Chapter 86: Ruthless Measures

Beginne am Anfang
                                    

This old man... actually brought so many people?!

Seeing dozens of Root organization ninjas suddenly appear around them, Yu was instantly alarmed.

For himself, it didn't matter; even if he were surrounded, he could use the SkyPath technique to escape. However, Yakushi Nono and the children in the orphanage...

"It seems you've understood the current situation..."

"That's right. If you refuse, these ninjas will kill all the children in the house."

Watching Yu's changing expression, Danzo spoke in a deep voice, the threat evident.

"Damn old man... dare to harm even a hair on them, and you'll see."

Confronted with Danzo's threat, Yu clenched his fists, his gaze icy as if it could freeze the air. Never before had he felt such an urgent desire to kill someone.

Danzo's despicable actions had completely ignited the rage within him.

"That's enough!"

"Stop here. I agree to your terms."

However, at this moment, Yakushi Nono, who had been silent beside them, suddenly spoke up.

"Headmaster?!"

Seeing Yakushi Nono actually agreeing to Danzo's terms left Yu stunned.

"No need to say more, Yu."

"Regardless, I won't let any harm come to those children."
Looking at the orphanage wooden house not far away, Yakushi Nono's face showed a determined expression.

"It's just inconvenient for you and Kabuto..."

However, looking at Yu in front of her and Kabuto, who had just walked out of the wooden house at this moment, a hint of remorse appeared on Yakushi Nono's face.

What's going on?!

Why did it come to this again?!

Upon hearing Yakushi Nono's decision and seeing that the thing he feared most was still inevitably happening, Yu couldn't help but clench his fists.

How familiar this scene is.

In the original work, Yakushi Nono was forced to go to Iwagakure village for a spy mission, and Yakushi Kabuto was brought into Root to become an active ninja in Konoha.

Finally, Danzo used schemes to plan for Kabuto and Nono to harm each other, leading Kabuto, who lost the meaning of life once again, to be noticed by Orochimaru and invited to join the Village of Sound.

Why?

Why did things turn out like this again!

Facing Yakushi Nono's decision and the unchangeable reality in front of him, Yu's fingernails dug deep into his flesh, and an inexplicable anger surged in his heart. He was angry at himself for not being strong enough.

If one's strength had already reached the level of Hashirama Senju or the Sage of the Six Paths, what would it matter if Danzo threatened the children from the orphanage? With just a thought, the Wood Release that could alter the landscape and the Sage Art that could annihilate everything could instantly evaporate Danzo and all these ninjas together!

So, ultimately, weakness is the original sin. All conclusions arise from not being powerful enough, preventing the proper protection of those he values. Even at the same age, no one can do better than himself. However, in the broader context of the entire ninja world, he still doesn't qualify as a true powerhouse.

"Hmph, Nono... as expected, you understand the situation."

Ignoring Yu in front of him, who seemed to have lost his soul, Danzo gave a low chuckle. The Root organization ninjas surrounding them then brought Kabuto out of the house.

"After all... this child named Kabuto might not mind becoming a Konoha ninja, am I right?"
Looking at Kabuto being brought before him, Danzo scrutinized the young boy with a meaningful gaze.

Meanwhile, the youthful Kabuto lifted his head timidly, staring silently at Danzo beneath his glasses.

"Hey! Kabuto!!"

"You, are you going to abandon the bonds we've formed over these three years? Come back to us!!"

At that moment, a familiar voice rang out. Urushi had appeared at the entrance of the orphanage's wooden house, seemingly having arrived unnoticed.

Besides him, other children from the orphanage gradually emerged. They had been awakened by the commotion outside and coincidentally witnessed Kabuto being taken away by Danzo and his group.
