"We'll go too."

Tsunade said to Jiraiya.

Jiraiya saw deep hatred in Tsunade and Shizune's eyes. He couldn't refuse them; if he did, he didn't know what they would do.

"Okay, but you have to follow orders."

After receiving Tsunade's assurance, Jiraiya waved his hand. All the Jonin rushed into the dense forest, following the trail left by Danzo.

"what!"

Danzo was pierced through the body by Orochimaru's sword, and another life was lost.

"Orochimaru, how did you become so strong?"

After Danzo was killed by Orochimaru one after another, this thought kept lingering in his mind.

Orochimaru licked his lips and said.

"Shouldn't you have guessed it already?"

Chapter 91 Minato Arrives

"you made it?"

Danzo asked Orochimaru in astonishment. He truly hadn't expected Orochimaru to have already succeeded in his research. The worst part was that Orochimaru hadn't told him, even though Danzo had contributed the lion's share to the experiment and now he was the one who had been taken advantage of.

Orochimaru smiled without saying a word, but Danzo saw this as mockery.

"Damn it, I'm going to kill you."

Danzo realized that he had always been the one fooling others, but this time he had personally experienced being fooled. His hatred for Orochimaru had surpassed his desire for the Hokage position.

"Ding, ding."

Sparks flew as the kunai collided, their piercing sound particularly jarring in the quiet night.

Orochimaru is now superior to Danzo in both chakra reserves and physical regeneration, giving him the upper hand throughout the battle. Wielding the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, Orochimaru's blade is unstoppable, severing Danzo's right hand, which was holding a kunai, with a single strike.

Danzo remained unfazed, another kunai appearing in his left hand. With lightning speed, he stabbed the kunai into Orochimaru's body. His smile had barely formed when he sensed something was wrong. This wasn't the feeling of piercing flesh. Just as Danzo had predicted, Orochimaru vanished into a puff of smoke with a "pop."

"Elder Danzo, you're really ruthless! You tricked me into coming forward by offering up one of your hands."

Orochimaru's tone was full of admiration. The more difficult the battle, the more important it is to have a good strategy and know when to sacrifice. That's what makes a decent ninja.

"You figured it out anyway."

Danzo reattached his arm, bandaged it simply, and his arm was completely healed. Don't ask why; it was just an interstitial cell tumor.

"Boom."

Orochimaru quickly formed hand seals, and several coffins emerged from the ground.

"bump."

The coffin opened from the inside, and two people who looked exactly like Orochimaru came out.

"this……."

Danzo had assumed Orochimaru would use the forbidden technique, Impure World Reincarnation. To his surprise, it was Orochimaru inside.

"How good I am to you, Lord Danzo, I use you to test my finished product."

Orochimaru's two clones were created inspired by the White Zetsu that Karot had brought with him. They were perfect puppets; once commands were implanted in their brains, they would act strictly according to instructions. This was also the first time an experimental subject had been created.

"What's happening here?"

When Karot saw the coffin emerge from the ground, he shared Danzo's thought: why would they need to use the Impure World Reincarnation? But to Karot's surprise, Orochimaru emerged from the coffin. Doesn't this ninja world have any taboos? Putting someone in a coffin before they're even dead—doesn't anyone find it disgusting?

“I don’t know about that either.”

Shisui stayed by Orochimaru's side throughout this time, and Orochimaru kept it a secret from everyone.

"It's getting more interesting."

Karot watched as something new appeared in the ninja world. He thought the ninja world would become interesting once the future was revealed.

"kill him."

Orochimaru gave the order to his clone.

"brush."

The two clones were incredibly fast, no less so than Orochimaru himself. Danzo blocked one clone's attack, but was kicked in the back by the other, crashing into a tree and snapping it in two. The two clones wouldn't give Danzo a chance to react; their orders were to kill him. As long as Danzo had a breath left, their attacks wouldn't stop, giving him no chance to use his persuasive skills.

"Ding, ding."

In the dark jungle, the sparks flying from the exchange of weapons were particularly dazzling.

"Boom."

