Konoha.

The Hokage Building was brightly lit and people were busy coming in and out.

Although the Enma has left, Konoha's aftermath is still underway.

In the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen and two advisory elders were listening to Nara Shikaku's report on casualty statistics.

“Sir, the casualties among the ninjas in the village are not that great. Most of them are injured, and only thirteen ninjas have died.

However, the casualties among the Root Ninjas were extremely heavy, and forty-six bodies of Root Ninjas have been found so far.

As for the situation inside the Root Base, we have no way of knowing it. Elder Danzo refused to allow us to enter the Root Base to help with the aftermath."

After Nara Shikaku left, Utane Koharu spoke up, "Huruzen, the Illuminati attacked twice, both times targeting the Root.

I think Danzo must have done something outside and provoked the Illuminati.

We must ask Danzo what he did outside the village, so that we can find clues about the Illuminati."

"I also have this judgment."

Mito Menyan said.

Sarutobi Hiruzen took a puff of his cigarette, then put down his pipe and said, “Regarding this, I had a deep discussion with Danzo after the Illuminati’s first attack.

Danzo admitted that his Root had carried out many missions outside the village, but had no idea if they were related to the Illuminati.

Upon hearing this, Utane Koharu and Mito Kado En's expressions froze, and then they looked helpless.

Another way to understand Sarutobi Hiruzen's words is that Danzo did too many bad things outside Konoha, and even Danzo himself didn't know when and where he provoked the Illuminati.

At this moment, the office door was pushed open and Jiraiya walked in.

Seeing Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen quickly asked with concern: "Jiraiya, how is Tsunade?"

"Don't worry old man, Tsunade is already asleep and Shizune is taking care of her."

Jiraiya said.

"Ah, I never thought Tsunade would have such a weird disease as hemophobia."

Sarutobi Hiruzen said with a look of pity on his face.

"The deaths of Nawaki and Dan were too much of a shock to Tsunade."

Jiraiya said with a heavy expression.

Then he continued, “Danzo and Uchiha Yuan both refused treatment from the medical department’s ninjas.

The medical department tried to expel the chakra left by the Fire Demon from Kai's body, but this chakra was very difficult to deal with, and it would probably take a long time to completely expel it.

Old man, according to my judgment, the chakra left by the Flame Demon is an extremely powerful fairy chakra.

In my opinion, the strength of this senjutsu chakra is not lower than the chakra level of the tailed beasts."

what!

Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Sarutobi Hiruzen and the other two were all shocked.

"Jiraiya, are you sure you didn't make a mistake!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked with a serious expression.

"Old man, I am sure; regarding Senjutsu Chakra, I believe no one in the entire Konoha knows it better than me."

Jiraiya said in a deep voice.

"Then can you confirm which of the three holy places this celestial chakra is related to?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen asked.

Jiraiya scratched his head and said with a puzzled look, "This is the strange thing, this senjutsu chakra seems to have nothing to do with the three holy places.

I have some knowledge of the fairy chakra of the three holy places, but the chakra of the flame demon does not have any trace of the three holy places at all.

I plan to extract a strand of Flame Demon Chakra from Kai's body tomorrow and bring it to Myoboku Mountain to ask the Great Toad Sage for advice."

root base.

The deep and dark space was filled with silence. In a corridor on the ground floor, several researchers in white robes were pushing a cart filled with potions and reagents into a treatment room.

In the treatment room, Danzo was lying on the bed. All the bandages wrapped around his body had been removed, revealing most of his grayish-white body. Five researchers in white robes were surrounding him and providing treatment.

After a while, the treatment was over and Danzo was bandaged again.

"Master Danzo, we have temporarily sealed off the Flame Demon's Chakra with a sealing technique."

One researcher said.

"You didn't expel the Enma's chakra?"

Danzo frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.

"I'm very sorry, Master Danzo, we found that Enma's chakra is very powerful; according to the test, the data shown by Enma's chakra is even stronger than the Nine-Tails' chakra.

My subordinates couldn't find a way to expel it for a while, so they could only seal it temporarily."

"And our subordinates have also discovered that the primary cells in your body have shown a very strong rejection reaction to Flame Demon Chakra.

The highly phagocytic first-generation cells were unable to suppress the Flame Demon Chakra, causing a large number of cells in the adult's body to begin to necrotize.

So the subordinates once again injected the primary cells into the master's body to maintain the balance in the master's body and restore the activity of the necrotic areas of the body."

Hearing this, Danzo was suddenly shocked.

"Erma's chakra can actually fight against the first generation of cells?"

"Yes, Master Danzo. If we hadn't sealed the Enma Chakra in time, once the Enma Chakra and the First Generation cells had a violent rejection reaction, your body would have collapsed and turned into a pool of pus, Master Danzo."

"hateful."

"Flame Demon, I will definitely catch you!"

Upon hearing the diagnosis report from his researchers, Danzo was both angry and frightened.

Then he asked, "What plans do you have for my treatment?"

"Master Danzo, according to the information gathered by my subordinates, Might Guy and Uchiha Fumu were also hit by the same move as you.

However, Uchiha Yuan did not accept treatment from the medical department and left on his own; the medical department is currently treating Might Guy.

We will obtain the treatment plan from the medical department and work out a treatment plan for Danzo-sama after reference."

Danzo nodded and waved for the researchers to leave; then, a Root ninja walked in.

"Lord Danzo."

Aburame Torine bowed respectfully.

"Take the root and tell me the casualties of the root."

Danzo said.

Aburame Togen’s expression changed slightly, and then he said softly, “Danzo-sama, the Root suffered heavy casualties this time.

First of all, your personal guards, except for me, Shan Zhongfeng and the other two, all the others were killed.

According to current statistics, a total of 78 Root ninjas were killed by the Flame Demon, and another 31 were injured, accounting for two-thirds of the Root's casualties."

Hearing this, Danzo showed a look of heartache.

Every Root Ninja was selected after rigorous and brutal training; if a Root Ninja was placed in the Konoha Village, the minimum strength would be that of an elite Chunin.

"Ordinary members can be recruited from the training base. Also, in my name, send orders to the heads of the various ninja clans in the village to hand over some of their clansmen to join the Root."

"Yes, I understand."

Aburame Togen replied.

"Has the laboratory deepest in the base been damaged?"

Danzo asked in a deep voice.

The laboratory he was talking about was the one containing Senju Nawaki's internal organs.

"No, just like last time, according to our inspection, the Balrog seems to have only taken some experimental data from the laboratory."

Aburame Tone said.

Hearing this, Danzo's expression relaxed slightly.

That laboratory contained the most important experimental materials for his research on Hashirama's cells and it could not be lost.
