Chapter 166: Danzo Is My Dear Friend!
Chapter 166: Danzo Is My Dear Friend!
Money!
So much money!
Stacks of gold coins made Hyuga Tsukiyomi doubt her eyes.
To recap, gold coins are the true hard currency in the ninja world, serving as the universal medium of exchange.
Last time, when dealing with the Kamakura nobles, she had acquired a few chests of gold coins.
But here, the number of gold coins was equivalent to dozens of small chests, along with various secret medicines, scrolls, chakra metals, and more.
There was just too much!
It far exceeded Hyuga Tsukiyomi’s imagination.
The village had always been complaining about being poor, always on the brink of collapse, but she hadn’t expected the Root organization to have such vast reserves.
Hyuga Tsukiyomi quickly snapped out of her daze, realizing that now wasn’t the time to be stunned.
Whoosh!
She swiftly pulled out several sealing scrolls from her back.
This was why she had been allowed to come alone to raid the place.
Otherwise, if she really wanted to loot Root, it would be impossible without sufficient transportation.
But with sealing techniques, it was a different story.
Sealing scrolls, something that Douhei could now manufacture.
He had never stopped learning in this field and was now considered a high-level player, even if he couldn’t match Kushina, he was far superior to the sealing class.
The dozen or so temporary sealing scrolls he had created over this period were, admittedly, garbage compared to those made by Uzumaki Kushina.
These "temporary" sealing scrolls could store items for a maximum of one month, and once used, they would collapse within a few hours, making the materials extremely valuable.
Each scroll cost over a million ryo in materials.
Sealing scrolls were rare for a reason, not only because of the technical requirements but also because of the need for rare materials.
Hyuga Tsukiyomi made a few hand seals.
Sealing scrolls could be set with seals to control storage and retrieval, acting as a kind of "password."
Puff!
A pile of gold coins vanished in a cloud of smoke, along with a heap of refined iron.
Root was the parasite of Konoha, consuming vast resources from the village.
Now, their accumulation was about to become Douhei’s.
Thanks, Danzo, for the gold coins!
She unfolded the sealing scrolls one by one, storing the items from the warehouse.
Truly, the headquarters of Root!
There were so many valuable items that Hyuga Tsukiyomi used most of her sealing scrolls.
If it weren’t for the fact that the laboratory wasn’t here and the equipment was missing, even more sealing scrolls wouldn’t have been enough.
After looting the warehouse, Hyuga Tsukiyomi immediately headed toward the ninjutsu secret chamber.
Root had its own reserve of ninjutsu; otherwise, how would they learn techniques without going through official channels?
Just like the Anbu, they had their internal system, where sufficient contributions could be exchanged for ninjutsu.
Otherwise, everyone wouldn’t aspire to join the Anbu.
"Divine Air Strike!"
Exiting the warehouse, Hyuga Tsukiyomi took a deep breath and suddenly swung her right hand.
Two massive chakra fists whistled out.
Boom! Boom!
A tunnel-like passage appeared before her.
Although it was just a moment, she had used the Divine Air Strike twice in rapid succession.
Even though it was far from the level of eighty Divine Air Strikes that could shatter the sky and crush the earth, it already had a formidable foundation.
Divine Air Strike!
Each additional use significantly increased its power.
The sturdy underground base was nothing before the Divine Air Strike.
Before, she would have worried about running out of chakra.
But after the Reincarnation Eye reached the fetal stage, her chakra skyrocketed.
Combined with the Natural Energy Potion, her chakra level had reached the Kage level, and with the special abilities of the Reincarnation Eye, her strength was truly at the Kage level.
"Kill her!"
Root ninjas charged out.
Even though they knew it was a death sentence, no one took a step back.
Danzo’s brainwashing skills were no less impressive than her own, with the "Will of Root" being a dark version of the Will of Fire.
"Repel!"
Hyuga Tsukiyomi aimed her right hand at the Root ninjas rushing through the tunnel.
Boom!
