Chapter 165 Danzo's Impotent Rage (First and Second Updates)

"Tsunade-sama."

Qing bowed slightly and said, "We found the location of Aburame Tokonami, in a root training base in the Forest of Death."

Members who join the Root must undergo training and brainwashing by the Root.

Not to mention that Aburame was still very young.

He was only seven years old, just like Shino Aburame.

"Immediately arrange for a secret service team to come with me."

Tsunade stood up and gave the order.

"How about that ANBU squad from last time?"

After a moment's thought, Qing asked.

"Kakashi and Itachi? That's good, let's go with them."

Tsunade nodded and said.

"Ok."

Qing turned and left the Dark Division office.

She moved quickly, and in less than three minutes, four ANBU ninjas appeared in front of Tsunade and Kitazawa.

The team was led by Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha.

The two of them were somewhat surprised when they saw Kitazawa.

Haru told them that they were going to Root with Tsunade.

Kitazawa's appearance here is quite abrupt.

But having learned from their previous experience in Kusagakure, they quickly regained their composure.

"Come with me."

Tsunade said something and walked out.

Danzo Shimura and his Root organization are well-informed; she must hurry.

If they discover this in advance, who knows what might happen.

The group entered the Death Forest at an extremely fast pace.

"Here."

Kakashi Hatake ran in the lead.

Under his guidance, they arrived at the Root Base.

This Root base was built in a valley, and the entrance was guarded by two Root ninjas.

Upon seeing this, Tsunade walked straight forward.

"Tsunade-sama?"

The two Root ninjas were surprised when they saw her.

But they were still very dutiful and blocked her.

"Lady Tsunade, you cannot enter without Lord Danzo's order."

The Root ninja wearing a mask said in a deep voice.

“I have the old man’s warrant.”

Tsunade took out the Hokage's warrant and said.

"We need Lord Danzo's orders."

The Root ninja repeated.

"Your roots are truly audacious!"

Tsunade's face darkened, and she questioned, "Are you ninjas from Konoha? How dare you disregard the Hokage's orders?"

"We are ninjas from Konoha Village."

The Root ninja said emotionlessly, "But he is also a Root ninja."

"Itachi."

Tsunade, too lazy to argue with these brainwashed Root ninjas, simply shouted.

Sharingan - Genjutsu!
Itachi Uchiha appeared directly in front of the two Root ninjas.

He activated his Sharingan, the three tomoe slowly rotating, radiating an invisible power.

The two Root ninjas glanced at it subconsciously and then froze on the spot.

Kitazawa, seeing this, sensed something amiss.

A question suddenly occurred to him.

The cause of the massacre of my clan in my previous life was a conversation between Shimura Danzo and Uchiha Itachi.

Given the intelligence and information gap, Itachi Uchiha agreed to cooperate, or rather, make a deal, with Danzo Shimura.

However, with Tsunade's intervention, Itachi Uchiha has now directly clashed with Root.

Will this deal still happen?
Kitazawa wasn't sure either, but he felt the probability was very low.

After restraining the two Root ninjas, Itachi Uchiha stepped forward and struck them hard on the neck.

They immediately fainted.

Tsunade walked past them and into the valley.

Many buildings and training facilities were constructed in the valley.

It was morning, and a group of root members were training.

"To recruit a bunch of kids into Root, Danzo Shimura is truly insane!"

Tsunade glanced at it and immediately showed disgust on her face.

These root members are clearly newly joined or prospective root members.

They were all very young; none of them looked to be over twenty.

This would be normal if it were during the Fourth Shinobi World War.

After all, by the end of the war, manpower was severely insufficient.

But the root cause is clearly not a lack of manpower, but rather a convenient way to brainwash and raise treacherous individuals.

The sound of breaking wind was heard.

Eight masked Root ninjas surrounded them.

They are the guardians of this root base.

"Lady Tsunade, please wait."

The leader of the Root ninja spoke up.

His tone was just as indifferent as the Root ninja who had guarded the gate before.

Strange power!

Without saying a word, Tsunade threw a punch.

The terrifying force unleashed waves of air that were visible to the naked eye.

Boom!
The Root ninja in front of her didn't even have a chance to react; they flew backward at an extremely fast speed, like a cannonball.

The remaining seven Root ninjas instinctively stepped forward and caught his body.

But the remaining force still made them stagger back several steps.

"It's more satisfying to settle things with fists!"

