Within Root Office.
"Ryoma, I asked you to investigate the whereabouts of Shisui. How is the investigation going?"
Danzo, who had been holding back his anger during the day, was now looking at Torune Aburame, waiting for the other party's investigation report.
This Jonin of the Aburame Clan is the right-hand man of Danzo, and is also one of the few Elite Jonin among Root Organization. He is very good at using insects to attack.
Torune Aburame wore a mask and said expressionlessly, "We still haven't found the whereabouts of Shisui, but I heard from the people lurking in Uchiha that there was fighting near the Naka River last night, and the pursuit team may have died there."
"My subordinates are wondering whether all this was directed and acted by Shisui."
"He deliberately leaked Mangekyo's secret to Hokage and fabricated Kotoamatsukami's abilities in order to deliberately lure us into attacking and make us bear the infamy of attacking our companions. While Hokage is suspicious, he can also continue to be known as missing and hide behind the scenes."
After listening to Torune Aburame's words, Danzo nodded slightly and agreed, "Longma, your thoughts are the same as mine. This is all a conspiracy of those Uchihas."
"How could Shisui, who has awakened Mangekyo, be ostracized by his tribe? He is lurking around Third Hokage to collect intelligence in the name of becoming a bridge between Uchiha and Konoha. He is actually the mastermind behind Tiehuo."
"Without the support of Shisui, why would Tiehuo and Jonin have a mediocre record challenge Fugaku."
"Fugaku is also pitiful. He didn't make any mistakes by staying in the position of Clan Head, but he was usurped by the puppet arranged by Shisui. Clan Head Position."
"I never expected that Jing's descendants would be such insidious and cunning people."
Speaking of this, Danzo touched the position of his right eye. His right eye was injured while protecting the mirror. The mirror was seriously injured by the enemy during the mission, and when he was dying, he gave Sharingan to himself.
At the same time, he also gave himself a life-saving means named Izanagi.
He also kept away from Shisui for the sake of Kagami Uchiha. Unfortunately, Shisui was so dark-hearted that he not only quietly awakened Mangekyo, but also set up a plan against him.
"Now it seems that Youhu is probably also a spy planted by Shisui next to Hiruzen."
"That kid showed all kinds of kindness to Hokage, but he didn't look like Uchiha. He was just like Ninja who was born in the Sarutobi Clan. But he made all sorts of rude remarks to Old Man, without giving Old Man any face."
"Recently, I have been flirting with Jiraiya. Do you want to make Jiraiya your teacher and try to get Hokage Position?"
"Teacher Tobirama is right, these Uchihas are all insidious and cunning Ninja, the old ones are like this, and the young ones are the same. If Hiruzen hadn't tried his best to stop it, Old Man would have already attacked Uchiha--"
Listening to Danzo's roar, Torune Aburame remained silent.
Danzo is not usually like this. Maybe he was a little bit offended by the Shisui incident. After all, the person who set the trap to invite Shisui to the appointment was Danzo. After Shisui counterattacked, the person who was so angry was also Danzo.
However, he only dared to hide these words in his heart, but he did not dare to say them out casually.
Although Danzo silently guards the village in the dark, he is rather small-minded. If he offends Danzo, he will easily be sent out to perform missions that require death.
This is how the walking witches Nonō and Kabuto Yakushi died a few years ago.
At this time, Danzo noticed that Torune Aburame was a little absent-minded. He glanced over and asked, "Longma, do you have any good ideas to deal with Youhu?"
Torune Aburame was stunned, and then said, "My subordinates don't have any good way to deal with Youhu. Maybe we can put the reason for Shisui's disappearance on his head. Didn't he have a record of repelling Masked Man? Then he can attack Shisui for the power of Mangekyo."
As he talked, Torune Aburame himself felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched.
Youhu defeated Masked Man with the assistance of Yamato, Kakashi and others. Kakashi was The leader of the younger generation in the village, Yamato, and Wood Bloodline who owns First Lord, these two are the main force against Masked Man.
Danzo was very satisfied with Torune Aburame's idea. He nodded and said, "Your idea is good. He wronged Old Man. Old Man must wrong him once. You can go to the village to disperse." Spread rumors, saying that he attacked Shisui, and Youhu also owns a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. He is the core figure of Uchiha lurking around Third Hokage."
Torune Aburame was speechless for a moment. He felt that Danzo's imagination was a bit too rich.
