My Sign-in System in Naruto

Boom!

Haru punched through Danzō's Tree Binding Burial and climbed out, then glanced back at the towering tree.

The tree's diameter was at least five or six meters, and the density it had created while growing wildly was equally staggering.

'If I hadn't used chakra to defend myself, I probably would have been crushed to death by this technique.'

Haru examined the scene.

In that situation, Danzō hadn't had the chance to use a summoning technique. Otherwise, with his summon, Baku, he wouldn't have been so helpless.

What surprised Haru, though, was that he had expected Danzō to beg for mercy or continue trying to escape when faced with such overwhelming killing intent.

Instead, in a critical moment, Danzō had unleashed a suicidal attack like Tree Binding Burial.

'He'd rather die than let me live, huh?'

Haru couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he stored Shisui's eye away. At the same time, he could no longer sense Danzō's chakra.

It seemed Danzō was dead.

Just as Haru was about to activate the Byakugan to confirm, another formidable chakra descended from the sky.

Haru instinctively turned to see who it was and found none other than the Hokage of Konoha.

Hiruzen Sarutobi, along with his direct Anbu operatives.

Familiar faces like Kakashi and Yamato were also in the group.

Of course, while on missions, they both wore Anbu masks, but Haru recognized them by their hairstyles.

After landing, Hiruzen didn't speak immediately. Instead, he surveyed the surroundings and was instantly stunned by what he saw.

When he had sensed the massive surge of chakra earlier, Hiruzen had felt a sense of foreboding and immediately gathered his Anbu to rush here. [seems like a deja vu...]

The Senju compound was in ruins, with the intricate Advent of a World of Trees spread across the area.

It was clearly Haru's doing.

Not only that, but several Root operatives were still trapped within the forest.

Hiruzen had already warned Danzō after the last assassination attempt on Haru. He hadn't expected Danzō to try the same thing again.

What Hiruzen couldn't understand was…

Haru had perfectly inherited Hashirama Senju's Wood Release. With proper guidance and training, he could undoubtedly inherit the Will of Fire and become an outstanding elite jonin.

Why did Danzō harbor such hostility toward Haru?

In fact, it wasn't just Hiruzen. Even Kakashi, Yamato, and the other Anbu operatives were deeply shocked by what they saw.

Unlike Danzō's Root, the Anbu, while also a special assassination unit that hid their emotions behind masks, only concealed their feelings.

'Such a terrifying technique… Did that boy do this?'

'He's like a monster…'

"Haru." Kakashi's gaze sharpened as he stared at the young man. He had already witnessed Haru's Advent of a World of Trees and Wood Human Technique before.

But today's attack, while smaller in scale, was far more aggressive.

In other words, if yesterday's Haru had been showcasing his power, today's Haru had used that power to achieve an outstanding victory in actual combat.

No wonder Haru had advocated for confronting the Cloud Village.

He wasn't ignorant of the horrors of war. He was simply brimming with confidence.

'With me alone, I surpass an entire army.'

'If he continues to grow, just how powerful will he become…'

Kakashi swallowed hard, feeling both relieved that Haru was on Konoha's side and a subtle unease.

That immense power, that invincible presence it would surely protect the people he cared about.

"Wood Release…"

Yamato, equally shocked by Haru's strength, stood frozen, his eyes wide.

Before witnessing this, Danzō had always told him that he was the only one who had inherited Hashirama's power, the perfect Root to protect the village.

But Haru's displayed strength far surpassed his own.

Another…

Wood Release user.

And as someone who could also use Wood Release, Yamato knew exactly how terrifying Haru's abilities were.

After all, Wood Release wasn't like ordinary ninjutsu. It was a Kekkei Genkai formed by combining Water and Earth Release.

This required not only extremely precise chakra control but also an absurd amount of chakra.

Especially since Haru still looked completely at ease after using such a technique, showing no signs of exhaustion.

Even by conservative estimates, Haru's chakra reserves were probably a hundred times greater than Kakashi's.

Thinking this, Yamato couldn't help but sneak a glance at Kakashi.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Kakashi noticed Yamato's subtle movement and couldn't help but ask.

"Ah, nothing."

Yamato shook his head, feeling more and more that Haru was unfathomable.

But…

Yamato looked around. Aside from the shocking Advent of a World of Trees, there were also several Root operatives gathered here.

Judging from the scene, the enemies Haru had fought were likely them.

And Root obeyed Danzō's orders.

The will of Root was Danzō's will.

"Lord Danzō…"

Yamato frowned. Back when he had still been under Danzō's command, Danzō had ordered him to assassinate the Third Hokage and Kakashi, to steal his Sharingan.

Now, he had targeted Haru.

Why did Danzō always attack Konoha's ninjas?

Why did he always turn on his comrades?

"Lord Hokage." Haru took a deep breath and approached Hiruzen.

"It was Danzō."

"Early this morning, I woke up, ready to admire my stunningly handsome face in the mirror before heading to the ninja academy."

"But then he barged in with his men and attacked me without any explanation."

Haru glanced at the Root operatives not far away.

He could sense their desire to avenge Danzō, but they didn't dare approach recklessly.

"And these guys, they started throwing shuriken at me, covering the sky, dense and endless. You have to understand, I haven't even graduated from the ninja academy yet. I've never seen anything like this…"

"I was so scared that my chakra just exploded…"

Hiruzen was dumbfounded. If Haru hadn't mentioned Danzō, he wouldn't have even thought that Danzō would personally intervene.

Danzō?

Danzō was here?

A sense of foreboding washed over Hiruzen. He sharply raised his head and released his sensory abilities.

But aside from the Root operatives, Hiruzen couldn't sense any other chakra.

Danzō was here, but his chakra was gone…

Haru…

Killed Danzō?!
