Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 221 The Death of Danzo [Part 2]

After Kotoamatsukami was used, Danzo's Mangekyou Sharingan, which he had taken from Shisui, became useless.

After all, Danzo was not Shisui himself, and he only had one eye, so he couldn't use some of the unique skills of the Uchiha clan.

For example, Danzo couldn't use Susanoo, the ultimate weapon unique to the Kaleidoscope.

However, to be honest, Danzo's strength was not actually that weak.

Aside from his penchant for showing off, there's not much else to say.

He clearly only has one eye and one life. If he fought seriously, he wouldn't have been killed by Erzhuzi. But he just wanted to show off and be reckless. He was instantly killed by Erzhuzi as soon as they met. He clearly had the ability to resist, but he just didn't dodge and stubbornly pretended to be something he wasn't.

It's probably because this guy still has some Sharingan left, and he thinks it's okay if he wastes some time with Sasuke, or even if he wastes it all, since he can always replenish it.

Then there is no more.

However, that was Erzhuzi, and Erzhuzi was causing a ruckus at the Five Shadows Gathering.

At this moment, Danzo was facing an attacking force composed of elite Konoha Jonin such as Kakashi, Yamato, Asuma, and Might Guy.

Under these circumstances, even if Danzo had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't have acted as recklessly as in the original story.

Therefore, Danzo fought and retreated, and his objective was very clear: Tsunade, who had just left the place to lure Jiraiya away.

Kakashi and the others had a clear objective: to prevent Danzo from breaking through their encirclement and causing trouble for Tsunade would be a victory.

Meanwhile, Danzo coldly stared at Kakashi and his group blocking his way. Without him saying a word, Aburame Torune's Root squad had already charged forward.

Aburame Torune is an elite Jonin of the Aburame clan.

He genuinely trusted Danzo and remained extremely loyal to him.

Although it could be said that he entrusted himself to the wrong person, in essence, Aburame Torune himself did not feel that there was anything wrong with his loyalty to Danzo.

The insects that Aburame Torune encountered were, in the setting, even nano-sized poisonous insects.

It can be said that their strength is not weak.

However, that refers to attacking from the shadows by exploiting the poisonous properties of insects. Aburame Torune, who possesses this ability, uses it to fight head-on...

Kakashi and Might Guy gave it a thumbs up and teamed up to immediately target Aburame Torune.

The reason is simple: Aburame Terune not only has the characteristics of poisonous insects in her body, but if the toxicity takes hold, she will suffer.

More importantly, he was also the captain of the Root squad ninjas that Danzo brought over.

Therefore, he is the first one to deal with.

In a direct confrontation, Aburame Torune's abilities wouldn't pose much of a problem for Kakashi or Might Guy.

However, Aburame Torune had done all he could.

That is to get Danzo out of the encirclement of elite Jonin like Kakashi and Might Guy, and head straight for Tsunade.

There's still a chance...

Danzo Shimura thought to himself.

As long as he kills Tsunade, Jiraiya will already be under the influence of Kotoamatsukami. If he can kill Tsunade, Jiraiya will definitely be on his side.

The Seventh Hokage...

That's him, Shimura Danzo!

Danzo Shimura was burning with excitement, but he didn't understand why Kakashi, Might Guy, and other elite Jonin had gone to stop Jiraiya.

And now...

But they returned here and continued to surround Danzo.

It's possible that he wasn't unaware of that possibility, but Danzo's heart was already filled with a desire for the Hokage position.

He didn't want to think about that possibility.

Call it self-deception or self-comfort, it doesn't matter.

Danzo in the end...

He caught up with Tsunade...

Ignoring the figure beside Tsunade with their hands tucked into their sleeves, he formed hand seals and unleashed a barrage of wind blades towards Tsunade.

Tsunade frowned, just as she was about to assume a defensive stance, when suddenly the ground beneath Danzo's feet bulged up, and then a giant hand made of rock grabbed directly at Danzo...

After considering the situation internally, Danzo decisively abandoned his defensive stance...

