Chapter 207 : Escsape!!
"With such a huge disturbance, how can I not step in?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen glanced at Shimura Danzo, his eyes filled with gloom.
The appearance of such a massive force had already caught the attention of the other major clans in Konoha. If nothing unexpected had happened, someone must have already come to investigate.
However, the Root stayed on the outskirts, and no one dared to interfere.
If he appeared now, it would not be hard to justify.
After all, when the Fourth Hokage faced the Nine-Tails alone, it already left some people dissatisfied that Hiruzen didn't intervene. This time, the situation had been going on long enough. If he didn't show up now, it would be even harder to defend.
"Heh... You don't need to get involved. This will end soon enough!" Danzo replied confidently. "Today, the Uchiha clan will be destroyed. You can just sit back and watch. You can join in when it's almost over."
He was confident in the abilities of his Root ninjas, not to mention having the powerful Itachi Uchiha on his side.
"Heh? It will end soon? Haven't you noticed something odd?" Sarutobi Hiruzen sneered. Danzo was far too confident.
"Hiruzen, what are you trying to say?" Danzo frowned. He felt like there was more to Hiruzen's words.
"Someone is stopping Itachi. You know that!" Sarutobi Hiruzen responded calmly, his tone cold and silent.
