Avengers of the Whirlpool Family.

Chapter 388: Stealth in the Shadows

At this moment, here, the intention of the two people's private meeting is self-evident.

This is a Konoha Jonin named Axing.

It is obvious that he is also one of Danzo's subordinates, or at least someone who has been bribed by Danzo.

"Can we get accurate information?"

Shan Zhongfeng looked at Ah Xing and asked with a very cold expression.

Ah Xing also looked like he had gotten used to it. He was no longer as gentle as he usually was when interacting with Shikaku and the others. Instead, he had a cold expression that was almost the same as Shan Zhongfeng. He nodded slightly and replied, "Although there is not much valuable information, we can roughly determine a range during this period of time. But this is probably just a trick by the other side to lure them out. Otherwise, there is no reason to explain why the Hikari Village, that Uzumaki Menma, would allow those little guys in the delegation to walk around. If we act rashly, it will easily attract the attention of the other side."

"It's okay. Lord Danzo's order is to find out as much as possible whether Namikaze Naruto is alive or dead, as well as his exact location. Even if we fail, it will not affect Lord Danzo's plan."

Shan Zhongfeng still had that indifferent look on his face. It was obvious that such a mission was directly linked to his own life, but Shan Zhongfeng, who had already dedicated everything to Danzo, didn't care at all.

Danzo's intentions were already very clear.

If the news that Naruto is still alive can be confirmed.

Danzo felt that he now had a weakness that would allow him to easily exploit Menma from now on, and even if he failed, it was Danzo's intention to ignite the relationship between the two villages.

Want to make peace with the Hidden Light Village?

There are no doors!

Danzo Shimura would never allow such a thing to happen.

As the ultimate fighter, Danzo Shimura not only has the ambition to completely dominate the ninja world, but he also feels that Konoha's strength can overwhelm the entire ninja world.

No matter what the reason is, Danzo really has this kind of mysterious confidence.

It's like the reason why Konoha had such a hard time in the Second and Third Ninja World Wars was because of Sarutobi Hiruzen's poor leadership (although there was indeed a little reason behind it.)
As long as Danzo Shimura came to power, he could lead Konoha to sweep across the entire ninja world in a minute.

The best proof is that the plan to collapse Konoha and Pain's attack remained in place.

Danzo really believed that his ascension to the throne would definitely bring revival to Konoha.

Inside the Root, even though it seems like everyone is cursed, there are indeed a group of people who will obey Danzo 100% even without the curse. They truly regard Danzo as the light of hope for the Hidden Leaf Village.

The famous mountain wind in front of us is such a thing.

When Ah Xing heard what Shan Zhongfeng said, his brows jumped. After all, he was a special jonin in the Hidden Leaf Village. A ninja who could be promoted to this level could be regarded as a little genius in the ninja world.

Chunin and Genin are the largest in number.

Ah Xing wanted to say something, but considering the character of his master Danzo, he endured it.

"It's best if you have the information yourself. I'll keep an eye on Lu Jiu and the others. Go quickly and come back quickly!"

Ah Xing took out a scroll from his arms and handed it to Shan Zhongfeng opposite him, while speaking very seriously.

"Oh, don't worry, everything will go smoothly."

Shan Zhongfeng took the scroll, opened it, and took in all the information inside into his mind, then nodded.

"Whoosh!"

Then he leaped forward.

Just leave.

Ah Xing was also watching Shan Zhongfeng leave.

His figure blended into the shadows and returned the same way.

He also had to hide the traces of Shan Zhongfeng's departure.

The original reliance, after becoming an opponent in the shadow, can easily bring great damage. This is why, in the absence of an obvious gap, internal problems are always more terrifying and direct than external threats.

Because you have no way of knowing for sure who will be the knife and when it will stab you in the back.

The more critical the moment.

Such a backstab will cause greater damage.

Not to mention that he is the only perception-type ninja in a team like Axing. Once he "betrays", the threat he brings will be even more unpredictable.

Under normal circumstances.

