Chapter 299: Sealing Release
Once the world finished swirling, her vision fully cleared.
She found herself standing just outside the area where she and Jasper would meet later. Now with the knowledge of an hour's worth of the future at her disposal, she wouldn't let the opportunity go to waste.
She moved quickly down the passage, careful not to be seen, until she arrived at Danzō's sanctum. She tried to open the door, only to find it locked like before.
"Crap," she said to herself. "I forgot!"
Yet she was far from out of options; she recalled the shape of the key that Hiruzen had used to open the door.
"Wood style: hand tool manipulation!"
Focused on her finger, wood sprouted, twisted, and then coiled until it morphed into an exact replica of the key. Satisfied by her creation, she inserted it into the keyhole. There was a click, and the door silently swung open.
She stepped inside, but the moment she did, she heard the sound of footsteps approaching.
This caused her to panic slightly, for she hadn't fully thought through everything. What would she say? How would she even begin to confront a man she knew she was going to kill soon?
Before she could formulate a plan, Danzō walked in, and her heart sank at the sight before her.
The grizzled elder was a tad surprised to see an unassuming thirteen-year-old kunoichi. Yet the intensity of his eyes still bore down on her.
