Evil Uchiha brat, I'll marry you myself.

The leader of the root unit had already drawn the long sword from his back, his tone filled with endless chill.

Most of these people were sent to the Root organization from a young age, and their minds have been brainwashed to the point that they consider Danzo to be the most important person.

In their minds, Danzo's orders were even higher than those of the Hokage.

Upon hearing Gumu's disrespectful words towards Danzo, they immediately surrounded him, as if facing a formidable enemy.

The captain stood at the very front, the long sword behind him gleaming coldly, as if he might attack the ancient tree at any moment.

Their eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility, as if they would not hesitate to attack if the ancient tree made any unusual move.

"You can go down first, this is someone I know."

When Danzo saw that the ancient tree resembled the Second Hokage, his eyes widened in surprise.

Unexpectedly, the last person Orochimaru summoned was actually his childhood nightmare, Senju Koki, who was known as a genius terminator.

This guy, when he was young, could sit on his head and poop all he wanted.

If he could, he really wanted to brutally beat Koki once, but the current Danzo had already lost the fighting spirit he had as a child.

indeed so!

Life is often full of drama and helplessness. We always yearn for and expect things we've never had, but once we actually get them, we find that they're not as wonderful as we imagined.

"Our leader, this guy is a reanimated corpse! We're really worried about leaving you here!"

The Root ninja who had brought the message earlier now showed undisguised fear and unease on his face.

He knew that the creature summoned by the Impure World Reincarnation possessed powerful and mysterious abilities, posing a significant threat to them.

"Yes, Boss, and this guy seems to have broken free from the control of the Impure World Reincarnation. He's like a ticking time bomb that could explode at any moment," another Root ninja chimed in, his tone filled with tension and worry.

However, despite everyone's advice, Danzo's face remained frighteningly gloomy.

"I'll say it again, get out of here immediately! That's an order!" Danzo's voice was icy cold, as if it could freeze a person's soul.

The ninjas were shocked; they had never seen Danzo so enraged.

Seeing that the Root ninjas around him prioritized their own safety, Danzo couldn't help but feel a sense of smugness.

For many years, he has been dedicated to training these ninjas to become the most loyal and ruthless warriors.

It now seems that they have been deeply imprinted with the mark of obedience to orders, and will not disobey his will no matter what danger they face.

However, Danzo did not show the slightest relief or satisfaction.

On the contrary, he maintained that serious expression on his face, which made him appear even more dignified and unapproachable.

"I told you to leave this place. Don't you understand what I'm saying?" Danzo's voice was deep and stern, revealing an irresistible authority.

Upon hearing this, the Root ninjas around them trembled involuntarily.

They knew Danzo's temper all too well; if they angered him, the consequences would be unimaginable.

So they retreated without hesitation and quickly left the place, not daring to delay for the slightest.

He saw that the ninjas who had surrounded him had all left.

A hint of amusement crossed Gu Mu's face: "It seems that your former adopted son has become a powerful figure in Konoha."

“Gu Mu, you are acting according to your own will right now, aren’t you?”

Instead of moving closer to the ancient tree, Shimura Danzo sat in the highest position in the main hall, his expression unusually cold.

He needed to determine whether Orochimaru was still controlling the ancient tree.

"Do you think you'd still be standing if I wanted to kill you?"

Gu Mu's eyes remained silent. He naturally knew Danzo's personality; he was the type who would only respond to force.

"Oh? Gu Mu, you're still the same as before, arrogant and conceited. You've already died once, don't you learn your lesson?"

Danzo Shimura, who possessed numerous Sharingan eyes, was not afraid of Koki, believing that his current strength was not necessarily weaker than Koki's.

Moreover, he also possesses Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, an eye capable of unleashing Kotoamatsukami, known as the strongest genjutsu.

Even if Gu Mu had any rebellious thoughts, he could control him in a minute.

"Heh, Danzo, I'm saying the same thing to you," Koki said with a cold laugh.

“When you were young, I could beat you like a son, and I still can now.” Gu Mu’s voice rang out again, this time with a powerful aura of evil spirit emanating from him, as if to tear the entire space apart.

