Konoha's Clow Magician

Upon hearing this sarcastic call, Danzo's face suddenly turned gloomy. Thinking of Kakuzu who had simply escaped before, he felt something was wrong in his heart.

But before he could ask further questions, Senju Hideki below took advantage of the moment of confrontation to quickly form seals with his hands and shouted: "Wood Release: Thorn Dance!"

In an instant, the surrounding tree trunks and vines sprouted branches and grew crazily under his countless chakra. The surface was even covered with spikes and barbs, and they were beating towards the roots like whips.

clap clap clap...

Even though they had been on guard, several root ninjas were still unable to dodge. The skin and flesh of the whipped people were immediately ripped apart, and they screamed in agony and fell down in the dense forest.

However, the thorns and vines on the ground were unwilling to let go and wrapped around the bodies of the ninjas at the base, and the sharp barbs immediately cut into their flesh and blood.

"Ah ah ah..."

Seeing the tragic scene of flesh and blood flying underneath, Danzo and the remaining root ninjas were all chilled in their hearts. They invariably launched kunai as much as possible in the direction of the enemy, hoping to repeat the same trick and interrupt the opponent's release of ninjutsu.

Senju Hideki smiled slightly, as if he didn't see the kunai flying from all directions. He stood still, but the chakra on his body surged towards the surrounding trees like a flood.

The long whip of thorns dancing in the dense forest suddenly became thicker, and with a series of shrill sounds breaking through the air, it whipped towards the remaining root ninjas.

Snapped……

Snapped……

Another two root ninjas were unable to dodge, and when the long whip came, their flesh and blood flew out, killing them immediately.

Boom boom boom...

On the other side, the detonating talisman carried on the kunai also exploded. Senju Hideki's body was immediately torn apart and turned into wooden debris that was thrown around.

"This is... a clone?"

The surrounding chakra fluctuations gradually subsided, and the thorns and tree trunks in the forest stopped dancing. Danzo fell to the ground, looking around at the flames, branches, wreckage, and the loss of nearly a third of his subordinates, his face suddenly darkened. Go down.

The remaining root ninjas also fell behind Danzo, feeling the cold breath coming from the front, and looked at each other, not knowing what expressions to make.

"Let's go and order the black market men to continue searching for information about 'Senju Hashirama'."

Danzo snorted coldly, "We will also collect information on Kakuzu. It is impossible for two powerful bounty hunters to join together without any special reason."

"Yes"

……

Under the blue sky, white clouds are floating, and a figure is flying freely in the sky, sometimes making an 'S' shape, and sometimes flying out of a 'zig-zag' shape, which is very noisy.

"Now we can calm down for a while."

After receiving the idea of ​​the clone coming back, Senju Hideki smiled, put his arms together and attached himself to his body, and flew towards the direction of Konoha Village at high speed.

The bounty hunter 'Senju Hashirama' has been offline. Danzo, you can just fight with the Akatsuki organization in Kakuzu.

……

Konoha Village, Naruto Room.

The Sandaime Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his pipe and took a puff, then asked: "Are you sure Danzo is not in the village now?"

"Yes! Lord Danzo left Konoha yesterday."

Captain Xiang of the ANBU stepped forward and replied: "Not only that, Danzo-sama's men have also frequently left the village recently. Even the mission of monitoring the Uchiha clan has been stopped one after another. Only a few of them are still pretending."

Sandai frowned and became thoughtful.

Danzo inherited the second-generation Hokage's dislike of Uchiha, and the third generation would naturally not let the other party take the opportunity to stir up trouble. He had already ordered the ANBU to monitor the root of the task of monitoring Uchiha.

The roots reported by Shisui provoked conflicts, and Sandai knew it well. Once the conflict broke out further, he would naturally order the cancellation of the surveillance mission of the roots, and impose a slight punishment to ease the relationship between Uchiha and the village again.

But Danzo's sudden retreat left him a little puzzled.

The third generation pondered for a moment and suddenly asked: "You have been paying attention to Danzo's actions. What are your thoughts on his sudden departure?"

Several ANBU ninjas were silent. Haru, who was wearing a frog mask, suddenly took a step forward and said uncertainly: "Recently, there are rumors on the black market that another powerful Wooden ninja has appeared outside Konoha."

The third generation's face condensed, his eyes fell on Qing, and he said solemnly: "Why didn't you send this news to me before?"

There was a wry smile on Haru's face, "Sir, there are a lot of similar rumors on the black market. Not to mention the Wooden Ninja, there is news that Uchiha Madara has been resurrected. If we don't confirm it clearly, how can we dare to trouble you with it?"

The third generation nodded and did not investigate whether his subordinates were negligent in their duties. He just asked: "When can we confirm it clearly?"

Qing said quickly: "As usual, black market intelligence personnel will deliver news to the village every Friday."

——Today is Wednesday.

The third generation frowned and directly ordered: "Use emergency contact means to confirm the authenticity of this rumor within today."

"Yes!"

Two hours later.

Anbu's Haru team member returned to the Hokage room, put the documents in his hands on the table, and reported: "Hokage-sama, it is confirmed that there is a bounty hunter of the Wooden Ninja in the black market."

The third generation took the document and read it carefully, his face suddenly turned ugly.

Wooden ninja, bounty hunter, code name 'Senju Hashirama', these words suddenly stood out and fell into the eyes of the third generation.

"The intelligence the intelligence team recovered before was wrong!"

The third generation's eyes flickered, and the codename 'Senju Hashirama' on the document alone was worthy of the attention of all black market intelligence officers.

And judging from the documents, the other party's actions were not covered up in any way. It stands to reason that this information should have been handed over to him a week ago.

Thinking of Danzo's strange behavior, the third generation frowned and ordered: "Invite the two Hokage advisors, Mito Kadoen and Koharu Koharu, to come here."

Team Qing immediately bowed and said: "Yes!"

Just as Team Haru turned around and walked to the door of the office, another order came to his ears, "By the way, Jiraiya and Senju Hideki are also invited here."

"Yes!"

After Team Haru left, Sandai took out his pipe and took a deep drag.

Danzo is becoming more and more courageous. Whether he was colluding with Orochimaru before or now concealing or tampering with information about the Wooden Ninja, he has completely surpassed the power of the Hokage's advisor.

The third generation originally thought that Danzo would gradually settle down as he grew older and his physical condition declined. At this time, it was clear that the other party was still ambitious.

However, unlike Orochimaru's incident, this time the evidence was conclusive, and he did not have to avoid suspicion, he had to teach the other party a lesson.

……

The sun was setting in the west and the sky was getting late. Hideki Senju pretended to be back from training and returned home. He happened to meet the Hokage's order to summon him, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart.
