"Now go!"
Colt whispered a few words to the hypnotized Fū and ordered him.
As Fū ran back towards Konoha, there was still a hint of daze in his eyes.
It was bad manners for them to just come and go without Colt settling some accounts with them.
He couldn't deal with it now, but he would settle the score after returning to the village.
For now, sending Fu was enough.
After resolving this, Colt was not affected in the slightest and continued on his way.
Danzō was like an annoying fly, buzzing around.
Very irritating. But if we talked about any actual harm, there really wasn't any for him.
When it was dark, Colt successfully arrived at Konoha's camp on the border.
After handing over the Hokage's order document to the guard ninja, he went directly to Kosuke's resting area.
Looking at the old man with a large piece of gauze and bandages wrapped around his chest, Colt's voice became a little deep.
"You go out and gather all the ninjas here."
He ordered the ninja stationed there and started working.
Unbuttoning the gauze and bandages revealed three long claw marks.
Colt's hands clenched tightly.
His right hand lit up with green light and he placed it on Kosuke's chest.
The healing effect that had evolved twice was very powerful.
It not only helped Kosuke heal the injury he had but also restored a certain amount of vitality to the old man.
After about ten minutes, he finally woke up.
"Colt?"
Kosuke, who had just woken up, was still a little dazed and asked uncertainly.
"Kosuke-senpai, I'm glad you're fine."
Colt nodded with a smile.
No matter who the opponent was who hurt Kosuke, he promised to make them pay the price they deserved.
Asura and Indra, these two people can destroy kingdoms.
Today, he was still a little short of being either of the two's match, but he could settle for destroying half a country first.
After chatting for a bit, Colt told Kosuke to rest well and walked out of the tent.
Outside, dozens of Konoha shinobi had gathered, waiting for his orders.
Looking at Colt's departing back, Kosuke felt greatly comforted.
In just a few months, this kid had become a pillar of Konoha, and now he could stand in front to heal him and protect him.
Outside the tent, dozens of Konoha shinobis looked at Colt in unison.
Some were curious, some were scrutinizing, and some were worried.
Colt didn't waste time with any pleasantries and asked directly.
"Do you have any information on the enemy? And how did Kosuke-senpai get injured?"
A Konoha shinobi wearing a Jōnin vest named Tekuno remarked:
"Kosuke-san and his team were ambushed by an elite Cloud shinobi team. Our side held the advantage initially, but another enemy came from the Hidden Cloud."
Speaking of this, his tone also became solemn.
"It was a female ninja who killed Tsukiyu and Chiho by herself, and wounded Kosuke-san."
"If it wasn't for the timely arrival of the support troops, Kosuke-san might not have been able to stay alive."
Female ninja?
Colt frowned and thought for a while, then asked again, "Do you know what she looks like?"
"She had long light brown and straight hair, tied into a braid."
And just like that: The Case was Solved.
With such an obvious feature, Colt naturally knew who it was.
The Two-Tails Jinchūriki, Yugito Nii.
There were few appearances of her in the original work, but this female Jinchūriki was a popular character who could skillfully use the power of the Tailed Beast sealed in her.
Although Kosuke's strength was good, he was still a little outmatched in the face of that kind of monster.
Colt remembered that Yugito Nii's weapon was the claws that could extend from her limbs.
That explained his chest injury…
"Where are the Hidden Cloud ninjas now?"
Colt looked at the ninja who was answering and asked casually.
"By the way, what's your name?"
"Tekuno. As for your question, their base is thirty kilometers northwest."
The Jōnin named Tekuno asked cautiously.
"Are we going to launch a counterattack?"
The mission statement given by Tsunade clearly stated that Colt was the commander-in-chief of the border line here.
Not only them, but also the ninjas in the surrounding outposts must obey his command.
This was also the reason why Tekuno, who was also a Jōnin, had such a respectful attitude.
Even among the Jōnins, there was a gap.
"Of course," Colt said matter-of-factly. "I came here for some payback."
"If these Cloud shinobis dare to hurt our Konoha people, they will pay the equivalent price in blood."
While speaking, he also released a powerful Chakra wave, which alerted everyone present and sort of made it hard for them to breathe.
The purpose of this was simple: to demonstrate his strength.
Colt understood that, given his age, it was normal for the others to lack trust in him.
Who would trust their life to a thirteen-year-old child?
He wasn't some Mary Sue character; others would doubt him if he didn't prove himself.
As such, he had to show his strength.
This would make the people under his command feel at ease, and it would be easier to lead them.
Sure enough, when they felt Colt's huge chakra and presence, many people were left breathless.
Instead of being angry, they breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed that their leader Tsunade hadn't dealt with it casually, but rather had attached a great importance to the situation here.
"Everyone, go back and prepare. We will only leave two people to patrol. Tomorrow morning, we'll attack the Hidden Cloud's outpost."
After speaking, Colt walked to the best tent in the camp, ready to make do for one night.
"Yes, sir!"
The group of ninjas responded.
With such a strong person here, they would definitely be able to avenge their comrades tomorrow!
Meanwhile, in Konoha...
After Colt left, Fu woke up from the Genjutsu state not long after.
In his memory, the entire Root team fought to the death.
He finally seized the opportunity to turn the tables with his Mind Transfer Technique and barely restrained Colt. The last companion rushed up with an exploding tag, and the two perished together.
That's why he couldn't bring back Colt's body with him.
This mission was half done.
Danzō's order was to kill Kamiyo Colt and get his Sharingan.
Danzō, who had already tasted the sweetness of the Sharingan, would never give up such a good opportunity to acquire another one.
After passing through the layers of guards, Fū finally came to the bottom of the Root base, which was the area where Danzō lived.
As soon as they met, he knelt down on one knee.
"Danzō-sama, Yamanaka Fū has returned."
"How is it? Did you bring back the Sharingan?"
Danzō's tone was a little eager.
He knew that when his subordinates came back, the target must be dead, but he didn't know if they had secured the Sharingan or not.
"I'm sorry, the team was..."
Yamanaka Fū was about to raise his head to explain, but the words stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.
His whole expression became dazed for a moment.
Immediately, his eyes turned scarlet! And a voice sounded from his mouth.
"Old Danzō, all the people you sent have been killed by me. Tell me, how do you feel about that?"
