Chapter 573: Konoha Root
In the lab, Su Xiao suddenly opened his eyes. Sitting down, he took out his watch and checked the time.
— I only slept for six hours. How did they know about me, Orochimaru gave me away? But with a shake of his head, Su Xiao pushed Bubtney. "Get up, we have company.
— Woof~, " pushing Su Xiao's hand away with his paws, Bubtny didn't even open his eyes and continued to sleep.
Su Xiao took out something from his inventory, opened Bubtny's mouth, and stuffed it right into his mouth.
Three seconds later...
— Oooh-oooh-oooh! With a howl, Bubtney jerked awake, stuck out his tongue, and rolled his eyes.
Some of the pepper fell out of Bubtney's mouth. It was a piece of Carolina reaper, so the tears that came to Bubtney's eyes were not surprising.
Bubtney looked at Su Xiao with his big teary eyes that seemed to say: "Master, how could you do this to Bubtney, I was sleeping so well, and now I'm so hot...»
— The enemy is on our doorstep.
Bubtney bit his tongue and listened. "Woof," Bubtney snapped, meaning that the enemy was approaching from their left.
— That's not good.
Su Xiao started to walk out of the lab, while Bubtny followed, and suddenly disappeared in an instant.
Bubtney's "You can't see me" skill was indeed very strong.
Su Xiao soon left the laboratory. He didn't really know why, but Orochimaru seemed to enjoy building labs underground.
Not far from the entrance to the lab, an old man was leaning on a wooden crutch.
— Danzo's eyes were closed and his face was expressionless.
— What's the matter? Su Xiao asked as he glanced at Danzo and looked around. There were at least a dozen Root Shinobi hiding around.
Due to his knowledge of the original plot, Su Xiao has some knowledge of Danzo. His speeches were very provocative, however, the essence of the politician could not be changed.
Danzo was like a double-edged sword. If you did well, then he helped and killed the enemies. If you back out and make a mistake, he will try to eliminate you.
Only the second Hokage and the third Hokage could suppress the Danzo, but even during the third Hokage's reign, the Danzo ruled inside while the third Hokage ruled outside.
And as soon as the third Hokage died, Danzo, that venomous snake, revealed his true identity. If Su Xiao was to become the new Hokage of Konoha, then on the day of the third Hokage's death, regardless of the price, he would have killed Danzo, otherwise he would have always endured his endless antics from him.
As long as the third Hokage was still alive, Danzo didn't dare to make major moves and could only occasionally do something that wasn't particularly eye-catching.
And yes, he wanted to become the fourth Hokage after the third Hokage retired.
Despite the fact that he was unable to take the fourth Hokage's place in the end, it was worth admitting that this did not affect him and his aspirations in any way.
Even if he failed and didn't become the fourth Hokage, he would wait for the right moment and try to become the fifth Hokage, and if he failed again, he would end up trying to become the sixth Hokage. A venomous snake hiding in the grass was the perfect description of Danzo.
— An Akatsuki member appeared near Konoha, I saw it as a threat, " Danzo's tone was unhurried, and there was a slight murderous intent in his slightly squinted eye.
— Su Xiao pulled out the Dragon Flash from its scabbard. Everything could not have been better today.
The bright glare of the blade reflected in Danzo's eye. — Give me the first-generation cells and your research results, and I'll spare your life." All of this rightfully belongs to Konoha.
Hearing Danzo's words, Su Xiao was taken aback for a moment, then realized what was going on and looked at Danzo's right hand.
He had previously used similar cells for experiments, and because of them, he was able to detect it. Given the strength of these cells, it wasn't something impossible.
Su Xiao never expected something like this to happen, but fortunately, it wasn't a big problem. He only came here with a dozen people. Of course, the fight will be very difficult, but they will not be able to hold it.
Due to the suppression of the fifth Hokage, Tsunade, Danzo didn't dare to make too conspicuous moves and only brought a dozen people with him.
Su Xiao stepped onto the ground and rushed towards Danzo...
Danzo's pupil narrowed. He had heard of Su Xiao's ability in close combat.
Two figures immediately appeared in front of Danzo and prepared to fight, but Su Xiao, who had been running fast until now, suddenly stopped and raised his left hand.
*Ding~*
The faint thread that was tied to the tree trunk in the distance quickly began to pull Su Xiao back.
— Master Danzo — " the two in front of Danzo looked at him.
Danzo hesitated for a moment, then let go of the wooden cane and pulled his right hand out from under his clothes.
— Stop it and buy me time, I have to get these cells.
— Yes.
They immediately chased after Su Xiao along with those who had been waiting in the forest until now.
Danzo's right arm was wrapped in bandages. Not only with bandages, but also with special seals that suppressed the activity of the cells in his hand. The cells introduced into his body by Orochimaru weren't perfect. If he used them for a long time, Danzo's body would be destroyed.
And because he sensed that Su Xiao had primordial cells, cells that in theory couldn't have such strong negative effects, Danzo immediately decided to come to him.
His subordinates were studying Hashirama's cells, but unfortunately, geniuses like Orochimaru were very rare, and his subordinates obviously couldn't detect anything.
Just as Danzo released the second seal, footsteps rang out in the distance.
— Elder Danzo, why did you use the Root Shinobi without permission?
Danzo immediately froze. No one could see his right hand, otherwise much would be known. At least he couldn't show it if he couldn't silence everyone in the end.
And he obviously couldn't silence the man. If he dares to try to silence the fifth Hokage, Tsunade, then all he can do is desert.
— Protecting Konoha's safety is the Root's responsibility, the fifth Hokage.
— Tsunade laughed lightly and didn't say anything else.
Root was the organization that Tsunade most wanted to destroy. When Konoha was attacked, no one saw the people from the Root, and they only showed up when everything was already back to normal, and they only tried to make the already bad situation worse.
— Where is the enemy and what village is he from? Tsunade's question made Danzo's face change slightly. His first thought was that there was a spy at the Root, but that thought quickly faded from his mind.
— Akatsuki member, Byakuya.
Danzo didn't hide Su Xiao's identity. Tsunade could catch Su Xiao, after all, his target was only the cells and his research.
— Akatsuki member?! Byakuya! The veins on Tsunade's forehead bulged, and her brown eyes widened as pale yellow chakra spilled over the area. — Where. Tsunade said the words slowly.
Danzo was a little surprised by her extremely angry appearance and at the same time a little displeased.
In his opinion, the Hokage should have been indifferent to everything.
Akatsuki killed Jiraiya, but Jiraiya's body was never found. He left behind only a cipher.
It was normal for Tsunade to become so angry. In the end, the Akatsuki member appeared near Konoha too soon — the memory of Jiraiya didn't even have time to cool down.
— But before Danzo could finish, Tsunade's angry eyes looked at him, which made Danzo slightly angry. After saying that, Danzo turned around and walked towards Konoha.
Danzo's eyes were extremely dark.
As soon as Danzo left, the angry expression disappeared from Tsunade's face.
Shizune ran out of the forest with quick steps, accompanied by several Konoha shinobi.
— Tsunade, I searched for the Jongin group, but I only found Kurenai Yuhi's team. The other groups will arrive here within five minutes, and the Anbu have already set off in pursuit.
