The five 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies summoned by Yakushi Kabuto stood like torches in front of the Military Police Force Building.
On their bodies, the dark black flames were still burning tirelessly.
These 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies, which could constantly repair themselves, became mere decorations under the inextinguishable 'Amaterasu' black flames. Because as soon as they recovered a little, they would be immediately burned by 'Amaterasu', making these 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies unable to move at all.
Watching this scene, Guren aside felt extremely conflicted.
Not long ago, she was still marveling that the Hidden Leaf Village, the head of the Five Great Ninja Villages, could be so empty and fragile. Under Orochimaru's leadership, the few of them almost swept through the Hidden Leaf, even killing the Third Hokage whose prestige had resounded throughout the Ninja World for decades.
Just when she thought they could easily solve the problem and then evacuate smoothly, unexpectedly, they suffered such a big setback at the hands of the Hidden Leaf Military Police Force.
Currently, Orochimaru was trapped in genjutsu, completely losing the ability to resist. Tayuya, knocked unconscious by Mumei with a hand chop, was still sleeping. And Jūgo, hit by 'Amaterasu', was seriously injured and lost combat capability, barely surviving relying on the powerful vitality under the Cursed Seal state.
In this situation, she, the only one left, was in a dilemma.
More than once, she considered whether to abandon Orochimaru and the others and flee alone. But thinking of the means of Orochimaru, Yakushi Kabuto, and others, she suppressed the idea of fleeing alone. So she froze on the spot, staring blankly at the 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies burned by 'Amaterasu'.
At this time, Sasuke, thrown to the ground by Yakushi Kabuto, struggled to get up.
After a period of recovery, the influence of the 'White Rage Technique' on his body began to fade gradually. Although his limbs were still a bit weak, he could at least move them simply.
"You?"
Guren immediately became vigilant.
Sasuke glared fiercely at Guren: "You damned bunch, do you think you can escape easily after attacking the village? Our Uchiha Military Police Force is not to be trifled with!"
Facing Sasuke's harsh words, Guren frowned slightly.
As a ninja with Kekkei Genkai, her strength was close to the elite Jonin level. Naturally, she saw at a glance that Sasuke at this time had not completely recovered. So what she really dreaded was not the harsh-talking Sasuke, but Shinji Uchiha standing by the window in the Military Police Force Building not far away!
Swish swish swish...
Just then, accompanied by a rapid sound of breaking wind, a large group of Hidden Leaf ninjas arrived at the small square of the Military Police Force Building.
The leader was none other than Danzo.
After learning about the situation at the Military Police Force Building through the Intelligence Division, Danzo, feeling there was an opportunity to take advantage of, did not hesitate and immediately gathered his old subordinates from Root, rushing over hurriedly.
Danzo scanned the field and saw Orochimaru standing motionless, obviously caught in some high-level genjutsu. Jūgo and Tayuya were seriously injured and fell to the ground, life or death unknown. Apart from Yakushi Kabuto whose whereabouts were unknown, only Guren remained among Orochimaru's group who seemed to retain combat capability.
In addition, five 'Impure World Reincarnation' bodies were still burning under the 'Amaterasu' black flames.
"What exactly happened here?"
Secretly puzzled, Danzo also felt a burst of secret delight.
If he could solve Orochimaru's group, not only could he clear his name of colluding with Orochimaru before, but he could also logically take over the power of the village.
Seeing Danzo arriving with a large number of Hidden Leaf ninjas, Guren's face changed again, secretly cursing: "Kabuto, you bastard, why aren't you back yet!"
Sasuke questioned: "Danzo, aren't you in jail?"
"Audacious!"
"Insolent!"
Danzo's subordinates immediately shouted in unison.
Danzo waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to be silent, then walked towards Sasuke leaning on his cane: "Sasuke Uchiha, I am in charge of the village now. Although you are from the Military Police Force, you are also under my control!"
Sasuke blurted out: "Why!"
Danzo snorted lightly: "What, do you want to betray the village?"
Sasuke's expression stagnated instantly.
Seeing this, Danzo chuckled inwardly.
The situation developed even better than he expected. The death of the Third Hokage vacated the highest power of the village. Orochimaru's group suffered a setback in front of the Military Police Force Building, giving him a chance to make a contribution. And the Uchiha remnants, as mortal enemies, also seemed to suffer considerable injuries, just right to pin a crime on them later and catch them all in one net.
Anyway, the village was currently in chaos. First a Sky Ninja raid, then Orochimaru's attack, it was normal for a few people to die. Even if Tsunade returned with the main force in the future, she couldn't do anything to him.
She would even have to reward him and restore his position as advisory elder because he stabilized the situation in the village and captured Orochimaru's group.
Having made up his mind, Danzo said to Sasuke: "From now on, leave this to me to handle, you withdraw!"
Sasuke said: "Orochimaru was dealt with by our Military Police Force, why should we hand him over to you?"
Danzo's face turned cold. He walked up to Sasuke, looking past Sasuke at Shinji in the Military Police Force Building behind Sasuke.
Like Guren, compared to the obviously injured Sasuke, he was more wary of Shinji in the building.
So he planned to take down Sasuke first, forcing Shinji to appear, and then control Shinji with 'Kotoamatsukami' contained in Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan, solving these two Uchiha remnants who made him sleepless in one fell swoop.
Seeming to sense Danzo's malice, Sasuke hurriedly retreated. However, injured as he was, he was obviously not Danzo's match.
With a smirk, Danzo quickly reached out his right hand, grabbed Sasuke by the throat, twisted him in front of him, and whispered in a volume only they could hear: "Letting you two Uchiha remnants live until now is this old man's biggest miscalculation! But your luck ends here. Carry the crime of colluding with the Akatsuki organization and die obediently!"
"You..."
Sasuke's face flushed red, his eyes full of disbelief.
He never expected that at such a critical moment for the village, Danzo would not forget internal strife, wanting to take the opportunity to eliminate him and Shinji.
Not only him, Guren aside was also startled, not understanding why Danzo suddenly started fighting with Sasuke!
At this time, Danzo looked at Shinji in the Military Police Building not far away again, thinking: "Still not making a move? I want to see how long you can endure!"
While thinking, Danzo increased the force on his hand.
Sasuke, grabbed by the neck, instantly felt difficulty breathing, struggled a few times, and then slowly fell into a state of suffocation.
Swish...
Just then, a figure landed in the field.
Everyone on the field looked over in unison, and then discovered that this figure was Mumei dressed in the Hidden Leaf Military Police Force uniform. What was surprising was that she was actually carrying Yakushi Kabuto in her hand...
