Chapter 690:

“Cough-Cough… *Puff…*” Danzo coughed out blood and staggered…

Looking at the arm wrapped in lightning running through his chest, his face was filled with surprise and indignation.

Before Danzo could recover from the shock, a chilling voice reached his ears, “Whosoever tarnishes the honor of the village must be punished… And Danzo… what you have done is vile enough to deserve a thousand death!”

“Haha… hahahaha…” Danzo laughed madly… then he used Swift Release and took a distance.

But the other Anbu shinobis didn’t give him any chance to escape, they immediately caught up with him and surrounded him.

Kakashi said coldly, “It’s game over Danzo…”

Undoubtedly it was the tacit cooperation of Itachi and Kakashi that made the attack successful… The Kunai was thrown Kakashi, the moment Danzo turned his head to see the trajectory of the kunai, Danzo, and Itachi’s line of sight met, and Itachi used his Sharingan to cast a Genjutsu on Danzo. Danzo didn’t expect this and was caught in the Genjutsu for a brief moment, and by the time he broke free of the Genjutsu, Kakashi appeared in front of his using the Flying Raijin Jutsu and directly used Chidori to pierce his chest.

At this time Danzo’s laughter finally stopped, he covered his wounded chest with his arm, and while gnashing his teeth in anger he shouted two names in his heart, ‘Hatake Kakashi…! Uchiha Itachi!’

In fact, what the Anbus didn’t know was that Danzo intended to get injured at their hands, his intention was to let these incompetent Anbu shinobis injure him, and then run away, such that these incompetent shinobi can pass back the information about his weakness back at the village…

If Konoha confirms that there is indeed some problem in his soul and because of it he is weakened, then perhaps Amatsukami will also believe in the rumors and Homusubi will finally come after him.

This was his plan, and he wanted to get injured willingly… but what he didn’t expect was that before he could implement it, he was truly severely injured by Kakashi… Danzo didn’t really care about his injury all that much, what annoyed him is the fact that Kakashi was able to injure him!

And Uchiha Itachi, even if for just a brief moment, the brat was able to put him in a Genjutsu! It must not be forgotten that Danzo has Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and yet the Itachi, with just his three tomoe Sharingan was able to put him under a Genjutsu… and this greatly annoyed…. It’s as if, even if he has become extremely strong, he can still be exploited by these bunch of trashes!

Danzo forcible suppressed his surging anger, and spoke in a trembling tone, “I… I said it already… I am not Danzo! You… you people can’t treat me like this!”

Kakashi said in an indifferent tone, “Perhaps you are right… In that case, why don’t you surrender? If it is really as you say, and you are not him, then you won’t be harmed…. But if not? Then I suppose I don’t need to explain any further…. Regardless, you are coming with us, whether willingly in bounds, or unwillingly, as a corpse!”

Danzo’s face paled in fear, and he shook his head, “No… you people are going to throw me into a prison, and then experiment on me… I just want to live… I have nothing to do with any of this, I am just a victim of the ritual!”

Kakashi said, “These words of yours… Save it for Hokage-sama…”

“Explain to your Hokage-sama?” Danzo muttered, then said in a sarcastic tone, “It was also Konoha’s Hokage who caught me, and used me for the ritual, right?”

Hearing Danzo’s remark, Kakashi fell silent.

The surrounding Konoha Shinobi also hesitated after hearing this remark… They couldn’t refute the other’s words… Even if Shimura Danzo wasn’t the official, he was still the temporary acting Hokage…

At the same time, seeing Danzo’s reaction, the Anbu shinobi felt that the rumors about him might be true… it’s really possible that several souls are latched inside his body and those souls are fighting to take control of his body.

As the Anbu shinobi were a little distracted, he immediately seized this opportunity and quickly used the swift release to run away!

And since he had already had his lesson Danzo didn’t dare to underestimate Kakashi and the others.

Hence a chasing battle began.

Among Konoha’s shinobi, only Kakashi thanks to his Flying Raijin was fast enough to keep up with Danzo’s Swift Release, but Danzo had strengthened his vigilance to the utmost, and since he was using his fastest speed possible, so, even Kakashi wasn’t able to catch him.

After a while of chasing and fleeing, the Anbus came to a stop in front of a pool of blood.

Hayate squatted down beside the pool of blood, and after checking it, he said, “It’s his blood… but this is the last stain, I don’t see anything after this… it seems Danzo managed to temporarily stop the bleeding…”

Yugao scratched her head, and said helplessly, “This is troubling… his speed is already so fast that we can barely keep up, and now even the trail of blood stains is also gone… at this rate, we are never going to be able to catch him!”

At this time, Kurenai asked with a doubtful expression, “Kakashi… Your Chidori ran through his chest, technically, Chidori should have punctured his heart, which means certain death… why is he still alive?”

Kakashi shook his head, “I don’t know either…”

Yugao muttered, “Well, even if he isn’t dead, he is at least injured… the trail of blood on the way was clear proof…”

Itachi shook his head, “From the looks of it, although he is injured, given how far he managed to outrun us, it seems he isn’t affected at all!”

Hayate questioned doubtfully, “But how is that possible?”

Itachi answered, “Maybe the effect of some Kekkei Genkai he has absorbed… we don’t have information about all the Kekkei Genkai that he has absorbed through the ritual, right?”

Everyone felt that Itachi’s reasoning was correct…

After thinking it over, Kakashi said to Kurenai, “Send the information we have so far back to the village, and we will continue the search and hunt operation of Shimura Danzo!”

Kurenai nodded and did what was asked of her.

Then Team Ro continued the search.
