Konoha: Uchiha, I get stronger by causing trouble.

Chapter 255 Danzo Shimura's Sense of Superiority

Chiga jumped down from under the tree and came to the entrance of the root. Shimura Danzo was probably very confident in the seals around him, as there wasn't even a gatekeeper.

"Ninja Art: Sage Mode!"

Chika clapped her hands together, let out a soft shout, and immediately entered Sage Mode.

He crouched down, placed his hands on the ground, and silently sensed the number of Root ninjas in the underground lair through the power of Sage Mode.

"Only five hundred people? It seems Shimura Danzo is getting worse and worse!"

Chika muttered something.

Root was Danzo Shimura's independent organization, and by the time of Chiga, Root already had over a thousand ninjas.

Now, only half of the people remain.

While others who secretly cause trouble usually grow stronger the more they do it, Shimura Danzo did the opposite.

It is estimated that Hiruzen Sarutobi dismissed Danzo Shimura from his position as Hokage's assistant because of the massacre of the Uchiha clan, and ordered Danzo to disband Root.

At that time, many of his people were probably recruited by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Furthermore, with Shimura Danzo moving into the shadows, recruiting people has become more difficult, and he is no longer as unscrupulous as before.

Chiga didn't pay any attention, and looked up in the direction of Konoha Village, thinking to himself that the competition there should have already started!

"Let's finish this quickly, so I can probably go see a play."

Considering he still had a show to attend, Qianhe decided not to dawdle any longer. He formed a hand seal and then slammed his hands onto the ground.

"Sage Art: Earth Release: Rock Collapse!"

As a large amount of Sage Chakra was channeled into the ground, the entire ground began to tremble, and as a result of his action, large flocks of birds took flight in the air.

In the vast underground space, the Root ninjas were each performing their duties. Before they could react, huge rocks suddenly began to fall from the sky.

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

"Impossible! Root's base was built to the highest earthquake-resistant standards; it couldn't possibly have collapsed due to an earthquake. Someone is using Earth Release ninjutsu!"

"That's an enemy attack!"

"How dare they attack Root? Is it a Sand Ninja, Orochimaru, or a Mist Ninja?"

"Now is not the time to determine who the enemy is. Quickly use Earth Release ninjutsu to prevent the above from collapsing again, or we'll all die!"

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

"Earth Release·Earth Style Wall!"

A dozen or so Root ninjas skilled in Earth Release also reacted. They pressed their hands to the ground and raised a vast earthen wall from below to act as a load-bearing pillar, trying to prevent the collapse above.

However, the entire stone slab above had already been pried open by Chiga's Sage Chakra and pressed down.

These load-bearing pillars collapsed the moment they came into contact with the stone slab, unable to stop the stone slab from pressing down even slightly!

"Oh no, it's too late to stop it!"

"Run! It's going to collapse!"

"Lord Danzo! Protect Lord Danzo!"

The dozen or so Earth Release ninjas were powerless to stop them, and the Root ninjas could only run away in panic, hiding in all directions.

Boom boom boom.

As large rocks fell, a deafening roar filled the air.

In an instant, rocks flew everywhere, and dust filled the air.

Once things calmed down, Chiga saw a deep pit with a diameter of over several hundred meters in front of him.

In the deep pit, the Root ninjas who had survived crawled out of the ruins and looked up in Chiga's direction.

When they discovered that there was only one enemy, their faces showed shock.

"Where is it? There's only one person!?"

"Impossible! How could such a powerful Earth Release ninjutsu be unleashed by one person!"

"Our many Earth Release ninjas couldn't even withstand this!"

At this moment, Shimura Danzo also emerged from the ruins. His face was gloomy, and he squinted at Chiga.

"You're the ninja who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan!"

"It even has a Sage Mode!"

"With the aid of Sage Mode, no wonder he can unleash such a powerful Earth Release ninjutsu!"

When Shimura Danzo saw the mask on Chiga's face, he was also surprised.

Then Shimura Danzo looked around and saw that his business, which he had built up over many years, had been completely reduced to ruins. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

As the dark side hidden deep beneath Konoha, Danzo Shimura was always the one secretly attacking others; he never imagined he would one day be attacked by someone else.

This is also why, apart from a few sealing barriers, no one guards his base.

[Negative emotions from Shimura Danzo, Emotion Value +90! First time receiving negative emotions from Shimura Danzo, reward: Sharingan EXP +2000, Sage Body EXP +2000!]

