Wood Leaf.
Early morning.
Snowflakes fluttered in the wind, Danzō walked alone on the cold street.
His right eye was wrapped in a white bandage, and his right hand was also wrapped in a white bandage. His body was slightly hunched, and his face was old and weather-beaten.
Passing through the streets, the scenery was gradually replaced by trees with a layer of snow. After walking for a while, he was not far from the Root HQ.
Crack.
Danzō's footsteps paused and broke a tree branch buried in the snow.
"Who is it?" Danzō's left eye rolled up and shot a fierce look.
In the next moment, three figures flashed and surrounded Danzō.
Don't misunderstand, they are Root Ninjas, responsible for protecting Danzō's personal safety.
The three Root Ninjas vigilantly pulled out the blades on their back, and the veins on their hands holding the blades were bulging.
Clap, Clap, Clap.
"As expected of Danzō -sama, you can find me so quickly."
A ninja wearing a grimace mask clapped his hands and walked out. His posture was relaxed and at ease, and his words were full of the superiority of a high-class society animal looking down on a brick mover.
"Who are you? What do you want to do by stopping me? "
Danzō stared at this person coldly and suddenly found a strange thing.
The other party's mask didn't have eye holes!
Blind?
Danzō's heart was filled with a strange and ominous premonition.
Then the premonition came true …
"How many floors do I have to carry a bag of rice? How tired do I have to carry a bag of rice? How much do I have to wash a bag of rice? My mouth is full of mud!"
(Subtitles: Feel the pain, think about the pain, accept the pain, understand the pain, from now on!)
The Ninja with the devil mask said a series of lines without emotion, and then rushed toward Danzō.
Danzō is a person who is afraid of death, how can he fight with such an unidentified person?
He quickly retreated with the tip of his foot and ordered his subordinates in a stern voice, "Capture him!"
"Yes!"
The figures of the three subordinates flashed into afterimages, resolutely rushed to the grimace mask man.
Danzō leaped onto a tree branch and squatted down to observe the battle calmly.
Pa pa pa!
Pa pa pa!
Under the siege of three Root Ninjas, the grimace masked man was struggling to hold on with his bare hands, and he was already at a disadvantage!
You dare to block me with this little bit of ability?
Danzō's face darkened, but then he looked at the grimace mask again. 'Indeed, there are no eye holes.'
Was he really blind?
Or …
Danzō suddenly remembered that the Hyuga Clan had invaded the Root Headquarters.
Just as he thought of this, he saw the grimace masked man suddenly begin to counterattack, and with a set of Gentle Fist – Sixty-Four Palms, the three Root ninjas were forced to retreat!
The Hyuga Clan!
As expected!
Danzō instantly understood!
'Orochi Maru, it's you, you're finally going to directly retaliate against me!'
When the Hyuga Clan invaded the Root Headquarters, Danzō was convinced that Orochi Maru had colluded with the Hyuga Branch Family's ninjas with the temptation of 'killing the Caged Bird'!
Now that he was attacked by the Hyuga Clan, it must be Orochi Maru's order!
But …
Danzō frowned: with Orochi Maru's character, once he retaliates, he will definitely not only use this method.
Danzō looked around, only to feel that every bush and tree was an enemy!
The three Root Ninjas recognized the other party's Gentle Fist and also guessed that the other party was a Hyuga Clan ninja, but they did not question, did not threaten, and did not talk. They obeyed Danzō's order and continued to besiege the grimace mask man coldly like puppets, trying to capture him!
Pa pa pa!
Pa pa pa!
The grimace mask man relied on the Hyuga Clan's Gentle Fist – 64 Palms, which had been passed down for thousands of years, to firmly control the situation and fight with the three Root Ninjas!
The three Root Ninjas were extremely experienced in combat. After being caught off guard by the Gentle Fist, they quickly adjusted and quickly learned combat experience, gradually turning the situation around!
As for the grimace mask man, he went back and forth, repeatedly, and from beginning to end, only used the Gentle Fist – 64 Palms, so after five or six minutes, the grimace mask man was once again at a disadvantage!
Clang!
Bang!
Two Tachi turned into two afterimages and flashed under the grimace mask man's neck!
Bang!
A light smoke flashed, and the grimace mask man suddenly turned into smoke and dissipated.
