Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 142 Konoha's S-Rank Rogue Ninja - Shimura Danzo
Konoha, inside the Hokage Building.

The atmosphere in the meeting room was very serious.

The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with two advisors, Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane, as well as many clan leaders from within the village, and some other excellent ninjas.

Wood Release ninja Tenzo was among them.

This is a Jonin meeting, usually used to discuss important matters within the village.

Even the appointment and removal of the Hokage can be decided through a Jonin meeting.

Of course, some of it is just talk.

Just like the police department has seemingly impressive powers such as initiating wars, in reality, it's only responsible for maintaining order within the village.

The process of removing the Hokage has not yet been completed.

However, the First Hokage, the Second Hokage, and the Fourth Hokage all failed to bypass the Jonin Conference.

As for the Third Hokage, he was appointed during the First Shinobi World War, so many procedures were omitted.

During Hashirama Senju's time, everyone voted for him at the Jonin meeting. Although Hashirama supported Madara, he didn't want to go against the majority's wishes, so he could only become Hokage. However, he naively wanted Madara to become the Second Hokage.

After Hashirama's death, everyone supported Tobirama Senju.

As for the competition for the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze received more votes at the Jonin Conference, leaving Orochimaru without a chance to be elected.

This Jonin meeting wasn't about the Fifth Hokage, but rather... Danzo.

From the time the Third Hokage ascended to power, Danzo was second only to the First Hokage in Konoha.

Now that Danzo has defected and taken a group of his subordinates with him, the impact of this event is enormous.

This impact will be no less than the Uchiha clan extermination, although the Uchiha clan hasn't been wiped out yet.

Everyone's eyes turned to the Third Generation, but each had their own thoughts.

The highly intelligent Nara Shikaku and others were rapidly analyzing the data in their brains.

The Third Hokage's youngest son, Sarutobi Asuma, went to serve as a Guardian Ninja for the Daimyo, but was killed. The person who killed Asuma was also a Guardian Ninja, which contains a lot of information.

The pain of losing a son, coupled with the involvement of a daimyo, naturally compelled the three generations to travel to the capital, not only to avenge their son but also to maintain the relationship between the village and the daimyo.

As a result, when the third generation arrived in the capital, the daimyo was poisoned, and the one who poisoned him was the Aburame clan.

Considering Danzo's defection, it becomes quite obvious.

Danzo sent someone to poison the daimyo in order to frame the Third Daimyo, but the Third Daimyo actually saw through everything.

Seeing that his plan had been exposed, Danzo had no choice but to defect.

"Let's designate Danzo as an S-rank rogue ninja!" The Third Hokage sighed and said to everyone.

Yan and Xiaochun had no objections.

After all, Danzo had defected with some of his subordinates, and this matter could not be covered up. It would inevitably spread throughout the village, causing a great deal of impact.

It would be unreasonable not to classify Danzo as a traitorous ninja.

Given Danzo's status and strength, he was undoubtedly the highest-ranking S-class rogue ninja.

"Danzo has a lot of important secrets about the village," Koharu suddenly said.

“Hiruzen, the village comes first,” En said, turning to the Third Hokage.

The Third Hokage knew that he wanted to send his secret agents to hunt down Danzo.

Just as Koharu Utatane said, Danzo possessed a great deal of confidential information about the village.

It's fair to say that Danzo's defection would be no less dangerous than the Hokage's defection.

Now that Danzo has defected, it's hard to guarantee that he won't do anything to harm the village in the future.

Therefore, this issue must be resolved as soon as possible.

One of the duties of the Anbu is to hunt down rogue ninja from the village.

After Itachi Uchiha defected, the Third Hokage also sent the Anbu to hunt him down, but the effort was not strong enough and seemed somewhat perfunctory.

Danzo's defection must be dealt with seriously.

The best thing for the village would be for Danzo and the Root ninja who followed him out of Konoha to die.

Neither Yan nor Xiaochun wanted the Third Generation to soften their stance at this moment.

after all……

Everything was for Konoha!

The village always comes first.

The third generation nodded heavily; he knew exactly what to do in this situation.

Then, Hiashi Hyuga, Torifu Akimichi, Inoichi Yamanaka, and others also spoke up, all supporting the Third Hokage's decision.

No one spoke up for Danzo.

Konoha has gained another S-rank rogue ninja: Shimura Danzo.

……

"Swish swish~"

A dozen or so ANBU ninjas instantly left the village, including members of the Hyuga branch family, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, and the Aburame clan...

The mission of these ANBU ninjas was to pursue Danzo and his gang, bring Danzo's body back to the village, and leave no survivors.

In fact, Danzo could have foreseen this.

When Danzo chose to defect, this was bound to be the outcome.

Although the Third Hokage was somewhat soft-hearted, he was still the Hokage after all.

As the Hokage, I must consider the village's well-being.

Besides, many eyes are on the third generation!
Also, the third generation should give the daimyo an explanation!

