88 Chapter 88

Danzo, this guy, is undoubtedly a meticulous egotist.

He always professes 'everything for Konoha,' yet his actual actions have undermined Konoha countless times.

The vast majority of what he does is for himself because he has a dream, a dream of becoming Hokage.

For this so-called dream, he can forsake Konoha's interests; he can use any means to eliminate those who obstruct his path.

Even if it's Hiruzen Sarutobi, he dares to attempt an assassination. Such a man is nothing more than a lunatic immersed in his own inner world.

In his previous life, Kaito had no fondness for this guy at all, and now having crossed into the world of Naruto and become an Uchiha, his animosity needs no further explanation.

Kaito believes that even if he hadn't become an Uchiha after crossing over, and had become a ninja of any other Konoha clan, he would still have no affection for Danzo.

Casually shaking off the fresh blood from the ninja sword in his hand, Kaito focused his gaze on Danzo, his killing intent uncontrollably seeping out.

And Shisui also drew his short sword, his eyes spinning slightly, but his aura was no match for Kaito's.

Shisui's consumption was not light, both of his eyes' Kotoamatsukami had been used in the battle with Obito, naturally, he couldn't compete with a cheat player like Kaito.

However, Kaito was also somewhat curious about how long the cooldown time of Shisui's left eye's Kotoamatsukami really was.

If the cooldown wasn't long, he'd really be delighted to let Shisui use his 'self-obliteration' Kotoamatsukami on Hiruzen Sarutobi!

However, this was just a thought. Shisui probably wouldn't be willing to do that.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Kaito raised an eyebrow. Chakra fluctuations vibrated rapidly, and the next moment, countless Root shinobi clad in black appeared out of nowhere.

They arrived through other passageways using Body Flicker Technique. They quickly surrounded Danzo and effectively blocked Kaito and Shisui's attack path.

But at this very moment, the elite Uchiha ninja also arrived in succession. The atmosphere within this reasonably spacious outer room of the Root base was stifling to the extreme.

"It seems, indeed, we have a score to settle!"

Danzo hid among the crowd, the only way he could feel safe from Kaito's space ninjutsu. He snorted coldly and then loudly commanded!

"Attack, eliminate these rebels!"

At Danzo's command, a portion of the Root ninja swiftly rushed towards Kaito, while another group charged towards Shisui's location.

As for Danzo himself, he quickly left the place after issuing the order. He wouldn't stick around here.

With his command, the entire room erupted into frenzied combat.

In this moderately-sized outer room of the Root base, the thick stench of blood began to permeate wildly.

Such chaotic battles were somewhat advantageous for the Uchiha, after all, those who came were all elites with Sharingan, possessing sharp insight.

But inevitably, the number of Uchihas who came to fight couldn't compare to the Root members. Plus, anyone who could enter the Root had to be relatively strong, even if they were just reserves.

"Do you really think this will trap me?"

While Danzo was heavily guarded and highly focused, it made it likely that Kaito could get himself into trouble if he used his Void Walk to approach.

However, Kaito wasn't without ways to deal with Danzo. And his heart was expansive because he always understood one principle.

That is, peace must be fought for!

This action against the Root was an opportunity served up by Danzo himself. He wanted to use this chance to show the entire Konoha that they were not to be trifled with.

And his goal was to wait for the Root to gather, even wait for the outside people to arrive, and then act directly!

"You're not the Hokage, after all. And don't you know how deeply those major clans despise you?

But now the time is about right. The reserves have arrived, and the Hokage and those who have sensed something wrong are also on their way. I need to speed things up!"

Effortlessly dispatching a Root shinobi who charged at him, while simultaneously evading a pursuing Root shinobi from behind, Kaito glanced upward.

Charging straight ahead would easily cause collateral damage, but that didn't mean he couldn't find another way.

If it had been earlier, he probably wouldn't have had a good solution, but now he possessed the dreadful black flames.

He had the confidence to break through the defenses here, even with the violent output of chakra!

Taking a deep breath, Kaito swiftly swept his ninja blade, directly dispatching a few Root members who intended to ambush him.

Not bothering to see whether they were dead or alive, Kaito leaped into the air, his figure suspended in the sky.

A gleam of azure chakra appeared on his body, tightly protecting Kaito.

His hands swiftly formed seals, as vast chakra surged within him.

Ignoring the multitude of kunai and ninjutsu coming his way, Kaito's gaze locked onto the wall above...

...

"Stay alert. That guy might use space-time ninjutsu. Beware of his sneak attacks."

Having quickly retreated to the outskirts, Danzo Shimura was quietly instructing the crowd around him. The sharp pain in his arm served as a constant reminder of the bizarre nature of Kaito's spatial ability.

He dared not let his guard down for a moment, fearing that Kaito would suddenly appear in front of him and end his life with a single stroke.

Glancing back, he looked at the base of Root under the bright moonlight, where people were now swarming inside.

Although many members of Root were being flung out or leaping out on their own, and even a fair number of Uchiha members were being pushed out, he did not see Kaito or Shisui appear, which allowed him to breathe a sigh of relief.

The defense system of Root's base was well implemented, even better than that of the Anbu, thanks to Danzo's cautious approach.

With such defensive measures, Danzo could relax a bit. At least under such heavy siege, he didn't worry that Kaito could break out so quickly.

"Moreover, the Konoha's ninja have already noticed something's wrong. They're on their way here."

Danzo scanned his surroundings, seeing lights now shining in various places around the Konoha, and even ninja squads hurrying towards them from afar.

With these people coming, even if their first destination was the Hokage Building, he could feel more at ease.

"Uchiha Clan, this night will be your doom! Uchiha Kaito, and Uchiha Shisui, your eyes will be mine!"

Feeling the heart-wrenching pain from his severed arm, Danzo growled in anger from deep within.

"Boom!"

However, at that moment, a violent explosion resounded, the ground shaking crazily. Countless fragments of rock were flung in all directions.

Under the violent shaking, Danzo and his companions were somewhat wobbly, their minds filled with shock. But as they turned their heads, they were all left speechless.

Under the silver moonlight, countless members of Root were frantically retreating from the base.

Above the base, a huge dragon, its body emitting alternating black and white flames, was roaring wildly.

The hot breath swept across the land, a suffocating feeling quietly rose in their hearts.

At that moment, they felt as if they were standing in the midst of purgatory...
