Chapter 66: Smart Fox

250 Powerstones = One Bonus Chapter

Roots Headquarters;

Bang!

Danzo crushed the chair underneath him and stood up.

"Who is so bold as to conspire against me? Who?"

His anger was boiling. The Root Ninjas remained silent as they didn’t want to bear his anger.

Danzo clenched his fists and said.

"No, I must find that person. I must prove my innocence."

’But am I....Innocent?’

Danzo could convince himself that he was doing the right thing. He could convince Homura and Koharu and even Hiruzen to a certain degree.

But he couldn’t convince the public.

Through his trusted men, he already understood his situation.

Shikaku had laid out a trap for him. If he went to the office to clear his name or even for the meeting, he would immediately be judged by the Daimyo.

He only needed to let Inochi read his mind to clear his name.

But would he?

Does he dare to do that?

No! He absolutely wouldn’t do that. This was no different than putting him in burning oil and boiling him from the inside and out.

Everyone in the village would hate him, and he would be captured or killed by Jiraiya and that Jinchuriki.

As much as he liked to put himself above them, he knew he wasn’t. His only trump was Izanagi.

This would work for sure, but he would be fighting two people.

With the healing capacity that Naruto had shown, he wouldn’t be afraid of sneak attacks.

More importantly, both were Sages. He could fight one, but two would be too much for him.

This was the reason why Naruto could openly attack the elders and put the blame on Danzo without caring about any repercussions.

Because there was no way Danzo would ever let anyone read his mind. His head was too filthy and full of wrong ideas.

Previously, there was at least Hiruzen to save him. But now, with Hiruzen dead, Danzo lost his last straw for clearing his name.

As Daimyo previously pointed out, Hashirama could kill Madara for his village, but Hiruzen couldn’t.

That’s the difference between them.

’No, no, no, I still have a chance. That brat is quite close to the Hyuga clan girl. I can take her and use her to lure him in.’

Danzo touched his left eye and thought.

’With this eye, I can control him. He is not a perfect Jinchuriki. He is just using Nine-Tails chakra taken by his parents.’

’Besides, I also have Wood Release. As long as I can take him down, Jiraiya is nothing to fear.’

’Since I’m already pushed into this situation, I will just take the position of Hokage by force.’

At this moment, his face became absolutely wretched as he muttered.

"Nobody, nobody can stop me from becoming the Hokage."

He looked at his loyal soldiers and said.

"Find Hinata Hyuga’s position and capture her! We must capture her at any cost. Torune, Fu, I will leave this task to you."

"Bring her to the east side of the Forest of Death. Only by capturing or controlling the Jinchuriki can I take the position of the Hokage."

This time, Danzo no longer cared about holding back.

His Roots had more than enough members to fight Anbu.

As long as he could capture the Jinchuriki and kill Jiraiya, the Konoha wouldn’t risk a civil war with them.

With this eye, he could even control the Daimyo. So, there was no reason to worry about anything.

Of course, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t be found out, but what did he care about it anymore?

His reputation was already ruined; he couldn’t let others see his mind, and he still wanted to become Hokage.

With his situation, he could only take it by force.

"Yes!"

Torune and Fu replied at the same time. They turned around and left the Root’s headquarters immediately.

He looked at the other Root soldiers and said.

"Follow me!"

Without raising a single question, they all followed him.

———————

Just as Naruto was feeling the changes in his body, he suddenly paused.

’Is this the Sensory Ability of an Otsutsuki?’

He immediately sensed several new chakra signatures coming out of the underground.

As he sensed their movements, Naruto turned towards Kakashi and said.

"Kakashi-sensei, it seems like someone is already making his move. That guy earlier killed the Elders."

"Who knows who he will kill next, especially with that army of his. I will follow him. Get Pervy Sage ready!"

Hearing his words, Kakashi instantly recognized Danzo from his words. But he didn’t sense Danzo’s presence.

’It seems like whatever happened to Naruto not only increased his strength but also unlocked a new kind of sensory ability?’

"Alright! Give me your recently used Kunai. I use this to track your position."

Kakashi said.

Naruto nodded and took out a Kunai. Kakashi instantly put the Kunai into his holster and rushed towards the Hokage’s Office.

At the same time, Naruto silently followed Danzo. He knew some of the Otsutsuki’s powers.

One was that they could hide their presence completely.

His current Chakra was quite messy. It turned out his future self, or rather Kurama from the future, did something extraordinary.

He managed to merge the Six Paths Senjutsu Chakra with the Ashura Chakra that Naruto temporarily had in that battle world.

By merging the Six Paths portion of the Senjutsu Chakra with the Ashura Chakra, he formed a small portion of pure Six Paths Chakra.

He used Senjutsu Chakra to contain the Six Paths and Ashura Chakra in the Chakra Ball their future selves sent to the past.

When that Chakra Ball merged with Naruto, that Senjutsu Chakra immediately pulled in the Ashura Chakra inside his body.

After all, that’s how Hagoromo managed to inject his Chakra into Naruto and Sasuke. Kurama followed the exact pattern but with Senjutsu Chakra.

But instead of using Ashura’s residual Chakra to enhance Naruto’s strength, he used the future Six Paths of Ashura Chakra to assimilate past Ashura’s Chakra.

Doing so, he managed to form seventy-five percent Otsutsuki Chakra in Naruto’s body.

But he didn’t use this Chakra to boost Naruto’s strength.

No, Kurama did exactly what Otsutsuki loved doing.

After all, he was a fox who had mastered Nuclear Physics.