"laugh!"

Yuya's relatively weak Earth Release technique crushed Danzo into a meat patty.

Yuya frowned, while Tsunade, standing beside him, was somewhat surprised: "You killed him?!"

Tsunade was naturally surprised, but not in a accusatory way.

Although both Tsunade and Yua wanted to capture him alive, Tsunade was very clear during the battle how difficult it was to capture a ninja alive.

Not to mention that even if Danzo was incompetent, he was still at least a Jonin-level ninja.

It's already difficult to capture a ninja of this caliber alive.

To Tsunade's surprise, Danzo died so easily!

We were just fighting to the death with her...

Yuya frowned, then immediately reached out to Tsunade. An arm rose from the ground, pulling Tsunade's body backward.

This very action allowed Tsunade to dodge one of Danzo Shimura's wind blades.

Tsunade was utterly shocked. She glanced at Danzo, then at the body that Yua had just grabbed with Earth Release...

That image of blood gushing forth... the mangled meat patties on the ground...

"A clone? No, that's not right..."

Yuya looked at Danzo's arm and sneered, "One of the Sharingan eyes on your arm is closed."

Tsunade was startled, then looked at Danzo's arm.

Sure enough, one of those disgusting Sharingan eyes that were still glancing around had closed.

Danzo's face was cold. Did he really see through the key after only using it once?

But it's okay...

My goal...

It doesn't have to be this man...

Danzo charged directly at Tsunade, who gritted her teeth and assumed an attack stance.

Just as You Ya was about to make a move, he sensed something and immediately withdrew his action, tucking his hands into his sleeves.

Danzo's body was already close to Tsunade's, and he had even gripped his kunai tightly, ready to strike in the next second...

With a "clang," a short sword blocked Danzo's charge.

Danzo's face turned cold. Looking at the white-haired Anbu who had suddenly appeared in front of him, Danzo withdrew his attack, cautiously took two steps back, and then looked behind him.

There, Matt Day was already poised to strike, his hands clenching so tightly they were making a cracking sound.

"Lord Hokage...didn't we agree that he would be left to me to deal with...? What if you get injured...?" Might Guy chuckled, then clenched his fist as he spoke.

Before Tsunade could speak, Yua, who was standing to the side, already wore a look of schadenfreude: "Well, there's nothing I can do about it. His target is the Tsunade of this world. He's the one charging towards me~"

Tsunade fell silent, realizing then that the two people before her were Hokage loyal to another world…

"Hey, that's true. In that case, please wait on the side. We can't let you make a move again. After all, you can't afford to make even the slightest mistake."

Sakumo Hatake sighed helplessly. "That idiot Might Guy... even though the Hokage brought them here nominally as part of the Kage's Guard, how could the Hokage possibly need your protection?"

Fine, let's deal with this guy first.

"Hey, I'm fired up! Let's start with a small test... Fourth Wound Gate... Open!"

Might Guy immediately activated his Burst Mode, which Yua was used to; when Might Guy sparred with Sakumo Hatake, he would usually open his Fifth Gate directly.

Opening the fourth gate now is clearly a test of Danzo's abilities.

Danzo's face darkened, and he then looked at Yua and said, "I know you. You are the Hokage of another world..."

You're not even from our world, why are you meddling in our affairs?!

"Didn't you say you wouldn't interfere in the internal affairs of other countries or villages?!"

You Ya chuckled: "Now you know to tell me this? You were just trying to attack me."

Danzo gritted his teeth: "That was a misunderstanding. As long as you go back now, I can pretend it never happened."

For Danzo, the top priority now is to kill Tsunade. Once Tsunade is dead, the position of Hokage will definitely be his.

As for the Naruto in this other world...

We'll talk about it later.

Yuya rolled her eyes. Who on earth gave Danzo the courage to say such a thing?!

You don't actually think you still have the upper hand over me, do you?

Yuya ignored Danzo's words, simply tucking his hands into his sleeves and nodding to Danzo with his chin: "Remember, capture him alive."

