I don't believe in the will of fire

"Why... why? Ahem..."

A mouthful of blood spurted out, feeling the heat in his body slowly dissipating and the coldness of the long knife piercing his chest. Shengshu looked at the familiar elder in front of him with despair and disbelief in his eyes.

"As expected of Master Hashirama's grandson, his vitality is so tenacious. If it is a clone cultivated from the cells of this body, it should be able to withstand the power of the wood escape cells."

Although only a pair of eyes were exposed, the familiar voice still allowed Naoki to recognize at once that the person in front of him was one of the elders he once admired: Shimura Danzo.

Behind Danzo were dozens of ninjas wearing black night clothes and wearing forehead protectors from the Rain Ninja Village.

"Go with peace of mind. As the heir of Lord Hashirama's bloodline, you make everyone feel more at ease dead than alive. Don't worry, I will make the best use of your body to let Lord Hashirama's power reappear, and then use

This power protects Konoha."

"!!!"

Danzo's words were like a sharp knife, piercing not only Nasuki's body, but also his heart.

"Guard Konoha."

This sentence that he himself often talked about and regarded as his motto, at this moment, made him feel pain that he had never experienced before.

"No...it shouldn't be like this."

He wanted to struggle, but it was obviously too late. He felt that the strength in his body was slowly draining away, and he no longer even had the power to speak.

Before he died, the words he said to his sister when he said goodbye appeared before his eyes.

"I'm sorry, sister, I..."

Unfortunately, before even saying the final goodbye, Shengshu closed his eyes forever.

At this time, a ninja came to Danzo.

"How's it going? Has Senju Chiba solved it?"

"It's settled, Danzo-sama, do you want to take his body back?"

"Take it back. In any case, it is the body of the Senju clan and has high research value. It's just a pity. It would be better if we deal with them within the territory of Yu Ninja Village."

"This... I'm sorry, Danzo-sama. I didn't expect that he actually learned the shadow clone technique. Moreover, this child seemed to know our plan and actually used the clone to deceive the people we installed. Did someone leak the plan?

Could it be the Hokage's side?"

Danzo's eyes narrowed and he glanced at Ryoma.

"Don't say anything you shouldn't say."

"I'm sorry, Danzo-sama."

"Pack up his body and prepare to evacuate. Remember to leave something here."

"Understood, the corpses of Yu Ren have been arranged, and we are the only ones left here."

"Um."

As he spoke, Ryoma tore off the forehead protector and clothes from Naoki's body, threw it casually on the ground, and was about to pick up Naoki's body and leave, but at this moment, the ninja responsible for sensing suddenly shouted.

"Be careful, something is falling from the sky."

Everyone looked up, and sure enough, at some point, a giant white bird appeared in the sky, and at the same time, white, spider-like things fell from the sky and landed in front of their eyes.

"Drink·explosion!"

The sudden explosion resounded throughout the dense forest. Although Ryoma, a Jonin, reacted very quickly, he could not avoid such a sudden attack. He could only avoid the vital parts as much as possible, and at the same time quickly

's retreated.

Even so, his arm was still injured by the bomb, but fortunately it was not a major problem.

The sudden turn of events caused everyone to change their expressions, especially Danzo Shimura. After all, attacking the Senju Rope Tree was a taboo in the ninja world. If the news leaked out, even Sarutobi Hiruzen would protect him.

, he won’t survive either.

What made him even more angry was that after the explosion, when he looked back, he saw that a giant bird had landed next to the body of Shengshu. It opened its mouth and swallowed the body of Shengshu.

Standing on the back of the giant bird was a blond boy wearing a rock ninja forehead protector.

I saw the wings waving, and the giant bird took off.

"Oops, we can't let him run away."

No matter what the origin of this blond boy is, he must not let Sheng Shu's body be taken away. Otherwise, the operation will fall short. If this operation is leaked, he will be even more dangerous.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Waves"

Countless sharp breaths flew out of Danzo's mouth, like thin threads, directly strangling the giant bird that had not yet taken flight. Although Danzo was not as powerful as Sarutobi Hiruzen, after all, he was once

A member of the Second Hokage's elite escort team, he still has strength close to Kage level.

The blond-haired boy could only fall from the sky holding the corpse of the rope tree. Seeing this, the ninjas around Danzo immediately drew a circle and surrounded the two of them.

Danzo then walked over and asked coldly: "Who are you? Hand over his body and I will spare your life."

But the blond-haired boy in front of him didn't look too panicked. Instead, he took out a scroll, placed it across his chest and said with a wild smile: "I didn't expect that I could meet Konoha's high-ranking Danzo here.

The ninja of the village took action, and if I read correctly, this person is from the Senju clan. It would be really interesting if I spread this news."

Danzo was instantly filled with murderous intent and ordered directly.

"Kill him."

As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen ninjas around them rushed over, but when they saw this blond-haired boy, they immediately formed seals.

"Psychic Technique: Exploding Birds"

"Be careful, this is also a bomb!"

"boom..."

Explosions sounded one after another, and the smoke obscured everyone's vision. Although these dozen or so ninjas could be said to be elites, they could only retreat temporarily in the face of explosions of this magnitude.

After the explosion, the bodies of the blond-haired boy and Shengshu had disappeared.

"Over here?"

The ninja responsible for sensing quickly found the enemy's traces. Danzo didn't say anything and waved his hand with a gloomy expression.

"Chase!"

————————

"Are you still alive?"

In the forest, Shenyue was carrying the corpse of the rope tree. No, it couldn't be said to be a corpse, because although it was weak, Shenyue could still feel the faint beating of the heart of the rope tree.

It can only be said that the vitality of the Thousand Hands clan is indeed tenacious. They were stabbed through the body with a knife, but they still didn't die.

"Is it really a coincidence?"

Looking at the rope tree that had lost most of its life at this moment, Shenyue was also a little helpless, and then looked at Danzo and his group who were chasing after him.

"trouble!!!"

It would be much more convenient for him if the rope tree was dead at this moment. Anyway, he had got what he wanted and it would be very easy to escape.

But who would have thought that he is still alive.

Thinking of this, he looked up at the sky.

"The main body needs to think of a solution as soon as possible."

That's right, Shenyue at this moment is just a clone, specifically, a clay clone.

Although Nasuki was already one of the few friends he had in Konoha, it didn't mean that he was willing to put himself in danger to save him.

But at this moment, a huge shadow suddenly shrouded the sky. Shenyue's clone looked up and, thinking the same as his main body, his face suddenly changed and he cursed.

"It's actually C4, the idiot's body, the Rope Tree is still alive, it's over... it's over, even those who were not dead this time won't be able to survive."

He could only use all his speed and escape into the distance with the rope tree on his back.

Danzo and his party also noticed the huge doll falling from the sky, and the intense uneasiness in their hearts caused everyone's pupils to shrink instantly.

"Is this a bomb too?"

There was almost no hesitation and everyone ran away quickly.

But it was obviously too late.

"Drink·explosion!"

The main body in the sky looked fiercely at Danzo and his group who were fleeing underground, and muttered.

"I can't blow you up this time, you bastard! I'll avenge you on Shengshu!"
