Naruto: My Chat Group Spans History...

After calming Yahiko and Nagato down, Minato turned his gaze to Danzo on the hilltop.

"Elder Danzo, I have confirmed that this is a misunderstanding."

"Alright, you take your men back to the village first. I'll handle things here."

Minato spoke casually, but his words made Danzo's face darken like the clouds before a storm.

Leave? He was only one step away from the legendary Rinnegan, how could he be willing to give up now?

"Minato Namikaze, are you saying that the lives of the Rain Country ninjas were lost in vain just because of a few words from you?"

Danzo still clung to the fabricated charge and remained fixated on the Akatsuki organization.

Seeing that Danzo was still clinging to this unfounded claim,

Minato Namikaze's expression immediately turned cold, showing no mercy and not even addressing him as "elder," but calling him by his name directly.

"Shimura Danzo, I don't want to waste words. You know best how Amegakure died."

"Now, in my capacity as Hokage, I order you to immediately take your men back to Konoha."

This was tantamount to tearing apart the surface of peace, and Danzo's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

He glared angrily at Hanzo beside him:

"You so-called demigod, others are causing trouble at your doorstep, and you don't even dare to say a word?"

He wanted to win over Hanzo so they could launch a joint attack on the Akatsuki.

Just as Hanzo was about to speak, Minato's voice rang out softly again:

"Lord Hanzo, this is an internal matter of Konoha. It would be best if you did not interfere."

These words carry a strong warning: it's okay to stand by and watch, but if you take action, you'll pay the price.

After careful consideration, Hanzo decided to protect himself.

"I also believe this is a misunderstanding. Well then, I'll take my leave now. You can handle the rest yourselves."

Having said that, Hanzo resolutely led his men away without the slightest hesitation.

"you……"

Danzo was incredulous. Was this still the demigod who had once dominated the ninja world? He had actually backed down because of a junior?

Upon hearing Danzo's voice, Hanzo merely let out a cold snort.

Just kidding. I originally thought the Akatsuki was a small organization with no powerful figures, and that I could probably take them down.

But they had the Fourth Hokage backing them up, so what was the point of fighting?

Just for the lives of a few so-called Rain Ninja?

Just kidding, don't take it seriously, bro.

With Hanzo gone, Danzo was left to face Minato Namikaze alone.

However, he clearly overestimated his own strength and underestimated Minato.

"Don't try to intimidate me with the title of Hokage. You're just a junior who climbed to the Hokage throne based on a few achievements."

"Today I will punish the wicked and eliminate the Akatsuki!" Danzo declared.

Minato lowered his eyes slightly and uttered only one word: "Oh?"

Before he could finish speaking, a sharp kunai was already silently pressed against Danzo's throat, ready to open a bloody path for him at any moment.

"What?!" Danzo was dumbfounded.

He was on guard the whole time, how could this be...? Doesn't the Flying Thunder God Technique require a prior mark to teleport?

He was clearly on guard against this move!

"Lord Danzo!" the attendant exclaimed.

The Root members around them were all astonished; they hadn't noticed Minato Namikaze's silent approach at all.

After being jolted awake, everyone drew their swords and pressed closer to Minato, their eyes filled with ruthlessness, showing no regard for the Hokage.

"Don't move!" Danzo shouted, stopping his men.

Damn these idiots, are they trying to kill me by coming here at this time?!

"When exactly did you...?"

Danzo gritted his teeth, his gaze fixed on Minato, his words filled with disbelief.

But Minato Namikaze clearly had no intention of explaining, his face as cold as ice:

"Shimura Danzo, you have openly defied the Hokage's orders. I have the right to kill you on the spot."

"I'm giving you one last chance: leave now, or you'll face the consequences."

Feeling the chilling killing intent emanating from his neck, Danzo broke out in a cold sweat.

Since Minato Namikaze became Hokage, he had always been all smiles, and Danzo had never seen such a terrifying killing intent emerge from him.

Despite this, Danzo still harbored a sliver of hope, believing that Minato wouldn't dare to harm him.

"I am an elder of Konoha. I don't believe you would dare to kill me."

Danzo's face turned ashen, but he remained stubborn to the end.

Minato Namikaze chuckled and responded to Danzo's doubts with his actions.

The sharp kunai went straight for Danzo's throat.

Danzo's pupils contracted sharply, and he dodged away in a flash.

"you……"

Danzo clutched his bleeding throat, his eyes wide with disbelief.

If he hadn't reacted quickly, the kunai would have pierced his throat.

He really dares to make a move!

"Lord Danzo!"

All members of Root immediately surrounded Danzo, their weapons all aimed at Minato Namikaze.

As long as Danzo gives the order, they will not hesitate to attack this nominal leader.

However, Danzo stopped them.

This wasn't out of a change of heart, but because he knew that even if they all went out together, they would be no match for Minato Namikaze.

