Danzo's face darkened at Qingyun's words. His sinister left eye blazed with murderous intent as he stared at Qingyun and waved to the Root Ninja behind him, preparing to order the kill.
Seeing Danzo's gesture, the Root Ninja rapidly circulated their chakra and began forming hand seals.
When Qingyun saw them move, he began circulating his true energy, ready to unleash Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens, cut down the small fry behind Danzo with one stroke, then have a proper fight with Danzo himself.
As for killing Danzo, Qingyun had never considered it. Leaving aside whether he could defeat Danzo in his prime, killing him would certainly make Qingyun a rogue ninja.
And Kushina's status was special. If Qingyun took her with him, Konoha would never let the matter rest. Moreover, although his reputation in the shinobi world had soared thanks to Ōnoki and the Third Kazekage, the bounty on his head at the Underground Bounty Office kept rising as well.
If he left Konoha, he would have to face not only its pursuit, but also harassment from countless Bounty Ninja across the shinobi world. He could handle that himself, but what about Kushina?
So Qingyun had never intended to kill Danzo. Even so, he would not let him off easily.
"Stop! What are you doing? Are you going to start a battle in Konoha and make us a laughingstock for the other villages?"
Just as Qingyun and the Root Ninja were about to clash, Hiruzen Sarutobi's voice suddenly rang out from the distance.
The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated. Danzo waved to the Root Ninja behind him, signaling them to stop. With Hiruzen Sarutobi here, there was no way this battle could proceed. As for Qingyun, he would have to find another opportunity to teach him a lesson.
