Chapter 179: Netorare Must Die
Under the cover of night.
The Shimura Clan compound.
Due to the large number of people, it had already become its own district.
Jiraiya held a map and said, "Danzo's room should be in the northeast corner, the tallest building."
The map came from the Anbu.
As Konoha's intelligence agency, it was easy to figure out the Shimura Clan's deployment.
Even if it was just on the surface.
"But which room Shinra Raccoon lives in is unknown."
Jiraiya frowned.
He was worried that a large-scale search would be discovered.
After all, this was his first time.
He had never moved against a major Konoha clan before.
But he was actually doing alright.
After all, he had already seen Orochimarupregnant.
He felt that no matter how absurd things got in the future, he could accept them.
A night raid on Danzo was nothing.
"What does Shinra Raccoon look like?"
Naruto asked again.
Jiraiya took out a portrait.
A very ordinary middle-aged man.
Not ugly, but not handsome either.
Naruto closed his eyes and expanded his Kagura Minds Eye.
In his perception, there was a massive clump of Chakra.
That should be Danzo.
It was normal for him to have a lot of Chakra since he had transplanted Hashirama cells.
Besides that, there were quite a few Jonin.
It wasn't inferior to the Hyuga Clan.
But Naruto still quickly locked onto Shinra Raccoon.
Or rather, the Ninja suspected to be him.
Because of the Hashirama cells.
That person also had Hashirama cells, but the feeling was different from Danzo's.
The former felt like two types of cells in one body, while the latter leaned more toward fusion.
"Follow me."
Naruto opened his eyes and leaped, moving with the agility of a cat through several bounds.
Jiraiya was slightly stunned but quickly followed.
The two of them stopped in front of a room.
It was pitch black inside.
But the sound of breathing could be heard; he should be sleeping.
"It really is him."
Jiraiya peeked in and looked carefully, unable to hide his surprise. "How did you find him?"
"Kagura Minds Eye, a talent of the Uzumaki Clan."
Naruto answered casually, then asked, "What should we do now? Knock him out and take him?"
"No need to knock him out."
Jiraiya took out a thin tube and blew air through the window into the room.
I've seen this scene before.
Naruto's eyes widened.
He had often seen this in Wuxia dramas in his past life.
Jiraiya, you really aren't a proper Ninja.
How are you so practiced at this!
"Is this called 'I Love One Stick of Firewood'?"
Naruto leaned in and whispered.
"What the hell? Your naming skills are on par with your old man's."
Jiraiya's brow twitched as he said, "This is a secret medicine that can put people into a deep sleep. Its name is Sleeping Bug."
"Then it's not as good as the one I came up with."
Naruto complained.
"..."
Jiraiya looked speechless. Is there something wrong with this kid's brain?
Is now the time to discuss names?
He pushed open the door, grabbed Shinra Raccoon, and said, "Naruto."
Naruto nodded, activated the Flying Thunder God Technique, and the three of them vanished.
They reappeared in the Root interrogation room.
"Go find a professional for me."
Jiraiya set Shinra Raccoon down and instructed, "Inoichi Yamanaka."
"You're already using Flying Thunder God as an errand skill, and yet you were lecturing me earlier."
Naruto fully displayed the style of a keyboard warrior from his past life, retorting with a quip.
"..."
Jiraiya glared at him, but he only glared at thin air.
Naruto was already gone.
A moment later, Inoichi Yamanaka appeared.
He was Ino's father and the head of the KonohaAnalysis Team, possessing the ability to probe others' thoughts and obtain information.
Naruto didn't stay; he turned and went to Root's archive room.
Although Danzo had taken many key materials, the things left behind were still inaccessible to ordinary Ninjas.
He made a copy of all the medical-related records.
Then he returned to the Shimura Clan compound.
If he was going to do it, he had to do it thoroughly.
Both Orochimaru and Danzo had experimental data regarding Hashirama cells.
But Sasuke was currently obsessed with fighting, sparring, and recruiting lackeys; who knew when he'd manage to steal it.
It was better to do it himself.
Naruto changed into his Tianming Organizationoutfit.
He activated his Mangekyo Sharingan.
He appeared in a room without hiding his presence.
Fu Yamanaka, on the bed, had just opened his eyes when he lost consciousness.
Naruto couldn't help but marvel; the Mangekyo Sharingan was truly useful.
Its hypnosis ability was no worse than the hypnosis stories from his past life.
Although Fu Yamanaka was from the YamanakaClan, he was Danzo's guard and fiercely loyal.
Unfortunately, he met a tragic end.
He was used as a sacrifice for Edo Tensei.
Naruto got straight to the point: "Do you know where the data Danzo brought back is kept?"
Fu Yamanaka answered blankly, "In the Shimura Clan's forbidden area. I know the location, but I can't open it."
"Who can open it? Danzo?"
"Danzo can open it, and so can the elders of the Shimura Clan."
"Take me to the nearest elder's room."
Naruto soon controlled another person.
The three of them arrived at the forbidden area.
"Outsiders are not allowed to enter."
The ones guarding the forbidden area were Shimura Clan Jonin; there were actually six of them.
