Linto thought there would be darkness in Konoha.
But letting murderers go free and bullying survivors.
Is there still law?
Is there still justice?
Linto wants to ask:
Does this Konoha village belong to fire, or to Danzo?
"I can't stay any longer."
"If I keep staying in Konoha, even if I don't die this time, I'll be killed sooner or later."
"Anyway, I have the JOJO system, the world is big, where can't I find a place to live?"
If worse comes to worst, Linto can just use Star Platinum to farm and hunt. He'll have food and drink for life. Why suffer this nonsense in Konoha?!
Linto made a decision.
The top priority is to leave here.
He was imprisoned in the Root organization's underground base.
The base is like real tree roots, with winding corridors, a tangled mess, and many traps.
Even if you escape the interrogation room, it's not easy to leave.
However, Linto has his own way.
"Hermit Purple"
Purple vines spread outward, guiding him and showing him the way.
Linto was running in the corridor when he stopped by a room.
Sasuke is inside.
Escaping with a child would be very troublesome…
Linto hesitated for half a second, then switched to Star Platinum and forcibly pulled out the heavy metal door.
Saving him once is saving him, saving him twice is still saving him.
"Brother Shou!"
Sasuke's eyes were red and swollen, with a thick nasal voice.
Linto said, "Danzo wants to kill us. Are you leaving or not?"
"Leaving!"
Little Sasuke, and Linto, who knows nothing about the story, have no idea that Sasuke is definitely the safest spectator in tonight's disaster.
They are just making the most correct judgment based on the information they have.
Buzz—buzz—
A sharp alarm sounded overhead.
Linto picked up Sasuke and controlled Star Platinum to rush forward.
In such a narrow space, and with Danzo giving a strict order not to harm Sasuke - after all, Uchiha Itachi's threat is there, and Danzo knows which is more important, his subordinates' lives or his own - the ninjas dare not throw kunai randomly, and dare not use ninjutsu casually. They can only rely on taijutsu to fight head-on.
But if Konoha's Blue Beast doesn't come, who can beat Star Platinum in taijutsu?
For a time, Linto was unstoppable, as if in an uninhabited place. The so-called ambushes and assaults were useless against Star Platinum's precision and speed.
Within two meters of Linto, there was an absolute vacuum.
He killed his way from the underground to the ground, smashing dozens of heavy lock doors.
The Root ninjas who were trying to kill them were initially confident, thinking that it was just a waste and a child, and that so many people didn't need to be sent out.
But the moment they fought, their confidence turned to anger and disbelief.
Now, watching Linto, who was stepping out of the underground base and bathing in the moonlight, an undisguised fear appeared on the faces of the battle-hardened ninjas.
Less than ten years had passed since the end of the Third Ninja World War.
Many of them were old soldiers... old ninjas who had been on the battlefield.
Linto's back reminded them of the heroes who could fight a hundred enemies on the battlefield in the past.
Even though they were tied up by Danzo's orders...
The Root ninjas looked back.
Blood was everywhere, and elite ninjas were lying in pools of blood, their lives uncertain.
This combat power is too terrifying!
Seeing that Linto was about to leave, a Root member subconsciously took a step, meeting Linto's gaze as he turned his head.
"Get out!"
The group of ninjas was so frightened by the shout that they stood there in a daze, not daring to chase after him.
Star Platinum punched the entrance of the base.
The door frame collapsed, and large pieces of brick and stone shattered, completely burying the underground entrance.
…
Boom!
Danzo slammed his fist on the table, his expression gloomy and demonic, his sharp and vicious eyes seeming to pierce the screen, wanting to cut a piece of flesh from Linto's body.
"Danzo, you've gone too far."
Lord Third's old voice appeared behind Danzo.
Danzo turned off the monitor screen.
The screen was black, reflecting the person behind him.
Third Hokage · Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"What's too far?" Danzo asked.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice rose slightly, and his tone gradually filled with anger.
"Do I need to remind you?"
"Yes. Of course, you need to."
Danzo turned around and faced Sarutobi Hiruzen, his eyes open and honest, without any evasion.
"Is it that I ordered Uchiha Itachi to kill the entire Uchiha clan?
Or the riot I caused by wanting to kill Uchiha Shou?
Or that I ordered people to collect the bodies of the Uchiha clan?"
Danzo stood up, put his hands behind his back, and stood in front of Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"You're not stupid - if you were, I would have killed you long ago to take your place - you know everything, so I want to ask 'What exactly is too far?', so that I can give you an accurate answer."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was silent.
After a full thirty seconds of silence, he flicked his sleeves and left.
…
Tonight is destined to be a busy night.
Swords and shadows, Konoha ninjas, known or unknown, killed their way out of the corners, waving the kunai in their hands at Linto, and from time to time, illusion-type ninjas would pull Linto into illusions.
Fortunately, Linto found that pain could help him get rid of the illusions, and gave Star Platinum the order to "gently" tap him every five seconds.
Linto, covered in blood, holding little Sasuke, had the invincible posture of Zhao Zilong, who went in and out seven times in Changshan.
But if people who were familiar with the layout of Konoha carefully identified the ninjas wailing on the ground, they would find that the more famous ninjas were not among them.
Moreover, they couldn't see the Hyuga family's Byakugan, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, the Aburame insects, and other old families.
Linto has never been an arrogant person.
Uchiha Itachi is just a kid, he can't be the strongest ninja in the village.
Why aren't there any other strong people coming to stop him?
Linto thought about it all the way and came to an answer:
This matter isn't clean.
The real strong people and old families aren't stupid.
The Uchiha clan was wiped out overnight. This kind of mess is like yellow mud falling into your crotch. Whoever gets involved will be disgusted.
The families all found reasons to stay behind closed doors.
The people who came to intercept him were basically powerless grunts. When the leader gave an order in the middle of the night, they had to crawl out of their wives' beds to reply "Received" at the first moment.
Naturally, they're not strong.
"Hold on, we'll be out soon."
Linto gently patted Sasuke's little head.
Sasuke looked in the direction of his home.
A place without family can no longer be called a home. It's just an empty box filled with sad memories.
"Where are we going?" Sasuke asked.
"I don't know."
Linto doesn't know more about this world than Sasuke, "But there will always be a place where we can live like humans."
"What if there isn't?"
Linto was silent for a moment, then said, "There will be."
Sasuke nodded hard.
He heard the sound of wind from behind him and caught a glimpse of a cold light flying towards Linto.
"Careful!"
Sasuke spoke to remind him.
Before he finished speaking, a kunai was pinned in the air.
Star Platinum accurately grabbed the flying kunai, turned around, took a step, his body arched, and his thick and powerful arm was swung like a whip, throwing the kunai in his hand back.
Bang!
A thunderous sonic boom rang out in the air, and the kunai flew past someone's ear.
"Oh, that's really dangerous. Is this the 'invisible guardian' that's recorded? An unheard-of ability."
A lazy and frivolous voice came from the shadows.
A man landed lightly, standing in front of Linto, his stance casual, holding a book in his hand, wearing a mask, his headband covering one eye.
"Hey, little friends, no passing this way."
Linto stopped.
White hair, a lazy aura, covering his eyes…
Linto remembered him. He was a very famous character. A name he had heard of for a long time came out of his mouth:
"Gojo Satoru?"
