Chapter 181 |
In the woods.
After Zabuza knocked down a big tree, he spurted blood and then fell to the ground and passed out.
Hozuki Mangetsu was picked up by the neck, his feet were hanging in the air from the ground, and he was unable to kick them. His face had turned the color of pig liver, and he looked like he was about to suffocate.
Both of them were young, fought in the cruel environment of the Blood Mist Village, and had the blood of countless people on their hands before they became Kirigakure jounin.
They can be said to be one of a kind.
That’s why they are so confident.
Until this time they fought against Dan.
Their all-out attacks were unable to break through Dan's defense, and with just one punch from Dan, he destroyed the ninjutsu that the two of them tried their best to display.
From beginning to end, if you use four words to describe it, that is: taking a leisurely stroll.
It makes people despair.
Zabuza and Hozuki Mangetsu were seriously injured and defeated, making the remaining Mist ninja very nervous.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
They immediately set up a battle formation, or pulled out the ninja swords at their waists, or summoned the "water whip" in their hands to surround Dan.
"Do you all want to die that much?"
Dan looked around at the people around him and asked lightly.
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful air current suddenly burst out from his body and swept around, making everyone in Kirigakure look horrified and retreat one after another.
"Stop!"
Terumi Mei was shocked and turned pale. She stopped all her companions and then quickly walked up to Dan and bowed deeply to him. "I'm sorry, sir, it's us who have offended you."
When Dan heard the words, his eyes flashed, no one knew what he was thinking.
Before he spoke.
Everyone in Kirigakure held their breath, not even daring to take a breath. Many people's bodies were shaking because of fear, and they could not hold the ninja sword in their hands.
Terumi Mei's heart was in her throat, and she prayed desperately that his chokehold would be opened.
After a few long seconds passed.
Dan let go of the hand that was holding Hozuki Mangetsu's neck.
Plop.
Hozuki Mangetsu fell to the ground, and he suddenly coughed violently, his face turned red from the coughing, and then he took a big breath of fresh air.
The number one genius in Kirigakure had miraculously saved his life.
Seeing this scene, Terumi Mei felt happy, and quickly asked Dan on behalf of everyone in Kirigakure:
"Master Dan, what should we do to gain your understanding?"
Understanding?
Dan smiled and glanced at Terumi Mei, "If you want me to forgive you, attack Konoha with all your strength and destroy it."
After saying this.
Amid the stunned expressions of everyone in Kirigakure, Dan drifted away.
His figure disappeared into the distance.
Everyone in Kirigakure finally heaved a sigh of relief, feeling like they just survived a disaster, and some even slumped down on the ground.
Only when you face Uchiha Dan can you realize how terrifying this man is.
Even the Fourth Mizukage has never given people such a strong sense of oppression.
After a long while.
Terumi Mei came back to her senses and ordered everyone to carry Zabuza, Hozuki Mangetsu and Captain Ao back.
Although Dan had shown mercy, three of Kirigakure's generals were seriously injured, and it seemed that they would be unable to participate in the siege of Konoha.
In this encounter, the Mist Ninja learned a lesson for their recklessness, arrogance and ignorance.
Soon, everyone left here in despair.
……
Dan Walked continuously in the forest of Konoha.
With every step he took, chakra erupted from the soles of his feet, and he instantly moved forward over a dozen meters.
When approaching the Uchiha land, Dan suddenly stopped.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
Three figures appeared in front, blocking his way.
It is the Fourth Raikage, and his two guards – C and Darui.
It seems that Kumogakure and Kirigakure have the same idea, and they plan to sneak into Konoha to spy on the situation before the war begins in order to take advantage of it.
It’s just.
Kumogakure personally dispatched The Fourth Raikage, and…
He came specifically for Dan.
Dan asked Samui to bring a message to the Raikage: The Uchiha clan would launch a coup and start civil strife in Konoha. He hoped that Kumogakure would not miss this opportunity.
Later, as Dan said, Uchiha broke off with Konoha and left the village.
Following Dan's instructions, the Fourth Raikage immediately gathered the Kumogakure army and marched south.
But what confused him was, why didn't Dan leave with the Uchiha clan, but returned to Konoha?
Raikage believed that he needed to find Dan and ask the latter clearly.
So he came.
"We meet again, Uchiha Dan."
The Fourth Raikage looked at Dan with burning eyes and said hello.