Facing the enraged but silent Shimura Danzo, Chiga instead laughed. He opened his Mangekyou Sharingan, his eyes icy, but his tone was extremely gentle as he said, "Lord Danzo, for the sake of building a beautiful and harmonious new Konoha Village, I beg you, Lord Danzo, to die!"

Despite Chiga's words, Shimura Danzo did not get angry. He knew from Chiga's use of a large-scale ninjutsu to destroy his base that the two were now locked in a life-or-death struggle.

However, even facing Chiga, who possessed Sage Mode, the Mangekyou Sharingan, and the Flying Thunder God Technique, Danzo Shimura dared not be careless.

He rolled up the sleeve of his right arm, revealing the seal on it, and then said to Aburame Ryoma and Yamanaka Fu beside him, "You two take some men and hold this Uchiha remnant back. Give me some time; I need to remove the seal from my right arm!"

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Aburame Ryoma and Yamanaka Fu, along with the Root ninjas under their command, formed a battle formation and charged towards Chiga.

"Secret Technique: Insect Jade!"

With a wave of his hand, countless parasitic insects emerged from his body, forming a dark, dense sea of ​​insects in the air.

After hovering in the air for a while, the swarm of insects pounced on Chiga.

"Tsk, that's all the tricks they have!"

Chiga looked at Aburame Ryoma and said something that puzzled him.

Then, Chiga formed a hand seal and took a deep breath.

"Sage Art: Fire Release - Great Fire Annihilation!"

A deluge of flames erupted from Chiga's mouth, instantly burning the sea of ​​insects in the sky to ashes.

The flames had not yet subsided, spreading in the direction from which the sea of ​​insects had come, engulfing even the caster, Aburame Ryoma.

"what!"

Aburame Ryoma let out a scream before being engulfed in flames and never heard from again.

Although Ryoma Aburame couldn't last a single round against Chiga, he created an opportunity for Fu Yamanaka.

Seeing Chiga standing still and unleashing a fire-style ninjutsu, Yamanaka Fu seized the opportunity and formed hand seals.

"Secret Technique: The Art of Mind Transference!"

As a secret technique of the mountain tribe, the Mind Transfer Technique involves focusing the soul's energy on a single point and unleashing it upon the enemy.

However, this secret technique has a drawback: the spirit can only move in a straight line, and if the spirit misses its target, it cannot return to the body for a short period of time.

It could be said that Ryoma Aburame created this opportunity for Fu Yamanaka with his own death.

However, at the moment Yamanaka Kaze unleashed his secret technique, Chiga also looked up and met Yamanaka Kaze's gaze.

The eerie scarlet eyes, imbued with powerful pupil energy, directly assaulted Yamanaka Fu's brain.

"what!"

Another scream rang out. Shan Zhongfeng clutched his head, his eyes filled with immense fear. His eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, motionless.

Ryoma Aburame and Fu Yamanaka, as Danzo Shimura's right and left hands, only managed to hold off Chiga for a short while before being completely defeated.

However, the Root ninjas were indeed good in this respect; they obeyed Danzo Shimura's orders without question, and even if they knew they were just cannon fodder, they would still charge towards the enemy.

"Sage Art: Fire Release - Great Fire Annihilation!"

Seeing this, Chiga had no reason to let it go, and clapped his hands together to unleash another Fire Release ninjutsu.

Cannon fodder is just cannon fodder; they don't even have time to struggle before they are engulfed in flames.

The Root ninjas were all wiped out, but they had perfectly carried out the orders given by Danzo Shimura.

At this moment, the seal on Shimura Danzo's right arm has been removed.

His pale right arm looked as if it had been soaked in formaldehyde for a long time, and his ten three-tomoe Sharingan eyes, staring wide-eyed, seemed to be telling the tragic story of the Uchiha clan's annihilation.

"The Mangekyou Sharingan... I never expected to encounter a Sharingan of this level after the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. This must be the reward for my years of lurking!"

Danzo Shimura had come to terms with the annihilation of his subordinates. He stared intently at Chiga's Mangekyou Sharingan, a greedy glint in his eyes.

Because Hashirama Senju's cells were so phagocytic, Danzo Shimura used ten three-tomoe Sharingan and one Mangekyou Sharingan to suppress them.

And the Mangekyou Sharingan deserves the majority of the credit for this.

This shows the difference between the Mangekyou Sharingan and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

If he obtained Chiga's Mangekyou Sharingan, Danzo Shimura felt that his body would definitely become more stable.

