Chapter 85: Danzo's Plan
🕑 Added 2025-05-20 14:36:09 +0000 UTCThe sudden change frightened the other three medical ninjas present. Namikaze Minato was the first to react. He instantly came behind the medical ninja, grabbed the medical ninja's arm, and pressed him to the ground in an instant.
"This feeling is... an illusion!" Namikaze Minato felt the flow of chakra in the medical ninja's body and the unnatural look in his eyes, and he understood instantly.
He held down the struggling medical ninja with one hand and formed hand seals with the other to break the illusion.
But suddenly a wind blade came out of the cave and slashed towards Uzumaki Kushina on the bed.
Namikaze Minato had no choice but to let go of the medical ninja and wanted to use the Flying Thunder God Technique to take Kushina away first, but he was shocked to suddenly find that the Flying Thunder God Technique could not be used.
"Puchi--" In an emergency, Minato instantly stood in front of Kushina, condensed chakra all over his body, and used his body to block the wind blade.
Huge lacerations appeared on Minato's arms and abdomen, and through the wounds on his abdomen, one could even see Minato's internal organs.
"Minato!" Uzumaki Kushina screamed worriedly, trying to get up with her weak body.
"Don't worry, Kushina, I'm fine." Namikaze Minato came out to comfort.
He touched his abdomen with his palm attached with chakra, and used a simple change in the fire attribute of chakra to char the wound and glue it together.
"As expected of the Fourth Hokage, not only can you use your body to resist ninjutsu, but you can also act so decisively. It seems that even if your Flying Thunder God Technique is sealed, it cannot be underestimated." A figure in a black robe walked out of the cave. The voice distorted by the mask and internal structure sounded quite strange.
"Who are you?!" Namikaze Minato asked vigilantly.
"Me?" the figure said, taking a step forward, allowing everyone present, including Uzumaki Kushina who was lying on the bed, to see clearly what was revealed from his one-eyed mask - the Sharingan.
"Sharingan?! Uchiha?!" a medical ninja exclaimed.
Hearing the medical ninja's exclamation, Danzo smiled triumphantly under his mask.
As a true pragmatic ninja, it would be extremely stupid for him to waste time talking to the enemy after the battle has begun.
At least for him who was not yet senile at this time, even speaking in a battle had to be of practical benefit to himself.
He likes plans that can kill multiple birds with one stone, just like the current plan to assassinate Minato Namikaze, which has five advantages.
The first advantage is that after killing Minato Namikaze, he will be the only one suitable to be the next Hokage.
The second benefit is that the Sharingan is revealed, and the identity of the assassin can be framed as Uchiha.
It seemed that the Uchiha had produced two geniuses, which made Danzo feel that they posed a threat to Konoha.
Restricting the Uchiha was a necessary decision that had been made since the time of the Second Hokage. These Uchiha guys had the nature of wolves and they had to be tamed into domestic dogs. If they were allowed to gain power, they would inevitably release a ferocious and white-eyed wolf.
The third benefit is that he can take this opportunity to control the Nine-Tails with the Sharingan.
The fourth benefit is that he can also use the assassination of the Fourth Hokage to propose strengthening the internal management of Konoha and increasing the strength of the Root.
The fifth benefit is… (I started to think of it, but I forgot what it was while writing. I just remember that there is definitely one more)
By making this appearance, everyone present would remember that the attacker possessed the Sharingan, thereby confusing everyone and getting rid of suspicion.
"You guys, be careful, please protect Kushina for me, and remember not to look into his eyes." Minato did not continue what the medical ninja had just said, nor did he have any intention of continuing the conversation with the masked man.
He felt that the masked man seemed to be deliberately making them think of the Uchiha clan. Could he be a defector from the Uchiha clan?
But he was not sure, so he could only think about capturing the other party first regardless of whether it was true or false.
"Yes, Hokage-sama." The three medical ninjas responded seriously.
"The Flying Thunder God Technique cannot be used. There may be a barrier around to seal the space-time ninjutsu. Then, in the next battle, I have to forget about the Flying Thunder God Technique and use the Instant Body Technique instead." Minato Namikaze thought to himself.
Over the years, the Flying Thunder God Technique has almost become his instinct. It is really difficult for him to suppress this instinct or even forget it now.
He took a deep breath, hypnotized himself mentally, pulled out a pair of kunai from his pocket and held them in his hands, and a cold light flashed in Minato Namikaze's eyes.
The art of instant body movement!
"clang--"
"So fast!" Danzo was shocked when he saw Minato Namikaze appearing in front of him.
He barely managed to block it with his wrist guard and raised his foot to kick Minato away, but he saw Minato's figure flash and appear beside him, with the Rasengan already condensed and hitting his shoulder.
"Boom!" Accompanied by a loud roar, Danzo crashed into the rocks and flew out.
There was a river in the valley. Danzo was accompanied by the falling rocks. The rocks sank and splashed water, but he stood steadily on the water.
"As expected of the Golden Flash, not only because of his Flying Thunder God Technique, but also because of his Instant Body Technique. Even the Second Hokage might be able to perform such a fast Instant Body Technique..." Danzo thought unwillingly. He regarded the Second Hokage as his idol, but he found out that the little yellow-haired brat he had always looked down upon actually had an Instant Body Technique that was better than his idol, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
On the other side, Minato Namikaze jumped from the cave entrance to the river and looked at Danzo with great fear in his heart.
"It's so hard. I didn't see him use any hardening techniques, but he didn't even get hurt after being hit by a Rasengan."
The two were wary of each other, but neither hesitated and fought again.