The Root ninjas, as if hit by a high-speed train, were instantly sent flying backward, their bodies turning into pulp.
From this, it was clear that the battle scenes in the anime were heavily romanticized.
Otherwise, when Pain used Repel, it wouldn’t just knock people back; it would completely crush them.
A single use of Divine Heavenly Strike effortlessly crushed the group of Root shinobi.
Hyuga Aozuki entered the secret jutsu chamber with a calm demeanor and quickly gathered the jutsu scrolls.
As for the seals on the scrolls, with Touhei around, there was no need to worry about breaking them.
Suddenly, Hyuga Aozuki's hand paused.
There was an unsealed scroll.
It was a mission scroll, detailing a specific mission.
After reading it, her gaze flickered a few times, and she carefully tucked the scroll away, not placing it with the jutsu scrolls.
The most regrettable part was the absence of the "Sealed Book," the most precious treasure of Konoha.
With Danzo's status, he naturally had the authority to access it and even had the chance to store it with Root.
However, it hadn't been stored yet, so she had to miss out on it for now.
But no worries, she could always come back for it later.
Indeed, after Touhei had repeatedly benefited from Root, he had already considered Danzo his top benefactor and secret financier. Naturally, he would often "visit," and while visiting, it was only natural to bring some things back home, right?
He had settled into a routine of exploiting Root!
Now, even if someone wanted to disband Root, he wouldn't agree.
Without this benefactor's "treasure trove," where would he turn for money and resources in the future?
Others might not have the same financial capabilities as Danzo, and their moral boundaries would make Touhei think twice.
Yes, moral boundaries!
If he had no boundaries, with his current strength, he could go on a spree of plundering and killing. Money wouldn't be an issue then.
But even so, Touhei didn't act, because he didn't want to become a boundary-less madman.
He had a vague intuition that if he kept breaking his boundaries and acting recklessly, the outcome would be disastrous.
Before he crossed over, he wouldn't have taken such an intuition seriously.
But in the shinobi world, he had to believe it.
Robbing Danzo, however, didn't violate his moral boundaries. In fact, he wished he could do it a few times a day.
With such a good benefactor, it was no wonder Touhei's attitude toward Danzo had changed.
In the past, he had hoped Danzo would die.
Now?
Danzo had become his "cherished friend," and if someone wanted to kill him, Touhei might even step in to protect him.
Thud!
Hyuga Aozuki sealed the gathered jutsu scrolls into a scroll.
She continued her search!
Whenever she encountered someone, she used Divine Heavenly Strike, then opened a path with Divine Sky Strike.
Her high-profile actions were also to throw off the blame.
The last time she raided the branch base for Hashirama cells, she had left traces of the "Shell" organization.
This time, she would use the same tactic, pinning the attack on Root onto the Shell organization to clear her name.
With a mask, one could do as they pleased!
And Danzo would never suspect Touhei.
The attack was done by the "Shell" organization, not by Uchiha Touhei.
The news of the attack on Root naturally spread.
...
At the ruins of the Hokage Building!
The clan leaders of the major shinobi clans were gathered here, anxiously watching Senju Inuzuka.
He was reading the information from the corpses.
But some already had a clue.
"Kageri Village!" Nara Shikaku, the head of the Nara clan, said without the "Dai" in his title: "During the Second Shinobi World War, we, Konoha, destroyed this village..."
He had seen the information from the village and recognized the source of the name.
As one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages, Konoha couldn't have grown to its current status without shedding some blood, having wiped out countless other shinobi villages and clans.
Those who refused to submit met only one fate.
Destruction!
So, one couldn't assume Konoha was kind and easy to bully just because they faced challenges in the future.
"..."
But after hearing the information, everyone was speechless.
If the village still existed, they could have directly retaliated.
But now, the last living person from that village was dead. They couldn't dig them up and kill them again, could they?
So, Konoha was stuck with this loss.
Just then!
Danzo's face suddenly changed, and he angrily shouted.
