The Root ninja leading the way was startled by Ye Fan's words and hurriedly explained:
"My lord Danzo, we never said anything like that!"
Shimura Danzō shot the two men a sidelong glance but said nothing.
However, an icy aura seeped from his body.
"Kid, you actually dared to slander us!"
The two Root ninjas glared at Ye Fan as though they wanted to devour him alive.
Ye Fan merely smiled faintly. "So I misheard. It seems Lord Danzo has no need for a 'Divine Elixir,' then!"
The expressionless Shimura Danzō spoke. "Did you bring that kind of 'Divine Elixir'?"
After learning that Hiruzen Sarutobi had regained his youthful appearance by taking a "Divine Elixir," he had begun coveting the one in Ye Fan's possession.
No matter what, he did not want to lose to Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"I like to keep valuable things on me," Ye Fan said with a smile.
Shimura Danzō's shadowy eyes stared at Ye Fan, as if he wanted to search every inch of him.
"Let me see what this 'Divine Elixir' looks like."
Shimura Danzō used his habitual gloomy expression to conceal the greed in his heart.
A "Divine Elixir" capable of restoring youth was something he had to obtain, no matter the cost.
"That won't do!" Ye Fan refused directly. "Once the Divine Elixir is taken out, it has to be consumed quickly. Otherwise, its potency will be greatly reduced."
"Was the pill Hiruzen Sarutobi took given to him by you?"
Shimura Danzō was in no hurry. Now that they were here, everything was under his control.
"The pill was mine, but I wasn't the one who gave it to him!"
The atmosphere fell awkwardly silent for a moment.
Shimura Danzō said nothing further and simply scrutinized Ye Fan.
"You locked up Izumi Uchiha?"
