Night of Root Extermination - Part 8

"Summoning Technique! Come forth, Baku!"

Bang!

A huge plume of white smoke appeared, and a colossal beast, entirely orange with an elephant-like trunk and sharp claws, appeared in the small square. The Baku's size occupied half of the square.

"Woo!"

The Baku let out a hiss, a roar somewhat similar to that of an elephant.

Having successfully executed the Summoning Technique, Danzo breathed a slight sigh of relief upon seeing his Summoning Beast. He clutched his lower abdomen with his left hand and turned to look at Uchiha Shisui, who was chasing after him on the wooden bridge.

The appearance of the Baku forced Uchiha Shisui to a halt in his sprint, and the fierce chase slowed down slightly.

Call out!

Danzo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, sensed a gust of wind from his left. His body swayed, and his right Wind Blade, propelled by the twisting motion of his Danzo, stabbed towards the left.

Pfft!

Danzo's head flew into the Danzo, his eyes wide and squinting as he tried to see who had attacked him. Uchiha Shisui was right in front of him, Uchiha Itachi was exhausted and had been stabbed by him.

Danzo realized that a third person had appeared in the arena, and that they were reinforcements from the enemy.

Danzo's body fell to the ground with a thud, his head, Danzo in the air with its unseeing eyes, crashing to the ground.

"Woo!"

With a hiss, the Baku unleashed its massive trunk, over ten meters long, which lashed out like the thickest whip at Ruofeng, who was attacking Danzo.

"Snort!"

Ruofeng snorted coldly, widened his Mangekyō Sharingan glowing with an eerie red light as he met Baku's lantern-sized eyes.

The Baku's previously aggressive slamming nose stopped, and its massive body seemed to freeze, as if it had crashed.

Having awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan for many years, Uchiha Ruofeng's control over his eyes far surpasses that of Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.

The basic ability of the Sharingan, the Hypnotic Eye, was used to easily subdue the giant Summoning Beast Baku by amplifying the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

Ruofeng had subdued the Summoning Beast and was about to collect Danzo's corpse to take back and report, he had just turned around...

Puff!

A Kunai pierced through Ruofeng's waist and abdomen. Danzo's figure slowly solidified from the ethereal state, while his left hand swiftly gouged out Ruofeng's eyes.

Just for the occasion

"Such precious power should be used by me!"

Danzo moved swiftly, his eyes cold.

Call out!

Uchiha Shisui was even faster, closing the distance of about ten meters in an instant, and slashed at Danzo's outstretched left hand with his short sword.

Danzo Kunai that pierced Ruofeng's right hand, then quickly withdrew his left hand and retreated. His attempt to Sharingan was stopped by Uchiha Shisui.

It wasn't that Danzo didn't want to exchange his left arm for one of Uchiha Ruofeng's eyes, but rather that Uchiha Ruofeng reacted quickly, moving his head, making it impossible for Danzo to accurately gouge out the eyeball.

The Kunai and severely wounded the enemy, but did not render the enemy unable to defend itself.

Ruofeng was rescued by Shisui, he Kunai out of his abdomen, and shot it at Shimura Danzō, who dodged it by slightly turning his body.

Ruofeng glanced at Danzo and Shisui, then slowly retreated, disappearing into the shadows, preparing to quickly bandage his wounds.

Ruofeng retreated to the edge of the plaza, leaped onto the wall, and stood sideways, his feet gripping the wall. He took out emergency bandages from his medical kit and quickly wrapped them around his waist and abdomen to stop the bleeding.

Bang!

A figure suddenly appeared next to Ruofeng. After appearing abruptly, the figure fell down. The newcomer reacted quickly, reaching out to press against the wall, climbing up, and doing a somersault before landing next to Ruofeng.

This person was wearing a red robe, over which was a white Hokage Haori, with the words "Fourth Hokage" Hokage Haori on the back.

Uchiha Nara looked wary as he was teleported over by the Flying Thunder God Technique. He hadn't expected to be high in the sky, but thankfully he reacted in time and didn't make a fool of himself.

After regaining his Naraku looked around. Beside him was Ruofeng, who looked somewhat surprised. In the small square not far away, Uchiha Shisui and Danzo were exchanging blows, and there was also a huge Summoning Beast nearby.