Tsunade smiled and said with a slight upturn of her lips.

Kakashi Hatake was startled by what he saw.

Last time, Tsunade fought against the ninjas of Kusagakure, which was somewhat understandable.

But even towards the Root members, who were also ninjas from Konoha, they remained just as ruthless, truly living up to their reputation.

A hint of envy flashed in Itachi Uchiha's eyes.

He also hopes to solve all problems with strength, just like Tsunade.

In particular, the conflict between the Uchiha clan and Konoha Village.

The leader of the Root ninjas was knocked unconscious with a punch, but the remaining Root ninjas surrounded them.

"Come and help!"

One of the Root ninjas turned and shouted to the group of Root ninjas training not far away.

Upon hearing the order, they instinctively rushed forward.

In the blink of an eye, Tsunade and Kitazawa were surrounded by more than five times the number of Root ninjas.

"I am Tsunade, here on the Hokage's orders. Who among you dares to lay a hand on me?"

Seeing this, Tsunade clenched her fists, exuding a terrifying aura, and asked.

The next second, many Root ninjas began to waver.

Some of them haven't been with Root for long and haven't been completely brainwashed yet.

Now, hearing the name Tsunade naturally fills one with fear.

"Don't forget the consequences of disobeying Lord Danzo!"

The Root ninja spoke again.

"ridiculous!"

Tsunade laughed in anger and roared, "Any Root ninja who dares to disobey the Hokage's orders, seize them all!"

Despite being outnumbered, the Anbu ninjas immediately carried out Tsunade's orders.

Besides, both Kakashi Hatake and Itachi Uchiha are seasoned veterans, so they are naturally fearless.

Moreover, although there are many Root ninjas, the seven official Root members are the truly powerful ones.

The remaining Root ninjas lacked both strength and experience.

A chaotic battle immediately broke out.

Kitazawa flashed forward and blocked Tsunade's path.

In such a fierce battle, someone was bound to get injured.

Seeing blood will trigger hemophobia.

Tsunade was slightly taken aback, but then she realized what was going on.

A warmth filled her heart, and she didn't join the battle, but stood there staring at Kitazawa's figure.

This way, she can avoid seeing blood in her sight.

Wind Release: Gale Palm!
Kitazawa clapped his hands together.

Chakra surged forth, transforming into a whirlwind that swept towards the Root ninja before him.

Although the ANBU ninjas are all elites, the Root ninjas are numerous and have already entered into a fierce battle.

Moreover, in the eyes of the Anbu ninjas, Tsunade was stronger than them, so naturally she didn't need any protection.

The Root ninja vanished from the spot with a single Body Flicker Technique in the face of the raging wind.

Rasengan!
Kitazawa remained calm and unhurried, gripping the Rasengan in his right hand and slamming it to the left.

The Root ninja was met with his Rasengan as soon as he appeared, and was instantly torn apart and knocked unconscious.

Art fire escape ho fireball!
Another Root ninja opened his mouth and spat out a huge fireball.

A heatwave swept through, and the surrounding temperature rose rapidly.

Wherever the fireball passed, everything was charred black.

Water Release·Water Dragon Bullet Technique!
The moment the fireball appeared, Kitazawa conjured streams of water out of thin air all around him.

The water swirled and flew out, eventually condensing into a majestic water dragon.

"Is this Second Grandfather's Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique?"

Tsunade recognized him at a glance.

Because a normal Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique isn't that fast.

When did Kitazawa learn Water Release?

Was it chosen after the last Kusagakure mission?
Has the Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique reached such a level in such a short time?

Tsunade sensed something was amiss.

Was he hiding his true abilities all along?
Now, whether it's medical ninjutsu, genjutsu, or water, fire, and wind techniques, he has demonstrated extremely high talent.

However, there is another possibility.

That means Kitazawa never had the opportunity to learn these ninjutsu at the ninja academy, so naturally he couldn't show his talent.

But no matter what, at Kitazawa's current stage, the reason doesn't matter anymore.

After all, the appearance of an elite Jonin is a good thing for Konoha Village.

The water dragon roared and swallowed the fireball, then slammed it down on the Root ninja with undiminished force.

The five types of esoteric techniques have a certain relationship of mutual restraint. Fire Release restrains Wind Release, Wind Release restrains Lightning Release, Lightning Release restrains Earth Release, Earth Release restrains Water Release, and Water Release restrains Fire Release.

