"Senior Danzo, isn't what we're doing a bit too much?" Minato asked with some concern.
After the Third Hokage was driven away by Danzo's anger, the two elders, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, also left.
Thus, at this moment, only Minato and Danzo were left in the Hokage's office.
Regarding Minato's worry, Danzo d...
The passage of time does not stop for anyone's feelings.
Even if that person is the legendary Sannin.
No matter what attitude Orochimaru had towards this matter, the sun still rose the next day, and the Hokage inauguration ceremony proceeded as scheduled.
To witness this grand event, many villagers had gathered early...
When Danzo returned to Konoha with a large entourage, he naturally received a warm welcome.
After all, he had not only dispelled the misunderstandings with the Daimyo and restored their support for Konoha, but also tripled the military funding.
Such an impressive achievement was beyond reproach, even by the two elders, Koha...
Danzo's appointment as the Grand General of the Land of Fire was broadcasted across the globe by the Shinobi World United Newspaper.
As the first newspaper in the ninja world, the United Newspaper had gradually become the largest, fastest, and most authoritative source of information.
Whether other ninja villages liked it o...
Gazing at the frustrated Daimyo, Danzo felt no internal stirrings.
As for the Daimyo's supposed defiance unto death, preferring to sacrifice his life for dignity?
Save it. Such a notion was entirely alien to these old nobility.
To encapsulate it with a phrase Danzo had heard in his previous life—
The aristoc...
Danzo, leaning on his cane and accompanied by a hoarse voice, slowly emerged from the shadows.
"Shimura... Danzo!!"
The Hannya female leader glared at the man emerging from the shadows, grinding her teeth as she spoke.
A surge of intense anger welled up within her.
For it was this man who had commanded the for...
"Did Father have a falling out with Elder Danzo?"
In a courtyard located in the central area of the capital, a portly young noble was asking excitedly.
"Yes, Lord Kawahara."
Standing in front of the Daimyo's son was a man wearing a hannya mask.
His voice was muffled, sounding like that of a middle-aged man.
"Damn Danzo!"
"How dare he?!"
In the Tenshukaku, the Daimyo, the most prestigious man in the entire Land of Fire, erupted with astonishing anger.
He flipped the table in front of him and then smashed the wine glass in his hand onto the ground.
Although the noble killed by Danzo was not particularly high-rankin...
"No!"
The Fourth Raikage instinctively reached out his hand and shouted unwillingly.
Hanekawa immediately snapped back to reality and looked at him, her eyes narrowing involuntarily.
"Lord Raikage! Take care!"
Mabui formed a hand seal with both hands and spoke resolutely.
Heavenly Transfer Technique...
Earth Release: Underground Submersion!
As the tree net shattered, Hanekawa sank into the ground.
The solid sand and stones around him turned into fluid, allowing him to swim through the earth like a fish.
Though underground, Hanekawa could still sense the commotion above.
Compared to the Two-Tails, the E...
Hanekawa watched the gigantic creature charging toward him and formed hand seals.
Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!
The ground beneath the Two-Tails instantly turned into a dark swamp.
Its massive body was too heavy, and as soon as the swamp appeared, it sank a third of the way in.
The Two-Tails vi...
"Hanekawa, are you really sure about this?"
Samui took a deep breath and asked.
"Samui, no need to waste words on him!"
Yugito snorted coldly and said, "He no longer has the right to be a ninja of our Kumogakure Village!"
Hanekawa calmly unsealed the Yin Seal.
The diamond mark on his forehead...
"Thousands of hunters set an ambush to attack Lord Danzo!"
"Lord Danzo is in a difficult situation, Lord Danzo is in a dilemma!"
"Lord Danzo is about to lose!"
"Lord Danzo has annihilated all the enemies!"
"Lord Danzo is giving a victory speech!"
Over the past two days, the Shinobi World United Newspape...
Danzo left Shisui in charge of guarding the corpses and waiting for the arrival of the Konoha ninjas. He then turned to Kakuzu and asked:
"Where is the nearest underground money exchange?"
Since they were planning to exchange these individuals for funds, the underground money exchange was naturally the best choice.
...
The bright light gradually faded, revealing a massive crater in the center of the battlefield.
In the depths of the crater, Danzo stood with his tantou, its blade piercing through Kakuzu's chest.
Crimson blood flowed incessantly from Kakuzu's torso, while the blade itself was imbued with a dense Wind Release chakra.
