"Isn't Danzo getting a little ridiculous?"
"If he survived once, maybe he had some secret technique."
"But if he still won't die, a secret technique that powerful would've spread throughout the Shinobi World by now!"
"How exactly did he avoid the explosion?"
Only then did Tsunade speak. She couldn't figure out what method Danzo had used either.
"He didn't avoid it!"
"There was nowhere for him to escape within that explosion's range!"
"He must have used some special secret technique to nullify the damage!"
"In a thousand years of Ninshu, we've never heard of a secret technique like that!"
The Senju had once been a clan at the height of its power, and they knew their share of secrets.
Yet even they had never heard of such a technique!
Zhou Cheng spoke at just the right moment, steering everyone's speculation.
"Danzo, what's really under those bandages?"
"Your ability to survive must have something to do with whatever's underneath them!"
His words made everyone realize it.
That was right. Danzo hadn't suffered extensive injuries, yet he was wrapped in so many bandages. They had to be connected to the ability he'd just used.
Quite a few people began whispering again.
Zhou Cheng sneered inwardly. Next, they just had to remove the bandages and expose his true colors.
Boom...
A tremendous explosion rang out from outside Root.
Everyone, including Zhou Cheng, jumped.
Why had such a massive explosion gone off inside Konoha?
Was someone attacking Konoha again?
While everyone was speculating, an ANBU member had already arrived beside Tsunade and dropped to one knee.
"Lord Hokage, dozens of shinobi are attacking Konoha's watchtowers."
"Judging by their forehead protectors, they're shinobi from Kirigakure!"
An uproar erupted!
Everyone was stunned by the news.
Kirigakure?
Attacking Konoha?
Zhou Cheng frowned slightly. Kirigakure would attack Konoha?
