With the addition of Kakashi, the plan becomes simpler.
Aoba initially prepared to make his own bait. But there was one problem that could not be solved. That was Danzo was not a lone wolf, he had a large number of subordinates under him.
It is very likely that the other party will not take action themselves, but will send their own subordinates to perform the task.
In order to solve this problem, Aoba took action continuously and killed six elite teams of Root. He just wanted to weaken Root's power and force Danzo to take action.
But this is still not safe, because Root should have more manpower than he saw.
But if Kakashi joins, the certainty will be greater. If the two of them join forces, it is basically impossible for Root to succeed without spending money.
And if the movement is too big, Konoha will be alerted. Although Aoba killed Root in secret. But if Root attacks Aoba and Kakashi, it is impossible to do it openly.
One is that Root has no direct evidence to prove that the murderer is Aoba or Kakashi. The other problem is that Root essentially has no law enforcement power within Konoha.
Yes, the positioning of Root is actually very embarrassing. Because in theory, Root does not exist. This is a department that does dirty work for Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Therefore, in daily Root activities, all ANBU signs are displayed. In most cases, Root's tasks are outside the village.
This is a bit like the cia of later generations inside Konoha. If they don't hang the ANBU sign, any of their actions are theoretically legal.
Under normal circumstances, Danzo relies on the favor of the third generation, so there is no problem. But if he attacks two Konoha's meritorious ninjas in a big way, then Hiruzen will favor Danzo, and he will be severely punished to show it to the major families.
Therefore, both sides acted in tacit secrecy.
Aoba and Kakashi are becoming more and more undisguised. Even when intercepting and killing Root's ninja, Aoba accidentally exposed his signature Kusanagi Sword.
In this way, Danzo directly targeted the two of them. He planned to kill them first and then report them. He would capture them first, torture them severely, collect all the evidence, and then leave Hiruzen Sarutobi speechless.
And since the combat power of Kakashi and Aoba is really too high, Danzo finally decided to lead the team himself, bringing with him a large number of Root experts, preparing to capture these two bold and rebellious ninjas outside Konoha.
Danzo has already classified these two guys as traitorous ninjas. Danzo will not let these two guys live no matter what if they dare to kill those who dare to kill them.
Although Kakashi and Aoba both have great achievements in battle, Danzo is not afraid. He has many trump cards. If it is not possible, he will do it himself. With ten Revival Coin, plus a general plug-in Kotoamatsukami, it is not a piece of cake to defeat these two bastards.
In the jungle north of Konoha, Aoba and Kakashi once again surrounded and killed a team of Root. However, after killing everyone, Aoba noticed something was wrong.
"It's too weak, it must be a trap. It seems like Danzo can't bear it anymore."
"How are your preparations going?"
"Of course I am always ready." Aoba said, and a Kunai in his hand suddenly disappeared.
He used Flying Thunder God and sent back a Kunai. He informed Shadow Clone at home and the Yumi project began.
The next second, there were a lot of footsteps and the sound of breaking through the air. Looking around, there were at least thirty Root ninjas, surrounding the two of them.
"Kakashi, Aoba Kamikawa, you two are so brave. You dared to attack my Root ninja. Now the evidence is conclusive. Follow me back to the village immediately to face trial."
However, Aoba and Kakashi on the opposite side looked at Danzo with strange expressions.
"Excuse me... what is Root. Does Konoha have this department?"
"..." Danzo almost breathed out of anger. The existence of Root is indeed secret. But it is impossible for them Jonin not to know.
He felt uncomfortable because Aoba's question was undoubtedly poking at his lungs. Because Root's name was not justified, and it had always been Danzo's heartache.
Especially in recent years, he wanted to get some good seedlings from the Ninja Academy, but Hiruzen Sarutobi was blocked in every way. These days, he was intercepted and killed by Aoba and Kakashi. Root can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
In a rage, Danzo wanted to shoot Kotoamatsukami directly to Aoba to supplement the lost combat power of Root.
But after thinking about it, I still held back. Mainly because in his eyes, although Aoba has good combat power, it has no special talents. It is not worthy for him to use Kotoamatsukami.
Aoba felt a little guilty. He was even ready Flying Thunder God. As long as Danzo had the intention to take off the bandage, he would directly pull Kakashi out of the way.
Fortunately, Danzo finally endured it.
Aoba will take some time here. The main reason is that it takes a certain amount of time for Hidan to activate Death Controlling Blood. Moreover, at the same time, it is necessary to prepare the seal scroll and ensure that Hidan betrays the water, etc.
All details need to be ensured to be flawless before a fatal blow can be struck. Therefore, Aoba did not rush to take action. Instead, he continued to bullshit the other party.
"Kakashi, you little bastard should have been eradicated back then."
As soon as Danzo opened his mouth, Aoba almost laughed out loud. Danzo's words could be said to have completely made Kakashi determined to kill him.
Because White Fang's death was not caused by Danzo's own hands anyway. Therefore, the identification of responsibility is a bit vague. But Danzo's words directly show that it was me who killed your father. And now I regret not killing you in the first place.
Kakashi Without saying a word, he directly pulled out the short knife on his back.
Aoba thought for a moment and sent a message not to take action for the time being.
Does Kakashi know how to use swordsmanship? There is almost no display in the original work. Mainly because in the later period, swordsmanship has too many limitations. Unless you are swinging a sword in a Gundam, it is basically meaningless.
However, in this time period, swordsmanship is still an extremely practical skill. And Kakashi obviously knows swordsmanship. But after his father died, he basically didn't use it.
But now, having untied his knot, he picked up his father's sword again. Suddenly he transformed into a Kakashi that Aoba had never seen before.
Danzo brought a lot of manpower, and all of them were elite. Basically they were composed of Jonin, Special Jonin, and various special auxiliary ninjas.
And before the war started, they used the Barrier Ninjutsu method to block the surrounding areas. Little did they know, this was exactly what Aoba wanted.
This operation is to kill Danzo. But Aoba has no plans to fall out with Konoha yet. Therefore, this operation cannot be exposed. At least it cannot be exposed openly.
Aoba's initial plan was to kill everyone. Danzo's actions of blocking the surrounding area perfectly fit Aoba's plan.
"Danzo leave it to you, and leave the others to me. Remember our plan, and don't be too harsh."