It is good for Youhu to have a strength close to that of Jonin at this age, but after owning a pair of Mangekyo, is it a bit too much to attack Shisui? Who would believe such rumors?
He complained like this in his mind, but in reality Torune Aburame replied honestly, "Yes, I will arrange for people to spread rumors."
Just as Torune Aburame was about to leave, Danzo reached out and stopped him, frowning and said, "By the way, where is Itachi going? So many things have happened to Uchiha in the past two days, why didn't you see him come to report?"
Torune Aburame thought for a moment and said, "Itachi seems to be on sick leave these days. He occasionally shows up a few times, either observing Sasuke at Ninja School, or wandering around Hero Cemetery. He doesn't seem too concerned about the disappearance of Shisui."
"Uchiha really has a cold nature and doesn't care about the disappearance of his friends--"
Danzo snorted coldly, then seemed to think of something, and said, "Old Man seems to know that Shisui is not dead, so he looks so calm. Shisui actually placed Itachi in Old Man's Root Ninja. I really underestimated him before."
After saying this, Danzo signaled Torune Aburame to complete the task.
Torune Aburame breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know how many times he was called back by Danzo before going out, and now he could finally go on the mission.
However, just when Torune Aburame thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, a hurried Anbu Ninja rushed in from outside.
After seeing Danzo and Torune Aburame, he almost couldn't breathe and said, "Danzo, the guards at the door and the patrol team were all knocked unconscious and left on the roadside. Someone broke into our base."
As soon as these words came out, Danzo and Torune Aburame's expressions immediately became solemn, and their brains began to work rapidly, thinking about who would break into the Root Organization base.
The Root Organization base is extremely secretive. Even if the enemy comes to the city and destroys the entire Konoha, Root Organization will still be safe and sound.
Therefore, Ninja who invaded Root Organization base cannot be the enemy, but can only be Ninja inside Konohagakure.
The first person Danzo thought of was Third Hokage. Third Hokage led a large number of Anbu to break into Root Ninja for the sake of Kakashi and asked him to hand over Kakashi and Yamato.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi has temporarily revoked his identity as Root Organization Leader, so there is no need to deliberately come here again.
The second possibility is that Orochimaru returned to Konoha and wanted to meet his former boss. With Orochimaru's understanding of the village and the Root Organization base, breaking into the base was easy.
But the problem is that he has always been in contact with Orochimaru, and Orochimaru also planted spies in the village.
More importantly, Orochimaru will not risk his life by breaking into the base alone and come to discuss cooperation with him. They only need to agree on a place in advance.
Before Danzo could think about the identity of the intruder, Torune Aburame had already seen the appearance of the intruder. They were Youhu and Jiraiya.
After being determined to avenge Shisui, Youhu took off his mask and revealed his true face, staring at Danzo in the distance with murderous intent, and shouted angrily, "Danzo, hand over Brother Shisui or die!"
Danzo didn't even look at Youhu, but went straight to Jiraiya and asked, "Jiraiya, I need an explanation, why did you bring Uchiha Youhu into Root Organization of Old Man."
Jiraiya himself was dissatisfied with Danzo's attack on his companions. When he heard Danzo questioning him, his face became ugly and he asked, "Elder Danzo, what is your Root Organization? I remember Root Organization is Anbu Training Class is the department directly under Third Hokage Teacher Sarutobi. As a disciple of the teacher, why can't I let Root Organization take a look?"
After hearing Third Hokage's words, Danzo became stressed, and his face suddenly turned gloomy. "Jiraiya, if you don't give me an explanation for what happened today, even if the trouble goes to Sarutobi, I will stay with you until the end.
Youhu stopped in front of Danzo and said to Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, there is no need to talk nonsense with Danzo. Let's break his hands and feet together. I don't believe that he won't tell the whereabouts of Shisui."
Before he finished speaking, Youhu rushed towards Danzo with his sword.
Danzo stood there without any movement, but Torune Aburame on the side moved, covering his hands with hard beetles, blocking Youhu's slash, but his body was smashed into the wall due to the huge force.
After getting up from the wall, Torune Aburame wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes under his sunglasses were a little more proud.
While he blocked Youhu's slashing attack, he left poisonous insects on Youhu's weapon that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye. As long as they get into Youhu's body, Youhu will be poisoned and injured no matter how strong it is.
However, Torune Aburame's little trick could not escape Youhu's eyes. He Hand Seals shouted with one hand, "Fire Style·The fire is extinguished!"
