Behind him, the two Root members who had just fought the World halfway through, after confirming that the World was gone, hurriedly prepared to support Danzo, but were stopped by a short sword.

"They're not quite enough for me to fight."

Of the seven ninjas that White Fang was originally facing, only three are still sweating profusely.

If you can't react to White Fang's blade, then the slightest gap, the biggest mistake, or the biggest error will be your death.

Initially, the seven players could put up a slight counterattack, but after the first player lost a point, it was like an avalanche, with the rate of point loss accelerating rapidly. The number quickly dwindled to only three.

Danzo shouted, clutching his chest wound.

"Uchiha Lin Yi? He's awakened the Sharingan too? As expected of the Uchiha clan..."

Before he could finish speaking, Danzo entered within ten meters of Lin Yi again.

Why don't you learn from your mistakes?

"Muda!"

The world instantly appeared on the other side where Danzo's swelling hadn't occurred, his sharp eyes filled with coldness.

A punch landed.

bang——

Two already loose teeth flew out, and another mouthful of blood spurted out.

Wow, it's really tough.

"Come back, everyone!"

Danzo shouted, his mouth bulging.

"Form ranks!"

Danzo shakily got up from the ground and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The elite troops behind them, disregarding the ghostly White Fang, rushed to Danzo's side at the cost of losing another member.

Danzo gradually retreated behind the remaining six people, four of whom, whose condition was still barely acceptable, surrounded Danzo and began to form hand seals.

Although Lin Yi and Bai Ya didn't know what kind of trouble they were up to, they wouldn't let them succeed so easily.

The two quickly ran towards Danzo and the others.

The two outside didn't retreat at all, but instead advanced, running towards the master and disciple.

"Lin Yi, retreat!"

Bai Ya's voice came to Lin Yi's ears.

Lin Yi naturally wouldn't be reckless, and quickly followed Shuo Mao to the rear.

boom---

A cloud of smoke rose from the spot.

Does the detonation tag self-destruct?

Lin Yi turned to look at his master, his white teeth filled with coldness.

He despises the idea of ​​turning ninjas into machines!

"Four Red Sun Formation!"

As the smoke slowly dissipated, four purplish-red walls of light sealed the four people who had formed the array and Danzo in the middle.

Lin Yi and Bai Ya exchanged a glance, then each took a short blade and began to slash at the barrier.

hum~

The moon blade barely touched the barrier before it rippled slightly, sending Lin Yi flying back.

Sakumo was also blocked.

"It's no use, your killing techniques can't break this formation."

Danzo calmly sat down cross-legged inside, the panic on his face gone.

"The Hokage will arrive in five minutes. Please leave now."

White Fang and his apprentices are both extremely formidable assassins, possessing exceptionally high elimination efficiency.

When facing an enemy, as long as you can break through their defenses, it's a matter of one strike.

But the most feared opponents are those with high defense and high health, like the Tailed Beasts—their defenses are unbreakable, or their recovery ability is too strong.

It's like an assassin encountering a tank.

The Four Red Yang Formation can even block the Tailed Beast Ball; under normal circumstances, this move is used to seal off the enemy.

But given the current situation, Danzo did not hesitate to use it on himself, allowing four casters to use it inside, turning what was originally a trapping formation into a defensive barrier.

After swallowing a soldier's ration pill, Lin Yi straightened up.

"Ola Ola Ola Ola Ola!"

Under Danzo's astonished gaze, ripples continued to spread across the surface of the Four Red Yang Formation.

The four ninjas inside were also trembling slightly.

The entire barrier immediately began to tremble and crumble.

Lin Yi glanced reluctantly at the now slightly faded barrier in front of him, then sat down again.

"Give up, kid!"

"Lin Yi, should we retreat?"

White Fang spoke softly, "The Hokage is about to arrive."

Some things, done in secret and known only to you and me, have two different outcomes than done in public and discovered.

Lin Yi shook his head.

He chose to kill Danzo this time because, after talking to his teacher, he discovered that Danzo was a cunning old fox.

Even Sakumo Hatake, the head of the Anbu, knew nothing about his movements, or even about Root, an organization subordinate to the Anbu.

If possible, he would like to proceed gradually.

However, he cannot keep track of Danzo's movements, while Danzo will gradually gain information about him and White Fang.

Moreover, the Third Hokage is already old, and the Fourth Hokage could succeed him at any time. Whether it's to allow the teacher to take over or to prevent Danzo's people from taking over, Danzo needs to be suppressed here.

He swallowed another soldier's ration pill.

"Ora ora ora ora..."

Time passes gradually.

"Lin Yi, it will be too late if we don't leave now."

"Teacher, you can't leave, even if you can't break it."

Lin Yi gently shook his head.

Chapter 22 A Counterattack! The Ultimate Game of Strategies!

"You can't leave, teacher."

Despite Bai Ya's urging, Lin Yi firmly shook his head.

After swallowing another soldier's ration pill to ensure his condition, Lin Yi slowly spoke to Shuo Mao, who looked puzzled.

"Now that he's gone, Danzo has won this round. It will be absolutely impossible for you to compete for the Hokage position later, Sensei."

Danzo's scheme to target his teacher was not a one-day affair; it involved meticulous planning, including the mission, an internal mole, and the manipulation of public opinion.

Even now, outsiders still consider White Fang a ninja who breaks the rules.

So, while Lin Yi appeared to have cracked the code, he had only actually uncovered the chessboard.

Lin Yi's schemes and gambling tactics were all aimed at finding out who the real player was.

Forget all your schemes and plots, kick aside these scattered pieces and point straight at the player.

However, there are also drawbacks; as the one who overturns the chessboard, one must have sufficient strength.

If Danzo can be defeated, then the final outcome will be as Lin Yi predicted.

Danzo was killed by ninjas from an enemy village, but Konoha's White Fang once again turned the tide and brought the murderers who killed Elder Danzo and his comrades to justice.

The Hokage could only reluctantly accept it.

After all, you admitted before that there were ninjas from other villages.

If we then appeal to their reason and emotions, explaining that Hatake Sakumo is a ninja with a warm heart, public opinion can be immediately reversed without the interference of Danzo, the mastermind behind the scheme.

But... Lin Yi raised his head and looked at the four ninjas inside who were already kneeling and spitting blood, still desperately trying to hold on.

He hadn't anticipated that Danzo would have such a backup plan.

Lin Yi had no complaints about this.

After all, reality isn't like that, and this isn't the kind of action-packed anime you see on TV.

Not being the villain guarantees defeat.

He himself is also gambling; which old cunning bastard who has lived to this age doesn't have a trump card?

He just won the bet last time, but lost this time.

"Stop it all!"

A deep voice broke the silence.

Lin Yi and Bai Ya turned their heads to look at the same time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was wearing a divine robe and a straw hat.

Although he was still smoking a pipe, Lin Yi could already see the black outfit and armor under the other person's white robe.

Two Hokage advisors and several Anbu followed closely behind. Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand, and the Anbu brought Danzo out the instant the barrier dissipated, beginning to treat him.

"What's going on, Danzo?"

Lin Yi narrowed his eyes, not asking what they were doing first, but asking Danzo first.