Naruto gave them six looks directly.
Experience it for yourselves.
He entered the forbidden area without any hindrance.
With the help of several guards, he didn't trigger a single trap.
For some reason, he had a feeling of 'committing a crime in front of the husband'.
Naruto quickly shook his head.
Get rid of that feeling.
Netorare must die!
He was a pure love fan.
After passing through a complex tunnel, Narutoreached the final archive room.
At the same time, he saw a miraculous thing.
Hashirama cells.
It was locked in a glass rectangular container.
It was pulsing with life, and there was even a face of Senju Hashirama.
Albeit a simplified version.
Naruto remembered that anyone who transplanted Hashirama cells seemed to develop this face.
For example, Uchiha Madara had it on his chest or rather, over his heart.
A literal 'person on the heart'.
Quite creepy.
But it was indeed a good thing.
Since he saw it, there was no reason not to take it.
Naruto wasn't a tomb raider; he didn't have any superstitions.
However, as soon as he touched the glass tank, an alarm went off.
Careless.
Naruto shook his head, pointed to the tunnel entrance, and said, "The eight of you go to the door. Kill anyone who approaches without mercy."
After saying that, he looked at the other materials and began to empty the place.
As a gamer, he believed in the 'Clean Plate Club' philosophy.
No matter what it was, it had to go into the inventory.
Whenever he encountered a treasure chest, a rock, or anything, he had to hit it to see if anything dropped.
Even apples and vegetables couldn't be overlooked.
While Naruto was busily packing everything up, things were also heating up outside the forbidden area.
Massive flames and storms were raging.
Danzo's face was livid as he roared, "What is wrong with you all?"
He was one step away from asking, 'Are you the ones who led the enemy here?'
But Fu Yamanaka and the others ignored him completely.
No matter how stupid Danzo was, he realized something was wrong.
"Hypnosis?"
He was somewhat surprised; this seemed to be the result of a Sharingan.
Thinking of this, he pulled back his right sleeve, revealing a Sharingan.
Sharingan hypnosis was hard to break.
But it could be done with another Sharingan.
Fortunately, if there was one thing he had plenty of, it was Sharingan.
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun, focusing on the people in front of him.
But it was still useless.
Danzo's heart skipped a beat, his face full of shock.
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan had no effect.
That meant it was Mangekyo Sharingan hypnosis.
But who had a Mangekyo Sharingan?
"Has Uchiha Itachi returned?"
The expressions on Danzo's face shifted like a Sichuan opera mask. He frowned deeply. "I haven't moved against Sasuke, so why would he return? Does he want to kill me? That shouldn't be right."
Although Uchiha Itachi was fiercely loyal to Konoha, Danzo didn't trust him.
Because someone who would even kill their parents would naturally kill him without hesitation.
His only weakness was Sasuke.
Danzo was thinking a lot at this moment.
After all, Uchiha Itachi's strength was troublesome.
But he quickly shook off the various cluttered thoughts.
Troublesome didn't mean he feared Uchiha Itachi.
Because he also had a Mangekyo Sharingan.
Hidden under the bandages of his right eye was Uchiha Shisui's right eye.
It possessed the strongest Genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami.
Danzo entered the forbidden area.
Fu Yamanaka and the other seven had been completely suppressed.
Although they were Jonin, they were useless against the more numerous and stronger members of the Shimura Clan.
A minute later, he saw the empty archive room.
Not a single thing was left.
Including the chandeliers on the ceiling, the fans, and everything else.
Danzo's previous mental preparation and readiness for battle seemed like a joke.
Because he hadn't seen a single person.
But he was certain it couldn't be Uchiha Itachi.
After all, he was a Ninja with integrity; he could never do something so shameless.
Cleaned out completely.
Danzo was so angry his expression twisted.
This was the first time he had seen such an absurd situation.
Are you a damn rat or something?
Danzo pulled down the bandage on his right eye, scanning the surroundings with the Mangekyo Sharingan.
No traces whatsoever.
Space-Time Ninjutsu?
That was the only explanation.
At the same time, it proved once again that it wasn't Uchiha Itachi's doing.
Danzo had Fu Yamanaka and the others brought in and broke their hypnosis.
"Tianming Organization!"
He held the portrait Fu Yamanaka had drawn and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Although Naruto's appearance was unfamiliar, his outfit was no longer a secret.
It had appeared outside the Hidden Cloud Villagemultiple times.
Danzo, who had previously controlled Root, naturally knew about it.
But why would the Tianming Organization provoke him?
Was it because of the Hashirama cells or something else?
Naruto's 'clean plate' action left him confused.
He didn't know which one was the true goal.
But regardless, the Hashirama cells absolutely had to be retrieved.
He planned to take a trip to the Hidden Cloud Village... After Naruto left the Shimura Clan, he didn't go home but instead went to the Hyuga Compound.
But he wasn't looking for Hinata; he was looking for Neji.
"..."
Neji looked at Naruto outside the door and said expressionlessly, "It's one in the morning."
"I know."
Naruto entered the room without a care and said, "It's fine for young people to sleep a bit late."
"What do you want with me this late?"
