Chapter 362 Ambush

On the other side, at the same time that Seiji was fighting Uchiha Madara, Otsutsuki Tenshin and his group also entered the ambush site prepared by Shimura Danzo.

Due to Kiyoshi's departure, after discussion, the people of Kirigakure no longer wanted to continue to travel slowly in the Land of Fire and enjoy the scenery along the way. Instead, they quickened their pace and wanted to return to the village as quickly as possible. After all, they had been away from the village for a long time...!

.........

In a valley about a hundred kilometers away from Konoha Village, Danzo Shimura, with all his Root assets, is ready for battle, ready to go...!

This is the most convenient route from Konoha Village to the eastern coast of the Land of Fire. It is also the only way for the people of the Hidden Mist Village to return to the port from which they came. After all, they entered the Land of Fire through formal official channels, and the ship they took when they came here is still at the port. Therefore, they will of course choose to return by the same route.

Not to mention, neither Qingsi nor the others had ever thought that someone would attack them in the Land of Fire at this time!

But the brain circuit of Danzo Shimura is different from that of ordinary ninjas...!

Therefore, Danzo Shimura, who had always wanted to replace Sarutobi Hiruzen as the Hokage and then lead Konoha Village to unify the ninja world, out of his desire and covetousness for the power of the Rinnegan and the ability to kill three birds with one stone by retrieving the Byakugan and the Uzumaki clan at the same time, finally decided that this place would be the location for his planned siege of the people from the Hidden Mist Village...!

He, the assistant of the Hokage, the leader of the Root, the first generation Nabekage Shimura Danzo, known as the "Darkness of Ninja", for the sake of Konoha and the peace of the Ninja world, will wipe out the Byakugan, the Uzumaki clan, and the most important Samsara Eye in one fell swoop!!!

-----------------

Because they never thought that someone would attack them at this time and place, the people from Kirigakure did not deliberately extend their perception too far as they moved along, so they did not discover in advance that Danzo Shimura and his Root subordinates had been lying in ambush in front of them for a long time.

However, in front of the valley, Otsutsuki Tenshin, Uzumaki Kana, and Nagato all slowed down their pace at the same time.

They all felt an extremely strong sense of disharmony at this moment. Everything around them was too quiet, even to the point of being completely unreasonable!

As ninjas with powerful perception abilities, the three were very sensitive to this. Moreover, they also clearly remembered that when Minato Namikaze led them through here to Konoha Village, the valley was very "lively".

And now, the valley ahead is completely silent, as if shrouded by an invisible layer of tranquility. There is no rustling of wind through leaves, and no clear and melodious singing of birds. All there is is the depressing deathly silence...!

So, Otsutsuki Tenshin made a gesture signal to stop moving forward, veins quietly emerged beside his eye sockets, and he opened his Byakugan. At the same time, Nagato on the side spread his perception to the sides and depths of the valley, while Uzumaki Kana closed her eyes and opened her "Kagura Heart's Eye"...!

However, just as Otsutsuki Tenshin, Uzumaki Kana, and Nagato suddenly changed their expressions and were about to open their mouths to warn, a cold and gloomy shout came from the side of the valley, "Do it!!!"

Knowing that the other party had noticed something was wrong, Shimura Danzo decisively gave the order to take action...!

So, all of a sudden, a large number of Root ninjas emerged from both sides and the depths of the valley. All of a sudden, countless kunai, shurikens and all kinds of strange ninja tools were shot towards the Kirigakure people, and mixed in with them were a large number of detonating tags...!

The first wave of attacks from Shimura Danzo and his Roots is coming!!!

.........

The faces of the people in Kirigakure turned grim. They really didn't expect that Konoha would dare to attack them within the borders of the Land of Fire. Was the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen crazy?

However, when they saw that the leader was their "old friend" Danzo Shimura from the Hidden Mist Village, they immediately showed a look of realization.

After all, they had all carried out the missions entrusted to them by Shimura Danzo in the Hidden Mist Village, so they had a relatively good understanding of who Shimura Danzo was.

Therefore, it is likely that Danzo Shimura is acting in private again without the knowledge of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen!

Then, don’t blame us from the Hidden Mist Village for being ruthless...!

Thoughts raced through the minds of the Kirigakure people, and they understood everything in an instant.

Then, their eyes seemed to be suddenly filled with burning rage. Their eyes that were originally calm as water suddenly became as deep and dark as the abyss. Endless murderous aura was like a surging wave, erupting towards Danzo Shimura and his root one after another...!

Since Danzo Shimura dares to attack them with his Root, let them all die!

Today! Let Konoha no longer have any roots!!!

.........

Otsutsuki Tenshin flashed and stepped forward quickly like a ghost, with azure chakra continuously emanating from his body. At the same time, a voice full of murderous intent rang in the ears of the others, "Freedom to act!!! Quick victory!!!"

"Gossip, back to heaven!!!"

Otsutsuki Tenshin took a deep breath, and immediately, the chakra that surged out of his body and surrounded his body began to rhythmically move like a surging tide. At the same time, his body began to spin rapidly. As Otsutsuki Tenshin's body spun rapidly, in the blink of an eye, an incomparably huge hemispherical chakra shield was formed...!

Countless fierce attacks poured down like a rainstorm, but when they hit the huge hemispherical chakra shield, it was like encountering an insurmountable wall of steel and were ruthlessly bounced back.

For a moment, sparks flew and the roar of detonating tags was endless. However, although this first wave of attacks from the Root seemed extremely powerful, in the end no attack could break through the solid defense created by Otsutsuki Tenshin...!
