A hint of craziness appeared in Fujin's eyes and a smile appeared on his face as he thought, 'Hehe, you made your move after all, Danzo. Good. Now, let me see whether you are skillful enough to ensure that the Root survives.'

While the Root ninjas were skillful enough to hide from chakra fields even when someone as skilled as Fujin used it, they had no idea about Fujin's other skill. Even Danzo was completely unaware. He never imagined that the spies he sent would be detected in an instant. If he knew Fujin had such an ability, he wouldn't have bothered sending anyone to spy on him. Even if Fujin didn't retaliate, the spies would only see what Fujin wanted to show them, which could make the Root fall into a trap.

Unfortunately for Danzo, Fujin no longer had intentions to keep playing games. He planned to use this opportunity to completely escalate the situation. On this day, two events would happen that would send shockwaves throughout Konoha that would be remembered for quite some time. One of them would also bring back some unpleasant memories.

Fujin fell back into his bed. Sleep had recovered most of his chakra, but he was still not at full capacity. It was understandable as he had maintained a lot of Shadow Clones. However, in this circumstance, that was a good thing. A Shadow Clone, with 20% of his maximum chakra, appeared next to his bed. Without a word, he disguised himself perfectly and disappeared from the room.

Neither of the 5 Root ninjas around Fujin's house detected the Shadow Clone leaving from under the ground. There were two main reasons for this. Firstly, the Root ninjas didn't dare to openly activate their chakra fields. Secondly, Fujin's methods of hiding chakra were extremely good and his clone left through a place where none of those 5 were present.

Minutes later, Fujin's clone reached the outskirts of the Root Headquarters. He thought, 'Yesterday, I showed up at the front door. However, with a base this huge, I have innumerable ways of entering. Even though this base is very well hidden and protected with seals, Root currently lacks the manpower to defend its main headquarters. Of course, it is also because they don't expect to be attacked in the first place. After all, Konoha will be the one to take the hit first before any attacker reaches the Root Headquarters.'

Danzo had only 26 Root ninjas left after Fujin's stunt 2 nights ago. Out of those, 5 were outside Fujin's house, while another 5 were outside the village training the kids from the Land of Water in a secret location. In addition, 2 were deployed in the Fire Capital, 1 always followed Naruto and 1 was hiding in the Anbu.

As a result, the massive Root headquarters had only 12 Root ninjas along with Danzo. Even among them, 5 of the Root ninjas were in the underground laboratories at the lowest two levels of Root Headquarters, meaning that only 7 were available to keep an eye on their base.

Hence, they couldn't pay attention to every entry into the Root Headquarters. Of course, Danzo had long sealed up such entry points. Fujin's clone was standing in front of one such sealed entry point.

The clone's eyes glowed as he began studying the seals. He nodded as he realized, 'Not bad. Even I will need some time to decode these seals and enter inside without being detected. Not to mention, there are some seals I don't recognize. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to study them slowly. Oh well, even if I did, they would detect me in no time. So, no need to bother with stealth.'

The Blade of the Thunder Spirit appeared in his right hand, but the hilt was covered by his long sleeves. The shape of the blade looked nothing like a sword and instead looked like a ball of Lightning. In an instant, nearly 35% of the clone's chakra was transformed into Lightning and transferred into the Lightning ball.

'Wind Release: Serial Vacuum Waves jutsu'

Immediately, Fu and the other Root ninja moved behind Danzo. At the very instance when Danzo was done weaving the hand seals, the Lightning broke through his office walls and moved towards him when he exhaled his jutsu. Several Vacuum Waves hit the incoming Lightning flood continuously and kept bombarding the incoming attack for a few seconds.

The Lightning headed towards Danzo was finally stopped. Only some Lightning charges made it through the intense wind and hit the three of them. They weren't strong enough to cause them any damage.

Danzo and the two Root ninjas with him were safe. However, their moods were anything but calm. Even Danzo was extremely tense. He thought, 'Fortunately the Lightning wasn't all concentrated on me. Otherwise, I would have no chance of stopping it without using Wood Release or sacrificing Shisui's eye by using Izanagi. I didn't even have time to remove the seals on my right arm! Which crazy bastard attacked my base? And who is strong enough to unleash such an attack? Even Hiruzen shouldn't be able to do something like this!'

Though Danzo stopped the Lightning flood from hitting him, it still continued spreading in other directions. Within seconds, 3 underground floors were completely in shambles! Thankfully, while the seals weren't strong enough to stop the Lightning flood, it slowly whittled down the power of the Lightning flood, putting an end to the destruction...

Unfortunately, the destruction caused by the Lightning until that moment was too high! The top 3 floors collapsed entirely, forcing Danzo and the two Root ninjas to evacuate in a hurry. If it wasn't for the fact that Fujin's clone didn't target the pillars, the entire base might have collapsed! Thankfully for Danzo, the laboratories on the bottom two floors weren't damaged.

However, the loss was still extremely high! Danzo was extremely angry. Unfortunately, he was unaware that this was just the first step of Fujin's plan. Not a single person in Konoha would even consider the possibility of such a massive attack being merely a distraction! Fujin's next steps would threaten Root's existence in a way Danzo would never have imagined. The only question was whether Fujin would succeed in his goal or whether Danzo would succeed in defending his Root!
