Chapter 206
After saying this, Sasuke drew out his kunai without warning and shot at the person in front of him. At the same time, he stepped on his feet and quickly retreated to escape from the area he was in.
After all, Sasuke had been training for a whole day. After consuming a lot of physical strength and chakra, he was not suitable to fight with unknown enemies. It was better to escape quickly and make some noise to get help.
The enemy behind him was a step slower because of the kunai attack. However, in front of Sasuke's escape route, a group of twisted and twisted insects like mist attacked him.
Fortunately, Sasuke had already prepared for more than one enemy. Facing the oncoming attack, he quickly formed a seal and performed the Great Fireball Technique to burn the attacking insects. Then he extracted the few chakras and prepared to use Chidori to break through the enemy's blockade, but suddenly found that his body could not move.
'What!' Sasuke's face changed slightly, and soon found that the shadow under his feet had changed into an abnormal shape and extended to the wall on the right side of his body, where a person wearing a mask and a pineapple head was squatting.
Da~da~da~
A sound of a cane hitting the ground came from the front. Sasuke looked closely and saw an old man wearing a black and gray kimono and with a somewhat eerie aura, walking out from the shadows of the intersection in front of him, surrounded by two other masked people.
The two people who had talked to him at the beginning and controlled him with the shadow mimicry technique also surrounded him, but it was obvious that the old man who showed his face was the one in charge, so Sasuke naturally focused all his attention on him.
Walking slowly to Sasuke, Danzo looked deeply into Sasuke's bright red pupil with his uncovered left eye, and said in a low voice: "What a fascinating and corrupting power... Take it away..."
As soon as the order was issued, a familiar and annoying voice came from behind Danzo: "Danzo, I should have told you not to move in the near future, why are you here... and what do you want to do to Sasuke..."
Standing still for a moment, Danzo slowly turned around and looked behind him, and the first thing he saw was Sarutobi Hiruzen wearing a shadow robe and with a serious expression.
Looking at this annoying outfit, Danzo took a deep breath, suppressed his emotions, and said slowly: "Hiruzen, you should know that this kid is the key to controlling Itachi..."
Danzo pointed to the sky that was not very clear because of the darkening night, and his expression became increasingly ugly: "Since that thing appeared in the sky, Konoha's secrets may be exposed at any time... So in order to better control the situation, and to make Uchiha Itachi always remember his role, Uchiha Sasuke must be more closely guarded..."
"Danzo, you still didn't answer me, why are you here..."
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression was still serious and even a little indifferent, and seeing such an old friend who was getting to the bottom of things, Danzo's anger rose slightly, and his voice rose a little: "This is necessary..."
"Alas..." Seeing that he was still planning to continue to be cunning Danzo, who was arguing, sighed in disappointment, interrupted him and said: "Danzo, we have known each other for decades. Just like you know my personality and habits very well, do you think I don't know what kind of person you are..."
"You do have the intention to control Itachi through Sasuke, but the more critical target is still Naruto." Sarutobi Hiruzen said something that made Danzo's face change drastically: "The witch of the Demon Country, the Grayer Mine and Timsi, the eleven Genin who are closely related to Naruto, Gaara of Sand Village, and even Orochimaru... Since the appearance of the Sky Curtain, the actions of the Root have become more and more frequent..."
"What do you want..." Danzo's expression was very bad. Has this damn old monkey changed his nature? He could just ignore the assassination before, but now he actually told him what he did without reservation!
Almost at the moment when Danzo realized that something was wrong, a large number of Anbu suddenly appeared in the four directions of front, back, left, and right, surrounding him and his four men tightly.
"I've thought about it for a long time, and I've given you chances again and again, but you've been getting worse and worse, so I think we can't make the same mistake anymore. Let's correct it tonight, Uchiha, Naruto..." Sarutobi Hiruzen tore off his shadow robe to reveal the battle outfit underneath. Looking at the old monkey who seemed to be serious, Danzo's face was so gloomy that water could drip out: "Mistake?! Correct?! Hiruzen, do you want to destroy Konoha!"
"Hehe, if it was before, I might worry about this, but I'm different from you. Since the sky curtain appeared, I've seen greater possibilities for Konoha. I believe that after the disappearance ofExcept for the rotten roots and branches, the big tree of Konoha will grow more luxuriantly. "Sarutobi Hiruzen's wrinkled face showed a high-spirited smile: "It's been a long time since I felt so happy. It reminds me of the days when I fought under Lord Tobirama before I became Hokage!"
"Okay, hand over Sasuke now. I have let down the Uchiha once, and I can't let down the rest of the Uchiha. In exchange, let's go to the No. 45 training ground and let the two old guys have a long-awaited contest!"
Looking at Sarutobi Hiruzen who was in a fighting posture, as if he was ready to let the surrounding Anbu rush in if he didn't agree, Danzo was so angry.
But before he opened his mouth, Sasuke, who had been keeping quiet since Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared, suddenly interrupted and said, "What were you talking about just now..."
The atmosphere suddenly became cold, but Sasuke didn't care about that. He stared at the two old men in front of him and roared loudly, "What do you know about Itachi! What do you mean I am the key to control Itachi! Sandaime, how did you let down Uchiha! "
Seeing that Sasuke's spirit was greatly stimulated, but the most urgent task was to deal with Danzo first, so Sarutobi Hiruzen said to him with a little apology: "I'm sorry Sasuke, I have to settle with Danzo first, but I promise you that after the matter is settled, I will tell you the truth in detail, whether it is the truth of Uchiha's genocide or the truth of Itachi. "
Without waiting for Sasuke's response, Sarutobi Hiruzen disappeared in a flash. Danzo knew that tonight's incident would not end well, so he followed Sarutobi Hiruzen's steps under the vague siege of several Anbu.
The four members of the Root looked at each other, not knowing what to do next. Danzo didn't give them any orders.
However, the Anbu around them didn't show them any mercy. They disarmed them in a few moves, and then knocked out Sasuke who was about to chase to the No. 45 training ground to ask for clarification. Under the instructions of the leader, they returned to the base.
