Ch. 21Danzo's roar! Root's elites mobilize in full!
After the Uchiha Clan vanished in a massive space-time displacement, Danzo blamed Hiruzen Sarutobi and ordered Root’s elite squads to hunt them down at the Land of Earth’s border. Root then used Uchiha Gen'yō’s residual chakra to track him, launching a pursuit across the Land of Fire.
- Danzo accused Hiruzen Sarutobi of letting a powerful enemy escape and costing Konoha the Uchiha Clan’s Sharingan.
- A Yamanaka ninja reported a huge spatial fluctuation near the Land of Earth’s border, with chakra levels matching the Uchiha Clan.
- Danzo concluded that Uchiha Gen'yō had teleported the clan toward the Land of Earth and ordered Root’s Owl, Crow, and Itachi squads to kill every Uchiha and seize Gen'yō’s eyes.
- A Root ninja revealed that he had locked onto Gen'yō’s residual chakra with the Soul-Devouring Cursed Seal.
- Danzo ordered Root to pursue Gen'yō, beginning a hunt across the Land of Fire.
