The high-density chakra condensed into a sphere has been completely materialized. Even without a bloodline limit like a dojutsu, Shimura Danzo could judge just how powerful this attack could be.

With a quick glance in Shinichi Hyuga's direction, Danzo saw the chakra ball in Shinichi's hand shooting directly at him. Without hesitation, he leaped up to dodge, and at the same time, he blew out a strong wind to avoid being hit by Shinichi's technique as much as possible.

Driven by the reaction force of the strong wind, Shimura Danzo's body was lifted high into the air and instantly left the ground.

"boom!!!"

The chakra ball slammed into the ground where Shimura Danzo had been standing, and the terrifying explosion made everyone present's hearts skip a beat.

The ninjas all turned to look, only to see a crimson cloud of flames rising from the plaza in front of the Hyuga clan's territory.

A powerful shockwave, accompanied by a sweltering heat, spread rapidly. The Hyuga clan members and Anbu fighters, caught in the midst of the battle, could not stand firm in the strong wind and were all thrown to the ground.

Even Shimura Danzo, who had anticipated the danger and taken to the air, was blasted off balance by the sudden shockwave. After tumbling several times in the air, he lost his footing and plummeted to the ground.

"Thump!!!"

Even just the aftershocks caused Danzo considerable pain. As he fell to the ground, he felt as if his body was about to fall apart. The intense pain caused cold sweat to bead on his forehead and cheeks.

"hiss-

—

Unaware of the number of fractures in his body, and without the transplant of Hashirama cells, Shimura Danzo had no defense against such an impact, and the excruciating pain prevented him from getting up for a long time.

Shinichi Hyuga was naturally not going to pass up this opportunity to kick a dog when it was down. Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo had already tried to ride roughshod over the Hyuga clan. If they didn't use strong measures to make the other party feel "pain", the two of them would never easily give up.

If they take this opportunity to kill Danzo, and the deed is done, probably no one will oppose the Hyuga main family for the sake of a dead man.

Even if they did, the Hyuga clan would still have room to maneuver if the opponent made the first move. Moreover, Shinichi's confidence came from the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even without the Hyuga clan's strength as a backing, he could still easily resolve the crisis by relying on the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Space-time ninjutsu has such a powerful effect.

Once again, a ball of chakra condensed in the lion's mouth. Shinichi, with a cold expression and a murderous intent, formed another small Tailed Beast Ball in just a few breaths and aimed it at Danzo, who was lying on the ground and unable to get up for a long time.

"stop!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally realized Shinichi Hyuga's murderous intent. He had previously thought that Shinichi's attacks were a counterattack forced upon him by the immense pressure from Danzo.

However, seeing that Danzo had temporarily lost his fighting ability due to the impact of falling from a great height, and Shinichi was still planning to continue attacking, this was not just a simple counterattack.

Shinichi Hyuga really intended to kill a Konoha advisor here.

Hiruzen, of course, could not allow his old comrade to be killed. While speaking out to stop him, he immediately transformed into a blur and rushed towards Shinichi Hyuga.

However, Shinichi Hyuga completely ignored Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, and the small Tailed Beast Ball in his hand was released rapidly the moment it was completed.

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could even reach Shinichi's side, he saw the chakra ball that had just caused such a commotion attack Danzo again.

Time seemed to stand still at that moment. Hiruzen Sarutobi's face showed a look of horror and grief. He didn't think Danzo in this state would have a chance to survive such an attack.

The Root ninjas, their faces filled with worry, rushed towards Danzo in a panic, seemingly wanting to protect him.

At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha's eyes had turned into crimson Sharingan. After assessing the power of Shinichi's technique and Danzo's mobility, he secretly sentenced Danzo to death, while his eyes also revealed a strong sense of anticipation.

The Uchiha clan's current predicament is inextricably linked to Danzo. He did not choose to break off relations, but that does not mean he has no thoughts about Danzo.

On the contrary, Shinichi Hyuga, who launched the attack, suddenly showed a look of surprise on his originally calm face.

The next instant, the chakra ball shot towards Danzo. Seeing that he was about to be swallowed up by the opponent's attack, countless images flashed through Danzo's mind like a revolving lantern.

"Am I really going to die at the hands of such a brat?"

At the end of the flashback, reality arrived. Danzo looked at Shinichi Hyuga, whose eyes were azure in the distance, and felt that all his efforts and battles over the years had been a joke.

The difference between ordinary ninjas and those with bloodline limits is like a chasm.

He attributed everything about Shinichi Hyuga to the latter's superior bloodline, then closed his eyes and calmly accepted his defeat.

However, at that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Shimura Danzo, a white divine robe coming into everyone's view. Danzo, whose heart was dead, also sensed it, opened his eyes, and saw the bright red words "Fourth Hokage".

"Watergate?"

A murmured sound came from Danzo's mouth. As Minato Namikaze entered the scene, the small Tailed Beast Ball that Shinichi shot out was absorbed by the other dimension just before it reached Danzo.