Kitazawa used Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique, which naturally completely defeated Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique.

But this Root ninja was a Jonin.

He reacted quickly, retreating while forming hand seals.

Earth Escape·Earth Flow Wall!
The ground rose up, and a wall rose up, blocking the water dragon.

Kitazawa glanced at it.

There were indeed no three dog heads on the wall.

Wind Release: Shuriken!
Kitazawa took out a shuriken and threw it directly.

Click!
The spinning shuriken immediately shattered the earthen wall into pieces.

Kitazawa, with one hand behind his back, took a step forward and blocked the Root ninja who was about to leave.

The Root ninja paused for a moment, then stepped forward without hesitation, wielding a kunai.

Magical Naraku-seeing Technique!
Kitazawa formed a hand seal with one hand, met his gaze, and immediately released an illusion.

The Root ninja suddenly shuddered, a look of fear appearing on his face, and the kunai in his hand clattered to the ground.

The "Magic - Naraku's Sight" technique allows the target to see the most terrifying sight in their heart, and what he saw was Shimura Danzo.

Kitazawa seized the opportunity to step forward and knock him unconscious.

Although there was a reason for it, the Root members were also Konoha ninjas.

If you kill them, the nature of the crime will change.

Even Tsunade said "capture" rather than "kill".

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard.

Kitazawa instinctively turned around and saw Tsunade stomp her foot, causing the ground to crack and countless pebbles to fly up.

The Root ninja who attacked her immediately screamed and fell to the ground.

Fresh blood spurted out.

Konoha Body Flicker Technique!
Kitazawa sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped in front of Tsunade.

Wind Release: Gale Palm!
A strong wind surged out, blowing away the smell of blood.

Tsunade instinctively grabbed his shoulder, her body trembling slightly as she struggled to stay upright.

"Lady Tsunade, how are you?"

Kitazawa glanced at her and noticed that her face was slightly pale and her pupils were somewhat unfocused.

"I...I'm fine."

Tsunade shook her head and said.

She didn't see any blood, only smelled the stench of blood, so it wasn't that serious.

Kitazawa secretly breathed a sigh of relief and did not leave again.

He stood still, like a cannon emplacement, using wind, fire, and water techniques in turn to provide support.

Soon, all seven official members of the Root organization were captured.

The remaining reserve personnel were surrounded by the Dark Guard.

They have lost more than half of their men, or more accurately, they have knocked more than half of them unconscious.

Who is Aburame Torune?

Kitazawa spoke in place of Tsunade, asking the question.

A few seconds later, Aburame Torune slowly raised his hand.

His expression was similar to that of the other Root members, but the doubt and uncertainty in his eyes betrayed his true feelings.

Simply put, he hasn't been completely brainwashed yet.

"come here."

Kitazawa explained, "I am Shino's teacher. We have come to take you home at the request of the Aburame clan."

"Shino?"

Aburame Torune's expression changed.

It looks as if the fake person has turned into a living person.

"good."

Kitazawa nodded and said, "It is indeed Shino Aburame, your good friend."

Upon hearing this familiar name, Aburame Torune was overcome with a flood of memories.

His facial expressions became more varied and complex.

After a moment, he made up his mind and walked up to Kitazawa.

Although Aburame Torune was young, he had heard of Tsunade's great name.

If it were just Kitazawa leading the team, he wouldn't dare to leave the Root.

He was worried that the roots would be detrimental to the Aburame clan.

But with Tsunade here, and Kitazawa saying it was at the request of the Aburame clan, he naturally had no need to stay in Root any longer.

"Tsunade!"

Just then, a distorted and angry voice came from afar.

Tsunade took a deep breath, freeing her from the effects of hemophobia.

She turned to look at the newcomer, the one-eyed Danzo Shimura, who was leaning on a cane.

"Tsunade, what are you doing?"

Danzo Shimura asked coldly, "Are you planning to defect by attacking a fellow villager?"

"That's a question I should be asking you!"

Tsunade took out the Hokage's warrant and asked, "Do the Root members who only obey your orders still remember that they are ninjas of Konoha Village?"

"you!"

Danzo Shimura was furious.

He rushed over immediately upon hearing the news of the attack on the Root base.

But unexpectedly, Tsunade received orders from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Damn!

What exactly is this old buddy of his planning?
Is Hiruzen Sarutobi just going to disregard their decades-long friendship like this?