Perhaps they can still use Wood Release at will.

With this in mind, Danzo Shimura looked at Chiga even more brazenly.

Chiga didn't care about Danzo Shimura's disgusting gaze; there was no need to argue with a dead man.

"Uchiha Chiga, I don't care where you came from, but you've come to the wrong person to cause me trouble!"

"Also, I am very grateful to you for bringing the Mangekyou Sharingan to me!"

As Shimura Danzo spoke, he formed a mudra with his hands.

Mao, Hai, Wei!

It was clearly the mark of Izanagi.

After completing the hand seals, Shimura Danzo took out his katana and looked at Chiga.

Seeing that Chiga had no reaction to the mark he had made, Danzo Shimura smiled.

As expected, they were just a self-taught Uchiha clan member who didn't understand the secrets of the Sharingan at all!

He's no different from Uchiha Sasuke, who just ekes out a living in the village and can't even use his Sharingan properly!

The mystery surrounding Izanagi surpasses even that of the Mangekyou Sharingan; even within the Uchiha clan, very few people know of this technique.

Those who wield the Sharingan can use Izanagi to make things that happen to them within a certain period of time disappear, and only make things that are beneficial to them a reality.

The activation time varies depending on each person's ability, but the Sharingan used after the technique is applied will inevitably result in blindness, making it dangerous.

While in the activation phase, even death can alter reality, making it a terrifying eye technique that can render one invincible.

Thinking about it this way, Shimura Danzo became even more proud of himself for orchestrating the annihilation of the Uchiha clan.

Not only did he gain the power of the Sharingan, but he also made the Sharingan even more mysterious.

Chiga's lips twitched slightly. Who is it that doesn't understand the Sharingan? Doesn't he know that the Mangekyou Sharingan has strong perception? I could have noticed your smug expression even without opening my eyes!

"What a pity, the Mangekyou Sharingan is such a waste on you. Give it to me, let me make the most of it!"

Danzo Shimura had already entered Izanagi, so of course he wouldn't explain things to Chiga.

If you want to popularize science, you'd have to gouge out Chiga's eyes yourself before it's time.

He feigned regret, then picked up his katana and charged towards Chiga.

"Can eleven Sharingan really make someone this arrogant?!"

Chiga muttered helplessly, and Hayate took the opportunity to grasp it in his hand.

He now understood Shimura Danzo's plan.

Trading his life for injury was truly the best option for Shimura Danzo, who had activated Izanagi at that moment.

One of Shimura Danzo's Sharingan eyes could activate Izanagi for one minute, meaning that Shimura Danzo was invincible for eleven minutes.

During this period, any harm suffered by Chiga would be a huge gain for Shimura Danzo.

"Then I'll play with you!"

Chiga chuckled and charged toward Shimura Danzo.

Both men were wielding knives and exuded a murderous aura.

While Chiga and Shimura Danzo were having a good time, at the Chunin Exams venue.

The first match was between Naruto Uzumaki and Neji Hyuga.

The battle between the two has entered its final stage.

Based on his own strength, Naruto Uzumaki has no chance of defeating Neji Hyuga.

Moreover, Naruto Uzumaki did not increase his strength during this month.

He spent most of the past month on sealing techniques, and the rest of the time communicating with the half of the Nine-Tails inside his body.

"The bottom of the pack will always be the bottom of the pack; that's fate, and it can't be changed!"

After Neji Hyuga unleashed a set of Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms, sealing off Naruto Uzumaki's chakra points and forcing Naruto to refine his own chakra, he felt the situation was settled and immediately began to mock him.

"Hmph, today I'll show you how I, Naruto Uzumaki, change my destiny!"

Naruto wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face showing no sign of panic.

He formed hand seals, and in the middle of the cage inside his body that imprisoned half of the nine-tailed fox, a corner of the sealing talisman slowly opened.

Instantly, a torrent of Nine-Tails chakra poured out, instantly enveloping Naruto Uzumaki and solidifying on the outside, forming the shape of the Nine-Tails.

At the same time, Naruto's face was also changing towards that of a demon fox.

"Wow! The fox spirit has appeared?"

"Damn it, he actually went to break the seal himself! Has he gone mad? Who told him to do that?!"

"Oh my god, run!"

Compared to the previous leaks, this amount of Nine-Tails chakra was nothing. Not to mention ordinary Konoha ninjas, even Kakashi Hatake and Hiruzen Sarutobi felt something was wrong.
