As Danzo settled down, Sarutobi Takashi and the other ANBU also disengaged from combat, but the encirclement was not lifted, and they were still eyeing Günzo and the Negi ninja under his command intently.
Not only that, the number of ANBU that came after them continued to increase.
These ANBU are all ninja who are proficient in hiding, if not for the fact that Kirito can rely on soul perception to detect souls within a 1 kilometer radius, it is estimated that it would be difficult to fully discover them by relying on the perception of natural energy on chakra alone.
As a Kage-class powerhouse with expertise in perception ninjutsu, he of course discovered Sarutobi Takashi's small move of secretly mobilizing dark ninjas for reinforcements.
In response, he just snorted coldly, and then clasped his hands and looked at the direction where Sandaime and the others had left, his eyes cold and deep.
"It seems that Danzo really can't leave, so many ANBU, there are 20 jONIN alone, even if he's a Kage class powerhouse, he wouldn't dare to act rashly, there's also a shadow clone of Uchiha Homura next to him, I guess if it really comes down to a fight, this Uchiha Clan Patriarch will definitely be very happy to call out ninjas from the Uchiha Clan to come to help with the fight."
Kirito thought with satisfaction as he watched Danzohelplessly choose to give up and leave.
In this way, he wouldn't have to sneak around and follow Danzo.
The Root's headquarters was still very dangerous, and there was no telling if there were any sealing boundaries that could detect souls or ninjas who could sense souls.
As a last resort, he did not want to follow this old geezer, Danzo.
"Ah, there's not much time left for out-of-body safety, it's time to go back."
Kirito thought with a slight frown as he suddenly felt a slight pain in his soul.
Time flew by so quickly, and before he knew it, the time for his nightly excursion was about to be declared to be over.
Without further hesitation, he maneuvered his spirit body to turn around and fly quickly in the direction of Kawaki's house.
A minute later, at Kawaki's house, Kirito in the basement reopened his eyes, then stood up somewhat stiffly.
...
Meanwhile, in Sandaime's room, the five people, Sandaime, Homura Mitokado, Utatane Koharu, Uchiha Homura, and Hyuga Kazuma, were gathered here, and they were honestly sitting on their knees on the tatami mats at that moment, listening to the Aburame Ryoma's narration about the exact process of the Roots Ninjas destroying the Sealing Barrier of Senju Clan tonight.
With Mito, the master of sealing, the tongue disaster root seal on Aburame Ryoma has been lifted. Next, he was controlled by Uchiha Homura, who was proficient in illusion, with the Sharingan, and then honestly told everything he knew.
According to Aburame Ryoma's narration, the reason why Danzo chose to destroy the sealing barrier of the Senju clan was in order to lure out Ebizo, the head of espionage for the Sand ninja.
To that end, Danzo had done a great deal of work.
Among them was to utilize the Sand Ninja spies that had been discovered lurking in the ninja school to leak out the information about Uzumaki Kushina, and also to order people to secretly spread the information that Uzumaki Mito's life would not last long on top of the black market of information.
After that, he secretly cooperated with Orochimaru, allowing Orochimaru to break the sealing barrier of the Senju clan, and then intentionally 'inadvertently' disclosed this information and the news that he was going to get hold of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki to a member of the Root Division who had already been found out to be a Sand Ninja spy.
Throughout the entire set of plans, it could be said that Danzo had designed them quite skillfully, so interlocked and tight that it was almost impossible to see any cracks in them, making full use of the various pawns at his disposal, even utilizing his own notoriously bad reputation along with them.
Sandaime and the others asked themselves, if they were Ebizo, they should probably have already fallen for it.
However, the only person who had missed out on this was Kirito, who had already mastered the Spirit Transformation Jutsu and had been traveling at night every day.
He probably couldn't even imagine that Kirito would learn the Spirit Transformation Jutsu in such a short time.
After all, what kind of S-rank jutsu doesn't take a lot of time to master?
According to his information, Kato Dan spent a whole year to learn the Spirit Transformation Jutsu. Before practicing, he also used many precious resources to recuperate his body and try to reach the best state for practicing the Spirit Transformation Jutsu.
Who knew that Kirito's talent for cultivating the Spirit Transformation Jutsu was so abnormal, in less than a month, he successfully mastered this terrifying S-class soul ninjutsu, and also relied on the sufficient cultivation resources provided by the Senju Clan, the Spirit Transformation Jutsu has improved by leaps and bounds.
This matter, not to mention Danzo, Mito was shocked, if not for seeing it with her own eyes, she probably wouldn't believe that someone could cultivate the Spirit Transformation Jutsu so quickly.
In short, this time around, Danzo was pitted against empiricism.
With Kirito who didn't play by the rules, his plan could only be forced to fail.
"Damn you, Danzo, actually hiding so much important information, how many other important things are you hiding from me."
Sandaime was shocked and deeply resentful of Danzo after listening to the plan told by Aburame Ryoma.
For example, there were Sand Ninja spies in the ninja school, this thing he didn't know at all, Danzo actually hid it from the public, it really made him pained and fearful.
After all, the ninja school is to cultivate Konoha buds, spread the will of fire, is a very important institution, and the teaching group of the institution actually mixed into a sand ninja spy, once something goes wrong, that is likely to be the crisis of countless buds destroyed.
Not every student in the ninja school was a super kid like Kirito, Chizuru and Kawaki with the strength of a chunin, most of them were just ordinary kids who didn't even have the strength of a shinobi.
If that sand ninja spies to turn out, secretly create a big destruction, precious Konoha tender buds may really die in the majority.
At that time, he, the hokage, would have no excuse.
Behind every child represents the hope of a family, if this hopes are lost, many people will go crazy.
These people couldn't find an object to vent their anger on, they would definitely vent their anger on him, the Hokage.
Who made Lord Hokage the first person to protect the village.
If he didn't take the blame for this kind of major blunder incident, who would take the blame.
Even if he is the scapegoat in the first place, most people will probably continue to blame him, thinking that he is incapable of protecting everyone and unworthy of being Hokage.
He can't even protect the young buds of Konoha in the school, and he still wants to protect others?
Who would believe it?
And Danzo, this bastard, actually didn't tell him such important information, his heart is damnable.
With Danzo's character, Sandaime was convinced that Danzo would do such a thing.
As soon as he thought about this, Sandaime became more afraid of Danzo than before, thinking that his old comrade was really cruel and cruel in order to bring him down.
"Asshole, you're on your own."
Sandaime thought angrily, and decided that this time he must severely punish Danzo and give up the idea of pleading with Mito.
It's not that he doesn't want to plead for Danzo, it's just that Danzo has gone too far this time, and the sword has obviously begun to lose control and bite him back.
He must take this opportunity to suppress Danzo again.
