Chapter 60: Bugs, Blades, and the Hokage’s Fury
Danzo stared at Funan coldly and winked at the root shinobi on the side.
[Swoosh!]
Before the root shinobi could move, a blood-colored flame descended on him, making him retreat.
"Don't go!" Funan said with a smile.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!" Danzo launched an attack on Funan without hesitation.
The moment Funan avoided it, Danzo waved his hand, pointed at Funan, and shouted: "Attack!"
"Secret Technique: Insect Sphere!"
A root shinobi shouted coldly, and numerous insects flew from all directions towards Funan.
"Huh?" Funan looked surprised and murmured: "Why are there still Jonin from the Aburame clan? By the way, you are Aburame Yoji!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of Yoji and Danzo changed drastically.
"How do you know?" Danzo's voice was filled with anger and some fear.
Yoji is a trump card in his hand, and his status is even higher than Aburame Shikuro.
Everything about him is also a secret. Not many people know about it. Why would Funan know about it? Who could it be? Who had betrayed him?
No wonder he failed every time he faced Funan. There is a big traitor behind him, constantly ruining his affairs!
"Fire Release: Dragon Flame Release Song Technique!"
Several huge dragon heads roared towards Yoji.
[Boom! Boom! Boom!]
Yoji was sent flying by the explosion. Insects were also burned in masse.
Blood flames, an extremely high temperature.
"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"
A pillar of bloody fire rose into the sky, enveloping Yoji, about to engulf him.
"Dance of the Crescent Moon!"
A root shinobi rushed towards Funan, turned into three figures in the air, and swung his long sword from three directions, slashing at Funan with unrivaled power.
"Huh?" Funan's expression changed slightly. From this move, Funan actually felt a dangerous aura.
In Funan's pupils, the three magatama rotated and turned into the Mangekyo. Under the Mangekyo, he unraveled all of his opponent's movements. Funan suddenly disappeared.
[Bang!]
The shinobi was sent flying by the kick, rolling on the ground in a sorry state.
"Ugh..." She groaned. Furthermore, her long purple hair was scattered everywhere. The mask on her face also fell off, revealing a delicate and pretty face.
Funan's eyes lit up.
Uzuki Yugao!
Why is this woman at the root? Isn't she a member of ANBU?
The strength is not right either. She was obviously a special jonin, so why did she become a jonin?
Danzo looked at Funan gloomily. Deep in his eyes, there was a trace of fear.
Funan, he is too strong.
Danzo looked hesitantly at his arm. Should he release the seal on his arm? But, if he did, and others from Konoha arrived, how would he explain that?
Also, could Funan already know the secret of his arm? If this is the case, then his combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced.
Danzo felt bitter when he thought of Shisui mentioning the Izanagi.
"Danzo-sama, please leave first." Yoji stood in front of Danzo, with her back to him, and said in a deep voice: "I will cover you."
Danzo looked deeply at Yoji and said: "I appreciate it, Yoji."
"Please do not worry!" Yoji stretched out his hands, and countless insects quickly covered his hands.
Funan looked at him, tilting his head, the Mangekyo turning slightly in his eyes.
[Boom!]
The gigantic Susanoo stood up. In addition, it directly has an armored form. More than fifty meters tall, he coldly looked at Yoji.
Funan waved his hand and said generously: "I'll let you attack first!"
Yoji looked at the imposing figure, then at the insects in his hands, his expression somewhat confused.
[Boom!]
The next moment, a huge arm slammed down hard.
"Curse!" Yoji avoided the blow with difficulty and looked at Funan angrily.
"You actually avoided my sneak attack. It's really impressive!" Funan gave a thumbs up to Yoji.
"You……"
"Let's continue!"
[Boom!]
The armored Susanoo continued to attack. The roar was constant.
Meanwhile, Danzo escaped in a disorderly manner with the last root shinobi. After running for a while, he suddenly stopped and stared ahead.
"I can only fight to the death in this battle." Danzo put his hand on his sealed arm, he had already made his decision, after this was over, he would fully investigate the Root to see who sold the information.
[Bang!]
A figure fell in front of Danzo.
