Chapter 342 Danzo arrives, Obito emerges from the house

Just as the tall ninja lost his voice, the old man beside him also changed his expression drastically.

As a ninja skilled in illusion techniques, his senses were even sharper than his companions'. The moment the Divine Moon Nebula appeared before them, a sense of danger, as if facing a natural enemy, suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, he felt a sudden chill rise from his heels and rush to the back of his neck.

"Long time no see." Shenyue Xingyun stood in front of the two, her eyes cold.

Do you still recognize me?

The old man and the muscular man's cheeks twitched wildly.

They recognize them.

Even if it turns to ashes, I would still recognize it.

As Danzo's trusted subordinates, they had been assigned to deal with the young man before them, but their memories of him were not pleasant.

Upon seeing the Divine Moon Nebula, the old man suddenly felt a dull ache in his shoulders, and the muscular man felt a throbbing pain in his face.

Shen Yue Xingyun's gaze lingered on the muscular man's face for a moment before settling on the old man.

Looking at the latter's extra arms, he asked, "When were they installed?"

"Danzo installed it on you?"

The old man's breath hitched, and he couldn't help but take a step back.

"Don't hit me!"

He said, his voice stern but his tone weak, "Let me tell you, we are here on Lord Danzo's orders!"

"I have an important mission!"

"God... Nebula Jonin, you'd better leave."

As he spoke, he consciously moved closer to the muscular man beside him, as if that would give him more confidence.

Shenyue Xingyun let out a cold laugh.

"On Danzo's orders?"

“I remember the last time you came to see me, it was also on Danzo’s orders.”

Was his order particularly unusual?

The old man swallowed.

Danzo's orders were certainly unusual, and no one in Root ever objected to them. However, when faced with Shingetsu Seiun's orders, he was momentarily unable to refute them.

After all, on the surface, Danzo is the leader of Root, while Shingetsu Seiun is a squad leader of the Anbu. In terms of rank, the two are equals.

"Nebula Jonin... Lord Nebula."

"We were also following orders."

You'd better leave...

“I’ll only say this once,” Shingetsu Seiun interrupted the old man. “Danzo’s orders have no effect on me.”

"Go back and tell Danzo that the Uchiha clan is not a place for Root to interfere. If he has any objections, let him come to me personally."

Hearing his arrogant words, the Root ninjas around him all clenched their fists silently.

Since joining Root under Danzo's leadership, apart from the Hokage, they had never encountered a Konoha ninja who showed such disrespect to Danzo.

The eyes peering through the holes in the masks were filled with anger and sharpness as they looked at the old man, not understanding why he was so timid and hesitant.

Why not just go for it directly?

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the old man inwardly groaned. If he could, he would certainly have preferred to take action directly.

However, the consequences of the behavior will differ depending on the target.

"Lord Nebula, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain ourselves like this."

Shingetsu Nebula: "Is that so?"

"In that case, I'll give you a choice."

As the words fell, a surge of chakra began to course within Shingetsu Seiun's body.

The longsword suddenly appeared out of thin air in his hand.

The old man and the muscular man's expressions changed drastically!

The sword flashed brilliantly, and before their horrified eyes, a white line flashed!

"Click-clack!~"

Two crisp sounds.

The masks on the old man's and the muscular man's faces suddenly shattered.

The shattered masks scratched their faces, leaving bloody marks, but under the lock of the Divine Moon Nebula Sword Light, their eyes widened and they dared not move an inch.

Shenyue Xingyun gripped his sword and said, "You can choose to think of a reason and go back to report yourselves. Or... you can die and let your men take two heads back to report yourselves."

The old man and the muscular man felt like crying.

Is this a multiple-choice question?

This is clearly a death trap question!

Just as they were caught in a dilemma, a deep, resonant voice rang out from behind them.

"God Moon Nebula".

Upon hearing this voice, the old man and the muscular man instantly felt reassured, but then a bitter feeling welled up inside them.

Since we have failed to perform our duties effectively and have needed Lord Danzo's intervention, the next few days will likely be difficult.

With heavy footsteps, Danzo approached Shingetsu Seiun step by step, his sinister gaze carrying a hint of displeasure.

He slowly said, "If I remember correctly, you should be out on a mission with Hiruzen right now."

"You remember that clearly," said Shingetsu Seiun. "Do I have to tell you about something like I was urgently sent back by the Hokage on a temporary mission?"

Danzo stared coldly into Shingetsu Seiun's eyes.

He knew perfectly well that Hiruzen Sarutobi would never send the other party back at a time like this.

But he couldn't refute it.

After all, Shingetsu Seiun was nominally the captain of the Dark Division and Hiruzen Sarutobi's direct subordinate. They were equals and had no right to interfere.

"I will verify this matter with Hiruzen later," Danzo sneered. "But for now, please step aside and let my subordinates carry out their mission."

Shingetsu Nebula: "On a mission?"

"What mission?"

Danzo: "The Nine-Tails' rampage is related to the Uchiha clan. I need to take them away for investigation."

Shingetsu Nebula: "Why today of all days?"

"The Nine-Tails' rampage has been over for so long, why didn't you investigate earlier or later, why did you have to wait until the Hokage was away to investigate?"

"In my opinion, let's wait until the Hokage returns before we talk about it."

Danzo's gaze was serious: "This is the village's decision."

"A resolution?" Shenyue Xingyun asked in confusion, "How come I didn't know about it?"

"Has the Hokage signed the consent form?"

"A Jonin meeting has been held? Such a big event, I should have been invited."

Danzo gritted his teeth: "This is an emergency decision."

Shingetsu Nebula: "Should we make an emergency decision to attack our fellow villagers?"

Danzo took a deep breath and suppressed his anger, saying, "The village still trusts the Uchiha, which is why it didn't take control of the entire Uchiha clan immediately."

"We're only here to take the person back for verification."

"Is it at night?" Shenyue Xingyun asked.

Danzo's breathing became heavier.

His clenched fists indicated that he was not at peace and wanted to hit someone.

In the silence, a sound of wind breaking came from afar.

"What's going on?!"

"Who set up the barrier?!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a figure quickly appeared in front of the group.

Danzo and the others looked in the direction of the sound, and their expressions froze when they saw who it was.

Seeing that Danzo and the others looked strange, Shingetsu Seiun also turned to look.

The person who arrived was none other than Uchiha Obito. Shingetsu Seiun recognized him from his voice, but what surprised him was that Uchiha Obito's appearance had changed drastically from before.

His cheeks were sunken, his eye sockets were dark, and his face was pale with messy hair.

This image immediately reminded Shenyue Xingyun of the cultivation-themed emojis from her past life.

He was utterly shocked!

"What did you do?" Shenyue Xingyun asked, puzzled. "Are you going to die?"

"You're the one who's going to die," Obito Uchiha retorted irritably.

Shenyue Xingyun: "Then why do you look like this?"

"I'm fine." Obito Uchiha turned his head away, seemingly not wanting Shingetsu Seiun to see his dignity.

He said, "I just haven't had any tasks these past two days, so I've been resting at home for a few days."

Shingetsu Nebula: "!!!?"

He doesn't understand!
