Chapter 35 Danzo is attacked yet again.

In a forest on the edge of Konoha Village, the Nagakage, his body half-wounded, leaned on a cane and headed towards the Hokage Building.

Although the forest is full of venomous snakes and ferocious beasts, they pose no threat to him. Moreover, he doesn't need to take action himself; his Root ninjas will handle it.

The light screen hadn't disappeared yet, but he was already considering contacting Orochimaru.

Before Orochimaru defected, he secretly collaborated with him on research into Wood Release.

In order to study Wood Release, they even used the cells of the First Hokage.

It's unbelievable, really. Even after the First Hokage died, his cells still had strong activity. He truly deserves to be called the God of Shinobi!

With significant investment, research on Wood Release has yielded considerable results.

Besides the interstitial cells implanted in him, there was another relatively successful experimental subject, originally a member of his root tissue, codenamed 'A'.

When he sent people to assassinate the third generation, Jia was the one who was dispatched.

When Orochimaru defected, he also gave Kagami the task of assisting Orochimaru in his escape.

Later, A betrayed him.

Bewitched by Kakashi, Kakashi broke away from Root and joined the monkey's Dark Side, taking the name Tenzo.

It's really infuriating.

Konoha's White Fang is a cowardly good-for-nothing, Kakashi is also a good-for-nothing, and Kou is a traitor...

However, although A—no, now Kakashi's subordinate Tenzo—was a successful experimental subject fused with Hashirama's cells, his Wood Release was still far inferior to that of Hashirama Senju.

Embarrassingly, his mastery of Wood Release was not as good as that of Tenzo.

If it weren't for the Sharingan suppressing him, he would have been corrupted by Hashirama's cells long ago.

Suddenly, his expression changed as he noticed a burning explosive tag not far from him.

A second glance revealed dozens of explosive tags scattered around the area—in tree branches, grass, and bushes…

This was a carefully laid trap, and he was careless, stepping right into it.

"Boom~"

Dozens of explosive tags exploded almost simultaneously, while several kunai attacked him from behind.

With a quick movement and a substitution jutsu, Danzo dodged the explosion of the explosive tags, avoided several kunai, threw away his cane, and rapidly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release - Vacuum Wave Barrage"

With the hand seals completed, the chakra is activated in the form of a technique.

Danzo exhaled several sharp, weasel-like breaths that could not only sever the opponent's flesh but also cut off their chakra.

Although this is only a B-rank ninjutsu, Danzo is a 'Kage-level ninja,' so even if he used it hastily, its power should not be underestimated.

In the blink of an eye, the area within dozens of meters was a mess, but the attackers were not exposed.

Danzo's face darkened.

At this moment, several Root Ninja wearing animal masks arrived.

For Root Ninja, Lord Danzo's safety was of utmost importance.

"A bunch of useless trash," Danzo sneered, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

Although this was only on the edge of Konoha, it was still within Konoha's territory, and Danzo was attacked in Konoha, which shows the incompetence of Root.

Fortunately, he remained vigilant throughout.

Of course, he still has some means of self-preservation; even if he is careless, he will only suffer minor injuries at most.

Several of the ninja knelt on one knee, bowing their heads to beg for forgiveness.

After cursing the Root Ninja, Danzo retrieved his cane and turned to walk out of the forest.

One of the Root ninjas quickly followed behind Danzo.

Suddenly, Danzo felt uneasy.

As the kunai swept past, Danzo got a wound on his right shoulder.

His head was almost cut off.

Danzo was both shocked and furious as he instantly created distance.

"Who are you?" Danzo's gaze was icy.

Danzo was furious after being attacked repeatedly. His Root ninja subordinates were well under control and couldn't possibly assassinate him; this must be an imposter.

To impersonate a Root Ninja and assassinate him is, to put it bluntly, insane.

The 'Root Ninja' who failed in his sneak attack didn't say a word and fled in a flash.

"Chase after him, dead or alive!" Danzo gritted his teeth.

Suddenly, a snake appeared not far behind Danzo.

A scroll was spat out of the snake's mouth.

"Orochimaru? What's he up to now?" Danzo frowned, but still walked over and took the scroll from Orochimaru's mouth.

Opening the scroll triggered a sealing spell.

Despite Danzo's vigilance, he still fell victim to the trap.

Immediately, Danzo felt that his chakra could not circulate.

Is it a technique for sealing chakra?

Danzo also possessed considerable skill in sealing techniques.

Konoha inherited the sealing techniques of the Uzumaki clan, which far surpassed those of other ninja villages. As an advisor to Konoha, Danzo could freely peruse the village's sealing techniques and thus learned quite a bit. In addition, he developed his own techniques, so he wasn't too worried now.

At that moment, Kabuto appeared, his right hand chakra scalpel slicing towards Danzo's right hand artery.

Danzo took out a kunai and blocked Kabuto's attack.

“…Yakushi Kabuto!” Danzo sneered, his eyes narrowed.

In this short period of time, Danzo was already able to use a small amount of chakra.

First came the explosive tag traps and kunai throws, then he impersonated a Root ninja, then used the snakes in Ryuchi Cave to spit out the sealing scroll, and finally revealed himself to deliver the final blow.

However, he was underestimated. He was the Dark One of the Ninjas!

In Konoha, Danzo was second only to one person.

Kabuto's strength is not bad, but he is still far inferior to the dejected Kakashi.

If Kabuto were given a few more years, he might be able to go toe-to-toe with Kakashi!
"You think you can assassinate me with such meager skills? How naive," Danzo sneered.

The fact that Kabuto came to assassinate him must have been influenced by the light barrier.

Including this time, the light screen has appeared several times.

Many people were affected by the light screen.

He had expected it, so he wasn't too surprised when Dou came to assassinate him.

However, Konoha's defensive capabilities are still insufficient!
Dou sneaked up to the edge of the village and no one noticed him.

It's intriguing that they were able to use the snakes of Ryuchi Cave to deceive him.

"The third generation needs someone to take the blame, but Konoha doesn't need a 5.5 Hokage." Kabuto adjusted his glasses and smiled.

Upon hearing this, Danzo's face darkened.

Nowadays, Danzo hates hearing about the 5.5th Hokage or the "pot-making kage".

At first, I didn't understand what "Guoying" meant, but gradually I realized it meant someone was taking the blame.

"You dare to assassinate me? You have some guts, but you're also incredibly foolish." Danzo thrust his kunai at Kabuto.

Kabuto could not withstand the kunai in the hands of 'Old Man Hanbashi'.

Kabuto knew in his heart that the assassination attempt on Danzo had failed.

But Kabuto didn't retreat immediately; he wasn't quite ready to give up.

During the battle, Danzo's bandages broke.

Suddenly, his three Sharingan eyes were exposed.

Danzo's right eye was transplanted with Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, but it is now only a three-tomoe Sharingan and has not been transformed into a Mangekyou Sharingan. On the other hand, Danzo's right arm was transplanted with two one-tomoe Sharingan.

Danzo's desire to destroy the Uchiha clan was partly motivated by his aim to collect Sharingan eyes.

Currently, quite a few members of the Uchiha clan have awakened the three-tomoe Sharingan.

If Danzo were to have more Sharingan with three tomoe transplanted into his arm, his strength would increase significantly, and it would be easier to suppress the erosion of Hashirama's cells on his body.
