Naruto: A parody of the entire ninja world, the opening scene infuriates the Kage.

Chapter 295 Hiruzen, I'm Back

"What? Danzo is back?"

Sarutobi looked surprised.

At that moment, an ANBU ninja knelt on one knee in front of Sarutobi.

Although Sarutobi preferred that Danzo return to the village, he was currently facing a dilemma.

Danzo didn't know how to keep a low profile. Before returning to his village, he caused trouble in Takigakure and then went to Hozuki Castle, which caused Konoha a lot of trouble.

It's important to know that Danzo already had the label of a rogue ninja. If he had returned to the village quietly, Sarutobi could have helped clear his name.

Now, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to clear Danzo's name.

When the village entrance requested reinforcements, the village's secret service rushed to the scene.

Upon spotting Danzo from afar, members of the Anbu immediately came to report to Sarutobi.

Sarutobi was quite surprised.

However, since Danzo has returned to the village, Sarutobi naturally has to go and see him.

With a wave of his hand, he dismissed the ANBU ninja in front of him and headed towards the village entrance.

……

Police Department.

Fugaku was also startled and abruptly stood up.

Danzo is back?
This caused Fugaku's expression to change drastically.

In the past, Danzo had suppressed the Uchiha clan quite a bit.

It can be said that Danzo harbored deep malice towards the Uchiha clan.

Although Danzo is now a rogue ninja and has affected the diplomatic relations between Konoha and Takigakure, Kusanagi, and others, Danzo has always been a close friend of that old bastard Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Although Fugaku wanted to kill Danzo, regardless of Danzo's own strength, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Homura Mitokado, and others would definitely stop him.

If Danzo were to return to Konoha, the Uchiha clan's situation would become even more difficult.

The Uchiha clan's situation had finally improved a little.

……

"Hiruzen, I'm back."

Danzo defeated Kakashi and Hayate, and then killed them.

They waited right at the village entrance.

Knowing that Sarutobi would come, and now that he had seen Sarutobi, Danzo smiled.

In fact, Danzo would have preferred to see Sarutobi still as Hokage, while he, Danzo, would seize the position.

Unfortunately, Sarutobi is no longer the Hokage; the current Hokage is Jiraiya.

Taking the Hokage position from Jiraiya didn't give Danzo much of a sense of accomplishment.

However, I still have to become Hokage.

Becoming Hokage was Danzo's dream for decades, and also his obsession.

Having acquired 'invincible' strength, Danzo became arrogant and disdained to use underhanded methods, opting instead to overwhelm with sheer power.

Not convinced? Then crush them with overwhelming force.

Suppress all dissent with force.

"Danzo, how dare you come back? You sent assassins to kill the daimyo and frame me, you even went to Takigakure to steal the Hero's Water, and you went to Hozuki Castle to cause trouble. Such recklessness is unworthy of being a Konoha ninja!" Sarutobi's face was serious, and his tone was even more vicious.

Danzo chuckled dismissively: "An old man assassinating a daimyo? As for Takigakure and Hozuki Castle, they secretly have dealings with Black Zetsu."
Everything I've done is for the village.

If Black Zetsu were here, he would definitely be incredibly frustrated.

Are Takigakure, Kusanagi, and Black Zetsu secretly in contact?
Danzo could fabricate lies without batting an eye.

They didn't take the Takigakure and Kusanagi ninjas seriously.

Since Black Zetsu is a villain, let's just say that Takigakure and Kusanagi have dealings with him.

After hearing what Danzo said, Sarutobi was speechless.

"Danzo has changed quite a bit!" Sarutobi thought to himself.

That said, Sarutobi himself has also changed.

As for Danzo's changes, Sarutobi knew that it was mainly due to the light barrier.

The light barrier caused Danzo a lot of trouble, so it's normal for his personality to change.

Danzo has changed quite a bit.

This is also related to Danzo being forced to become a rogue ninja.

After all, becoming a rogue ninja was worse than death for Danzo.

As for now, Danzo is full of confidence, his face radiating self-assurance.

Danzo swaggered back to the village, fearless.

"Danzo, you may have to go to prison for a while," Sarutobi said to Danzo with a serious expression.

Sarutobi considered sending Danzo to Konoha prison for a while, and then releasing him after clearing his name.

If Danzo were to return to the village, nothing would happen to him, but he would not be able to convince the villagers.

"Konoha's prison is too small; I'm afraid it can't hold this old man," Danzo said defiantly.

Sarutobi frowned at Danzo's attitude. He and Danzo had known each other for decades, and Danzo should understand his plans. He should cooperate now.

But Danzo was so stubborn that it was difficult for Sarutobi to protect him.

At this moment, Kakashi, Hayate, and the others also got up from the ground.

"Kakashi, are you alright?" Hayate looked at Kakashi.

"My chakra is almost depleted, and I've broken two ribs," Kakashi said with a wry smile.