"Danzo, what's going on?"
Danzo said nothing, looking at the person in front of him, he felt tears filling his eyes. "Hiruzen..."
The Third Hokage shivered and looked at Danzo strangely. "What's going on?" Hiruzen asked angrily.
In one night, the sensor-type shinobi detected two fights, both involving Danzo.
It didn't matter. Hiruzen knew what Danzo was doing. But what about the results?
"I failed." Danzo said bitterly. "There was a problem with the Root, the information was leaked and Funan deceived me again."
"You……" The Third Hokage pointed at Danzo's nose and was so angry that he almost wanted to curse.
[Boom!]
There was another roar behind him, Danzo's body trembled, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
He felt that Yoji was dead! Damn it, that's his right-hand man, one of his most important subordinates!
Damn Funan!
"What's wrong?" The Third Hokage keenly noticed something strange about Danzo.
"Let's go quickly!" Danzo doesn't respond, he just spoke in a deep voice: "Funan will catch up in a moment. You don't want to fight with him, do you?"
"Of course not!" The Third Hokage snorted coldly and left quickly with Danzo.
After the two left, Funan quickly walked over with a person on his shoulders and holding a severed head in his hand.
The head belongs to Aburame Yoji. Although Funan was not sure how he would affect the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal if he wanted to extract information.
However, Funan didn't care. If he could get something, great. If not, it didn't matter either.
As for the person he was carrying, it was naturally Uzuki Yugao.
"You ran very fast, but why so fast? I have no intention of killing you, Danzo." Funan laughed softly and left.
He was never prepared to kill Danzo.
If Danzo is killed, Hiruzen will definitely become violent, and he might even fight him directly.
The relationship between these two cannot be underestimated, it is really strong.
Funan is not yet ready for a full-scale war with the Hokage faction.
There are tens of thousands of shinobi in Konoha, and who knows how many of them would mindlessly obey the Hokage's orders.
Funan's goal was to weaken the power of the Hokage faction.
Among Konoha's numerous clans, there are those who understand the situation. They do not blindly follow the Hokage, but rather fear his power.
For many, does it really matter if the Hokage or the Uchiha are in power?
Uchiha is not a good thing, but the Hokage faction is a good thing?
Last but not least, Shisui was taught a lesson, so that this brainless guy would fall for it this time, right?
Danzo gouged out one of his eyes. If she still has hope in the Hokage faction, she can't blame Funan later.
Funan has already decided.
If Shisui continues to be stubborn, next time, he will confront him himself and resolve the situation.
There is no place for dangerous forbidden powers like the Kotoamatsukami. If it cannot be controlled, it must be eliminated.
…
[Bang!]
Hiruzen, who returned to the Hokage's office, slammed the table and looked at Danzo coldly.
At this moment, Danzo regained his composure and sat calmly on the chair.
As long as he goes to the Hokage's office, he is not afraid of anything!
"Danzo, give me an explanation!" There was uncontrollable anger in Hiruzen's words.
"Do you know how much trouble you've caused this time?"
"Yes, Danzo!" Koharu said in a deep voice. "Torifu has clearly expressed his dissatisfaction with you and publicly expressed his intention to deal with you."
"Torifu?" A gloomy look flashed across Danzo's face. "I should have eliminated the Ino-Shika-Cho clans when I had the chance."
"That's nonsense!" Hiruzen yelled angrily and said: "Eliminate Ino-Shika-Cho? I'll eliminate you first. Who do you think you are? Is your value greater than Ino-Shika-Cho?"
Danzo smiled sarcastically and said: "Uchiha are more valuable. How many people in the entire shinobi world can match them?"
"You…"
"Okay, okay!" Homura stood up quickly and said: "Why are you still arguing? Don't forget that our enemy is Uchiha."
Hiruzen snorted, took out his pipe and started smoking.
Koharu asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Torifu? Why does he appear now and challenge our position?"
"What else could be going on!" Hiruzen said: "Torifu no longer wants to stay in the shadows."
"Why?" Koharu was even more confused.
When he was young, Hiruzen invited him many times to come out and become an elder of Konoha, but he rejected them all.
