Both of their expressions changed simultaneously.
They saw massive amounts of gold dust surging high all around them, turning into an existence like city walls.
"Shiro-Suna Koichi, you betrayed me!"
Danzo glared at Shiro-Suna Koichi.
Seeing this surging gold dust in front of him, how could Danzo not recognize it as Rasa's ability?
Shiro-Suna Koichi was very panicked.
"I didn't!"
"It's Rasa! Rasa tailed me!"
But Danzo didn't believe it at all.
His carefully prepared twelve assassination ninja failed so easily, not even injuring a single person. This had already made Danzo suspicious of Shiro-Suna Koichi.
Now, Shiro-Suna Koichi had just appeared here, and Rasa followed right behind.
To say Shiro-Suna Koichi had no problems, Danzo absolutely couldn't believe it.
"Fine, you Shiro-Suna Koichi. I knew those words of yours were all fabricated. To think I even believed you. You are the first in the ninja world who dares to deceive me, Danzo!"
"Die!"
Danzo quickly formed hand seals.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
An extremely huge wind sphere condensed from Wind Style chakra rushed fiercely toward Shiro-Suna Koichi.
Shiro-Suna Koichi's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly retreated.
"Danzo, I said, it wasn't me!"
"If you attack me, you've fallen for it!"
"Don't you want that intelligence I possess anymore?"
Shiro-Suna Koichi felt very aggrieved and anxious.
He clearly did nothing, but Danzo didn't trust him at all.
Moreover, Shiro-Suna Koichi knew very well that now that he was tailed and caught up by Rasa, his act of betraying the Sand Village must have been known by Rasa.
At this time, the only one who could save him was Danzo.
"It's Rasa, it's all Rasa's problem."
"He must have seen through the sneak attack of the ninja you sent and obtained my situation from their mouths, so he quietly chased in the direction I fled."
"If I were in cahoots with Rasa, why would Rasa wait until now to act?"
"Wouldn't he act directly upon seeing you, Danzo?"
"I could have acted first to attract your attention, and then he could sneak attack."
In such an urgent situation, Shiro-Suna Koichi's brain worked fast, coming up with an explanation he felt could most easily persuade Danzo, striving for a sliver of survival for himself.
Hearing this, Danzo felt there was some reason.
However, in this situation, Danzo himself was hard-pressed to save himself, having no time to care about Shiro-Suna Koichi.
That move just now was an attack, yes.
But actually, Danzo wanted to use that ninjutsu to create distance for himself.
Danzo was very wary of Rasa.
Suppressing a clan alone, killing four of the Seven Ninja Swordsmen alone in succession, this wasn't something ordinary ninja could do.
Danzo himself didn't have such confidence.
Even if Shiro-Suna Koichi really had no problems, even if the intelligence Shiro-Suna Koichi possessed was really valuable, all prerequisites were that he could leave alive today.
Danzo turned around and broke out outward.
Shiro-Suna Koichi looked at Danzo's back and fell into despair.
Without Danzo, facing Rasa, facing Sand ninja, how could he live?
Before completing his revenge on Pakura, was he going to be killed by Pakura's husband?
Was his whole family going to die at the hands of Pakura's family?
Strong unwillingness and anger condensed in Shiro-Suna Koichi's heart.
"Pakura!"
Just at this moment.
"Sand soldiers, emerge!"
Two sand soldiers appeared out of thin air on the ground.
One in front of Shiro-Suna Koichi, one behind Shiro-Suna Koichi.
The two sand soldiers thrust the spears in their hands toward Shiro-Suna Koichi simultaneously.
Since he saw Danzo, Shiro-Suna Koichi no longer had any value.
People who betray the village deserve to die!
Shiro-Suna Koichi dodged the attack of the front sand soldier but didn't dodge the one behind.
Squelch!
A spear pierced straight in, penetrating Shiro-Suna Koichi's entire body. The spear tip emerged from his chest, blood flowing down the spear and dripping onto the sand.
"Rasa!"
Shiro-Suna Koichi looked at Rasa angrily.
"You handle things unfairly. For Pakura, you ignore right and wrong."
"Greedy and lecherous!"
"You are not fit to be the Kazekage!"
"The Beni-yama clan rebelled for a reason."
Rasa didn't even spare a glance at Shiro-Suna Koichi.
Shiro-Suna Koichi prepared to continue cursing loudly.
But.
Squelch!
Another sand soldier accurately thrust its spear into Shiro-Suna Koichi's throat.
Shiro-Suna Koichi's mouth opened wide, but no sound could come out.
Rasa's gaze fell on Danzo.
Sand soldiers appeared scattered around, as if spawned randomly.
All the Root ninja brought by Danzo came out.
Danzo and Rasa looked at each other.
A great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
"Rasa!"
Danzo's face was livid, staring fixedly at Rasa.
"Rasa, you are good. At such a young age, to have such means. No wonder you could become the Fourth Kazekage. This matter was all single-handedly planned by Shiro-Suna Koichi."
"Now Shiro-Suna Koichi is dead."
"Let this matter end here, how about it?"
Rasa laughed.
"Danzo, what do you take my Sand Village for? Come as you please, leave as you please?"
Before his voice fell, a large amount of gold dust pounced toward Danzo's position. At the same time, the sand soldiers rushed fiercely toward the Root ninja brought by Danzo, holding shields in one hand and spears in the other.
Two ninja guarded by Danzo's side.
Suddenly.
"Mind Transfer Jutsu!"
A figure hiding behind Danzo was a ninja from the Yamanaka clan.
However, Rasa had anticipated this long ago.
Danzo created Root, collecting many orphan ninja and also cooperating with quite a few ninja clans.
Among them, besides the Shimura clan, the Yamanaka clan and the Aburame clan were existences relatively close to Danzo.
The Yamanaka clan's secret jutsu was very special.
The Mind Transfer Jutsu could project one's soul into another's body.
However, this involved a problem of chakra volume and soul strength.
"Success!"
The Yamanaka ninja hurriedly controlled Rasa's body, wanting to make Rasa commit suicide.
Danzo looked delighted.
But before that.
Squelch!
A sand soldier appeared behind the Yamanaka ninja and stabbed with a spear.
After using the Mind Transfer Jutsu, the user's own body would fall into a defenseless state and must rely on others for protection.
Rasa had long discovered this Yamanaka ninja through the Byakugan.
Letting the opponent's ninjutsu hit was intentional.
Intentionally getting hit, then using the sand soldier to kill this Yamanaka ninja.
To avoid this Yamanaka ninja giving him a hit later during the fierce battle with Danzo.
Solving it in advance now was undoubtedly a better choice.
The moment he was stabbed, the Yamanaka ninja's soul returned uncontrollably to his own body. Eyes wide, he looked back at that sand soldier, revealing unwillingness.
But he could no longer do anything.
Danzo's face, which had just shown delight, stiffened instantly.
