Zongman: Starting with the Samsara Eye, I Became the God of Ninja World

Seeing that Obito didn't respond, he could only mutter to himself:

"However, in order to avenge myself against Uchiha Rukawa, I have no choice but to activate the projects that are not yet completed!"

"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Take me to see your secret weapon!"

Obito frowned and urged.

Danzo reverted to his usual stern expression, stopped arguing, and swiftly formed a special hand seal before slamming his hands heavily against the base's gate.

Boom! !

The heavy base gates slowly opened to both sides, and Danzo stepped in first.

Inside the base, the lights were bright, and Root personnel dressed as researchers were busy at work.

They were surprised to see Danzo arrive.

After all, this place is usually extremely closed off; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a secluded little world!

Apart from the Root ninjas who deliver supplies on time, almost no outsiders come.

Even Danzo, the leader of Root, has never been here except for the time he appeared when this base was built.

This is Danzo's second time here, and he's bringing outsiders with him this time.

This gave the researchers here a feeling that something big was about to happen!

Soon, the person in charge here, Shigaraki Tanuki, rushed over.

He knelt on one knee before Danzo and respectfully said:

"Lord Danzo, the fact that you have come here in person suggests that something significant has happened!"

Because this place is extremely isolated, Shigaraki Tanuki is currently unaware of everything happening in the outside world.

Danzo offered no explanation, but instead gave the direct order:

"I'm going to launch the 'Bull-Headed Heavenly King' plan!"

"So soon they're going to activate 'Ox-Headed Heavenly King'?! What major event happened on August 23rd, Lord Danzo?!"

Xinle Tanuki was startled and asked in confusion.

"Follow my orders. Do you need to worry about the rest?"

Danzo looked at his long-unseen subordinate and coldly reprimanded him:

"It seems I haven't been here for a long time. You seem to have forgotten the duties of a Root ninja!"

Root ninjas only need to obey orders; everything else must be considered!

"Yes, Lord Danzo! It was my oversight!"

Xinle Tanuki quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake, cold sweat seeping from her forehead.

"Lord Danzo, please come with me!"

After receiving Danzo's signal, he stood up and led the group to a laboratory.

This is a huge laboratory.

There were only a few scattered lighting fixtures on the ceiling.

Due to insufficient lighting, although the laboratory space was large, it was dark all around except for the central area.

In the very center of the laboratory, there is an enormous experimental culture instrument that occupies almost half of the laboratory space.

The experimental culture apparatus was filled with green liquid.

At this moment, a strangely shaped monster is soaking in the green solution.

Its face resembles that of an ape, with the body of a raccoon, the limbs of a tiger, and the tail of a snake.

This strange-looking creature was none other than Danzo's secret weapon, cultivated through his research on the First Hokage's cells.

Its name is "Nue", or you could call it "Bull-Headed Heavenly King"!

"This is the secret weapon you were talking about?!"

Obito looked at the Nue in the container, his brows furrowed, and he said coldly:

"In my perception, its chakra level is at most that of a Jonin."

In fact, his strength is not even as good as that of an ordinary summoned beast!

Danzo, this piece of trash, you're telling me he could help me test out Uchiha Rukawa's full strength?!

It can destroy the Uchiha clan?! Even destroy the entire Hidden Leaf Village?!

Obito fixed his icy gaze on Danzo and said coldly:

"Danzo, you'd better give me an explanation right now, or everyone on this foundation will be buried with you for your foolish actions!"

"You bastard! Who gave you permission to speak to Lord Danzo like that!"

One of the Root ninjas guarding the area couldn't hold back any longer when he saw Danzo being scolded like a son!

Eager to prove his loyalty, he drew his ninja sword and instantly attacked Obito.

Seeing this, Danzo did not stop him, but stood there quietly watching, deciding to use one of his subordinates to test Obito's strength first.

This is his most important base, and the Root ninjas he has stationed here are not only numerous, but also the elite of the elite.

At this moment, in the surrounding darkness, more than a dozen sharp gazes were fixed on Obito.

Here, Danzo felt he had the confidence to challenge the mysterious man before him.

As the darkness of Konoha, he couldn't stand being manipulated all the time!

"Dare to disrespect Lord Danzo? Die!!"

In less than a breath, the Root ninjas had already reached Obito.

Holding a sharp ninja sword, he aimed it at the neck and slashed diagonally.

