Chapter 529: ‘Protect’ Uchiha!

"Hokage-sama!"

Kakashi half-knelt and saluted before reporting.

"The missing Uchiha bodies should be around 700, and it will take time to investigate their specific identities!"

"But the other party's retreat route is a tunnel from the Uchiha clan to the outside of the village!"

"And the other party fled to the south."

...

The ninja's investigation ability is amazing. As long as there are clues, they can naturally find out everything.

Although some people keep covering up the traces, such a big move will definitely leave traces. At most, it will cost their Anbu more time and energy.

"South... huh!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned and muttered to himself.

This direction made him completely confused.

If it was really the castle tower that took action, there would be no reason to leave such obvious traces, right? .

"I will take the Root out immediately and make sure to stop the other party from escaping!"

Danzo was ready to take action without saying much.

Although he was also afraid of the castle tower, as long as he didn't rush into the city to kill people directly, the other party would have nothing to say.

The most important thing is that he has a righteous cause.

Once the other party comes out to stop them, they can just be identified as Konoha traitors and get rid of them together.

(In Danzo's heart, Konoha is invincible!)

"That's right, we must not let Uchiha be abducted, we must 'protect' them back!"

Mitomon Yan also glared at Danzo.

Some things can be done but not said.

Now those Uchiha who escaped are 'victims', they will only protect them, if there are some accidents on the way, it is also normal, but it cannot be said that they prevented them from escaping.

Danzo did not argue with Mitomon Yan, because he knew that what he said was right.

In any case, the village did not and would not participate in the Uchiha civil strife, even if they sent people to chase, it was to protect the other party from being hurt by Uchiha Itachi, an S-level traitor.

Anyway, whether others believe it or not, they believe it.

As for Sarutobi Hiruzen, he remained silent.

This is equivalent to tacitly accepting their decision.

But if it succeeds, it's fine, but if it fails, they will naturally take the blame.

Just like Danzo, who has been blamed countless times.

It is precisely this kind of relationship that allows Danzo to remain safe no matter how big the mistakes he made or how many blames he took.

Soon, Konoha sent out a pursuit force.

Danzo and the Root are the main ones, and the Anbu is the auxiliary, with a total of several hundred people.

Extremely terrifying!

Whether it is the Anbu or the Root, they are all the elite among the elite.

It is a bit exaggerated to say that they can beat ten people.

But if it is said that they can beat a few people of the same level, it is really not a problem for these elites.

In addition, their goal is to kill people, so the task is not difficult.

Yes, for the Root and the Anbu, killing is much simpler than any task.

Ninjas themselves are killing tools, not to mention the Anbu and the Root, which are even more killing machines among ninjas.

There is another advantage, that is, this is the Land of Fire.

Konoha's home court!

Even if it is "that" guy, it is impossible to attack openly.

However, Danzo hoped that the other party would take action, because in that case, all the forces of Konoha could be gathered to solve this thorn in the side.

Well, he had never thought about what would happen if Konoha lost.

In Danzo's heart, Konoha would never lose.

It was just a small castle tower.

Go after him!

Even if the other party had two thousand registered ninjas and had defeated the Daimyo coalition, so what.

I have Konoha in my hands, and I treat it as a piece of chicken and a dog.

It was almost this kind of mood, so Danzo was so stubborn that people didn't know how to complain.

The pursuit process was not smooth.

Because the traces were obviously covered up, they chased in the wrong direction from time to time.

And the other party was very clear about Konoha's methods, and under various arrangements, they even chased in the wrong direction several times.

Fortunately, there were enough people this time, and they could use the "stupid method" to track.

Use people!

Divide the team into small teams and search forward in a carpet-style manner.

Of course, in order to prevent the intelligence from being wrong, Danzo also sent search teams in other directions of Konoha.

After more than a day of tracking, we finally got a clue.

"Let's go!"

Danzo's eyes lit up, and he gathered the team and moved forward at full speed in one direction.

