Yugito Nii nodded, "That's part of the reason." Regardless, thanks to Yoruha, both Yugito Nii and the Two-Tails' chakra had tripled in strength. Once she mastered this chakra, Yugito Nii's power would increase significantly. Three days later, Yoruha arrived at the Anbu headquarters.
Due to Yoruha's previous display of power, the members of Anbu were now completely convinced of Yoruha's strength. They all knew very well that Yoruha was undoubtedly the strongest in Konoha. However, after Yoruha's initial appearance, he hadn't returned to Anbu for some time.
He had delegated all tasks to Yamato. It was quite rare for Yoruha to call a meeting with all the Anbu captains today. At the Anbu headquarters, Yoruha entered the meeting room.
All the ninjas immediately stood up, "Captain!" They all stood in unison, a stark contrast to Yoruha's first visit. But Yoruha didn't care about such details. As soon as he entered and saw everyone standing, he waved his hand and said, "Sit down."
Everyone sat down, demonstrating Yoruha's influence within Anbu. Yoruha placed a directive signed by Tsunade on the table and said, "Today, we have a mission to complete, and I need all your squads to participate." All the ninjas looked at Yoruha; it was clear that if Yoruha took it so seriously, it must be a very important mission.
"Captain, what mission is it?" a Jônin asked. Yoruha replied, "It's an arrest mission, and the target holds a high position."
As soon as Yoruha finished speaking, another ninja asked, "Is it Elder Danzo?" Yoruha looked at the ninja. Feeling a bit awkward under Yoruha's gaze, the ninja said, "Did I say something wrong?"
Yoruha shook his head, "No, you're right. It seems Elder Danzo is quite well-known in Anbu." The ninjas finally understood the purpose of Yoruha's mission. However, they didn't mind; they had been displeased with the Root organization for a long time.
Although it was supposed to be a part of Anbu, it wasn't directly under Anbu's command, which effectively diminished Anbu's authority. Naturally, they weren't happy about it. Moreover, having been in Anbu for years, they were aware of some of the things Danzo had done. Although Anbu was also involved in dirty work, they had their own rules, and what Danzo did was simply too unscrupulous.
If it weren't for Danzo's status, they would have reported him long ago. Yoruha looked at everyone and said, "Since you've already guessed, then prepare yourselves. Each squad, select three ninjas to accompany me to the Root organization to arrest Danzo and secure the Root headquarters, capturing the Root ninjas."
After Yoruha finished speaking, all the ninjas stood up and said, "Yes!" As they left Anbu headquarters, Yamato walked beside Yoruha and said, "If Danzo resists, things could get complicated. The Root organization is used to acting with impunity, and there will likely be casualties during the arrest. You need to be prepared for that." Yoruha nodded, saying nothing.
However, he couldn't allow casualties to occur. If it weren't for adhering to Konoha's regulations, he could have erased Danzo and the Root organization from existence by himself.
How to bring down Yoruha. Ever since Yoruha became the leader of the Anbu, Danzo couldn't stand it. He had been planning for so long, eyeing the department for decades, only for Tsunade to hand it over to Yoruha with just a word—a person who hadn't made any significant contributions to Konoha. And a young person at that. If it were a ninja like Minato, even if he had objections, he wouldn't be so resentful.
But in Danzo's eyes, Yoruha had no achievements and simply got the Anbu command through Tsunade's connections. He was furious. In the dim underground, Danzo sat on a massive seat, gripping a cane, surrounded by emptiness, not a soul in sight.
At that moment, the enormous iron door of the Root organization slowly opened. Danzo, deep in thought, turned his attention to the sound. A few beams of light pierced through the darkness.
In the light, there was a silhouette. Danzo frowned, "Who is it?" "Tap, tap, tap..."
The footsteps grew closer, and as the figure approached, Danzo felt a growing sense of unease. However, he didn't remain overly cautious, given that Root's ninjas were guarding outside; it should be one of them. It was only when the figure stood before him that his eyes widened, "It's, it's you?"
Yoruha looked at the shocked Danzo and smiled, "It's me, surprised?" Danzo's expression instantly turned cold, and he said icily, "Now that you're the Anbu captain, you think you can just waltz into the Root organization? Is this what Tsunade taught you?"
Yoruha merely chuckled, glancing around the Root organization's hall, "This place really suits your personality." Danzo grew increasingly angry, even ready to unravel his bandages and reveal the Sharingan to take Yoruha's life. Of course, given Yoruha's high position as a Hokage guard and Anbu captain, he wouldn't dare handle Yoruha like he did Shisui Uchiha...
But he did want to teach Yoruha a lesson, to show him that he wasn't someone to be trifled with. Danzo, suppressing his anger, asked, "What exactly do you want? If you're here to retaliate by telling Tsunade about me, you're making a mistake." Given Yoruha's current status, he's already one of Konoha's top officials.
In terms of position and power, Danzo couldn't compare. At this point, Danzo actually held no official position. He only had the Root organization, which wasn't even legitimate, and with his current status, he had no authority to command it.
It was only due to his prestige that the Root organization could still function. Yoruha turned to Danzo, calmly stating, "Danzo, why didn't you and the Root organization support Konoha Village during Pain's attack?" Danzo squinted, thinking to himself, "This guy really came with ill intentions. Is he here to retaliate for opposing his appointment as Anbu captain with Tsunade?"
Danzo, feeling justified, replied, "It's because Pain was too powerful. Even if we went out to support, it wouldn't have made a difference. I had to leave some seeds for Konoha." Yoruha sneered, "Leaving some seeds for Konoha, huh? But there's no need to argue. I'm arresting you for colluding with the enemy, providing internal village information to Akatsuki members, and aiding Konoha's S-rank rogue ninjas."
Hearing this, Danzo laughed, "Kid, you're so naive. Do you think you can arrest me? Would Tsunade agree to this? Would she dare?"
