The Tenseigan started from the Hyuga main family.

"That old fool who takes advantage of his age..."

Although Jiraiya tried to keep his sarcastic remarks to himself, every ninja present had sharp ears and eyes, and naturally heard them clearly.

"Alright, everyone, our most pressing matter now is to consider how to handle the situation on the other side of the Nanhe River..."

Seeing the two Hokage advisors' faces as black as ink, Nara Shikaku, who had been silent all along, interjected.

"What else can we do? Let's go see what Danzo is up to!"

After Jiraiya finished speaking, without waiting for Mitokado Homura to open his mouth, he stood up and jumped out of the window.

A group of Jonin, including Shikaku and Kakashi, followed closely behind without saying a word.

In the blink of an eye, only the two Hokage advisors remained in the conference room.

"This Jiraiya, at his age, is still so reckless. How can we trust him to take over the position of Fifth Hokage?"

Although she was already aware of the prestige of the Sannin in Konoha, seeing this scene still made Koharu Utatane indignant.

"Alright, let's go see what Danzo is up to..."

Mitokado Homura sighed, slowly stood up, opened the door, and headed towards the exit of the Hokage Building.

As a noble advisor to the Hokage, one should not enter or exit through the window, otherwise it would be beneath one's dignity.

-----------------

Upon learning of Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, Team 7 was in low spirits and was wandering aimlessly through the streets.

"Look, it's Kakashi-sensei and the others..."

As the group of Jonin leaped across the rooftop, they were spotted by Naruto, who looked up, and immediately started shouting.

As Sasuke Uchiha watched the group of Jonin leave, he suddenly leaped up without a word and followed in their footsteps.

Naruto and Sakura exchanged a glance, and naturally wouldn't miss the chance to join in the fun, so they also leaped onto the roof and sped away.

-----------------

Seeing Danzo slowly raise his arms and begin to form hand seals, Hyuga Sawatatsu waved his hand, and a large number of puppets surrounded Danzo.

Izanagi solution!

came back!

As Danzo's consciousness returned to reality from the illusion, before he could even feel happy, he saw a dark shadow flash before his eyes and felt a sharp pain in his right eye and left shoulder at the same time.

The Mangekyou Sharingan within his eye sockets, along with his left arm (which had never had Hashirama cells transplanted), were simultaneously detached from his body under the attack of the human puppet.

Ah!

The intense pain from the two wounds caused Danzo to cry out in pain. As he staggered and tried to break free of the encirclement, he found himself surrounded by a dense mass of human puppets.

"You're lying to me, that's not Izanami at all!"

Stimulated by the excruciating pain, Danzo's mind became clearer than ever before, and he suddenly lost control and roared.

Illusions enhanced by Sharingan power cannot be dispelled by disrupting one's own chakra; otherwise, there would be no warning of "one-on-one, escape" when dealing with Sharingan genjutsu.

"You're right, it's a pity you realized it too late..."

With a flash, Hyuga Sawa appeared behind Danzo, a huge Bagua pattern enveloping Danzo.

Soft Fist Technique: Bagua Sixty-Four Palms!

As countless palms rained down like butterflies flitting among flowers, Danzo's body rose into the air like a leaf in the wind. His meridians and acupoints were sealed one by one by the Gentle Fist technique, rendering him unable to mobilize even a trace of chakra.

"I didn't realize you were so cowardly at such a young age. I, an old man with one arm missing, can no longer perform hand seals, and I've even had my Mangekyou Sharingan removed, yet you still don't trust me?"

Suffering repeated heavy blows, Danzo turned pale and coughed up blood, yet he still laughed heartily, his face and eyes filled with sarcasm.

"Being cautious is the only way to survive longer in the ninja world. After all, what if Lord Danzo suddenly decides to use the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique?"

Hinata Sawatatsu smiled calmly, ignoring the sarcasm of the loser.

"So, you want to kill me? No secrets stay hidden forever. Once even the slightest word is leaked, you'll be forever branded with the infamy of murdering your comrade. After all, even the dead can speak..."

Danzo swayed, an unprecedented weariness washing over him. Ignoring the blood still wet on the ground, he collapsed to the ground, displaying his utter weakness.

Hyuga Zetsu's act of sealing his own chakra actually relieved Danzo, who knew his life was spared.

After all, there's no easier way than killing someone with a single blow.

Don't think you've won. I've roamed the ninja world for decades. What storms haven't I weathered? As long as I live, I will one day reclaim everything I've lost!

These thoughts had just surfaced in Danzo's mind when a pale green light appeared in Hyuga Sawatatsu's palm, illuminating the somewhat dim forest caused by the setting sun.

"what is this?"

Danzo raised his head and saw Hyuga Sawatatsu's face filled with a malicious smile.

