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

"That makes sense."

The monkey flies and the sun slashes, nodding its head lightly.

The reason he's being hesitant to act now is because he knows it's not good to mess with Shiranui Sho while he's still a member of Konoha.

He could, of course, forcibly issue an order designating Shiranui Sho as a rogue ninja, and then order Jiraiya, Tsunade, and others to surround and kill her.

However, this would make the procedure unreasonable, and some people would question whether Sarutobi Hitachi was using his position to settle personal scores.

At the same time, Jiraiya, Tsunade, and others will also develop dissatisfaction with him.

However, if public opinion is outraged, he "would have no choice" but to hand over Shiranui Sho to Kirigakure with public support, and Shiranui Sho would resist and willingly become a rogue ninja...

The result was completely different.

As long as he gives the order, powerful ninjas like Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Sakumo Hatake will all participate in the siege of this rogue ninja.

Moreover, they couldn't find a single fault with this order!

After all, as the Hokage, he was acting for the safety of Konoha and for the peace of the ninja world!

"Danzo, your cloak..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi noticed that Danzo Shimura was dressed differently today and casually mentioned it.

"Oh."

Danzo Shimura's eyes flickered slightly, and his face darkened. "A severed arm is unsightly, so it's covered with a cloak."

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't think much of it and simply nodded.

He hadn't taken Danzo's severed arm to heart.

What he needed was not Danzo as a fighting force at the level of a near-Kage, but as "Root" carrying darkness.

Now that he has lost an arm, his strength has greatly decreased, so he can focus more on assisting him and not think too much about the position of Hokage.

……

Leaf, root base.

Shiranui Sho walked forward with a calm expression and light steps.

The dark and deep tunnel seemed to be filled with a chilling atmosphere.

"I've used Observation Haki to scan this place countless times before, but this is the first time I've come here in person."

Shiranui Sou smiled and said to Yakushi Nonou.

After some simple medical ninjutsu treatment, coupled with the effects of a physical energy supplement, Nono's complexion gradually regained its rosy hue.

Although his injuries have not fully healed, he has at least regained some mobility and no longer needs Aisha to help him.

Thinking that the next scene might be a little bloody, Shiranui Xiao asked Aisha to help elsewhere, and walked slowly side by side with Nonou.

"Observation Haki is..."

When Nono heard the unfamiliar words, she was about to ask them when her expression suddenly changed.

A cold glint suddenly appeared before her eyes.

At that moment, Shiranui Sou turned her head to talk to her, causing the cold glint to appear in her blind spot.

However, before he could even remind her, Shiranui Sho made her move.

As if he had eyes in his mind, he casually raised his right hand and precisely caught a kunai that was flying towards him.

Despite being made of flesh and blood, the right hand produced a sharp, grinding sound as it rubbed against the kunai.

It was as if those long, slender fingers were cast from steel!

"This is Observation Haki; it allows one to 'see' even without using their eyes."

Shiranui Sho calmly explained, "If you want to learn, I'll teach you after this matter is over."

The next second, he flicked his wrist, and the kunai he had intercepted in mid-air shot off in the opposite direction.

With a muffled groan, a jet of blood shot out from the shadows.

“…Okay, Brother Xiao.”

Nonou paused, then lowered her eyes, looking up at the scene.

In a daze, she seemed to become the little girl in the orphanage again, hiding behind Shiranui Xiao, watching with admiration as he chased away the older children who were bullying her.

The two continued to delve deeper into the subject.

The narrow passageway of the Root base is guarded by Root ninjas, and there are also pre-set traps from time to time.

At first, Nono seriously offered some advice, but later realized it was completely unnecessary.

In Shiranui Sou's perception, those hidden and cunning traps seemed to be exposed to the sunlight, leaving them nowhere to hide.

Chapter 203 Danzo's End

The dark passageway meandered deep underground, fortified with multiple layers of defenses.

"Every corridor and every corner here is a trap," said Pharmacist Nonou softly.

"In addition, there is a passage leading to the Root ninja's rest room, which is convenient for providing support at any time."

Shiranui Sho's lips twitched: "This old dog, he's quite conscious of his life!"

But that's normal.

Since his strength is inferior to that of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, he naturally needs to work on other aspects.

When it comes to controlling subordinates, Hiruzen Sarutobi might not even come close to Danzo Shimura.

Although the two were chatting, their pace was not slow at all.

Shiranui Sou walked with ease and quickly approached the end of the passage.

