Chapter 719: Danzo’s Uneasiness

Hokage Rock.

On the statue of Hiruzen, as the Hokage Rock shook slightly, Danzo's eye flicker, and his sinister gaze suddenly shot towards the direction of the Anbu’s Headquarters.

“That’s…”

Fugaku next to him also immediately noticed the abnormality. His dark pupils suddenly turned into black and red 3-tomoe, and he stared there.

At Anbu’s Headquarters, the violent explosion shattered all the glass in the building to pieces. With the chaotic and piercing sound, thick black smoke and surging firelight diffused out of the broken windows, and rose into the sky.

Listening to the dull roar of explosions coming from that direction, Danzo’s old bark-like face slowly revealed a cold smile: “Clan Head Fugaku, how is it?”

Fugaku’s expression became extremely ugly: “Danzo, you are playing with fire!”

At first, Fugaku only thought that Danzo was planning to attack the Military Police Force’s Headquarters and cause some chaos, while him and his subordinates ambushed Minato and beheaded him.

But he didn't expect that his first step would be to attack the Anbu’s Headquarters!

“Hehehehe…”

Danzo sneered again and again, “Clan Head Fugaku, this explosion is enough to blow up the Anbu’s Headquarters and kill all the Anbu’s Shinobi inside!”

“What?” Fugaku was taken aback and his eyes quickly shifted from Danzo’s old face to the Anbu’s Headquarters.

There, black smoke billowed and the fire shot into the sky, but the Anbu’s Headquarters still stood amidst the black smoke and fire, and didn’t turn into ruins.

‘Is there any misunderstanding in the middle?’

Fugaku turned to look at Danzo in confusion, and then suddenly realized that this old guy only had one eye left, plus his old age and dimness, Fugaku is afraid that he can only see the black smoke and firelight rising into the sky. As for the Anbu’s Headquarters, which is covered in black smoke and firelight, there’s no way he can see it, right?

After all, Danzo no longer has Sharingan!

Danzo squinted his one eye. He indeed can’t see the Anbu’s Headquarters, which is covered by black smoke and shrouded in flames. However, thinking of the power of Nue's self-destruction, he smiled happily in his heart and continued: “Clan Head Fugaku, your Military Police Force deserves the greatest credit for this explosion!”

A thought flashed through Fugaku’s mind when he heard this: “Is that so?”

He suddenly remembered Danzo's strange request a few months ago, to contribute the Chakra of the Military Police Force’s elites…

‘But…’

Fugaku’s eyes turned weird: ‘Those elites are all acting!’

‘Their Chakra wasn’t absorbed even for a bit at all!’

‘Even Danzo’s ten men have already been replaced by Yondaime Hokage!’

‘Then, then…’

‘Is the explosion at the Anbu’s Headquarters fake?’

Fugaku was horrified when he thought about it!

Danzo didn’t know what Fugaku was thinking, so he explained to himself: “The Gozu Tenno, which Root has researched over the years, is actually a Summoning Technique that connects to different spaces. In that space, there is a kind of Summoned Beast called Nue, this kind of psychic beast can grow rapidly by absorbing the Chakra of Shinobi. Clan Head Fugaku, if not for the Military Police Force, this explosion would not be so gorgeous!”

“Hehe, hehehe.” Fugaku laughed dryly and wanted to say something, but… ‘It’s really hard to expose such arrogant guy!’

“This explosion is just the beginning, what follows is…”

Danzo’s voice suddenly stopped. Although he is old and frail, Danzo has a good memory, and he suddenly thought of ita very important thing!

‘According to the plan, shouldn't the first place to explode be my Root’s Headquarters?’

‘Why did it become the Anbu’s Headquarters?!’

‘Did something unexpected happen?’

In the midst of uncertainty, a burst of fire suddenly shot up into the sky from a very far distance, followed by the violent explosion sound that echoed throughout the village!

