And, on the other side.
Just as Orochimaru was preparing to seal this arm, he discovered that one of the Three-Tomoe eyes had closed.
"Careful, it's Izanagi!"
Orochimaru spoke, his tone very serious.
Uchiha Fugaku cursed silently, realizing they were about to enter garbage time.
And that was exactly the case!
Danzo's corpse slowly disappeared, and the Mangekyo in Uchiha Fugaku's hand, along with his arm made of Hashirama cells, almost began to dissipate at the same time.
Minato Namikaze frowned slightly upon hearing this.
Immediately after.
He pulled out one Flying Thunder God Kunai after another and tossed them casually into various corners of the room.
The next second.
The very moment Danzo reappeared, Uchiha Fugaku's Dōjutsu, 'Niwatakatumi', locked onto him. Before Danzo could even attempt to use Izanagi again, Minato Namikaze's Kunai slashed across his neck.
Danzo — dead!
In the original work, Danzo could go back and forth with Uchiha Sasuke, but in front of this team, he lasted less than two minutes, and that was even after resurrecting once.
The reason was simple!
Uchiha Sasuke could only be considered a superhuman who had mastered Chakra; after all, he rose to prominence in an era of overall peace. But this group of people was completely different; they had all participated in the Second and Third Great Ninja War.
They might not have had as much potential as Uchiha Sasuke or Uzumaki Naruto, but their methods of killing were more characteristic of the Ninja World—they could quickly find an enemy's weakness and kill with a single blow!
Especially after learning about Danzo's intel beforehand, they could naturally kill the opponent in the shortest possible time.
This time.
Because Danzo didn't have time to use Izanagi, his corpse was naturally preserved intact. Danzo didn't even have time to use the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Jutsu.
After all, Ninjas like Minato Namikaze, Orochimaru, and Uchiha Fugaku wouldn't stand foolishly in place like Uchiha Sasuke in the original work, giving him the chance to use a Sealing Jutsu.
The Danzo who had just resurrected hadn't even had time to look around before Minato Namikaze slit his throat!
Immediately following that.
Orochimaru stepped forward to seal Danzo's corpse and tossed Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyo to Uchiha Fugaku as if it were nothing.
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome!"
Hearing Uchiha Fugaku's thanks, Orochimaru was clearly a bit stunned.
After all...
This Mangekyo was originally a Uchiha item; was it really worth thanking him specifically for that?
However, thinking about the targeting the Uchiha had faced over the years, he could barely understand it.
"Alright, everyone!"
"Our next goal is to focus on collecting mission scrolls, Ninjutsu scrolls, lists of foreign spies, human experimentation data, scientific research equipment, and so on..."
"A Root member already fired a signal flare just now, so we don't have much time left."
"Anyone who gets in the way, kill them without mercy!"
"Split up, disperse!"
Immediately after.
Orochimaru briefly explained the layout of Root that he knew, and then everyone flew off in different directions.
In the following period, everyone found their respective targets!
Orochimaru found various human experimentation data, precious scientific research equipment, precious human experiment specimens, etc. Because Minato Namikaze had been Hokage, his primary targets were lists of spies outside the village, Ninjutsu scrolls, Root funding, and so on...
Uchiha Fugaku's target was the stockpile of Sharingan, the two Kakashi went straight for the mission scroll area, and Uchiha Shisui's target was the recruit training camp to see if he could rescue children who hadn't been brainwashed.
Uchiha Itachi took everything lightly, so he followed behind Uchiha Shisui.
Along the way.
Countless Root Ninjas naturally tried to block them, but they were all killed by the group with casual strikes.
Yes!
Facing this elite squad, even the weakest of them, Kakashi No. 2, was not someone they could resist.
Because they knew Hiruzen Sarutobi might arrive at any moment, everyone moved quite fast.
Twenty minutes later.
After everyone had packed all the essential items into storage scrolls, a mountain of scrolls lay before them.
Finally.
Uchiha Itachi contacted the Ninja Cat clan and temporarily summoned this batch of scrolls to the Ninja Cat clan.
"Sandaime is coming!"
Minato Namikaze had the strongest sensory ability and immediately couldn't help but say this.
Hearing this, everyone's eyes narrowed slightly.
Orochimaru licked his lips before saying in a calm tone: "Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Shisui, you three leave first."
"Temporarily place those children in the Uchiha Clan Compound. The subsequent standoff doesn't need you Uchiha involved; otherwise, if the Uchiha cause trouble twice in one night, other Ninja Clans will likely become hostile toward the Uchiha."
"For the upcoming standoff, Minato and I are enough!"
"Kakashi from our world, you should leave with the Uchiha as well; it's not appropriate to keep the fact that we are from another world for now."
"We'll discuss other matters later!"
With Orochimaru's words, the Uchiha and the others looked at each other and felt it made perfect sense.
The Uchiha had been high-profile enough tonight; it was indeed not the right time to show their faces, otherwise, if they pushed the Konoha Higher-ups too hard, it wouldn't be good if Hiruzen Sarutobi went to extremes and started a war.
Immediately after.
The three Uchiha plus Kakashi No. 1 left with the children, leaving Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze, and Kakashi behind at the scene.
Outside Root.
The three of them just stood there, waiting quietly.
Two minutes later.
Hiruzen Sarutobi led a large number of Anbu, as well as the clan heads of various Ninja Clans, and also brought the strong members of their clans.
Clearly.
This was the reason they were so slow in arriving; Hiruzen Sarutobi likely thought the Uchiha were causing trouble, so he didn't dare bring the Anbu over directly, but waited until all the Ninja Clans arrived before attacking together.
The other Ninja Clans were also very annoyed!
Damn it.
Is this night ever going to end?
The Uchiha had already caused a huge scene just a moment ago. Everyone was genuinely scared before, fearing that a civil war would break out in the entire Konoha tonight.
They had barely managed to settle things and were preparing to go back and get some rest, yet something happened at Root again?
What on earth does the Uchiha Clan want to do?
However.
When everyone arrived at Root with frustrated feelings, the moment they actually arrived, everyone's eyes froze.
It wasn't the Uchiha?
This point made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, but when they saw the real culprits, everyone's hearts instantly sank to the bottom.
These newly appeared people were even more difficult to deal with than the Uchiha!
"Orochimaru!"
"You actually dare to desecrate the former Hokage; I will definitely not let you off today!"
"I bet it on the name of the Hokage!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression was ugly.
At this moment, he even felt like cursing; he had originally thought it was the Uchiha causing trouble, never expecting it to be his own good disciple this time.
However...
The moment he saw Minato Namikaze, he felt a bit of fear in his heart.
No way!
He was afraid that Minato Namikaze would find out about Uzumaki Naruto.
And the last Kakashi made his heart sink even further.
This is trouble!
