Chapter 201 Wood Release Ninja

Danzo was satisfied and asked Kakashi and Jia to leave. He took the intelligence scroll and went back to study the specific assassination plan.

Kakashi left the Root organization's base alone and walked towards his home.

However, after arriving home, he made a feint and quietly came to the Hokage building by a detour. He jumped from the outside to the window of the Hokage's office.

"Hokage."

Kakashi knocked on the window and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen smoking a pipe and reviewing documents in the office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen heard Kakashi's call, turned around and saw Kakashi, and waved to him to come in.

So Kakashi opened the window and jumped into the Hokage's office.

Sarutobi Hiruzen put down the documents, held his pipe and said, "What's wrong? Kakashi, is there something urgent?"

The pipe in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth shook up and down as he spoke, and the smoke made it difficult to see the expression on his face.

Kakashi knelt on one knee and said, "Report to the Hokage, Shimura Danzo is planning to assassinate the Hokage."

The pipe in Sarutobi Hiruzen's mouth suddenly stopped shaking and was taken off.

The burning smoke still rose, and the expression on Sarutobi Hiruzen's face finally changed. He hesitated and said, "Are you sure?"

Kakashi raised his head and said, "It's true. Danzo tried to persuade me to participate in the assassination plan. For the sake of the overall situation, I pretended to agree and helped him obtain the information that the Hokage went to the Daimyo Mansion. I stabilized Danzo and then came to find the Hokage."

Sarutobi Hiruzen closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair and sighed, "Danzo has gone to the extent of killing me..."

Sarutobi Hiruzen seemed to be lamenting that the friendship between the two since childhood was not as good as the current struggle for power.

After all, the two knew each other since childhood and formed a bond with each other. They are both friends and competitors, and the friendship between them is not ordinary.

It took a long time for Sarutobi Hiruzen to get rid of the shock of this news.

"You did a good job, Kakashi."

"Since Danzo came to you, it means he has made sufficient preparations."

"A temporary compromise can help you pass the message to me safely."

"But you should have reported to me earlier. Fortunately, it is not too late now."

"Since Danzo wants to take action on my way to the Daimyo's mansion, let's take advantage of him."

"Kakashi, I want to give you a task."

Kakashi bowed his head and said, "Please give me your orders, Lord Hokage."

"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, I need you to pretend to be me and set off according to the original plan."

"You only need to ensure your own safety and attract the attention of Danzo and his men. Leave the rest to me."

Sarutobi Hiruzen put the pipe in his mouth again and puffed out smoke.

Kakashi naturally agreed.

In his heart, Kakashi still chose Sarutobi Hiruzen between Danzo and Sarutobi Hiruzen.

After all, Sarutobi Hiruzen has been the Hokage of Konoha for many years.

Besides, Hiruzen Sarutobi's generosity also made Kakashi understand the difference between Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo.

On the day of the trip, Kakashi used the transformation technique to disguise himself as Hiruzen Sarutobi wearing the Hokage robe.

Kakashi set off with the escort team.

Along the way, Kakashi imitated Hiruzen Sarutobi's words and deeds to ensure that Danzo's men could not see the difference.

The journey seemed calm, but Kakashi knew that this was a long-term plan, so he was not in a hurry.

The group traveled halfway along the predetermined route, passing through a small road with no village in front and no shop behind, and Kakashi finally waited for Danzo's men to take action.

A group of enemies dressed as wandering ninjas blocked the way of the group and fought with the members of the escort team.

Just when all the members of the escort were restrained, the real killer move arranged by Danzo appeared.

The young ninja armor of the Root organization rushed out from the bushes on the side, formed a seal and launched a ninjutsu to attack Kakashi.

The Third Hokage played by Kakashi exclaimed in astonishment, "What? It's Wood Release!"

A thick wooden thorn grew out of the ground and pierced the body of the "Third Hokage" while he was astonished.

This is the confidence that Danzo dared to assassinate the Hokage.

After all, ninjas are also human beings. In most cases, no matter how strong the ninjas are, their bodies are fragile.

A kunai can kill the enemy, not to mention the huge wooden thorns that directly pierce the body.

But to Jia's disappointment, he did not hit the real Third Hokage.

The "Third Hokage" turned into wood with a bang after being penetrated.

