Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 206 Kushina's Overbearing Aura!

The existence of Root is a secret to many ninjas, let alone Root's headquarters.

However, Kushina was, after all, the wife of the Hokage and the Jinchuriki of the Nine-Tails, so she was no stranger to the location of the Root headquarters.

Kushina swiftly traversed the deep, dense forest and arrived above the Root headquarters. A surge of red chakra erupted from her body, enveloping her entire form, and five tails instantly sprouted from her.

Five red chakra tails extended into the sky, chakra surging continuously. The five chakra tails merged into a huge, deep red fist in mid-air.

Boom! The fist slammed down, crashing heavily onto the ground. The soil and rocks crumbled like tofu, cracks spreading outwards...

The crimson fist, fueled by a continuous stream of chakra, plunged deeper, shattering rocks and compressing soil, triggering a chain reaction.

With a crash, a huge boulder fell from the dome of the root hall, which was connected by a skywalk. Boom! One of the skywalks could not withstand the weight and broke in two. Boom! It wasn't until the next skywalk that it was caught.

Such a commotion immediately alerted the Root ninjas, and figures appeared on the stone walkways as if in a flash.

"Something's happened outside. First squad, go out and handle it immediately."

"Yes."

The Root headquarters gate opened wide, and three Root ninjas, dressed in gray armor, wearing animal masks, and carrying weapons, immediately went out through the secret passage.

Once outside, the three Root ninjas quickly discovered Kushina causing trouble.

"The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, what are you doing?"

Kushina turned around, her red chakra fist retracting from the crater and transforming back into five tails. She said coldly, "Make Danzo come out and see me right now, or I'll send him to Root."

"How dare you, a mere Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, disrespect Lord Danzo!"

"Capture her!"

The captain gave the order, and the other two followed suit without hesitation.

Clearly, these three were also heavily brainwashed among the Root ninjas.

The three of them worked together, using ninjutsu in perfect harmony. Their ninjutsu complemented each other, with each move linked to the next.

However... it was all for naught. The red tail simply extended and swept away the incoming ninjutsu.

Then another tail burst forth, a red chakra tail that seemed to have a mind of its own and quickly wrapped around the three Root ninjas.

The Root ninjas didn't have time to use ninjutsu and could only dodge as much as possible.

Thump, thump, thump, in just the time it takes to breathe, three red tails burst out of the ground, like venomous snakes lurking in the grass.

The three Root ninjas were distracted by the obvious attack and were caught off guard, getting caught in the tail.

With a thud, Kushina used her three tails to slam all three of them to the ground simultaneously.

Although the three did not die, their internal organs were injured, and they spat out a mouthful of blood, essentially losing their fighting ability.

Despite being enraged by Danzo's actions, Kushina did not lose her mind and therefore did not kill him.

Having dealt with the three, Kushina started working on the same method again, but with the addition of a tail, the progress was even faster.

Soon, another huge stone fell from the dome of the root hall.

The continuous commotion finally alerted Danzo, who appeared on the plank road, leaning on his cane, and asked with displeasure, "What's going on?"

Upon seeing Danzo appear, the Root ninjas immediately knelt down on one knee to pay their respects.

The leading ninja bowed and reported, "There must be someone causing trouble outside. We've already sent out the first squad to deal with it, but it looks like they weren't successful."

"Who's causing trouble at the root?"

"Come out with me and let's take a look."

"Yes."

Soon, Danzo led twelve Root ninjas into the deep, lush forest.

The root unit was officially organized into a 17-person squad, which was over the authorized size, but not by much.

Aside from those on missions outside, the Root headquarters only has this many people.

"Kushina?"

"Why are you causing trouble here?"

"They even injured a Root ninja! What utterly outrageous!"

With a slam, Danzo slammed his cane down, his face grim as he rebuked him.

Kushina retracted her tail, her chakra cloak protecting her, and said coldly, "Don't try to shift the blame first. You know what you've done!"

"And you have no right to reprimand me now. Stop acting like you're superior because of your age. I've always disliked you the most."

Danzo's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this, his face darkening further as he suddenly realized something...

Uchiha Gen, that bastard!

If you're not going to give it to me, fine, but you actually went and complained to Kushina. Are you a child?

"How dare you plot against my remaining clansmen, especially without the Hokage's permission? Who gave you the audacity?"

"You'd better give me an explanation today, or don't blame me for being impolite!"

Danzo has always presented himself as a tough political figure, and he is unlikely to compromise easily, whether in Konoha, the Land of Fire, or in front of foreigners or outsiders.

Moreover, Danzo also had to save face in front of so many subordinates; how could he be easily intimidated?

"Hmph, what do I need to explain to you?"

"Although you are the Fourth Hokage's wife and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, you do not hold any official position, while I am the Hokage's assistant."

"I only wanted to recruit them into Root to strengthen Root so that it could better serve Konoha."

"This is all for Konoha!"

"I did nothing wrong."

"Even if I made a mistake, I should explain myself to Hiruzen. What do I need to explain to you?"

"If you leave immediately, I will let this matter go for the sake of the four generations who have passed away."

"If you remain obstinate, don't blame me for being impolite!"

Danzo snorted coldly, his face dark and his voice filled with unparalleled force.

Clang, clang, clang...

Upon hearing Danzo's words, the twelve Root ninjas immediately drew their weapons.

"Hmph, I'd like to see just how impolite you are!"

Before she finished speaking, Kushina's red chakra rapidly receded inward, and golden chakra enveloped her entire body, transforming into a clean and sleek combat suit with mysterious black patterns encircling her upper and lower body, front and back.

A terrifying aura burst forth, materializing and whipping up the air into a raging gale that blew down the surrounding leaves, sending them hurtling towards Danzo and his group.

"This...this is..."

Danzo raised his sleeve to shield himself from the fierce wind, his eyes half-open, his teeth clenched, and his face filled with extreme shock.

The other Root ninjas were equally shocked. Under immense pressure, they instinctively gripped their weapons tightly, seeking a sense of security.

The pressure from Kushina wasn't over yet. Golden chakra surged and transformed into a golden fox head above Kushina's head. This fox head was about the size of a house.

Yin and Yang chakra gathered around the fox's mouth, quickly condensing into a purplish-black Tailed Beast Ball with a diameter of two meters.

The dense, compressed chakra caused the Root ninjas, skilled in sensory perception, to break out in a cold sweat...

If that Tailed Beast Ball comes crashing down on them, none of them will survive, no matter what they do.

The moment the Tailed Beast Ball appeared, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was relaxing in the Hokage Building with a crystal ball, suddenly turned around and looked towards the back mountain.

The next moment, disregarding the remaining image of the women's bathhouse on the crystal ball, Hiruzen Sarutobi vanished from his spot and rushed towards the back mountain at top speed.

"Kushina, what do you want to do?"

"How is your behavior any different from betraying the village?"

Kushina tilted her head and said, "I haven't even attacked yet, and you're already accusing me of betraying the village?"

Just as Danzo was about to speak, Kushina interrupted him.

"Whether or not you betray the village is not up to you, it is up to the Hokage."

"Even if I kill you all, for the sake of Konoha, would the Hokage really execute me?"

"Stop talking nonsense and just tell me if you're going to give me an explanation or not!"

Actually, there were some things Kushina didn't say.

With her current strength, if she doesn't want to die, who in Konoha can kill her?

She would accept any other punishment, but she would never accept being killed.

She can't die. If she dies, Naruto will still be so young. What will happen then?

Besides, things wouldn't escalate to that point; she didn't believe Danzo would willingly face death over something so trivial...
