Capture

"Danzo-sama, we have successfully withdrawn."

The speed of the ninjas was very fast. After the order was given, in less than five minutes, the entire ninja team on Si Ming Mountain had dispersed towards the other peaks.

Danzo nodded. With his speed, he didn't need to withdraw in advance like the others.

"Pass down the order to prepare for battle. Once the terrain of Si Ming Mountain suffers a huge blow, everyone will immediately attack towards the Cloud Ninja side."

Danzo issued another order. After the other side launched the Tailed Beast Ball, they would definitely take advantage of the chaos to gather their forces and attack.

What Danzo had to do was to launch an attack before the other side issued the attack order, taking the initiative.

"Yes."

Ryoma nodded and flashed away again.

At this time, in the Cloud Village team, everyone was staring at Yugito, who was emitting a powerful aura in front of the team.

Covered in deep red Tailed Beast Chakra, Yugito's eyes had also turned into scarlet beast pupils, and she looked like a red wildcat, with a tail swaying unconsciously behind her.

"She seems to have a stronger aura than Killer Bee-sama!"

"I heard that as long as you can control a Tailed Beast, your strength will at least be at the Jonin level."

"The pain of a Jinchuriki is not as simple as you think."

The others around were talking quietly and enviously, looking at Yugito.

They didn't know the status of Jinchuriki in other villages, but in the Cloud Village, which valued strength, Jinchuriki were still loved by the villagers as long as they could control the power of the Tailed Beast.

While they were talking, a small Tailed Beast Ball had already condensed in front of Yugito.

Mixed with various colors in the black, this Tailed Beast Ball was not big, but it exuded a frightening aura.

"That's enough. After all, this is our Land of Lightning. Don't cause too much damage." Seeing that Yugito was still continuing to condense, Darui couldn't help but remind her.

It had been a while, and not to mention the power, just the length of time and the commotion, Konoha should have noticed it.

If they waited any longer, the other side would run away.

Danzo's figure flashed quickly towards the location of the Cloud Ninja, and behind him, many Root followed closely.

The outbreak of this war was faster than he had imagined. Yugito was still exposed to everyone's sight, and Uchiha Fugaku's move would also be advanced.

He needed to rush to the front to help as soon as possible.

Hiss——

A harsh roar came from Yugito's mouth, and in front of her, the black Tailed Beast Ball exuding a powerful aura quickly shot towards Si Ming Mountain.

Boom!

After a huge noise, Si Ming Mountain was like an iron tower stacked with playing cards, easily collapsed by this powerful force.

"Tailed Beast!"

The Konoha ninja widened his eyes and looked at the location of Si Ming Mountain. Having experienced the Nine Tails Rebellion, he knew very well that what had just flown over was the Tailed Beast Ball that only Tailed Beasts could use.

"Cloud Village used a Tailed Beast!"

"They must be crazy! Don't they know that Jinchuriki are indiscriminate?"

"Our Fourth Hokage is already dead, who in Konoha can withstand a Tailed Beast!"

As Danzo had predicted, a single Tailed Beast Ball caused an uproar in the entire Konoha team, slowing many people's pace and stiffening their expressions.

Danzo continued to flash towards the Cloud Ninja's position without changing his expression, admitting this was a miscalculation on his part.

He hadn't expected the Cloud Ninja to expose the Tailed Beast so early, directly bombarding Si Ming Mountain from a distance, disregarding the villagers from their own village who were prisoners on the mountain.

This Darui is truly cold-hearted. In the original story, he seemed lazy and disorganized, but he's ruthless when he turns his back.

Although he couldn't see the enemy's team, Danzo had already guessed that their leader was Darui, the Raikage's bodyguard and the future Fifth Raikage.

Darui is not only from the Yotsuki clan but also someone highly valued by the Fourth Raikage. In the Cloud Ninja's data, no one is more qualified to command than him.

"Danzo-sama!"

Fugaku, who had been hiding in the shadows, accumulating power ever since Yugito revealed her Jinchuriki identity, preparing to burst out and capture her for sealing, was held back by Danzo.

The others were also surprised that Danzo had rushed to the front.

"The rest of you, do your best to entangle the other Cloud Ninja besides the Jinchuriki. Fugaku, Kakashi, and I will be responsible for sealing the Tailed Beast. Later, I will take the lead. I will find a way to lure the Jinchuriki to this location. Fugaku, use your Susanoo to restrain her immediately, and Kakashi will perform the sealing." Danzo's speech was fast, but his words were clearly conveyed to everyone's ears.

Yugito's Tailed Beast transformation was already complete, and both her speed and strength had been enhanced to a certain extent. Fugaku alone couldn't suppress Yugito.

His Susanoo was too slow.

"Understood!"

Everyone nodded, with no objections.

"Action!"

With a clear plan, Danzo immediately began the operation.

At the moment he said these two words, Danzo felt as if he had returned to modern times, alongside his comrades, teetering on the edge of life and death.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

Many figures jumped out from all directions, attacking the central Cloud Ninja team.

"Enemy attack!"

The moment the Konoha ninjas appeared, Darui's pupils contracted, and he roared, relaying the message to everyone in the team.

He really didn't expect Konoha's actions to be so fast. It seemed they had not only anticipated their use of the Tailed Beast but had also made arrangements in advance.

However, what he didn't know was that, apart from those who had already been lying in ambush, most of the people here were Root ninjas who had just sprinted all the way with Danzo.

And the main force of Konoha was still in the rear, rushing towards this place at full speed.

Covered in deep blue Chakra, Darui's already restless heart instantly erupted. He had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Like a swift cheetah, Darui weaved through the battlefield, reaping lives one after another.

Samui, Yugito, and the other Jonin were also fighting fiercely. After discovering that there were no main forces among the opponents, the entire battlefield was divided into several sections.

This was sacrificing lives to attract firepower, but after Danzo gave the order, no one hesitated.

This was the Root left behind by the original body, a Root that was only loyal to him.

Feigning ignorance as a Chunin, Danzo's youthful face was unremarkable on this battlefield. Being handsome wouldn't make the enemy lay down their butcher knives.

Slowly fighting his way into Yugito's battle circle, Danzo casually killed several Cloud Ninja who fearlessly approached him. As he got closer, the violent Chakra emanating from Yugito was clearly perceived by Danzo.

"Sprint!"

A fierce glint flashed in Danzo's eyes. The instant he activated the skill, his speed increased to the extreme, like a shadow rapidly darting towards Yugito.

Clang!

The sound of metal colliding. Although Danzo's speed was very fast, Yugito, already entering Tailed Beast transformation and significantly enhanced in speed and strength, was fully capable of reacting.

His longsword was blocked by sharp cat claws.