This is the true power of the Yellow Flash!

"retreat!"

Danzo glared fiercely at Minato Namikaze, his eyes filled with barely concealed resentment.

Because of this person, he had to give up the Rinnegan that was about to be obtained.

Danzo led the Root group away, and Minato Namikaze only glanced at them briefly without interfering further.

He withdrew his kunai and turned to help the purple-haired girl up.

"Are you alright?"

Minato Namikaze's signature smile reappeared on his face.

"No...it's nothing, thank you, Hokage-sama."

Xiao Nan was somewhat flattered. The person in front of her was the Shadow of a nation, high above everyone else, yet he treated her so kindly.

"Konan, Konan!"

An excited Yahiko pulled the hurried Nagato along as they rushed over.

I thought I was going to die today, but I didn't expect my senior brother, the Hokage, to appear unexpectedly.

So powerful it's terrifying!

Just standing there terrified Hanzo, who was known as a demigod.

"Thank you, Minato-senpai," Yahiko said again.

Minato nodded slightly and chuckled, "Compared to me, I think she probably needs your company more."

"Konan!"

"Yahiko, Nagato."

The three members of the Akatsuki organization reunited.

Seeing this heartwarming scene, Minato did not disturb it, but simply withdrew quietly.

He took out the Flying Thunder God Kunai and vanished in the blink of an eye.

It's time to deal with Danzo.

The reason we didn't take direct action before was...

Firstly, the journey had depleted too much chakra, requiring time to recover;

Secondly, through Yuuki's video, Minato learned that Danzo possessed a trump card called the Reverse Four Symbols Seal.

If they push him too far, it might endanger Yahiko and the others.

Therefore, Minato temporarily released Danzo.

but……

Even if you were given a few more minutes to live, what difference would it make?

....................................

Somewhere in the Land of Rain, a hidden path winds through a dense jungle, connecting to Konoha Village.

Danzo and his group, like Tarzan, leaped rapidly among the tall trees, eager to return to Konoha.

"Minato Namikaze!" Danzo gritted his teeth, his anger almost bursting out of his chest.

"You just wait..."

He secretly vowed that he was not the kind of person who could tolerate hatred without seeking revenge.

"Hmph, no matter what your purpose is, daring to attack an elder of Konoha, even if you are the Hokage, it cannot stop me from going to the Daimyo to seek justice."

Danzo pondered to himself, "Perhaps this is an opportunity to knock him off the Hokage throne."

"Orochimaru has defected, and Jiraiya and Tsunade aren't in the village. What will happen then..."

"In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, besides me, who else can step forward and take on the responsibility of Hokage?" Thinking of this, Danzo couldn't help but sneer.

This series of changes seems to have a silver lining, and is not necessarily all misfortune.

Just as he was lost in his fantasy of becoming Hokage in the future, his subordinates in front of him suddenly stopped in their tracks.

"What's going on?" Danzo asked, his brow furrowed.

When he stopped, he was astonished to find Minato Namikaze standing atop the giant tree in front of him, staring at them expressionlessly.

Danzo became alert and suddenly looked around.

As expected, the Flying Thunder God Kunai were scattered among the nearby trees, and they were now in the center of an encirclement of these deadly weapons.

Cold sweat trickled down Danzo's forehead.

A terrible thought occurred to him…

"Minato Namikaze, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, everything came to an abrupt end.

Danzo's twisted face drew a cruel arc in the air as death approached, his eyes filled with disbelief.

He couldn't accept that Minato Namikaze was so resolute.

How dare he do this? Does he really think he can control everything in Konoha?

Danzo, filled with endless resentment, closed his eyes forever.

Before the golden flash, everything seemed too fragile, not even having a chance to resist.

"Lord Danzo!"

The Root members around him had eyes that looked like they were about to burst. They immediately drew their weapons and attacked Minato Namikaze in unison.

But in an instant, a golden light flashed, and eighty percent of the people fell to the ground, while the remaining few trembled and dared not move.

"Hokage, how dare you lay a hand on Lord Danzo! The Third Hokage will not forgive you!" a Root member shouted almost frantically.

Minato Namikaze glanced at him lightly, his tone calm: "It's simple. No one can leave here alive, so no one will know the truth."

The man's pupils dilated suddenly. Could such words really have come from Minato Namikaze? Was he really the legendary hero?

"Let's blame it on Danzo, that cancerous tumor."

Minato Namikaze's voice came from behind, and then, the Root member fell silent forever.

Witnessing this scene, the remaining "Root" members completely lost their will to fight and scattered and fled.

Minato raised a kunai: "Flying Thunder God Technique..."

Soon after, the forest fell silent; all signs of life had vanished.

After Minato cleaned up the battlefield, Shimura Danzo, the root of Konoha, completely disappeared from this world.
