The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Of course, but if you're no match for Danzo, then I'll have to get involved!" Jiraiya stared intently at Sasuke.

This is fantastic! I never thought I'd have a chance to take down that old bastard Danzo!

"Hmph! I will definitely win!" Putting aside the fact that this was a top-secret mission given to him by Bai Yue, Sasuke would never let Danzo go, just because Danzo was the main instigator of the Uchiha clan's extermination.

"Let's go! Let's go!" A spirited Jiraiya immediately called out to Sasuke, then looked at Toneri and invited, "Hey kid, wanna come along?"

"Of course I'm going! Otherwise, why would I come along?" Sheren said matter-of-factly.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go!" Jiraiya impatiently became the strange guide, urging the two onward.

Behind the three, two other people were openly following them.

"Hakugetsu-kun, is this the show you were going to show me?" Orochimaru's snake-like eyes gleamed with interest as he looked at the three guys who seemed to be up to no good.

Jiraiya goes without saying, he was his old partner and best friend. Sasuke also needs no introduction, he was the reincarnation target he most wanted to achieve.

However, although he is still somewhat interested, he has lost much of his interest in Sasuke ever since Baiyue promised him a pair of matching Sharingan.

What truly interested him was Sheren. Despite feeling that Sheren was riddled with weaknesses, he had a dangerous feeling that if he made a move, Sheren would surely be the one to die.

This strange feeling made Orochimaru very interested in Toneri.

"That child is a bit special; he gives me a strange feeling." Orochimaru pointed at Toneri and licked his lips with covetous intent.

"Stop messing around. Hermit's strength is still quite good. If you face him now, you'll only die. Of course, you might be able to escape using various survival techniques." Bai Yue gave Orochimaru a disdainful look.

Although Toneri has many flaws, such as a weak fighting spirit, he is incredibly strong and can throw bricks. His strength is undoubtedly the strongest in the ninja world right now, apart from him! This is beyond doubt.

After all, there are very few ninjas in the ninja world who can survive a wide-range attack like the Silver Wheel Rebirth Explosion!

"Is that so..." Orochimaru's pupils contracted, and then he looked at Toneri with even more greed.

"Don't even think about it now. If there's a chance in the future, I wouldn't mind giving you a pair of even more powerful eyes," Bai Yue said calmly. "However, it seems you've gone a bit astray."

"What do you mean?" Orochimaru was taken aback at first, but then immediately regained his composure and asked lightly.

"Wasn't your dream to acquire all the ninjutsu in the world, to pursue the truth? Why have you strayed a bit and started seeking greater power?"

"Great power and the truth of the world are not in conflict, are they, Mr. White Moon?"

"Fine, whatever makes you happy." Bai Yue shrugged indifferently. Then, seeing that Sasuke and the other two had already reached the entrance of Root, she immediately said with great interest, "They've finally made it. I wonder if Danzo can handle this trio."

"Danzo is doomed, isn't he?!" Orochimaru also looked on with amusement. As for Danzo, not to mention that he was now working with Hakugetsu, even before, he would have been happy to see Danzo suffer.

"Who knows? Danzo might have hidden a Mangekyou Sharingan from Uchiha Shisui. If he were to use the power of that Mangekyou Sharingan, it might cause them some trouble."

"Mangekyou?!" Ever since Orochimaru was instantly killed by Itachi's genjutsu, he knows more about the Sharingan than the Uchiha clan in some respects.

"Hmm, Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan is pretty good in some ways, but in terms of expressiveness, it's rather average," Bai Yue said dismissively.

Kotoamatsukami, touted as the strongest genjutsu, is honestly not that great. Aside from "turning" Edo Itachi, Kotoamatsukami has almost no other significant impact.

It's ridiculous that a mere non-original Byakugan could detect traces of Kotoamatsukami's use.

As for the three who have now invaded Root, whether it's Sasuke, who also has the Mangekyou Sharingan, or Toneri, who is of a higher level, or Jiraiya, who is a seasoned veteran, Kotoamatsukami probably has no way to deal with them.

"However, it's quite good as a collectible!"

"Who goes there?!" Several Root ninjas shouted, immediately grabbing kunai and charging towards Sasuke and the others.

"Those who block the way deserve to die!" Sasuke's face curved into a cold smile, his eyes devoid of any emotion, filled only with hatred for Danzo!

The chirping of a thousand birds echoed around him, and azure lightning illuminated the dim tunnel.

"Ugh..." A member of the Root was instantly killed.

"Earth Release: Earth Wall!" Faced with the sacrifice of his comrade, one of the Root ninjas immediately activated a ninjutsu in an attempt to block Sasuke's offensive.

The other Root members were equally ruthless, throwing kunai mixed with explosive tags at Sasuke.

The crimson three-tomoe Sharingan spun continuously in its socket, capturing all the attacks from the Root ninja.

But before Sasuke could retaliate, Jiraiya interrupted him.

"Leave this to me!" Jiraiya revealed himself, forming hand seals: "Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"

Inside the tunnel, the earth-escape technique was so powerful that it completely devoured several Root ninjas, and even the explosive tags became duds.

"...Trouble!" After saying that, Sasuke immediately rushed into the tunnel.

He needs to find and kill Danzo as quickly as possible.

However, the Root ninjas all grow up in extremely harsh environments.

Fire might be powerless against the infiltration of top-tier combatants like Bai Yue, but she is still an elite ninja after all.

If they still can't detect Sasuke and his group's utterly incompetent intrusion, then they don't deserve to live.

"Enemy attack!" With a sharp explosion, the dark roots immediately began their counterattack.

A barrage of Root support personnel, along with various other attacks, rained down on Sasuke and his companions from every corner.

"Hmph!" Sasuke's face was extremely ugly. He really didn't expect the Root organization's defenses to be so tight.

They couldn't even manage a simple infiltration; they've completely betrayed Teacher Baiyue's trust!

"Chidori: Sharp Spear!" Sasuke, his face grumpy, immediately launched an attack, but the Root ninjas who appeared one after another blocked his advance.

This arduous tug-of-war only made his already unpleasant expression even more displeased!

"Tsk tsk, I really overestimated you, kid!" Jiraiya's figure reappeared, and his mocking gaze deeply stung the unfortunate Sasuke!
