The metal sphere accelerated instantly in the magnetic field, striking the remaining Root guards from a distance with the speed of a thunderbolt.
One of them tried to make a desperate last stand, releasing a massive swarm of black insects to block the attack.
As a result, under the attack of the five Railgun metal spheres, the massive black insect swarm turned into a sky-rocketing display of fiery stars.
Blue lightning, red flames, shattered Ninja limbs...
This Aburame clan Ninja who manipulated insects lay miserably on the ground, clinging to life with only half a body remaining.
Another RootJonin, who had been hit dead center, didn't even leave behind a piece of shredded meat.
Elder Uchiha Riyao was also agape with astonishment at this moment.
"This Uchiha Mikoto was clearly just a young Chunin with little reputation before, so how is it that her current strength seems to even surpass that of an Elite Jonin?"
The destructive power of this Lightning Release, combined with the mysterious masked Ninja's multiple Lightning Release techniques, was simply terrifyingly strong!
Outside the Four Purple Flame Formation's sealing barrier, Uchiha Fugaku, Mikoto, the Third Elder, and the RootNinjas were fighting intensely.
Inside the Four Purple Flame Formation, the few people besieging Danzo were even more relentless.
The moment Uchiha Kagami made a move, he had no intention of holding back.
Without any wasted motion, he smashed a set of UchihaFire ReleaseNinjutsu right at Danzo Shimura's head.
Because Kagami was an Edo Tensei, he was not afraid of injury, so he wildly bore the searing heat of the flames and used sword techniques to attack at close range.
Uchiha Shinji on the side was also performing with calm, extraordinary skill.
He cooperated tacitly with Uchiha Kagami, interspersing multiple Earth ReleaseNinjutsu.
Rock spikes emerged from the ground at high speed, and Uchiha Shinji used his best Earth Release to launch a pincer attack on Danzo from the front and back.
In the flames, Danzo, who had been slashed by Kagami, let out a painful grunt.
Danzo first kicked Kagami away with force, then quickly formed hand seals to counterattack with Water Release.
Danzo wanted to extinguish the fire, but Uchiha Fucheng would not give him any chance.
He directly used the Mangekyo to launch a sneak attack from Danzo's blind spot.
[Mangekyo · Eight Thunder Arrows]
This sneak attack used a Mangekyo pupil technique from the very start, with special lightning tracking and striking Danzo.
Danzo, who was in the flames, was heavily injured, with both fire and electricity erupting from his body.
Danzo lasted less than a second in the flames before collapsing to the ground in pain.
Fucheng did not receive a system notification!
He would not let his guard down.
He first used Wind Release to increase the power of the Fire Release.
A strong wind blew up, and the red flames released by Uchiha Kagami immediately turned into the color of high-temperature flames mixed with red and blue.
Trapped in the flames, Danzo Shimura struggled in place in pain.
He barely managed to move two meters before stopping completely.
Was Danzo dead?
Just looking at the corpse, Fucheng really didn't know, but he knew that his notification had not appeared.
Regardless of whether he was truly dead or not, Fucheng intended to continue beating the corpse!
[Wind Release · Wind Cutter Technique]
As seven or eight huge wind blades blew past, Danzo Shimura in the flames was sliced into four pieces of a corpse.
Broken flesh and blood spun and were thrown out of the flames.
Three pieces landed beside Uchiha Kagami and Shinji.
A piece of a severed leg collided with the Four Purple Flame Formation's sealing barrier and quickly burned to ashes.
"That's not right!"
Fucheng alerted Uchiha Kagami, "This person is not Danzo!"
Fucheng's Mangekyo had been activated the entire time.
He looked very carefully; the Danzo corpse that had been thrown out of the flames had turned into a young man with a charred face.
And under the burned clothes and bandages, in places where skin was still preserved, obvious abnormalities could be seen!
"This is not Danzo. This person isn't old, and there is also a discrepancy between his height and Danzo's." Fucheng cautiously leaned against a rock and scanned the surroundings with his Mangekyo.
He flashed to the side of the corpse and poked it with a tree branch.
