Konoha: Who's the good guy?

Click~

Shortly after Danzo's shadow clone disappeared, the previously closed office door was pushed open.

He looked at the four Root ninjas who bowed to him at the same time.

Danzo, dressed in a black combat suit and carrying a ninja sword on his back, stepped into the office.

The previous barrier technique, Dream Bubble, contracted inwards from the walls.

Standing at the four corners of the office, the four people under the genjutsu had their chakra circulation forcibly interrupted for a moment, so it was not surprising that they were able to wake up from the genjutsu.

Looking at the mountain scenery, which seemed like a dreamlike bubble, I slumped on the sofa.

Danzo returned to his previous seat and sat down.

"You're too arrogant. Strength isn't everything for a ninja. Blind confidence will only make you lose the most important quality of a ninja."

Danzo slowly began brewing tea again, his calm demeanor concealing an air of superiority.

So what if he's stronger than Jiraiya?

Everyone has weaknesses; as long as you understand the intelligence and make corresponding arrangements, you can succeed.

Even the strongest person can only surrender.

What this world has no shortage of is the means to restrain the strong!

"So your true form has revealed itself?"

Restrained on the sofa, Yamanaka Kei looked at the brightly lit entry interface on Danzo's body and immediately confirmed that this was indeed Danzo's true form.

"Since your true form is already bound here, why shouldn't I appear before you in my true form?"

Danzo's hands continued moving.

After washing the teacup that was originally covered in medicine, a scarlet light flowed in his eyes, and the three-tomoe Sharingan appeared.

While the Sharingan genjutsu interfered with Yamanaka Keishin's consciousness.

His hands began to form hand seals rapidly.

On the dark walls surrounding the room, intricate, unknown jutsu patterns lit up once more, echoing the chakra aura emanating from Danzo.

"To become part of the root, to become the sharpest ninja sword in my hand, let us..."

"Sigh~ Every time I do so much preparation, my opponent can't even cooperate with me properly in nesting."

Shan Zhongjing sighed softly.

Snap snap~

The crisp sound of clapping came from all four corners of the room.

The four Root ninjas who were still hiding in the corner stood up at the same time.

They clapped together in a strange way.

The powerful Yin Release energy shattered Danzo's three-tomoe Sharingan's mental defenses almost instantly.

This caused him to become completely immersed in the illusion.

sigh~

The shadow clone of Yamanaka Kei appeared beside the teacup he had been holding earlier.

He grabbed the body that was bound by the illusion and vanished from the office using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

After a while.

Yamanaka Kei, in his true form, returned to the dark office with Kushina.

Danzo watched as his Sharingan with its three tomoe eyes spun wildly, his face contorted in extreme pain, curled up on the ground convulsing, utterly unable to break free from the genjutsu.

Kushina, still in her magical girl transformation, was filled with anger, her knuckles cracking as she pressed them together.

How dare you scheme against her boyfriend!

If there's even a single good piece of meat on this guy today, I'll change my name to Kushina!

"Don't touch him, he's dirty."

Yamanaka Kei patted Kushina's head and nodded slightly to the shadow clones around him.

Two shadow clones opened the office door and stood at the entrance to block any Root members who might arrive unexpectedly.

The other two shadow clones quickly searched the office to see if there were any traps they hadn't discovered yet.

"Hmph~ Jing, you actually used your true form to withstand the sealing technique of the Earth Spider Clan just now, that was way too risky!"

Kushina put one hand on her small waist and hummed twice in dissatisfaction.

"Isn't it because of you!"

Yamanaka Kei patted Kushina's head, praising his girlfriend.

Hehe~

Kushina raised her little face, clearly enjoying the praise.

After enjoying her boyfriend's intimate gestures, she finally asked a question.

"How come Danzo, who is so cautious, didn't notice you forming hand seals to perform a ninjutsu just now?"

"Perhaps clapping is an art?"

Shan Zhongjing chuckled softly.

There's no rule that says you have to touch your fingertips together when you clap your hands!

Hashirama Senju could unleash ninjutsu with a simple clinking of his fists.

With the blessing of the term "zero-frame start", is there a problem with him clapping his hands to activate an illusion?

Danzo's preparations were indeed quite thorough.

When Yamanaka Kei first entered the underground training space, the special barrier mixed in with the anti-perception barrier had a strong interference effect on the shadow clone.

Normal shadow clones will explode instantly when they pass through the barrier.

Clearly, that was to test whether the one reporting from the root was his true form.

After confirming that it was indeed the original entity.

The old man used a shadow clone to distract him, while secretly adding a large amount of colorless and odorless drugs to the tea.

Without sufficient medical knowledge, one might contract the virus on the spot.

Even if you manage to avoid the tea laced with drugs.

The four Root ninjas can also work together to create a special sealing barrier, as well as the barrier technique "Dream Bubble" that covers the entire office.

If it were someone else, this old man would probably have succeeded.

Unfortunately, this guy chose the wrong opponent.

From the very beginning, Shan Zhongjing knew that this old guy had no good intentions.

Before reporting to the Root, he left behind a total of thirty shadow clones at home.

They left the Flying Thunder God Technique mark on the elevator at the base, in hidden places on each floor, and on the body of Squad Leader B.

Upon entering the office, the system's abilities allowed him to immediately see that Danzo behind the desk was not the real Danzo.

By clapping while praising Danzo's tea ceremony, he instantly used illusion magic to bewitch everyone in the office.

After leaving the Flying Thunder God mark on the teacup.

He then activated the perception barrier that covered the entire Leaf Village, notifying his shadow clone and Kushina to prepare.

In order to draw out Danzo's true form and prevent this old man from endlessly nesting dolls.

His physical body was truly bound by illusions and illusions at that time.

Only after Danzo's shadow clones disappeared did his own shadow clones appear, replacing the four Root ninjas with shadow clones.

"What do we do now?"

Kushina's gaze swept over all the decorations in the office.

He picked up a foot-long piece of cardboard and kept poking at Danzo, whose face was contorted in pain.

"Let's figure out the most important things first."

Yamanaka Kei clapped his hands together and slapped Danzo on the back of the head.

All the Root ninjas were marked with the Tongue-Severing Seal by Danzo.

This ninjutsu is extremely complicated. Once the old man dies, the ninjutsu will disappear directly, and the Root organization will also be thrown into turmoil.

To fully take over the power of the Roots, this hidden danger must be dealt with first.

He transferred control of the seal that eradicates tongue-related calamities to himself.

The memory-reading technique invaded Danzo's mind.

Shan Zhongjing quickly began searching for ways to control the seal of the root of the tongue disaster, as well as methods of casting, dispelling, and transferring the spell.

In just a short time, he mastered the sealing technique upon which the root of existence depends.

After finishing his business, he quickly began to review Danzo's memories.

A series of recent shocking images have left the mountain scenery looking rather disgusted.

My eyes...

With his personal bodyguard Ryoma Aburame and researcher Tanuki Shigaraki, they are unparalleled in both offense and defense.

This old Deng...

and many more!

Is this guy really planning to make a move against Hiruzen Sarutobi?

Oh my god!

Skipping over these memories that gave Yamanaka Kei goosebumps, Yamanaka Kei finally jumped to the memory fragments related to roots.

The composition of Root's personnel, the structure of its research base, the sources and destinations of its funding, information on the heads of each department, the various missions currently being carried out, and the spies and agents from various ninja villages...

Countless tedious and chaotic pieces of information were quickly entered into the memory palace.
