Naruto: Random Flying Thunder God Technique? Intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

In his perception, the Third Hokage's aura was even stronger than that of the Third Kazekage.

The title of "Strongest Hokage" is clearly misleading when compared vertically with the First and Second Hokage.

However, if we compare it to the current ninja world, it's not entirely unfounded!

Moreover, the Sarutobi clan is particularly skilled in fire-style ninjutsu, and the Third Hokage honed fire-style techniques to perfection!

Behind the Third Hokage, Koharu and Danzo Shimura exchanged a glance before heading out of the cave.

Seeing this, Shiranui Sho's eyes flashed, and she activated Shunpo.

In the blink of an eye, he moved dozens of meters and arrived behind Shimura Dan's hiding place.

"You old dog! Prepare to die!!"

Chapter 186 Standoff! The Indecisive Third Generation!

The approaching chilling light from behind made Danzo Shimura's eyes widen in horror.

But he was a seasoned ninja, and he reacted quickly to the life-threatening situation, forming hand seals as he turned around.

"Wind Release·Vacuum Jade!!"

A massive high-pressure vortex shot out from the sky, heading straight for Shiranui Sora, who was slashing down with her sword.

Danzo was quite experienced.

This move wasn't intended to inflict significant damage on Shiranui Sho, but rather to widen the distance between the two once again.

All he needs to do is escape from here. As for Shiranui Sho... the Third Hokage will deal with him!

As Danzo fled rapidly into the distance, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

Shiranui Sho took the initiative to attack him, and even attacked Sarutobi Hiruzen, which saved him a lot of trouble.

Unfortunately, it seems that the previous plans and the fabricated charges will be useless.

My wisdom is far too much in this ignorant ninja world!

Hiruzen should have given the Hokage position to him, so that his wisdom and abilities could be put to good use!

"Idiot!"

Shiranui Sou sneered.

Danzo's Wind Release technique was indeed quite good, but to think you could escape from him based solely on that would be a bit arrogant.

However, this was also because Danzo's strength was limited, so he could not judge the situation clearly.

After all, according to his observation, Shimura Danzo at this time was only at the level of a quasi-kage.

Only after receiving Hashirama cells and Sharingan will his strength reach the Kage level.

However, with Shiranui Sho here now, he has no chance of having these opportunities!

He stretched out his palm, channeled his spiritual energy, and a dazzling red light bloomed in his palm.

"Hado #31: Red Fire Cannon!!"

The next second, a crimson fireball formed in his palm and shot towards Danzo's back.

Danzo turned around in shock, his eyes clearly reflecting the approaching, blinding ball of fire.

This fireball was even smaller than a regular fire jutsu, but the power it contained was no less than that of the Fire Dragon Flame Bullet that the Third Hokage had just released.

"Shiranui Shou, stop!!"

Just as Danzo was about to be hit by the Red Fire Cannon, the Third Hokage arrived.

He brandished the Vajra Staff, transformed from the summoning beast Monkey King Enma, and instead of aiming at Shiranui Sho, he slapped Danzo away.

The red-hot cannon missed its target, striking a distant rock face and exploding violently, causing the cave to shake violently and sending debris falling.

“Rizhan, you…”

Danzo was sent flying by a blow, rolling around on the ground several times before regaining his footing. The excruciating pain in his ribs made his face turn ashen.

But in any case, the Third Hokage's blow saved his life, so he couldn't afford to retaliate.

"Humph!"

The Third Hokage snorted coldly, without turning his head to look at Shimura Danzo.

Although that blow was intended to save Danzo, it was also partly an act of venting anger.

Danzo's reckless actions caused the situation to spiral out of his control. Half of the Third Hokage's anger was directed at Shiranui Sho, while the other half was directed at Shimura Danzo.

"Shiranui Shou, you are Jiraiya's student and have made many contributions to Konoha. Don't ruin your future with a moment of impulsiveness!"

The Third Hokage said in a deep voice.

"Someone wants me dead, what are you talking to me about the future?"

Shiranui Xiao had a cold smile on her lips.

His influence now spans two realms, and his strength has been proven by the deaths of two Kage.

Do we have to swallow our pride and try to make a living in Konoha?

Shiranui Sho drew her sword again, the moon-white blade aimed directly at the Third Hokage, her tone chilling:

"Hokage, I'll give you one last piece of advice: you can't protect Danzo!"

"Also, you'd better be careful to avoid my blade, otherwise, you, my fellow summoned beast, will perish here!"

The last sentence was his well-intentioned advice.

The Third Hokage used a summoning beast to transform into the Vajra Staff, which has the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

But once slashed by his Zanpakuto, they can only return to the Pure Land on the spot.

"you!?"

The Third Hokage's expression was unpredictable, shifting between light and dark.

He was well aware of the power of that moon-white blade; the scene of that kunai disappearing mysteriously was still deeply etched in his mind.

