Lying is bad

Now that he had dealt with Minato and Jiraiya's matter, Araki dismissed them and requested for some Uzumaki Clan members.

After meeting up with the Uzumaki Clan members, he followed them to the underground location where they had kept the Root Shinobis. Well, they were all dead now.

Upon seeing that all the Danzo's Root Shinobi had died, Araki felt a sense of emptiness, "This is really sad. Every day, I would hear their shouts and screams while they were in this chakra suppression cage. I even handed them Special Pills to not die of hunger, but it seems that this has come to an end."

"What do you all say, should I capture some more of Danzo's men?" Araki asked them with a light tone.

The other Uzumaki Clan Members shivered a little. Although their screams and shouts were music for Araki's ears, the same could not be said for the Uzumaki Clan Members.

"Umm… Isn't this enough, Clan Head?" One of these Uzumaki Clan Members said to Araki.

Araki though shook his head and replied, "Maybe I should end this whole farce..."

With that, he went closer and sealed their bodies in a scroll. Since they were corpses now and were classified as non-living, they could easily be sealed in scrolls.

After that, he left the Clan Manor.

Currently, he was going towards the latest hideout of Danzo. He really wanted to give Danzo a medal of stupidity. Did he really think that Araki wouldn't be able to sense underground?

Meanwhile, since it had been a month, Danzo had naturally declared his missing shinobi as dead. With the seal on their tongues, he knew they wouldn't be able to say anything about his organization, so it didn't matter.

Their loss was quite substantial, but they needed to move on now. Konoha was going to be involved in a war after all.

However, at this time, he heard the screams of his Shinobi stationed outside the underground cave. These shinobi were hiding in the trees and planned to strike anyone who approached the cave.

Yet, they never expected that the trees on which they were standing would suddenly stab them!

A few of them even considered it to be a Genjutsu and tried to dispel it. But soon enough, they realised it was no Genjutsu. This was a reality!

And they knew only one man in Konoha could control trees…

Although they had been given the training to become emotionless tools, they couldn't help but gulp down in fear.

At that moment, they felt another unbearable pain when the tree branches started moving and pulling out their intestines!

Araki was casually walking towards the cave while he kept on controlling the trees mentally.

Meanwhile, Danzo was coming out of his cave with a lot of his shinobi behind him.

Except for Danzo, everyone else's eyes widened in shock when they noticed it was Senju Araki.

Perhaps only Danzo could retain his calmness at this moment, and he asked, "Why have you come here, boy?"

"Why, huh? That's an interesting question. Well, I guess I should return this to you first." He pulled out a scroll and sent his chakra.

Instantly, several hundreds of heads… appeared in front of Danzo. These… These were the heads of his Root Shinobi who had gone missing.

Although he had declared them dead, he had still kept a small team to search for them. This was half of his Root ANBU Force which he had created while keeping it hidden from that old fool's eyes.

"What did you gain by killing them?" Danzo asked while staring at Araki. The reason he asked this question was that he wanted to imply that his subordinates couldn't even speak anything about him or the Root organization. This meant that even if Araki captured them for extracting information, it was all useless.

But… Araki chuckled at that question, confusing Danzo. Araki said with a smile, "Some music, satisfaction, and, it's really pleasing to see you so angered Danzo."

"You think that this affects me? How naïve." Danzo says to Araki while keeping a calm face.

"Aww... You don't have to hide it in your heart. I know how much it does affect you. I can practically feel your heart burning with fury. Do you know why I have personally come here? I was wondering if you really do dare to attack me or not." Araki asked Danzo with a grin on his face. He even started to walk forward.

"You can't rile me up with this…" He couldn't help but back away a step when he noticed that Araki showed no signs of stopping.

Even after he backed away, Araki still stepped forwards until he was standing right in front of him. There was only an arm's difference between them.

The Shinobi around Danzo didn't move, they were waiting for his order.

"Hmm…" Araki then said, "You know Danzo, I met Orochimaru and heard some interesting information from him. Like how you both have been experimenting on Uzumaki Clan Member's bodies…"

"He is lying-" Just as Danzo was about to finish speaking, he was given an uppercut so strongly that a few of his teeth fell out of his mouth and he was thrown far away. It was so sudden that Danzo couldn't even guard against that attack.

"Welp… with that lie, you have pretty much sentenced yourself to death. My patience has ended, Danzo." Araki said while releasing a tremendous amount of Killing Intent.

Just as Danzo was about to order his shinobi to attack Araki, he noticed they had all been bound by thick wood wines. All of them were resisting bitterly, but they couldn't get out of those vines. Moreover, the vines were absorbing their chakra…

Moreover, as Danzo tried to move, he found that a wooden vine from underground had struck his thigh. He felt as if it was sucking his blood, his vitality, and his chakra.

"Do you like this? This Is my own creation. I can not only suppress the chakra in your body but also absorb your blood, chakra, and vitality. Don't you feel as if your life-force is slipping rapidly?" Araki asked Danzo with a grin.

Sure enough, Danzo was feeling as if he was ageing rapidly. In a few more minutes, his body would age another year. Along with age, a sense of sluggishness was felt in his body.

It was like he hadn't trained for a long time.

Even Danzo started to panic when he experienced this feeling. And while he was panicking, he didn't see Araki moving forward.

Araki kicked Danzo's head as if it was football (or soccer). This time, his remaining teeth broke when Araki's kick made contact with his head.

When Danzo looked up and stared at Araki, he saw an icy gaze in Araki's eyes, "If you think you will get an easy death, then you are dead wrong."

He kicked Danzo's body again. And this time, he didn't stop. He continued to kick his whole body so many times that if someone were to count it, the number would surpass 100 in a matter of minutes.

However, it was surprising that even after such a beating, Danzo remained alive. The Wood Vine which had stabbed Danzo started injecting him with a strong life-force which had been stolen from him earlier.

And soon enough, Danzo's wounds started healing. They were healing at such a rate that even Tsunade herself would have been dumbfounded.

Danzo was surprised at why Araki was healing his wounds. Was Araki planning on letting him off?

However, he soon realised just how wrong he was.