Just then, Gu Mu's body suddenly disappeared, as if he had teleported.

When he reappeared, he was already standing in front of Danzo.

Danzo was startled, a sense of shock welling up inside him.

He stared wide-eyed at the ancient tree before him, unable to believe his eyes.

Under the Sharingan's perception, there was no fluctuation of chakra in the ancient tree, but in just a moment of distraction, the ancient tree stood in front of him like a demon.

Chapter 84 Danzo is firmly under his control; your grandpa is still your grandpa after all.

"What...what exactly happened?"

Danzo's eyes widened, and large beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

Just now, in the blink of an eye, the ancient tree appeared before him like a ghost.

At this moment, the ancient tree exuded a powerful and suffocating aura, which made people feel fear.

Danzo secretly rejoiced. If Koki really wanted to take his life, he probably wouldn't have been able to fight back and would have been forced to reveal his last trump card.

Thinking of this, he became very wary.

"Chief! Watch out!!"

The Root ninjas, who seemed to have left, suddenly turned back and quickly gathered below, watching the ancient tree warily.

They clearly also sensed the terrifying pressure emanating from the ancient tree and were worried that Danzo might be in danger.

However, facing everyone's worry and tension, Gu Mu smiled slightly and said easily, "There's no need to panic. If I really wanted to kill Danzo, how could he have survived until now?"

As he spoke, a demonic sword gleaming with an eerie light appeared in Gu Mu's hand.

With a slight lift of his hand, Muramasa was firmly positioned against Danzo's neck, the sharp blade gleaming coldly, as if it could slit Danzo's throat at any moment.

At the same time, a strange, purplish-black aura emanated from the demon sword, wrapping tightly around Danzo's body like flexible tentacles.

These tentacles not only restricted Danzo's movements, but also made him feel a chilling coldness rising from the bottom of his heart.

"Kumuki, are you planning to betray Konoha?"

Danzo's eyes didn't show much fear. He had the Sharingan, and even if he died, he could come back to life by using Izanagi to change reality.

"Danzo, you're doing quite well. You've even managed to replace Konoha."

Upon hearing Koki's praise of Danzo, Danzo couldn't help but feel a touch of arrogance.

In his eyes, Gu Mu was now nothing more than a mere little devil.

Could a mere brat possibly restrain a seasoned and experienced man like him?

"Hmph, Koki, it seems you really intend to betray Konoha. Speaking of which, you don't know anything about Uchiha Shizuru, do you?"

“If you’re willing to sit down and have a proper talk, I don’t mind telling you what happened to Uchiha Shizumi after your death.”

Danzo began earnestly to plan how to fool Gumu.

If Guki's soul had truly returned to the Pure Land and wasn't staying by Uchiha Shizuru's side, he might have let Danzo say a few more words.

Unfortunately, the ancient tree whose soul was sealed within the demon sword's space knew everything about Uchiha Shizuru's ordeal.

This includes the morbid things she did to her own corpse.

"Danzo, I'm here to find you, not to waste time with small talk. In short, I want Hashirama's cells."

"Hashirama cells?"

Danzo uttered a questioning sound, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He didn't answer immediately, but instead pondered what the dead person would need such a thing for.

"why?"

As soon as Danzo finished speaking, he felt the demon sword on his neck getting closer.

A slight pain made Danzo realize that blood was slowly flowing from the wound.

"My Lord!!"

Upon seeing Danzo injured, the Root ninja below charged forward without hesitation.

"These idiots!"

Danzo cursed under his breath. If he hadn't been able to save his own life, he might have actually been killed by this bunch of scoundrels.

At this moment, stimulating the ancient tree will only make him swing his knife faster.

"Shhh!!"

However, at that moment, Gu Mu did not make a move. He simply turned his head slightly and, with just a glance, froze all the Root ninjas who had come to ambush him in place.

The terrifying purple spiritual pressure spread outwards like a powerful torrent, overwhelming all around. The Root ninjas were unable to withstand the pressure and knelt on the ground.