Dan knew what the other party wanted to ask. Before the Raikage could speak, he said calmly: "In this war, I am just a bystander."
In other words, if Kumogakure attacks Konoha, he will not intervene.
When Raikage heard this, he looked happy:
"Okay! With your words, I feel relieved."
But what Dan said next surprised Raikage:
"However, if I meet someone who interests me, I won't rule out the possibility of taking action, such as… Pain."
Hearing Pain's name.
Raikage's face suddenly darkened, and his expression became ugly.
"It seems that you have already fought against Pain." Dan noticed Raikage's expression.
Raikage felt a little embarrassed, then his eyes became solemn, and he reminded Dan with a loud sound:
"Pain is very strong. I was knocked away by one of his moves and lost my face. If you meet him, you'd better be careful."
"Affirmative."
Dan nodded and said no more. He walked straight past the three people and walked towards the Uchiha clan.
Watching Dan’s figure leave.
Raikage felt excitement.
Maybe this time, in front of the entire ninja world, there will be a peak showdown on the battlefield.
Pain VS Dan.
When thinking of that scene, even the Fourth Raikage, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, couldn't help but feel excited.
At this time.
Dan was about to walk far away when he suddenly stopped again and turned around and asked:
"By the way, how is Samui?"
The Fourth Raikage was stunned, and then replied: "She is now Kumogakure's Jonin, but she did not come to participate in this war. Instead, she stayed in the village and took a vacation."
Hearing this, Dan nodded with satisfaction, and what he said next made the three Raikage widen their eyes:
"That is for the best. After all, Samui has my child in her belly. If something happens to her, I might be… unhappy."
The words fell and drifted away.
Dan, he and Samui actually have a child.
The Fourth Raikage came to his senses and couldn't help but shed a cold sweat.
Most people might lose their temper when they say they are "not very happy," but if Uchiha Dan said that, the consequences would be disastrous.
Raikage couldn't help but feel lucky.
Fortunately, Samui was not allowed to go to the battlefield, otherwise, if something happened to her or the child in her belly…
Thinking of this, Raikage's expression became serious and he immediately ordered to C:
"Send an order back to Kumogakure and send Anbu to protect Samui's safety. We must not let anything happen to her. Do you understand?"
"Yes sir." C agreed quickly.
Obviously.
From this moment on, Samui's status in Kumogakure was elevated to a very high level.
Because she is Uchiha Dan's woman.
Whether it’s out of Raikage’s personal appreciation for Dan or because of Kumogakure’s interests, it is necessary to win over Dan, through Samui.
……
The dark part of Konoha is a prison, dark and damp.
In a cell in the deepest part, the heaviest prisoner in history was being held – the third generation Hiruzen Sarutobi.
Although Danzo ordered in the name of the new Hokage to put the Sandaime in prison and let the Anbu torture him and investigate the Sandaime's crime of dereliction of duty.
But in fact, no one will actually do this.
After all, the Sandaime has been the Hokage for forty years. Even if he has hit rock bottom, his prestige still remains in the hearts of many people.
In this cell.
The third generation began to reflect on himself.
Over the years, he has been conscientious in his position as Hokage, dedicating most of his life to the village, and feels that he has a clear conscience.
So he thought about it again and again, but still didn't understand what he had done wrong?
Maybe.
His biggest mistake is that he is too kind.
Because of his kindness, he was soft-hearted towards Danzo and indulged him repeatedly, and was finally usurped by him.
Also out of kindness, he was never able to make up his mind to eradicate the damn Uchiha clan, which ultimately led to a huge disaster.
Thinking of this, the Sandaime felt extremely regretful.
At this time.
Knock, knock, knock.
Following the crisp sound of the cane, Danzo, wearing a white Hokage robe and a Hokage hat, slowly walked through the prison corridor and arrived in front of the Sandaime's cell door.
Across the cell pillars, their eyes met and they were silent for a moment.
Finally, Danzo spoke first and said with emotion:
"Not long ago, I was inside and you were outside. Who would have thought that now our status and identity have been completely reversed.
Hiruzen, I said you would regret it. "
Hearing this, the Sandaime shook his head:
"Danzo, are you here to show off, or are you here to take my life? Give me a happy answer."
"Haha, don't be impatient yet."
