Naruto: We Uchiha only want to make money.

Chapter 85: The Fourth Raikage Appears, Danzo's Fury, Uchiha Shingetsu, You Disregard the Big P

"But that Uchiha Shingetsu has always been eyeing our Root with hostility. What if he secretly colludes with Kumogakure and leaks our information?" The other subordinates of Root asked, seeing their Lord Danzo so confident.

I couldn't help but remind them.

After all, the methods used in the ninja world are all shady.

"That's even more impossible. Shen Yue is only ten years old. What intelligence channels could he possibly have to communicate with Yunyin?"

"It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he simply can't do it!" Danzo analyzed with certainty.

"Lord Danzo's wisdom and strategy are unparalleled!" The other subordinates were also full of admiration after hearing Danzo's analysis.

Check it out!

That's professionalism!

"With the Hashirama cells transplanted into my arm and the Sharingan embedded in it, I do have a chance to tame the Tailed Beasts and suppress the Jinchuriki."

"That Uchiha Shingetsu is laughable. He thought he could outsmart me, but little did he know, he just made things easier for me!"

"If only I could control the power of the Tailed Beasts!"

"I can completely overwhelm Hiruzen and show him who is truly capable of ruling the ninja world in Konoha." Danzo gently rubbed his bandaged arm.

They had gone through countless hardships before.

He finally achieved initial fusion with Hashirama's cells and gained control over those Sharingan.

However, Danzo's smile vanished the next moment.

The other Root ninjas also instantly turned grim and looked extremely ugly.

Dozens of figures suddenly appeared from all directions.

These men had dark, almost iron-like skin; some had blond hair, others white, and all exuded a sharp, menacing aura. They were the elite Cloud Village troops who had received advance intelligence leaked by Orochimaru and had long been lying in wait, laying a trap for their prey!

And the most eye-catching one of them was none other than the Fourth Raikage.

He was burly and muscular, with crackling blue lightning crackling around him, like a thunderous beast poised to pounce, his eyes wide open, fixed on Danzo.

"The Fourth Raikage!" Danzo recognized the other party's identity at a glance.

"Shimura Danzo!" The Fourth Raikage's blond hair flowed behind him, his eyes sharp as lightning, staring intently at Danzo, as if he wanted to pierce through him.

He looked at Danzo and roared angrily.

"You treacherous rat! You dared to send someone to assassinate my Cloud Village's envoy, and now you even dare to plot against our Jinchūriki! All of this is a death sentence for you!"

"Damn it!" Danzo was both shocked and furious upon hearing the Fourth Raikage's roar. He immediately realized that the information had been leaked!

Moreover, the other party knew everything about their top-secret mission of "kidnapping a Jinchuriki"!

This is definitely a high-ranking traitor within Konoha, or a setup aimed at him from the very beginning! He instantly thought of Uchiha Shingetsu.

Although he was also intentional about this, the killing of the Cloud Hidden Envoy was clearly Shen Yue's doing, so how did it get pinned on him?

"Could it really be him?"

"It's definitely him!"

"Does he really not consider the bigger picture?" His heart sank, followed by immense anger.

This Uchiha Shingetsu is so inconsiderate of the bigger picture!

Just because he's not involved in the big picture, does that mean he can do this?

That's incredibly petty!

Before he could even offer an explanation or consider a solution, the Fourth Raikage had already ordered his men to take action: "Take down these Konoha scum! Dead or alive!"

"Yes!" The Cloud Village elites around them responded in unison, their Lightning Release chakra exploding and transforming into streaks of lightning as they rushed toward the "Root" team members brought by Danzo.

Meanwhile, the Fourth Raikage himself was engulfed in a burst of lightning, pushing his Lightning Release Chakra Mode to its limit. Like a real lightning bolt, he charged straight toward Danzo with a deafening roar that tore through the air!

A fierce battle erupted between the two sides instantly.

Although the Root team members were also elite, they were quickly overwhelmed by the superior numbers of the Cloud Village ninjas, who were well-prepared, generally skilled in Lightning Release taijutsu, and incredibly fast. Meanwhile, Danzo was forced to face the Fourth Raikage, A, in a state of rage and at full power!

"Armor of Thunder!"

Facing the Fourth Raikage, A, a powerful lightning release erupted from his body, his muscles bulging, and his strength was terrifying.

His body was instantly revitalized by Lightning Release chakra, and then he pushed off the ground and swooped down towards Danzo.

boom!

The ground beneath his feet instantly crumbled, creating a crater several meters deep.

He himself struck Danzo like a thunderbolt.

"What an amazing speed!"

Faced with this lightning-fast and ferocious attack, Danzo remained calm despite his surprise. His rich combat experience and Kage-level strength allowed him to react instantly.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Danzo quickly formed hand seals and forcefully exhaled, unleashing several highly compressed, visibly sharp wind blades in a fan shape that slashed forward, attempting to block or slow the Raikage's momentum while buying himself time to use other methods.

However, the Fourth Raikage was too fast. The extreme explosive power and physical activation brought by the Lightning Release Chakra Mode made him like a real blue lightning bolt. Faced with the incoming vacuum wave, he did not choose to withstand it head-on. Instead, he made an incredible Z-shaped sudden change of direction while moving at extremely high speed, easily avoiding the area with the densest wind blades. The aftershock hit the Lightning Release armor on his body, only splashing a few sparks, and failed to cause effective damage.

In the blink of an eye, Raikage had already covered a distance of a hundred meters, and his fist, carrying destructive power, slammed into Danzo's face!

"Lightning Release: Heavy Flow Storm!"

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly, his body sliding to the side in a strange way. At the same time, his cane pointed out like a venomous snake, the tip of the cane gathering an extremely sharp point of wind release chakra, stabbing towards the Raikage's wrist joint. The angle was tricky and ruthless, attempting to use skill to break through force.

However, the Raikage's fighting style has always been head-on confrontation, using brute force to overcome skill.

He neither dodged nor evaded, but the lightning on his fist became even more intense, and his speed increased further. He chose to confront Danzo's cane head-on!

"Bang!"

The wind-style technique at the tip of the cane clashed violently with the lightning-style technique on the lightning fist, producing a deafening explosion! The shockwave and electric lightning scattered wildly, blowing away all the dust and debris around the two of them!

Danzo felt an overwhelming force coming from his cane, his arm trembled violently, and he was thrown back several meters, leaving two deep furrows in the ground.

He was secretly astonished: "Such powerful strength! The Lightning Release Chakra Mode's enhancement truly lives up to its reputation!"

The Raikage's attack was slightly halted by the sharp cutting force of the Wind Release, and a tiny crack appeared on the lightning armor on his fist, but it was quickly repaired by more lightning chakra.

His fighting spirit intensified, and he roared, "Is this all the Hidden Ninja of Konoha is capable of?!" Then, his figure transformed into lightning once more, unleashing an even more ferocious series of attacks.

On the other side, the battle between the "Root" squad and the Cloud Village elites was also extremely fierce.

Cloud Ninjas are generally skilled in Lightning Release taijutsu, are fast, have strong attack power, and work together seamlessly.

The members of "Root" were more skilled in infiltration, assassination, and stealthy ninjutsu. Coupled with their numerical disadvantage and the fact that the enemy was well-prepared, they quickly fell into a disadvantageous position.