Beneath his feet, a hidden, powerful force spread, devouring and pulverizing the explosive tags embedded in the cracks of the stone wall and the paralyzing poisonous smoke permeating the air!

The commotion here gradually attracted the attention of more Root ninjas.

Just as Yakushi Nonou said, there are many secret passages connected inside the passage.

Sensing that Shiranui Sou's arrival was hostile, many Root ninjas quickly emerged from the secret passage, targeting Shiranui Sou with deadly attacks.

"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!!"

"Lightning Release: Earth Walk!!"

A constant stream of ninjutsu sealed off all of Shiranui Sho's evasive angles.

Faced with the deadly attacks from all sides, Bu Zhi Huo Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and he did not even pause for a moment.

"Nonou".

He gave a soft call as a reminder, then put his arm around Yakushi Nonou's shoulder and pulled her into his arms.

"Huh?"

Nono's face showed surprise and embarrassment, but when she sensed the approaching danger, her expression became serious.

"Brother Xiao, my injuries are under control, and I can fight again!"

"Nono said firmly."

"A battle is one where you give and take."

Shiranui Sho smiled calmly.

The next second, his eyes turned slightly cold, and he activated the full power of the Dark Fruit, causing deep darkness to spread from the soles of his feet.

"Return to the Ruins!!"

The next moment, the tables turned.

The boundless darkness instantly enveloped the narrow passage, and I felt my body being pulled down heavily, pressed tightly against the ground.

Then, the deep darkness, like the mouth of an abyss, swallowed up the Root ninjas along with the ninjutsu they released!

The next second, the darkness dissipated, and the Root ninjas lay sprawled on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, more than ten elite members of the Root Dark Forces perished!

Nono lowered her eyes slightly, feeling no pity whatsoever.

Among the Root ninjas, there were others like her who were in darkness but yearned for the light, only to be forced to serve Danzo out of necessity.

Those who were placed by Danzo in guard posts at the Root base were all lost souls who had completely fallen into darkness.

Some of them have even completely lost themselves and are killing machines thoroughly brainwashed by Danzo.

For these people, death is a kind of liberation.

However, even after witnessing Shiranui Sho defeat the Third Mizukage on the spot, Nono was still shocked by Shiranui Sho's strength.

An entire elite force of Roots stationed inside the base fell in the blink of an eye on Shiranui Sou's path.

Dead silence, utterly silenced.

……

At the base of the roots, at the end of the passage, in the office.

Danzo sat in the chair, his face grim as he looked at the cold-looking man in front of him.

"Orochimaru, is there still no result on the task I entrusted to you?"

Orochimaru was somewhat bewildered when Danzo suddenly summoned him to the Root base, and upon hearing this, he frowned.

Making a suitable arm for Danzo to reattach is not an easy task.

Let's not even talk about how he's been slacking off lately...

Even if he were to fully dedicate himself to this matter, it wouldn't yield results in the short term.

If it were that simple, Konoha wouldn't have so many ninjas forced to retire because of broken arms and legs!

“This is a very difficult task and cannot be completed in a short time,” Orochimaru said in a deep voice.

"what!?"

Danzo was stunned for a few seconds, then flew into a rage.

"Orochimaru, last time you said it would only take seven days! Were you just playing me for a fool!?"

"Seven days?"

Orochimaru frowned. "When did I...?"

Just as Danzo was furious and Orochimaru was confused, a strange noise suddenly came from outside the door, causing their expressions to change.

"The mechanism has been triggered; someone has broken in?"

Danzo narrowed his eyes, his expression shifting between light and shadow.

He suddenly stood up, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, especially when he caught sight of his severed arm, which brought back memories of the fear and despair of that day.

However, Danzo quickly calmed down again.

"No, no, it can't be Shiranui Akane!"

"He had no idea that Hizan had allowed me to get out of prison ahead of schedule, and he probably still thought I was in Konoha prison."

"Moreover, he simply couldn't possibly know the exact location of the Root base!"

Soon, he convinced himself with his strong mental fortitude, and his panic subsided.

If Danzo hadn't possessed exceptional mental fortitude, he wouldn't have been able to commit so many audacious and reckless acts that crossed the line.

After a while, there was still no more sound coming from outside; it was completely silent.

At this moment, Danzo finally smiled, and the weight that had been hanging over his heart lifted.

However, the next second...

A deafening roar suddenly shattered the silence!

Then came a cold, youthful voice.