Kakashi appeared from the tree on the other side, looked down at Jia and said, "You are actually a Wood Release ninja of Konoha, why do you help Danzo assassinate the Hokage."

Jia did not answer Kakashi's question, but just felt sorry for the failure just now, and then stretched forward with both hands in a seal.

Wood Release: Great Forest Technique!

I saw Jia's outstretched arm turned into a winding and stretched wood and attacked Kakashi standing on the tree.

Lightning flashed in Kakashi's hand.

Raikiri!

Although he no longer had the blessing of the Sharingan, after improving the nature of chakra and using it skillfully, Kakashi's Raikiri no longer relied on the distance of the thrust.

Kakashi first dodged the attack of Wood Release, and then used the power of Raikiri to destroy the wood formed by the Wood Release Great Forest Technique. After several moves, he destroyed Jia's Wood Release and took the opportunity to attack Jia.

Jia was no match for Kakashi, and was forced to fall to the ground by Raikiri because he could not dodge in time.

However, Kakashi's Raikiri did not fall down to take Jia's life.

The expression under Jia's mask was very confused.

The expression under Kakashi's mask was very complicated.

"If Konoha had a Wood Release ninja to help at that time, I'm afraid Minato teacher would not have to sacrifice."

Kakashi thought to himself as he looked at the boy lying on the ground in front of him.

Wood Release, like the Sharingan, has the ability to restrain the tailed beasts.

Therefore, Kakashi thought that if the Wood Release boy in front of him was on the battlefield at that time, the Nine-Tails could be suppressed by Wood Release.

However, Kakashi was wrong about one thing.

The truly powerful one has never been Wood Release, but Senju Hashirama.

Although Jia in front of him also has Wood Release, his strength is far inferior to Senju Hashirama.

Senju Hashirama's Wood Release can easily suppress the Nine-Tails, but Jia's Wood Release in front of him may even have difficulty controlling his personal pillar.

Even if Danzo was really willing to let Jia go to the battlefield at that time, it would be useless.

Jia lying on the ground opened his eyes and waited for death.

Seeing that Kakashi had not taken action yet, although Jia did not know the specific reason, he naturally understood that his top priority now was to run away.

Jia was about to get up when he heard Kakashi's words.

"Where did you learn Wood Release? Forget it, you can't be that, just go away"

"I won't kill you because your Wood Release can help Konoha sooner or later."

Jia did not respond to hearing this and fled in a hurry.

The "wandering ninjas" who were fighting with the escort team saw that Jia's assassination of the Hokage had failed, and even the Hokage was not the real Hokage

They knew that it was meaningless to continue fighting, and they all withdrew from the battlefield.

In order to avoid casualties, the escort team did not pursue the victory.

The plan to assassinate the Hokage ended in failure.

However, at this time, Danzo had already arrived at the Hokage's office and sat down in front of the throne that belonged exclusively to the Hokage.

Danzo sat in the Hokage's position with a dignified manner, turned the chair to the window, leaned on the back of the chair and imagined himself successfully ascending the throne of Hokage.

The desire for power made Danzo bold enough to do such an overreaching act.

This also shows that Danzo is very confident in this assassination plan.

Just as Danzo was in a fantasy, the door of the Hokage's office was opened, and Danzo said unhappily: "Didn't I say that no one is allowed to come in?"

However, Danzo heard a very familiar voice.

"Sorry, I don't plan to give that chair to anyone for the time being."

Danzo was so scared that he quickly turned the chair back, and saw Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression as if he had seen a ghost.

"It seems that you want to ask why I am still alive."

Danzo knew that he was in the wrong, and cold sweat ran down his face. He reluctantly explained: "No, no, I just heard that you left for the daimyo's mansion this morning."

Sarutobi said: "A man rebelled, no, it should be said that he turned his back."

"Told us that we would be attacked on the way to the daimyo's mansion."

Danzo clenched his fists nervously, stood up and supported the table, his face was not very good, although his face was not good to begin with.

"The criminal will be known immediately once we investigate, and that person will definitely not escape the death penalty."

Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes became unusually sharp, staring at Danzo, making Danzo feel uneasy.

Danzo gritted his teeth and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen, his mood fell from the climax to the bottom like a roller coaster, and then he looked away, shock, regret and other emotions filled his heart.