I saw Youhu spitting out blazing flames and shooting towards the sword in his hand.
Under the influence of high temperature, the sword quickly burned red, and the insects hidden on it turned into ashes in an instant.
Youhu didn't mind that his hands were too hot. A Body Flicker Technique came in front of Torune Aburame. Under the influence of the enchanted long sword, the hard beetle could no longer provide defense, and it scratched Torune Aburame's arm, leaving a trace of burns.
The next second, Youhu directly used Sharingan Illusion Technique on Torune Aburame.
Soon, Torune Aburame's five senses were manipulated, and his body fell limply to the ground, temporarily losing his ability to fight.
Seeing Youhu easily defeating Torune Aburame, Danzo could no longer remain calm and was secretly shocked. "Isn't Youhu a Chunin? How can he be so powerful in combat?"
Danzo knew about Youhu's record, but he thought it was with the help of others. He did not expect that Youhu really had the strength and could easily defeat his strongest subordinate.
The most important thing is that Youhu defeated Torune Aburame by relying on speed, strength and enemy strategy, not the super-standard power of Mangekyō Sharingan.
In other words, Youhu is a real genius. If he continues to grow up smoothly, he might be another Uchiha Madara.
Thinking of this, Danzo became murderous towards Youhu.
Uchiha has Shisui behind the scenes, and there are also Fugaku, Tiehuo and other powerful Jonin. Their strength can already benchmark the entire Anbu.
If another genius comparable to Uchiha Madara appears, the balance of power between Hokage Faction and Uchiha will change.
Hokage Faction's power will also be usurped step by step by Uchiha. This is the worst situation that neither he nor Teacher Tobirama, who is the spirit in heaven, wants to see.
But the problem is that it is difficult for him to attack Youhu when Jiraiya is nearby.
At this time, Youhu, who defeated Torune Aburame, walked towards Danzo with a flaming sword, pointed at the latter and said, "Danzo, your subordinates have been defeated by me, why don't you consider handing over Brother Shisui? Then I can only take action against you."
"Shisui is not here with me!"
Danzo looked at Youhu coldly, remembering the rumors he had previously ordered Ryoma to spread, and asked, "You should know the whereabouts of Shisui. You have such strength, isn't it just because you got Mangekyō Sharingan from Shisui, otherwise how could you, a little Chunin, have such strength."
A trace of surprise flashed in Youhu's eyes, secretly wondering if Danzo had open eyes, how did he know that he had attacked Shisui.
But then I thought about it, Danzo is also a master of spewing dirty water. White Fang committed suicide and Uchiha was slandered and related to Nine-Tails Night. They were all the work of Danzo.
Danzo also did something to make Nonō and Kabuto Yakushi kill each other, which indirectly made Kabuto Yakushi black and detonated Fourth Great Ninja War.
"I took Mangekyō Sharingan from Brother Shisui? How did you know that I took Brother Shisui Mangekyō Sharingan?"
"I not only want to take Mangekyo from Brother Shisui, I also want to destroy Root Organization today, expose the bad things you have done over the years, and drag you out into the sun."
Youhu nodded and admitted.
Danzo was also shocked that Youhu admitted to taking away Shisui Mangekyo. Is it really what he imagined? This incident was not directed and performed by Shisui. The real mastermind behind the scenes is Uchiha Youhu?
Thinking of this, Danzo said to Jiraiya, "Jiraiya, Youhu has admitted that he was responsible for the disappearance, and the matter has been resolved. Before Sarutobi can deal with it, let's lock him up in Root Prison."
Jiraiya looked at Danzo as if he were a fool. Instead of being angry, he smiled and said, "Elder Danzo, are you too old to understand Youhu's angry words? The night Shisui disappeared, Youhu and I, Kakashi Naruto are having dinner together, am I also involved in the attack on Shisui?"
"So, you are deliberately protecting Uchiha Youhu?"
Of course Danzo knew that what Youhu said was angry, but at this moment it was true. He had to take this opportunity to kill Youhu and could not let Youhu stay in Konoha.
At this time, Youhu moved, Body Flicker Technique disappeared in place, came to Danzo, and stabbed straight down with the long sword.
Before becoming Root Organization Leader, Danzo was also a battle-hardened Ninja. He sideways dodged and easily avoided the Youhu attack, then Hand Seals with both hands, shouted, "Wind Style·Vacuum Wave!"
