"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"
A group of Wind Release Ninja jointly unleashed the Wind Release Ninjutsu; this powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu blew everyone away instantly, throwing the squad into chaos!
Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fuu immediately led a group of former Root Ninja to surround them, launching a sudden attack on this squad!
The squad of Double Bloodline Ninja seemed unprepared; just as they regrouped, they realized that the invading enemies had taken the opportunity to rescue Shimura Danzo!
"Lord Danzo!"
Aburame Torune swiftly cut the ropes binding Shimura Danzo's wrists!
"Well done, Torune."
Shimura Danzo flexed his somewhat stiff wrists, reached out to take the cane handed to him by Yamanaka Fuu, and commanded in a deep voice, "Kill all those arrogant bastards."
"Yes!"
Aburame Torune quickly accepted Shimura Danzo's order!
However, the situation wasn't favorable; although Shimura Danzo's subordinates might be elite ninja, they were still far from being opponents of the Double Bloodline Ninja!
"You are defying the Hokage's orders; are you seeking treason?"
The leader of the Double Bloodline Ninja spoke coldly, without hesitation giving the order: "Shimura Danzo is attempting treason, everyone must be killed!"
A group of Double Bloodline Ninja charged like wolves and tigers!
A masked figure's left hand immediately transformed into a vine, binding an enemy, while his right hand grew a wooden spike, piercing the enemy's chest!
"Wood Release: Planting Jutsu!"
The speed of the others was equally relentless!
One of them used Genjutsu to immobilize an enemy instantly, while another quickly planted Wood Release into the enemy's heart!
This group of Double Bloodline Ninja had just entered the battlefield and had already adapted to the carnage, as if they had long been familiar with chaotic battlefields!
Yes.
The fighting experience of these Double Bloodline Ninja was quite rich.
In the restricted Tsukuyomi World provided by Akihara Kagura, this group of Double Bloodline Ninja had accumulated a wealth of combat experience in the Genjutsu world, where their most frequent encounters were undoubtedly the subordinates of Shimura Danzo!
"Torune, Fun, we retreat!"
Shortly after the battle began, Shimura Danzo realized that his subordinates had quickly collapsed, leaving him no choice but to order a retreat, leaving others to cover the rear!
"These guys..."
Shimura Danzo could only flee the battlefield first.
Aburame Torune stayed close to Shimura Danzo, calmly offering his advice: "Let's attack the Hidden Mist Ninja within the fort as Konoha Ninja, using the Hidden Mist Village's people to fight them."
"Alright."
Shimura Danzo felt no psychological burden about doing such a thing.
Whether it was the pursuing Double Bloodline Ninja or the nominal allies of Hidden Mist Ninja, Shimura Danzo had little regard for them, letting them kill each other would be satisfying.
Shimura Danzo glanced back at his subordinates; when he left Konoha, he took hardly any people, and many were killed in that brief encounter.
Others had been left behind to cover the retreat, delaying the Double Bloodline Ninja and preventing Shimura Danzo from being chased by those guys.
At this moment, Shimura Danzo found himself alone with his personal guards Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fuu, feeling an unexpected sense of familiarity.
Actually, Shimura Danzo had changed his subordinates several times; during the first siege of the Akatsuki Organization, all were wiped out, leaving only Danzo to escape alone; when capturing the Kotoamatsukami Sharingan of Uchiha Shisui, a group of Root Ninja also perished due to Shimura Danzo's greed; now, to escape, Shimura Danzo felt like his subordinates would be killed by those Double Bloodline successors...
However...
This time, the situation wasn't that bad.
He still had the personal guards Yamanaka Fuu and Aburame Torune beside him; if Yamanaka Fuu and Aburame Torune were to encounter trouble, Shimura Danzo might indeed have to rely solely on himself.
"Fun, lure out Hidden Mist Village Ninja to fight those guys."
Shimura Danzo planned to use Yamanaka Fuu as bait, then turned to Aburame Torune: "While they're tangled with Hidden Mist Ninja, Torune and I will sneak back to Konoha."
"Yes!"
Yamanaka Fuu disappeared instantly.
"Lord Danzo."
Aburame Torune looked at Shimura Danzo, advising in a low voice: "This time, it was the Hokage aiming to sacrifice Lord Danzo; it might be dangerous for us to return to Konoha…"
"Those guys might trigger a war between Hidden Mist Village and Konoha; if war breaks out, the Hokage might no longer wish to sacrifice Lord Danzo."
"..."
Shimura Danzo immediately fell silent.
This time, Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to push him out as the scapegoat.
If he returned to Konoha with only Aburame Torune, even with Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu willing to help, there might still be no assurance of convincing Sarutobi Hiruzen.
If he didn't want to be sacrificed...
Sarutobi Hiruzen only needed to order Akihara Kagura to take action; Danzo and Aburame Torune definitely couldn't match Akihara Kagura and would have to submit!
At that moment...
Wait, Akihara Kagura?
Shimura Danzo suddenly remembered he held leverage over Akihara Kagura, although Akihara Kagura also held leverage over him...
However...
If mutual checks and balances could be achieved...
Perhaps he could get Akihara Kagura to help him!
"Torune."
Shimura Danzo knew well how to manipulate others, especially proficient in Konoha Village's internal struggles: "Find a way to sneak back to Konoha, meet Akihara Kagura, tell him I want to meet with him, and I'm willing to fully support him to become Hokage!"
"If Akihara Kagura plans to hand you over to Sarutobi Hiruzen, tell him Sarutobi Hiruzen is conducting human experiments in secret; he has already produced a batch of Double Bloodline Ninja with Wood Release and Sharingan, and might not be inclined to make him Hokage!"
"Tell that kid Akihara Kagura, even if he becomes Hokage with Sarutobi Hiruzen's support, he can't control Konoha's power and will ultimately be a puppet manipulated and used by Sarutobi behind the scenes!"
"I can help him overthrow the monkey!"
When Shimura Danzo said this, he tightly gripped his cane, wanting to fortify his resolve: "I can help him truly seize Hokage's power!"
"Yes."
Aburame Torune could only bow his head quickly.
Though he didn't know why Lord Danzo believed Lord Kagura would help him, it seemed this matter might not disadvantage Lord Kagura...
What is this?
A mouse seeking help from the cat it teased?
However...
Aburame Torune didn't think Lord Kagura would help.
Although Lord Danzo could reach this point today, it was all thanks to Lord Kagura's assistance...
Shimura Danzo watched Aburame Torune depart, still somewhat tense inside, placing his hopes on Akihara Kagura because he held leverage over Akihara Kagura.
Shimura Danzo still hadn't considered defection, only hoping to return to Konoha, taking a deep breath: "Monkey, you're pushing me to the brink, don't blame me for dragging you down with me..."
On the other side.
Yamanaka Fuu also met Danzo's expectations.
Yamanaka Fuu knew those Double Bloodline Ninja were his own allies, so he simply went over to inform them to follow the plan to attack the Hidden Mist Ninja camp.
"We understand."
The group of Double Bloodline Ninja immediately agreed.
The White Zetsu Ah was lurking underground and emerged, taking on the form of Shimura Danzo, even holding a cane just like him.
"Cough, cough, cough, cough..."
White Zetsu Ah stood among the group, coughed a few times, and continued: "From now on, your time impersonating Sarutobi Hiruzen's men has ended; now you must impersonate Shimura Danzo's men, always remember your identities..."
"Yes."
Twelve Uchiha could only nod.
