Voices and sentences resounded from every corner of the hall, like sparks igniting a prairie fire, instantly igniting everyone's fighting spirit. At this moment, the former members of the "root" department expressed their surrender and loyalty to their new minister in an unprecedented manner.
Senju Chen looked at the scene in front of him, and the corner of his mouth curled up with an imperceptible arc.
"Very good." He said solemnly.
He turned to Kabuto Yakushi "Kabuto, you announce the pursuit plan."
Kabuto Yakushi understood, and immediately took a step forward, adjusted his glasses, and said in a steady and clear voice, "Based on the Minister's prediction of Shimura Danzō's escape route, we have formulated three sets of pursuit plans. Three elite teams are now selected to set off immediately to pursue Danzo's possible escape route!"
"Team 1!" Kabuto Yakushi pointed to the left side of the hall, "Led by Elite Jonin, 'Shadow Bat', responsible for the search on the eastern border of Land of Fire! Focus on the area bordering Iwagakure!"
A ninja with a lean body and a restrained aura immediately stepped out of the queue, knelt on one knee, and responded in a deep voice, "Shadow Bat takes the order!"
"Second Team!" Kabuto Yakushi pointed to the right, "Led by perceptive Jonin, 'Night Owl', responsible for the search on the northern border of Land of Fire! Pay attention to the mountainous area bordering Kumogakure!"
Another tall ninja with sharp eyes came out and said in a loud voice, "Night Owl take orders!"
"Team 3!" Kabuto Yakushi pointed to the center, "Led by 'Steel Fist', responsible for searching the southern border of Land of Fire! Pay attention to the coastline bordering Land of Water and possible ships!"
A muscular and imposing ninja strode out, knelt down and took the order, "Steel Fist takes the order!"
"The three teams tracked Shimura Danzō's possible escape route as quickly as possible." Senju Chen added, "Even if they cannot capture him, we must let Shimura Danzō know that Konoha's pursuers will follow him everywhere and will never stop!"
"Kabuto, you immediately make arrangements to completely replace the codes and secret codes of the original 'root' intelligence network!" Senju Chen looked at Kabuto Yakushi again.
"Yes! Sir!" Kabuto Yakushi also reacted. "I will immediately activate the backup plan and use the secret words and connection methods you provided to completely replace all the original passwords, passwords, contact frequencies and contact person identities!"
"I want to make sure that from now on, the intelligence network Shimura Danzō has set up in Shinobi World is transparent to us, but a complete blind spot to him! Shimura Danzō will never want to use any of the old channels for communication and deployment! I want him to become a real loner and lose all his eyes and ears!"
"Understood!" Kabuto Yakushi adjusted his glasses, his eyes shining with excitement behind the lenses.
"Three pursuit teams, set off immediately!" Senju Chen waved his hand and issued the order, "Kabuto, you also go to replace the intelligence network immediately!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Hiruzen Sarutobi! You old hypocrite!" Looking at the Land of Fire border that was about to arrive in front of him, Danzo still couldn't help but cursed.
Although he had been scolding him all the way, he still couldn't swallow it in his heart. He was not convinced.
He escaped, escaped from the village he had guarded for half his life.
He has been planning for half his life, enduring for half his life, burying himself in darkness, just to one day be able to sit on the position that symbolizes the highest power. He calls himself the staunchest guardian of Konoha and the successor to Second Hokage is a strong-willed man. How much dirty and dirty work has he done? How much infamy has he been saddled with? He is willing to do whatever it takes, just to keep the big tree Konoha standing in troubled times!
However, Hiruzen Sarutobi! That old monkey who has been fighting with him all his life, that weak Hokage who only talks about benevolence, justice and morality, has blocked him time and time again, suppressed him, and even discarded him like garbage at the last moment!
"And Senju Chen!" Danzo's one eye was bloodshot with anger, and the excessively calm face of Senju Chen appeared in his mind.
That kid, like a poisonous snake lurking under the water, quietly messed up all his plans!
From the beginning of "Senju Clan's neutrality" during the election of Fourth Hokage, to later the "coincidence" of the timing of Orochimaru was exposed, to Night of the Nine-Tails's carefully planned "framing" was completely shattered by that kid with an upright conspiracy!
"Senju Clan actually wants to join forces with the Uchiha Clan. It's so stupid!" Danzo clenched his fists tightly, and his knuckles turned white from excessive exertion.
He originally wanted to take advantage of Nine-Tails's riot and let Root take advantage of the chaos to assassinate some disobedient village senior officials, and then pour dirty water on the Uchiha Clan, completely intensifying the conflict between the village and Uchiha. He would take this opportunity to eliminate dissidents and prepare for his legitimate boarding of Hokage Position in the future.
The result? That Senju Chen actually teamed up with Uchiha Fugaku to place the corpses of those Root ninjas, together with several rescued villagers, directly on the conference table! All human and material evidence were available!
At that moment, he looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes that turned from angry to cold and disappointed, looked at the fear and joy in the eyes of Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, looked at Shikaku Nara's "It's like this" expression...
He Shimura Danzō has paid so much for Hokage Position in his life. From the First Hokage period, he followed Second and witnessed with his own eyes what Konoha The establishment and development of. He watched the weak and incompetent guy Hiruzen Sarutobi step by step on Hokage Position, but he could only live in the shadows forever, doing the "dirty work".
But he firmly believes that only he, Shimura Danzō, can truly lead Konoha to become stronger and realize Second Hokage's "Will of Fire"! Hiruzen Sarutobi's "kindness" will only make Konoha weak, and Minato Namikaze, that young boy, was blinded by his "kindness" education and did not understand the rules of survival in troubled times!
He could even foresee how fragile Konoha would become after Minato Namikaze died! And he, Shimura Danzō, was supposed to be the savior who turned the tide!
But now, he has become a traitor! He has become a shame to Konoha!
"Huh, Konoha? Hiruzen Sarutobi? Senju Chen?" Danzo's eyes flashed with a hint of madness, "Do you think you can defeat me like this? You're so naive!"
"I, Shimura Danzō, will never give up!" He growled through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse and distorted due to suppressed anger.
"Sir, where are we going now?" a Root ninja asked cautiously.
Danzo looked into the distance, piercing through the darkness, seeming to see some distant and dark country.
"Go to Land of Rain!" His voice was low and powerful, with an unquestionable decision.
There is a gray area where Five Great Nations forces intersect, and there is his "backhand".
Although he, Shimura Danzō, was spurned by Konoha, the chess pieces he has laid out in Shinobi World over the years are far more than just a "root"!
"Hiruzen Sarutobi, Senju Chen... Do you think that by driving me out of Konoha, you can completely cut off my foundation?" Danzo's mouth curved into a ferocious arc, full of confidence and arrogance.
"I, Shimura Danzō, have deployed more than 30,000 spies and spies throughout Shinobi World!" His one eye flashed with determination, "That all-pervasive intelligence network all over Shinobi World is my real confidence!"
He once regarded that intelligence network as his most secret and powerful weapon, and would never use it lightly unless absolutely necessary. It was like a giant silent net, covering every corner of Shinobi World, waiting to be activated, waiting to capture prey.
And now, he is forced into a desperate situation. It's time for this net to show its fangs!
"You will understand how fragile and stupid Konoha will be without me, Shimura Danzō!"
Danzo Although his body was injured, his spirit had never been so clear. He felt like a beast that was forced into a desperate situation. Although he was covered in injuries, he was more ferocious and dangerous.
He will use this network to set off huge waves in Shinobi World and make Konoha pay the price! Let Hiruzen Sarutobi and Senju Chen pay a heavy price for their stupidity and arrogance!
