While the candidates in the Forest of Death were showing off their abilities, Shuimu had other things to deal with.

Although the barrier was set up by Mizuki, it was not entirely operated by him. Even Tsunade could not allow the barrier of the Death Forest to become her own private property.

Although there is basically nothing in the entire Death Forest that can be hidden from him, he cannot treat others as incompetent. If someone can really change the barrier to mislead Shuimu's judgment, it may cause considerable trouble. Shuimu almost suffered a great loss in the last trap. This time, he must not only be vigilant against Danzo, but also prevent him from attacking the candidates in the Death Forest.

Of course, this is the ideal situation that Tsunade expects. In fact, according to Mizuki's judgment, it is enough to protect the safety of Seven-Tails Jinchuriki Fu and Uchiha Sasuke. It is basically impossible for other people to become Danzo's target.

At least so far, no accidents have occurred. After setting up a simple protective barrier around a group of unconscious rock ninjas, Mizuki made a few simple marks to guide the rescuers. Then he quickly moved to the next target location.

At this moment, Shuimu was suddenly stunned, and with a chakra fluctuation, a clone of Shuimu appeared beside him.

"What happened? Why did you come straight here?"

"Danzo is out?"

"Out? At this time?" Shuimu was shocked. "How did you find out?"

"The news has spread. This is a high-profile diplomatic contact. Danzo personally went to the Fire Country Daimyo's mansion to invite the Daimyo to come and watch the third round of the Chunin Exam."

Then, the clone said meaningfully.

"The connection between Danzo and the Daimyo is much closer than Tsunade's. The support from within the village is not enough, and if he wants to become Hokage, he needs external forces. The Daimyo, who has never been able to get involved in the inheritance of the Hokage position, must value Danzo very much!"

"Why at this time!" Mizuki thought for a moment and then asked, "Does Danzo have many guards?"

"Standard combat team configuration of five people."

"So many? It's hard to deal with them!"

Including Danzo, there are six people in total. Under such circumstances, there are really few masters in the ninja world who can kill Danzo.

"What should we do? Should we take action?"

Mizuki also understood that opportunities are rare and will never come back. Danzo did not have many opportunities to leave Konoha Village, and no one knew when the next chance would be.

"Let's not talk about the timing of the attack, can you do it without revealing your identity?"

If he wants to compete with Shimura Danzo, he must go all out. Mizuki is not so arrogant that he can defeat Danzo and five masters without using Sage Mode.

There are only a few immortals with names and surnames in this world. Once they are discovered, Shuimu will be the first suspect.

"So what if he's suspicious? Aren't we taking action against Danzo to teach him a lesson? If we can kill him, there will be no evidence. If not, it doesn't matter if he knows. We have the evidence of our alibi anyway."

"Is this nonsense? Who would believe it?"

"You think too much. You don't need anyone to believe you. As long as Tsunade doesn't punish us, all we have to do is to deny it."

Mizuki thought for a moment and said, "Yes, we can do it this time. Even if they know it's me, there's not much danger. Being targeted for no reason, there's nothing wrong with fighting back. Maybe Danzo will mistake it for an assassination ordered by Tsunade!"

"Very good, since you have made up your mind, then I will cover up for you here, and the clones in the village will also show up to make their presence felt. You can bring five clones to attack, six against six is ​​fair!"

…

Generally speaking, the second round of the Chunin Exam will last about three to five days. Although the deadline is five days, if the progress is fast, two or three days will be enough. This time there are too many people, and it is estimated that they will have to wait until the five days are up. The fastest group is actually the inconspicuous Takinin trio. When the three Genin of Team 10 were carried out of the Death Forest early, Asuma and Shikamaru who were waiting outside couldn't help but sigh. This Chunin Exam is too difficult. Due to Shikamaru's withdrawal and the addition of the novice female ninja Shiho, Team 10's overall strength has not improved but declined. It is not surprising that they were eliminated.

While the Chunin Exam was still in full swing, the well-prepared Mizuki had already set up a trap on the path that Danzo Shimura had to take.

After waiting for most of the day, a group of people came slowly towards the end of the road. They were Danzo and his subordinates.

"He's finally here." Shuimu said a little excitedly, "It can be confirmed that it's not a substitute, but him himself."

"He has stayed in Konoha for a long time and rarely goes out. In addition, he is confident in his own strength. He may not have thought that someone would attack him at this time. The only ones who can make him afraid are the Kage of the five major countries and Uchiha Madara!"

"Get ready. This time, we're going to play a big one."

Under six pairs of vigilant eyes, Danzo Shimura slowly walked into the trap.

Suddenly, the chakra fluctuations around surged, and the scenery began to change. The illusion barrier quickly covered the space of hundreds of meters in radius. In order to prepare this barrier, Shuimu spent a lot of time.

The sudden change did not make the battle-hardened Shimura Danzo panic. He held the cane tightly in his hand calmly, and five masked "Root" ninjas quickly guarded him in the center.

"Who?"

What answered them was a dense barrage of fireballs.

"Fire Style - Phoenix Fire Technique!"

The power was not too great, but when the original body and the clones, a total of six people, used it at the same time, the momentum created was completely incomparable to that of an ordinary C-level fire ninjutsu.

Although all escape spaces were blocked, Mizuki did not expect to defeat Danzo so easily.

"Water Escape—Water Formation Wall!"

At the critical moment, Shimura Danzo's subordinates used water-style ninjutsu in a split second to surround the six people including Danzo tightly. In the face of the restrained water-style ninjutsu, the powerful fire-style ninjutsu did not play much of a role.

"Who are you, you coward? Since you dare to attack me, can't you just fight me in an upright manner?"

"The Darkness of the Ninja World, you want to talk to me openly?" Mizuki sneered, then quickly formed a seal again.

"Fire Style - Great Fire Extinguishment!"

A huge ball of fire came towards us like a wall.

"Scatter!" Ordinary ninjas simply cannot resist such a powerful ninjutsu. Although water escape has an advantage over fire escape, there is a limit. If the gap is too big, it doesn't matter whether you can restrain or not.