Shadow Clone?
Danzō squinted his only eye, the muscles all over his body tense: Just a shadow clone?
Test?
No, Orochi Maru must have follow-up actions!
Danzō's heart ached: Orochi Maru, you bastard, you leaked my information and betrayed me first, and you dare to come back for revenge, I will never let you go!
With a gloomy face, Danzō quickly rushed to the Root Headquarters, and immediately expanded his guards from three to six!
He originally wanted to add more people, but the elite Jonins of the Hyuga Clan Branch Family had left the Wood Leaf, and the Hyuga Ninjas who could be controlled by Orochi Maru were at most Jonins. In the Wood Leaf, with the protection of six elite Root Ninjas, he didn't believe that Orochi Maru could kill him!
But how to find out Orochi Maru?
Danzō squinted his eyes and thought about it. Now his power was not enough to cover the entire Wood Leaf, so if he wanted to find out Orochi Maru, he could only ask Po Shui Mun for help!
Could Po Shui Mun refuse?
Of course not!
Because Orochi Maru was not only Danzō's enemy, but also Wood Leaf's S-level defector ninja, Po Shui Mun had the right and obligation to catch him!
And once the investigation was launched, the collusion between the Hyuga Clan Branch Family and Orochi Maru would also be exposed!
At that time, as the Fourth Naruto, how would he deal with the Hyuga Clan Branch Family?
If he was too soft, he wouldn't be able to suppress the voices of other ninjas, but if he was too harsh, Hyuga Hiashi would definitely have an opinion.
No matter what the outcome was, Po Shui Mun could no longer cooperate with the Hyuga Clan!
Danzō smiled.
With the decision made, Danzō immediately left the Root Headquarters and went back the same way he came, ready to go to Naruto's Tower.
When passing by the small forest that was attacked before, Danzō's footsteps stopped again, there was only one thought in his mind: Isn't this too arrogant?
"Danzō -sama, how many floors do I have to carry a bag of rice? I have to carry a bag of rice to the second floor, how tired am I? I have to wash a bag of rice, I have mud in my mouth!"
The grimace masked man jumped out from behind the tree, shouting slogans, waving his palms, and rushed to Danzō aggressively.
Danzō didn't even jump back this time. He waved his hand, and six Root Ninjas fell from all directions, besieging the grimace masked man.
The grimace masked man still used Gentle Fist – 64 Palms, but the number of enemies doubled, so he was cleanly defeated in less than half a minute, and finally dissipated into smoke.
"Let's go!" Danzō continued to go to Naruto's Tower with a calm face.
At the same time.
Death Forest Underground Base.
Cold Wind slowly took off his grimace mask. The one who attacked Danzō was naturally his Byakugan Shadow Clone. But in order to hide his identity, and also to better hone his Gentle Fist, he didn't activate his Monster Strength talent, nor did he activate Po Shui Mun's nerve reflex. He also didn't allow his Shadow Clone to use other Ninjutsu and Taijutsu other than Gentle Fist. Otherwise, it wouldn't be six against one, but six against six.
"Do you want to continue?"
A Shadow Clone next to him said, "Now Danzō's guards have increased to six, the Byakugan Shadow Clone can only last for half a minute."
Half a minute of fighting had little effect on honing his Gentle Fist.
Cold Wind touched his chin: In this case, I can only create a few more Shadow Clones!
Cold Wind put on his mask again with a regretful face, and created three more Byakugan Shadow Clones.
In this way, three against six, they can definitely fight for half an hour!
…
Naruto's Tower.
Small Conference Room.
Po Shui Mun and Danzō sat facing each other in silence.
After a while, Po Shui Mun asked, "Advisor Danzō, why did you come to see me this time?"
Danzō nodded and said, "I have information about Orochi Maru, and this time I want to discuss it with Yondaime-sama."
Orochi Maru?
Po Shui Mun was suspicious.
Orochi Maru had already joined the rebel ninja organization called 'Akatsuki', and Waterstop hadn't sent back any information for such a long time. How could Danzō have any information?
Po Shui Mun didn't believe it, but just in case, he solemnly asked, "What information?"
"Just now, I encountered two assassination attempts from Orochi Maru!" Danzō said gloomily.
