Chapter 579: Danzo Shinnosuke I will send you off in person

~6 min read 1,115 words

"Fire Release・Phoenix~"

In the dense forest dozens of miles away from Konoha.

Dozens of dark figures kept colliding~

Various escape techniques kept attacking the lone figure in the center.

"Who are you?"

"Why do you know Konoha's ninjutsu?"

The man who was besieged in front of him was not an outsider.

It was Sarutobi Shinnosuke.

It must be said that Danzo acted very quickly.

After making up his mind that night.

Just two days later, he devised a plan to kill a team of Anbu, thus luring Shinnosuke, the Anbu chief, out of Konoha.

"Is it still exposed?"

"Then there is no need to hide it anymore."

"Secret Technique: Shadow Seam~"

"Secret Technique: Heart Turn Technique~"

...

At this moment, the Root members who came from the Ninja Clan no longer concealed themselves and released various secret techniques.

This also made Sarutobi Shinnosuke... gradually fall into despair.

"People from the Nara Clan~"

"And the Yamanaka Clan, the Aburame Clan..."

"Are you trying to start a rebellion?"

"No...this is not the style of the Ninja Clan."

"You guys...are from the Root."

"Danzo sent you~"

Under the ultra-high frequency of battles, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's thoughts became clearer and clearer.

However, the closer he got to the truth, the more frightened Sarutobi Shinnosuke was...

He couldn't understand~

Why did Danzo, who had held him when he was just born, send out so many Root elites to surround and kill him?

"A bunch of trash~"

"So many people, and they can't even handle such a small matter."

The moment Sarutobi Shinnosuke's voice fell~

Accompanied by a low scolding~

Danzo, under the protection of Aburame Ryoma, slowly walked out of the deep forest in the distance.

"Uncle Danzo...it's you."

Looking at Danzo's familiar face and dress...Sarutobi Shinnosuke's heart completely sank to the bottom of the valley at this moment.

"Why... why did you do that?"

"Shinosuke!"

"How can there be so many whys in life?"

"If you want to blame someone, blame your father~"

"The position of Hokage!"

"After the death of the Fourth Hokage... Hiruzen regained power, but he... considered Tsunade, considered that idiot Jiraiya, and finally... chose you."

"But he... never considered my feelings!"

"I have also made countless contributions to Konoha."

"Konoha can prosper today, and I, Shimura Danzo, have contributed at least half of it..."

"It should be me who can become Hokage and lead Konoha into the future."

...

Listening to Shimura Danzo's almost crazy roar~

Sarutobi Shinnosuke finally understood the crux of the problem.

At this moment~

His thoughts could not help but go back to three years ago, when the Nine-Tails Rebellion had just ended.

At that time~

He also asked a question to his father who regained the power of Konoha... Konoha's Third Hokage.

That is... why not consider, as the leader of the Root, one of the top leaders of Konoha, one of the most powerful Kage-level warriors in Konoha... Shimura Danzo.

However, the answer given by that person is... people who live in darkness for a long time will also be eroded by darkness in their hearts.

Those who are qualified to become Hokage must be people who are oriented to light.

Although it is very ruthless~

But this is the answer given by his father... "Uncle Danzo, stop~"

"Even if you kill me, you can't become the Kage of Konoha."

"Don't make mistakes~"

"Take the people of the Root away, for the sake of our past friendship, I can pretend that nothing happened."

Holding the Ruyi Stick in his hand, Sarutobi Shinnosuke took a deep breath.

"Wrong?"

"Shinnosuke~"

"It's not me who's wrong, it's Hiruzen!"

"Hokage, not the Hokage of the Sarutobi clan."

"Who can become the Hokage is not decided by Hiruzen alone."

"I want to see, after you die... who can compete with me for the position of Hokage in Konoha today."

Faced with Sarutobi Shinnosuke's persuasion, Danzo couldn't help but sneer, and the murderous intent in his eyes became stronger.

"Shinnosuke!"

"Let me show you the real power I have now..."

"I will prove to you that choosing me... is the most correct choice for Hiruzen."

Under the gazes of many people, Danzo directly shattered the bandage wrapped around his right arm.

Revealing four scarlet three-magatama Sharingan~

"Wood Release: Violent Spear Tree~"

Danzo took action.

The powerful Wood Release and Wind Release Ninjutsu continuously attacked Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who had consumed a lot of chakra.

The power beyond imagination made Sarutobi Shinnosuke bleed in a short time...

On the side, Aburame Ryoma and many Root members who were watching the battle also breathed a sigh of relief after seeing Danzo completely gain the upper hand. The vigilance in their eyes suddenly disappeared a lot.

In this situation~

If you intervene rashly, not only will you not get any praise, but you will receive corresponding blame afterwards...Punishment.

Boom~~~

"Everything is over~"

"Shinnosuke!"

"Wood Release: Root Burial~"

Half a minute later, Sarutobi Shinnosuke's breath completely dissipated, and he became a cold corpse. BIqupai.

Looking at Shinnosuke's miserable body.

Danzo's eyes suddenly became a little complicated again.

"I'll leave this to you~"

"Remember, clean up the traces of the battle..."

"Don't deal with Shinnosuke's body."

"Hand him...completely to Hiruzen~"

"This is also the last thing I, as an uncle, do for him."

...

Crack~

Inside the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was working overtime to deal with the accumulated government affairs, suddenly raised his head from the mountain of documents.

See...the porcelain cup placed on the left hand side suddenly had countless dense cracks at this moment, and then with a piercing sound, it turned into a pile of fragments.

"Why...why do I feel vaguely uneasy in my heart?"

"Is it a coincidence?"

"Or has something happened in a corner that I don't know about?"

Just when Sarutobi Hiruzen's mumbling voice just dissipated~

The tightly closed Konoha was suddenly smashed open!

Two panicked Anbu members suddenly rushed in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hokage~"

"The Minister... the Minister is dead."

The panicked voice of the Anbu, now a bolt from the blue, made Sarutobi Hiruzen's brain go blank in an instant.

"How...how is it possible."

"How could Shinnosuke die?"

For a moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen thought a lot.

Thinking of his deceased wife~

Thinking of his eldest daughter-in-law who had just received good news not long ago and was pregnant.

Thinking of...the second child at home who only listened to the eldest brother's words.

"Find it for me…"

"No matter how much it costs, you must find the murderer who killed Shinnosuke."

"Even if… even if it means starting a new war."

On this day, Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart-wrenching roar almost shook the entire Konoha.

It made countless ninjas and civilians fear him.
