Konoha: The Soul King from the Uchiha Clan

Chapter 306 Mysterious Confidence

Logically speaking, people with these two identities should never be mixed up together, yet they are now mixed up together...

Perhaps those two S-rank rogue ninja from Kirigakure didn't actually betray Kirigakure, or perhaps they were just feigning betrayal.

Their real purpose was to infiltrate Konoha to investigate my whereabouts, then set a trap along the way to eliminate me!

Danzo thought about it more and more and it made more sense. After all, as the dark side of Konoha and the dark side of the ninja world, it was not a new thing for people from other ninja villages to have their eyes on it.

Similar things have happened many times before, but the enemy has failed every time.

The enemy's lineup this time was the largest he had ever faced in an assassination attempt, but he was confident that he would be the ultimate victor!

But how did the enemy know his whereabouts?

He was the only one who knew the route before leaving Konoha, and his three subordinates only found out after he left.

The three subordinates showed no unusual behavior along the way...

Could it be that I just didn't notice?

Looks like I need to be more careful.

Danzo did not believe that the three had followed him all the way.

Because there were sensory ninjas among their subordinates, and according to intelligence, these three individuals' stealth and tracking abilities weren't that strong.

Danzo slowly turned around, looked at the three grinning figures approaching, and asked expressionlessly, "How did you know my route?"

The three pufferfish demons had no intention of wasting words with Danzo. Knowing the saying that delay could lead to trouble, they launched an attack immediately.

Fuguki caught Samehada, which Kisame had flung at him, and together with Juzo Biwa, they launched a charge, displaying agility that seemed disproportionate to their bulky and obese bodies.

Kisame Hoshigaki stopped and formed hand seals on the spot, preparing to create a favorable environment.

"I'll make you talk back obediently..." Danzo said expressionlessly.

Having said that, Danzo lowered his eyelids slightly, his hands quickly forming hand seals, and the three guards drew their weapons and charged forward together.

According to the elite ninjas, and with it being a three-on-two situation, they shouldn't be defeated by Fuguki and Biwa Juzo in a single encounter.

After a series of tentative clinking sounds, both sides spontaneously dispersed to the sides.

Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!

Water Release Big Explosion Water Wave!

Kisame Hoshigaki spared no chakra, and with the Second Hokage's mastery of Water Release techniques, the power of this Water Release ninjutsu was not much less than that in the original work.

Water flowed continuously from Kisame Hoshigaki's mouth, quickly forming a massive wave that swept not only toward Danzo and his companions but also toward Kisame's back.

The dense barrage of wind-style chakra bullets landed in the raging waves without making a ripple, and were swallowed up by the water.

Upon seeing such a large-scale ninjutsu, Danzo could no longer maintain his inexplicable confidence. His expression froze slightly, and after regaining his senses, he hurriedly dodged the surging waves.

The three Root ninjas also hurriedly dodged, but even while dodging, they did not forget to protect Danzo, even if it meant being swept away by the current.

Instead of dodging, Fuguki and Pipa Juzo jumped directly into the waves.

The reason he dared to do this was threefold: first, he was an excellent swimmer; second, he was highly skilled in water-style techniques; and third, Kisame Hoshigaki was deliberately controlling him.

Before long, the entire north-south oriented Calabash Valley was almost completely flooded. If it weren't for the barrier, a small flood would have occurred immediately.

Danzo stood on the water's surface, looking at the scene before him with a grim expression, accompanied by two Root ninjas.

At the mouth of the gourd-shaped valley, a Root ninja crawled out of the water, his hands behind his back, his body leaning forward, and quickly ran towards Danzo.

"Ding, twelve meters to the right rear."

"Be careful, the enemy's true form and ten water clones are constantly changing positions, I can't predict them."

The voice of the Root Sensing Ninja rang in the mind of the Root Ninja codenamed Ding. The voice was still cold and indifferent, without a trace of anxiety.

Upon hearing this, the Root ninja codenamed Ding immediately formed hand seals, and the black shadow floating on the water's surface rapidly extended underwater.

During the descent, the shadow shattered into pieces, changing shape and nature, as if transforming into black spears.

The black shadow pierced through the heads of all the water clones it had aimed at, turning the figures into puddles of water, but their numbers were far too few compared to the water clones.

To cover up Juzo Biwa's actions, Suigetsu Hozuki also created water clones.

Not feeling the tactile sensation of a hole piercing the skull, the Root ninja codenamed Ding immediately dodged.

Unfortunately, it was too late to dodge after the counterattack. The remaining water clones and the true form of Pipa Juzo broke through the water and rushed forward.

Each of them was either carrying a guillotine or a sharkskin, and with their superb swordsmanship, Ding managed to knock off two water monsters before being slashed in the back by a guillotine.

"what……"

A huge wound appeared, the flesh turned inside out, deep enough to expose the bone, and blood gushed out like a fountain...

The blood stained not only the face and body of Juzo Biwa, but also the surface of the water. The intense pain was so great that even with the cruel training of the Root ninjas, he couldn't help but scream loudly.

Having suffered a severe blow, Hibiki Juzo pressed his advantage and quickly grabbed Ding by the throat.

With a snap, Pipa Juzo twisted hard, and a sharp pain unlike any other in his back struck him, after which Ding lost consciousness and was freed from the agony.

This time, under Uchiha Gen's orders, Biwa Juzo did not leave any survivors as he had done with Rasa's guards.

Those who entered the Root were too unlucky and miserable, so Uchiha Gen preferred to spend a little more time and effort rather than absorb their souls and lifespans.

It was already miserable enough to be alive, but to die without even the chance to go to the Pure Land is truly tragic.

As long as all the physical materials of the three are disposed of afterwards, there is no need to worry about them being summoned out for questioning by a technique similar to Edo Tensei.

Even if they were to actually be summoned, it wouldn't matter, because Danzo's guards wouldn't be able to see what happened next.

Ding died, and there was no support, because Danzo and the others were also too busy to help themselves.

The pufferfish demon activated its water-style ninjutsu underwater, sending jets of high-pressure water shooting upwards from the ground.

Although it doesn't possess the overwhelming power of Tobirama Senju's Water Release, which could render rocks as tofu, it's still not something a mortal body can withstand.

Kisame Hoshigaki stood at a distance and used water-style ninjutsu, his dense shark fins cleaving through the waves, targeting Danzo and his companions.

At this moment, Danzo was in a very bad mood, not only because the situation was unfavorable to him, but also because of the actions of Kisame and the others.

One attacks by using a water clone as cover while the real body blends in, constantly changing its position; another attacks from underwater; and yet another attacks from a great distance.

All his actions seemed to indicate that the ninjas he had created by imitating the Ino-Shika-Cho trio were too far away to be attacked, and only his Wind Release ninjutsu could catch them...

However, in an environment where water is everywhere, directly using ninjutsu is likely to be ineffective and would only waste precious chakra.

The feeling that his underwear had been seen through made Danzo feel terrible, and he had a bad feeling about it, which made him very restless and uneasy.

"Create a fighting opportunity for me at all costs, even if it means death..."

Danzo suppressed his inner turmoil and gave the order in a deep, expressionless voice.

Upon hearing Danzo's order, the remaining two Root ninjas did not hesitate to use desperate measures.

A Nara clan ninja took out a secret Root medicine and swallowed it, while an Akimichi clan ninja took out a secret Akimichi clan red pill and swallowed it...

Although I'm still feeling a bit unwell, the fever has finally subsided. A cold is already quite unpleasant, let alone mycoplasma or influenza A. Everyone must pay attention to keeping warm and taking precautions.
