After being tricked into joining the Jashin Cult, Hozuki Mangetsu never leaked any information about them, which means that Hozuki Mangetsu is one of their own.
There's no need to make your own people unhappy for a few hundred curse points.
After it was over, Danzo didn't say anything, and didn't even glance at Hozuki Mangetsu and the others, and continued on his way on his own.
Clearly, Hozuki Mangetsu's way of expressing his dissatisfaction was far too childish. Let alone breaking his defenses, it would be a sign that his temperament was not well-developed enough to even glance at him.
This kind of person is too low-level to even be worth his time.
On the other side, Shinji saw that Hozuki Mangetsu's expression was not very good, so he could only whisper, "If you really want to get revenge, we'll kill these guys and then run away. Anyway, we're still some distance from Konoha, so we can make it in time."
Good heavens, they're just stirring up trouble!
Hozuki Mangetsu was momentarily tempted, but then said no.
If Danzo and the others were really dead, that would be truly inexplicable.
At that time, even the Hidden Mist Village will be implicated.
So no matter how unhappy they were, they could only keep it to themselves and wait until they arrived in Konoha to hand it over to the Hokage to deal with.
Even if people openly ignore it, there's nothing he can do.
After all, going through the motions without putting in effort and making a mistake are two different things.
They sent people to help for free, so we can't expect them to fight to the bitter end. What's wrong with them just slacking off?
You disagree?
You have to swallow your anger even if you're not happy about it!
It must be said that this is true in any world: only when a country becomes strong can it stand firm against external forces; otherwise, it can only choose to endure.
Shinji wasn't surprised by Hozuki Mangetsu's rejection. He was currently pondering something: "It seems the Yamanaka clan's secret techniques also belong to the Yin attribute nature transformation..."
Could he perhaps consider finding a way to manage this "Sleeping Dragon" of the mountain clan and borrow a few hundred million chakra?
Of the seven chakra natures, he has only collected the water nature.
It all came down to negotiating with Mei Terumi.
Otherwise, why would he still accompany Danzo to the Land of Fire after encountering such a troublesome character?
Of course, Mei Terumi, as the Mizukage, would not personally replenish his mana, but instead ordered a group of Kirigakure ninja who were temporarily without missions to be brought in.
Shinji was not going to be polite to them. He immediately took out the [Six-Eyed (Eye of the Azure Sky) Modification Scroll (Unique)] and had them inject chakra into it one by one.
Although the participants were all genin and chunin with limited chakra reserves, they had the advantage in numbers.
In the end, it took nearly thirty people to fill the required water attribute, and the other attributes also grew a little bit along the way.
Therefore, Shinji came to Konoha with his own purpose.
Perhaps the remaining six types of chakra can be collected in Konoha.
As he was pondering this, suddenly a barrage of shuriken and kunai rained down from all directions.
Shinji suddenly looked up, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.
Some of the kunai even had explosive tags attached to them?!
This was absolutely a meticulously planned assassination!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A series of explosions startled the birds in the forest, causing them to fly out in panic.
Intense flames and billowing smoke immediately shot into the sky.
Immediately afterwards, five figures appeared quickly. They did not wear any headbands or other items that could prove their identity, but they wore animal masks on their faces.
These people immediately formed hand seals without any hesitation as soon as they appeared.
Si-chen-mao-yin.
Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!
The five of them simultaneously unleashed a straight stream of scorching flame, completely disregarding the aftermath of the explosion, determined to kill everyone inside.
"stop!"
After unleashing their ninjutsu, one of them sensed something was amiss. He gestured to stop the bombardment and instead stared intently at the flames burning in the arena.
There seems to be something inside.
Although they are both red.
Suddenly a strong wind blew by, causing the firelight to flicker violently and revealing more of what was inside.
There was no one in sight, only a huge, blood-red hexagonal crystal standing there.
Upon seeing this, the five of them instantly had a bad feeling.
They were preparing to continue the attack and forcibly destroy that monstrous thing inside.
But at that moment, the blood-red hexagonal crystal suddenly exploded, transforming into countless sharp pyramids that shot out in all directions.
