Ninja World: I've already fought the Five Kage head-on, and the system is only now showing up.

Chapter 96: Killed people, raided the base, of course I'll get loot!

Danzo Shimura is nearly 70 years old.

With his limited strength, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't restrain himself in the slightest.

As for the Four Symbols Seal in the inner realm.

Although the released black blood was indeed terrifying, the full power was revealed gradually.

During this period, given his swift escape speed, no matter how much the black blood spreads, it cannot keep up with his pace.

Furthermore, Hagoromo Gengetsu had anticipated Shimura Danzo's final, mutually destructive move.

Danzo Shimura was mistaken in thinking he could be careless and complacent.

"it's over."

Looking at everything before her, Yu Yi Xuan Yue calmly announced.

Fortunately, he had already extracted Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan from Shimura Danzo's eyes. It would have been a great pity if he had followed him to the underworld at this moment.

"No! For Konoha! Hagoromo Gengetsu! You must die! You must die!"

Danzo Shimura's face was full of resentment and hatred.

Undeterred, he mustered his last strength and sprinted toward Yu Yixuanyue's location.

No matter how hard he tried, the gap between them not only did not shrink, but actually widened.

Finally, even as his entire body was dragged into the underworld by black blood, Shimura Danzo's single eye remained fixed on Hagoromo Gengetsu until he was completely swallowed up.

After Shimura Danzo, the caster, completely disappeared, the black blood, which had swelled into a sphere, spread rapidly in all directions.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, standing far away on the canopy of a large tree, looked towards the location where the Inner Four Symbols Seal had erupted.

Soon, everything was over.

A huge pit, nearly 100 meters wide, appeared before his eyes.

Everything that was originally on the deep pit, including Danzo Shimura, had been taken to the underworld by the Reverse Four Symbols Seal and swallowed up completely.

"Sealing techniques are indeed unreasonable."

After a brief sigh, having finally resolved the conflict with the Root forces who had been secretly watching him and with whom he had already clashed in Tanabata Street, Hagoromo Gengetsu looked towards Konoha Village, where a large group of Konoha ninjas were heading towards him.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue flashed away, but instead of leaving, she chose to return to the Root Base.

After killing people and raiding their base, of course you should loot their equipment.

While chasing Shimura Danzo in the underground base, I casually glanced around and discovered that there were quite a few good things inside.

After all, it's the main base of the roots.

Money, ninja tools, secret techniques, intelligence, and so on are all acceptable.

What truly caught Yu Yi Xuan Yue's eye were the advanced and diverse array of high-tech equipment—far superior to the research labs she had previously worked in—as well as the precious materials being tested.

He was thinking about whether to make a quick buck at Konoha Hospital before going back, but now he didn't have to think about it anymore.

After searching the warehouse at the root base, Yu Yi Xuan Yue immediately packed up all the high-tech instruments that she coveted and took them with her. Then she also collected some other things that caught her eye.

He lingered briefly in the secret room where the bamboo dragonfly had self-immolated before turning and leaving.

Almost as soon as he left, Konoha's reinforcements arrived.

At first glance, what they saw was an enormous, semi-circular crater above the base.

This reminds me of the Root ninja corpses I found on the road earlier.

Clearly, the roots have suffered an unprecedented attack.

"Things are really not good now."

Pulling up his headband and scanning the deep pit, Kakashi, the commander of this reinforcement team who knew nothing about the Reverse Four Symbols Seal, focused his attention on the completely shattered gate of the Root base.

There was no sound of fighting inside.

The Root ninjas did not come out to greet them.

Kakashi already had the worst possible guess.

He solemnly instructed, "Maintain a B-level combat formation. Once inside the Root base, remain vigilant at all times and do not leave the formation without authorization."

"clear!"

The ninjas present were all elites from Konoha, and they knew exactly what they should do.

Among them, Matt Kai even gave a thumbs up and said, "My youthful passion is surging!"

Knowing perfectly well the circumstances under which his eternal best friend Kakashi would have such a serious expression, Guy was even prepared to open the Eight Gates.

To everyone's surprise, after passing through the gates of the Root Base and heading downwards, they found no danger at all after circling the Root Base, which they had only heard of before.

All that could be seen were the lifeless corpses of Root ninjas.

As for enemy corpses, there wasn't a single one.

Although they usually feared Root and kept their distance from Root ninjas, they were still members of Konoha. Seeing all the Root ninjas in the base die, right under the village's nose, the Konoha ninjas present were very silent.

Afterwards, Kakashi and the others carefully examined the scene and the bodies of all the dead Root ninjas, and came to a solemn conclusion.

The destruction of the root base was the work of one person.

"One person wipes out the entire Root? Who could do that?" Asma, who had also arrived, lit a cigarette and asked to calm his emotions.

That's the root!

They are even more terrifying than the Hidden Leaf Village's Anbu.

Even if the Hokage himself had taken action, the outcome wouldn't have been like this.

Suddenly, a person popped into Kakashi's mind.

But without supporting evidence, he didn't dwell on it further, instead looking around and frowning as he asked:

"Now there's one more crucial question: where is Elder Danzo?"

As an advisor and elder of Konoha, Danzo's status in Konoha was second only to the Hokage, which made it impossible for those present not to care.

Once they found that the Root base was safe, everyone stopped maintaining their battle formation and dispersed to search, but they couldn't find Elder Danzo anywhere.

"Could it be related to that deep pit on the ground?" someone cautiously suggested.

Kakashi's face darkened upon hearing this.

If that's the case, things will be terrible.

News of the complete annihilation of Root and the suspected death of Elder Danzo quickly reached Konoha.

It caused an uproar, and the whole village immediately became tense and on edge.

To the bewilderment of many villagers, a large number of Konoha ninjas moved back and forth on the rooftops.

The alert level for Konoha Village has been raised to the highest level.

With the Fifth Hokage away attending the Five Kage Summit, the two remaining Konoha advisors stepped forward and quickly dealt with the immediate situation.

"I'm going to Root. I need to see for myself whether Danzo is truly dead."

With a solemn expression and a hint of sadness on his face, Mitokado Homura addressed his only remaining old friend.

"I'll leave the village to you for now. Also, inform Tsunade. But don't let her rush back, since she'll be too late anyway. The Five Kage Summit has just started, and if she leaves in such a huff, it will only make the Four Kage look down on Konoha for no reason."

"I understand," Koharu said in a deep voice. "You should also be careful."

"Um."
