Naruto: The Hidden Protector

Chapter 72

In the Land of Fire not far from Konohagakure in the shadows hundreds of ninjas surrounded a waterfall that seemed natural at first glance. But behind this waterfall is the secret base where Danzo Shimura, the true darkness of Konoha, is hiding.

Hiashi, who is leading the scout team, signalled his men to completely map out the terrain. They cannot let Danzo escape from here so Shikaku ordered that no one would make a move until every exit is secured.

After a few minutes Hiashi presented a small map to Shikaku. After glancing at it for a few times Shikaku swiftly divided everyone into a few teams to secure the exits. After all his men were in position Shikaku gave the order to attack.

The Uchiha clan was the first to make a move as they attacked each entrance with their signature Great FireBall Jutsu. Behind them the Anbu ninjas were the second to move. They swiftly dealt with the Root members who were caught in the fire blast and advanced forward.

Hiashi and his clan members were like guides as they walked through the enemy base like it was a walk in the park. Of course this is only possible because the Uchiha members were like war machines as they harvested the lives of every root member who came their way.

But even the Uchiha clan paled in comparison when the two Anbu ninjas made their move. One was a silver haired man who had his signature lightning jutsu gathered in his hand while the other. A 13 year old kid who had his short swords at the ready while his Three Tomoe Sharingan spin like crazy.

Both of them were like death gods as they killed many Root ninjas in a matter of seconds. The Root ninja squad captain who was brainwashed to be emotionless were terrified as they watched the duo kill off all his men.

And before he could even move he too was killed by them in the next second. In last breath he only heard the chirping of a thousand birds.

Shikaku who also saw this frowned as he contemplated, ‘ why are these two so active? I can understand kakashi somewhat but why is Itachi also this aggressive? Is he angry because of what Danzo did to the Uchiha clan? ‘

But after a few seconds he shook his head and thought, ‘ well it doesn’t matter. As long as those two don’t hinder the mission I shouldn’t interfere. ‘. After surveying the battlefield again Shikaku ordered,” Team Ro continue your advance and leave the rest to the third Hokage’s team. “

He then turned to Inoichi and said, “ Make sure the other teams have continuous communication. We can’t let Danzo get away by any of those exits. “

“ I know that’s why I’m constantly checking everyone every few seconds. “ Inoichi said with a serious expression.

While Kakashi and the rest continued on the offensive he and the Yamanaka clan members are doing their best to keep the information network running. In this situation every second counts so as soon as one of them spotted Danzo the whole team would be there in a second to capture him.

While Konoha ninjas were advancing at a rapid pace inside the base, Danzo, the owner of the hidden base was not having a good time.

Everything happened so fast that he was too stunned to do anything. He was just as usual in his seat thinking of a perfect plan to take his revenge when he was suddenly informed that his base was being surrounded by Konoha ninjas.

Danzo had a million questions and those were, ‘ how did they find this place? Why wasn’t he aware of this plan? How did they come here undetected until now ? ‘. But sadly there is no one who could answer Danzo.

Danzo for the first time of his life was panicking like crazy. His strongest bodyguards are not with him as he had sent them on a mission. Furthermore, since it has not been more than a few days since he came to this base , he was not able to prepare many traps like he would do in any of his secret bases.

Now he is like a mouse that is trapped in a cage waiting for the cat to slowly come and eventually devour him whole.

“I refuse to go down like this. I will become Hokage. “ Danzo said as his eyes grew colder and more insane.

“Go and kill all the intruders. No matter who dies I want them all dead. “ Danzo said as he ordered his remaining men go on a suicide mission.

“Yes Lord Danzo “they all said as they rushed towards the battleground. They didn’t feel anything as Danzo sacrificed them. In the root emotions are no longer something they could have.

After they left Danzo began to walk to a nearby wall. After injecting a bit of his chakra and doing a few hand signs he opened a secret compartment in his office. If one were to look inside it they would have been traumatised for life.

Inside there are numerous glass containers that are filled with a green liquid. And what’s terrifying is that in that liquid there is a pair of eyes. And these are not just any eyes, they are Sharingans.

And in that compartment there are about 50 of these bottles. And apart from these glass containers ,there are several miscellaneous objects like cash and several scrolls packed in the corner.

This is Danzo’s secret stash. The only thing he is reluctant to part with. And this is why he is taking all of this before escaping from this place.

Although Danzo was on the verge of insanity he still had the rationality to understand that he has no chance in killing everyone who came to capture him. So that is why he would escape for now and have his revenge on them later.

Just as he was about to collect everything a chilling voice was heard behind him, “ My my that’s quite the collection. The darkness of Konoha truly lived up to his fame. “

It took Danzo less than a second to react as he threw a kunai at the enemy who was behind him. But much to his surprise the Kunai went through him without leaving any injuries.

“Oh how scary, “ Obito said with usual jovial tone.

Danzo narrowed his eyes as he looked at the masked man with heightened vigilance. He recognized the uniform he was wearing, “Akatsuki “ Danzo said with a grave tone. He still remembered the day he witnessed the true terror of that Uzumaki brat.

And looking at the sharingan on his eye Danzo also released something else. “ You , you are the one who attacked Konoha by controlling the nine tails “

“ Yes, that’s right. My name is Madara Uchiha it i who controlled the nine tails that day “ Obito said with an arrogant tone.

Hearing his words Danzo grew even more warrier. He didn’t know why this person came here but he knows that it isn’t anything that would help him. Furthermore he may come here to take revenge on him for what he did to the Akatsuki in the past.

“ Oh don’t be afraid. I’m not here to take revenge, in fact I’m here to offer you a deal, “ Obito said with a cold smile that Danzo couldn’t see because it was covered by his mask.

Danzo narrowed his eyes but he still lowered his weapon. He looked at Obito and said, “ I’m listening. “
