Unexpected

When Aburame Ryoma heard that Danzo had dispatched Red Moon, the Root's top ninja, his tone immediately relaxed, as if Red Moon were God of Shinobi.

" With Red Moon taking action, everything will be foolproof, but before that, we need to assess the sincerity of that Uchiha. He wants to become the Uchiha clan leader; he can't just rely on the power of our Root."

Danzo didn't want to discuss Red Moon's words anymore, but was wary of the Uchiha who was seeking cooperation.

"Hehe, with Red Moon's involvement, this operation is already foolproof. Plus, with an inside agent that Uchiha Nara would never have expected, Uchiha Nara has no chance of survival."

I never expected the Danzo clan to have a second pair of Mangekyō Sharingan. Uchiha, aren't you tempted by his eyes?

"I'm tempted, but using this person to control the Uchiha is more important. He was the clan leader's bodyguard, yet he plotted to murder the Uchiha leader."

As the clan leader's elite bodyguard, he has a significant advantage in the race to become the Uchiha leader after Uchiha Nara's death. With our support, his becoming the Uchiha leader is virtually a certainty.

Furthermore, once he becomes the leader, he can only survive by relying on us. As long as we preserve evidence of his Uchiha Nara, this Uchiha will only become my pawn."

Danzo finished speaking, he touched his right eye socket, which was wrapped in bandages.

My power will only grow stronger if more Uchiha are sacrificed...

"Danzo, the target has reached the ambush location. Shall we order the operation?"

A ninja wearing a peculiar helmet with black lines connecting it to a strange device loudly requested permission.

"Order to proceed!"

Upon hearing the report, Danzo loudly issued an order.

"First Squad, move out!"

"Second Squadron, move out!"

"Third Squadron, move out!"

"Fourth Squadron, move out!"

Four root members connected to the special device quickly relayed the order loudly. Ripples spread from the strange mechanical sphere in the center.

At the same time, the crystal ball on Shimura Danzō's desk emitted a faint ripple of light, and after the ripple, the crystal ball reflected Uchiha Nara's current condition.

Naraku was running across the plain with Uchiha Zensui beside him, surrounded by Special Police Division squads in all directions, each three kilometers away from Naraku.

The Chakra Armor technology of the Yuho City has been developed to the Third Hokage, and the ones sold outside are all first-generation products, while the Special Police Division officers of the Naraku Guard wear the latest models.

It can break through Genjutsu, amplify Ninjutsu and power, and create Chakra shield to protect itself; it has many functions.

Even ordinary wandering ninjas can fight alongside ninjas from major nations once they don this Chakra Armor. Chakra Armor, as a ninja tool, is actually more effective against highly skilled ninjas.

Naraku along, sensing the surroundings every five minutes, but found nothing.

"I've been brazenly setting off from the Konoha Gate for half a day now, isn't it about time I made my move?"

Naraku's sensory Ninjutsu detects souls. He sensed quite a few souls in villages within his range, but none in nearby areas.

"Does he intend to wait until I finish my audience with the Daimyo in the Capital City and return home before making his move?"

Naraku entertained this thought, a sudden sense of danger arose in his heart.

The land in front turned into dense paper, with the word "Explosion" written on it.

"Danger!"

Naraku a soft shout, reminding Uchiha Zensui beside him. He gathered Chakra in his feet, took a step forward, and with a powerful push, flew into the sky.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted from the arena, sending mushroom clouds soaring into the sky. Simultaneously, in the area where Naraku located, a series of loud explosions also erupted, sending up multiple mushroom clouds.

"Four Violet Flames Formation!"

Several ninjas dressed in black robes and wearing demon masks appeared from the ground in the east, west, south, and north, quickly arriving at the area of the explosion and using Ninjutsu to set up a barrier.

"Ahem. Naraku, are you alright?"

Uchiha Zensui's face was blackened by the smoke from the explosion. After landing, he approached Naraku and called out to him.

"It's alright, just be careful."

As the smoke cleared, Naraku looked at the Four Violet Flames Formation that had surrounded him, and the black-clad, demon-faced ninjas that appeared one after another outside the barrier.

"Nine ninjas dare to ambush me?"

A question arose in Naraku's mind. At the same time, he was somewhat surprised that he hadn't sensed them.

Naraku guessed that it was probably hidden underground, using the earth to evade detection.

Four ninjas Hand Seals at the four corners of the sky, maintaining the Four Violet Flames Formation, enveloping Naraku within the barrier, while the four of them remained outside the barrier.

"Set up another Four Violet Flames Formation."

Five masked ninjas appeared later, one of whom seemed to be the leader, giving orders in a serious, magnetic voice.

"Hi" X4

The other four responded to the command and quickly ran to the four corners of the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest, facing away from Naraku and Hand Seals with their hands facing outwards.

"Four Violet Flames Formation!"

The two layers of the Four Violet Flames Formation: the first layer trapped Naraku and his companion, while the second layer extended outwards, protecting the nine of them within the gap between the two layers of the Four Violet Flames Formation.

Naraku took out a handkerchief and wiped his face, which was blackened by the smoke, and quietly watched the others' actions.

Nine people, eight of whom maintained the Four Violet Flames Formation, the remaining one should be his opponent.

Naraku stared intently at the Masked Ninja who seemed to be the leader, wondering how he would get in from outside the Four Violet Flames Formation.

"You're just surrounding me? Aren't you going to come in and kill me?"

After wiping the dust off his face, Naraku tossed aside the handkerchief and asked the man in confusion.

The ninja who seemed to be the leader stood with his arms crossed, silently watching the scene.

Even with the mask on, Naraku could sense that this person was icy and ruthless.

Naraku. "That's right, Root's style."

Pfft!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Naraku his right hand into a palm, gathered Chakra, and slashed backward.

The person behind him, having failed in his attack, gripped his Ninja Sword and leaped backward to dodge Naraku's counterattack.

Naraku watched as the person behind him left his attack range, then covered the left side of his cheek with his left hand.

Just now, a knife was stabbed from behind, aimed straight at the back of Naraku's head. If Naraku hadn't dodged it by tilting his head at the last moment, the knife would probably Naraku through his skull.

Even though Naraku dodged in time, his left cheek and ear were still severed by the long sword with the Chidori Blade attached.

A green light flashed in Naraku's left hand, healing the mangled flesh on his left cheek.

"Why?"

Naraku had half of his left side skin and flesh cut off, exposing his left teeth. His bloodied face showed shock and anger as he questioned the person behind him in a deep voice.

"Lord Naraku, you are no longer suitable to be the leader of the Uchiha. I should be the leader of the Uchiha."

Uchiha Zensui shook his long sword, peeling off half of Naraku's face and flesh from it, and replied in a deep voice.

"Is this your reason for betraying me?"

Naraku winced in pain; the Mystical Palm Technique was rather slow to heal such injuries.

"Yes, Ruofeng and Inabi possess the Mangekyō Sharingan, the time for the Uchiha to rise has arrived."

Clan Chief! Your eyes are no longer fit to be the leader of the Uchiha. Please die here!

I will complete what you left unfinished, and I will do it even better!
