Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted a reminder.

Sensing danger, Fugaku Uchiha immediately lunged forward. Although he dodged the fatal attack, he still suffered a shallow wound on his back.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's clone immediately used a ninjutsu.

Earth Release: Earth Flow River!

The soil on the ground surged towards Obito Uchiha like a raging river.

When Obito Uchiha was hit by a ninjutsu, his body turned into a wooden doll.

"Wooden Clone!"

Obito Uchiha appeared where the wooden ingot wall had been, having already completed the hand seals.

Fire Release: Explosive Wind Dance!

As space distorted, flames, like fiery serpents, engulfed Hiruzen Sarutobi.

"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's clone immediately used Water Release to defend.

However, it was quickly suppressed by Obito Uchiha's Fire Release.

This is a fire release technique comparable to Madara Uchiha's fire release.

Under this ninjutsu, Hiruzen Sarutobi's shadow clones were completely destroyed.

However, just as Obito Uchiha finished his Fire Release technique, another whooshing sound rang out above his head.

Obito Uchiha had no time to react.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was already wielding two Vajra staffs, and he struck him squarely on the head.

This is a full-force swing from Hiruzen Sarutobi!

The immense pressure created gusts of air.

The surrounding land was whipped up in waves, and a large number of trees were blown away.

Once the aftershocks subsided, Obito Uchiha was lying on the ground, his body a bloody mess.

No, to be precise, there is no such thing as flesh and blood.

Instead, it was a white mass that was even wriggling, as if it were about to grow back.

Is it over?

Fugaku Uchiha stood up. Although he had been stabbed in the back, the wound did not affect his movements.

Moreover, he seemed to be just playing a minor role throughout the battle, providing only some suppressive firepower and doing nothing else.

Fugaku Uchiha felt that even without his help, Hiruzen Sarutobi could have defeated the opponent by himself.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised his Vajra Staff and slammed it down again before finally letting out a long breath.

"It should end now."

Just as he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around, Obito Uchiha's shattered body slowly became transparent.

"Sarutobi, watch out!"

This is a reminder from the ape demon.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly taken aback when a hand suddenly landed on his shoulder.

A whisper as if from a demon rang in his ear.

"Yes, it's finally over!"

A kunai pierced his heart, and at the same time, the black vortex reappeared.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was sent into the Kamui dimension by Obito Uchiha. He didn't intend to finish him off, but rather to let him slowly die inside, so that Obito wouldn't have any more trump cards up his sleeve.

"Three generations!"

Fugaku Uchiha cried out in alarm; he was truly panicked, this was not what had been agreed upon.

Fugaku Uchiha's reaction further convinced Obito Uchiha that the object in the Kamui dimension was Hiruzen Sarutobi's true form.

My mind has become much more relaxed.

"It seems this is indeed your true form!"

The same old routine.

Suddenly emerging from the ground, Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed Obito Uchiha's shoulders with both hands.

Obito Uchiha was shocked to find that Hiruzen Sarutobi in the Kamui dimension had turned into a pile of dirt.

"How is that possible!"

"Hehe, don't underestimate the 'Professor of Ninjutsu'!"

Behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, a huge blue phantom had appeared at some point.

With a blue face and fangs, its appearance was ferocious.

Meanwhile, a blue arm had already reached into Obito Uchiha's body from Hiruzen Sarutobi's abdomen.

A part of the soul has already been torn out.

Obito Uchiha broke out in a cold sweat instantly.

"The Corpse Demon Sealing Technique?!"

He immediately entered a holographic state, moving away from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

But that blue hand remained connected to him.

A smile finally appeared on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face. "The Reaper Death Seal is a sealing technique targeting the soul. Even if your soul is not in this space now, when your eye technique reaches its limit, your soul will enter the stomach of the Shinigami along with me."

"Are you crazy?" Obito Uchiha never expected that Hiruzen Sarutobi would want to die together with him.

"Is he in such a hurry? He seems to still be a child."

Hiruzen Sarutobi actually relaxed a bit at this moment. The appearance of the Reaper Death Seal meant that his life was also on a countdown.

"I didn't want to use this, but your power is too dangerous. Controlling the Nine-Tails, the Mangekyou Sharingan, Wood Release, and that terrifying self-healing ability, I don't know if you have any other tricks up your sleeve. If it weren't for your lack of combat experience, I really wouldn't be able to deal with you."

"This is the only method I'm confident I can use to kill you completely."

"Now that you still have one eye, do you want to try and see if Izanagi can escape the fate of the Grim Reaper?"

"Trade it for your invincible eye technique!"

……

……

The thesis group went to a meeting, hence the late update.

Chapter 113 Konoha Raised a Ghost

Leaves are divided into black and white.

White, Hiruzen Sarutobi is the largest; Black, Danzo Shimura is the largest.

Black and white are not clearly distinguished, and good and evil cannot coexist.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura were also brothers, sharing an unbreakable bond since childhood.

The Root was an organization established and commanded by Danzo Shimura. Its initial purpose was to train personnel for Hiruzen Sarutobi's ANBU.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also tacitly acknowledged his existence.

At the beginning of Hiruzen Sarutobi's tenure as Hokage, Danzo Shimura's Root organization became Konoha's most direct and effective weapon for a long time, eliminating all threats inside and outside the village with the attitude of "better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free".

However, power often corrupts, and absolute power leads to absolute corruption.

Initially, the Root was organized according to the divisions of the Dark Division, with four squads led by Danzo, totaling 17 people.

But over the years, it has become, like the roots of a large tree, intricate and complex, forming an extremely large organization.

There are countless researchers and intelligence agents.

Moreover, the Roots only obey Danzo's orders.

After the Nine-Tails' rampage ended, members of Root, under Danzo's orders, even formed a ten-man team to assassinate Hiruzen Sarutobi, who had been reinstated.

It was only because Kakashi, whom he had originally recruited, defected at the last minute and failed.

Then came the famous "You'll regret it" classic scene.

However, Hiruzen Sarutobi ultimately chose to forgive Danzo Shimura.

Perhaps this is the bond between the men of Konoha.

However, as a tacitly approved entity, Root's combat personnel are still only in the size of a secret squad, which is only seventeen people.

just now.

As the leader of the Root and the one who bears the blame, Shimura Danzo remains at his Root base at this important juncture.

He also wanted to go to the festival to see Konoha, which was now thriving.

But he has more important things to do now.

"Did you find anything out of the investigation?"

Danzo Shimura questioned his subordinates about the Root.

The Root ninja shook his head. "Aside from meeting the Jinchuriki once, the Hokage has stayed in the Hokage Building and has never left."

"Never left?" Shimura Danzo frowned, stood up, and paced back and forth in his office.

"Hiruzen has been acting so strangely lately, he must be up to something, but I never expected him to be keeping it from me now."

Danzo Shimura sighed with emotion, lamenting how things had changed so much.

Even if he had assassinated the other party back then, Hiruzen would have forgiven him. Now, just because of a rumor, he keeps his distance from him.

They didn't even tell him about the village's plans.

"Go and organize the intelligence. I'm going to the Hokage Building."