"Who knows if your Hokage warrant is fake?"

Danzo Shimura gripped his cane tighter and asked, "Even if it's true, does the Hokage's order say you can force your way into the Root base?"

"That's definitely not the case."

Tsunade put away the Hokage's warrant and said, "But since your Root organization violated the rules first, I'm just following the rules."

"What kind of rule is there for forcibly breaking into the root base?"

"I asked Shimura Danzo with an angry look on his face."

"I'm going to do it anyway, what can you do about it?"

Tsunade asked confidently.

In terms of being unreasonable, she is even more unreasonable than Danzo Shimura.

"You...didn't you say you followed the rules?"

Danzo Shimura was so angry with her that he wanted to use Kotoamatsukami.

However, upon discovering that Itachi Uchiha was also present, he dared not use it.

After all, his Kotoamatsukami originated from Uchiha Shisui.

Danzo Shimura was unaware that Itachi Uchiha had already learned the truth from Shisui Uchiha.

His concern was that Itachi Uchiha would report the matter to Hiruzen Sarutobi.

In that case, he would have no way to defend himself, and it would directly confirm the fact that he had ambushed Uchiha Shisui.

Furthermore, he also wanted to use Kotoamatsukami to control Tsunade, and no matter how lenient Hiruzen Sarutobi was with him, he would never allow it.

"Rules are dead, people are alive."

Tsunade smiled faintly and said, "I'm taking Aburame Torune with me. If you have any questions, just ask the old man."

"Aburame Takes Root?"

Danzo Shimura then understood Tsunade's purpose in forcibly entering the Root base.

Damn the Aburame clan!
He immediately realized what was happening.

The Aburame clan has definitely sided with Tsunade.

A sense of panic arose in Shimura Danzo's heart.

Tsunade really does want to compete for the Hokage position!
How could he possibly win against that on his own?
"Walk."

Tsunade glanced at him, snorted coldly, and walked past him.

Kitazawa, along with Aburame Torune, quickly followed.

Kakashi Hatake, Itachi Uchiha, and other Anbu members vanished from the spot.

Danzo Shimura remained frozen in place.

He desperately wanted to order Root to kill Tsunade and Kitazawa.

But he knew the consequences of doing so were something he couldn't afford.

Even without Hiruzen Sarutobi's intervention, Jiraiya and the others would not let him go.

"Ahhh!"

After they left, Danzo Shimura finally lost his temper and roared in fury, "Damn it! You just wait!"

The Root ninjas nearby, seeing their leader so distraught for the first time, knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

[Current Mission: Retrieve Aburame Tribute from Root's grasp.]

[Quest Reward: Seal of Eradicating the Curse of Tongues.]

[The host has completed the mission; reward issued.]

As soon as Kitazawa left the Root training base, a system notification appeared in front of him.

A flood of information rushed into my mind.

The Seal of the Extinction of the Tongue is a unique sealing technique of the Root in the original work.

All ninjas who joined Root would have this technique implanted in their tongues by Danzo Shimura.

Its effect is simple: if the person being treated tries to say something specific, their whole body will go numb, and they will be unable to speak or move.

There are two ways to resolve this.

Either the caster cancels the spell, or it is automatically canceled after the caster dies.

In his previous life, Kitazawa had wondered, when watching anime, if we can't speak, can we write by hand?

But now that I have mastered the seal to eradicate the root of tongue-related troubles, I understand how powerful it is.

It is triggered whenever a thought arises.

It's impossible, whether you speak or write it.

"Kitazawa, just send him back to the Aburame clan."

Upon returning to Konoha, Tsunade said, "I'm going to the Hokage's office to tell the old man about the situation."

Taking Aburame Torune away wasn't enough; she wanted to make Hiruzen Sarutobi thoroughly understand Root's recruitment procedures.

"Ok."

Kitazawa nodded and agreed.

"One more thing."

Tsunade took a few steps, then suddenly turned back and said, "Starting tomorrow, you will learn superhuman strength from me."

"what?"

Kitazawa was taken aback.

He really didn't expect it.

"I did not mean."

Tsunade snorted and said, "I found your battle today too drawn out and not satisfying enough."

Isn't that how all ninjas use ninjutsu?

Kitazawa thought to himself, but he was still very happy.

Superhuman strength is a genuine and powerful physical technique with an extremely high potential; it can even shatter Susanoo with a single punch.