However, Hayate's expression turned somewhat strange after hearing what Kakashi said.

At this moment, Hayate thought of Kakashi's behavior on the light screen.

Therefore, one cannot completely believe what Kakashi says.

Just when you think Kakashi might be about to die, he might suddenly stand up and give you a Kamui Shuriken or a Kamui Raikiri.

Kakashi noticed Hayate's expression and could roughly guess what Hayate was thinking. In response, Kakashi gave him a deadpan look.

Because of the light barrier, Kakashi's reputation was also damaged.

The labels like "Thousand-Year Killer," "55 Open," and "Old Six" are stuck to him and can't be removed.

Ignoring Hayate, Kakashi looked at Sarutobi and Danzo.

It's clear that Sarutobi doesn't want to severely punish Danzo.

If Danzo cooperates, Sarutobi will definitely try his best to clear Danzo's name.

Although Danzo is a rogue ninja now, he might suddenly become a hero of Konoha. Things are unpredictable.

Just like everyone thought Obito was dead and gave him the title of Konoha Hero, it turned out that Obito was not dead, but the instigator of the Nine-Tails' attack.

Kakashi couldn't believe his eyes when he thought of Obito.

I never expected Obito to become so extreme after turning to the dark side.

Danzo's reaction was somewhat unexpected by Kakashi.

Sarutobi clearly wanted to help Danzo, but Danzo wasn't cooperating.

This undoubtedly illustrates one point.

Does this give Danzo such confidence?
Having fought Danzo before, Kakashi could sense Danzo's immense power, which was simply unfathomable. Even if he used Kamui, he probably wouldn't be able to defeat Danzo.

Kakashi has no confidence that he can go toe-to-toe with Danzo in his current state.

"Danzo, what are you trying to do?" Sarutobi's face was grim.

At this moment, Sarutobi was also quite angry.

"I have a meeting of Jonin to announce," Danzo said without further ado.

A Jonin meeting?

Not only did Sarutobi's expression change, but Kakashi's heart also skipped a beat.

Danzo's purpose is obvious.

He suddenly returned and is now holding a Jonin meeting—this is a power grab!

Simply put, Danzo wanted to become Hokage.

In fact, Danzo always wanted to become Hokage.

When Tobirama Senju chose Sarutobi, Danzo was very unwilling.

For so many years, Danzo had done all the dirty and hard work, while Sarutobi was the pride of Konoha. This made Danzo very dissatisfied and jealous.

"Danzo, don't make another mistake," Sarutobi said expressionlessly.

At this moment, Oshio's aura also appeared on Sarutobi.

Given Sarutobi's current aura, it's hard to believe he used to be weak.

Sarutobi was also full of confidence; even if they were both Kage-level, he was definitely stronger than Danzo. Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was old, Danzo was old too.

Therefore, the advantage lies with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Sensing Sarutobi's fighting spirit, Danzo smiled.

Before returning to the village, Danzo had already planned that he would fight Sarutobi in public and defeat him in front of everyone.

Using Sarutobi to establish authority will definitely be effective.

At this moment, Sarutobi planned to fight, but this played right into Danzo's hands.

"Ultimately, a ninja's strength is what matters most," Danzo said with a smile.

The next moment, Danzo formed hand seals and unleashed a Wind Release ninjutsu.

Sarutobi is proficient in all five elemental ninjutsu, including techniques that counter wind-style ninjutsu and multi-elemental composite ninjutsu.

However, Sarutobi's hand seal speed was not as fast as Danzo's.

This was something even Sarutobi found hard to believe.

Danzo's hand seals were much faster than Sarutobi's.

In Sarutobi's memory, Danzo's hand seal speed should have been slightly slower than his.

How long has it been since Danzo left Konoha? And his hand speed has already increased?
The speed of hand seal formation is fast, which is a major advantage in combat, except in unconventional battles, of course.

In battles at the Kage or Six Paths level, it would be abnormal for a ninja to be seriously performing hand seals.

In terms of chakra reserves, Danzo far surpasses Sarutobi.

In the short time they clashed, Sarutobi's surprise grew ever greater.

"Danzo's chakra is probably no weaker than that of the Uzumaki clan," Sarutobi thought to himself.

This is a bit outrageous.

After all, the Uzumaki clan is famous for its enormous chakra reserves.

The Shimura clan doesn't have a lot of chakra.

Compared to before Danzo became a rogue ninja, his chakra has increased far too much.

It's almost unbelievable.

Furthermore, Sarutobi also vaguely sensed that Danzo possessed the chakra of a tailed beast.

According to intelligence, Danzo has a Zero-Tails inside him.

Darkness in the heart can enhance the power of the Zero-Tails, and Danzo is the Dark Ninja!
Looking across the ninja world, whose heart is darker than Danzo's?
Black Zetsu?

Although he is a black blob, his heart may not be darker than Danzo's.

