The Power That Everyone Dreams Of!

·Chapter 57: The Power That Everyone Dreams Of!Jun 27(A/N 2000+ words)

The way to deal with Shimura Danzō is simple.

Although the other party is an advisor, he has always been hidden in the shadows. Except for a few senior officials, many people don't know much about Danzō.

So,Takuya decided to help Danzō improve his "fame" first.

Then,the next day,

There was an additional article in the newspaper published by the Village Newspaper Company.

"The Darkness of Shinobi: The Darkness Hidden Behind the Light!"

The article provided a preliminary introduction to Danzō.

Danzō, the leader of the Shimura clan.

Disciple of the Second Leader, former teammate of the Third Hokage.

Currently serving as the village's advisor.

Controls the organization responsible for assassinations, espionage, interrogation, and other activities—Root!

Because he has always been hidden in the darkness, he is also called the "Darkness of Shinobi."

Besides,

Takuya also thoughtfully attached a photo of Danzō.

After the newspaper was published, many villagers learned about it.

It turns out,

There is such a high-level person in the village.

Of course, Takuya definitely did not do this to promote Danzō.

Although the article did not mention any scandals about Danzō, just some guiding hints in the words were enough to give the villagers a bad impression of this advisor whom they had never heard of.

"Let's read today's newspaper. It turns out we have such an advisor in the village."

"Ninja no Yami... this name doesn't sound like a good person."

"That's right, look at the photo in the newspaper. He looks like a ruthless person."

"No wonder no one dares to offend the ninjas of the Shimura clan who are so arrogant and domineering. It turns out there is such a clan leader behind them."

The villagers discussed the contents of the newspapers with each other.

Just as Takuya expected, his specially polished article coupled with the "carefully" selected photo...

Almost all the villagers in the village subconsciously concluded that Danzō was not a good person.

For the next period of time, Takuya would publish an article about Danzō in the newspaper every day.

Initially,

It's the little things that are dispensable.

Slowly,

Started to reveal some dark stuff.

Until the end,

Brainwashing orphans who lost their parents in the war, persecuting ninjas from the same village, secretly conducting human experiments...

Takuya also published some information obtained from the "Root" experimental base last time in the newspaper.

It truly had pictures and truth.

A series of heinous crimes were revealed.

Danzō,

Had completely become a street rat that everyone shouted to beat.

"Asshole! Why do we have such a borer in the village?"

"This really pisses me off. How does a guy like Danzō deserve to be an advisor?"

"The Darkness of Shinobi... is completely a lunatic who will do whatever it takes to achieve his own goals!"

"The village our ninjas sacrificed their lives to protect will never be allowed to be destroyed by such bastards!"

"That's right, bring guys like Danzō to justice!"

The villagers were all outraged and demanded that Danzō be executed.

People who have never seen darkness tend to have a lower tolerance for darkness.

In the hearts of most villagers, the village is bright and beautiful.

It is precisely because of this that they are even more resentful towards people like Danzō.

Absolutely cannot tolerate such moths!

The Hokage Building.

The Hokage office.

"Hiruzen, it's over now."

"That bastard Takuya, he slandered me!"

Danzō roared angrily.

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, he went from a respected advisor to a street rat that everyone yelled at.

This was unacceptable to Danzō, who wanted to become the Hokage.

"Defamation?"

"It would be nice if it was really slander."

"Which of these things is not a good thing you did?!"

Hiruzen threw the newspaper in his hand in front of Danzō and said angrily.

"So what are we going to do now?"

"You are the Hokage. If you can't do it, ban the newspaper."

Danzō suggested.

"You think I haven't thought about it?"

"Takuya doesn't listen to my orders at all."

"Even some concerns about the closure of newspapers were faintly written in the newspapers.

"Now the villagers are very dissatisfied with me."

Hiruzen sighed.

He felt that if he continued like this, the image he had worked hard to maintain all his life would completely collapse.

"Danzo..."

"This time, we lost."

After hearing Hiruzen's words, Danzō also sighed helplessly.

He also tried sending people to spread gossip, hoping to change his reputation.

But,

The person who was sent out had just said a few nice words about him when he was severely injured by the indignant villagers and was thrown directly at the door of the Police Force.

His methods no longer worked.

"Danzo, tomorrow I will define you as a rogue ninja."

"You can go back and figure it out yourself."

After Hiruzen was silent for a while, his eyes gradually became firm.

By now,

He could only give up his former companion.

Danzō didn't say anything, turned, and left the Hokage's Building.

With one last look at the rock carvings of the leaders through the ages, Danzō returned to his Root base.

"Call all the members back and prepare to leave the village!"

At the base, Danzō said coldly.

He understood what Hiruzen meant.

Tonight is his last chance to survive.

It wasn't until late at night that the ninjas at the Root were gathered and all the important information was packed away.

Everyone was on standby, waiting for Danzō's order.

"Let's go."

"Act as a team and gather thousands of miles north of the village."

Danzō looked at the base of the Root, his eyes full of nostalgia.

This time,

There was little hope of him coming back.

His Hokage dream was completely shattered.

 Danzō's eyes were filled with hatred.

 Takuya,

Wait, then.

Sooner or later, he would lead his people back to Konoha.

Take back everything that originally belonged to him!

Under the night,

 Danzō led the members of the Root to sneak out of Konoha quietly.

Since Anbu had already received the signal from Hiruzen, the Root's escape went very smoothly.

Outside Konoha Village,

 Danzō looked at the nearly a hundred Root ninjas with mixed feelings in his heart.

He lost everything.

But at least,

He still had so many followers.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Sooner or later, he would come back for revenge.

"Walk!"

After looking at the sky, Danzō gave a low order.

Nearly a hundred ninjas quietly disappeared into the darkness.

