The appearance of Danzo brings a glimmer of hope to the ninjas in chaos.
They seemed to have found a backbone and gathered towards Danzo, seeking guidance and shelter.
Utatane Koharu Although she was a strong person who was not inferior to Kage many years ago, the passage of time has long made her strength no longer what it was before, and now her strength has fallen to the level of an ordinary jounin.
Although he still has prestige, at this life-and-death moment, he can no longer gain the trust of the ninjas.
And Mitokado Homura, after being tortured by Iori's illusion, is now half-dead and unable to assume the heavy responsibility of leadership.
Under such circumstances, it seems that only Shimura Danzō is left with the ability and prestige to lead the ninjas.
Danzo looked around, secretly happy in his heart. He saw the predicament in front of him, but he also saw the opportunities after overcoming the difficulties.
If he can lead everyone through this disaster, then they will definitely be inclined to him, and their rights can be expanded naturally.
Looking at the ninjas, he cleared his throat and said loudly, "What were you doing before? Did you see any signs before coming to this space?"
Everyone answered in a variety of ways, only saying that they were hiding at home and did not go out. They only felt that the world changed for a while, and then they appeared in this strange place.
Danzo patiently collected information, his brows furrowed as he thought about the ins and outs of it all.
He found that the ninjas trapped here were all from Root, Shimura Clan, Utatane Clan, Mitokado Clan and Sarutobi Clan, and they were all ninjas far away from the battlefield.
Those Sarutobi Clan ninjas who went to the battlefield were not involved in this space.
Danzo tapped the cane in his hand, focusing the ninjas' attention on him.
"Don't panic. The enemy's strength is probably not particularly strong. He doesn't dare to capture those Jōnin fighting on the front lines. He only dares to capture lone ninjas, as evidenced by this."
Danzo said with confidence, but then someone raised a question, "What about elder Danzo and your Root? Aren't you the masters of jounin and Special Jōnin?"
"That was his mistake. He probably thought that the ninjas who had not gone to the battlefield at this time would not be very strong, but he didn't know that I did not go to the front line just because I was afraid of enemy attacks."
"Under these circumstances, he made a mistake and brought me here."
"Otherwise, you see, why are there not many jounin besides us? If they are strong enough, capturing the jounin on the front line will not only greatly weaken the power of Konoha."
"It can also help Nine-Tails get out of trouble. Only his lack of hard power will lead to the current situation."
While they were talking, time was slowly passing by, and the undead in the distance had already taken shape. Seeing this, Iori no longer waited and walked out of the shadow of the prison.
Click, click, click, and with the sound of footsteps, Iori walked from the corridor of the prison to the front of the stage.
"Are you all ready to accept the trial?" Iori said calmly.
"Who are you? Why did you bring us here? Did you release Nine-Tails?" Danzo asked loudly.
While he was talking, he gave a few gestures to the Root ninja behind his back.
Root Ninja understood and sneaked into the crowd quietly, heading towards Iori's position.
Iori was on the high platform, having a panoramic view of every move of the Danzo and Root ninjas.
However, he did not take any action and just continued to declare his identity and purpose, "I am an Avenger, Count of Monte Cristo, and I come for revenge."
"The many evil deeds you have committed relying on your power and status will be liquidated here!"
Just before Iori finished speaking, the lurking Root ninja suddenly emerged from the shadows and rushed toward him.
Iori looked on coldly, without a trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he had foreseen all this.
The moment they broke away from the crowd, several undead flew out of the darkness, full of resentment, and bumped into them.
The moment they came into contact with the undead, the Root ninja's bodies instantly stiffened, with expressions of horror and despair on their faces.
The resentment of the undead continues to suck their lives, and their struggle and resistance seem so insignificant in front of this power.
"Since you are so impatient, let the trial begin." Iori said calmly.
As Iori finished speaking, the undead seemed to have received an order and flew out from the dark corner, rushing into the crowd with biting cold wind and ominous shadows.
They began to select targets and launch attacks based on the level of resentment entangled in the ninjas.
"Summoning Technique·Baku." Seeing this, Danzo hurriedly bit his finger and prepared to summon his large psychic beast here to help deal with a large number of enemies.
However, when he released the ninja, his face instantly turned pale, and Summoning Technique actually failed.
Iori on the high platform said calmly, "In this prison, no one can come and go at will, including me."
It was Edmond Dantès who left Château d'If, while Count of Monte Cristo stayed in prison forever.
"Wind Release·Vacuum Great Sphere."
"Wind Release·Vacuum Serial Waves."
"Water Release·Water chaos."
"Fire Release·Flame Bullet."
The ninjas did not give up resistance. They launched attacks against the undead continuously. Wind Release, Water Release, Fire Release, various ninjutsus bloomed dazzlingly in the prison.
But the undead are immortal. Their bodies dissipate instantly after being hit, and then re-condensate not far away.
Until their resentment disappears, they will continue to be resurrected no matter how many times they die.
The attacks of the ninjas were just useless efforts. Every effort they made was simply consuming their own chakra.
Looking at the resisting ninjas, Iori slowly began to read out their crimes.
"Ma, during Danzo's Wood Release experiment, you helped him steal babies from surrounding villages, resulting in the death of fifty-nine babies. Although you are not the mastermind but an accomplice, your resentment does not matter."
"Utatane Fuyu, because you were jealous of your teammates, you refused to save her during a certain mission, leading to her death. However, through the Koharu Clan's power, you avoided investigation and were deemed unable to rescue her."
"Mitokado Hana, you, who work in the administrative department, have plundered a large amount of wealth by withholding pensions. Although you were very careful and did not cause any deaths, the accumulation of resentment is enough to kill you."
"Shimura Jun, relying on the fact that he is the nephew of Shimura Danzō, has taken the credit of his fellow ninjas countless times and been promoted to Special Jōnin. Some ninjas were dissatisfied and wanted to report him, but you silenced him first."
"Sarutobi Xinmiao, taking advantage of the mission, killed many civilian ninjas who were competing for benefits with the Sarutobi Clan."
Iori watched calmly as these people were swallowed up by the resentment of the undead. As time passed, the resistance in the prison gradually weakened, and now only the jounin were still alive.
