Murder

Kuro gripped the hilt of his sword with his right hand.

He has to attack quickly and leave just as fast as there are hidden guards outside the room.

"Sigh…" Danzo sighed and opened his eye.

'Now!' *Swoosh!*

.

.

The guards stationed outside the room suddenly felt a tingle on the back of their tongues.

They immediately understood what it meant. "Danzo-sama!"

Five people appeared in front of the door, however, they could not go further.

*BOOM!* A huge explosion occurred in the room, causing a column of fire to destroy the door and sweep away the five guards.

The entire base shook due to the explosion and the sound spread through the tunnels, causing the people already heading there to speed up.

After a moment, the first person arrived and watched as the fire blackened the walls of the nearby tunnels, as well as the charred corpses of the guards.

The masked man only looked for a moment before rushing into the room.

"Danzo-sama!" He called just as he entered, however the room was completely empty.

There was no sign of Danzo. Not even the desk and some other decorations managed to survive the explosion.

The room was completely blackened and full of cracks.

***Tak*** Other masked men appeared outside the room. "Lish Foo, what happened? What happened to Danzo-sama?"

Lish shook his head. "I don't know. I just arrived, however, I think we should inform the Elders. The seal has disappeared, that means Danzo-sama has died."

Kuro was in the Land of Rivers hideout.

On the stone table in front of him was the corpse of Danzo, beheaded and with his right arm amputated.

After making the slash, Kuro stored Danzo's head even before it could be separated from his body, at the same time throwing a ball of Explosive Tags that he modified to make them more powerful.

Immediately afterwards, he touched the corpse's back and teleported to the hideout.

Kuro had already removed and stored all of the Sharingan that Danzo possessed. He also dismissed the little kitten and summoned Shiori.

They were both at a small table, with Danzo's right arm on top.

Shiori jumped on the table and looked at the arm, "Hm… half will be enough."

Kuro nodded and cut the arm in two. He grabbed the half that wasn't in his hand and brought it close to the blue fire at Shiori's ears.

When they made contact, the fire began to consume half of the arm at a fairly rapid rate and kept increasing.

Soon, the fire consumed it completely. "Sigh…" Shiori sighed wearily and yawned. "It should work soon."

Kuro nodded, "Thanks, I know it's quite tiring for you." He stroked the cat's head.

She purred and closed her eyes. "I'm a princess…" Shiori pressed her head against his hand. "I have energy to spare..."

*Crackle* Suddenly, the fire in her ears flailed wildly.

Kuro stopped, "It's working right?"

Shiori straightened up and nodded, "Yes. Try moving the arm away a bit."

He grabbed the other half of the arm and backed away until he reached the wall of the room.

Although the fire continued to stir, the intensity had decreased slightly.

Kuro approached again and Shiori spoke, "For now, only fire will have a reaction. In the future, I will be able to sense it on my own, just as I do with Nature Energy." *Poof!* She disappeared after saying that.

'It seems like it was a lot for her…' Kuro thought before storing the rest of Danzo's arm.

As for what Shiori was referring to, it was simple; The blue fire will react as long as Hashirama's cells are at a certain distance from her.

Kuro approached Danzo's body, which had all the wounds frozen, and stored it.

The Elders, Commander Anbu, Shikaku Nara, and Asuma Sarutobi had just met in one of the rooms of the Hokage Building.

There was a tension in the air that prevented anyone from asking the reason for the sudden summons from the elders.

Koharu was the one who spoke first. "Before I tell you anything, I want to warn you that this information cannot leave this room." The seriousness of the people increased even more and not only because of Koharu's words, but also because of the sweat on the foreheads of the two elders, "Danzo is dead."

"""What!?""" The three of them were shocked, with Shikaku being the fastest to recover. "How did it happen!?"

"Did… it happen during the invasion?" Commander Anbu asked after remembering not having seen him since the attack.

Homura shook his head. "He was killed today. Almost an hour ago to be specific."

"Today? Does it have something to do with Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Hoshigaki?" Shikaku questioned.

"That's what we called Asuma here for." Koharu looked at him, "Asuma, was there a third person next to Itachi and Kisame?"

He bit down on his unlit cigarette. "No, we just fought the two of them. However, when we found them, they were at Dango's Shop and there was a third cup of tea. Kurenai asked the owner when we were bringing Kakashi back and they told her that a masked man was with the duo. "

She nodded. "So, for now, the prime suspect is that third person."

Asuma leaned back in the chair. "It also matches the flashy technique used by Kisame. They were probably the distraction, though, from what Kakashi said, they were also behind Naruto Uzumaki."

The room was silent for a moment until Commander Anbu spoke, "Where exactly was he killed? And what about the corpse?"

Koharu and Homura hesitated.

Shikaku narrowed his eyes, "What is it?"

Homura closed his eyes and spoke, "He was killed at the Root base. As for his corpse, there are none."

"Root?" Shikaku looked at the two elders, "I thought it was disbanded after what happened to the Uchiha Clan."

Homura nodded. "It was, and we believed that too. Apparently, Danzo continued operations clandestinely."

"Hm…" Shikaku hummed, "What about the corpse? How come there aren't any?"

"There was a powerful explosion in the room he was in. Everything inside was reduced to nothing and even five high-ranking Shinobi died from the collateral damage. Investigations are continuing, however, we assume that nothing was left of his body afterwards of the explosion. " Koharu had some tea after speaking.

Everyone fell silent after hearing that.

Homura looked at Commander Anbu. "We need you to send someone to deliver a message to Jiraiya. Tell him to stop his search for Tsunade in case it is going to take too long, and to return to the Village to be named Fifth Hokage as planned from the beginning. "

The Commander stood up. "Some information about his location?"

"Shukuba Town." Asuma looked at the elders. "Sasuke Uchiha found out about Itachi's return and that his target is Naruto. He quickly went looking for them and Guy followed him, informing us about the town when he got the information."

They nodded and the Commander disappeared.

Koharu looked at Shikaku, "We also need to talk about what will happen to the Root members."

He sighed and rubbed his forehead, "Well, I think I may have an idea."
