'Something big happened!'
Sitting in front of the Hokage's desk, Hiruzen's pupils were trembling slightly, his back was soaked with cold sweat, and a chill ran from his tailbone to the back of his head.
The Root base was located on the edge of Konoha.
It was a large base built by hollowing out a huge expanse of underground.
In terms of area, it was even larger than the Anbu base.
'Such an important place actually collapsed?!'
'Something absolutely horrific happened!'
"Danzo, what trouble did you get into again?"
Anger almost burst out and became substance from Hiruzen's eyes and voice.
'To be able to make such a big noise in one of the top facilities of Konoha, I'm afraid only Mirai can do it.'
He stared at the half-kneeling Anbu member and commanded sharply.
"Quick! Gather the available Anbu members immediately!"
Just when Hiruzen was gathering the Anbu, other villagers in Konoha had also noticed something unusual in the village.
"Is there an earthquake?"
"Why is the ground shaking suddenly?"
"What happened?"
Panic, confusion, and fear spread among the common villagers. This sudden shock left them confused and at a loss.
Until, someone suddenly exclaimed.
"Look! There's smoke rising over there!"
Following the direction that the person pointed, the other villagers turned to look, and suddenly fell into a daze.
They saw thick billowing smoke rising from the southern part of the village. They realized that it was not the smoke produced out of a fire, but the dust stirred up by the collapse of something, almost covering the forest.
'Such a huge amount of dust…'
It was not until this moment that these villagers realized the seriousness of the matter.
…
The edge of Konoha.
The Root base originally hidden underground had completely become history, leaving only a huge sinkhole-like depression, and the surging dust that was gradually dispersing.
"Cough! Cough..."
Danzo, whose body was covered with dust and blood, covered his mouth in a half-kneeling position and coughed violently.
As the surrounding dust dispersed, the surrounding ruins came into view, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
Loss!
Extreme loss!
The entire Root base had been reduced to rubble, and many scattered corpses of dead Root members could be seen among the rubble and broken walls.
Danzo's pupils were trembling, and his heart felt like it was being held tightly by a big hand!
He felt the situation so suffocating, that he couldn't breathe.
The Root, the organization that he had worked hard on for so many years, the Root that he had devoted his whole life to, were all destroyed in one day.
At this moment, he felt as if the whole world was spinning.
Turning his head, his one eye was filled with ferocious bloodlust stared at Naruto who was safe and sound under the protection of that same magnetic fluid.
"Because of you! It's all because of you!"
"Everything I have is gone!"
At this moment, there was only endless killing intent left in his heart and mind.
The Root was no more, so what if the [Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal] was successfully placed on Naruto?
The entirety of Root, from its members to their base, equipment, etc… everything was destroyed. The damage could not be undone.
"Go to hell! Demon Fox!"
Danzo rushed towards Naruto with a roar of hatred.
Naruto's face turned pale with fear, and he subconsciously closed his eyes and shouted.
"Uncle!"
*Puff*
With a dull sound of flesh breaking apart, Danzo's ferocious expression froze, and he suddenly felt that the world in his field of vision was turning upside down.
He saw that his headless body was still in the rushing position.
He also saw a blond figure slowly walking out in the scattered dust on the opposite side, his eyes cold as always.
After running for a certain distance under the influence of inertia, Danzo's body fell in the rubble, his head rolled away several meters away, and he died with his eyes open.
Naruto raised his head, his blue eyes suddenly moistened, looking at the blond figure walking slowly.
"Uncle!"
Naruto ran over and threw himself into Mirai's arms.
His big hand patted Naruto's blond hair, and a soft smile appeared in Mirai's eyes.
"You're not hurt, are you?"
"No."
Naruto shook his head and wiped the tears from his eyes.
"Uncle, I am very strong. I was not scared at all."
"Hahaha, as exected of my nephew."
Not far away, Danzo's body that fell in the ruins suddenly disappeared, like an eraser appeared out of thin air and wiped away his body.
This abnormality naturally did not escape Mirai's eyes.
There was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"Izanagi again, huh? Well this time, I am in no mood to leave you alive. I can kill the likes of you a thousand times."
From the information Fugaku provided, Mirai knew about Izanagi.
But, so what?
No matter how many times Danzo was resurrected, he would still remain the same trash and would die without any suspense.
A hundred meters away from the place of death, Danzo reappeared, breathing heavily and his eyes full of horror.
In an instant.
When he rushed towards Naruto, although he lost his composure due to anger, he still had the vigilance gained from decades of experience.
But still, he couldn't even sense it till the moment his head was detached from his body.
If Izanagi hadn't been activated by his right eye before his death, he might have really died.
He bit his finger and slapped it on the ground.
As a burst of white smoke dissipated, the huge body of his summoning beast, Baku, appeared in the ruins.
"Danzo, why did you suddenly call me out?"
Baku was a little unhappy as it had been quite a while since Danzo summoned him. When he noticed the surrounding scene, his expression froze.
"Danzo, where is this place? Did the Fourth Great Ninja War broke out or something?"
"This is the Root base. Let's chat later. Deal with the enemy in front of you first!"
'Root base?'
Baku was stunned.
Such a large ruin was actually the Root base?
'The Root base was destroyed like this?'
'Did this guy got himself in trouble again?'
Baku wanted more details but seeing Danzo's extremely nervous expression, Baku didn't bother to raise his questions, and looked at the enemy opposite him with great caution.
"Attack!"
Danzo shouted.
Baku suddenly opened his mouth, and a terrifying suction force erupted from his mouth.
Rubbles, broken walls, and almost all objects in front were all sucked in.
Around Mirai, countless rubble from the ruins flew away from him, but he was still standing in the same spot.
Naruto who was protected by the magnetic fluid and was not affected as well.
"Baku, please hold on for a while, I'm going to prepare a special jutsu."
"Very well."
Hearing Danzo's voice, Baku didn't hesitate and increased the suction force.
(T.L Note: I was almost tempted to write "sucked even harder" instead of "increased the suction force")
Mirai moved, like a flash of blue lightning, and instantly came to the summoning beast.
Baku's pupils shrank, completely unaware that the opponent's speed was so terrifying.
*Boom*
Mirai punched Baku without any nonsense, and with a burst of teeth-piercing cracking sounds and blood splattering everywhere, the terrifying suction force suddenly stopped, and the Baku's body flew backwards like a cannonball.
After rolling in the ruins and smashing several walls, it gradually stopped.
Baku felt like the whole world was spinning. His skull, which could withstand even the direct attacks of sharp kunai, was deeply dented, and the blood was leaking out.
"Danzo, are you done?"
Baku asked weakly, but glancing in the direction of Danzo, he saw that the other party was running like crazy, and there was no sign of fighting intention at all.
"Danzo summoned you just to act as a human shield."
Mirai stepped on Baku's head, and said indifferently.
The weight of his feet suddenly increased.
"Danzo! You shameless..."
*Bang*
The angry Baku turned into smoke and disappeared.
