Naruto: The Strongest Sage

The plan became simpler with the addition of Kakashi.

At first, Aoba was going to be the bait. But there was a problem that could not be solved. That is, Danzo was not a lone wolf, he had a large number of subordinates.

The other party would most likely not take action himself, but send his subordinates to carry out the task.

In order to solve this problem. Aoba took action continuously and killed six elite teams of the root. He wanted to weaken the power of the root. Force Danzo to take action.

But this is still not safe. Because the manpower of the root should be more than he saw.

But if Kakashi joins, the chance will be greater. If the two of them join forces, it is basically impossible for the root to succeed without spending a lot of money.

And the action is too big, it will alarm Konoha. Although Aoba killed the Root's men in secret. But if the Root attacked Aoba and Kakashi, it would not be open and aboveboard.

One is that the Root has no direct evidence to prove that the murderer is Aoba or Kakashi. Another problem is that the Root essentially has no law enforcement power within Konoha.

Yes, the positioning of the Root organization is actually very awkward. Because in theory, the Root does not exist. It is a department that does dirty work for Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Therefore, the daily actions of the Root are all under the sign of the Anbu. In most cases, the tasks of the Root are outside the village.

This is a bit like the CIA in later generations. If they do not hang the sign of the Anbu within Konoha, any of their actions are theoretically legal.

Under normal circumstances, Danzo will naturally have no problem relying on the favor of the third generation. But if they attack the two meritorious ninjas of Konoha with great fanfare, then Hiruzen will have to punish him severely even if he favors Danzo, and show it to the major families.

Therefore, both sides act in secret tacitly.

Aoba and Kakashi were becoming more and more undisguised. Even when they were trying to kill a ninja from the root, Aoba accidentally exposed his signature Kusanagi sword.

So, Danzo directly locked on the two of them. He was ready to kill them first and report later. He would first arrest them, torture them severely, collect all the evidence, and then leave Sarutobi Hiruzen speechless.

And considering that Kakashi and Aoba were too powerful. Danzo finally decided to lead the team himself, bringing a large number of good players from the root, preparing to capture these two daring rebels outside Konoha.

Danzo had already identified these two guys as rebels. Danzo would not let these two guys live no matter what if they dared to kill the people from the root.

Although Kakashi and Aoba were both famous for their military exploits. But Danzo was not afraid. He had many trump cards in his hand. If it really didn't work, he would do it himself. With ten resurrection coins and a plug-in-like Kotoamatsukami, it would not be a piece of cake to take down these two bastards.

In the jungle north of Konoha. Aoba and Kakashi surrounded and killed a Root team again. But after killing them, Aoba noticed something was wrong.

"Too weak, it should be a trap. It seems that Danzo can't bear it anymore."

"How are you preparing?"

"Of course I'm ready at any time." Aoba said, and a kunai in his hand suddenly disappeared.

He used Flying Thunder God to send back a kunai. Inform the shadow clones at home and Yumi that the plan has begun.

The next second, there were a lot of footsteps and air-breaking sounds around. Looking around, there were at least thirty Root ninjas who surrounded the two.

"Kakashi, Kamikawa Aoba, you two are so brave. You dared to attack my Root ninjas. Now the evidence is conclusive. Come back to the village with me immediately to stand trial."

However, Aoba and Kakashi on the opposite side looked at Danzo with a strange look on their faces.

"Excuse me...what is the Root? Does Konoha have this department?"

"..." Danzo was almost choked by the retort. The existence of the Root is indeed secret. But they, the senior ninjas, cannot be unaware of it.

He was upset because Aoba's question was undoubtedly poking his lungs. Because the Root is not legitimate, it has always been a concern for Danzo.

Especially in recent years, he wanted to get a few good seedlings from the ninja school, but Sarutobi Hiruzen obstructed him in various ways. These days, he was repeatedly killed by Aoba and Kakashi. The Root can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

In a rage, Danzo wanted to directly use Kotoamatsukami on Aoba to replenish the lost combat power of the Root.

But after thinking about it, he held back. Mainly because in his eyes, Aoba's combat power is good. But he has no special talents. It is not worth him to use Kotoamatsukami.

Aoba also felt

He was a little weak. He even prepared Flying Thunder God. As long as Danzo wanted to remove the bandage, he would just pull Kakashi away.

Fortunately, Danzo finally held back.

It would take some time for Aoba to do this. It was mainly because it would take some time for Feidan to activate the Death God. Moreover, the seal scroll had to be prepared at the same time. And to ensure that Feidan would turn against him, etc.

All the details needed to be ensured to be foolproof. Then they could be killed with one blow. So Aoba was not in a hurry to do it. Instead, he continued to talk nonsense with the other party.

"Kakashi, you little bastard, you should have cut the grass and rooted it out back then."

As soon as Danzo opened his mouth, Aoba almost laughed out loud. Danzo's words could be said to have completely made Kakashi determined to kill.

Because Danzo didn't do White Fang's death himself anyway. So, the determination of responsibility was a bit vague. But Danzo's words directly showed that I was the one who killed your father. And now I regret not killing you back then.

Kakashi said nothing and directly drew the short sword on his back.

Aoba thought about it and also sent a message not to take action for the time being.

Does Kakashi know swordsmanship? There is almost no display in the original work. The main reason is that in the later period, the limitations of swordsmanship are too great. Unless you drive a Gundam to swing the sword, it is basically meaningless.

However, during this period, swordsmanship is still an extremely practical skill. And Kakashi obviously knows swordsmanship. It's just that after his father died, he basically didn't use it.

And now, he has untied his heart knot and picked up his father's sword again. He suddenly became a Kakashi that Aoba had never seen before.

Danzo brought a lot of people, and they were all elite. Basically, they were composed of jonin, special jonin, and various special auxiliary ninjas.

And before the battle, they used the barrier technique to block the surrounding area. Little did they know that this was exactly what Aoba wanted.

This action was to kill Danzo. But Aoba has no intention of turning against Konoha for the time being. Therefore, this operation cannot be exposed. At least not in public.

Aoba's initial plan was to kill everyone. And Danzo's action of blocking the surrounding area perfectly fits Aoba's plan.

"Danzo will be left to you, and the others will be left to me. Remember our plan, don't be too ruthless."