Three people died on the spot, one person was seriously injured and collapsed, and another person was slightly injured and tried to escape.
""return"!"
A voice suddenly rang in the ears of the fleeing man, and to his utter horror, he was instantly pulled back by an invisible force.
The remaining flames had already been extinguished by Hozuki Mangetsu's Water Release technique.
Everyone was unharmed, including Danzo and others.
The incident happened suddenly, and the group was very close together. If Shinji wanted to protect himself, he wouldn't have been able to push Danzo and the others out.
Moreover, his intuition told him that these people were very likely after Hozuki Mangetsu or Danzo.
If Danzo dies, he'll have to take the blame.
If Danzo doesn't die, this feud will be set in stone. If he doesn't want to be constantly targeted by that cunning old fox, Shinji might have to kill him right away.
With a full arm of Sharingan and Izanagi, Danzo is unlikely to die.
So Shinji stopped worrying about it and let the old man off easy.
"Who sent you? Tell me!"
Shan Zhongfeng quickly subdued the enemy and prepared to interrogate the person behind the scenes.
Nobody's stupid. That whole thing must have been premeditated, not something someone did on a whim.
However, they underestimated the determination of these people.
The moment he realized he couldn't escape, he bit open the poison sac hidden in his teeth. When Shan Zhongfeng questioned him, he didn't say anything before vomiting blood and dying.
"They're suicide squad members!"
The mountain breeze subtly changed color.
Then, the woman named Aburame Torune over there said, "This one over here also committed suicide by poisoning himself, leaving no survivors."
It must be said that Danzo's composure was quite good; he remained extremely calm throughout the entire process, probably because he was confident in his long life and therefore not afraid at all.
"Examine the body and see if you can find any clues."
After saying this, Danzo continued to stand there with his eyes closed, resting.
He was more interested in what had just happened than in the fact that someone wanted to kill him.
[Chapter 188. Danzo's Uprising (Fifth Update, Please Subscribe!)]
"When the attack first started, what sprayed out of that 'water sac' was probably the blood of some kind of animal... or human, the Blood Limit that controls blood? But the Blood Pool Clan should have been extinct by now, and the opponent's eyes don't look like the legendary Blood Dragon Eyes. Strange."
"And finally, how did he manage to capture the fleeing enemy?"
Danzo closed his eyes, replaying the scene in his mind, trying to find out the ninjutsu or tricks Shinji used.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he thought about it, he made no discovery.
Shinji only said "come back," and the enemy actually flew back.
"Could it really be because of the sound? Hypnosis or illusion?"
Danzo was puzzled and felt that this explanation was unreasonable. "Come back" could just be a sentence that came out in the situation at the time, such as shouting "Die!" when attacking and shouting "Don't run!" when chasing.
"Lord Danzo, these people are unusually clean; they have no items that can prove their identities, except for this mask..."
Danzo opened his eyes and glanced at the animal mask that Yamanaka Fu had brought over.
"Interesting. Are you implying that the people who attacked us just now were from Konoha's Anbu?"
"Your subordinate dares not."
"Hehe, put all these things away, we'll talk about it when we get back."
"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
Given Danzo's experience in making fun of others, it's not hard to see that these people were deliberately trying to shift the blame onto Konoha's Anbu.
Or perhaps it was to arouse his suspicion!
As long as he is alive, these masks will inevitably raise the possibility that someone in Konoha wants to get rid of him.
And he would certainly consider this possibility.
This shows they had planned ahead. If the plan succeeds, everyone will die here, and what will happen when Konoha's Anbu masks appear at the scene?
At that time, Kirigakure and Konoha will inevitably become suspicious of each other, and the already unstable alliance will be cracked again.
If only one of them dies, the surviving one will be in big trouble.
If the assassination fails, it will plant a thorn in everyone's heart.
The human heart is the most unpredictable thing. Once the seed of doubt is planted, it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
Danzo sneered inwardly. He had completely analyzed the whole situation; these people had actually plotted against him.
However, it's not so easy for him to make a profit!
Danzo didn't bother guessing who was behind it all; instead, he started thinking about what he could gain from the incident. After all, no matter how the game was played, he was the 'victim' of this event!