Minato held the Flying Thunder God Kunai horizontally, and after the complex seals quickly enveloped the small Tailed Beast Ball, he disappeared into the alternate dimension.

a long time.

The explosion, like a rumbling thunderclap, came from the direction of the mountain behind the Hokage Rock. Minato, who had successfully diverted Shinichi's attack, turned his head to glance at Danzo's condition, then shouted at Shinichi and the Hyuga clan members who were still planning to continue their attack on the Anbu, "That's enough!"

"Stop it, everyone!"

The appearance of Minato Namikaze brought this battle to an end. Even though Shinichi felt it was a pity that he could not finish off Danzo there, he also understood that with Minato present, there was nothing he could do.

Upon hearing Minato's words, the Hyuga clan members immediately turned to look in Shinichi Hyuga's direction, awaiting instructions from the main clan.

Seeing that Shinichi waved his hand, the clansmen decided to stop and did not continue to pursue the Anbu and Root ninjas.

As the battle progressed, the chakra flow of every ninja from the Anbu and Root was blocked to varying degrees.

While they were indeed elites, the Hyuga clan had a large number of members attacking them, and they coordinated perfectly. In the battle against them, the Anbu gained absolutely no advantage.

"Lord Danzo, what exactly happened to provoke the Hyuga clan to attack you and the Anbu?"

Minato Namikaze made his stance very clear from the moment he opened his mouth to ask the question. Even if he didn't know the specifics of what had happened, Minato's way of asking the question was already subtly biased towards the Hyuga clan.

No... it's not just a covert act; it's an open covert protection of the Hyuga clan.

After recovering, Danzo struggled to his feet with the help of his subordinates. Upon hearing Minato's question, his face flushed red, and he coughed, unable to speak.

Seeing that Danzo did not answer, Minato's gaze also turned to Shinichi Hyuga and Hizashi Hyuga.

Compared to Danzo, who felt guilty, Hyuga Hizashi seemed much more confident: "Fourth Hokage, these guys are deliberately causing trouble and making things difficult for our Hyuga clan."

"Here's what happened..."

Hyuga Hizashi then told Namikaze Minato everything that had happened in the Hyuga clan recently, from Shinichi's assassination attempt to his search for the killer, to today's killing of the assassin and his attempt to collect the body for investigation being thwarted by the Anbu, and so on.

Minato had previously received a report from Kakashi Hatake about Shinichi's assassination attempt, but this was the first time he had heard about what had happened today.

However, with Fugaku Uchiha as corroborating evidence, Minato completely believed Hizashi Hyuga's words.

Upon learning that the Hyuga clan was fighting with the Anbu over the right to investigate a corpse, and that even Elder Danzo was personally involved, Minato Namikaze sensed something unusual.

The Anbu are showing such disrespect to the Hyuga clan over that corpse?! This was something Minato hadn't anticipated.

Minato glanced silently at Danzo and the Third Hokage, then stated definitively, "This matter ends here. Kurama Unkai's body will be temporarily kept by your Hyuga clan."

"You have a week. If you can't find anything, send the body to the analysis team."

"Even if the investigation uncovers anything, do not act rashly. Report to me first."

"Just like that, it's all over!"

The commotion of the battle had attracted more and more ninjas to gather here, and in order to prevent the situation from escalating further, Minato wanted to disperse everyone as soon as possible.

Although he didn't achieve his goal completely, Shinichi Hyuga had already demonstrated his strength in this brief encounter with Danzo, pushing Danzo to that point, which can be considered as having achieved his objective.

After greeting his clansmen, Shinichi greeted Minato and expressed his gratitude to Fugaku Uchiha before leading his clansmen back to their territory. He also instructed his uncle Hizashi to greet the Yamanaka clan members on his behalf.

Hiruzen Sarutobi seemed to feel he had lost face, and quietly left.

Danzo, escorted by Root ninjas, hurriedly departed.

Upon hearing that the Hyuga clan had actually hired members of the Yamanaka clan to investigate the assassin's mind, Minato, interested in the mastermind behind it all, did not leave. Instead, he entered the Hyuga clan's territory at Hizashi's invitation.

Not long after the crowd dispersed, Yamanaka Inoichi of the Yamanaka clan, the current leader of the Konoha Village Analysis Team, was invited to the Hyuga clan's territory.

As the crowd dispersed, the reputation of the Hyuga clan began to spread like wildfire throughout the village. The story of Shinichi Hyuga, the heir of the main branch, nearly killing the advisor Danzo also reached the ears of the clan leaders and elders. Even ordinary ninjas began to discuss it.

However, the Hyuga clan doesn't care about these things. What they are most concerned about now is who is behind Kurama Unkai's actions.

Although Shinichi already had a guess in his mind, the main purpose of the Yamanaka clan's investigation was to gain the trust of the fourth generation.
