Chapter 514: Aftermath

Earlier than Fujin and the Root ninjas entered right into a struggle, Hiruzen alongside along with his Anbu Guards reached the Root Headquarters. Their eyes widened as they observed the state of the highest three underground flooring of the bottom. The partitions and flooring of the bottom had nearly totally collapsed! Hiruzen rapidly sensed Danzo and flickered in direction of him.

He appeared behind him and requested, “Danzo, what occurred right here?”

Danzo was already irritated. As quickly as he left the bottom, he had Fu sense the attacker. Sadly, Fu could not sense anybody anymore. It was as if the attacker had disappeared in skinny air. In fact, seeing the extent of assault, Danzo speculated that the attacker was too good at hiding himself and managed to flee in the course of the destruction.

On listening to Hiruzen’s query, Danzo answered, “My headquarters was attacked!”

Hiruzen requested, “By whom? Did you already kill the attacker?”

Danzo mentioned, “No. He disappeared. I am unable to sense his chakra signature.”

Shock appeared on Hiruzen’s face. He could not assist however say, “You imply, somebody attacked the Root Headquarters when you have been inside it and left earlier than you might even see what he regarded like?”

To say Hiruzen was stunned was an understatement. Whereas some considered Danzo as weak and a relic of the previous, he knew very nicely how robust Danzo nonetheless was. He could not assist however surprise if Danzo was sleeping when the assault occurred. He mentioned, “Inform me all the things because it occurred.”

Danzo knowledgeable him about immediately detecting the chakra signature and the huge Lightning flood that adopted seconds later. Hiruzen fell silent. His expression turned severe as he learnt how robust the assault was. He did not suspect Danzo as he had felt the chakra spike as nicely.

He mentioned, “This degree of assault It will possibly solely be finished by a Jinchuriki. No different ninja has sufficient chakra to do one thing like this and nonetheless get away. Except”

Danzo accomplished Hiruzen’s phrases, “Except they’ve Sensei’s sword.”

A frown appeared on his face as he mentioned, “However Sensei’s sword is in Ame. Why would Hanzo do one thing like this? It is unnecessary for him to impress Konoha like this.”

Hiruzen added, “Except he has allied with another Main Village to create hassle for us. Or if an unbelievable expertise has appeared in Ame and Hanzo has develop into bold as soon as once more.”

A frown appeared on Danzo’s face as he considered that risk, ‘Simply Hanzo alone is quite a lot of hassle. If he will get a rank S below him, then he’ll develop into much more troublesome to cope with. Nevertheless, why is he making an attempt to choose on me? Could not he simply have attacked anybody else to ascertain status? Some issues nonetheless do not add up.

Or may or not it’s that Kumo despatched certainly one of their Jinchurikis and is making an attempt to set us up in opposition to Hanzo? Nevertheless, how can a Jinchuriki infiltrate Konoha utterly undetected? That ought to be not possible.’

Slowly, extra ninjas started arriving. Hiruzen handed instructions to clear up the particles within the destroyed base. Danzo had already despatched certainly one of his subordinates to tell the ninjas within the Labs to seal the place and hold different ninjas away from it.

The truth is, Danzo hoped that the attacker would goal his subordinate who was transferring alone in order that he may see who it was. Sadly, nobody attacked.

After a number of squads had appeared, Fujin appeared as nicely. He straight met up with Hiruzen and requested with a frown, “Somebody attacked the Root headquarters?”

Hiruzen nodded. He observed the annoyance on Fujin’s face and questioned, ‘Why does he look so irritated? Is it associated to this assault or one thing else?’

Man’s eyes widened momentarily. He mentioned softly, “It seems like somebody is concentrating on the Root. To suppose that the culprits could not be caught.”

He checked out Fujin and mentioned, “Thanks for letting me know. Normally, Kakashi fills me in on these items, however he has been away on a mission.”

Fujin nodded and mentioned, “No worries. Simply watch out. I wasn’t too involved in regards to the state of affairs earlier, however the destruction right here is insane. If the culprits are attempting to remove high-level ninjas within the village, then we might be focused as nicely. I doubt it will be a straightforward struggle. Much more so if he assaults us when we’ve to guard others”

Man may really feel the seriousness in Fujin’s voice. He mentioned, “I will be cautious. I suppose I will must ease up on the coaching for a bit. You watch out too.”

Fujin nodded.

Whereas Man and Fujin have been chatting, Danzo and Hiruzen have been monitoring the search. Each have been involved as nothing was discovered. Evidently, Danzo’s temper was past horrible. Sadly, there wasn’t something he may do to search out the attacker. Nor may he take his anger out on another person. This was a grave risk his Root was going through and but he was helpless and with none lead that he may pursue instantly.

Since nothing was discovered, Hiruzen deployed some Anbu ninjas and despatched the remaining ninjas again. Fujin, the clan leaders and the elders have been known as to Hiruzen’s workplace for a fast assembly. Fujin mentioned farewell to Man and flickered to Hiruzen’s workplace. As soon as everybody arrived, Hiruzen knowledgeable everybody in regards to the occasions of that evening.

Hiruzen’s workplace turned silent. Everybody besides Fujin, Hiruzen and Danzo had sophisticated expressions. The clan leaders thought of what would have occurred if such an assault had been geared toward their clan compounds. They realized that their clans would have unimaginable losses! In any case, even somebody like Danzo wasn’t in a position to do a lot apart from shield himself.

Hiruzen observed Fujin’s expression however did not discover something odd. With Fujin’s power and talents, dodging such an assault would not be a tough process. Even when his home was sneak attacked the identical manner, there was a very good probability that his home would truly survive the hit! Whereas there have been locations in Konoha with extra seals than in Fujin’s home, nothing got here shut by way of the density of the seals!

Seeing that nobody was saying something, Hiruzen requested, “Does anybody have any concepts on what we should always do additional?”

Hiruzen hoped for Shikaku to determine one thing out. Sadly, the state of affairs did not make any sense to him both. It was simply too peculiar. Two large assaults had occurred and so they did not even know who was behind it other than some speculations. And even the speculations have been such that Konoha could not take motion simply. He did not say something.

Seeing that nobody was saying something, Fujin mentioned, “I’ve one thing that I used to be questioning about.”