"He used a special mask; it's a Root body double whose appearance was adjusted."
Uchiha Kagami's expression was grim, "Did Danzo Shimura receive the news? Could it be? We've been exposed?"
Fucheng frowned slightly, "The body double's combat power was quite ordinary; it was too easy to kill. But where did the real Danzo go?"
Uchiha Kagami analyzed calmly, "Using twenty RootNinjas to act together—Danzo shouldn't be able to afford such a price. It also doesn't make logical sense for so many people to guard only a body double."
At this moment, the Danzo body double had been killed, and the whereabouts of Danzo himself instantly became a mystery!
Fucheng had his clone dispel the "Four Purple Flame Formation" sealing barrier.
He watched as Mikoto used metal spheres to blast the last Root guard to pieces.
[Changed the fate trajectory of Aburame Tatsuma]
[Rewarded with Aburame Tatsuma's fate dice]
As the reward notification appeared, the RootAburame insect-manipulating Ninja who only had half a body left also took his last breath.
After waiting for a while, Uchiha Fugaku, who had been chasing the RootNinjas, and the Misaka Sisters, who had been surrounding the perimeter, returned to the spot one after another.
They counted the Root corpses again, confirming that all the RootNinjas had been killed.
Fucheng checked the Cursed Seal of the Individual Curse Tag on the opponents one by one and helplessly gave up on the idea of using the Yamanaka Secret Technique.
"Search carefully. Store the head of the Danzo body double in a scroll, and destroy all these other corpses with Fire Release," Fucheng ordered.
Although this sneak attack successfully wiped out all the RootNinjas, having lost so many subordinates at once, even a fool like Danzo would know that someone wanted to kill him.
Uchiha Kagami felt like he had punched the air.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Riyao, who was checking the Root items, stroked his beard shrewdly.
"Clan Leader Fucheng, don't worry yet. Through the supplies of these RootNinjas, I don't think the current Danzo has discovered us."
"Are there any new discoveries?"
Riyao smiled and nodded, "Ninja tools, military rations, and various potions are all complete. Moreover, these Ninjas even prepared camouflage clothing related to the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain, and they even prepared quite a few forehead protectors from the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain."
Fucheng nodded, "It looks like they really are going to the Land of Grass, wanting to disrupt the talks between the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain."
Riyao nodded and handed over a damaged scroll that had been found.
The scroll, which had been half-destroyed by Fire Release, still had two vague sentences left.
[Designated location, wait for contact from the Land of Grass insider, 232592...]
The string of numbers behind it should be the secret language or contact password used for meeting.
Fucheng could only use the method of elimination now.
One, Danzo was right behind this team, and the two teams did not set out at the same time.
This possibility shouldn't be high.
There were no major issues in the Village that Danzo had to deal with, so there was no need to split the Root team into two.
Second, Danzo didn't leave the Village at all; he just used a body double to lead the team and command.
This possibility existed, but the probability was not very high.
If it was inconvenient for Danzo to appear himself, he could just send his subordinates to lead the team; there was no need to force a body double to dress up as himself.
Third, Danzo was not in the Village from the beginning, and there had always been a body double in the Village.
This possibility was the greatest.
This could also explain why the Danzo that the Misaka Sisters were tracking, and the departure time of Danzo that was obtained, were completely consistent with the actions of this body double.
...
Uchiha Kagami and Uchiha Riyao were both meticulous battlefield experts.
Their analysis also suggested that Danzo was very likely outside of Konoha.
The Root body double was highly likely leading the team to rendezvous with Danzo.
With this judgment, Uchiha Fucheng was quite decisive.
"We are not going back to Konoha!"
Fucheng said firmly, "Go directly to the Land of Grass. We will go to the meeting location of the Land of Earth and the Land of Rain, and we will dig Danzo Shimura out!"
...
Fucheng led his people away from Tenchi Bridge.
And at this moment, at the meeting point of Iwagakure and the Hidden Rain Village, a group of mysterious Ninjas were secretly setting up explosive tags.
The elite Ninjas of the Iwagakure demolition squad did not yet know that a black pot was about to fall from the sky.
