The next day.
Early morning hours.
There was silence in the root base. Danzo stayed up all night in the office, nervously paying attention to the situation of Uchiha and his old friend Third Hokage.
He was afraid that his capture of Mangekyō would be exposed, causing the two to attack him.
"It looks like everything is fine for now."
Danzo waited uneasily for dawn and found that nothing happened all night, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
boom! !
Just as he was thinking about it, the base suddenly shook, and a strong explosion came from outside.
"what happen?"
Danzo was shocked and stood up.
Not long after, a root ninja ran in and announced: "Master Danzo, Anbu's people are here, saying they have a warrant for the Third Generation purpose!"
"Hiruzen!?" Danzo was surprised, and he led the people out of the base in confusion.
Outside.
A group of Anbu ninjas stood in silence, looking at Shimura Danzō who walked out of the base indifferently.
Swish——
An Anbu ninja led by him opened a scroll in front of Danzo and read the words on it: "Revoke Shimura Danzō as elder and return Uchiha Shisui's eyes. Execute immediately!"
After reciting, the scroll was handed over.
Danzo's face suddenly darkened.
A root ninja next to him stepped forward, took the scroll, checked it, and after confirming that there were no traps or spells, handed it to Danzo.
"snort!"
Danzo snorted and looked down at the scroll.
it is true.
The brushstrokes and seals are genuine, not a forged scroll.
Third Generation really wants to fire him from his position and make him hand over the Mangekyō Sharingan he finally got!
"Hiruzen, do you really no longer miss your old relationship?" Danzo's face was so dark that it seemed like he could drip out of ink, and his expression was extremely ugly.
"I will tell Hiruzen personally about this!"
Danzo said nothing and walked angrily towards the Hokage Building.
Falcon!
Suddenly a kunai flew over very fast and stuck on the ground in front of Danzo.
"stop!"
The leading Anbu ninja threw a kunai and shouted coldly.
"Bold!" The surrounding root ninjas ducked over one after another, some blocked in front of Shimura Danzō, and some surrounded the group of Anbu ninjas.
"Are you going to commit the crime?" Danzo asked coldly with a cold look in his eyes.
"Danzo, are you going to disobey the Hokage's order?" the leader of the Anbu ninja asked in a cold voice.
Danzo's expression became even more gloomy.
He didn't expect that a little Anbu ninja would have the courage to scold him in public. He had crushed countless such little pawns to death in the past.
"Very good, do you want to give it a try?" Danzo laughed angrily.
He raised a hand and was about to wave it down,
This action puts the surrounding root ninjas into a fighting state. Once it is swung, they will swarm up and tear this team of Anbu ninjas into pieces!
Anbu's ninja also tensed up.
"Would you like to try it out, Danzo?"
At this tense moment, a person standing at the end of Anbu's team suddenly spoke with a touch of disdain: "Try to fight with me?"
After the words fell, many people in the root group became furious.
"Be bold!"
"Who are you, how dare you speak like this!"
"Arrogant people, seeking death!"
These carefully cultivated Jōnin all glowered.
Although Roots did not brainwash them into robots, the concepts instilled in them from childhood required loyalty to Danzo.
To these Jōnin, Danzo is the person they respect the most!
He has a high status and is full of charisma.
Even the Hokage has to be ranked behind!
Therefore, they cannot tolerate anyone disrespecting Danzo, let alone speaking to Danzo in an arrogant and contemptuous manner.
"etc!"
But unlike Jōnin, who was at the root of the excitement, Danzo's face suddenly turned pale.
He raised his hand that was about to fall and froze in mid-air.
"Your voice and mask...are you an owl?" Danzo looked at Anbu who spoke in surprise.
"Yes, it's me." Nara Jun nodded casually.
With his current strength, he no longer needs to worry about an elder hiding in the darkness.
There is no need to show even an attitude of respect.
"..."
Danzo's expression suddenly changed, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He had read Genbu's report that all the people who died by the Nanhe River yesterday were killed by one person.
The traces of the battlefield showed that there was only one enemy!
Only one guy can kill seventeen Jōnin + thirty-two Chūnin by himself.
That was the mysterious 'Owl' who suddenly appeared a year ago!
This Nara ninja popped up out of nowhere, mastering the unique shadow contract technique and able to summon powerful creatures to fight.
According to the information he received, Xiao once defeated a infiltrating Cloud Shinobi force without any injuries!
Thinking again of yesterday's tragic situation...
Danzo's expression became uncertain. If he turned against him at this time, he might be beaten by this owl, and none of the men around him would survive.
Even, he may have an accident himself!
'Hiruzen, you are so cruel! ' Danzo roared angrily in his heart: 'I have worked hard for you without complaint for so many years, but I just took the Mangekyō Sharingan, and you turned your back on me! ! '
He didn't feel at all that he was wrong.
There are always some people in the world with strange thinking who feel that everyone around them owes them.
If you don't follow his wishes, others will be callous and callous.
"Lord Danzo?"
The surrounding Jōnin saw that Danzo was silent. After waiting for a while, they couldn't help but approach and ask.
"...Go and bring that eye to them." Danzo came back to his senses and said with suppressed anger.
"Danzo-sama!?" The surrounding Jōnin were shocked.
Lord Danzo actually backed down!
Spit out the fat in your mouth! ?
"Go quickly!" Danzo scolded with a cold face.
Looking at this scene, Nara Jun sighed regretfully. If Danzo turned against him at this time, he would really kill Danzo.
I didn't expect that I could endure this.
As expected of you, Guoying!
"Master Danzo, eyes..." After a while, someone ran out of the base and brought a glass tube with a scarlet and strange Sharingan soaked in it.
"Take it away!"
Danzo looked at Mangekyō in the glass, gritted his teeth, and threw it to Nara Jun with great reluctance.
"Haha." Nara Jun didn't move.
Naturally, an Anbu team member stepped forward to catch the glass tube for him and carefully inspected it before handing it to him.
"Captain, no problem."
Nara Jun took the glass tube, looked at it, felt the deep Mangekyō pupil power in it, and the unmistakable 'shuriken pupil pattern' of this eye, and then nodded and put it away.
"Just take care of yourself, Chief Danzo... no, it's the former elder."
Nara Jun waved his hand and turned around with a smile: "Close the team!"
"Yes!" several Anbu team members replied in unison, turned around and left with Nara Jun.
In place.
Danzo's face was as black as coal, and the corners of his eyes were twitching crazily.
Watching Mangekyō Sharingan being taken away made him feel uncomfortable in his chest and almost wanted to vomit blood.
"Ah!! Damn bastard!!"
He couldn't help but raise his head to the sky and cursed loudly.
