Saiyans in the Naruto world

"Go, wind."

Orochimaru sensed this at the same time and immediately gave an order to his subordinates.

"Yes."

As soon as he finished speaking, the wind disappeared.

As Danzo hurried on his journey, he felt increasingly uneasy. Since leaving Konoha, his unease had grown stronger. After running for an hour through the forest, far from Konoha, this unease had become so intense that the hairs on his body stood on end. It was a feeling he had developed after countless brushes with death—a sixth sense, as people called it. This feeling had saved Danzo many times before.

"stop."

Danzo stopped and spoke. The Root ninjas were well-trained and obeyed orders without question. Upon receiving Danzo's command, they immediately halted.

"Come out! Don't hide."

Danzo spoke directly ahead, his body tense, ready for battle at any moment. The Root members were the same. They had long since disregarded life and death, obeying only Danzo's orders. Danzo was their faith.

Orochimaru clapped his hands and led Karot and Shisui out of the darkness.

"As expected of Elder Danzo. He's still so vigilant."

Danzo spoke after hearing Orochimaru's insincere words.

"Orochimaru, I'm about to leave Konoha. Please spare my life! If we fight to the death, we'll both suffer losses. Let's just leave each other alone and go our separate ways, okay?"

"Elder Danzo, are you out of your mind? I've been waiting for you here all night, do you think I just wanted to see you off the border?"

"The loss doesn't matter, what matters is that you're going to die."

After Orochimaru finished speaking, his eyes sharpened.

"Then there's no way to talk about it."

Tensions were high between the two sides, with Danzo leading the Root clan to strike first in an attempt to seize the initiative.

Orochimaru waved his hand, and ninjas who had been lying in ambush leaped out of the forest. They faced off against Root. His former partner, Kaze, clashed with Aburame Torune, while Orochimaru went to fight Danzo.

"Senior, should we go?"

"Standing behind Carrot, Shisui asked."

"What do you mean, 'go on stage'? We're here to watch the show."

Carrot pulled out a bag of snacks and watched the chaotic battle with great interest. The Root ninjas' reckless attacks were being held back by Orochimaru's ninja army. Upon closer inspection, it became clear that Orochimaru's ninja army possessed an abnormally high rate of regeneration. If you slashed them, they would recover in less than a second; but if you were slashed by them, you would be seriously injured. It seemed Orochimaru's research into Hashirama's cells had yielded impressive results. Only Hashirama's cells in the ninja world possessed this ability; truly, even though he was no longer in the game, his legend lived on.

Orochimaru's army planned to slowly wear down Danzo's Root. The Root ninjas could see this, but they had no effective way to deal with it. Death was only a matter of time.

The life-or-death struggle between the longtime partners, Kaze and Aburame Torune, was much simpler. There was no intelligence analysis or ninjutsu combat; only the clinking of kunai clashing—they knew each other too well. Constantly on missions, constantly assassinating targets, they spent more time together than with their families, knowing each other inside and out. Their strengths were evenly matched.

When the kunai was thrust at Aburame Torune, this time Aburame Torune did not dodge, but instead made no defense, allowing the kunai to pierce into his body.

Chapter 90 Chase

When Kaze saw that Aburame Torune had lowered his defense, it was too late to withdraw his attack. He could only watch helplessly as his kunai pierced his brother's chest.

"puff."

The oil woman spat out a mouthful of blood.

Feng hugged Qu Gen, who was about to fall to the ground, and said.

"Why? Why do this?"

"Cough, cough."

"This is the best way; dying at your hands is the last choice I can make."

Kaze and Torune joined Root together. At that time, Danzo, though radical, still aimed to protect Konoha. However, as time passed, Danzo changed. He began to distrust everyone, even Kaze and Torune, who were among his earliest followers. He subjected them to the "Tongue-Severing Seal," turning them into Danzo's puppets, devoid of their own thoughts. Torune died, fulfilling his loyalty to Danzo one last time.

"Wind, live in the sunlight! Take care of the home for me, I can't go back."

After saying his last words, Qu Gen received a nod of approval from Feng, and then closed his eyes with a smile.

“Take the root.”

Feng hugged Qu Gen's body and shouted loudly.

"Senior, peace is really hard to achieve!"

After witnessing the fierce fighting within the Root organization, Shisui spoke in a heavy tone.

"Yes, every peace is inevitably accompanied by death."

"But this is not a reason for us to fear the road ahead."

"We cannot leave our work to the next generation. The same goes for death."

