Danzo Shimura couldn't figure it out, but what he couldn't figure out even more was why he thought of something he had never thought of before.

The release of the vacuum wave paused for a moment, and Seto Chihiro, who was hiding in the vines behind Danzo, seized the opportunity.

At this moment, the vines that had been broken grew countless green branches like a dead tree coming back to life, and they tightly wrapped around Shimura Danzo's limbs like flowing water.

"Wood Release. Violent Spear Tree!"

Most of the remaining chakra in Danzo's body was concentrated on his right arm. A sapling suddenly drilled out from the gap in the vines, and the vines wrapped around Danzo's right arm also exploded.

But in less than a second, the growth of the sapling suddenly stopped, and the vines on Danzo's body suddenly became thicker, and a familiar countdown appeared.

Seto Chihiro stayed in the vines for a few seconds, and only after confirming that all the chakra on Shimura Danzo had disappeared did she crawl out of Fujiki.

"Is the knot...over?"

"I can't feel Danzo's chakra anymore."

"What an amazing ninjutsu!"

Several people crawled out from the vines one after another. Even though they had seen the whole process, they still couldn't help but be surprised.

Jiraiya walked forward, sensed it, and after confirming that Danzo was not dead, he looked at Seto Chihiro with complicated eyes and patted his shoulder with one hand.

"Chihiro, you've worked really hard this time. Don't think too much. Tsunade will definitely investigate these things after she comes back."

After taking one look at the slug lying on Seto Chihiro's neck, the two frogs turned into a pile of smoke and returned to Mount Myoboku.

"Tsunade-sama told me before she left that if I had any problems, I should go to Uncle Shikaku and Captain Kakashi. One of the things she told me was to be careful of Danzo. I was originally wondering who Danzo was, but I didn't expect that what happened today was caused by Danzo."

Jiraiya wanted to say something else but was stopped by Shikaku, who pointed at the slug as well, the former sighed slightly but nodded.

"Master Chihiro, now that the battle is over, it's time for me to leave."

After saying this, the slug looked at Jiraiya and said, "Master Jiraiya, I will tell Master Tsunade everything that happened today."

"Slug-sama, once the information is sorted out, I will send out the jonin Might Guy and at the same time, tell Tsunade-sama what happened today!"

The slug nodded to Shikaku, and a green light gradually appeared on his body. After giving the last bit of chakra in his body to Seto Chihiro, he disappeared on the spot.

Seto Chihiro was still as silent as ever. Ever since she saw the three-magatama Sharingan on Danzo's arm, she seemed like a completely different person.

However, in Jiraiya's eyes, this was Seto Chihiro's stress response to this incident, and it also showed that this kid always regarded the Uchiha clan as companions.

Moreover, this little kid did not choose to kill Danzo in the end. Although he would not stop him if he really killed Danzo, the fact that he did not kill him just shows that this little kid still remained rational.

After a brief thought, Jiraiya felt that, just as Shikaku said, it would be better to call Tsunade back and let her guide the child properly. After all, during the time she was away, this little kid protected the village for her!

"Kotoamatsukami has the ability to rewrite the will of others, and the Mangekyo Sharingan's pupil techniques are still so strange and bizarre." Shikaku recalled the family records and felt a little emotional.

Jiraiya touched the vines and said, "But why does one of the eyes on Danzo's arm close every time he is resurrected?"

"Because that's Izanagi!"

Seto Chihiro's voice sounded, and the other three people focused their attention on him. Shikaku raised his eyebrows: "You also know this ninjutsu?"

"After I fought with the tiger mask man, Sister Mikoto told me about this ninjutsu. It is a ninjutsu that can change your destiny, but the price of this ninjutsu is a three-magatama Sharingan."

"The three-magatama Sharingan?"

Jiraiya felt his scalp tingling when he thought of the arm full of Sharingans on Danzo's arm. He was familiar with human experiments. How many Uchiha clan members would be needed to have an arm full of Sharingans?

"If we have this kind of ninjutsu, doesn't it mean that the opponent will leave once his chakra is restored?" Aburame Shiwei put forward her own opinion.

Shikaku thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps we can call Haiyi here and ask him to say Danzo's catchphrase and seal it in the red gourd."

"No need, actually there is another way to use the red gourd."

Shikaku was puzzled: "Other uses?"

"like this."

Seto Chihiro raised the red gourd, and the vines under Danzo's feet gradually loosened. After a suction, the vines that bound Danzo fell to the ground.

Nara Shikaku was shocked: "Even if you don't say the catchphrase, can you still seal someone?"

"That's right. Once a certain period of time has passed, the red gourd will be able to seal the person away."

Chapter 72 Broken, Really Comfortable

After hearing this, Nara Shikaku was stunned for a moment, and then he kept this matter in mind.

