Tu Sheng [Hokage]

The method Uchiha Itachi mentioned to fool Danzo was actually very simple.

When I encountered the second tail, he used his Sharingan to cast a small illusion, making the second tail mistakenly think that he had killed Danzo's cronies in the chaos, and then ran away after finding that he had no ability to fight against me. .

At this point, it seems that his plan failed simply because he underestimated my strength.

"Does he know that only the Sharingan can control me?"

"I probably don't know." Itachi answered truthfully.

Although Itachi's methods were clean and neat without leaving any evidence, he and I survived intact in this situation. It would be fine if he was just suspicious, but people like Danzo are endlessly suspicious, and the worst is The most likely possibility is that he wanted to get rid of Itachi who knew about his many plots.

"You still said I was reckless."

I sincerely felt a headache, but if Itachi was really Danzo's side, I might have fallen into the hands of a human this time.

"The shame of the dragon clan..." I whispered softly,

Itachi glanced at me, and a smile seemed to well up in Furui Muha's black pupils.

But now the situation is such that we can’t even laugh.

By then we had reached the edge of the Land of Fire, and the deliberately slowed down pace lengthened the time it took for us to return.

We discussed many issues about Danzo along the way. He knew that I was determined to confront him, so he no longer said unnecessary words to persuade me, but instead picked out some information that I could know and told me.

In fact, for him, what really matters is not Danzo's life or death, but the problem of the Uchiha clan. But I also said that that kind of thing is beyond my control unless I can rewrite the thoughts in their brains.

In my knowledge, the only thing that can do this is the profound magic - confounded cognition (confunduscharm).

When I asked him why Danzo dug out Shisui's eyes, Itachi pointed to his own eyes.

"Brother Zhisui's Mangekyō Sharingan can silently modify a person's will."

"???"

Sure enough, I underestimated the human beings in this world.

I have learned confusion cognition before, but I haven't learned it even after hundreds of years of study, because this thing is directly related to mental ability. As a pure combat dragon, being able to scratch the surface is a recognition of my IQ.

Moreover, the power to stop water comes from the blood, and the blood inherits the boundary, and this is the only one...

"So one of Shisui's eyes is with Danzo?"

The response he received was a heavy hum from him.

Suddenly, a sad mood enveloped me. Some people have done all the bad things and are still alive, while some people even use the organs left behind after death.

I have never felt such hatred towards human beings as I do now.

The life of the dragon clan is too long, so long that we don’t care about the passing time. If we didn’t have a common goal, we would really have lived enough.

The corpses of the dead comrades will be burned by the dragon flames to prevent the huge bodies that still have power from being dissected and used by the gods.

I don’t know how many times I have watched such funerals, but I have never been as sad and angry as I am now.

He is obviously just a human, but he does the same dirty things as gods; he is obviously just a human, but he wants to sacrifice himself in exchange for peace.

I stand outside their machinations and cannot judge their actions.

Uchiha Shisui is dead, the destruction of the Uchiha clan is a foregone conclusion, his hopes have been dashed, and the instigator of all this is Shimura Danzo.

I would kill him just because of this.

When the time comes and everything is ready, I will kill him.

"what happened to you?"

Seeing me stop, he turned around and looked at me with a somewhat doubtful look.

I smiled gently, as if I wasn't the one who just burst out with murderous intent.

"It's alright"

In the blink of an eye, only two of the solid iron triangle were left, and each of them devoted himself to what he had to do, as if the leisure and harmony a few years ago had never existed. I understood that this is the helplessness of being a human being.

Too fragile...

It seemed like it would break at the touch of a touch. Even when I was dealing with Sakura, I had to be deliberately gentle, otherwise she would be inadvertently hurt.

Pure and lovely.

Will she become a ninja in her own right in the future? Personally speaking, as an elder brother, I don’t want it.

I would rather she live in a world where all dirty and disgusting cancers are eradicated, even though I know this is impossible as long as humans still exist.

It is because they will burn out in their extremely short lives that one or two of them appear to be so eager to pursue what they want.

In the past, I thought this was too impatient and a bit ugly.

The three-day journey back was delayed by us to a week. When we submitted the report of leaving the village to the ninja on duty at the gate, he obviously recognized us.

"I didn't expect that great ninjas like Shiro and Itachi-senpai would be overdue for their missions." He smiled timidly when he met my eyes, and there was no hint of flattery in his tone.

