Yoruha turned around and looked at Danzo, calmly saying, "Do you think I would do something as significant as arresting you without her permission?" Hearing this, Danzo, who had been arrogant just moments before, finally frowned. "Tsunade wants to arrest me?"
Yoruha remained silent, calmly watching Danzo. Danzo couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe Tsunade would actually dare to arrest him. "I don't believe it, HAHAHA! Kid, you actually dare to impersonate Tsunade's orders. If this gets out, I'm afraid even Tsunade won't be able to protect you."
Danzo still refused to believe it. How could Tsunade dare to arrest him? Didn't she know that he controlled the Root organization, and if she moved against him, what kind of turmoil it would cause in Konoha Village? Didn't she know? But Yoruha, with a calm expression, said, "Alright, stop the act. Just come with me quietly. If you want to know what crimes you've committed, the Hokage will personally tell you in prison."
Danzo took a step back, roaring, "How dare Tsunade! She would never do such a thing. Kid, you dare to falsely convey Tsunade's orders. I'll teach you a lesson on her behalf right now!" Danzo was furious. He hadn't expected Tsunade to actually go this far. He pulled down the bandage over his other eye, revealing a Mangekyo Sharingan. Yoruha was not the least bit surprised upon seeing the Mangekyo Sharingan. He merely said blandly, "Looks like you haven't used that eye much."
Danzo activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, glaring at Yoruha. "Kid, obediently fall under my control." In an instant, he used Kotoamatsukami. But after using it, he found that Yoruha remained unchanged.
Yoruha's lips curled slightly. "Surprised? Maybe that eye of yours is expired." Danzo stepped back again, finally realizing Yoruha's strength.
Even this Mangekyo Sharingan had no effect on him, and Kotoamatsukami was useless against Yoruha. Even a fool would know that Yoruha was very powerful. "It seems that over the years, I've underestimated your strength while you've been by Tsunade's side," Danzo said, looking gravely at Yoruha.
Yoruha stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at Danzo indifferently. Danzo felt immense pressure at this moment. Indeed, four years ago, Yoruha had already been able to take down two of his trusted subordinates.
Even if Yoruha's strength hadn't grown much over the past four years, Kotoamatsukami still couldn't control him. "Don't think that just because you can evade Kotoamatsukami, you can capture me." Danzo's hands began to form seals rapidly.
"Wind Release: Wind Cutter!" Right off the bat, Danzo unleashed one of his most proficient Wind Release techniques. "Whoosh!" A wind blade appeared in front of him, spinning rapidly and even forming a vortex around it. "Kid, die!"
"Whoosh!" "Screech~" The wind blade flew swiftly towards Yoruha. Yoruha showed no reaction, seemingly not resisting at all, calmly watching the wind blade fly towards him. Danzo was surprised by Yoruha's attitude.
"Is this kid scared stiff? Or does he have some trick up his sleeve?" Just as the wind blade appeared in front of Yoruha, countless golden lightning bolts surrounded him.
Emptiness. Throughout the entire process, Yoruha didn't even move a muscle. He simply watched Danzo with a smile on his face.
Danzo was stunned by the scene. Although the golden shield quickly dissipated, he saw clearly that the moment it appeared, he could even feel the atmospheric pressure around him intensify significantly. That golden shield had an incredibly oppressive presence.
Danzo finally realized the terrifying power of Yoruha. "What other tricks do you have? Show me." Yoruha said with a smile.
Yet, Danzo was unaware that Yoruha was merely toying with him. If he wished, with just a thought, Danzo would be reduced to ashes. Even though Yoruha had used his long-unused lightning net, it was enough to intimidate Danzo.
Releasing a jutsu without hand signs, without even moving, and executing such an advanced technique—Danzo now understood that Yoruha was a formidable force. Years ago, Yoruha already possessed Kage-level strength. At that time, Tsunade had just taken office, and Danzo's attention was entirely on her, completely overlooking the strength of Yoruha, who had become Tsunade's guardian.
Who would have thought that a few years later, Yoruha's power would grow to such a terrifying extent? Although they had only exchanged two jutsus, Danzo already had a thought in his mind: he was no match for Yoruha. The dimly lit Root organization headquarters was empty, and the distant door was right behind Yoruha.
Escaping would be extremely difficult. But should he just surrender? Now that Tsunade had already torn off the facade, did he have any room to maneuver?
Even if he didn't die and was only imprisoned for a while, by the time he got out, everything would have changed. In that case, he might as well take a gamble, eliminate Yoruha immediately, launch a coup, and seize the position of Hokage. With this thought, Danzo immediately bit his finger.
"Summoning Jutsu," Danzo clapped his hands on the ground. In an instant, a cloud of smoke appeared behind him. As the massive white smoke dissipated, a gigantic summoned beast appeared in the headquarters hall of the Root organization.
The hall was vast, with a high ceiling, yet even with the twenty-meter-tall Baku, it couldn't reach the top. "Roar!!" the Baku bellowed at Yoruha upon being summoned. Yoruha looked at the Baku and smiled, "Is this your summoned beast?
So, you don't plan to surrender and intend to resist to the end?" Danzo tore off the bandages on his arm and shouted angrily, "Kid, if you want to capture me, not even Tsunade herself could do it. Baku, attack, take down this brat."
The Baku roared and charged at Yoruha. "Thump, thump, thump..." The massive creature's heavy body ran through the hall, causing a minor earthquake.
But Danzo couldn't care less about that now. Today, he was determined to see Yoruha dead, to launch a coup, and reclaim what he believed was his rightful position as Hokage. Yoruha watched as the Baku charged towards him. Calmly, he said, "It's been a while since I've summoned you. Come out and show yourself."
"Summoning Jutsu," Yoruha merely moved his lips, and a giant serpent appeared behind him. "Hiss~" "Boom!" A cloud of white smoke appeared behind Yoruha, and before it even cleared, a purple giant serpent burst forth from it. The serpent collided head-on with the Baku.
The immense force sent the Baku flying. Danzo was dumbfounded. Staring at the giant serpent, his voice trembled, "Is this... Manda?!"
