Danzo thought to himself, it's a shame. He still wanted to study the secrets of Neji's body more, but things didn't go as he wished.
In front of so many people, he could scold these two, but he himself had to get rid of Neji in front of them, as a way to account for his words and actions. It's just a pity about the Wood Release…
"However, as long as I can get some of his cells, everything is still possible." Danzo's eyes were indifferent as he controlled one of the wind style throwing stars to slash towards Neji's arm.
This action was naturally noticed by Tsunade and others. Their eyes were about to burst with anger, and they loudly questioned, "Danzo, what do you mean by this?!"
Killing Neji was already difficult for her to accept, but what was Danzo trying to do now? He was actually slashing towards Neji's arm. What was he trying to do? Was he trying to humiliate Neji?!
"This is how my Root handles these rogue ninja," Danzo said in a deep voice, especially emphasizing the words 'Root'.
Tsunade gritted her teeth in anger. This was complete nonsense. Even Root didn't have the habit of dismembering people. What was Danzo trying to do?!
She would naturally not watch Neji die, and Neji would not sit still and wait for death. Just now, he had been careless and fallen for Danzo's trick. He originally wanted to use the Snake Style Substitution Jutsu to avoid this fatal blow, but he didn't expect Tsunade and the others to rush in at this time.
Although it was only for a moment, they did hold back Danzo. For Neji at the moment, that was enough. After landing, Neji fiercely kicked off with his back foot and rushed over quickly.
At the same time, Tsunade and Hyuga Hiashi exchanged a look and immediately took action.
"Eight Trigrams Empty Palm!"
"Heavenly Foot of Pain!"
The two attacked the two wind style throwing stars from the side, causing their attack positions to shift and graze past Neji.
At this time, Neji gripped backhand, tightly holding the thin threads that Danzo used to control the two throwing stars, and guided his Gentle Fist Chakra into them.
Bang!
In the next moment, Danzo seemed to have suffered a heavy blow, and blood spilled from the corner of his mouth. He immediately released the threads in his hand and retreated sharply.
"Tsunade, Hyuga Hiashi, what are you doing?!" Danzo shouted angrily. These two dared to help Neji in public. Were they completely disregarding everything?
Then, Danzo suddenly turned his head, his eyes looking darkly at the others who had followed them, hoping they would give him an opinion.
But then, he was shocked. He saw those people turning away one after another, saying something irrelevant for some unknown reason, clearly acting like 'we can't see anything, whatever you do'.
"You!" Danzo almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He was angered. Anyone could see that these people's shallow acting was deliberate. This made Danzo, who had always been cunning, stunned for a while, and an unnamed fire rose in his heart.
At least I'm one of Konoha's higher-ups, is it really okay to pretend you can't see me like this?
But now, who would care what he thought? They were originally watching with great interest, but Danzo suddenly looked at them. At that moment, they wished they had never come here.
The future Hokage and the Hyuga clan leader, the head of Konoha's number one family, were taking action for a scary Genin who attacked Konoha's Root and had already completely destroyed it, who could already be defined as an "S-rank rogue ninja," and against Danzo, one of the higher-ups in Konoha and the commander of Root.
The unbelievable and unfathomable nature of this made everyone present almost drop their eyeballs in shock, but no matter how you looked at it or thought about it, this was not something they should know.
People who could get to this position were not stupid. At this time, pretending not to see was the best way to go. So, they resolutely chose the "we are all blind" strategy.
Even Might Guy, who was always outgoing, violated his oath of youth and challenging difficulties, and was talking nonsense with Kakashi, not daring to look back at all.
"Hey, Guy, hurry up and help. That's your student," Kakashi teased.
Might Guy looked at the sky speechlessly. After a moment of realization, he came back to his senses and looked at Kakashi, who was smiling kindly at him. He really wanted to punch him a few times.
Kakashi was too much, Might Guy couldn't help but think. How long had it been and his student had already left him behind. As Neji's teacher, he suddenly felt that the world was full of malice towards him.
What was it like to be teaching a student who was better than him all along? To be honest, it was already amazing that he could accurately judge the current situation. If it were someone else, they might have passed out long ago.
Might Guy took a deep look at Kakashi. He should have known not to let Tsunade-sama treat him. Wouldn't it have been better to stay in the hospital, looking up at the clean, white ceiling?
"See, Sarutobi, this is Konoha under your rule. Hmph, it was a mistake for the teacher to leave the Hokage position to you, but I won't make that mistake again," Danzo whispered, his eyes full of coldness.
If others heard his words, they might have cursed him to death. Don't you know what you've done to us? If it weren't for the fact that we can't beat you, who could put up with you until now?!
However, Danzo was still somewhat pleased that his two old comrades, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, did not turn a blind eye like the others.
That was enough. Tsunade attacked a Konoha higher-up to protect a rogue ninja, and now the crime of the Hyuga clan's intention to rebel could be confirmed.
The Konoha Elder Council was established to restrict the Hokage from being too powerful alone. Even if Tsunade was the Hokage, she still needed to refer to the opinions of the Elder Council on many things.
But these were not the most important things. The most important thing was that the Elder Council had a certain right to remove the Hokage from office.
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were his old comrades. Even if they had some prejudice against him because of Konoha's collapse, they would never allow Tsunade and Hyuga Hiashi to attack him.
"Hehe, the Hokage position will ultimately be mine, Danzo's. No one can fight me," Danzo thought happily in his heart, and even his always serious face couldn't help but show some smugness.
"Enough, let's stop this farce," Utatane Koharu said, her words carrying an undisguised arrogance and majesty.
"Ah, let's just let it go. Internal strife has too much of an impact on the village," Mitokado Homura sighed and said.
The words of the two Konoha higher-ups immediately attracted everyone's attention. From their meaning, it seemed that they wanted Danzo and Neji to reconcile, and more importantly, they didn't seem to be preparing to punish Neji.
"This, no way," Might Guy said in surprise. Mitokado Homura was one thing, but Utatane Koharu had been slapped in the face by Neji. How could she speak for Neji?!