The Third Hokage returned to Konoha, and Danzo defected. How could such an outcome satisfy the Daimyo?

……

News began to spread to the Akatsuki organization in Amegakure, Sunagakure in the Land of Wind, Iwagakure in the Land of Earth, Kumogakure in the Land of Lightning, Kirigakure in the Land of Water, and even the small country of Kusagakure.

Yunyin.

The Fourth Raikage was also surprised to hear the news.

Konoha's Dark Ninja has defected?

This is truly unexpected information!
It's quite remarkable that the Hidden Cloud Village is well-informed; otherwise, the Fourth Raikage wouldn't have found out so quickly.

Of course, it was only a matter of time before news of Danzo becoming an S-rank rogue ninja of Konoha spread throughout the ninja world.

At times like these, one can truly see the intelligence-gathering capabilities and the speed at which information is transmitted among the various factions in the ninja world.

The Hidden Cloud Village had been keeping an eye on Konoha, and as soon as they learned that Konoha's advisor, Danzo Shimura, had defected, they immediately sent the information back to the village using ninja hawks.

Although the Fourth Raikage knew that Danzo was now a rogue ninja, he still didn't understand why Danzo had become a rogue ninja.

In the eyes of the Fourth Raikage, this was almost as unbelievable as the defection of a village's Kage.

Several Cloud Village Jonin stood in front of the Fourth Raikage, all pondering the matter.

According to what was revealed on the screen, Danzo likely possessed a strong Will of Fire.

"Could it be something the Third Hokage designed?" a Cloud Village Jonin asked hesitantly.

Upon hearing this, the Fourth Raikage was also taken aback, and then seriously considered the matter: "That possibility cannot be ruled out."

The so-called Light of Konoha is just a hypocritical old man!

"Danzo is the scapegoat, and he must have taken the blame for Hiruzen Sarutobi a lot in the past. But with the appearance of the light screen, Danzo is probably no longer willing to take the blame for Hiruzen. Since Danzo can no longer take the blame, it is entirely possible that Hiruzen will want to get rid of Danzo." Another Jonin from Kumogakure said.

Was the Third Hokage really that sinister?

"It's hard to say."

……

In a dense forest.

If you are in the center of this forest, and look in all directions, the tall trees stretch as far as the eye can see.

This shows how vast this forest is.

This place is quite far from Konoha.

Danzo led his followers through this forest.

Although they tried to contact Orochimaru, they were unable to reach him yet.

As for Orochimaru's stronghold, it has not been found yet.

Danzo knew that Konoha would definitely send ninjas to hunt him down.

After all, he knew too many secrets of Konoha.

However, it would be a mistake to think he would harm the village.

Even after becoming a rogue ninja, he still loved Konoha.

Danzo hadn't forgotten the Will of Fire.

As for Hiruzen, his Will of Fire was definitely distorted.

Neither Yan nor Xiaochun possessed a pure Will of Fire.

Only him...

Only Danzo Shimura possessed the purest Will of Fire. Only he, as Hokage, could bring blessings to Konoha and truly make it strong.

Hiruzen, who was called his stumbling block, was nothing but an insect.

Suddenly, Danzo stopped in his tracks, and the Root ninja behind him immediately shielded him.

At the same time, the surrounding flowers, plants and trees all turned into crystals and condensed into various shapes.

Suddenly, crystals shot out from the ground and pierced towards Danzo.

A Root Ninja swung his kunai and shattered the crystal that was aimed at Danzo.

"Not bad bloodline limit," Danzo commented, squinting his eyes.

At that moment, a little girl appeared.

"I am Orochimaru-sama's subordinate—Guren," the little girl said.

Crimson Lotus possesses the bloodline limit Crystal Release, which allows her to crystallize surrounding substances, typically in a deep red color.

When a person is crystallized by Guren's bloodline limit, they will shatter like glass, but Crystal Release cannot crystallize chakra.

There's no doubt about Orochimaru's judgment.

Crystal Release can also be considered a powerful bloodline limit.

Of course, since Crimson Lotus is still around, she cannot unleash the full power of Crystal Release.

With her current Crystal Release technique, Guren would have a hard time even dealing with a Chunin.

Any one of the Root Ninja protecting Danzo is far stronger than Guren.

As for Danzo himself, although his injuries have not fully recovered, he is not without fighting ability.

It wouldn't be difficult for Danzo to defeat Guren, but it would worsen Danzo's injuries.

"Orochimaru's subordinates?" Danzo's eyes lit up.

Although Danzo was somewhat interested in Guren's Crystal Release technique, seeing Orochimaru was the most important thing to him.

Orochimaru is a rogue ninja of Konoha, and Danzo is now one too, so they can cooperate.

Danzo's main purpose in cooperating with Orochimaru was, of course, to obtain Shin Uchiha.

The fact that Orochimaru's subordinates would appear before us is quite intriguing.

It doesn't seem like a coincidence; it must have been Orochimaru's doing.

