A few minutes ago, Danzo was waiting for the results of the Konoha Collapse plan inside the ROOT base. At this time, a ROOT ninja came running with urgency and knelt in front of Danzo, saying, "Danzo-Sama, I bring urgent news."

Hearing the urgency in the ROOT ninja's tone, Danzo asked, "What made you so flustered?"

"Danzo-Sama, Jiryoku is planning to attack you," said the ROOT ninja.

"What!?" Danzo was surprised by this sudden revelation and asked in a commanding tone, "Explain properly."

"After the battle with Orochimaru, the Third Hokage died, and at that time, when everyone was mourning, suddenly..." the ROOT ninja explained everything he heard and saw at the Chunin Exam venue.

Danzo's face became solemn after hearing this, and he looked at the dark corner of the ROOT base and said, "Come!"

Two ninjas came and knelt in front of Danzo. They were Fū Yamanaka and Torune Aburame.

"Torune, send your bugs to investigate what is happening and see if Jiryoku is captured by Jiraiya or not," ordered Danzo.

Upon hearing Danzo's order, Torune said, "Yes, Danzo-Sama," and left immediately.

After leaving the ROOT base, Torune sent his bugs towards the Hyuga clan compound to search for the news.

As the tremor was contained by Jiryoku, it wasn't felt across Konoha.

After a few minutes, the bugs sent by Torune Aburame returned with the news, and he immediately went back in front of Danzo. He knelt down and reported everything seen by his bugs, including the part where Jiryoku split the Tailed Beast bomb in half. Even Torune found it unbelievable while explaining.

Danzo was quiet for a few seconds and said, "It seems that his strength has increased exponentially even further."

"Although it is impossible for him to come here, considering there is Jiraiya, Kakashi, and Might Guy. But for caution, it is best that we move to the ROOT base two miles away from Konoha. Assemble, we will be leaving right now," said Danzo.

The whole ROOT organization started moving like a machine, and within minutes, they began leaving Konoha. At the same time, Jiryoku 'saw' them leaving Konoha, so he sped things up on his side.

----

At present, Danzo was moving at an incredible speed, and behind him followed the members of ROOT ninjas. He had already left Konoha and was about 100 meters away from it.

One of the ROOT ninjas in the rear felt something and turned with his sword in hand. He attempted to use the Assassination Technique, which is a basic technique learned by every ROOT ninja, towards his back, but his body, along with his sword, was cut in half before he could even react.

"Enemy attack!" shouted the ninja in the rear, but as soon as he spoke, he was also killed in an instant like the ninja who was beside him.

Hearing the shout of the ROOT ninja, Danzo also stopped and looked at the rear. Slowly, the figure of Jiryoku, covered in Storm Chakra mode, became clearly visible.

Seeing Jiryoku present here, Danzo was surprised, "Why are you here? Weren't you stopped by Jiraiya and others?"

Jiryoku pointed towards the sky, and Danzo looked at the sky above Konoha. He saw a huge meteor falling with incredible speed towards the Hokage Rock, and according to his calculations, the meteor was almost 1500m in diameter.

"Did you think I would let you slide so easily after what you did to my father?" said Jiryoku to Danzo.

"Are you going to rebel, Jiryoku?" said Danzo.

"You worry about yourself. Becoming a rebel is not something I have to worry about," said Jiryoku.

Danzo knew that it was impossible to avoid this battle, so he looked towards the ROOT ninjas and said, "Fu, Torune, along with the other ninjas of ROOT, assist me."

As soon as Danzo's voice fell, Fu and Torune took the lead and attacked Jiryoku.

"He is very good at close combat. The rest of you, wait for me to take over his mind, and as soon as I successfully do so, attack with a barrage of ninjutsus," said Fu to the other ROOT ninjas.

The ROOT ninjas acknowledged Fu's orders, and upon seeing this, Fu came near Jiryoku and used the "Mind Body Switch Technique."

As soon as Fu used the Mind Body Switch Technique, he fell to the ground. But as his spirit came near Jiryoku, Jiryoku used his conqueror's Haki and shouted, "How dare you?"

Fu's spirit was hit hard, and it returned back to his body, causing him to cough up blood.

However, no one cared for him, and seeing this as a chance, the other ROOT ninjas attacked Jiryoku with different kinds of ninjutsu from their arsenal.

Jiryoku didn't fluster for a bit and raised his hand, using "Gravity Push."

Not only were the ninjutsus made useless, but even the ninjas from ROOT were pushed back for quite a long distance.

Finally, Danzo was able to remove the Sealing Arm Braces from his hand.

"It seems that you have been able to remove the seal from the Sharingan, and it seems that you only have five Sharingans with you. At least with my actions on the Uchiha massacre night, I was able to reduce the number of times I have to kill you," said Jiryoku.

Hearing this, Danzo was stunned, and anger was clearly visible on his face. He said, "So my guess was correct. You were the one who killed so many of my ROOT ninjas and took all the Sharingan with you on the day of the Uchiha massacre."

"Yes!" replied Jiryoku. Suddenly, there was a BOOM, and Danzo looked in the direction of Konoha, where a big ball of Rasengan was colliding with the meteor. It was obviously Jiraiya who was using it.

"It seems that I have to be quick, or else it will become difficult to kill you," said Jiryoku, raising his hand and using "Gravity Pull."

Danzo tried resisting by using his chakra, but he was sucked in the direction of Jiryoku without any resistance.

However, Danzo was also someone who had fought many battles, so he countered by attacking Jiryoku and used "Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere," attacking in Jiryoku's direction. Jiryoku, not wanting to be affected by this, used "Gravity Push" in response.