And his actions made some people confused.

"What's going on?", Hyuga Cangyue looked at Danzo's actions and said in confusion: "Haven't we solved those guys? How can Danzo find something wrong?"

Yes, the Uchiha who escaped from Konoha in the Sun Change Plan was just a few dozen kilometers away.

Because the team was too large, and most of them were ordinary Uchiha clan members, they would naturally be discovered by the reconnaissance team.

And the few people mixed in the team could naturally solve this kind of reconnaissance team, and they would not give the other party any chance to warn, so theoretically it would be impossible to be discovered.

"What if Danzo used those reconnaissance teams as bait to determine the location of the target?"

Dou Ping reminded.

In terms of being unhuman, Danzo has always been unhuman.

Using subordinates as cannon fodder and bait is completely basic for him, and it is also the most effective solution.

As for the sacrificed roots and Anbu? .

For the sake of Konoha, let them suffer a little more.

"Should we take action to stop them?"

Hinata Cangyue asked a key question.

If they took action, they could completely stop the other party from chasing.

But that would draw a lot of attention to them.

"Yes, but you must act as a Mist Ninja 'mercenary'. I hope they can catch up!"

Tang Ping gave the answer.

Using the identity of the Shell Organization vest already means that it is possible to take action.

But even so, it cannot attract too much hatred.

Let the mist ninja handle this kind of thing.

Being one of the five great ninja villages, the Kiri ninja also had a deep hatred for Konoha, so it was completely reasonable to target Konoha.

As for their shell organization? .

They just use money to do things, and the grievances of these great ninja villages have nothing to do with them.

And Uchiha Mei?

He has been silent since leaving the village last night.

Maybe she didn't expect that the wealthy Uchiha family, which had been famous since the Warring States Period, would be 'genocide'.

Although she hates him, at the same time, after the other party annihilates his clan, the Nagafusa lineage will become the new "Uchiha wealthy family" in the future.

But it still made her feel extremely complicated.

"Don't worry, under your leadership, Uchiha will only be stronger and greater than before!"

Tangping naturally could see the complicated mood of his fiancée, and turned around to comfort her.

Before they could exchange more words, they noticed that Danzo and the others had slowed down.

On the grass ahead, a team is advancing in an orderly manner.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Anbu and root ninjas wearing masks gathered from various places one after another and came to Danzo.

These people were scattered around for reconnaissance just now, and they rushed back after receiving orders.

Only then can we understand how incredibly mobile the ninja is.

It would take an ordinary person more than half a day to walk the distance, but ninjas wouldn't even need half an hour.

And it's still an 'average speed'. If you only have jounin and the like, and use the teleportation technique regardless of consumption, you can easily catch up in less than a few minutes.

"Go ahead, save the Uchiha from the 'enemies' hiding among them!"

Danzo ordered loudly.

However, his order is very interesting.

The enemy hidden in the Uchiha!

In other words, it is not impossible to kill Uchiha and call him an enemy.

As for how many Uchihas can be 'protected' in the end when they return to the village, that's another matter.

Even if no one is 'saved', it's just a mission failure. This kind of thing is normal, right? .

They were not White Fang and would not allow the mission to fail.

Wonderful!

Danzo is indeed Danzo, and playing these tricks and conspiracies is just instinctive.

Choking!

The sound of a ninja sword being unsheathed was heard.

Bai Mao and Dead Fish Eyes, who were among the ANBU, looked at each other and could only obey the orders silently.

"Do it!"

Danzo ordered lightly.

Whoosh, whoosh!

Figures jumped out one after another and rushed towards the fleeing Uchiha team ahead.

With their strength, it would not take more than a few minutes to solve these goals.

Using the teleportation technique, this distance passed by in an instant. Before the team could react, some speed-type root ninjas had already reached them and raised their ninja swords.

This group of Uchihas, who didn't have much fighting power, were completely at their mercy when faced with this situation.

However, at this critical moment, justice from heaven appeared.
