Chapter 20: Ch.20 Roar of the Beast Over the Village
Uchiha Shinji didn't rush.
He waited for a little while longer to ensure Danzo had gone far enough, then used the Transformation Jutsu to increase his height, transforming into an ANBU uniform, and dashed toward the Root base!
The Root base was underground, so there were no other doors or windows—only this one underground entrance disguised by the rundown building.
As expected.
This sole entrance was guarded around the clock by Root shinobi.
Shinji had anticipated this, so before the surprise attack, he had already activated his Mangekyō Sharingan.
When the Root shinobi guarding the entrance spotted him and called out to verify his identity, Shinji immediately cast a genjutsu, taking control of the guard.
"Take me to Danzo's secret vault!" he ordered.
However, the Root shinobi under the influence of the genjutsu didn't move, his expression showing resistance.
"Huh!?" Shinji was surprised.
He hadn't formally trained in genjutsu, nor had anyone taught him the technique, but up until now, his Mangekyō Sharingan's power had been enough to force his way through without fail.