"Shimura Danzo, Lord Orochimaru sent me to take you to see him," Guren said casually to Danzo.

"Show some respect to Lord Danzo." A Root Ninja pointed his kunai at Guren.

“I hate it when people point kunai at me.” Honglian’s face turned cold.

The next moment, Honglian quickly formed hand seals.

A large, three-dimensional pentagonal prism crystal shot out from the ground, about to envelop the Root Ninja who was pointing a kunai at the Crimson Lotus.

Gennin instinctively sensed danger.

Indeed, once encased in this crystal, one will die as the crystal shatters.

The crystal was fast, but Gen was even faster, dodging it in a flash.

At this moment, Honglian used ninjutsu to form a crescent-shaped blade on her arm; this was the Crystal Release: Emerald Blade.

The crystal glittered, and the blade flashed as it slashed towards Gen Ren's neck.

The Root Ninja had no time to dodge, so he channeled chakra into the kunai in his hand to block the Crimson Lotus's ninjutsu.

The crystal and the kunai shattered simultaneously.

As the two streams of chakra clashed, Guren was completely at a disadvantage.

In terms of chakra reserves, Guren is currently only at the genin level.

This Root Ninja is actually a Jonin.

Although this Jonin's chakra level didn't even reach 1 ka, it still far exceeded that of Guren.

With a muffled groan, Honglian slid back more than ten meters on the ground before regaining her balance.

Just as Root Ninja was about to continue his attack, Danzo stopped him.

"Take this old man to see Orochimaru, little girl." Danzo looked down at Guren.

Danzo was also filled with emotion.

Where did Orochimaru find him?
This little girl has potential!

It's a decent bloodline limit, but this little girl clearly hasn't shown its full potential yet.

If you train him to be an anesthetic for a few years, he will definitely be a useful tool.

Honglian dared not make another move. The reason she attacked as soon as she arrived was not only to test them, but also to give Danzo and the others a warning. However, she overestimated herself.

In terms of chakra and ninjutsu, she's currently only at the genin level.

Having a powerful bloodline limit is enough to deal with Chunin, but that's about it.

Turning around, Guren led Danzo and the others towards Orochimaru's stronghold.

Or perhaps it's one of Orochimaru's strongholds.

However, it was still quite far away, and even if Honglian traveled at full speed, it would take her about half an hour. Danzo and the others followed.

……

The dark underground laboratory was filled with the smell of disinfectant.

Various instruments were scattered around, along with petri dishes and other items.

Orochimaru sat on the sofa.

Kabuto stood in front of Orochimaru.

"I never expected Shimura Danzo to become a rogue ninja." Kabuto pushed up his glasses and said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, Kabuto's eyes were cold.

Kabuto wanted to kill Danzo.

If it weren't for Danzo's scheme, Dean Nonou wouldn't have died.

Danzo deserves to die.

However, Kabuto was also aware of his own limitations; he knew he couldn't kill Danzo on his own.

If Orochimaru were to intervene, the chances of killing Danzo would be much greater.

Orochimaru, however, was unwilling to make a move.

"We haven't squeezed every last drop of value out of Danzo yet." Orochimaru's lips curled into a wicked smile.

To be honest, Orochimaru was quite surprised to learn that Danzo had also become a rogue ninja.

I never imagined Danzo would become a rogue ninja.

So Orochimaru sent Guren to make contact with Danzo.

Judging by the time, Guren should be on her way back with Danzo.

……

A white Zetsu emerged from the ground; it was none other than Awei.

Awei also saw Honglian use Crystal Release earlier.

"Crystal Release?"

It's a pretty good bloodline limit.

It can crystallize the substances around the body.

Selling crystals can make you rich.

Orochimaru probably made a lot of money using Guren's Crystal Release technique!
It's important to know that glass already has a considerable profit margin, so crystal has an even greater profit margin.

Crimson Lotus's bloodline limit can create crystals, and it doesn't seem to consume much chakra.

Further away, many crystal fragments remained on the ground.

Ah Wei picked up a fragment and tried to swallow it.

It went very smoothly, and in the blink of an eye, it devoured the fragment.

After some analysis, many mysteries about Crystal Escape appeared in Awei's mind.

I glanced at the various sizes of crystal fragments on the ground.

After absorbing everything and cultivating a little more, Awei will also be able to possess the Crystal Escape ability.

Compared to the Kaleidoscope, Crystal Escape is far inferior.

For Awei, it wasn't difficult to master.

It's no exaggeration to say that if Awei were given a day, he could not only possess Crystal Escape, but its power would far surpass that of Crimson Lotus.

As for developing the Crystal Escape technique, that will require a little more time.

But for Awei now, Crystal Escape is just icing on the cake; it would be good enough if it could improve his strength even slightly.

Without wasting too much time, Ah Wei devoured all the crystal shards on the ground and then used his mayfly technique to leave.

Next, he's going to Konoha!
