Chapter 544

Almost, in an instant.

The Root members on the periphery directly used sealing jutsu to hide this place.

The many Jonin inside had numbness in their eyes; even if the person in front of them was the son of the Hokage, their pupils had no expression.

Obviously.

After the Root's brainwashing, plus the Cursed Seal of Root, these people had long since lost their own thoughts.

For them, Danzo's words were orders.

Shinnosuke Sarutobi had some despair in his eyes.

He knew very well.

He probably couldn't escape today; after all, he was facing Danzo, the most vicious and ruthless person in the village.

Thinking of this, he was full of bitterness.

"Father, have you ever thought about today?"

"Being bitten back by the dog you raised yourself, but I think you probably wouldn't have thought of it."

"Only with sincerity can one count as sincerity; with interest, one can exchange for interest; with calculation, one can only exchange for calculation."

"You have calculated for a lifetime, thinking you have calculated everyone."

"Perhaps you didn't even think that you would have a day of being calculated by others."

"You were wrong!"

Shinnosuke Sarutobi muttered to himself.

Yes.

Perhaps when he first heard that he was betrayed by his clan brother, there was resentment and grievance in his heart.

However.

After listening to Danzo's words, especially when he was truly facing death, he suddenly understood.

What he said was right!

Sarutobi Arashi was top-notch in ability, character, and strength; if he hadn't been born better than him, he might not even have the qualifications to stand in front of him.

But, what about now?

He could only be ranked behind him, numbly following his father's design, doing his job as a housekeeper.

And, it sounded good.

In essence.

The entire Sarutobi clan were dogs of his family.

Under these circumstances, how could people be willing?

When there was no opportunity before, he naturally had to appear humble for self-preservation.

But as long as there was an opportunity, just like tonight.

He didn't even think about it and sold himself directly.

Calculating people.

There will always be a day when you are calculated by others.

After thinking about this, his mouth was full of bitterness, and there was no light in his eyes.

The next second.

Danzo teleported to his side, and the kunai in his hand cut his throat directly.

In the splashing blood, Shinnosuke died completely.

Looking at this scene, Danzo's face remained calm.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he spoke indifferently.

"Take it back."

"Handle it with those useless test subjects."

"Don't let anyone find out!"

After finishing.

Danzo turned and left.

Obviously.

This matter tonight was just a simple task for him.

For the Root, it was simply familiar.

Even...

If it weren't for Shinnosuke Sarutobi's special status, he wouldn't need to show up personally for this kind of small task.

Now that it was done, he was too lazy to stay longer.

He turned and left directly.

And, on the other side.

Many Root members didn't waste words either.

They skillfully carried the body and began to clean up the scene.

A moment later.

The scene was completely restored to its original state, and even the destruction of the jutsu could not be seen.

In the ink-like night, Konoha was still quiet and peaceful.

I think.

Perhaps no one would have thought that Shinnosuke Sarutobi, the Anbu Captain and son of the Hokage, had simply lost his life.