The golden rope is responsible for sending out the words, the Seven Star Sword is responsible for cutting off and recording the words, and the red gourd is responsible for absorbing the words. If the other party does not say the catchphrase for a long time after the red gourd absorbs the words, the red gourd will also collect the person whose words are recorded on the Seven Star Sword into the red gourd.

He and Jiraiya exchanged a glance and said, "Since Danzo has been defeated by us, I would like to trouble Zhiwei to send Chihiro back to the Senju clan's base first."

"Huh? You're letting me go now?"

Jiraiya hummed, walked to the edge of the floating bridge and looked down.

"The battle of the Root has ended, but the problems of the Root have been completely exposed to Konoha's sight. What happens next is not suitable for a child like you to participate in."

Seto Chihiro was silent for a second, and finally said with a sigh: "Master Jiraiya, you are so heartless. You want to let me go after I finish the hard work, right?"

Jiraiya didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Don't worry, Master Jiraiya and I have seen all your efforts today, and you will definitely be rewarded when the time comes."

"Then it's a deal! But I want to take the red gourd too. I want to wait for Lady Tsunade to come back and give it to her personally."

Jiraiya was a little troubled about this matter. He was one of the three ninjas, but he didn't return to the village for many years. He still needed to see Kakashi's opinion on this matter.

But Kakashi now...

At this time, Shikaku made his suggestion: "No problem, the red gourd was originally your trophy, but because Danzo is imprisoned in it, the ninjas from the Anbu will appear in the Senju clan in a while."

"Of course I know this."

Whether the Anbu ninja will appear in the Senju clan is not a big deal for Seto Chihiro. She can just take this time to have a good rest.

What is important is the three Jinchūriki in the red gourd. If Konoha accidentally seals the three Jinchūriki while interrogating Danzo, it would be a loss.

"Zhiwei, if you see Kakashi wake up, please tell him that everything has been taken care of. Remember to ask him to send two more ANBU ninjas."

"I see."

Seto Chihiro immediately took out the storage scroll from her ninja tool bag, put away the red gourd, and followed Zhiwei out of the Root base.

It was still noon, but compared to when they came in, it had started to rain. In this situation, usually everyone would go home, but now one could see groups of Konoha ninjas transporting various materials towards the commercial street.

In order to appease people's hearts, Shikaku has released the news that the Fifth Hokage has taken office. Many smart vendors have already put out signs saying that the Fifth Hokage has taken office and discounts start at 20% within three days.

When Seto Chihiro brought Aburame Shiwei to the Senju clan, she saw Kakashi arguing with Shizune with a wooden stick.

Kakashi's face was pale and sweaty, but there was an indescribable determination in his eyes: "I'm sorry, I may be injured now, but I need to send Anbu ninjas to support Lord Jiraiya."

Jingyin held her forehead with one hand and held the anesthetic needle with the other, and said in distress: "You also know that you are injured. If you have anything to say, I can help you convey it. With your current physical condition, you can't even walk properly without a cane."

"But..."

"Actually, I also think that Captain Kakashi doesn't need to go anymore."

Seto Chihiro and Aburame Shiwei came over, and their voices attracted the attention of Kakashi and Shizune. Shizune saw him standing in front of her in good condition, and immediately threw Kakashi aside.

"Junior brother, I'm so glad you're okay."

Shizune cares about her junior fellow apprentice very much, especially after learning a series of things from the clone. After treating Kakashi, she began to stand in the yard and wait anxiously. If Kakashi had not insisted on going out, she might have been on the way to the Root by now.

Although Seto Chihiro's Wood Release is very powerful, in her impression, the leader of the Root is second only to one person and above a hundred people, but they only have four people, and without the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to replenish the chakra for the junior brother, the junior brother's chakra is not enough. What should she do?

Seto Chihiro held the anesthetic needle in her hand, and Shizune, who was examining him, felt a headache: "Senior Sister, I really didn't suffer any injuries."

"Listen, let me check you out!"

Kakashi's eyes lit up when he saw Shiwei the Aburame standing not far away. He used his crutches to move towards Shiwei with all his strength, and the latter took the initiative to walk over.

"Chief Shiwei, what happened after I fell into a coma? Danzo's right eye..." Kakashi paused here.

Aburame Shizue nodded slightly: "It's a kaleidoscope..."

"..."

The expression on Kakashi's face was very interesting. He actually wanted to ask if that was the three-magatama Sharingan.

"...Then Danzo himself is now..."

"Inside Seto Chihiro's gourd, Staff Officer Shikaku gave him this mission."

"..."

Seeing this, Kakashi knew that he really couldn't stay there any longer, and he threw away the stick in his hand with a determined look, but he fell straight down before he could hold on for even a second. Fortunately, Zhiwei was quick-witted and controlled the insects to drag Kakashi up.

