In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

"Yes, Captain!"

……

The night was desolate.

From the moment Tianyu's identity was exposed,

He had already leaped out, transforming into a black shadow, and dashed wildly into the pitch-black night.

His current strength is insufficient to contend with the entire Root Clan's power.

Therefore, he knew that once his identity was exposed to Root, even if he escaped Konoha, he would be hunted down to the ends of the earth by Root ninjas.

That price was simply too high for him to bear!

In the vast darkness of night,

Tianyu continuously put the sandbags that were tied to his body into his storage ring.

Two hundred catties, one hundred and fifty catties, one hundred catties, fifty catties...

As the weight on his body decreased, Tianyu felt his body becoming lighter and lighter, and he could feel himself moving faster and faster, as if he were walking on air.

The biting wind, like knives, whistled past his ears.

Tianyu's slender figure.

Fleeing madly in the darkness, like a bolt of lightning!

Tianyu held his breath the entire time, focusing all his attention on what was behind him.

After he removed all his burdens, although he had not yet learned to open the Eight Gates, he had already reached the level of a Jonin or above in terms of speed.

It would take those Root ninjas quite a while to catch up with him.

His invisibility mask only had a one-minute cooldown.

One minute later,

After donning the concealment mask once more and hiding his presence completely,

Even if those Root ninjas had extraordinary abilities, they wouldn't be able to find him!

"Huh? They didn't catch up? These Root ninjas are too slow."

After running a long way, Tenyu turned around to check on the Root ninjas and found that they were getting further and further away from him, and their speed in catching up was not as fast as his.

Tianyu breathed a huge sigh of relief.

It turns out I overestimated the speed of those Root ninjas!

Soon, Tianyu realized why he had misjudged the speed.

The only Jonin he had ever come into contact with was Might Guy, who possessed the strength of an elite Jonin.

Therefore, Tenyu subconsciously estimated that the speed of those Jonin-level Root ninjas would be similar to Might Guy's usual speed.

However, in reality, not all Jonin are as proficient in taijutsu as Might Guy.

In other words, in terms of Jonin strength,

A ninja who can reach the speed of Might Guy,

In the entire Hidden Leaf Village, there's only one Might Guy!

With Tenyu's terrifying strength in taijutsu, he can go toe-to-toe with Might Guy for hundreds of moves. It would be extremely difficult for those Root ninjas to catch up with him.

[Ding! Concealment Mask cooldown complete!]

A notification sound came from the system.

At this moment, Tianyu's tension had completely dissipated.

A slight smile unconsciously crept onto his lips as he glanced at the Root ninjas chasing after him, thinking to himself,

Hahaha, you idiots at the roots!

I'm not playing with you guys anymore!

immediately,

Tianyu put on a concealment mask.

His figure and presence then completely vanished into the air.

……

"how is the situation?"

Shimura Danzo's face was ashen.

He coldly questioned the Root ninja who was kneeling before him.

Sweat poured down his temples beneath the Root ninja mask as he forcefully suppressed his fear and quickly replied:

"Lord Danzo, all the Sharingan we collected before have been stolen by that thief."

"what?!"

Danzo Shimura let out a loud shout,

He was so enraged that his hair stood on end, and he roared furiously:

"Are you a bunch of useless trash? You managed to have your Sharingan stolen in front of so many people!"

"It's my fault, sir," the Root captain said in a deep voice. "I really didn't expect that the other party would dare to disguise themselves as you and appear in front of us. The other party's disguise technique is really powerful. Even our Root's sensory ninjas couldn't detect any clues."

"Hmph, these are all excuses for your incompetence!" Shimura Danzo shouted angrily, then said with a cold look in his eyes, "Do you know what the consequences will be for your failure this time?"

The face beneath the Root Division commander's mask turned pale instantly.

He then drew the sword from his waist and slashed it down at his shoulder, aiming for his left arm.

With a thud, his left arm fell off his body.

Fresh blood kept gushing out.

This is the punishment for the Root ninjas' long-standing dereliction of duty, and even he, the Root captain, is not exempt.

The corps commander knew very well what losing an arm meant to him.

This means that he will soon be ousted from his position as captain and become someone within Root who can be sacrificed at any time...

As for Danzo...

We have now arrived at another place.

Although the theft of his Sharingan had already infuriated Danzo to the point of wanting to vomit blood.

However, since the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, wanted to see him late at night, as the head of Root, he really couldn't refuse.

In the Hokage's office,

Hiruzen Sarutobi was puffing on his pipe.

He squinted at Shimura Danzo before him and slowly said...

"Danzo, I know that tonight all the Sharingan of the Uchiha clan are in your hands."

However, these Sharingan eyes belong to the village, so I think you should still entrust them to me, the Hokage, for safekeeping.

Is this robbery?

This is blatant robbery!

Upon hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Danzo Shimura was so angry he wanted to curse.

No wonder Hiruzen Sarutobi had previously maintained an attitude that his forces would absolutely not interfere in this matter, leaving it entirely to him.

So that old schemer was actually waiting for him here?

Now they're even using his Hokage status and the village to pressure him?

What a hypocrite!

Danzo, already furious about the theft of his Sharingan, was already seething with anger tonight.

His face was now ashen, so black it looked like ink could drip from it.

He said in an annoyed tone:

"Sarutobi, then you're probably going to be disappointed."

"My Sharingan was stolen tonight. I've been searching my Root Eyes all night, but I haven't found any trace of the thief."

Hiruzen Sarutobi narrowed his eyes, his voice turning colder. "Do you think I'd believe that excuse? Danzo, you're underestimating me."

puff--!

Danzo felt like he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood!

How can this be an excuse? This is simply the truth!

You don't believe me? You think I'm making excuses to deliberately steal the Sharingan?

Injustice! Utter injustice!

Danzo, however, couldn't find a reason to explain himself, and was now extremely frustrated.

Because that thief really didn't leave them even a trace to follow; his methods were extremely clever.

"Fine, if you don't believe me, I really don't have the Sharingan right now!" Danzo said irritably.

Now, Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression also turned grim.

During this period, Danzo has repeatedly disobeyed my orders, and now he even wants to keep something as precious as the Sharingan for himself.

It seems it's time to show him what he, as Hokage, is capable of.

"Your subordinates are so incompetent, they can't even handle this small matter."

Then this organization has no reason to exist!

The relationship between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura

They suddenly became adversaries.

I got nervous...