Neji ignored his words and asked.
"To give you some stuff."
Naruto looked left and right and asked, "How about you take me to the warehouse? There's quite a lot of stuff."
Neji couldn't help but be puzzled.
My house is so big and it still can't fit it?
Where did you go to loot?
"Follow me."
Neji didn't ask further and turned to go to the warehouse.
Naruto began to dump the items.
One after another.
Neji was dumbfounded.
His family's warehouse was ten meters long, but it was actually two-thirds full.
Besides large piles of data books, there were also desks, cabinets, chandeliers, and so on.
"What did you do?"
Neji picked up a data book and scanned a few pages. His expression immediately changed, and he couldn't help asking, "Did you loot Konoha?"
"No, just looted Root."
Naruto clapped his hands and laughed.
"..."
Neji couldn't laugh.
What do you mean 'just' looted Root!
"Didn't Danzo find out? Don't go involving the Hyuga Clan."
Neji tried to stay calm.
Danzo held a high position, after all.
Just because he wasn't afraid didn't mean the Hyuga Clan wasn't.
It would be very uncomfortable if he started making small moves.
"He didn't find out."
Naruto patted his chest and said, "Rest assured when I do things. As long as you don't leak it here, it'll be fine."
Neji chose to trust his strength and asked again, "Why give it to me? Things from Root must be very precious."
"In my opinion, they aren't that precious, since I can't understand them anyway."
Naruto shrugged and smiled. "But it should be quite useful for you."
After he finished speaking, he rummaged through the pile of data and pulled out a few books.
Neji took them, and his calm face turned to shock.
"Danzo actually performed this kind of experiment?"
"It's too early to be surprised."
Naruto took out the Hashirama cells.
"..."
Neji didn't know what to say for a moment.
He activated his Byakugan and stared at the Hashirama cells.
"Simply incredible..."
"I think so too."
Naruto nodded in agreement.
In his past life, he could never figure out why Hashirama cells were so heaven-defying, yet the man himself died young.
Could it be because of heartbreak?
"You can research the Hashirama cells."
Although he was the reincarnation of Ashura's Chakra, he now had the Mangekyo Sharingan, and he might go blind one day.
Naruto felt it was good to have it as a backup for a rainy day.
"Alright."
Neji agreed. For a researcher, having a divine object like Hashirama cells and not researching it would truly make it impossible to sleep.
The next day.
After making some inquiries, Naruto arrived at the interrogation room beneath the Root building.
In the massive room.
Shinra Raccoon was locked in a semi-circular stone platform covered in seals.
He was in a comatose state.
Jiraiya was looking through the information in a scroll.
Hearing a sound, he looked up and said, "The new weapon Shinra Raccoon prepared is called Gozu Tenno. He created it by combining Hashirama cellswith the Summoned Beast Nue."
"What does it do?"
"Nue can absorb Chakra to increase its size until it reaches saturation, then it explodes with enough power to level all of Konoha."
"Self-destruction? A one-time weapon?"
"Yeah."
"Then where is Nue?"
"Inside his body."
Jiraiya pointed at Shinra Raccoon and said, "He followed Danzo's orders and implanted Gozu Tenno into his own body."
Naruto inexplicably thought of Deidara.
"It's a bit troublesome now."
Jiraiya put away the scroll and said, "Such a dangerous Summoned Beast absolutely cannot be left with him. Otherwise, he could threaten Konohaat any time. But we have no way to take it out."
"Just let him explode then."
Naruto thought for a moment and said, "Unless you want to control this weapon."
"Konoha naturally wants to control it."
Jiraiya didn't hide it. "Its power is immense and could become Konoha's trump card, but I'm afraid Danzo might have tampered with it. I'll talk to this guy."
He woke Shinra Raccoon up.
"Jiraiya?"
Shinra Raccoon was stunned, then realized he had been captured.
"We obtained information from your mind."
Jiraiya said in a deep voice, "Danzo isn't worth your loyalty. If you wake up in time, your life can be spared."
But Shinra Raccoon laughed maniacally.
His body began to swell.
"Naruto!"
Jiraiya's heart skipped a beat. This guy was going to self-destruct.
Damn it!
Was Danzo's brainwashing that successful?
Seeing this, Naruto teleported the guy away.
They appeared directly over the ocean in the Land of Water.
Shinra Raccoon was gone, replaced by a gargantuan beast.
It had the face of a monkey, the body of a raccoon, the limbs of a tiger, and the tail of a snake.
Nue.
However, seeing the ocean, it looked completely bewildered.
But Shinra Raccoon's dying will was 'don't stop'.
It caused its body to continue swelling, to the point where terror appeared on its face.
But there was nothing it could do.
Its body's hunger for Chakra caused it to keep absorbing.
Finally, a massive firework bloomed over the sea.
Waves over a thousand meters high.
Countless fish and blood were mixed together.
Everywhere the eye could see was a scene of carnage.
Naruto stood high up and shook his head.
A pair of transparent wings behind him flapped continuously.
[Congratulations to the host for achieving the 'Netorare Must Die' achievement. Reward: One normal card draw.]
Naruto: "???"