Sarutobi also acknowledged Danzo's darkness.

Therefore, it's not surprising that when Danzo became the Jinchūriki of the Zero-Tails, the Zero-Tails' strength increased significantly.

As for whether Zero-Tails' current chakra is comparable to that of the Flying Tails, it's unclear.

However, apart from the Nine-Tailed Beast, the difference between the other eight tailed beasts is not that great.

Nine-Tails versus One-Tails to Eight-Tails is a breeze.

Suddenly, Sarutobi created distance and then summoned Enma.

"Sarutobi, what's going on?" Enma was also puzzled after being summoned.

At the entrance to Konoha village, Sarutobi and Danzo were fighting, which puzzled Enma.

"There's no time for further explanations. Let's defeat Danzo first," Sarutobi said.

"Alright!" The ape demon transformed into the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel.

Danzo also has a summoning beast, a Baku, which is much weaker than Sarutobi's Enma.

Therefore, Danzo was unable to summon Baku through spiritual means.

With the Vajra Staff in hand, Sarutobi's fighting power increased significantly.

When Sarutobi struck with his staff, it was with tremendous force and unparalleled power.

Danzo gathered his chakra and wielded a kunai to defend against Sarutobi's Vajra Nyorikado.

As the kunai and the Vajra staff collided, a piercing metallic clang resounded, and chakra turbulence spread outwards.

The moonlight and gale-force winds, which were relatively close, almost suffocated.

Even a close-up viewer of a battle of this magnitude would find it unbearable.

Moreover, Gale is still injured.

As a result, the gale retreated quite a bit, and he felt a little better.

Kakashi also retreated a bit; his injuries were more severe than Hayate's, and he was now in almost the same condition.

At this moment, Hayate's eyes widened. The strength displayed by both Sarutobi and Danzo shocked Hayate.

Sarutobi and Danzo are both still in their old age.

Once a ninja gets old, their physical functions will decline, and their strength will inevitably decrease.

Then, Danzo's kunai shattered.

Even though the chakra added to the kunai was much greater, it still couldn't stop the Vajra Staff.

Thus, under Sarutobi's attack, Danzo was sent flying dozens of meters, crashing into the village's outhouse and collapsing it.

Fortunately, Danzo and the outhouse were just missed each other; if he had fallen right in, it would have been a huge joke.

"Hiruzen Sarutobi..."

Danzo got up, seemingly unharmed, but he was furious.

In his rage, Danzo was enveloped by a massive surge of dark chakra.

Zero's enormous body was revealed.

Now, Zero Tail has two heads, making it look like a two-headed snake.

Zero-tail has masks on both of its heads, but the left mask has half a zero on it, and the right mask also has half a zero on it.

Besides its two heads and massive body, Zero-Tail also has some bone spurs all over its body.

It looks eerie, ferocious, and terrifying...

“That Danzo guy…” Sarutobi’s forehead was covered in cold sweat.

……

Inside Konoha Village, several White Zetsu disguised themselves as old men and women, spying on Danzo and Sarutobi's battle from afar.

Upon seeing the two-headed Zero-Tail, the White Zetsu were quite surprised.

Given Zero-Tails' current power, only Nine-Tails among the nine tailed beasts can reliably defeat it.

"Is this Zero Tail? Why does it have two heads?"

"It looks terrifying."

"The Third Hokage is probably no match for him."

"Look, is Kakashi, that sixth brother, going to launch a sneak attack?"

"They have no tolerance!"

……

At this moment, Danzo's attention was focused on Sarutobi, and he was only thinking about defeating Sarutobi, so he didn't pay any attention to Kakashi.

Moreover, Kakashi was seriously injured, so Danzo didn't think he was a threat.

Hayate looked at Kakashi, who had just looked half-dead, but now seemed much more energetic.

Furthermore, Kakashi's Sharingan changed from three tomoe to Mangekyou Sharingan.

Kakashi used his Kaleidoscope Sharingan to lock onto the mask on the head of the Zero-Tails.

Zero-Tail's weakness is the mask on its face.

To eliminate Zero-Tail, its mask must be destroyed.

Now, Zero-Tail has two heads. If we only destroy the mask of one head, we probably won't be able to eliminate it.

Kakashi wasn't confident he could destroy both of Zero-Tails' masks at once; the chances were too slim. So, he decided to destroy one mask first.

Having locked onto one of Zero-Tails' masks, Kakashi began to unleash Kamui.

Instantly, space distorted, and one of Zero's masks was torn apart by the space.

When one of Zero-Tail's masks was destroyed, the entire Zero-Tail wailed in agony.

Then, Zero's momentum clearly weakened.

However, after losing one mask, a new mask slowly forms, but it takes several minutes.

As for Danzo, he was also in a bad situation at this time.

"Kakashi~" Danzo glared at Kakashi.

Danzo thought Kakashi was finished, but Kakashi proved him wrong.
