In the most hidden corner of Konoha—the Root.
Deep underground, within this secretive organization that concealed many of Konoha's darkest secrets, the sound of 'thwacks' echoed continuously.
"Too slow, Shisui!"
"Speed up!"
"Charge forward!"
"Faster, faster!!"
Danzo's hoarse voice relentlessly ...
On the wide road.
Hanekawa stood on top of the supply transport team's carriage with his eyes closed.
Using his Mind's Eye, he could sense everything happening in the surrounding area.
After two days of travel, they had finally left the Land of Fire and entered the Land of Rivers.
In about half a day, they wou...
"System, give me a boost!"
Danzo first chose Wind Release, the element he had always excelled in.
As soon as he made the decision, a large number of skill points on the system panel were consumed, transforming into a surge of power that erupted within his body.
His body, his muscles, even his cells were undergoing ch...
After two days of travel, the group finally arrived at the Leaf Village.
"Teacher Chen, Uncle Hizashi, see you tomorrow."
After completing the registration at the entrance of the Leaf Village, Hanekawa bid farewell to Chen and Hyūga Hizashi.
"Wait, Hanekawa."
Hyūga Hizashi suddenly thought of something and e...
As night fell.
Hanekawa vaguely felt something heavy pressing down on him.
He felt a bit uncomfortable and instinctively opened his eyes.
What greeted him was a cascade of smooth, golden hair.
Hanekawa was slightly stunned, his consciousness gradually clearing.
He remembered listening to Tsunade's stori...
Under the leadership of Danzo, forty children from the laboratory appeared at the entrance of the orphanage.
The one who brought them here was none other than Shimura Danzo, known as the "Darkness of the Shinobi."
Accompanying him were Root ninjas, masked and exuding a bloody aura.
The method they used to transport t...
After Danzo left, Koharu and Homura exchanged glances.
Although Hiruzen and Danzo often quarreled, it was rare to see such a heated argument as the one they just witnessed.
But for them, this was actually a good thing.
The further Hiruzen distanced himself from Danzo, the more he would need to rely on them.
Th...
"If you're this scared just because of two pairs of Mangekyō Sharingan, then we might as well hand over the title of the number one shinobi village to Hidden Cloud."
When Danzō spoke these words, an overwhelming aura of confidence and authority radiated from him.
At this moment, it seemed as though he was the true Hokage,...
As the treaties signed between the Hidden Mist, Hidden Sand, and the Hidden Leaf gradually took effect, the tense situation along the borders of the Land of Fire quickly dissipated. The Hidden Leaf, at long last, welcomed peace.
Although everyone understood that this peace would ultimately be short-lived, the Hidden Leaf, having b...
The news of Danzo taking on another disciple spread as expected.
"Who would have thought that Danzo would take in an orphan as his disciple? What is he planning?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen gazed at the report delivered by the Anbu, his face clouded with unease.
"Is the orphan exceptionally talented?"
He turned to the A...
Danzo's words pierced through the gloom in Kabuto's heart like a sharp sword.
Like a beam of sunlight, they illuminated his gradually closing heart.
In the end, he couldn't hold back anymore.
Tears streamed uncontrollably from the corners of his eyes, rolling down his cheeks.
Young Kabuto suddenly threw himsel...
In the western part of the Land of Fire, Kikyō Castle.
After the intense battle to defend the town, the entire area, including the surrounding mountains, had suffered massive destruction.
The streets were lined with collapsed buildings, and a large number of residents were slowly clearing the rubble, trying to restore the ...
Shrek Academy
Tang San stood beside Yu Xiaogang, watching the small black dots appear in the sky.
"Teacher, the dean and the others are back."
"Good... cough cough..."
Yu Xiaogang, wearing an eye patch, struggled to speak properly.
The concern in his eyes gradually faded.
Shrek Academy—this was...
Hearing Dai Mubai's continuous screams gradually turning into weak groans, Zhu Zhuqing paused slightly in her actions.
She swiftly put on the clothes Ning Rongrong and the others had prepared and headed to the scene of the incident.
A total of forty-nine strikes were delivered.
Ning Rongrong was bent over in exhausti...
Under the watchful eyes of Oscar and Bu Le.
Two figures flew directly into the dark, secluded alley from outside.
They slammed hard onto the ground.
"Cough!"
Dai Mubai rolled on the ground twice, his clothes in tatters, coughing up blood.
"Ah—"
Ma Hongjun's plump body couldn't stop rolling, eve...