...
Kakuzu swiftly formulated his next combat strategy based on Danzo's performance.
With a frantic writhing of the Earth Grudge Fear beneath his skin, the two masks on his shoulders quickly separated.
Countless black lines surged out from the sutures, attaching themselves to the masks and forming two terrifying black monsters ...
"The Darkness Shinobi of Konoha……"
"Shimura Danzo!"
Kakuzu, enveloped in his trench coat, narrowed his eyes, a grave expression emerging from within.
"When did it happen?"
Kakuzu glanced sideways at Shimura Danzo, who was still battling on the battlefield.
Clearly, the figure fighting there was...
If the scene before him were captured, it would undoubtedly make the front page of the Shinobi World United Newspaper.
The headline would read—
The Head of the "Darkness of the Shinobi" Danzo Suspected of Being Fiercely Contested!
Though it sounds somewhat hellish, it does indeed reflect the current sit...
As the ground trembled, both Minato and Shisui couldn't help but show a look of gravity on their faces.
Although they knew all these situations were within their plan, wasn't Danzo's acting just a bit too good?
The performance was just too realistic, wasn't it?
So much so that they both felt a deep sense of worry.
Led by Shisui, these underground hunters launched relentless assassination attempts on Danzo.
It was a severe blow to his teacher.
In just two short days, Danzo was targeted for assassination nearly 20 times!
On average, he faced an assassination attempt every two and a half hours!
Whether sleeping, eating, or...
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Intense impacts resounded continuously from within the forest.
Each time, the ground trembled violently.
The creatures here, as if experiencing some kind of natural disaster, had long since fled in a panic to the distance.
Fortunately, this situation did not last long.
After a pe...
"Danzo is severely injured and not yet recovered. As long as we can restrain Minato, we can get the bounty of tens of millions of ryo!"
"Everyone, attack together!!"
No one knows who first shouted this slogan.
The next second, countless people scrambled to launch their attacks.
Countless kunai were triggered f...
Danzo and Minato left Konoha.
This marked the end of the internal strife within Konoha, and the beginning of a new journey.
They didn't bring any guards on this trip.
As the leader of a village, Minato himself was a symbol of strength.
Not to mention the man known as the Darkness of the Shinobi.
Moreove...
Watching the Third Hokage, who had suddenly compromised, Minato suddenly felt that there were still many things he needed to learn from Danzo, his senior.
“Since that’s the case, then go back and prepare well. We’ll set off tomorrow.”
Danzo rose to his feet with the help of his cane and began to walk towards the exi...
"Okay!"
Zhu Zhuqing's voice was filled with delight.
"Teacher, Shrek Academy is now collectively planning to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Everyone and I are already on the way."
"Oh?"
A flash of understanding crossed Qian Renje's eyes; it seemed that things were back on track, at least on the su...
"Ah～I must admit, as a teacher, I have been somewhat negligent," Flandre sighed, watching Ma Hongjun walk away and sharing his feelings with his good friend beside him.
"It's not too late to realize it now," Yu Xiaogang said with a stern face, leaning on his crutch and speaking indifferently.
"Xiaogang, shouldn't you be c...
A scream rang out.
At the entrance of the base, two Cloud Village ninjas were engulfed by various ninjutsu, turning into ashes.
The entire Cloud Village base was instantly alerted.
The Fourth Raikage flashed to the entrance.
His vision was filled with chaotic chakra fluctuations.
"Enemy attack!"
...
"That old bastard is finally out of the way!"
Back in her tent, Tsunade dropped her usual composure and laughed in delight.
"He won’t just let this go so easily," Hanekawa said as he sat down across from her. "Too bad we couldn’t take Orochimaru’s position as commander while we were at it."
"What ar...
The Phantom Body Flicker Technique, enhanced by the Mangekyō Sharingan, became even more terrifying.
Just as Hanekawa had a fleeting thought, he sensed an intense heat wave above him.
At some unknown moment, Uchiha Shisui had leaped into the air, forming hand seals. As his body lifted, he exhaled a massive fireball.
“Hanekawa!”
Sarutobi Asuma’s slightly surprised voice rang out. “What are you doing here?”
“Of course, I came to find you,” Hanekawa sighed. “It’s really not easy to meet you guys.”
Kakashi’s father, Sakumo Hatake, and his ninja squad were responsible for ambushes and harassment missions, so the...