"Chieftain."

Uchiha Ruofeng carried out the mission he had longed for for many years, and his resentment towards Naraku disappeared.

"Ruofeng."

Naraku and responded softly.

Naraku's mastery of the Flying Thunder God Technique is not yet fully developed. He could originally sense things from a distance, but the Flying Thunder God's mark is blurry, and Naraku always feels a great sense of terror when he activates it.

In the end, he ran from Konoha to this vicinity, and only after sensing the Flying Thunder God Kunai that he had given to Ruofeng did he activate the Flying Thunder God teleportation to enter the arena.

They came from Konoha and also gathered two squadrons of Anbu, totaling more than thirty people, to follow them. The team was lying in ambush outside. These steps took a little time, but it seemed they weren't too late.

Where's Itachi?

Naraku only saw Uchiha Ruofeng and Uchiha Shisui Danzo; he did not see Uchiha Itachi.

"I don't know. Shisui should know that he's supporting Shisui."

In a short while, Ruofeng finished bandaging the wound and answered softly.

Naraku nodded without replying, closed his eyes, clasped his hands together, raised his index and middle fingers, forming a simple mudra, and activated Mind's Eye of the Kagura.

"What is this Chakra?"

In the blink of an eye, Naraku had finished surveying the base. There were only a few clusters of Chakra, indicating that there weren't many people here. Not only did Naraku find Uchiha Itachi in the base, but he also found a very familiar Chakra and soul.

"Orochimaru got involved too?"

Naraku opened his eyes and asked Ruofeng softly beside him.

Orochimaru? I haven't seen him. Is Orochimaru here?

Ruofeng shook his head, indicating that he had not seen Orochimaru, and was somewhat surprised that Naraku had discovered Orochimaru.

"I'm leaving Danzo to you few."

Naraku the instructions softly, forming hand Hand Seals.

"Ninja Art: Camouflage Stealth Technique!"

Naraku's figure rippled and he vanished, using the S-rank Invisibility Technique of Iwagakure.

Naraku in Konoha, frequently held the Chunin Ninja Exams, Genin's battles for advancement, and had long since grown weary of those tedious exams and battles.

Three Uchiha ninjas are ganging Danzo here, what a thrilling scene! Naraku decides to hide and watch the fight, and also see what the sneaky Orochimaru is up to.

The invisible Naraku leaped a few times and arrived at the cave at the highest point of the base. He sat cross-legged and quietly watched the battle between Uchiha Shisui and Danzo below.

Small square

Uchiha Shisui and Danzo were both panting heavily; after a fierce battle, their stamina was severely depleted.

"Woo!"

The Baku beside it regained consciousness, hissed, opened its mouth, and emitted a strong suction force.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!"

Danzo's Sharingan in his right eye helped Baku break free of the control and regain consciousness. After Baku activated its Devouring ability, Baku, facing Baku, quickly Danzo several hand seals and launched a coordinated Ninjutsu.

Baku Uchiha Shisui 'Danzo Baku Danzo Wind Release Ninjutsu became even faster and more powerful.

Shisui was panting heavily, his Chakra almost depleted, and his strength was waning. Despite the raging wind, he stubbornly stood firm, holding his short sword, staring at the approaching Wind Blade.

"Uchiha: Sword Leap Flame!"

Shisui's short sword emitted a red light, and when the Wind Blade approached within two meters of him, he swung the short sword and unleashed a flaming blade.

The power of the Wind Blade, amplified by the accelerated absorption of the Baku, was slightly weakened. However, just two seconds after the Baku unleashed its power, it suddenly became dazed, and its devouring and absorbing actions ceased.

Shisui's flaming blade dispelled the Vacuum Wave, and the flaming blade fiercely rushed towards Danzo. Danzo seemed to be exhausted and was struck by the flaming blade. Blood spurted from his body as a raging fire broke out.

"We succeeded!"

Danzo's figure solidified before Shisui, closing in on Shisui's eyes.

To obtain this extraordinary Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo directly consumed one of his Sharingan to activate Izanagi, paralyzing Shisui.