"Danzo-sama, at the rate we are going, we will be able to escape from Konoha's borders in no time."

A Root ninja reported.

 Danzō nodded silently.

He planned to go to the Land of Rain first.

It is located at the junction of Konoha, Iwagakure, and Sunagakure, and is in a state of chaos all year round.

Moreover,

He also had some friendship with Hanzō of the Salamander, the leader of Amegakure.

It's perfect to go there as a temporary base.

Just as Danzō was calculating silently, the ninja in front suddenly stopped.

"Who?!"

The Root ninja in front exclaimed and immediately drew out his long knife and slashed forward.

But the next second,

His body was like a kite with its string broken, flying back quickly.

Poof!

The ninja of the Root spat out a mouthful of blood and immediately lost his life.

Seeing this scene, the remaining Root ninjas immediately surrounded Danzō.

"Danzo, you're finally here."

" Takuya?!"

Looking at Takuya who was yawning and leaning on the tree trunk, Danzō's eyes were cold.

"Danzo, it's so late, where do you want to go?"

 Takuya said calmly.

"Where I go is none of your business."

 Danzō snorted and glanced around.

"No need to look, it's just me."

 Takuya chuckled.

"Senju brat, you are so arrogant."

"It seems that the rise of the Senju clan ends here."

After confirming that Takuya was the only one around, Danzō smiled.

He escaped today and brought out all the elite ninjas from his Root.

These,Were the most elite ninja in his hands since he took power in Konoha.

There were more than a dozen Elite Jōnin alone.

The worst of the rest were also Tokubetsu Jōnin.

In addition, these ninjas had trained together for many years and had a tacit understanding with each other.

Even if Takuya once defeated Jiraiya, he was confident of killing him.

"Kid, I have nearly a hundred elite ninjas here. If you get beaten up later, don't blame me for not practicing martial ethics."

"After all... you are a strong man who defeated Jiraiya."

 Danzō snorted.

Subsequently,

Nearly a hundred elite ninjas surrounded Takuya.

"I don't blame you."

"Because...you are the one being beaten."

After Takuya finished speaking, he formed a seal with his hands.

Countless Wood Clones emerged from the ground.

Looking around, there must be nearly a thousand of them.

"Danzo, don't blame me for not practicing martial ethics."

"After all...you are Konoha's Hokage advisor."

Nearly a thousand Wood Clones, ten times the number, surrounded Shimura Danzō and the Root ninjas.

"Asshole!"

Seeing this scene, Danzō was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

This guy,

How come you have so much Chakra?

"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"

Takuya clapped his hands, and his chakra surged wildly. In an instant, countless trees burst from the ground, trapping Danzō and all the Root ninjas.

"Be careful, it's Wood Style!"

The Root ninjas exclaimed and struggled against the incoming trees. However, the trees created by Wood Style were extremely hard and could absorb the enemy's chakra to enhance their own strength. In moments, dozens of Root ninjas were entangled by thick vines. They tried to break free, but the rapid loss of chakra left them powerless.

Within minutes, only the Elite Jōnin remained free from the Wood Style's grip.

"Damn it!"

"How can Wood Style be so powerful?"

Danzō roared angrily, struggling within the tree world. Despite his understanding of Wood Style, the power Takuya displayed far exceeded his expectations. Facing nearly a hundred elite ninjas, it should have been easy to destroy a small ninja village. Yet, against Takuya, they were powerless.

"It's manageable."

"Wood Style: Advent of a World of Flowering Trees!"

Takuya injected more chakra, causing the trees to sprout enormous flowers. In moments, these flowers bloomed, releasing clouds of pollen.

"No, this pollen is poisonous!"

An elite ninja, upon inhaling the pollen, immediately felt dizzy and collapsed unconscious. Seeing this, the other ninjas held their breath and tried to escape. However, the tree world was fully formed, and any gap they created was quickly sealed by new tree trunks.

"Fire Style: Majestic Destroyer Flame!"

Takuya leapt into the air and formed a seal. A massive fireball, like a meteorite, ignited the entire tree world.

Boom!

With an explosion, the anguished screams of the Root ninjas echoed through the forest. After a short while, the screams ceased.

Nearly a hundred elite ninjas were annihilated without suspense.

"Die!"

A sharp shout came from behind. Takuya turned and saw Danzō attacking him with a kunai.

"Susanoo!"

The image of the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan appeared in Takuya's eyes, and a cold, powerful chakra enveloped him. Instantly, dark black skeletal armor formed around him.

Danzō's kunai shattered against Susanoo's armor without leaving a scratch.

Boom!

Susanoo's fist slammed Danzō to the ground.

"Izanagi?"

Seeing Danzō resurrect, Takuya muttered. It seemed Danzō had collected some Sharingan despite the clan's survival.

"Susanoo… Mangekyō Sharingan… How do you have this power?!"

Danzō, using Izanagi to avoid death, exclaimed in horror. How could Takuya possess both Wood Style and Mangekyō Sharingan?

"Although I can tell you, I think it's better to let you die with doubts," Takuya sneered.

"Damn you! This power should be mine! The clans should not exist! I'll kill you all!"

Danzō, driven mad by Takuya's power, attacked recklessly. He dreamed of such power and now wanted to seize Takuya's body to become the Hokage.

"Snort!"

Facing the crazed Danzō, Takuya showed no mercy.

After killing Danzō five times, Danzō's chakra was exhausted. Takuya removed the bandages on Danzō's arm, finding the Sharingan embedded there all used up.

After taking some incriminating photos, Takuya incinerated Danzō's body.

From now on, Danzō and his Root would forever be a stain on the village's history.

Cleaning up the scene, Takuya walked back to the village.

With Danzō eliminated, next would be Hiruzen's turn.