Swish! !

"what?!"

The Root ninja stared in astonishment at the ninja sword he held in his hand.

He just passed right through Obito's body, sword and all.

"Ant that doesn't know whether to live or die!"

Obito turned slightly to the side, extended an arm, spread his five fingers, and placed his palm against the back of the Root ninja.

next moment,

A dozen or so sharp wooden splinters of varying sizes shot out from his palm.

—Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique!

Puff puff puff puff! ! !

Before the Root ninja could react, his body was instantly pierced by wooden spikes, blood flowed all over the ground, and he was already a corpse.

"This is space-time ninjutsu! And wood release! You, who are you?!"

Danzo's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in shock.

He was filled with deep regret, for he possessed space-time ninjutsu and Wood Release.

With this kind of strength, he's probably on par with that monster, Uchiha Rukawa!

Flattening his base would be an easy task!

Whoosh whoosh! !

At the same time, more than a dozen Root ninjas emerged from the shadows and surrounded Danzo, drawing their weapons and looking at Obito as if facing a formidable enemy.

"I've said it before, I am Uchiha Madara!"

Obito raised his head and repeated once again the identity he was currently playing.

Then, looking at Danzo, he said indifferently:

"Danzo, it seems you're courting death!"

"Hehe! Lord Ban, you misunderstand. That was a subordinate; I did not give him any orders."

This was his own decision, and it has nothing to do with me!

Now, he has paid the price for his foolish actions, and he deserves it!

Danzo chuckled dryly, quickly disclaiming any involvement. Pointing to the nue in the container, he continued to defend himself.

"Lord Ban, I was just about to explain the capabilities of this secret weapon to you."

Unexpectedly, my subordinate acted too impulsively, daring to attack you without my orders! He deserves to die!

Having said that, he looked at the Root ninjas protecting him and began to reprimand them:

"What are you doing?! This is Madara Uchiha, a figure renowned throughout the ninja world, a distinguished guest of Root. Put away your weapons and leave immediately."

After the dozen or so Root ninjas disappeared into the shadows, Danzo turned to look at the Nue soaking in the container and abruptly changed the subject.

"Lord Ban, let's name this creature 'Nue'."

Don't be fooled by its current low chakra level (only Jonin level) and weak strength; it's only temporarily weak because it possesses an extremely powerful ability.

That is, it can absorb chakra indefinitely, and as the amount of chakra increases, its size grows larger and its strength increases accordingly.

As long as a stable and sufficient supply of chakra is provided, Nue's strength will inevitably reach Kage level, and even surpass Kage level!

After a moment's pause, seeing that Obito was distracted by his words and showed no intention of making a move, Danzo breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he smiled and said smugly:

"Of course, this is not its core capability."

Its true destructive power lies in its self-destruction; the more chakra it absorbs, the stronger its self-destruction becomes!

"If we absorb enough chakra, destroying the entire Hidden Leaf Village will be a piece of cake!"

"In that case, let's get moving!"

Obito raised an eyebrow and urged him gently.

Danzo turned his head, pointed at the spring, and instructed Shigaraki Tanuki:

"Seal the Nue inside this brat!"

"This... Lord Danzo, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult!"

Shigaraki Tanuki hesitated before speaking, but seeing Danzo frowning at him, he quickly explained:

"The research progress of the Nue is less than 50%, and many functions are not yet perfected, so the risk of it getting out of control is very high!"

If things get out of control, all our research will be in vain, resulting in huge losses, and...

"say no more!"

Before he could finish speaking, Danzo coldly interrupted him.

"Don't overthink it. Nue is just a disposable item. Its only purpose is to wipe out the Uchiha clan!"

"Yes!"

Without further ado, Shigaraki Tanuki took the Izumi from the Root ninja and began to inscribe the sealing formula.

On the other side, Rukawa saw his childhood dream come true—his school was gone.

It was reduced to ruins, likely caused by the aftershocks of that day's battle!

Right now, many construction workers are working on rebuilding the school.

Rukawa inquired and learned that the school would not open until the construction was completed.

After thanking the worker, Rukawa prepared to go to Naruto's house.

According to information provided by the Uchiha clan, Naruto's residence is an old residential building.

But when they got there, they found that Naruto wasn't home.

If he wasn't having lunch at home in the middle of the day, then that was the only place he could go. Rukawa turned and walked in one direction.