"Assassination?!"
Po Shui Mun looked at Danzō in surprise. Seeing that Danzō didn't lose any parts, he subconsciously thought that Danzō was lying.
Orochi Maru is a legendary Sannin, and is as famous as his Jiraiya sensei. Such a character launched an assassination attempt, how could Danzō be unscathed?
Even if you don't care about your acting, at least care about your body!
Po Shui Mun's expression hurt Danzō's self-esteem. He gritted his teeth and growled, "Yondaime-sama, I don't need to lie to you about Orochi Maru!"
"Advisor Danzō, don't be angry, it's not that I don't believe you, it's just that you know Orochi Maru's strength best, if he assassinated you …" Po Shui Mun laughed.
Danzō snorted and explained, "He didn't do it himself, it was the ninja of the Hyuga Clan!"
Po Shui Mun frowned, "Trying to drive a wedge between us?"
Danzō glanced at him, gloating in his heart, but his face was extremely dignified and said, "Yondaime-sama, I won't hide it now. Half a year ago, the Hyuga Clan invaded the Root headquarters and secretly stole Hashirama's cells and a large number of experimental data and information about cell transplantation!"
Po Shui Mun's expression tightened. Of course, he knew about this matter. He even suspected that the Uchiha Clan and the Hyuga Clan cooperated, and that someone from the Hyuga Clan joined The Abyss.
But now it seems that his guess was wrong?
And the stolen items turned out to be Hashirama's cells and cell transplantation data. Po Shui Mun was confused.
"The person behind this matter is Orochi Maru!"
Danzō said in an indisputable tone, "Only he knows that there are Hashirama's cells in my headquarters, no one else can know!"
There are some people in Root who know, but they are all under the Tongue Technique, and it is impossible for them to reveal information that has a close relationship with Danzō, so it can only be Orochi Maru!
Po Shui Mun focused himself and asked, "But how did the Hyuga Clan collude with Orochi Maru?"
"To be precise, the one who colluded with Orochi Maru is the Hyuga Branch Family who were enslaved because of the Caged Bird!"
Danzō solemnly shared his' hard-won 'information, "Orochi Maru's research ability is very strong. If he uses the Caged Bird as bait to confuse the Hyuga Branch Family ninja … even if he can't win over all the Branch Family, he can definitely win over some of them for his use!"
Po Shui Mun knew about the conflict between the Hyuga Branch Family and the Hyuga Branch Family, and listening to Danzō's analysis, he subconsciously nodded in agreement.
And the events that spanned over half a year finally became clear in his mind.
Orochi Maru used the temptation of cracking the Caged Bird to collude with some of the Hyuga Branch Family ninja, and then used the Hyuga Branch Family to steal Hashirama's cells and the transplant experiment data of Hashirama's cells from Root headquarters!
Orochi Maru wanted to restart the Hashirama's cell transplant experiment, he wanted to get his hands on Mokuton, and he wanted to take revenge on Wood Leaf!
Now Danzō was assassinated by the Hyuga Branch Family ninja … Has his revenge already begun?
Po Shui Mun thought, "When Orochi Maru defected, the one who was stabbed the most was naturally Danzō in front of me."
For Orochi Maru, being betrayed by a close partner, the grievance, anger, and hatred is definitely far more than other people, so the priority of revenge must be Danzō!
Danzō should also know this, so he wants to join forces with me to deal with Orochi Maru!
Po Shui Mun pondered for a long time and slowly nodded, "I will send the Anbu to track down Orochi Maru in the village."
Although he hated Danzō, the existence of Orochi Maru must not be ignored!
"What about the Hyuga Branch Family?" Danzō asked in a low voice, his one eye flashing.
Po Shui Mun smiled slightly, "There is no conclusive evidence to prove that the Hyuga Branch Family ninja colluded with Orochi Maru, so I will not take any action against the Hyuga Branch Family, and I also hope that Advisor Danzō will not be impulsive!"
Danzō snorted, got up, and said, "Then I will take my leave first."
After leaving the Naruto building, Danzō valiantly walked back the way he came, but halfway through, he found that it was not early, and he wanted to have lunch first.
Thus, he made a detour to a nearby izakaya and leisurely drank for an hour before returning to Root's headquarters.
