Chapter 107 Danzo's Threat (Please Subscribe and Vote)
Konoha.

It was already past 10 p.m., and the streets of Konoha were dimly lit, peaceful and quiet.

Uzumaki Ina emerged from Uzumaki Kushina's house, her steps light and cheerful as she hummed an unknown tune as she walked home.

She was so happy because she had finally mastered the Vajra Sealing Technique.

While she can't yet be compared to Kushina Uzumaki, she is at least proficient in using and controlling her abilities.

This also means that her own strength has increased rapidly.

After all, the Vajra Locking Technique is a very comprehensive sealing technique, combining long-range, mid-range, and close-range attacks, sealing, and barriers. It can also be described as an A-level sealing technique that integrates offense, defense, and sealing.

After mastering it, Ina Uzumaki felt that she could go to Konoha Hospital to learn medical ninjutsu.

Once you've mastered medical ninjutsu, you can start doing missions with Genichi Kinoshita.

"It's the end of August now, it should be about time next year."

Uzumaki Ina clenched her fist and waved it: "We still need to keep working hard!"

shhhhhh!
Suddenly, three figures landed in front of Uzumaki Ina, and another figure appeared behind her.

Uzumaki Ina stopped in her tracks, looking at the three people in front of her with suspicion and wariness.

Wearing a mask, they must be from the Anbu, but it's unclear whether they are directly under the Hokage's command or from Root.

If it's at the root...

Uzumaki Ina immediately recalled Genichi Kishita's earlier instructions, and a massive amount of chakra instantly flowed through her body.

Influenced by Genichi Kinoshita, Genbu was seen as a bad person, someone who could never be trusted.

"Who are you?"

Uzumaki Ina asked.

“Uzumaki Ina, we come from the Root.”

"Lord Danzo wants to see you. Please come with us!"

One of the Root ninjas spoke, his tone calm yet brooking no refusal.

Uzumaki Ina shook her head decisively: "I don't know any Danzo, I only know the Third Hokage."

"Get out of my way, I want to go home."

The Root ninja beneath the mask frowned.

You say you don't know about Root, I can barely believe it, but you don't know about Lord Danzo... that's going too far!
The leader of the Root ninjas then extended his hand: "Uzumaki Ina, you'd better come with us!"

"Don't worry, we will ensure your safety."

Uzumaki Ina continued to shake her head: "I'm not going, get out of my way!"

Just then, Danzo slowly walked out from a dark alley on one side.

The four Root ninjas immediately bowed: "Lord Danzo!"

Uzumaki Ina turned around and looked warily at Danzo who came out.

Genichi Kinoshita had told her that he was a bad person, the worst person in Konoha, just like the people in Kusagakure.

Danzo looked at the wary Uzumaki Ina without caring, and said calmly, "Uzumaki Ina, join Root. Only by joining Root will your talents be properly developed."

Uzumaki Ina shook her head without hesitation: "I'm not going. Get out of my way. I'm going home."

Danzo coldly replied, "Don't you want to consider Genichi Kinoshita?"

"And what about Genichi's parents? You don't want anything to happen to them, do you?"

Uzumaki Ina's alarm bells immediately went off: "As expected, this is aimed at Lord Genichi!"

Danzo continued to threaten: "As long as you secretly join Root, I can guarantee the absolute safety of Genichi Koushi and his family."

"Uzumaki Ina, you don't want anything to happen to Genichi Kinoshita while he's on a mission, do you?"

Uzumaki Ina immediately revealed her anger: "Damn it, how dare you threaten Lord Genichi!"

She reacted immediately, and five diamond chains clattered out.

"Danzo-sama, be careful!"

The Root ninja appeared in front of Danzo, then raised one hand and said, "Lord Danzo, just take her away by force!"

Danzo frowned slightly, not expecting Uzumaki Ina to react so strongly and not seem threatened.

But it was clearly different from the intelligence he possessed.

Based on the intelligence gathered, it is predicted that Uzumaki Ina will compromise because of Genichi Kinoshita and his family, secretly join Root, and become a pawn of Root on the outside.

Danzo had tried this method many times and it always worked.

But now... it's stopped working?

Could it be that Genichi Kinoshita and his family are not Uzumaki Ina's weakness?
Danzo did not immediately order a forced attack, because that would be a last resort and would have no chance of success.

However, before Danzo could react, Ina Uzumaki attacked herself, her Adamantine Chains lashing out like iron whips, sending all four Root ninjas flying.

Uzumaki Ina did not continue fighting the Root ninjas, but turned and ran.

She did not consider herself a match for Danzo.

Moreover, Genichi Kishita had previously told her not to fight back, but to just run away.

Uzumaki Ina did not return to Genichi Kinoshita's family home because Genichi Kinoshita's parents were just ordinary people, and this was also something Genichi Kinoshita had instructed her to do beforehand.

The four Root ninjas were somewhat bewildered after getting up.

Is this woman so brave?
They actually dared to rebel against Root in Konoha!
No, it was taking the initiative to attack them.

"Lord Danzo, what do we do now?"

"I asked the Root ninja."

Danzo is now in a bit of a predicament.

Uzumaki Ina's reaction was completely unexpected.

However, Danzo quickly realized what was happening and ordered, "Chase!"

"Take him down on the grounds that he threatens the safety of the Jinchūriki."

The four Root ninjas immediately obeyed the order to give chase.

Danzo remained unmoved, already pondering how to clean up the mess.