"Something happened this time,"

I took the stamped report from his hand, stuffed it into the ninja bag hanging on my back, and explained unhurriedly:

"Encountered a tough beast"

"Ah, it must not be an ordinary beast."

The ninja on duty scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and I made a somewhat malicious smile. Although it was not directed at him, his expression was still frozen on his face.

"It seems like someone has plotted against me."

After saying this, I restrained all my expressions, pulled out the remaining documents in his hand, and invited Itachi to step into the door together.

It's "root" again. When I returned to the village, I saw that I was really separated from others.

Konoha will not change because of everything we have encountered, and it is still immersed in a peaceful atmosphere as usual. Today happened to be Monday, and the children running around were all studying in the Ninja School, and most of the adults were busy with work. The streets were deserted, with only a few ordinary people passing by.

Itachi was walking side by side with me, and his clothes were a little rumpled from sleeping outdoors in the past few days. This direction did not lead to the Uchiha clan, and he obviously didn't want to go home immediately.

I stopped, and when he turned his head again in confusion, I said

"Take me to see Danzo."

The stronghold of "Root" has changed once. It is not the same place two years ago, but moved to a place not too far from the center of the village.

Although the place has been changed, it is still dark and damp inside to the point where I feel like vomiting.

Danzo is not a fool, and even if you don't look at it from the perspective of an enemy, he is a frighteningly cautious politician.

So when I knelt down on one knee to salute, his face was still gloomy with half of his face covered by bandages, and he obviously had extreme distrust of my compromise.

But I don't need this kind of trust at all. I just need to make him temporarily stunned, let him be confused by my attitude, and then find a suitable opportunity to kill him.

Behind Danzo stood a man wearing a white tiger mask. I knew that was his guard. Being able to stand in that place meant that he was very extraordinary.

but…

The only ones who can really pose a threat to me are Uchiha.

Itachi has been sent away by Danzo, and now there are only Danzo, me, and the guard in the entire Root Force office. Even though there were dozens of silent killers lurking outside the house, I was confident enough to kill them all with one strike.

Then, he would kill all the people who might know the truth. The dead would not reveal the secrets, and the information about Danzo and Kumogakure would be in his hands.

Although doing so would risk provoking a war, Kumogakure was by far the most suitable scapegoat for this situation.

I was about to clarify everything, but Danzo stood up first. He walked around from behind the desk to me and looked at my expressionless face.

"As a boss, I rarely care about the lives of my subordinates." He smiled with a face that disgusted me.

my life?

Suddenly a guess that sent chills all over my body screamed out of my nerves.

I stood up suddenly, with pure murderous intent that could no longer be suppressed. The guard wearing a white tiger mask instantly stood between me and Danzo.

"You..." I almost gritted my teeth, and all the blood in my body was rushing to my brain.

"Three days ago was the deadline for you to complete the mission. If you hadn't come back by then, I sent one of my subordinates to check on your family, lest they think you died in the process of completing the mission."

Danzo spoke slowly, still looking like he was not afraid of death. I really admire his psychological quality. He probably didn't know that I was a powerful dragon who could fight against the true god in my previous life.

"He said your sister is very cute. What is her name, Sakura?"

Shut up…

"What a pity..."

"Such a young child shouldn't be able to withstand the poison of the Aburame clan."

In an instant, the string called reason was broken. The rising anger and the force of the collision in my blood made my heart almost stop beating in pain. Countless extended scales climbed up my hand, and the sharp claws instantly passed through the front. Two human bodies.

The sound of penetrating skin and crushing bones penetrated into my ear canal in a distorted way, causing my dizzy mind to freeze for a moment.

The minced meat and blood taken out by the sharp claws were scattered on the floor, and the masked ANBU fell down silently.

I opened my eyes wide. Danzo, who had been penetrated by me just now, appeared intact behind the table. My sense of smell was forced to open and noticed that Danzo's bloody smell had disappeared, as if he had been penetrated for the second time. The body I penetrated never existed.

He raised his hand to signal the killers lurking in the dark not to act rashly.

[Mao-Hai-Wei] That was the mark on his hand when I penetrated his body just now.

"Izanagi..." I couldn't stop murmuring

"There are actually juniors who know this technique?"

Danzo stood upright in my eyes where murderous intent and anger were solidified.

"So, Haruno Haku"

"The poison in your sister is actually not incurable."

Suddenly, the anger seemed to be pinched by something, and a great desire for destruction emerged from my heart, just like the countryside after a fire was poured with hot magma.

"You touched her...you touched her, you touched her..."

I repeated like a psycho.
