Chapter 456: Pain's Six Paths Appear
"Tezuka, go in and inform Hanzo, and tell him that I, Danzo, and the fourth Hokage of Konoha are here."
"Yes, Danzo-sama."
The ninjas of the root have always obeyed Danzo's orders.
This ninja of the root named Tezuka, after hearing Danzo's order, did not intend to ask Namikaze Minato at all. After responding, he wanted to enter the Hidden Rain Village first.
Namikaze Minato did not care about Tezuka's behavior. He just didn't want to do useless work. After all, Hanzo had been killed by Nagato a long time ago.
This person is dead, and he still went in to inform a ghost.
So he immediately said: "Wait a minute."
"Hokage, do you have any doubts about my order?"
Danzo's tone was still respectful, but his expression was a little sarcastic.
Minato shook his head and replied: "No, I just want to say that Hanzo is dead, and there is no point in letting someone in."
"What? Hanzo is dead? Impossible."
Hearing that Hanzo was dead, Danzo was very surprised.
It is true that Hanzo at this time was no longer a demigod in the ninja world due to his age and other issues.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Hanzo's strength is still among the top in the ninja world.
The death of such a person is not a trivial matter.
Why didn't he, Danzo, receive even a tip of the news, but Minato Namikaze, whom he looked down on, knew it first, which made him very angry.
"Tezuka, didn't you hear my order? Why don't you go quickly? I want to see if Hanzo is really dead."
"Yes."
This time Tezuka did not hesitate and used the instant body technique to quickly enter the Hidden Rain Village.
In response, Minato just shrugged helplessly and did not stop him again.
Looking at Tezuka's departing back, Minato sighed and said softly: "What a pity."
"What a pity?"
"Nothing, I'm just sighing, he could have saved his life, but he chose to die."
This sentence made Danzo a little confused.
Even if Hanzo is really dead, with Tezuka's background as a Konoha ninja, even if he is discovered, he will at most be captured.
He Danzo really doesn't believe that a mere ninja from the Hidden Rain Village dares to kill his people.
"Fourth generation, I don't know where you got your conclusion, but you give me a different feeling now than usual."
"Really? In fact, I have always been a person who is consistent inside and outside."
"."
Looking at Minato with a sunny smile, Danzo was silent.
You, the fourth generation, are a person who is consistent inside and outside, am I not Danzo?
Well, it seems that it is not true.
At this moment, Danzo suddenly felt that Minato was really different.
At least, he dared to be weird in front of him.
But then again, Minato is the Hokage, and he is just a leader of the Root. Even if he is weirded by Minato, he can't get angry at him.
If he fights, he may not be able to beat him. If he is more serious, he can also say that he is committing a crime.
If he talks, he may not be able to win.
This is really uncomfortable.
Danzo decided to ignore Minato and complete the task first.
The rain was falling, and Minato and others stood quietly outside the Hidden Rain Village, waiting for someone to come.
Danzo was waiting for Tezuka.
And Minato was waiting for Nagato.
Seeing the rain getting heavier, Minato was a little distracted, thinking whether he should take shelter from the rain first.
Fortunately, they didn't wait too long. A few minutes later, a figure came from the front.
Because the rain was heavy, they didn't see who the person was at the first time.
When they got closer, Minato smiled and said, "Here he comes."
That's right, the person who came was Tiandao from Pain's Six Paths.
Tiandao not only came, but also held a "gift" in his hand.
"This is your thing, I'll give it back to you."
Tiandao threw the "gift" in his hand to Danzo.
After receiving it, Danzo became extremely angry.
Because this "gift" was Tezuka's head.
"Asshole, who allowed you to attack our Konoha ninjas?"
The angry Danzo waved his hand, and several Root members behind him started to attack Tendō without saying a word.
"Water Style: Water Dragon Bullet Technique"
"Wind Style: Wind Blade Cut"
"Kunai Control Technique"
"."
The Root Ninjas' attacks were varied, some used ninjutsu, some used hidden weapons such as kunai, and some chose close combat.
Although it looked a bit messy, they cooperated very well.
"Idiot from the Hidden Rain Village, go to hell and repent."
Just when Danzo thought that Tendō would die under the attack of the Root Ninjas, Tendō slowly opened his right hand forward and whispered: "Shinra Tensei."
An invisible repulsive force appeared, instantly dissolving the Root Ninjas and their attacks.
The Root Ninjas who were blown away by the repulsive force wanted to continue attacking, but unfortunately, the other five Pains appeared behind them and were slaughtered in the blink of an eye.
"What?"
Faced with such a result, Danzo was obviously a little bit unacceptable.
From his perspective, the six enemies in front of him were quite strong, especially Tendou who was in the middle. Even he couldn't understand the inexplicable repulsion.
"Fourth-generation, the situation is a bit wrong. I think it's better to retreat first."
After saying that, Danzo didn't care about Minato's reaction at all, and turned around and wanted to leave.
"Elder Danzo, since you are here, don't rush to leave."
Danzo wanted to run away, but Minato grabbed his hand and prevented him from slipping away.
"Minato, you."
At this moment, Danzo somewhat figured it out.
Why was he not allowed to communicate with Hanzo in advance when he was tasked with wiping out a small organization in the Country of Rain?
Why did Minato know the news about Hanzo's death before him?
Why was Minato's attitude different from usual just now.
Why did the Hokage need to be dispatched for just a small mission?
There are various indications that the main purpose of this mission is not to destroy the ninja organization of the Land of Rain, but Danzo Shimura.
"Does Hiruzen dislike me and want to get rid of me?"
"Elder Danzo, you can't blame the Third Generation. This is the decision of all of us."
"I see, are there still Yan and Xiaochun?"
He knew that Danzo had misunderstood, but Minato didn't explain too much. It would be a waste of words to tell him anyway.
"The Yondaime Hokage? Tell me the purpose of your coming here."
Because of Minato's delay, Pain's Six Paths immediately surrounded them, but did not take action.
Obviously Nagato also knew that he couldn't stop the Fourth Hokage who could fly the Thunder God.
"Nagato, right? Speaking of which, I am also a disciple of Master Jiraiya. You should call me senior brother."
Tiandao nodded when he heard this and said indifferently: "I see, but it doesn't make much sense."
"Why is it meaningless? With Jiraiya-sensei's relationship, we don't necessarily need to go to the point of fighting each other."
Minato pointed at Danzo and continued: "To express our sincerity, this is a meeting gift for you. It was he who colluded with Hanzo to kill Yahiko."
After saying that, Minato escaped from Pain's six paths and stood on a tree.
"I can wait until you finish Danzo before we talk."
"Can."
Seeing that Minato and Nagato had reached an agreement, Danzo laughed angrily at being treated as cargo.
"If a tiger doesn't respond to a cat, you think I'm critically ill."
"I'm also very good at fighting!"
It was obvious that Danzo was so angry that he lost his mind and started talking nonsense.
"Whether you are a tiger or a kitten, just go down quietly and apologize to Yahiko."
"All things are attracted by heaven"
