Chapter 56: Capture

Impossible!!

Danzo swore that not long ago, his subordinates had bound Wang Bo and brought him back. After opening the bag, they stood behind him—at that time, they were still alive.

Yet he had only exchanged a few words with Wang Bo, and his three subordinates were dead.

This was too unbelievable.

Who, who killed them? As an excellent ninja, a Kage-level expert, he hadn't sensed a thing. How could this be? It was impossible!

Danzo's heart sank. He scanned his surroundings, trying to find the killer hidden in the shadows.

"No need to look," Wang Bo said, waving his hand. "There's no one else here but you and me. The one who killed them is none other than me."

Wang Bo looked at Danzo with a half-smile and uttered a statement that horrified him.

Danzo abruptly turned his head, staring fixedly at Wang Bo, his face full of disbelief.

"Surprised?" Wang Bo laughed heartily. His form flickered, and like a ghost, he closed in on Danzo. The distance between them was now extremely close.

A chill ran through Danzo's heart. He instinctively retreated, leaping back dozens of meters in an instant.

But the next second, Danzo's pupils involuntarily contracted sharply.

Because he saw that Wang Bo now held something in his hand.

An arm, an arm bound with white bandages—it was his arm.

Danzo looked in shock at his right hand. His right arm had been severed at the shoulder and was no longer attached to his body. Yet from start to finish, Danzo had no idea how he had lost his arm.

Of course, once he realized it, a piercing pain flooded his nerves like a tidal wave, causing him to groan and break out in a cold sweat. But Danzo's reaction was not slow. He first used chakra to seal the wound and prevent excessive bleeding, then turned and fled.

From the brief exchange, Danzo had understood one thing.

He was no match for that man. That merchant was impossibly strong—able to kill his three subordinates right under his nose and tear off one of his arms. No matter how he looked at it, he was a formidable enemy.

Moreover, he had now lost one arm, and his strength had dropped significantly.

So at this moment, fleeing was the correct choice.

But while escaping, to prevent Wang Bo from pursuing, Danzo endured the pain and performed a jutsu.

Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!

As he turned back, he spat out a series of vacuum waves that spread behind him, forming a killing array to block Wang Bo's pursuit.

Wang Bo was not surprised. Although Danzo had lost his right hand, even Uchiha Itachi could perform one-handed seals. Danzo, as the 'Kage-level' strongman and the 'Shadows of Konoha,' could certainly do it too.

But he still underestimated Wang Bo.

Shunpo!

Wang Bo took a step and vanished from his spot in an instant. He arced around and caught up to the fleeing Danzo in a flash, circling to the front of his opponent.

The next second, Danzo felt his vision blur, and Wang Bo appeared before him.

He was instantly terrified.

Wang Bo smiled at him and threw a punch.

Supersonic Obliteration Fist!

Bang!

In an instant, the air exploded from Wang Bo's punch. The狂暴气流, like sharp and unmatched blades, seemed to shred everything ahead—trees, earth, all destroyed by the violent currents.

Danzo's face turned green with fear as he hastily dodged.

His Body Flicker Technique was good, but unfortunately, Wang Bo's Shunpo was even better.

Both vanished and reappeared simultaneously, only a few steps apart.

Danzo was horrified to find that his remaining arm was also in the other's hand, and his left shoulder was now empty—nothing there.

In just a few moments of combat, both his arms had been severed by the opponent.

For a time, Danzo was ruled by inner terror.

But he was, after all, a seasoned ninja. He quickly suppressed his fear, stared straight at Wang Bo, and said harshly, "Since you know who I am, do you still intend to kill me? I am a Konoha elder. If you kill me, Konoha will not let this go. Do you want to start a war with Konoha?"

Now, he could only wave the banner of Konoha.

Wang Bo casually tossed away Danzo's arm and said calmly, "That should be my question to you. We were cooperating well, and then you suddenly attacked me, trying to take all my property. Is this how Konoha treats its guests?"

Danzo's face grew even colder, as if he wanted to say something more, but Wang Bo couldn't be bothered to waste words.

Wang Bo took a step and appeared before Danzo in an instant.

Shunpo.

Danzo hastily retreated, but unfortunately, his movements were too slow. Having lost both arms, he couldn't even maintain his balance. Wang Bo threw a punch, driving straight in.

Bang!

Wang Bo's fist struck Danzo's face, knocking him to the ground. Then he placed a foot on Danzo's face. "I won't kill you, but Konoha must give me an explanation."

The enraged Danzo struggled, but Wang Bo's foot was like steel, firmly pressing him down. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't escape from under Wang Bo's sole.

Then, Wang Bo exerted force with a shake. A tremendous power burst forth from his foot, accompanied by a series of crisp cracking sounds. Danzo's bones were shattered by Wang Bo, and he collapsed to the ground like a pile of mud.

He didn't even let out a scream before falling unconscious.

Wang Bo didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up Danzo and returned to his base.

When Wang Bo returned, the base was in chaos.

After all, Wang Bo had been gone for a day. When the kids in the base discovered Wang Bo was missing, they found clues that an outsider had entered Wang Bo's room.

Many kids realized Wang Bo had been kidnapped. For a time, countless people were anxious and worried.

Wang Bo had gathered them, fed them, clothed them, and trained them, giving them the ability to protect themselves. In the eyes of many kids, Wang Bo was their parent, their god.

Now that Wang Bo was missing, the base erupted.

The furious Sato Ken even grabbed the kid who had been on patrol last night and gave him a severe beating.

Then, he mobilized all the kids to search for Wang Bo's trail.

But as time passed, they still found no trace of Wang Bo. Many kids were on the verge of tears from this incident, and Sato Ken even felt like killing someone.

Now seeing Wang Bo return, Sato Ken finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lord, it's really good that you're safe."

In fact, not only Sato Ken but also Haku and the other kids all breathed a sigh of relief.
