill me without evidence!

"I have no idea..."

"You do not know?"

Kanami chuckled softly.

According to Mind's Eye of the Kagura's perception, Shimura Shunta was lying, meaning he knew it.

This matter is probably inextricably linked to Danzō Shimura, Kanami had already confirmed in his heart.

"I... I really don't know."

"Lord Danzō and I are simply uncle and nephew. He is the Lord Hokage's Assistant, while I am just a lowly Security Force captain."

Shimura Shunta remained adamant and refused to admit it.

"That's true," Kanami pulled out another Kunai.

You have no idea that I can see through your lies.

Upon hearing this, Shimura Shunta's breathing became rapid.

He saw right through me? How could that be?

Kanami was too lazy to explain anything to him.

He raised his Kunai and plunged it into Shimura Shunta's head.

"Wait a minute!"

The elephant's figure appeared in front of the two in an instant, grabbing the Kunai that Kanami was about to stab.

However, with Kanami already having opened the fourth level of the Gate of Pain, Xiang's single arm was simply not enough to stop Kanami.

The elephant beneath the mask was startled and instantly used all its strength to stop him.

At the same time, Xiang hurriedly said, "He is Lord Danzō's nephew. If you kill him, Lord Danzō holds you accountable, even the Lord Hokage will have a hard time protecting you."

Xiang may let Kanami teach Shimura Shunta lesson, but he will not allow Shimura Shunta to be killed.

He knew that Hiruzen Sarutobi valued Kanami highly.

Meanwhile, the Security Force arrived at the underground Root Base.

It was simply because he had once accompanied Shimura Shunta to escort Takeshi here.

Before they had gone too far, a masked Root member held Kunai to their neck.

The Security Force guards immediately shouted, "I'm Shimura Shunta's subordinate! Captain Shunta is in danger!"

Shimura Shunta?

Upon hearing this, the Root member coldly replied, "You wait here."

It then disappeared from the spot and headed deeper into the area.

Before long, Danzō Shimura arrived in front of the Security Force.

The moment he saw Danzō Shimura, he cried out anxiously, "Lord Danzō! Captain Shunta is about to be killed!"

Danzō, whose expression was already somber, immediately fixed his gaze upon hearing his words.

"Is it Sand Village or Sound Ninja? Take me to see them immediately."

Danzō Shimura still cared about this last remaining member of the clan; otherwise, he wouldn't have placed him in the position of captain of the Security Force.

The Security Force stammered, "N-no, it's some Red-haired Kid from Konoha..."

Upon hearing this, Danzō Shimura immediately realized what was happening!

"Tenzo, keep a close eye on the movements above. When the time is right, strike and kill the Sand and Sound Ninja, while also winning the favor of the Daimyo and the villagers."

"Yes."

After saying this, Danzō Shimura grabbed the Security Force and rushed towards the ground.

Shimura Shunta was lying on the ground, still had his left hand stuck in the ground. Even with the current opening, he could not easily escape.

"It really wasn't me! Senior, you have to believe me!"

The elephant's intervention was, in his eyes, a lifeline.

Kanami gave Shimura Shunta a cold glance.

Then he looked at the elephant and said:

"Uncle and nephew? So what? When he killed me, did he ever think this day would come?"

Both assassination attempts implicated Hinata; for that reason alone, he deserved to die.

"If that's the case, then of course you can kill him, but do you have any evidence? Besides, the village is in turmoil right now; it's not too late to make a decision later."

The elephant continued to obstruct and admonish.

"Yes, I am the proof."

The two men's words reached Shimura Shunta's ears, and his mind, which had been focused on how to survive, suddenly understood something.

The two men spoke as if they were equals.

"Could this brat actually be a member of the Anbu?!"

After having this conjecture, Shimura Shunta turned ashen-faced.

Only the most talented geniuses can enter the Anbu at this age.

Just then, a low shout suddenly rang out.

"Elephant! Instead of helping the Lord Hokage escape, what are you doing here attacking my people?"

Hearing his Uncle's familiar voice, Shimura Shunta, lying on the ground, rekindled his will to live.

"Uncle, save me!"

The elephant lowered its head and said, "Lord Danzō, the Lord Hokage is trapped in the Four Violet Flames Formation, and we cannot get close."

"What is the meaning of harming my people?"

Danzō Shimura slowly approached him.

Omoi, standing nearby, was sweating profusely.

The situation is getting worse.

After glancing at the group, he took advantage of their standoff and prepared to flee.

Kanami merely glanced at him indifferently, then appeared beside him at lightning speed.

With the enhancement of the fourth level of the Gate of Pain and Cell Activation, his movement speed is even more practical than his Body Flicker Technique.

Kanami slammed his fist down.

With a single blow, Omoi's eyes rolled back, and he groaned as he fainted.

It Killer Bee incredibly fast; by the time Danzō and ō realized what was happening, Omoi was already lying on the ground.

"So fast!"

In an instant, both Shimura Shunta and Sho were reminded of the fastest man— Yellow Flash.

Despite the pain, Shimura Shunta was lying on the ground, pulled out the Kunai that was stuck in the ground along with his left hand, and stood up.

He hadn't dared to move easily before, fearing that an enraged Kanami would kill him with a single blow, but now that his Uncle Danzō present, what did he have to worry about?

Even the Anbu, how much of a ripple can they make when their status is that of Hokage Assistant?

After standing up, he glared at Kanami and Xiang beside him with a ferocious expression.

He then disdainfully turned his head to look at Danzō Shimura's mournful face.

"Uncle, if you had come any later, you would never have seen me again."

After saying that, he looked at the elephant with a sinister gaze.

"He colluded with that brat, and instead of killing our enemy when the enemy was at hand, he attacked my Security Force captain and even tried to kill me!"

Upon hearing these words, Danzō Shimura's brows twitched slightly.

He realized his nephew was labeling him, and doing it quite well.

Even if Orochimaru fails, he can use this as grounds to impeach Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Thinking of this, Danzō Shimura's lips curled into a slight smile.

Suppressing his joy, he looked at Xiang with a grim expression. "Is that so? Xiang, are you going to kill the last surviving Shimura Clan?"
