Konoha: I’m Naruto’s Brother — Gilgamesh Chapter 20 20: Bringing “Warmth” to Danzo

"According to Fugaku, Root's base is south of the Forest of Death, deep in a remote area."

"I don't even need to search… once I'm there, they'll co out to welco ."

Uzumaki Shuji moved through the shadows.

Using the Blink Dagger in bursts, combined with careful stealth, he advanced steadily.

Every street, every route in Konoha—

He knew them all.

And more importantly—

He could feel people.

Years of fine-tuned magic control had given him perception close to a sensory ninja.

That sa control was what allowed him to form Rasengan one-handed.

What he lacked—

Was real combat experience.

…

Soon, he reached the outskirts of the Forest of Death.

With Fugaku Uchiha's intel, he had already mapped patrol routes.

Konoha Police Force.

ANBU.

Even their overlapping surveillance zones.

Avoid the police routes—

You avoid ANBU.

Simple.

"Alright…"

"Let's begin."

He brushed his hair back.

Then—

Walked straight in.

Openly.

No hiding.

…

Less than two minutes.

They found him.

Two Root operatives appeared instantly.

Masked.

Cold.

One with a short blade.

One with shuriken.

"What are you?"

Their killing intent was obvious.

No hesitation.

"Where is Danzo?"

Uzumaki Shuji asked calmly.

That was enough.

They moved.

Shunshin.

Gone—

Then reappeared on both sides.

Perfect coordination.

Kill or capture.

Standard Root procedure.

…

"Buzz—"

Their pupils shrank.

Golden ripples appeared in front of them.

They couldn't dodge.

Two chains shot out—

Like arrows.

Piercing straight through their bodies.

"—!"

Blood burst from their mouths.

They reacted instantly—

Chakra into weapons.

Trying to cut the chains.

But—

Clang.

Their arms went numb.

Unbreakable.

"Don't want to talk?"

"Then I'll just fight my way in."

Uzumaki Shuji raised his hand slightly.

More golden portals opened.

Two more chains shot out—

And—

Boom.

Their heads exploded.

Like being hit by a sniper rifle.

…

Uzumaki Shuji froze for a fraction of a second.

Then steadied himself.

"Don't hesitate."

"They wouldn't."

First kill.

But not his last.

He forced himself to accept it.

Fast.

Cold.

Necessary.

…

"Control's working perfectly…"

He glanced at the system notification.

Mid-level strength.

Chunin.

Minimal energy consumption.

Efficient.

"Not bad."

Then—

He sensed it.

More presences approaching.

"They noticed."

…

Deep underground.

In the shadows.

Danzo Shimura sat on his elevated seat.

A throne.

Raised above everyone else.

He enjoyed looking down.

Always had.

If not Hokage—

Then at least this.

"Seems Hiruzen still refuses to hand over the boy."

"Forget that for now. Uchiha cos first."

"Has Itachi Uchiha sent any updates?"

"Not yet, Danzo-sama."

"…Then sothing's wrong."

Danzo's expression darkened.

"That man… the so-called Madara…"

"Or…"

"Itachi himself."

"Uchiha… can never be trusted."

His plan—

Ruined.

Months of preparation.

Gone.

Now all he could do—

Was suppress them politically.

And wait.

…

Then—

"BOOM!!!"

The entire base shook.

Dust fell from above.

Danzo's eyes snapped open.

"What was that?!"

A Root ninja appeared instantly.

Kneeling.

"Unknown attacker!"

"Breaking into the base!"

Danzo's face twisted.

"Who dares—?!"

Then—

A thought.

"…Madara?"

But no.

He rejected it imdiately.

"That's impossible."

"Then…"

"Uchiha."

"Those snakes…"

"Trying to play both sides."

His killing intent surged.

Soone—

Had co.

To challenge him.

Inside Konoha.

Inside Root.

And that—

Was unforgivable.