"Hah!" Might Guy roared, unable to wait any longer, and dashed out.

(So ​​fast!) Danzo stared wide-eyed at Might Guy, who had appeared beside him almost instantly. As Might Guy's whip kick came whistling through the air, Danzo's body was instantly turned into a piece of wood with a bang.

Not far away, Danzo's body materialized.

Might Guy's body contorted in a bizarre way, abruptly retracting his whip kick before it was about to launch, and he vanished from his spot, charging towards Danzo.

Danzo gritted his teeth in resentment; he hated taijutsu ninjas the most.

"Swish swish swish"

Danzo immediately created three clones.

Ignoring everything else, Might Guy focused on the clone and kicked it directly.

With a "bang," the clone was destroyed, and the other three Danzos simultaneously had bulging mouths...

[Wind Escape: Three Great Arashi]

The fierce storm swept Might Guy into the storm, and Danzo smiled cruelly—you'll be torn to pieces by the storm inside!

However, Might Guy neither dodged nor evaded, but instead clenched his fists tightly and roared...

The chakra surged and dispersed the storm.

"What?! Impossible!"

Might Guy's body flushed red as he looked at the three Danzos in front of him. With a leap, he charged forward.

Nothing is impossible. Might Guy, who has directly opened the Seventh Gate, would find it too easy to defeat Danzo now.

Danzo was not a ninja skilled in close combat.

Might Guy can be considered a top-tier taijutsu ninja. Almost instantly, Might Guy appeared before Danzo and his clones.

This isn't a clone technique; it's just that the speed is so fast that it creates afterimages, making it look like a clone technique.

Matt Day's movements were simple and clean; he charged forward, raised his foot, threw a punch, and delivered a front kick...

Danzo's clone was destroyed, and he himself was killed by a single basic attack from Might Guy after he opened the Seventh Gate.

But this time, he was resurrected again.

Panting heavily, Danzo looked at Might Guy with great apprehension. The only good news was that the Eight Gates technique couldn't be kept open for long.

Might Guy frowned as he looked at the resurrected Danzo. Just as he was about to continue his actions, Sakumo Hatake stopped him.

"You really took him down once, now it's my turn."

As he spoke, Hatake Sakumo looked at Danzo's arm, where two of the disgusting eyeballs had already closed.

"Hmm... alright, then I'll go protect the Hokage."

Might Guy, this stubborn, muscle-bound guy, may be simple-minded, but Yuya really likes him.

He's obedient, hardworking, and quite capable—what more could you ask for?

Tsunade had already recognized Sakumo Hatake and Might Guy.

The world of Yuya did not experience the Second or Third Shinobi World War.

However, this world has a relevant history.

Naturally, Tsunade couldn't possibly not recognize Sakumo Hatake, the "White Fang of Konoha."

only……

That white tooth... it's not on her side after all...

Danzo secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This white-haired guy doesn't look like that watermelon rind ninja at all; he's a taijutsu user.

He agreed to a contest of ninjutsu.

I have quite a few ninja techniques myself.

Then Sakumo Hatake drew the short sword he was carrying on his back.

"Sizzle"

Furthermore, a powerful electric current was directly applied to it, creating a stream of light that left Danzo completely bewildered...

"brush"

Danzo instinctively took a step back, and in that one step, a short sword narrowly sliced ​​across his neck...

Danzo was shocked and immediately used the Substitution Technique to escape the battlefield.

Touching the bloodstains on his neck, Danzo gritted his teeth.

You bastard, you're a martial arts practitioner too?!

However, the next second, a shuriken crackling with electricity shot towards him.

Danzo leaped into the air to dodge, formed hand seals, and unleashed a dragon-shaped flame towards Sakumo Hatake.

Sakumo Hatake dodged to the side...

"Got it!" The dragon-shaped flame suddenly emitted a transformation sound effect, turning into Danzo himself. At such close range, his Wind Release technique couldn't possibly miss!

A fierce wind arose, and Sakumo Hatake was swept into the storm, his short sword falling to the ground.