Sarutobi Hiruzen turned around at this time, facing Danzo sideways, and looked out the window and said: "But I don't advocate more sacrifices."

"If I meet that person, I want to tell him."

"I will not pursue this action."

When Danzo heard this, even he couldn't help showing a surprised expression.

"In exchange, I hope that person will do his best for the village in the future."

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his pipe.

Danzo was grateful that Sarutobi's kindness saved his life, and walked silently to the door to leave.

Before leaving, Danzo stopped, turned back slightly and said: "It has been like this since the beginning, you are the light, I am the darkness."

"Where there is light, there must be darkness, but if one of them is missing, the world will no longer be smooth."

What Danzo said at this time was his true thoughts.

Danzo also figured out that the reason why Sarutobi Hiruzen didn't kill him was because the two of them were one light and one darkness, one black and one white.

In a sense, the two of them are indispensable.

Sarutobi Hiruzen is the Hokage bathed in the sun, and Danzo is the root buried deep underground.

So Danzo's hostility towards Sarutobi dissipated, and he gave another reminder before leaving.

"Also, be careful of Uchiha Che, I also invited him, although he didn't agree, he didn't refuse."

Sarutobi Hiruzen murmured with his pipe in his mouth: "Uchiha Che... huh."

After Danzo left, Kakashi also returned to the village on the same day.

"Come in."

This time Kakashi knocked on the door and came in from the main door.

Kakashi heard the words and walked into the Hokage's office.

"Hokage, the mission was successfully completed without casualties."

"Very good, well done, Kakashi."

Kakashi lowered his head and ignored Sarutobi's praise, but reported a very important piece of information.

"The person responsible for assassinating the Hokage is a Wood Release Ninja, a subordinate of Danzo."

"Oh?" Sarutobi Hiruzen raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by the news.

"Could it be that the experiment was successful..."

Sarutobi muttered quietly, but Kakashi heard it keenly.

After the report, Kakashi absent-mindedly left the Hokage's office. Kakashi, who was supposed to go home to rest, came to Che's house.

"You are here. Have you completed the task assigned to you by Danzo?"

Che asked as he let Kakashi in.

"Completed. I chose the side of the third generation and told him the information. Danzo's assassination plan has failed."

"However, during the assassination, I found a wood escape ninja..."

"Wood escape ninja?" Che pretended that he had never heard of it. Che really hadn't heard of it. After all, he saw it with his own eyes.

"That's right. Although he is not strong now, he will definitely play a role for Konoha in the future, so I didn't kill him."

"The third generation should know the inside story. He said it was related to some experiment, but I didn't take the initiative to ask."

Kakashi told everything he knew, and it was obvious that he still cared about it.

So Che said: "Wood Release Ninja, experiment, I heard from Orochimaru about the experiment of transplanting Hashirama cells into babies to create Wood Release Ninja more than ten years ago."

"Calculate the age, the age of the Wood Release boy is exactly the same."

Kakashi nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly realized something and looked at Che, "How do you know it's a boy?"

Che realized that he had let something slip, so he made up for it: "Danzo sent that boy to invite me to assassinate the Hokage together. At that time, I saw that the boy was highly valued by Danzo and must have something to rely on. I didn't expect that this reliance was Wood Release."

Kakashi was successfully persuaded and nodded and said: "Yes, Danzo entrusted such an important matter to him, which really shows his trust."

Che added: "If you want to know more details, you can go to the Konoha archives to find out."

So Kakashi sneaked into the archives of the Hokage building that night, thinking that he would only take the information of the Wood Release experiment that year.

After searching, Kakashi successfully found the information.

"In order to study Wood Release, so many casualties were caused?"

Kakashi saw a terrible death toll from the experiment.

This means that the only successful person in this experiment was the Wood Release boy, and his data should have been hidden by Danzo.

"Yes, the experiment of transplanting Hashirama's cells caused too many casualties, so I called a halt."

"I didn't expect Danzo to get a successful experimenter."

Sarutobi Hiruzen appeared in the archives room at some point, scaring Kakashi.

"Hokage, I'm sorry, I'm not..."

Faced with Kakashi's salute and apology, Sarutobi Hiruzen said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, I noticed your reaction when I talked about the experiment. Young people are always so eager to learn, I don't blame you."
