Chapter 126 - Chapter 126: Konoha's Darkness

Too weak!

This guy!

Miki stared at Danzo rolling on the ground. A moment later, Danzo stopped rolling, and his cries ceased.

His Chakra was sucked dry.

But Tsunade could handle this level of attack when she was six.

Did I really overestimate him?

Could it be that years of peace, and sitting in an office at Root, led to a decline in his skills?

Or is this guy faking it?

Miki stared intently at Danzo.

It's him, no mistake!

But to take him down like this was truly beyond Miki's expectations. So, is this guy really that weak?

No way!?

This guy isn't someone to be underestimated.

But then again, thinking about his later move of stabbing a Susanoo with a Kunai...

In the Shinobi world, weakness is the original sin.

"How ridiculous!" Miki said coldly, looking at the two people from the orphanage.

Granny looked at Miki with gratitude, as if she had many things to say but didn't know where to start.

The little girl, on the other hand, looked at Miki with curiosity. The Insect Demon Woman, whispered about by children, she recognized immediately, even though she had never seen her before.

That mask, which looked as terrifying as the rumors said.

"It's alright now," Miki said first. "Just live as you always have. This guy won't bother you again."

"Mm," Yakushi Nono nodded obediently.

As Granny was about to open her mouth to thank her, Miki moved, interrupting the thanks.

Under their wide-eyed gaze, Miki stepped forward, grabbed one of Danzo's feet, and lifted him up.

The two watched Miki strangely, seeing her drag Danzo by one foot and walk away.

Her figure gradually receded. They wanted to call out and keep Miki, but now didn't seem like a good time.

After a long while, Granny's expression changed. She wouldn't possibly be thinking of dragging this man into the Village like this, would she?

That's too cruel!?

Thinking of this, Granny shook her head violently. No, no, no, not cruel at all.

There is a type of death in this world called social death.

Miki couldn't kill him for now. An intention not carried out is not a crime, and Danzo's case is called an interrupted crime, attempted crime.

The funny thing is that the Third Hokage doesn't consider it a crime.

This is a difference in perception.

But Miki could kill him in a different way. Other Shinobi Clans had to give face to the Hokage, but Miki didn't plan to.

Danzo should be grateful that the massive loss of Chakra led to his unconsciousness from exhaustion; everything would happen without him knowing.

He wouldn't have to endure the most agonizing torment along the way.

In the center of Konoha, on the most bustling street, the lively crowd quickly quieted down, and the passing flow of people parted like water to both sides.

The street became eerily silent in an instant. Everyone stared in unison at the center of the street.

A masked woman dragged an unconscious man through the street, calm and at ease, as if strolling through a garden like a young lady admiring flowers.

The scene was too bizarre, unprecedented. It left everyone speechless for a moment, their eyes wide with shock.

"Mom, an uncle is being dragged away by the Insect Demon Woman! He's going to be eaten by bugs..."

A child's imaginative brain immediately conjured up a perfect horror script.

But the young mother immediately covered her child's innocent little mouth and scolded in a low voice.

"What Insect Demon Woman, that's rude! Call her Mushi-Hime!"

"But, you never scolded me when I called her that before, and you even scared me, saying the Insect Demon Woman would drag me away if I didn't behave."

The child blinked with innocent and confused eyes.

The young mother winked, "You unlucky child, why are you speaking such blunt truths!"

Before, it was a fake dragging away; now, it's a real dragging away!

He's really being dragged!

The Shinobi strolling on the street, meanwhile, silently broke into a cold sweat.

They all knew both individuals, so this scene was particularly terrifying.

And now, who was more terrifying? They exchanged glances, understanding in their hearts.

Absolutely, absolutely do not anger this guy! I definitely don't want to be dragged through the streets like this!

At this moment, although they didn't understand, everyone vaguely grasped a new method of death, and so, they were greatly shaken.

It wasn't until Miki's figure gradually walked away that people's voices slowly returned.

All the prestige Danzo had painstakingly built up over the years was, at this moment, completely wasted.
