Chapter 82: What the Village Has
When Izayoi got serious, the Root members were instantly powerless to resist.
Faced with the inescapable attraction and repulsion, they could neither flee, nor could any of their ninjutsu and secret techniques avoid being ruthlessly blasted away.
Even genjutsu was completely ineffective.
Furthermore, even if they chose to escape and melded into the darkness, they would be pursued and killed by the human puppets skilled in Lightning Release nature transformation.
Soon, apart from Danzo Shimura, who had become a vegetable, and one individual Izayoi deliberately let hide, all the Root members were killed by the Kurozuki clan.
As each Root member fell, beams of light of different colors flew from their corpses towards Izayoi.
There were green ones, blue ones, and purple ones...
"Decompose."
"Decompose."
"Decompose all..."
Faced with the system notification's relentless barrage, Izayoi chose to decompose everything.
In an instant, his points skyrocketed again, reaching – [97277].
Looking at the number in the points column, Izayoi was both happy and pained.
He was happy that a single Root organization had provided him with over eighty thousand points, nearly one-tenth of the unknown level fragments.
He was pained because this was obtained through a complete wipeout.
Such an elite force as the Root organization was rare even in the entire ninja world.
For Izayoi, who could repeatedly farm skill entries, this was a money tree that would constantly grow golden coins.
The best approach would be to come and harvest every once in a while.
However, Izayoi hated being coveted and didn't intend to save Hiruzen Sarutobi.
So, to avoid being targeted by Danzo Shimura, Izayoi chose to strike first and eliminate Danzo Shimura.
Having missed the Konoha Crush, Izayoi wouldn't find such a good opportunity again.
Even if he could force a kill, it would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Although Izayoi's Transformation Technique was perfect, it couldn't change his chakra signature, making the risk of exposure extremely high.
Having already formed bonds in Konoha, Izayoi didn't want to live the life of a feared rogue ninja.
Raising his hand and making several gestures, he instructed the Shadow Clone at the Naka River to control a batch of puppets to collect the corpses of the Root members into large sealing scrolls. Then, Izayoi used his gravitational power to levitate Danzo Shimura and walked in one direction.
After Izayoi and the puppets had all left, heavy breathing finally echoed from a dark shadow closer to the ceiling.
After only a few breaths, this person held their breath again, not daring to dispel the disguise of their secret technique at all.
As for taking the opportunity to escape, they dared even less.
However, everything about Izayoi's transformation into Pain Tendo, his abilities, and his conversation with Danzo Shimura was recorded by this hidden figure.
Boom—
Arriving before a cliff face connected to the Hokage Rock above, Izayoi placed his hand on it. Repulsive force, like waves, crashed against the cliff face one after another.
The stones, the internal metal, and the seals were all violently blasted open by the repulsive force.
Soon, the entrance to a secret room appeared before Izayoi's eyes.
Inside the secret room were several bookshelves filled with scrolls of various sizes and colors. They were divided into three main areas: intelligence, ninjutsu, and secret techniques.
There was no forbidden jutsu section.
Izayoi would never believe that Danzo Shimura didn't have forbidden jutsu scrolls.
This was also one of the reasons why he had spared one person's life and hadn't immediately killed Danzo Shimura.
Walking to the bookshelf in the secret techniques area, Izayoi just glanced at it and clicked his tongue slightly. "Good heavens, openly collecting the secret techniques of the Yamanaka, Nara, and even Akimichi and Aburame clans. Even the Hokage wouldn't dare to do this. Truly 'Lord Danzo'!"
If this secret room were exposed, Danzo Shimura would definitely incur public outrage.
Secret clan techniques were confidential ninjutsu and foundations within ninja clans that not everyone was qualified to learn.
This was the basic foundation of every ninja clan!
Even a Hokage like Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't dare to plot against these clans' secret techniques.
From this, one could see how much power Danzo Shimura wielded in Konoha and how incredibly audacious he was.
What the village has, I can take; what the village doesn't have, I possess.
Removing this malignant tumor in advance was indeed the right decision.
Scanning the bookshelves, Izayoi quickly found what he wanted.
He took out a small red scroll from the pile. The seal on it read: Mind Reading Technique.
"Since I haven't awakened the mental sphere yet, I'll make do with this secret technique for now," Izayoi opened the scroll and began to read.
Soon, Izayoi learned the mind-reading secret technique that allowed the Yamanaka clan to firmly control important positions in the interrogation department.
The Yin Release chakra of the ultimate ocular jutsu and the nature transformations automatically acquired upon awakening the Tenseigan allowed Izayoi to learn any ninjutsu as if he were cheating.
Especially his chakra control, which was at the golden level.
This talent was second only to the Tenseigan in its help to Izayoi.
Without this talent, Izayoi would at most have mastered the Super Hurricane Consecutive Spheres or developed Naruto's Wind Release: Rasenshuriken, and he wouldn't have been able to easily fuse two and three nature transformations into various ultimate techniques.
If this talent couldn't be further elevated in the future, then after upgrading his Otsutsuki bloodline to an unknown new level, Izayoi's next step would be to upgrade chakra control to a red skill entry.
"Ninja Art: Mind Reading Technique!"
Placing Danzo Shimura on the ground, Izayoi reached out and placed his hand on Danzo's head. Powerful Yin Release chakra instantly seeped into his brain, beginning to read his memories.
Soon, Izayoi obtained the information he wanted.
"So they were all kept in the clan compound. He really was an unscrupulous fellow," Izayoi murmured softly, then seized control of a Shadow Clone and had it bring a human puppet, using a blade to pierce Danzo Shimura's neck, ending the life of this source of calamity.
A purple and a blue beam of light flew from Danzo Shimura's corpse, seeping into Izayoi's body.
After choosing to decompose them, Izayoi's points finally broke through the hundred thousand mark.
Immediately after, Izayoi carried Danzo Shimura's corpse out of the secret room, returning along the original path, allowing the person hiding in the darkness to see Danzo Shimura's corpse with their own eyes.
At the same time, a large number of puppets used the Body Flicker Technique to enter, quickly emptying the scrolls inside.
Danzo Shimura's decades of hard work, the elite subordinates he painstakingly cultivated, the ninjutsu and secret techniques he plundered through various means, and the various intelligence he collected at the cost of countless spies were all now cheap for Izayoi.
The Konoha Crush had only just begun, the villagers hadn't all been evacuated to the shelters, and half of Konoha's foundations had already fallen into Izayoi's hands.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen's good friend had left this world before him.
However, this was far from enough!
Walking out of the underground base, Izayoi glanced in the direction of the central street, the corners of his mouth slightly turning upwards, and then he vanished in a Body Flicker Technique.
