Chapter 72 - Chapter 72: A Countermeasure Against Danzo

"Calm down."

Kirito rushed to persuade Chizuru when he saw this murderous look on her face.

"Hmph, I'm calm, I don't need you to remind me."

Chizuru sniffed coldly, withdrawing the killing aura from her body as well as closing her Sharingan.

Then, she coldly asked, "What are you trying to do by telling me about this? The two of us, you and I alone, are no match for Danzo and the Root he leads right now."

"Who says I have to deal with that old guy now, that old guy is annoying but it's also true that he's very strong, I can't beat him right now, and this old guy is super scared of death, there are so many Root Jonin surrounding him, wait for the last couple of years before you mess with him, and it's not me who's in a hurry anyway."

Kirito shook his head.

He now wanted to kill Danzo, but he was not an impulsive person, this matter must be properly planned before doing so.

After all, Danzo is now a powerful Kage-level in Konoha. If he dies, it will definitely cause a big earthquake in Konoha. Those Root and even the Sandaime will not let him go. With his current small body, he can't bear the backlash of killing Danzo. It will take at least another five or six years before he can hope to survive on his own.

As for relying on Mito-sensei, forget it, this kind of thing shouldn't bother an old woman whose life is about to come to an end, it's better to let her enjoy her life.

Besides, the Kage-level was not a distant goal for him, when the time came, he would naturally be able to move past it.

The hard part was how to become Super Kage or even Sixth Path level.

"So what do you want to do?"

Chizuru was a little offended by this answer from Kirito and was silent for a moment before asking again.

"Revenge of course, I'm not the kind of idiot who doesn't fight back when he's beaten, I'm interested in getting rid of that old guy now, but can't I get rid of those minions of his? Those stupid fools in the Root Division who are stupidly loyal are just too much of an eyesore and a nuisance to be allowed to become too numerous."

Kirito's expression quickly turned cold as he said coldly.

In Konoha, the only person who could make him remove his mask and speak from his heart was Chizuru, besides Nono, no one else, not even Nawaki or Mito, as the two saw that they would obstruct what he was doing, and only Nono and Chizuru would support him.

When Chizuru saw this, a small smile appeared on her face, this was the same Kirito she knew and recognized.

A favor will be repaid, revenge will be avenged, and the strong will be honored.

She very much approved of Kirito's thoughts.

"Then go ahead and do it, what's the point of telling me this?"

Chizuru said pretending not to understand.

"Hey, those rats in the gutter are hiding too deep, I'm too weak to find them now, look, can you obtain some assistance from your grandfather, Uchiha Homura."

Kirito instantly flashed a curt smile to Chizuru, stating his true purpose for coming to Chizuru this time.

In Konoha, the ninja clan that hated Danzo the most was the Uchiha clan.

Naturally, the Uchiha clan must know something about Danzo and the roots he led, and with the Uchiha's superb illusion ability, they were a good hand at getting information.

Unsurprisingly, Uchiha Homura, the Uchiha clan leader, must have a list of Root's personnel at hand.

With this list, he could have an advantage in requesting information and greatly avoid being sneak attacked and swindled by the Root Division.

Ninjas were a group of people with strange and bizarre abilities, even if he already had notable strength now, one slip up could still result in a sneak attack by these Root Division ninjas.

As the saying goes, there is only a thousand days of thieves, but no thousand days of guarding against thieves.

If he was stared at by the Root's people every day, his heart was still weirdly uncomfortable.

Moreover, the tactics of Danzo and Root's people were underhanded, and once they realized that they couldn't find an opportunity on him, they might find an opportunity on the people around him, such as those little friends in the orphanage, which was his biggest weakness on the surface.

Therefore, he had to have a countermeasure to keep the people of Danzo and Root from doing anything rash.

"Yes, but you have to promise me two conditions."

Chizuru pretended to think contemplatively, raised her head slightly, and said coldly.

"Speak."

Kirito asked.

"First, fight me twice a week from now on, and second, notify me in advance of every action."

Chizuru immediately stated his conditions.

When Kirito heard this, he felt a bit of a headache, the first condition was nothing, at most, he would work a bit harder in the future, the second condition was a bit hard to bear, if he told Chizuru before each action, then wouldn't his actions be known by the Uchiha clan as well.

Even if the Root ninja were bad, they were still Konoha ninja.

If he assassinated them and no one knew about it, and there was no evidence, then of course it would be the best.

If it was known, then wouldn't it be an embarrassment.

"What, you're not happy about it."

Seeing that Kirito hesitated, Chizuru immediately said with a cold face, her eyes becoming dangerous.

"Fine, I'll agree to all of it, but you have to make sure that my actions aren't known by anyone else, it's a secret between the two of us."

Kirito saw that things were going to go wrong, and immediately replied, then raised his head slightly and looked at a large tree in front of him.

"That's for sure."

Chizuru grunted coldly, agreeing to Kirito's extra request.

When she was done, she stared coldly at Kirito, pointing her finger towards the training grounds not too far away.

Kirito, of course, understood what she meant by this, and sighed with a bitchy expression, "Ugh~, since you want to lose to me again so badly, let's do it."

In the next moment, a terrifying killing aura erupted from Chizuru.

"Clang!"

Chizuru's Sharingan opened, and the two of them immediately hit each other heavily with their kunai, splattering stars and sparks before quickly separating again and darting to the top of the training ground.

During the process, the two threw the kunai in their hands, which collided in mid-air and bounced off.

Then, both of them quickly completed their seals.

Fire Release - Great Dragon Fire Technique!

Water Release - Water Colliding Wave!

The huge fire dragon ruthlessly crashed into the wildly surging water current, and the two dissolved each other, forming a large amount of white hot steam, blurring both of their visions.

Taking advantage of this moment, both of them quickly used their summoning jutsu to take out their own equipment.

The Lightning Strike and the Strange Iron Rod fell into the hands of Chizuru and Kirito respectively.

A few moments later, blinding blue and white thunderbolts and black iron sand that covered the sky appeared on the training ground.

Meanwhile, at Chizuru's house, Uchiha Homura was in the courtyard with some feed for the fish in the pool, while beside him, Uchiha Kari was kneeling on one knee to report to him about what Kirito and Chizuru had just met and exchanged.

"Good boy, you are really brave enough to dare to swing your sword at Danzo and the Root, but you do have the capital to be arrogant. You are an 8-year-old ninja, and you have a promising future. You also found out that it was Danzo who did it secretly. You have some skills. If the old man Danzo knew that this boy had found out that it was him who did it, he would definitely be unable to sleep and eat, hehe~"

Uchiha Homura listened to Uchiha Kari's report and smiled in a rare way.

Now that he finally figured out why the plot that Danzo had set up in the Senju clan territory in the first place had failed, he couldn't help but be greatly appreciative of Kirito.

At the same time, a trace of scorn could not help but grow in his heart.

He has such strength and intelligence at the age of 8. What will he be like when he grows up?

Would the power of the Uchiha be able to suppress him?

"Then what do you mean, Clan Leader? Miss Chizuru has already agreed."

Uchiha Kari asked carefully.

"Give it, why not, let Danzo have his own headache."

When Uchiha Homura heard Chizuru's name, that trace of scorn that had just arisen in his heart suddenly faded away, and he laughed coldly.

Danzo, I can't imagine that you also have this day, I really want to see earlier how you will be driven to the brink by this Kirito kid in the future.

Kirito kid.

Come on.

I'm counting on you.