Everyone will be calculated by it.

Even a man of extraordinary wisdom like Shikaku was no exception. Who could have known that one of Tsunade's most trusted subordinates, selected by her personally, would actually be a hidden man under Danzo?

All we can say is that Tsunade has been in power for too short a time.

It was only two years, and most importantly, he had been away from the Hidden Leaf Village for more than ten years. He did not have a stable base, but he suddenly came to power. It was indeed easy for such problems to arise. If Sarutobi Hiruzen was in power, most of Danzo's actions would not have been hidden from Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes.

The Third Hokage held the highest power in the Hidden Leaf Village for more than forty years.

Tsunade has to be compared to her own Hokage teacher.

From the perspective of control, the gap is not even a little bit. In the original work, Danzo directly gave the list of Anbu directly under the Hokage to Orochimaru, and Tsunade only learned about it later. This is enough to show that Tsunade's control over the entire ninja village is really not enough.

Ah Xing is in the delegation this time.

It's just a microcosm.

In the Hikari Village shrouded in darkness, more than 90% of the people were in a deep sleep at that moment.

"whoosh"

In the narrow path at the edge of the village.

Shan Zhongfeng's figure was moving quickly inside.

The vast perception that permeates everywhere and at all times.

And that keen insight.

Based on the intelligence collected previously, Shan Zhongfeng avoided more than 90% of the night patrol personnel.

Even a small number of people are blocking the way.

With Shan Zhongfeng's ability, he can also easily avoid the patrols of these guarding light ninjas.

They are the elite among the roots.

He is one of Danzo's most trusted subordinates.

In terms of personal strength, he is definitely at the level of a jonin. Even though it has now been renamed the Hikari Village, its foundation is still the same as before. Compared with Yamanaka Fuu, the gap is naturally very obvious.

It was easy to travel through half of the ninja village.

In the northeast corner of the ninja village we arrived at.

"Is it in this area? It seems we still need to search slowly."

The mountain wind exhaled lightly.

There was a hint of coldness in that pair of golden pupils.

"Snapped!"

With a clap of hands.

That huge perception that spreads as far as possible.

Just like plowing the land, scanning it inch by inch.

Try to obtain a certain amount of intelligence as much as possible.

Taking risky actions for inaccurate information may even cost one's life. This is a way of thinking and behavior that ordinary people cannot understand, but for ninjas, it is commonplace, not to mention the existence of the Root.

Among the people under Danzo's command.

There is no option to reject the task.

Either complete the mission or die in the process.

This is the fate of those at the root.

And that was when Shan Zhongfeng spread out his perception as much as possible, searching bit by bit for any chakra aura that might be related to Naruto.

“Da da da da”

suddenly.

In a small alley between two houses on the left.

There was a slightly crisp sound of footsteps.

It was obviously a figure gradually approaching.

The moment I heard it.

"!?"

Shan Zhongfeng's heart suddenly shook.

The chakra aura that he had never sensed before suddenly appeared within his perception range.

Even Shan Zhongfeng's expression changed wildly at this moment. He suddenly turned around and stared at the slender figure that had appeared in his eyes.

"You're still secretly coming out in the middle of the night. Why can't you give me some peace of mind? It's already the last night, and you're still doing this."

The words that fell lightly seemed somewhat helpless.

The long white dress, the high black ponytail, the slightly sickly pale face, and the extremely thin figure.

If ordinary people saw it.

One would only think that this was a sickly and thin young man.

however.

Shan Zhongfeng could clearly sense how terrifying the black-haired young man in front of him was. The terrifying chakra aura was almost tangible.

The moment it hits you.

Shan Zhongfeng's body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Just like when he first witnessed the terrifying power of the tailed beast on the battlefield, Shan Zhongfeng had the same feeling when facing this black-haired young man.

This black-haired young man was none other than him.

It is the person Menma trusts the most, and it should be said that he is the most powerful person under his command today - Musuke!
After all, Wuque now can be said to have fully mastered the power of enlightenment.