How should I put it, Seto Chihiro can understand Aburame Shiwei's straightforward way of doing things, but she hopes that he will speak more quietly next time when he talks about such things.

After Aburame Shiwei and Kakashi left the Senju clan, Shizune pulled him into the bedroom with a stern face and asked him to tell her everything that happened today.

Anyway, Shizune will become Tsunade's secretary in the future, and Shikaku didn't emphasize that Shizune shouldn't be told about this before he left, which means that this matter can be told.

Seto Chihiro narrated the events in a vivid and moving voice, such as Danzo's collusion with Orochimaru, Danzo's assassination of him, Danzo's Sharingan on one arm, Danzo's eyes were Shisui's eyes, Danzo could release Wood Release...

At the end of the story, Shizune examined Seto Chihiro again and asked many questions before she confirmed that the little junior brother was not hit by Kotoamatsukami's ninjutsu.

"I never thought that there was such a secret behind the Uchiha clan."

"That's right, you didn't expect it. In fact, I didn't expect it either." Seto Chihiro nodded in agreement.

The corners of Shizune's mouth twitched, and she didn't know where to start complaining. She thought to herself that you look so calm, it doesn't look like you haven't thought of anything. Since you heard the name of Orochimaru, you brought the Uchiha clan to the Senju clan. It can be said that you have made sufficient preparations.

Then she suddenly remembered something, and looked at Seto Chihiro with a complex emotion. She thought, Junior Brother looks calm now, but he must be very uncomfortable inside, right? He even doesn't know how to face the Uchiha clan in the future, right?

In fact, Seto Chihiro was really calm. Kotoamatsukami was now in his hands. According to Tsunade's personality, the latter would not bother to use this eye.

"Chihiro..."

"?"

Seto Chihiro raised her head and looked at Shizune in surprise as she walked right in front of her. The seemingly loose kimono was actually very conservative and did not open up at all because of her bending over.

"Chihiro, don't keep anything in your heart. Lady Tsunade and I both care about you very much."

The corners of Jingyin's mouth curled up slightly, and her white arms came out from her sleeves and stroked her short black hair.

She went to Seto Chihiro's former residence in person and knew clearly what kind of life Seto Chihiro had led in the past. Apart from her and Tsunade, she might be the only one left in the Uchiha clan. This junior brother had talked the most to her in the past six months.

Now, the Uchiha clan's extermination seems to have a hidden story. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If the Uchiha clan betrays Konoha, what choice will the junior brother make? According to the junior brother's intelligence, this kind of thing is probably within his predictable range.

"Even Lady Tsunade of the Senju clan wouldn't want to see something like this happen to the Uchiha clan. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

"Senior Sister, to be honest, I don't put too much pressure on myself."

Seto Chihiro tried to break free from Shizune's hand, but was held firmly in place by Shizune. He was strong enough to break free, but after thinking about it, he gave up the idea. It seemed unreasonable for him to break free from Shizune's hand, but it also seemed like there was no reason for him to be touched like this, right?

However, he didn't know that Jingyin regarded his action as the stubbornness unique to children.

"Really? Can you look me in the eye and say that?"

"..."

Seto Chihiro watched as Shizune put her hands on his shoulders and leaned her head against him. The warm touch on his forehead and the aroma mixed with disinfectant that drifted into his nose made his heart suddenly jump into his throat and he felt like he couldn't breathe.

To be honest, he was moved, but he didn't know why.

Seto Chihiro pursed her lips and tilted her head slightly: "It's fake, I don't dare to look into your eyes."

She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Shizune seemed to feel the sound of her heartbeat. Only then did she realize that the distance between the two of them was more or less too close. Thinking of the scene where Chihiro wiped her tears yesterday afternoon, she stood up again in embarrassment.

"No, I don't dare? How can you...say it so confidently?"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. I don't feel much pressure. I just feel a little tired and want to sleep."

Seto Chihiro waved her hand, made up an excuse, and turned back to her room. The feeling of awkwardness and the inexplicably faster heartbeat was even more terrifying than a month ago when she was penniless and facing Yagura who had transformed into a tailed beast.

"Wait... lie on the bed, I'll give you a massage... I often give Lady Tsunade a massage after she gets drunk." Shizune pointed to the bed in the bedroom, and her voice became lower and lower.

"Me? Forget it, Senior Sister. With my physique, I only had an hour of sparring with Yagura the night before and I'll be fine after a good night's sleep. How could I possibly need a massage? Stop kidding..."

A minute later, the single bed in the bedroom was bearing the weight of two people.

Seto Chihiro narrowed her eyes, her mind relaxing as she followed Shizune's movements, her breathing sometimes light and sometimes heavy.

Let me tell you one thing...

This massage technique is really comfortable!
