The massive Susanoo appeared, instantly shattering the Hokage Mansion.
The wind and waves sent building debris flying everywhere, like a storm.
"Is this the legendary, most powerful dojutsu, the Mangekyō Sharingan, possessed by Uchiha Madara?" The Third Hokage emerged from the ruins, looking at the huge figure, a flash of anger crossing his face.
"Danzō, are you crazy!"
"Why didn't you follow the agreed-upon plan?"
His hysterical roar made Jiraiya and Homura Mitokado's expressions change.
This was the first time they had seen the Third Hokage, who was known for his steady approach, become so furious.
However, before they could react, Susanoo's right hand suddenly reached out, grabbing the flying Aburame Torune with lightning speed.
This sudden move shocked everyone.
Danzō, who emerged from the ruins and landed nearby, had a pale face. He shouted sharply, "Kai, release him immediately! You dare to destroy the Hokage Mansion? If you kill your comrades while still in the village, that's enough to be sentenced to treason!"
"Danzō, you're crazy!" The Third Hokage's face changed dramatically. He shouted urgently, "You have no right to decide this. Shut up."
"Kai, don't be impulsive. I'll handle this!"
His urgent words echoed through the world.
Jiraiya, Homura Mitokado, and the other Anbu ninjas had never seen the Third Hokage so flustered.
Unfortunately, some things couldn't be solved with just a few words.
At least, not in Kai's eyes.
A warm smile appeared on Kai's face.
His nine-tomoe Sharingan suddenly spun, and Susanoo's right hand clenched tightly.
"No!"
Aburame Torune cried out in pain.
His strongest technique was the Insect Jutsu, which had an all-pervasive attack method.
However, facing Susanoo, which had absolute defense and not even a single hole, he clearly had no way to use it.
Facing Kai's smile, like a death reaper's summons, a sharp pain instantly surged through his mind.
Pshh!
A sound like a watermelon shattering suddenly came out.
Everyone's pupils contracted.
Especially the Anbu ninjas. They knew that they were still a long way from Aburame Torune.
Their techniques were incomparable.
However, this elite jōnin-level existence was instantly crushed like a watermelon by the clenched fist.
Now, they were only relieved that they hadn't acted rashly.
"Kai, you're asking for death!" Danzō roared.
Aburame Torune was a confidant he had painstakingly cultivated, a pillar of Root.
Kai had killed him in public, after his warning. This was the ultimate provocation.
"Haha, this Susanoo is still under my control, and I'm still clumsy. I accidentally crushed him. It's an accident. I believe Danzō, you'll understand," Kai smiled playfully.
But this smile, at this moment, was undoubtedly a blatant provocation.
"Everyone, kill him!" Danzō's expression was ferocious.
As a high-ranking advisor of Konoha and the leader of Root, this was the first time he had been so disrespected.
However, as soon as he finished speaking, two figures, like ghosts, surrounded Danzō, one in front and one behind.
"Danzō, enough!" Jiraiya pressed his left shoulder down.
As for his right shoulder, it was grabbed by Minato Namikaze.
Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Shisui, who followed behind him, looked at the illusory figure standing in the ruins, their faces turning pale.
Their worst fears had come true.
"Minato, Jiraiya, Kai is recklessly killing his comrades in the village. This is treason," Danzō shouted sharply. "Don't stop me. I'll let this brat know that Konoha Village is not a place where he can run wild."
"Danzō, enough. Minato and I aren't stopping you," Jiraiya said solemnly, looking at Kai, who was inside Susanoo. "We're worried that you'll be killed."
His quiet voice, at this moment, was like a hurricane sweeping through the entire scene.
The mighty leader of Root and the three top officials of Konoha.
Danzō's strength was definitely worthy of being called Kage-level.
It was because of this strength that Danzō had repeatedly tried to become Hokage.
However, now, Jiraiya, one of the Sannin, was giving this assessment.
Whether it was true or not, in the ears of others, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face.
"Damn it, Jiraiya, what are you talking about? If you have the guts, get out of the way. I'll let you know why I can become the leader of Root," Danzō roared.
However, the one who appeared in front of Danzō first was the Third Hokage.
"Danzō, enough. Go back now. You cannot leave the mansion without my orders. Otherwise, don't blame me for not being sentimental." The Third Hokage said coldly.
"In the past, you would weigh the pros and cons and know what to fear. But now, you've been blinded by your own interests. You still haven't seen it."
"That kid is causing such a commotion in the village. He's still so relaxed in front of so many people. This proves that he's not afraid and has enough confidence to escape. You rashly attacked. You might end up dying like Aburame Torune."
Danzō's expression faltered. The moment his eyes met Kai's, he couldn't refute it.
This was the first time he had seen Sarutobi Hiruzen, his old opponent, who was known for his strategic planning, speak with such uncertainty.
Moreover, this was Konoha Village, their stronghold.
Under these advantageous circumstances, the Third Hokage gave this assessment.
This was beyond Danzō's expectations.
"Kai, you've killed the man. You should be satisfied. Why don't you just stop here?" Uchiha Fugaku couldn't hold back anymore.
As the head of the Uchiha clan, if he didn't break the deadlock now, the situation would probably worsen.
Moreover, he also had a responsibility to set an example in this situation.
Looking at Kai, who was smiling, Uchiha Fugaku's nerves were stretched to the limit.
He had only heard about Kai's strength.
But after seeing it with his own eyes, Uchiha Fugaku realized that Kai's strength was far beyond his imagination.
If Kai insisted on fighting, his trump card would be exposed.
Once that happened, the situation for the Uchiha clan would be even more dire.
"Fugaku is right. Let's end this here, Kai. We will give you an explanation." The Third Hokage agreed.
"This time, it was Danzō who was too reckless."
Seeing even the Third Hokage trying to persuade him, everyone's expressions changed.
They looked at Kai with urgency.
A moment ago, the high praise from Jiraiya and the others made them understand that if the young man in front of them said no, a fierce battle awaited them.
"Haha, since Uncle and the Third Hokage have spoken, I wouldn't want to be a criminal if I didn't give them face," Kai chuckled. "But I also like it when Danzō sends me more people to practice with."