"Aren't you curious why all your loyal subordinates have joined my ranks?"

Seeing Hyuga Sawa flick his finger and send a weightless sphere of spiritual energy floating up and shooting towards him, Danzo knew something was wrong and immediately retreated using both his hands and feet.

Danzo's retreat speed was clearly not as fast as the spiritual orb, and he could only watch helplessly as the orb disappeared into his body.

"After today, your title of 'Pot Shadow' will be truly deserved..."

A pot shadow?

What do you mean?

This was the question that remained in Danzo's mind before he completely lost consciousness.

Chapter 59 Showing Off Muscles

At this moment, a group of Konoha Jonin, led by Jiraiya, had arrived outside the forest.

"Lord Jiraiya!"

Seeing the entire high command come out, the three secret agents who remained to observe and monitor breathed a sigh of relief and leaped out of the bushes.

"Any new discoveries?"

Jiraiya glanced at the eight Root members still holding kunai in the distance, then turned around and asked.

"No, Lord Jiraiya, they have remained motionless in that position the whole time, and there is nothing unusual in the forest."

The squad leader shook his head, indicating that he had found nothing.

"go!"

Jiraiya did not hesitate and took the lead, with many Jonin following closely behind.

Upon seeing Jiraiya and the others, the eyes of the eight Root members remained calm as they raised their kunai and assumed fighting stances.

"The root lies ahead..."

Just as the leader of the Root members opened his mouth, an unparalleled pressure of chakra erupted from Jiraiya's body. Under the immense pressure, not only were his unfinished words forced back into his mouth, but the immense pressure also caused the eight Root members to stiffen up, making their every move incredibly slow.

"Although Konoha has a rule against fighting among yourselves, if you dare to obstruct us again, you can expect to spend two months in the hospital!"

Jiraiya had long disliked Danzo's leadership of Root, so naturally he wouldn't give him a friendly look.

Under the perception of the eight Root members, Jiraiya's physique grew incredibly tall as he approached step by step. Every glance and every movement was filled with oppressive power, and their entire minds suffered a tremendous shock.

They're not even on the same level...

As expected of the Three Ninja!

The many Jonin behind Jiraiya, while not the first to be affected, were still impacted to varying degrees.

It seems that Jiraiya-sama's travels throughout the ninja world over the years haven't been solely for research and publishing novels. Even the Third Hokage at his peak probably couldn't compare to Jiraiya-sama...

The gloom that had enveloped the Jonin due to Hiruzen Sarutobi's death was swept away after Jiraiya displayed his immense power.

Jiraiya glanced coldly at the eight Root members and strode forward, now less than a foot from the forest ahead.

Just then, Jiraiya's expression changed slightly, and he tilted his ear to try to catch the sound coming from the forest.

The next moment, a series of clattering sounds filled the air, and puppets dressed in red robes soared into the sky, breaking free from the cover of the forest and appearing densely packed in front of everyone.

"The puppet squad from the Sand Village?"

As the nearly three hundred puppet troops slowly approached, many people's expressions immediately changed.

Could it be that the Sand Village, unwilling to accept defeat, has assembled its most elite puppeteer squad in an attempt to attack Konoha once again?

However, even though the number of puppeteers in Sunagakure was the highest in the ninja world, they only formed a few puppeteer teams. How could they possibly control such a large puppet army at the same time?

With such power, wouldn't it be enough to sweep away any small country outside the five major powers?

At that moment, all the puppets simultaneously raised their hands, and spheres of chakra light condensed, illuminating the entire sky.

"Be careful! The power of each of these chakra orbs is at least equivalent to a B-rank ninjutsu."

With a cold expression, Yamanaka Inoichi kept his eyes closed. The Yamanaka clan's sensory techniques had already assessed the power of the chakra orb.

B-rank ninjutsu?

Many Jonin gasped in shock.

How powerful would it be if nearly three hundred B-rank ninjutsu were to bombard us simultaneously?

"Hiashi, use your Byakugan to locate the puppeteer's exact position."

Throughout, Jiraiya remained calm, ignoring the countless chakra orbs, and instead turned to look at Hiashi Hyuga beside him.

"The Byakugan didn't detect the chakra threads connecting the puppeteer and the puppet..."

Without Jiraiya's prompting, Hiashi Hyuga had already activated his Byakugan. However, to his disbelief, within the Byakugan's vision, none of the puppets were being manipulated by chakra threads; the chakra originated from the puppets themselves.

No chakra threads?

Could it be that the Sand Village's puppetry techniques have achieved a qualitative breakthrough?

"What's hidden inside the forest?"

Under Jiraiya's persistent questioning, Hiashi's face showed disbelief.

"There was a blue glow there, but you couldn't see anything..."

what?

Is there really a way to block out disapproving looks in the world?