Moreover, after several rounds of fighting, he realized that his previous assessment of Shiranui Sho's strength had been seriously flawed.

The dark bloodline limit had already been revealed before.

But that strange sword, and the unsealed fire release technique just now... were being shown for the first time!

According to the Third Hokage's assessment, Shiranui Sho's strength has at least reached the level of a Quasi-Kage!

He didn't think he would lose if he continued fighting, but he also risked losses once he started.

At this moment, the Third Hokage's weakness of indecisiveness was exposed once again.

He neither wanted Shimura Danzo to be killed by Shiranui Sho, nor did he want to completely oppose Shiranui Sho.

He couldn't make a decision right now, whether to abandon Danzo or completely declare hostility towards Shiranui Sho.

"Hand over Shimura Danzo to me, and this matter will be over."

"Shiranui Sou said coldly."

"Rizhan, you can't listen to him!!"

When Shimura Danzo saw that Sarutobi Hiruzen remained silent, a look of panic flashed in his eyes.

His gaze fell upon Captain Sarutobi, who was being suppressed by a hidden force not far away. An idea struck him, and he shouted:

"Hinzan, your son was involved in this too! Shiranui Sho killed me today, but he won't let your son off the hook tomorrow either!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shiranui Sou's eyes narrowed slightly.

Upon hearing this, Captain Sarutobi, disregarding the black smoke binding him, looked at Danzo with a livid expression beneath his mask:

"Uncle Danzo, you!?"

"Idiot!"

The Third Hokage glared fiercely at his eldest son.

At this point, he also guessed that Shimura Danzo must have made some promise that led to his son being used by him.

But there's no point in saying more now.

When Shimura Danzo points this out, Shiranui Sho will harbor hatred towards his son, and he will also continue to be suspicious of Shiranui Sho.

There is absolutely no way for the two sides to reach a peaceful resolution.

Since that's the case, we might as well settle things here and now!

"Hokage-sama, Grandma Mito just passed away, how dare you do such a thing!?"

At this moment, Kushina Uzumaki, having figured things out, blushed and quickly walked to Akira Shiranui's side.

What did she hear?

This guy, with bandages wrapped around his face, who had just tried to deprive her of her freedom, had secretly colluded with Wu Yin, intending to...

Surprisingly, the son of the Third Hokage also participated in it.

The Third Hokage's intention to protect the Third Hokage was even more obvious!

The Third Hokage frowned and said insincerely:

"Kushina, don't believe Shiranui Sho's one-sided story!"

"This matter has not been verified in any way, so it cannot be confirmed that Danzo did it."

"On the contrary, it was Shiranui Sou who directly assassinated a high-ranking official of Konoha; that is the real serious crime!"

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Immediately afterwards, a group of ninjas dressed in ANBU uniforms rushed to Shimura Dan's hiding place and protected him firmly in the middle.

The root members deployed outside the temporary base arrived and faithfully protected their master.

With his own armed forces present, Danzo felt even more confident and straightened his back a bit more.

Danzo Shimura, his expression sinister, said to the Third Hokage:

"I've said it before, Uzumaki Ona is more suitable to be the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

"By making Kushina Uzumaki the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki, she was clearly handing over the Nine-Tails' power to the rogue ninja, Sho Shiranui!"

His words clearly labeled Shiranui Sho as a traitorous ninja.

In his view, as high-ranking members of Konoha, he and Hiruzen were naturally opposed to Konoha and were therefore considered traitors to Konoha!

Chapter 187 One Bone! A Blast That Sends the Third Hokage Shooting Away!

Upon hearing Danzo Shimura's words, the Third Hokage's eyes also showed a moment of deep thought.

Indeed...

If we deal with Shiranui Sou here, Uzumaki Kushina will inevitably develop resentment towards Konoha.

A Nine-Tails Jinchuriki who is at odds with Konoha is a ticking time bomb!

Would it be more appropriate to replace the Jinchuriki with Uzumaki Ona?

Anyway, after this tailed beast sealing, they are already very familiar with the process of extracting and sealing the Nine-Tails.

As for Kushina Uzumaki's life...

Although it was somewhat regrettable, since she had chosen to stand with the rogue ninja, she could only be treated as a rogue ninja.

Traitors and treacherous people deserve to die.

Shiranui Sho, unaware of the Third Hokage's inner thoughts, would likely have shown no mercy.

When he saw that the Third Hokage did not reply, his last bit of patience completely wore off.

"It seems that the Hokage has made the wrong decision."

Shiranui Sho said calmly, "To shield someone like that is unacceptable. You are no longer worthy of being Hokage!"

The Third Hokage coldly replied, "Whether I am qualified as Hokage is not for you to judge!"

He slammed the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel heavily onto the ground, and his divine robe was unfastened, revealing a black, tight-fitting combat suit underneath.
