Naruto: Minato Namikaze, born evil

Chapter 46 Killing Danzo

Let's rewind a few minutes.

Following the spores on the three people, Minato arrived at the Eastern Forest in a few flashes.

However, he did not follow immediately. Instead, after the three of them stopped changing positions, he fired a laser beam, blasting open the underground entrance to the Root base.

boom!

A violent explosion resounded through the night sky.

The water gate, like a streak of light, passed through the long corridor and arrived at a huge courtyard.

After glancing around, I found that it was basically the same as the Root base in the anime.

"Enemy attack!"

rustling-

A dozen or so figures emerged silently from the darkness, like a group of nimble cats, surrounding Minato with menacing eyes, not letting their guard down despite Minato's age.

Those who can break into the Root base are no ordinary people.

"Intruders, annihilate them!"

The leader of the dark faction spoke in a cold, hard voice, like solid ice.

"Wait a moment."

In the darkness at the end of the corridor, Danzo walked slowly to the group.

His gaze fell on Minato, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

Amazed, envious, admiring, jealous...

After several seconds of silence, Danzo finally spoke calmly: "It seems you've left some tricks on the Mountain Demon and the others."

Minato remained calm: "So you're the mastermind behind this?"

"hehe…"

Danzo did not answer, but slowly raised his hand, signaling the surrounding ninjas to take a step back.

He stared at Minato, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, his voice carrying a subtle, seductive quality.

"To venture into the Roots alone at such a young age is reckless, but I must say, your courage is truly astonishing."

"Why did you attack Kushina?"

Minato didn't reply, but simply asked a question.

"Kushina Uzumaki... You might not believe me, but I really did do this to help you."

Danzo asked softly, "Do you know anything about that girl? Her background, her mission, her purpose in appearing beside you..."

"There exist creatures in this world called Tailed Beasts. These creatures have the power to move mountains and fill seas. The First Hokage once captured nine Tailed Beasts and distributed them to the five great ninja villages. Since then, the power of the Tailed Beasts has become the strongest power of each village. Our Konoha's Tailed Beast is the Nine-Tails, which is known as the strongest Tailed Beast."

"However, the power of the tailed beasts was too great and difficult to control. Therefore, Mito Uzumaki, the wife of the First Hokage, used herself as a vessel to seal the Nine-Tails within her body. Afterwards, other countries followed suit. This kind of being who seals the tailed beasts is also called a Jinchuriki..."

"Now that I say that, I think you understand. That's right... Kushina Uzumaki is the next Nine-Tails Jinchuriki!"

Danzo sighed as he spoke, "Wood Release has the power to suppress Tailed Beasts, which is why the Third Hokage placed her by your side."

"The Third Hokage hoped to bind Kushina to you, using your power to restrain the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and at the same time, to use the Nine-Tails to restrain you."

"I don't think anyone would want their life to be controlled by others, and you probably wouldn't want to tie your life to a monster that people fear."

"I've always felt that a genius like you shouldn't be buried for three generations. He's afraid of your power and is trying to use emotions to bind you and control your life."

Danzo shook his head with a regretful expression, then looked earnestly at Minato.

"You're a genius, Minato. Join Root! I'll give you a real stage! Here, you can unleash your talents without being bound by anything, and become someone comparable to the First Hokage!"

"You should be able to see that my target is not you, but only to remove the shackles that the three generations have used to bind you."

"Nonou is one of your people, right?"

Having confirmed his suspicions with Danzo, Minato said calmly, "Your actions seem no different from the Third Hokage's?"

Danzo shook his head: "That was just a helpless measure under the autocratic rule of the Third Hokage."

"Using threats?"

"As long as it's for the village, any means are worth it. That's the kind of place the root is. The world isn't just black and white; someone always has to deal with these shady things."

Danzo did not deny that such a lie, which could be easily exposed, was meaningless.

Moreover, the moment the other party realized Nono's identity, he decided to give up on Nono.

"I'm very sincere towards you..."

Danzo said sincerely, "Of course, you still have a choice. Wood Release is very important to Konoha. Even if you disagree, I will only seal your memories of tonight."

"What are you talking about?"

Minato chuckled to himself. He had come here today to confirm the other party's identity as a Hidden Cloud Village member.

"As a member of Konoha, how could I possibly collude with those bastards from Kumogakure? Those despicable Kumogakure dare to impersonate Konoha's Anbu! And they've secretly recruited so many people!"

"It seems we can't reach an agreement... This is really unacceptable. Even if you possess two bloodlines, you're only five years old now."

Danzo sighed regretfully and waved his hand: "Go, but don't harm him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding ninjas suddenly rushed towards Minato at incredible speed.

However, the water gate was even faster!

Two laser beams swept across the crowd in an instant, followed by a deafening explosion. In a flash, most of the Root ninjas around were killed or wounded!

The blood inheritance limit…

What an enviable power!

Upon seeing this, a hint of infatuation flashed in Danzo's eyes.

Before the infatuation in his eyes had faded, a foot appeared in front of him.

Bang!

Minato kicked out, sending Danzo flying backward like a cannonball, crashing into the wall.

"Oh no! Protect Lord Danzo!" a ninja shouted.

"Protect?"

Minato chuckled, his figure suddenly appearing behind the ninja: "Have you... ever been kicked at the speed of light?"

Bang!

With another powerful kick, Minato broke the opponent's neck, and at the same time, he raised his hand and fired a laser in Danzo's direction.

"No, this guy is too fast!"

whoosh-

Danzo emerged from the large crater in the wall, his face streaked with blood, as he dodged the explosion caused by the laser, his gaze fixed menacingly on Minato's direction.

"No need to hold back, just annihilate them!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand to form a hand seal, but in the next instant, Minato's foot appeared in front of him once again.

That terrifying speed was almost like teleportation!

It happened so fast that he didn't even have time to blink before the other person kicked him in the nose again!

"How can hand seals be faster than no hand seals at all?"

Minato's figure flashed continuously, his gleaming short sword reaping the lives of Root ninjas.

Suddenly, he paused. A ninja with a pineapple-shaped hairstyle formed a hand seal and used the shadows extending from his feet to freeze Minato in place.

"I've got him under control!"

"Well done, deer!"

Danzo's voice boomed as he took two kicks from Minato in quick succession, feeling as if his head was about to explode.

What followed was overwhelming terror!

He had already overestimated Minato's strength as much as possible, but he didn't expect that the opponent would have such terrifying speed!

Unless it is foreseen in advance, that speed is simply beyond human reaction time!

This kid has actually been hiding his true strength all along!

At his age... how could he possibly hold back?

Thankfully, it's all over now...

No matter how fast you go, it's meaningless if you can't move!

"That damned Cloud Village! They even stole the Nara clan's secret techniques!"

Minato gave the ninja a strange look, and then a dazzling light suddenly burst forth from beneath his feet…

Under the light, the shadow vanished instantly.

Upon seeing this, Danzo turned and ran without hesitation!

Minato smiled gently and reappeared in front of Danzo, but did not launch an attack.

Danzo stopped abruptly, quickly raising his hand: "I'm sorry, it was my fault! Can we make peace?"

Minato was taken aback by these words, and instinctively replied, "At this moment? You must be joking!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo suddenly pulled out a kunai and stabbed it at Minato.

Just then, Tsunade and her group finally arrived at the battlefield.

"No! Danzo! Stop right now!"

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened and he roared angrily, while Tsunade's heart tightened as well.

puff!

The next instant, Danzo's head shot into the sky! His eyes still held a trace of disbelief.