As Shisui watched Karot's retreating figure, his resolve hardened. He couldn't let anyone ruin Karot's plans; he believed only Karot could bring peace to the ninja world.

Danzo, who was fighting Orochimaru, heard the wind's cry. He knew his subordinates were likely dead. However, this did not affect his actions in the slightest; he continued his fierce battle with Orochimaru.

"Wind Release, Great Breakthrough".

Danzo used a ninjutsu that he could unleash instantly, aiming at Orochimaru.

"Triple Rashomon"

The ninjutsu struck Rashomon.

"Bang, bang, bang."

After breaking through the third Rashomon, the effect of Wind Release also disappeared. Despite Danzo's advanced age, he still possesses Hashirama cells within his body, so his strength has not decreased but rather increased.

"Wind Escape, Vacuum Jade."

Danzo spat out a large storm bomb, intending to strike Orochimaru during the opening after Orochimaru's Rashomon was shattered.

"Psychic art."

Orochimaru immediately summoned his summoning beast, Manda.

"Orochimaru, this time I'm going to..."

Before he could finish speaking, he was struck by Danzo's Wind Release technique and sent straight back to his hometown. Orochimaru's outrageous move left Karot and Shisui, who were watching the battle, completely dumbfounded. Using a summoned beast as a shield was a first for Orochimaru.

Orochimaru summoned five or more snakes. The Earth Dragon Cave had plenty of snakes, a dense swarm hanging from the trees and crawling all over the ground. It was like entering a snake's den.

Carrot immediately backed away; it was disgusting. The saliva secreted from the snake's body almost made Carrot vomit his dinner. After Orochimaru finished fighting, Carrot would definitely give him some feedback, telling him not to be so freakish when there were spectators present in the future. He should tone it down a bit.

The battle between Orochimaru's army and Root was nearing its end. After the last Root member was stabbed to death, Orochimaru's subordinates began to systematically clean up the battlefield.

"Elder Danzo, all your men are gone. Why don't you consider going to keep them company?"

Orochimaru, like a snake spouting ivory, bluntly told Danzo to die. Danzo knew he couldn't escape without eliminating Orochimaru. Danzo was unaware that Karot and Shisui Uchiha were lurking in the shadows; if he had known, he certainly wouldn't have resisted. This was all Orochimaru's doing; he wanted to test his skills on Danzo, as Orochimaru had already injected Hashirama's cells into his body.

"Boom."

The main entrance to the Hokage Building was broken into from the outside.

"Lord Hokage, Danzo has fled."

An undercover agent quickly relayed the information. He was the first undercover agent to wake up. He had specifically chosen this time to report.

"What? How could he possibly have escaped?"

Yuan Fei Ri Zhan feigned shock, his expression perfectly controlled.

Jiraiya, the two advisors, and Minato, who were all present, were waiting for the Anbu's answer.

"It was Root. Root members used illusion magic on us to rescue Danzo. We lost many members."

"This is outrageous! Danzo, that bastard!"

Jiraiya's anger flared instantly upon hearing of the Anbu's sacrifice. Danzo had actually attacked a member of the village's ninja. The reason Jiraiya and Minato were at the Hokage Building that evening was to find out what Hiruzen Sarutobi had done to Danzo. He felt deeply sorry for Tsunade seeing her distress.

"Go after him immediately, bring Danzo back to me."

"Jiraiya, Minato, you two will lead the Jonin team and the Anbu to capture Danzo."

Since the incident has occurred, remedial measures must be taken. Furthermore, Hiruzen Yuan's order was only to capture him alive, not to kill him. There are readily available candidates for this mission: Jiraiya and Minato, the master-disciple duo, are the most suitable. This will enhance Minato's reputation.

"is teacher."

"Yes, Hokage-sama."

Jiraiya and Minato went to organize the personnel.

"Hiruzen, let's go down too."

The two advisors left, leaving only Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Hokage's office.

"Danzo, you've been given a chance, so don't take it for granted."

Yuan Fei Ri Zhan's voice was very soft, only he could hear it.

However, at this time, every Jonin received a mission. Fugaku Uchiha, the Hyuga brothers, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, Kakashi, and some civilian Jonin were all gathering at the village entrance.

"Danzo has defected, and the Hokage has ordered us to capture him. Understand?"

Jiraiya announced Hiruzen Sarutobi's order to the ninja.

"Yes."

"Out!"

Before Jiraiya could finish speaking, Tsunade appeared with Kato Shizune.