He can even transform freely into Wu to fight, so the One-Tail to the Seven-Tail may not necessarily be a match for Wuque.

The difference in strength between the enemy and us is clearly visible.

Therefore, even if you don’t see or sense other enemies approaching.

Shan Zhongfeng's heartstrings were already extremely tense.

With a flip of one hand.

He directly took out a sharp kunai.

"Haha, I still advise you not to resist stubbornly, just follow me obediently, this way, you can suffer less. Otherwise, Master Menma has told me that as long as you are alive, it will be fine."

Looking at the fighting posture of Shan Zhongfeng.

Wuqiu still looked relaxed and calm, with the corner of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a hint of coldness.

Just a jonin.

And he is obviously a ninja who specializes in perception.

In Wuque's eyes, it was indeed not good enough.

The current Wuque can be said to have already touched the threshold of super shadow. Wu's characteristics and the way he displays his power are truly unique.

Facing Wuque's light and nonchalant threat.

The mountain wind made my eyelids tremble.

You have to know that as long as Danzo gives the order, even the Hokage dares to assassinate the people of the Root, so what does it matter how strong the enemy is?

Lord Danzo's orders are everything!
"boom!"

Chakra adjusted.

The muscles are directly tensed to the extreme.

next second.

"boom!"

The figure of Shan Zhongfeng who was rushing up into the sky.

“Swish, swish, swish, swish!”

In the process of moving forward.

He quickly shot out countless shurikens from his hands.

A cold shadow came over the sky and earth.

Perfect technology.

An extremely fierce and powerful attack.

From the perspective of an ordinary ninja, Yamanaka Feng's level is already very high, but such an attack is already extremely threatening to an ordinary ninja.

Wuque yawned out of boredom.

"boom!"

The chakra on the soles of the feet exploded.

It was Wuqi who charged head-on.

"Ding ding ding ding!"

"What!?"

Just directly withstand those shurikens.

A completely nonchalant attitude.

In Shan Zhongfeng's suddenly shrunken pupils, these shurikens were forcefully shot out one after another in an instant.

"Whoosh!"

Wuqiu flew directly to the closest position to the mountain.

Two people facing each other.

This is a clear display of coercion.

Shan Zhongfeng forced himself to suppress the shock in his heart and quickly formed a special seal with his hands.

The gaze met.

"Heart Turning Technique!"

Shan Zhongfeng, who had no way out, immediately used his family secret technique. He was confident that as long as his technique was successful, he would be able to win easily.

Normally speaking, Shan Zhongfeng's judgment is correct.

Unfortunately, the person he was facing could not be considered a "human" at all.

Just a technique of turning your mind around?
Sorry.

Any illusion is meaningless in front of Wuque. Even the 'Infinite Tsukuyomi Technique' in the original work that almost hypnotized the entire ninja world cannot hypnotize Wuque, because Wuque is now Satoru, and Satoru is a monster born from the Box of Bliss, and also a product of the Yin-Yang Release of the Six Paths Sage.

Therefore, it was almost at the moment when Yamanaka Wind Technique took effect.

The mind that is impacting.

"boom!"

At that moment.

It was like a huge black shadow directly covering it.

This kind of cold feeling fills the whole body.

The whole person's soul seems to be tightly bound.

In an instant, many negative emotions, completely out of Shan Zhongfeng's control, directly poured into his brain.

The brain is directly shaken.

next moment.

It's like facing hell.

An expression of extreme fear appeared on Shan Zhongfeng's face. Humans are human after all. Even the most well-trained elite ninja will still have his own psychological weaknesses.

As long as he is not a machine.

It would be impossible to withstand the invasion of such a huge amount of negative emotions.

Completely chaotic thinking.

"what!!!!!"

After letting out an extremely shrill scream.

Shan Zhongfeng's head tilted and he fell limply to the ground, falling into a deep coma.

There is no need for Wuqiu to take any action.

This is an elite Root member who carries Danzo's orders.

He was defeated by his own technique.

I have to say it is quite ironic.
