"Konoha Hurricane!"
Might Guy's roar was like thunder.
The wild Taijutsu hurricane directly swept towards Fu Yamanaka, forcing him away from Danzo's side.
He was given no chance to use his Mind Body Switch Jutsu.
The highest-level battle instantly began!
And with Tsunade's initial move, and her previous assurance regarding the safety of the clan compounds,
the Konoha Ninja, who were originally wavering, finally made up their minds.
They all drew their weapons, Chakra surging.
They roared and charged towards Danzo and his loyal followers.
"Protect Hokage-sama!"
"Eliminate the traitor Danzo!"
For a time, shouts of killing filled the air.
The light of Ninjutsu flickered, and kunai and shuriken flew everywhere.
The entire square descended into chaotic melee.
Around Danzo, only a limited number of Root loyalists, members of the Shimura Clan,
and a few other Ninja he controlled through various means were still stubbornly resisting.
But they were clearly at an absolute disadvantage.
After all, Danzo had been hiding in the shadows for too long; not many people even knew of his existence anymore.
After all, the Hokage was the supreme leader of Konoha.
However, at this moment of full-scale battle,
a discordant scene appeared at the edge of the square.
The clan heads of the three great clans, led by Hyuga Hiashi, Shibi Aburame, and Inuzuka Tsume, exchanged glances.
They seemed to have reached some kind of tacit understanding.
They did not join the battle but instead looked warily at Di Yan, who was being "protected" by Anbu and was leisurely watching the show.
Seeing that Di Yan was only holding Uchiha Hikari, with no intention of intervening at all,
and even his expression remained unchanged,
they seemed to have made up their minds.
Hyuga Hiashi was the first to turn around and said in a deep voice:
"Hyuga Clan, follow me back to the compound to stand guard!"
With that, he led the Hyuga Clan members to quickly withdraw from the square, without a hint of reluctance.
Immediately after, Shibi Aburame also pushed up his sunglasses and shouted in a low voice:
"Aburame Clan, retreat!"
The Aburame Clan Ninja also receded like a tide.
Inuzuka Tsume sighed and whistled:
"That kid Kiba... Alas, Inuzuka Clan, let's go!"
She quickly left with her Ninja dogs and clan members.
The sudden withdrawal of these three great clans seemed particularly abrupt and conspicuous.
They chose to stay out of it, closing their doors.
They would not participate in this civil war that would determine the future of Konoha.
This unusual scene naturally fell into the eyes of Tsunade, who was in fierce combat, and Shikaku Nara, who was in charge of commanding the overall situation.
Both of them frowned slightly, but their offensive did not slow down.
Shikaku Nara's brain worked rapidly, instantly connecting the dots:
Shino Aburame, Hinata, and even Kiba Inuzuka were still in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor.
Di Yan's seemingly casual but deeply meaningful actions before, and the abnormal retreat of the three great clans now... "So that's it..."
Shikaku Nara understood in his heart, "Is he using the safety of the clan heirs to gain their neutrality today... What a clever scheme."
"But what can you gain from this? Danzo can no longer succeed... Or do you have other plans?"
Shikaku Nara couldn't figure it out for a moment.
Tsunade punched a charging Root Ninja, sending him flying, and her gaze coldly swept towards Di Yan's direction.
Her mind was equally clear.
Although she was angry at Di Yan's interference in Konoha's internal affairs and his coercion of the great clans,
she also knew that, with the priority of dealing with Danzo at the moment,
temporarily stabilizing Di Yan and preventing the three great clans from siding with Danzo or causing greater chaos
was the best possible outcome under the circumstances.
"Focus our strength and take down Danzo first!"
Tsunade shouted to Shikaku Nara.
She refocused all her anger and attention on the culprit, Danzo.
In the center of the battlefield, Danzo appeared quite disheveled in the face of Tsunade's storm-like monstrous strength attacks.
He had been living a life of luxury for a long time, and his combat experience could no longer keep up with Tsunade's.
He could only constantly rely on bizarre Body Replacement Jutsu and Wind Release Ninjutsu to maneuver.
His single eye was filled with unwillingness and venom.
His coup plan, under Di Yan's cold observation and Tsunade's meticulous preparations,
was rapidly heading towards bankruptcy.
But Danzo was very unwilling. He touched his arm... He might not be without a chance... 65 Danzo at his wit's end; a battle of immortals.
Although every Root Ninja under Danzo was an elite, trained through cruel means and accustomed to killing,
they were ultimately outnumbered.
And under the siege of Konoha's regular Ninja forces, who were absolutely superior in numbers and well-prepared,
two fists were ultimately no match for four hands.
Their resistance was quickly dismantled.
Root Ninja were constantly being killed or subdued and falling to the ground.
On the other side, although Aburame Torune and Fu Yamanaka were powerful,
they gradually faltered against Kakashi's exquisite tactics and Might Guy's incredibly ferocious Taijutsu attacks.
Kakashi utilized the insight of his Sharingan to seize a gap in Aburame Torune's venomous attack.
A Lightning Blade nearly severely injured him.
And Might Guy, with superior speed and strength,
forcibly broke through Fu Yamanaka's defense.
He knocked him out and captured him.
In the center of the largest battlefield, Tsunade completely transformed into an enraged "mother tyrannosaurus."
Every punch of hers contained the terrifying power to split mountains and shatter rocks.
The ground beneath her feet continuously cracked and collapsed.
Danzo was running for his life.
He barely managed to maneuver by relying on an endless stream of Body Replacement Jutsu and Ninjutsu like Wind Release: Great Breakthrough.
But he was clearly at a disadvantage, looking utterly pathetic.
Just as Danzo narrowly avoided Tsunade's heavy punch, and the ground beneath him exploded into a large crater,
several Root Ninja, covered in wounds and clearly having fought their way out, staggered to his side.
One of them even used his body to shield Danzo from flying debris, reporting anxiously:
"Lord Danzo! This is bad! All of our bases..."
"Have been raided and destroyed by Konoha Anbu and the security forces!"
"The teams sent to control the various clans also... also suffered total annihilation!"
"Konoha had already set up an ambush!"
"We... we have completely failed!"
"What?! Pfft..." Upon hearing this, Danzo felt his vision darken, and his blood surged.
He nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood.
All his trump cards.
All the foundations he had painstakingly built over many years.
Were actually uprooted in such a short time?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Danzo roared at Tsunade like a madman?
His single eye was filled with bloodshot veins and extreme confusion and unwillingness, "Tsunade! How did you know?! 597"
"How did you find all the Root bases?"
"Where did you get this intelligence from?"
This had almost become his greatest obsession and unsolved mystery on the path to failure.
He believed his plan was flawless.
The locations of the Root bases were the utmost secret of secrets!
Just then,
a calm voice came from the edge of the battlefield:
"Because, the one who led us to find and eliminate the Root bases... was me."
Yamato (Tenzo) was seen walking quickly with a team of Anbu Ninja who, though dusty from travel, had sharp eyes.
They had clearly just completed their extermination mission and returned to the square to report.
Their appearance
just happened to cut off the retreat of those few Root Ninja who had delivered the news.
Danzo suddenly turned his head, at the moment he saw Yamato?