Danzo sneered and said slowly, "Hiruzen, I won't kill you, but I won't let you out either. Just stay in this dark cell and wait to witness everything that will happen."
In this regard.
The Sandaime also responded with a sneer, and sarcastically said in a deep voice:
"What am i witnessing? If nothing else, do you think you really have the ability to defeat this ninja coalition?"
In the eyes of the Sandaime, Konoha is facing a disaster.
When the time comes, whether it is him, the prisoner in the prison, or Danzo, the seemingly glorious Hokage, the outcome will be similar.
There is only one way to die.
Unexpectedly, Danzo's confidence was extremely high.
"Defeat the ninja coalition? That's just my first step."
Danzo had a look of disapproval, and then he stared at the Sandaime with piercing eyes, and made some bold words in front of the latter, "Hiruzen, just wait and see.
In the near future, I will do something that even the first Hokage was unable to do, which is to unify the five great ninja villages and establish an unprecedented great cause.
By then, I will not only be the Hokage of Konoha, but also the Hokage of the entire ninja world! "
When saying these words.
Danzo was full of confidence and seemed to have everything under control.
Then, leaving the Sandaime with a shocked look on his face, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and walked away.
After he take a few steps.
Danzo seemed to think of something, suddenly stopped and said without looking back:
"Although I don't intend to kill you, the same cannot be said for Koharu and Homura. If they continue to go against me."
The Sandaime suddenly opened his eyes angrily, grabbed the pillars of the cell with both hands, and shouted:
"Danzo, you dare!"
Koharu and Homura are both great heroes of Konoha, and they are close friends of both the Sandaime and Danzo. Danzo actually wants to attack them?
Absurd.
Faced with Danzo who insisted on going his own way, the Sandaime, who was now a prisoner, was left with only powerlessness and rage.
As night fell, darkness enveloped Konoha Village.
In the past, at this time, it was the time when the lanterns were lit, the crowds were bustling, and a wonderful night life began.
But now, there is only a deathly silence in the village.
Not a single light is on.
Countless Konoha ninjas were hiding in the darkness, all of them were fully armed and tense, not daring to close their eyes and fall asleep easily.
Because the enemy may launch a night attack at any time.
Tonight is destined to be a long night.
In other words, before the day when the ninja alliance invades Konoha, there will be such a sleepless night every night.
Finally, after spending the night.
The golden rooster crowed, the morning light first appeared, and a new day came.
It is completely different from the tense atmosphere in the village.
Early in the morning.
Dan and Tsunade walked out of the door, walked into the woods behind the Body reform department, and climbed up the hill in the clan's territory.
At this time, they were the only two people in Konoha who were still in the mood to climb mountains.
Although Tsunade doesn't deal with Dan in words, she is very honest physically and has been practicing with Dan these days.
They arrived at the top of the mountain.
Looking around, Dan saw a red sun rising slowly from the horizon, about to bring warmth and light to the world.
He opened his Mangekyō Sharingan, faced the direction of the rising sun, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
Tsunade saw rays of sunlight slowly entering his pupils like running water and ribbons. It feels like Dan’s eyes are absorbing the essence of the sun and moon.
Seeing this scene, Tsunade was surprised.
When she came back to her senses, she opened her Sharingan in the same way, trying to absorb the essence of sunlight like Dan.
According to Dan, this kind of practice can exercise the Sharingan and improve the eye power.
After the morning sun fully rose, the sunlight became dazzling.
The two of them ended their practice, walked down the hill, and returned to their clan.
"Huh?"
Before reaching the entrance of the Body modification department, Tsunade let out a sigh, saw a familiar figure, and hurriedly fled into the Uchiha clan.
It’s Mitokado Homura.
The advisory elder of Konoha was covered in blood at this time, and the glasses on his face were broken. He seemed to have been seriously injured.
"Dan, Tsunade!"
Seeing the two of them appear, Homura was like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, and let out a cry of surprise.
"Yo, what's going on?"
Dan walked up and said sarcastic words, as if he were watching a show.
Homura panted and said with a horrified expression:
"In order to compete for the Sharingan collected during the last civil strife, Koharu and I had a conflict with Danzo. Unexpectedly, he actually attacked us! Koharu is already dead, and I was also seriously injured…"
"What?!"
Tsunade was very surprised when she heard this.
What surprised her was that at this time, these old guys at the top of Konoha were still fighting among themselves. It was really——
Astonishing.