Danzo fell to the ground, leaving a trail. His two clones, wielding kunai, were about to deliver a fatal blow to Danzo.

With a kunai thrust, Danzo vanished with a "bang," turning into a piece of wood—a substitution jutsu. He reappeared behind the two Orochimarus after their fight, and with a "whoosh," the kunai sliced ​​across the back of their necks. Contrary to expectations, no blood flowed. Instead, a white liquid oozed out.

"boom."

The two Orochimarus exploded instantly, taking Danzo with them.

"It can even explode? That's impressive."

Carrot thought the two "Orochimarus" were done for, but he didn't expect there to be a surprise. How does Orochimaru's brain work? He's really playing dirty tricks.

"hiss."

Shisui gasped. On the battlefield, you would lower your guard once the enemy was dead. But with Orochimaru, even if you died, you would explode on the battlefield, making it impossible to defend against.

"What's going on?"

The distant explosion instantly alerted Jiraiya and the others who were rushing along.

"Is it possible that someone is fighting against Danzo's Root organization?"

This was a possibility that Jiraiya had considered.

"Full speed ahead."

No matter who's in front of us, as long as they can stop Danzo and get us there.

"Lord Jiraiya, there's a strong smell of blood ahead."

As Kakashi's summoning beast, Pakku told Kakashi what had happened, and Kakashi then relayed it to Jiraiya.

Seeing the teacher's dilemma, Minato spoke up.

"Teacher, I'll go first!"

He was the fastest among those present. Now everyone was not far from the scene of the incident, and there was no fear that Minato would be surrounded by the enemy. As long as Minato could hold off Danzo, he could buy time for Jiraiya.

Jiraiya assumed the people in front of him were ANBU sent by his teacher, their mission merely to delay Danzo. Now, hearing Kakashi's words, Jiraiya assumed the ANBU had suffered heavy losses.

"Okay, be careful."

Jiraiya had no choice but to agree to Minato's actions.

"brush."

Minato unleashed his full speed, disappearing from everyone's sight like a streak of light. The ninjas on their way were used to it; they had all fought alongside Minato before. Everyone had witnessed Minato's speed.

"Huh? Someone's here."

When Minato arrived at this place, Carrot had already sensed Minato's aura. Minato could deceive everyone present, but he couldn't deceive Carrot. Minato's aura was as dazzling as a firefly in the night.

Hiding behind a tree, Minato saw corpses wearing ANBU masks lying on the ground. He assumed these were Konoha comrades killed by Root. He was about to make a move.

"kindness?"

Carrot sensed something was wrong; why was Minato harboring murderous intent? Then he realized that Minato might have mistaken his target. Danzo's Root and Anbu members wore the same decorations. Since it was an Anbu member who had died there, Minato subconsciously assumed that those moving the corpses were Danzo's Root members, and he wanted to avenge his comrade.

"Minato-senpai, come out!"

Carrot appeared with Shisui, not wanting Orochimaru's subordinates to suffer any losses.

"Carrot, what are you doing here?"

Upon seeing Carrot there, Minato already knew he had made a blunder.

"We're all doing the same thing!"

Carrot had nothing to hide and told him directly.

Chapter 92 The End

From Danzo's escape to the Anbu's report to the Hokage, and the Hokage's personal order for his master to hunt down Danzo, Karot was nowhere to be seen during this time. Now, Karot is here. Minato isn't stupid; otherwise, how could he have become Hokage? Minato understood from Karot's presence that Orochimaru must also be here. Furthermore, Danzo's escape wasn't as simple as it seemed. Perhaps Danzo's every move was part of someone else's calculation. Even more likely, they had infiltrated the Anbu. If Karot knew Minato's wild imagination, he would definitely give him a thumbs up: "You guessed it perfectly!"

Minato was about to head towards the scene of the battle when Carrot blocked his way.

"Ok?"

Minato looked at Carrot with a questioning expression. He just wanted to go and help, but Carrot stopped him.

"Minato-senpai, let's just wait here for the results."

Carrot looked apologetically at Shisui. He didn't want Minato to interfere with Orochimaru and Danzo's battle.