If the plan fails, Hiruzen Sarutobi will definitely intervene.

His reason for taking action was also very plausible; it was just a way for him to save face.

Danzo also believed and was confident that since no damage had been caused, Hiruzen Sarutobi would simply let the matter drop.

Danzo was filled with even greater anger and resentment. Hokage, Hokage…

If he were the Hokage, he wouldn't need to use such methods to recruit talent.

Under the moonlight, Danzo looked up toward the Hokage Rock, his ambition surging within him.

the other side.

Uzumaki Ina unleashed her full power in a sprint, moving at a speed that the Root ninjas couldn't catch up with for a while.

Uzumaki Ina rushed to the Namikaze Minato residence in one breath, shouting, "Kushina-neechan!"

His voice was filled with panic.

This wasn't an act; she was genuinely a little panicked.

Because she knew about Root and Danzo.

He was a contemporary of the Third Hokage, and the current Hokage's assistant; both were once members of the Second Hokage's bodyguard team.

Danzo's strength must have been extremely powerful.

Uzumaki Ina didn't want to be captured by Root, which made Genichi Kinoshita hesitant to act, and he was threatened by Danzo.

At that moment, Kushina Uzumaki was lying in bed when she heard Ina Uzumaki's panicked shout. She immediately jumped out of bed, rushed through the window in her pajamas, and countless shards of glass fell from the sky, landing in front of Ina Uzumaki.

"Jinai, what happened?"

Kushina Uzumaki asked hurriedly.

As soon as she finished speaking, figures landed in front of her.

Kushina Uzumaki frowned: "Root ninja!"

She has a deep understanding of the dark and the root areas and can easily distinguish them.

Uzumaki Ina quickly said, "Kushina-neechan, they want to take me to Root to threaten Genichi."

Danzo?

Threatening Xuan Yi?

Kushina Uzumaki immediately recalled many unpleasant memories, her face contorted with anger as she shouted, "Do you have the Hokage's orders?"

The Root ninja coldly replied, "We are following Lord Danzo's orders."

Kushina's anger surged even more.

She was no longer the little girl she once was, and she could easily guess Danzo's intentions in taking Uzumaki Naan away.

She was under the double protection of the Anbu and Root for a long time. If it weren't for Minato Namikaze, she would never be where she is today.

Moreover, the actions of the Root today reminded her of her experience of being kidnapped by the Cloud Ninja years ago.

That was when she felt most desperate and powerless.

It was Minato Namikaze's appearance that brought her hope and light.

From then on, Minato Namikaze became her family.

And Uzumaki Ina is now also considered family by her.

She didn't want Uzumaki Ina to experience what she had gone through.

boom!
With a burst of chakra, Kushina Uzumaki's long, flowing red hair flew wildly.

Immediately afterwards, the ground exploded, and a series of Vajra chains emerged from the ground, binding and locking the four Root ninjas, suspending them in the air.

"what?"

The Root ninjas were surprised that the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki would suddenly become enraged and attack. After being bound by the Adamantine Chains, they were unable to even refine their chakra.

shhhhhh!
Then another person appeared, also wearing a mask, behind Kushina Uzumaki.

"Lady Kushina, what happened?"

The newcomers were members of the Hokage's direct ANBU unit, and also the ANBU squad protecting Kushina Uzumaki.

In the past, such a protection team would have taken turns protecting Kushina's house around the clock.

For a time, Kushina Uzumaki was even restricted from leaving her residential area.

However, as Kushina Uzumaki grew stronger, this was no longer necessary, so the ANBU squad simply stayed nearby to deal with any emergencies.

They set off as soon as they heard the sound, but did not appear immediately upon seeing the Root ninjas.

But Kushina Uzumaki made a move directly, and that changed everything.

boom!
Four Root ninjas were slammed to the ground by Kushina Uzumaki, who coldly said, "These bastards want to take Ina away!"

"And we didn't receive any orders from the Hokage at all!"

"Go and arrest them, and hand them over to the Hokage for disposal."

The four ANBU ninjas looked at each other in bewilderment, but then stepped forward and subdued the four Root ninjas who were unable to resist.

Two of the ANBU ninjas left with four Root ninjas, leaving two behind to guard Kushina Uzumaki.

Kushina patted Ina on the shoulder and said confidently, "Ina, don't worry, I won't let anyone touch you."

"Hmph, that Danzo guy, I'll definitely teach him a lesson later."

The ANBU ninjas behind them exchanged glances and couldn't help but smile.

They also dislike the roots.

Too embarrassing!

Or rather, they're becoming increasingly arrogant.

Uzumaki Ina whispered, "Kushina-neechan, let's go to Tsunade-sama's!"

Kushina Uzumaki asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Don't worry, with me here, Danzo won't dare to act recklessly."

Uzumaki Ina shook her head: "Xuan Yi said that Lady Tsunade can help us, but Minato isn't home right now."

Kushina Uzumaki thought for a moment and immediately understood.

It wasn't that Uzumaki Ina didn't trust her as a person or her abilities, but rather that she knew her identity.

"That Xuan Yi guy... Hmph, I'll definitely teach him a lesson when he gets back!"

Kushina Uzumaki said unhappily, then smiled and said, "Alright, let's go, I'll take you to Lady Tsunade's place!"

Uzumaki Ina smiled and nodded: "Mm!"

So the four of them leaped towards Tsunade's house.