Danzo squinted to look, and saw that the direction is where his Root’s Headquarters is!

Danzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief, ‘Although the order was wrong, the place where it should explode has exploded!’

“What is in that direction?” Fugaku asked Danzo very cooperatively when he stopped talking.

“It’s Root’s Headquarters.” Danzo said calmly.

“Your Root?”

Fugaku understood immediately, “Did you deliberately blow that place up to clear your suspicions?”

Danzo said with a smile: “Yes, in this way, Yondaime has no reason to suspect that I am related to this explosion!”

Fugaku narrowed his eyes and asked: “Except for Anbu, Root and my Military Police Force, there should be other places, right?”

“Of course.”

Danzo said with a smile, “Konoha Hospital, Academy, Hokage Tower…”

Listening to the names of these places, Fugaku’s forehead oozes with cold sweat.

“Are you scared?”

Danzo looked at him disdainfully, “If you want to achieve successful coup-d’état and ascend to power through violent means, pure force alone is not enough.”

How could he drive Minato out of the Hokage’s position without blowing up the village into chaos and stirring up public opinion?

These are all basic exercises for him!

“Advisor Danzo, have you considered the consequences if the plan failed?” Fugaku asked.

“Failed?”

Danzo asked with a smile, “Why failed?”

‘Because I am a spy.’

Fugaku's eyes were complicated.

Danzo stared at him, vaguely aware that something was wrong.

“Danzo-sama!”

At this moment, a subordinate suddenly appeared, knelt down on one knee and said d, “The Anbu’s Headquarters building was not completely blown up!”

Although Danzo was dim-sighted the subordinates he brought with him have great sight!

“What?” Danzo was startled.

‘It’s not blown up?’

‘How is it possible?’

‘Nue has absorbed dozens of Jonin and dozens of Chunin’s Chakra. When these Chakra exploded in an instant, its power should be comparable with a small Bijudama. How can a mere Anbu’s Headquarters survive after being hit by such explosion?’

Danzo looked suspiciously towards the direction of the Anbu’s Headquarters building, and doubts flashed in his eye: ‘Don’t tell me… My man was discovered, so he self-destructs in advance, and didn’t blow up the Anbu’s Headquarters?’

In doubt, Danzo turned to look at the Academy again.

In the large square in front of the Academy, countless and densely packed black spots can be vaguely seen. Those black spots are the freshmen of the Academy and the parents of the new students. According to the usual practice, they should be listening to the speech of Minato at this moment.

Danzo stared there, waiting uneasily, and his brows furrowing tighter and tighter.

‘Why?’

‘Why hasn’t the Academy exploded yet?!’

Danzo suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Konoha Hospital.

‘There was no explosion either!’

‘How about Hokage Tower?’

Danzo lowered his head and looked at the nearby Hokage Tower.

People were coming and going in front of the Hokage Tower, and it is still lively and peaceful, without the slightest smell of fireworks.

‘What’s going on?!’

Danzo’s face suddenly darkened.

At this moment, he suddenly turned his head to look at Fugaku.

Fugaku opened his 3-Tomoe Sharingan, and looked at Danzo expressionlessly.

“You…”

Danzo had faint veins popping up on his forehead. He tried his best to suppress his anger and asked coldly, “It’s you, Uchiha Fugaku! You dare to betray me!!”

“Betray you?”

Fugaku slowly shook his head, and said, “Advisor Danzo, before this moment, I didn’t know the existence of Nue, nor what exactly was Nue is, let alone where you put Nue!”

Hearing this, Danzo was stunned, ‘That’s right, the places I carefully select are kept secret. Apart from myself, there are only those ten and the fish shop who sent the message who know about it, but with Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal’s existence, it is absolutely impossible for those guys to betray me!’

‘Then, where is the problem?’

When Danzo was angry, confused, uneasy, and scared, he heard Fugaku continue, “Besides, I have never been on your side.”

“???”

Danzo’s one eye widened violently.