"What is that old man planning to do?"
After Danzo left, Zetsu, with only half of his face visible, slowly emerged from the shadows nearby.
Appearing alongside him was Uchiha Obito, wearing a spiral-patterned mask.
At this moment, Zetsu's eyes were filled with confusion.
According to his plan, Danzo was suppos...
"But I still can't fully control the power of these eyes."
Nagato gently covered his purple eyes beneath his red hair.
As the legendary "Eyes of the Sage," the Rinnegan not only possessed terrifying power but also required an extremely high level of control and mastery.
Even for someone with Nagato’s unique constit...
"See, Yahiko, these are the people who survived under the light of your Will of Fire," Danzō said softly, standing behind Yahiko with his hands gently resting on the wheelchair handles.
The scene before him seemed to bring him a sense of satisfaction, as it reminded him of the days when he was called "Grandpa Mummy."
"Thes...
The war with Kirigakure and Sunagakure had finally ended.
When Danzo announced the end of the war with Sunagakure, all the ninjas let out a sigh of relief.
They had won a great victory, and now that the war was over, the next step was to return to the village and settle military merits.
This was the true motivation b...
When Shisui delivered the news to Danzo, he wasn’t particularly surprised.
After all, he had made his stance clear: if they didn’t accept the terms, war would follow.
Given Sunagakure’s current predicament, Rasa’s weak leadership, and the pressure from previous rounds of negotiations, it was highly likely they would...
Faced with Sunagakure's conditions, Danzo, of course, rejected them.
He expressed his anger at Sunagakure's lack of sincerity.
It was said that he even smashed the table in the command room.
Danzo also ranted about wanting to annihilate the Land of Wind and similar threats.
Then, a 500-strong Konoha force was ...
In the end, Rasa chose to slightly deviate from Chiyo's final instructions.
He used his Gold Dust to carry away the body of the elderly advisor.
By the time Shisui's tracking team arrived at the scene, Rasa had long since disappeared.
However, thanks to his meticulous observational skills, Shisui still managed to fin...
[Danzo leads Konoha forces to defeat Sunagakure forces in the Land of Rain. The Kazekage Rasa and elder advisor Chiyo of Sunagakure are missing, their fates unknown.]
On the night the war ended, this news was delivered to the major powers at the fastest possible speed.
In an oasis town in the southern desert of the Land of ...
"We have won."
On the high platform raised by the green giant, Danzo slowly raised his hands.
Crimson blood trickled from his eyes, but his expression remained calm.
His slightly hoarse voice carried a steady tone, reaching every corner of the battlefield.
In an instant, all the Konoha ninjas who had risen fro...
Before Danzo could launch his attack on Rasa, the latter had already lost his patience.
"Damn it!"
"Stop joking around!"
"I am the Kazekage!"
"I am the man who will become the strongest Kazekage!"
Rasa, hovering high in the sky, had witnessed everything unfolding below.
He couldn’t accept it!
The rapidly approaching wind blades carved deep gashes into the ground before slamming into the chakra shield Chiyo had deployed using her puppet arm.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The sound of metal clashing against metal rang out repeatedly.
Although Danzo's wind blades failed to pierce through her defense, the intense im...
The massive golden cube, carrying a terrifying mass, crashed heavily onto the ground.
The moment it made contact, the mass, amplified by gravity, swiftly transformed into a colossal impact force.
"BOOM!!!"
A deafening roar nearly shattered the eardrums of everyone nearby.
In an instant, the ground was torn apa...
"Why won't these damned Konoha ninjas die?!"
A Sunagakure ninja, locked in close combat, let out a cry of despair.
It was supposed to be a fair fight—one slash for you, one slash for me. So why is it that when you slash me, I’m done for, but when I slash you, you’re still bouncing around like nothing happened?
...
"What did you say?"
As one of the five most powerful figures in the ninja world, the Kazekage Rasa had lost count of how many times he had reacted like this.
But it really wasn't his fault.
The latest battle report that had just been delivered to him showed that, whether in the Land of Rivers or on the Rain Country f...
To be fair.
Although Uchiha Fugaku has some shortcomings—such as being indecisive, short-sighted, hesitant, and allowing the clan's downfall—he is indeed willing to sacrifice for the Uchiha clan and Konoha.
For example, right now.
"Clan Leader Fugaku, didn't Lord Danzō say that overusing the Mangekyō Sharingan ...
