Chapter 67 A Life-and-Death War

Misawa Bridge.

Konoha position.

"Minato, what the hell is going on? What happened in Tosatsuyama?!"

Inside the tent, Danzo, who had just arrived at the position not long ago, loudly questioned Namikaze Minato. His already gloomy face was now as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Namikaze Minato sat in his seat without saying a word. His depressed mood made Kushina beside him feel distressed. She couldn't help but yell at Danzo: "You old man, don't you see the injuries on Minato's body? What are you arguing about!"

"you!"

Such words immediately made Danzo's nose crooked with anger. In the entire Konoha, no one dared to talk to him like this.

"What are you talking about? If it weren't for Minato, the frontline position would have been breached by Kirigakure long ago. Who are you yelling to?"

"Alright Kushina..."

A hoarse voice came out of Minato's mouth. He was in a very bad condition. Although the frostbites on his body had been treated, his spirit was extremely low. His sky-blue eyes were now bloodshot.

He stood up and bowed deeply to Danzo.

"I'm so sorry Danzo-sama."

"What I want to hear is not an apology, but a battle report! It's intelligence analysis!" Danzo said coldly: "I need to understand what happened in Dongsongshan, who the enemy is, and why it has become like this!"

The entire Dongsongshan position was wiped out. Not to mention the people, even the entire position was still in a frozen state, like an ice tomb.

Hundreds of Konoha ninjas died there, even Hiruzen's eldest son...

Hiruzen's eldest son is really good, with a strong character and excellent talent. Every time Danzo sees that kid, he always feels like he's seeing a young Sarutobi Hiruzen, and every time that kid sees him, he always calls him "Uncle Danzo".

Unlike Hiruzen's youngest son, who was born stupid, lazy, and addicted to smoking at a young age...

"It's Mizunozuki-ya."

Namikaze Minato whispered: "It was Mizunoe who froze the entire Higashimatsu Mountain! In addition, there is another enemy who has mastered Wood Release and the special Sharingan!"

"The Kirigakure released the Three-Tails at Higashimatsuyama. Although we defeated the Three-Tails Jinchuriki, Mizunoe Tsukiyomi and that..."

Namikaze Minato quickly described everything that happened on Higashinatsuyama.

Although it was just a verbal description, those special nouns made everyone present frown.

Three-tailed, Wood Release, special Sharingan, Ice Release that froze the entire Higashimatsu Mountain...

Any one of these words alone is very significant, let alone when they are put together!

"Wood Release and Mangekyō Sharingan..."

Danzo's body began to tense up, and his only remaining eye stared at Minato Namikaze: "Boy, do you know what you are talking about!"

As a disciple of the second generation Hokage, Danzo can be said to be one of the few people in the entire ninja world who has seen these two powers. That is the power of the former ninja god and the ninja world's Shura, the power that pacified the chaotic world and founded Konoha!
Since the death of those two ancestors, these two forces have disappeared in the ninja world. The Uchiha clan has never had a Mangekyō again, and the Senju clan has never grown any new saplings.

In order to allow these powers to continue to protect Konoha, the Root represented by Danzo conducted countless human experiments, spent countless manpower and material resources, and finally achieved some results.

But at this moment, Minato Namikaze actually told him that in the ninja world, there have long been people who have mastered this power, and they have mastered two powers at the same time. How can Danzo accept this? !
"The remnants of his Wood Release should still be left in the Higashimatsu Mountain, frozen in ice. As for those eyes, I don't know if they are the Mangekyō you mentioned, but they are definitely not ordinary three-magatama Sharingan." Minato said in a deep voice: "In addition, he also mastered an extremely terrifying space-time ninjutsu that can turn himself into a virtual being, thus avoiding all attacks. He is extremely powerful."

Not only Wood Release and Mangekyō, but he also mastered Space-Time Ninjutsu...

"In the Hidden Mist, such a monster actually appeared..."

Danzo's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

A Mizunozuki night, a combination of Wood Release and Mangekyo.

It seems that the blood mist village, which is closed to the outside world, contains secrets unknown to everyone...

"Master Danzo, what should we do?"

There was helplessness and hesitation in Minato's voice, and coupled with his listless appearance, the little sun in Konoha now looked like a setting sun.

"I really have no other choice. First, Master Jiraiya, then Brother Shinnosuke, and everyone else..."

"You know, I watched them, I watched them lose their lives one by one in the ice and snow, I watched them being killed one by one by Mizunotsuki Ye... I could only watch, I couldn't do anything, I... I..."

"Snapped!"

The crutch in Danzo's hand fell hard on Minato Namikaze, knocking him to the ground.

"Danzo! What are you doing!" Kushina shouted angrily.

"Shut up!"

Danzo's one eye stared at Minato Namikaze: "Is this unbearable, Minato Namikaze? Are you desperate now?!"

"I thought you were a promising talent, a general who could stand on your own, but now it seems that that loser Jiraiya didn't teach you anything at all! If you had stayed in my root for two years, you would never show this attitude!"

"War is always cruel, you should know this very well, killing, death. But all of this is for a beautiful and peaceful tomorrow!"

“It’s like the roots where I am.”

"There are so many shady things in Konoha, and they are all handled by the root. There are so many things that can only be solved by killing and darkness, and they are all carried by the root! Why is this? This is all for the towering tree of Konoha to grow better!"

"If you can't even bear this little setback, this little blow, then go back to Konoha!"

"I……"

Namikaze Minato looked at Danzo, clenched his fists, and took a deep breath: "Danzo, please teach me, what should I do!"

"teach?"

Danzo said coldly: "Hasn't Kirigakure already laid out the answer for you? Do you still need me to teach you?"

"Wha, what?"

Namikaze Minato was stunned, but soon understood what Danzo meant, and his face changed slightly: "This!"

"Think about the compatriots who died in Konoha, think about the frozen East Songshan, think about your teacher." Danzo walked out of the tent with a cane. Only a cold voice came faintly: "This is war, a life-and-death war!"
