Chapter 61: Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist
A few minutes later, Shiratori and others were invited in by a ninja from Root, who had received orders.
On the way, Huoji Uchiha also explained the contents of his mission letter to Shiratori.
Back then, Izuna Uchiha was severely injured by Tobirama Senju. Before he died, he sealed his Mangekyō Sharingan technique into his eyes in the form of a Transcription seal to protect the Uchiha Clan.
However, because he used too much force, the trigger condition became that the technique can be activated as long as his eyes are open."
After the establishment of Konoha, his identity became somewhat awkward; Izuna never agreed to the alliance with Senju and would not be interested in Konoha even if he were alive.
If Izuna knew about his Mangekyō Sharingan being used in protecting Konoha, where Senju Hashirama was the first Hokage…
So Madara Uchiha asked for a task from Senju Hashirama: Huoji Uchiha will continue to protect the Uchiha Clan until his death.
Over the years, Huoji Uchiha has never stepped out of his clan's territory, and most of the ninjas in Konoha have never even heard of this person.
He has no feelings towards the Konoha, and even his way of dealing with people still has the style of the Uchiha Clan during the Warring States Period; he looks down on everyone except the Uchiha Clan!
For example, now, he has done a big job for Shiratori…
"Danzo, you brat, I am of the same generation as your useless father! How dare you leave me outside the gate for such a long time? Who gave you the courage?"
Danzo Shimura, who was supervising the training of the southeast camp ninjas in the training ground, turned his head slightly and looked coldly at Huoji.
Huoji's voice was so loud that some ninjas who were training on the training grounds could not help but look over there.
They were curious about who had the guts to be so rude to Danzo, who had been ruling the army with high-pressure tactics since his arrival.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong with what I said?"
Huoji had no idea what restraint was and chose to continue attacking.
"I fought with your useless father, and I beat him so hard that he begged for mercy! Is there a scar on his back? That's because I stabbed him from behind when he was escaping! I have to say, although he is not very strong, he is a great runner. I couldn't even catch up with him… What a pity, after Konoha was established, it was not convenient for me to kill him."
Shiratori felt something was wrong when Huoji started speaking, and he felt numb all over when he heard the end!
Kizashi Haruno and Mebuki were trembling in the back, almost pissing themselves…
The Root ninjas next to Danzo were even more furious and wanted to rush up and kill Huoji. They were from the Shimura Clan, and Danzo had not brainwashed them as much as outsiders, so they had more violent personalities.
Danzo-sama's father… It is also their previous clan head! What's the difference between this level of close-range attack and squatting on their heads to shit?
Danzo stretched out his hand to stop them. He felt the strange looks of the ninjas on the training ground, but his expression did not change at all, as if the person who was insulted by Huoji just now had nothing to do with him.
But anyone could imagine that Danzo was so angry at this moment that he probably wanted to kill someone.
Of course, there is always someone who is not afraid of death…
"Exposing your back to the enemy is not what a qualified ninja should do."
Might Duy touched his chin and said in a serious tone: "A ninja should not run away! Even if you know you can't win, you still have to fight to the death. Only in this way can you show the passion of youth!"
Kizashi and Mebuki quietly moved aside, keeping their distance from this fool…
Danzo's old face turned to Might Duy; his eyes narrowed into slits and flashed with a cold light.
Great, one more fool has been added to the kill list.
… …
As the saying goes, talking big is fun for a while…
In the next half month, Team Shiratori had almost no rest except sleeping. They were either killing Village Hidden in the Mist spies or on their way to kill the spies…
They are so tired!
In this regard, Huoji, the instigator, still argued: "Naive little brat! I am saving you! Humiliate Danzo in front of all the ninjas and let everyone know about the conflict between Uchiha and him."
"This way, he will be cautious and will not use some despicable means to harm you! If something happens to you, Danzo will be the first person to be suspected!"
Shiratori just laughed…
Suspected? Doesn't it feel awkward to use this word on Danzo?
You really don't understand the current situation in Konoha at all!
Danzo is the guy who lacks conscience the most!
Would he care about this? He would even dare to assassinate the Third Hokage in the future!
Well, it's useless to say anything now; just be a slave and work overtime…
"Ah!!"
Shiratori thrust the blade into the Kirigakure ninja's chest, turned around, and kicked another Kirigakure ninja away.
The Kirigakure ninja who was kicked away happened to bump into his companion, who was fleeing in front of him. The two of them turned into gourds and rolled on the ground for several rounds in a panic.
After they stood up, before they could react, a dragon head condensed from flames broke out of the ground under their feet!
"Fire Style: Fierce Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
Boom!!
A burning limb fell in front of Shiratori.
He took a look, kicked the thing away, and then sat down where he was.
After thinking for a while, he lay down again…
Tired! Really tired!
"Kid, don't you want to go check it out? Although it sounds like it was blown to pieces, what if it's lucky enough to be alive and ready for a sneak attack?" Huoji Uchiha was eating a chicken leg on the side, looking very leisurely.
Shiratori ignored him.
If you're not dead, then you're not dead. If you have the guts, come and stab me. I promise I won't move…
If Shiratori's current condition is already considered good, then his teammates are even worse off.
Kizashi Haruno and Mebuki collapsed in the camp and couldn't leave due to their injuries.
Duy's injury wasn't that serious. He was full of energy and often shouted incomprehensible things like youth and passion. However, Shiratori still forced him to stay in the camp to take care of the two.
By the way, only one of his two injuries was caused by the enemy, and the other one was caused by his blind positioning, using his waist to block a kunai shot from Kizashi…
Well, this should be the most damage Kizashi has dealt since joining the team…
There was no other way; Shiratori had to form a team alone, taking Huoji, the burden, to complete the mission alone, and Danzo continued to perform steadily without adding any additional manpower to Shiratori… Actually, this was a good thing because if Danzo had stuffed three Root ninjas into the team, he probably wouldn't have dared to go out.
He was lying on the ground, lost in thought, and didn't notice that Huoji next to him suddenly stood up; although he couldn't see with his eyes, he had developed precise Chakra perception ability.
"No! A ninja's Chakra is approaching, and… " Huoji suddenly grabbed Shiratori's arm with an urgent look: "Go!"
But it's too late…
Seven figures jumped and ran into the woods at an extremely fast speed and arrived here in the blink of an eye.
They stood on top of the tree, looking down at Shiratori below, whose expression had changed drastically, with a playful look on their faces.
"I'm already very happy to have the opportunity to surround and kill Danzo Shimura, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain… " Fuguki Suikazan bared his fangs and laughed from the bottom of his heart.
But Shiratori couldn't laugh at all.
"Seven Ninja Swordsmen… of the Mist?! Why are you here?"