During Setsuna, a Wind Blade spit out from Danzo's mouth, and the extremely sharp Wind Blade turned into an invisible sickle, cutting towards the location of Youhu.
Bang bang!
Along with the sound of Wind Blade cutting the rock, deep marks appeared on the rock wall in the channel.
Youhu knows that Danzo is Ninja who is the culmination of Wind Style. Ninja World cannot find a Wind Style who is stronger than him. Ninja, Old Man's Wind Style can break through Susanoo's defense.
He used Body Flicker Technique to constantly dodge in the narrow passage. While avoiding Wind Blade, he was also trying to get close to Danzo again and regain the rhythm of the battle.
Seeing that the ordinary Wind Style cannot take down Youhu, the damage caused by Wind Style to Underground Passage also puts this place at risk of collapse.
Danzo, who did not want to die with Youhu, used Wind Style to force Youhu back and ran straight towards the outside of the base. Youhu was not in a hurry and followed Danzo silently.
It is actually not difficult for him to kill Danzo. He only needs to use Mangekyo and Wood Style.
But what he really wants to do is to discredit Danzo, let Danzo take the initiative to escape from Konoha, and become a rebellious nin with a "bright future".
After reaching the ground, Danzo breathed a sigh of relief. He could finally use Wind Style without any scruples.
After using Storage Scroll to take out the specially made Kunai and Shuriken, Danzo injected Wind Style Chakra into Kunai, quickly forming a sharp long sword.
A clang!
Danzo blocked Youhu's slashing attack. Under the influence of Wind Style, cracks appeared on the blade of the long sword in Youhu's hand. It was estimated that it would be scrapped within a few attacks.
"The standard weapons issued by Anbu are of poor quality--"
Youhu dropped the long sword with some disgust, and then took out a few Kunai and threw them at Danzo. There were pieces of slightly shiny Explosive Tag tied above Kunai, which exploded the moment they approached Danzo.
Before the dust raised by the explosion dispersed, Youhu had already completed Fire Style Hand Seals, and shouted, "Fire Style·The fire is extinguished!"
In an instant, a torrent of flames spit out from Youhu's mouth and swept towards the location of Danzo like a tide. The powerful Kakkō immediately illuminated the nearby forest.
Danzo in the flames kept dodging, but he did not dare to use Wind Style to expand the fire, so he could only keep running away in the forest.
He didn't expect that Youhu, in addition to Taijutsu and Illusion Technique, Fire Style would be so powerful. A Fire Style of this size often requires a team of Ninja to use it at the same time to make it.
Except that there is no Mangekyō Sharingan, what is the difference between Youhu and Uchiha Madara?
What Danzo didn't know was that when Root Organization was underground, the small space limited Danzo's performance, but it didn't limit Youhu's performance.
This is the power of numbers.
A-level Chakra represents Jonin, and S-level is already in the category of Senju and Uzumaki. Although it is not as good as the recovery ability of Tailed Beast, it can be comparable to it in a short time.
Jiraiya was also secretly shocked when he saw this scene, secretly saying that he still underestimated Youhu's strength.
However, he did not stop Youhu. Although Youhu seemed to have suppressed Danzo, as time went by, he would gradually fall into a disadvantage, and then he would stop Danzo.
The reason he came with Youhu this time was to protect Youhu and prevent the future Son of Destruction from going dark.
"Wind Style·Shuriken!"
"Wind Style·Vacuum combo!"
After escaping from the range of Fire Style, Danzo also started to counterattack. A series of Wind Style Ninjutsu poured out, and it unexpectedly regained the initiative.
After narrowly escaping the attacks of Wind Style and Shuriken, Youhu began to run away.
Danzo is becoming more and more excited. He must kill Uchiha Youhu today. The reason for killing Uchiha Youhu is also very simple. Attacking Elder Advisor is a serious crime.
Even if Hiruzen takes care of Youhu, he will not tolerate this kind of behavior that breaks the rules and has no Will of Fire.
However, just when Danzo was chasing Youhu, Third Hokage, led by Kakashi, hurried over and happened to see Danzo chasing Youhu.
After Youhu saw Third Hokage, it was like seeing Savior, Body Flicker Technique was close to Third Hokage, said with an aggrieved look, "Third Lord, I found that Danzo was doing Wood Style Experiment in secret, and also collected a lot of Sharingan.
"After I was discovered, Danzo planted the charge of attacking Brother Shisui and wanted to kill me and silence me."
