Chapter 79 - Chapter 80: Time Difference

A voice, sounding like a mutter to oneself, or like a sneer, with coldness, and also amusement, very strange, inexplicably odd.

Afterward, Danzo's figure slowly walked out from the dust, a grin spreading across his face: "Is this your power? You're even more impressive than that Kakashi guy."

Danzo was somewhat admiring. Kakashi became a Jonin at 13, which was already genius-level. But Neji, at the same age, had already surpassed elite Jonin, approaching the level of a Kage. This was simply unbelievable.

Even the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara weren't this good, were they? If he had time, he might actually become a ninja who could stand alongside those two.

But even so, the gap between him and the Kage level was still considerable.

This was an opportunity. This power must be used for his own purposes. He had to firmly grasp this power in his hand, because only he was worthy of it.

"Ha, to think that the usually ruthless Danzo would praise someone one day. Truly unexpected," Neji said with a fake smile, his tone extremely cold.

He knew exactly what Danzo was thinking. Although he was somewhat prepared, he still found it hard to bear being treated like a lab rat.

"Hyuga Neji, I won't even ask where you got your Wood Release from, because that no longer matters," Danzo said with a cold smile.

"That is?" Neji narrowed his eyes, watching Danzo pull out two shuriken and inject his wind-style Chakra into them.

Instantly, the two shuriken became incredibly sharp, like the daggers before, and their attack range and speed greatly increased.

"Heh heh." Danzo held the two shuriken enveloped in wind-style Chakra and revealed a cruel smile.

"Wind Style: Shuriken!"

Danzo threw them with force. Although he wouldn't kill Neji, he could still cut off his limbs and leave him half-dead. Anyway, as long as Neji didn't die.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two wind-style shuriken were unstoppable, travelling straight and cutting through the flagstones along the way, making them smooth like mirrors.

This was a bit creepy. You had to know that these flagstones were fragments of the Root base, carefully crafted by Danzo and incredibly strong. Even Neji's super strength could hardly shatter them; he still had to rely on the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

But what was happening now?

These incredibly hard flagstones were actually cut apart, without any resistance, as if they were made of paper. This was truly shocking, making people uneasy. Even Neji couldn't help but frown slightly, not daring to be careless.

Come to think of it, in the original story, it seemed that no one had ever forcibly taken on Danzo's move. Now, the power of this move had completely exceeded Neji's imagination.

"Injecting Chakra of the corresponding element into weapons to enhance their original abilities, is the same principle as refining,"

Neji flipped around in the air, dodging between the two wind-style shuriken, and muttered, "Perhaps this move can be used by me."

If used well, this move might be able to cut through Susanoo, and would be a new killing technique for him.

"Hmm? This is?" At this moment, Neji suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his eyes widened. There were strands of thread wrapped around those two wind-style shuriken.

"Not good!"

Neji was shocked and quickly flipped over, trying to dodge. However, Danzo had anticipated his reaction. He let the two shuriken fly away and didn't pull them back.

"Could it be..." A thread suddenly appeared in Neji's hand, forcibly twisting his body in the air, preparing to face a Ninjutsu.

"Vacuum Wave? Vacuum Serial Waves? Or Vacuum Great Sphere?" Neji's Byakugan stared intently at Danzo, ready for anything.

But at this moment, the corners of Danzo's mouth turned up slightly, a single action that made Neji feel as if he had been doused with cold water, his heart chilling.

"You guessed wrong," Danzo's cold voice sounded, mixed with a hint of excitement. Then, he hooked his hands, and the two wind-style shuriken suddenly turned back, their target still Neji.

"Time difference attack!" Danzo shouted, a grin on his face.

Although Neji had 360-degree vision, at this moment, he was in mid-air. Even if he could see, his body couldn't react.

"Whether it's the Uchiha Clan, or your Hyuga clan, I have already studied how to deal with you. Bloodline limits, heh heh, nothing more than that," Danzo said with bloodlust.

"Danzo, stop!"

At this moment, two cold shouts suddenly sounded. Tsunade flew over immediately, black markings covering her face, clearly having activated the Strength of a Hundred Seal.

She and a group of people had just arrived here when they heard the intense fighting inside, and they rushed over with everyone.

But who knew that as soon as they arrived, they would find Neji and Danzo fighting. And Danzo was clearly gaining the upper hand, Neji was on the verge of death.

So, Tsunade didn't have time to think too much and moved in an instant. She had gathered Chakra at one point, definitely with enough power to make a wind-style shuriken deviate from its path.

At the same time, Hyuga Hiashi also activated his Byakugan, his figure so fast that he had already stretched out his palm, his palm filled with an even stronger Gentle Fist Chakra, to stop the other wind-style shuriken.

"Hmph, Tsunade, before you've even become Hokage, you're already letting someone who attacked Root go?" Danzo said coldly, very displeased: "And you, Hiashi, are you going to betray the village for the sake of your clan member?"

Danzo wasn't surprised by Tsunade and the others' arrival. With such a huge sound, it was impossible for them not to notice the abnormality in Root.

Rather, their coming so late could be considered slow action. Danzo knew exactly what they were thinking, using someone else's hand to wear down Root's strength, to put pressure on him. They just didn't expect Root to be destroyed like this.

Although Root was just a tool of his, it had also taken a lot of his effort. Now that it was destroyed in one go, he was also furious, so he naturally didn't give them a good look.

Tsunade and Hyuga Hiashi's hearts suddenly jumped when they heard Danzo's reprimand, their faces slightly pale.

Root was destroyed like this by Neji?

The two felt their heads suddenly heat up, shocked beyond belief, as if in a dream. Their momentum instantly weakened.

"How could this be?!"

Although Root wasn't liked by others, it was, after all, a major organization protecting Konoha. Now that it had been destroyed like this by Neji… this was a major crime, even if Tsunade became Hokage, she couldn't erase this crime for Neji.

"Hmph!" Danzo snorted coldly, completely ignoring the distracted Tsunade and Hiashi. He and them were never on the same path. They were all obstacles on his path to success.

"I will get rid of you sooner or later. People who don't obey my orders can't exist in this world," Danzo's eyes were gloomy.

However, Neji couldn't be kept.
