Chapter 73 Danzo is dead?! Hiruzen Sarutobi's despair!
Chapter 73 Danzo is dead?! Hiruzen Sarutobi's despair!
At this moment, in the Hokage's office.
Hiruzen Sarutobi paced anxiously, puffing on pipe after pipe, filling the office with smoke and the pungent smell growing stronger.
Koharu and Homura exchanged a glance and both frowned.
"Hiruzen, calm down."
Hiruzen Sarutobi clenched his fist.
"How can you expect me to stay calm?"
"Right now, Uchiha Senba is locked in a life-or-death battle with Danzo. How can I be at ease until I get a result?"
"You know, this is a critical moment of life and death!"
Mitokado Homura shook his head and said, "It's not that critical. Not to mention that Danzo might not necessarily lose, even if he does lose, Uchiha Chiba won't be able to escape unscathed. You have to understand, that guy Danzo used Edo Tensei to create a force comparable to an army!"
Koharu, who was turning over to her dorm, also said, "Not bad."
"With so many elite powerhouses attacking together, plus Danzo himself and the remaining forces of Root, even the mighty Uchiha Chiba couldn't completely cope."
Hiruzen Sarutobi coldly replied, "I received news that Kakashi Hatake and the Ino-Shika-Cho trio have already left the village, clearly heading to participate in this battle!"
"That bastard Kakashi is openly disobeying my orders!"
Mitokado Yan sighed.
"Even so, there are only seven or eight people in Kakashi West. The elite forces of the Ino-Deer-Butterfly clans are all on the battlefield. These people alone cannot cause any trouble."
"Besides, didn't you send those secret agents to gather intelligence?"
"We'll know any information soon enough..."
A cold glint flashed in Xiaochun's eyes as she turned to her room.
"Hiruzen, if you ask me, instead of being anxious and restless here, we should take advantage of the situation."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was startled.
"You mean, while Fugaku and Chiba are both away, we'll launch a surprise attack on the entire Uchiha clan?!"
"It's not impossible."
Mitokado Yan couldn't help but change his expression.
"This...I'm afraid it's not quite appropriate?"
"What's wrong with it? Is there a better opportunity?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi remained silent.
After a long while, he also shook his head.
"no."
Koharu, who was turning over a new room, frowned: "Why?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi said in a deep voice, "The Uchiha clan is indeed weak right now, but even if we kill them all, it will only be a temporary fix."
"Uchiha Fugaku, no, the key lies with Uchiha Chiba!"
"If he manages to return alive, but the Uchiha clan has been massacred, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
"Furthermore, Uchiha Chiba must have left behind a backup plan."
"According to intelligence from the Dark Division, he is still at the police headquarters, and it is very likely that he left behind a shadow clone."
Xiaochun, who was turning over to her new room, couldn't help but widen her eyes.
She hadn't expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi was actually afraid...
Afraid of that man, Uchiha Chiba...
With just a shadow clone, Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated to act rashly, fearing the consequences.
However, this is not surprising, as Uchiha Chiba's strength has been increasing day by day and has made rapid progress, which cannot be explained by ordinary standards.
Who knows just how powerful he has become?!
Mitomon Homura nodded and said, "Hiruzen is right, we can't be too hasty."
"Moreover, taking advantage of the absence of the two core members of the Uchiha clan to massacre the remaining Uchiha clan members is simply unacceptable, both for the other clans in the village and for the reputation of Konoha in the entire ninja world..."
"We have no legitimate reason to act..."
Just as the three were feeling troubled.
Two figures from the secret service suddenly appeared in front of the door.
"Hokage-sama!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi shuddered, nearly dropping his pipe.
"How is the battle going?"
"explain!"
The ANBU member stammered, "Lord Danzo... he... he's already..."
"Already what?"
"Killed by Uchiha Senba!"
"What?!"
In an instant, the three old foxes' faces all changed color, and they instantly lost all their color!
"How could this be...?"
"Where are Danzo's army of resurrected beings?!"
The ANBU member trembled as he said, "They were all wiped out by Uchiha Senba!"
"He...he awakened the power of Susanoo!"
"Those powerful beings resurrected through the Impure World Reincarnation technique seem unable to unleash their full potential from their previous lives; they are utterly helpless against his Susanoo!"
"Lord Danzo, although he received the First Hokage's Wood Release cells in his arm, along with five Sharingan eyes, and even obtained the secret of the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique, Izanagi, but... but still..."
"Easily slaughtered by Uchiha Senba!"
"The remaining Root ninjas were all wiped out by Kakashi Hatake, Tsukasa Akimichi, and Chiba Uchiha, who killed Lord Danzo. Root... is now completely defunct!"
boom!
Hiruzen Sarutobi slumped onto his throne, dumbfounded, watching as the pipe in his hand slowly went out...
"Danzo is dead..."
Although in a sense, Shimura Danzo betrayed himself, however...
Upon hearing this devastating news, Hiruzen Sarutobi still couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The relationship between the two is difficult to explain in a single sentence.
Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado were equally shocked.
But the two of them remained calm after all.
"It wasn't impossible for Hiruzen and Danzo to have died at the hands of Uchiha Chiba..."
"However, I never expected such a crushing defeat..."
"He's dead, and so is Root..."
Koharu, turning to the next room, hurriedly asked, "Where is Uchiha Chiba?"
"Susanoo is not a power that is easy to control. Those who manipulate Susanoo to wreak havoc will always pay a heavy price!"
The two secret agents looked at each other in bewilderment.
"He...he seems to be alright..."
"The Mangekyou Sharingan shows no signs of weakening, let alone going blind..."
"What?!"
This time, the three of them were even more utterly shocked and despairing.
Mitokaku inflammation also caused him to sweat profusely.
"In other words, even after the deaths of Danzo and the entire Root organization, that man is still..."
"Completely unharmed?!"
The two secret agents remained silent, which was tantamount to acknowledging the answer.
Koharu, who was turning over to her new room, finally became anxious.
"It seems we underestimated that guy by a large margin..."
The entire office fell into absolute silence.
Much later.
Hiruzen Sarutobi finally came to his senses, relit his pipe, took a deep breath, exhaled a large smoke ring, and said in a deep voice.
"Where is Uchiha Senbato?"
"We're heading back to Konoha Village."
"Hiruzen, what should we do?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression at this moment was extremely tragic.
"Summon everyone immediately for a Hokage meeting."
"Declare a complete purge of Danzo and the Root organization!"
The two understood instantly and nodded.
"I see."
……
at the same time.
the other side.
A belated notification sound came into Qianyu's mind.
