Yakushi Nonou?
Hearing this name, a flash of light went through Danzo's mind. Information came rushing in, and in an instant, he understood everything. He asked in shock, "You are that child from back then?"
"It seems that Danzo-sama remembers."
Yakushi Kabuto licked his lips, reached out and snapped the spine of a Root ninja, and said with a smile, "I wonder if you are feeling guilty or regretful now?"
Leaving the safe orphanage, being forced to become a spy, constantly worrying about being exposed, fighting with enemies, having no one to rely on, and living in anxiety and deception day and night... Yakushi Kabuto didn't hate because of this.
He could even accept being silenced because he wasn't trusted.
He who kills will be killed. Those who betray the trust of others deserve to be betrayed. Yakushi Kabuto had long foreseen his fate as a spy.
But the worst thing was that he shouldn't have been tricked into killing Nonou-sama. Danzo chose this most cruel method, completely playing with their fate and beliefs.
"Regret?" Danzo's face was as dark as water. "I only regret entrusting the wrong person and not being able to kill you, you bastard."
Back then, Kabuto and Yakushi Nonou's loose ends were left to Orochimaru, who was still in the Root, to deal with. He never expected that Orochimaru's personality would actually spare Yakushi Kabuto and even take him under his wing.
And what was even more surprising was that in just less than a year, Yakushi Kabuto had grown from an ordinary Chunin to what he was now.
Leaving aside the amount of chakra, Sage Art, a term that even he was unfamiliar with, Yakushi Kabuto was able to learn it in such a short time.
"You're really stubborn, but that's exactly what I want. If you were crying and begging for forgiveness, I would be at a loss."
Yakushi Kabuto's smile turned cold. Taking advantage of Danzo's inability to suppress the anger in his heart, he quickly made hand seals.
In an instant, a thick earth spear suddenly rose up under Danzo's body. There was no sign of it at all, and the speed was so fast that even Danzo couldn't react in time. He was directly pierced through, and the wound in his waist and abdomen was extremely terrifying.
"Danzo-sama?"
"You bastard, you actually..."
"..."
The Root ninjas' expressions changed drastically. They couldn't believe that their leader had died so easily. This was someone who was on par with the Third Hokage.
In addition to their anger, they looked at Yakushi Kabuto with a hint of fear in their eyes.
Yakushi Kabuto was also surprised. He didn't expect it to be so easy. Although Sage Art was more subtle and sudden than ordinary chakra attacks, the opponent was Danzo after all. Even if he was old, his experience wouldn't decline because of it.
Playing dead? Or is there something else strange?
Yakushi Kabuto made hand seals. The earth seemed to be given life, and the earth spear, with Danzo's body impaled on it, moved towards him.
"Damn it, stop him!" "..."
Seeing that Yakushi Kabuto still wanted to desecrate Danzo's body, the Root ninjas were all furious. Shurikens, exploding tags, and the five basic nature ninjutsu... were fired at Yakushi Kabuto like crazy.
But at almost the same time, countless sharp spikes shot out from the rocks above and below, making the Root ninjas in a panic. They could only watch helplessly as Yakushi Kabuto dodged the ninjutsu and came to Danzo's body.
"Whether it's real or fake, we'll know when we see it."...
Yakushi Kabuto didn't hesitate. Two long snakes emerged from his sleeves, tearing Danzo out of the earth spear. Blood splattered everywhere, and his internal organs and intestines were scattered all over the ground.
But before he could check, the corpse turned into an illusion and disappeared into the air.
Yakushi Kabuto's eyes narrowed, and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart. He subconsciously turned his body, but a kunai pierced straight into his back.
Pain instantly filled his mind. Yakushi Kabuto's mouth oozed blood. He slammed his arm back, sending the person behind him flying away. He reached his other hand to his back, and a green light flickered in his palm.
His lung was punctured, and his heart was cut... They were healing at an extremely fast rate.
Seeing this, Danzo decisively retreated, and his heart was filled with dread.
'Izanagi' was useful, but each use would consume a Sharingan. He hadn't successfully transplanted First Hokage cells yet, and he only transplanted one, just like Kakashi.
He originally thought of faking his death or taking the opportunity to kill Yakushi Kabuto, but now, both of these ideas had failed.
This Sage Mode was more domineering than he had imagined.
"What are you still staring at?" After Danzo returned to the Root ninja group, he issued orders one after another. The gathered Root ninjas immediately had a leader and began to attack and defend in an orderly manner.
In comparison, Yakushi Kabuto's attacks were not as fierce as before in order to heal his injuries. He dodged left and right under the lightning and fire released by the Root ninjas.
The battle was at a stalemate.
Yakushi Kabuto pursed his lips and slowly blocked the Root's attacks. Every time he turned defense into offense, he would take one or two lives.
But the situation wasn't as optimistic as it seemed. If his enemies were only Root ninjas, he would naturally have the opportunity to kill them one by one. But if the time was delayed long enough, reinforcements from Konoha Village would arrive.
"Tch, as expected, he's not that easy to kill."
Yakushi Kabuto licked his lips. His arm suddenly hurt, and he immediately stopped hesitating and shouted,
"Danzo-sama, since you don't want to die, then live with this shattered Root."
"Sage Art: Inorganic Reincarnation!"
Feeling the huge energy fluctuation, everyone present changed their expressions. Danzo shouted sharply, "Stop him!!!"
No longer caring about formation orders, all the Root ninjas released ninjutsu with all their strength. Water streams, stone spears... shot straight at Yakushi Kabuto.
But Yakushi Kabuto had been accumulating power for a long time, so how could they be in time?
When he was injured, he had already accepted the fact that he couldn't kill Danzo tonight.
Or rather, this was just a test. How could he let Danzo die easily if he didn't see Danzo's beliefs shattered and the things he cherished taken away one by one?
Tonight was just the beginning.
Didn't you want to be Hokage? Then I'll destroy the Root that you rely on.
The accumulated Sage Art chakra was released in an instant. The earth seemed to grow countless tentacles, raging wildly in this underground cave. In an instant, the foundation that sustained this cave was completely destroyed, and tons of earth and rocks collapsed from the cave roof.
Dodging the falling rocks, Yakushi Kabuto rose into the air as if no one else was there in the dust and smoke, and said with a smile,
"Danzo-sama, I wonder if you are satisfied now."
The only response he received was the rumbling of the ground, but Yakushi Kabuto was already very satisfied.
Of course, if he wasn't satisfied, there was nothing he could do. The white snake in his sleeve reminded him that Konoha's reinforcements had arrived. If he didn't leave now, he wouldn't be able to leave even if he wanted to.
After all, the other two Sannin were still in the village. Yakushi Kabuto didn't want to face them.
Soon, Yakushi Kabuto came to the ground, threw down the white snake in his sleeve, and ran all the way towards the northwest of the village.
After this big commotion, he would be a Konoha rogue ninja, and Orochimaru-sama's mission was for him to enter the Akatsuki organization as a rogue ninja and collect information.