Danzo was panting heavily, his eyes involuntarily drifting towards Might Guy.

Danzo naturally believed he had won, and he thought he would next face Might Guy, or a combination of Yuya and Tsunade.

However, what he saw were three people looking at him indifferently.

(What's going on?! I beat that white-haired bastard... why are they so calm?!)

"The Secret Techniques of Konoha Ninjutsu..."

A deep voice sounded from behind Danzo.

Danzo's pupils contracted sharply; he remembered!

just……

(That bastard's dagger that fell down! That's his real weapon!)

"A Thousand Years of Killing!"

"laugh……"

"..." "..." "..."

"Aww..."

Tsunade was completely dumbfounded by what she saw.

You Ya tucked her hands into her sleeves, trying to suppress her laughter.

Matt Day's expression, however, was unusually strange.

There's even one more thing...

Empathy?

Danzo collapsed to the ground and began to convulse.

Sakumo Hatake, with his hands clasped together and his index and middle fingers sticking out, calmly looked at Danzo lying dead.

No one... can withstand my ultimate martial arts techniques.

Nobody's here!

Picking up the short sword that had just been caught in the storm, Hatake Sakumo walked towards Danzo, about to use a sealing technique.

But to everyone's surprise, Danzo's arm, covered in Sharingan eyes, suddenly began to move on its own...

"laugh"

Like trees breaking through the soil, wooden splinters suddenly burst forth from Danzo's pale arm...

Sakumo Hatake quickly retreated, but a tree still managed to grab his ankle.

Hatake Sakumo's expression changed rapidly. His short sword was enveloped in lightning as he chopped off a tree branch with a single strike, then immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to pull away.

Once Sakumo Hatake had created some distance, he immediately cut the wooden strip at the ankle.

However, it was quite obvious that the skin on her ankles had become dry and aged...

Sakumo Hatake gasped, and Tsunade's expression turned icy cold.

You Ya pursed his lips and sighed.

Sakumo Hatake was about to step forward again when Yua reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

Yuya said to Hatake Sakumo, "Under normal circumstances, I won't take action."

but……

This is an exception.

As he spoke, Yuya smiled at Hatake Sakumo: "You've done a very good job."

Sakumo Hatake quickly lowered his head, indicating that it was actually just so-so.

Yuya felt that Hatake Sakumo might have misunderstood. He said he did a good job because he captured some very interesting footage.

Although these recorded images cannot be publicly broadcast, it's certainly fine for Youya to watch them secretly by himself.

Hmm, maybe in the future we can invite people from the same generation, like Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, and Homura Mitokado, to watch it together.

Although it's not the same Danzo, losing face is still the same, right?

Danzo Shimura got up from the ground, his face completely ashen.

He can accept dying by having his head chopped off, being punched to death, or any other way of dying.

But the one thing I just can't accept is what happened...

He actually died like that...

At this point, Shimura Danzo's body could no longer be considered human.

Trees sprouted rapidly from his shoulder blades, as if in the dark underground, tree seeds sensed the sunlight and broke through the soil to absorb it.

Add to that the pale, strangely colored arm, the three closed eyeballs on it, and the other lively eyeballs that kept blinking back and forth...

"You've completely enraged me..." Shimura Danzo stared at the group in front of him, his face contorted. "I didn't want to use the First Hokage's power because it's too strong and I'm afraid I can't control it..."

but……

but……

But right now, all I want to do is kill you all!

Danzo Shimura roared and charged toward the group.

The tree roots that were still emerging from behind him moved closer to the group as he did so...

Yuya narrowed his eyes, and instead of retreating, he advanced. Under Tsunade's shocked gaze, Yuya took a step forward and walked into the encirclement formed by the trees that emerged from Danzo's body.

With a "snap," the trees completely enveloped Youya.

Danzo's lips curled into a cruel smile.

If this branch touches a person, it can absorb their life force, and then the person can…

"call"

Suddenly, rows of golden powder appeared in the air.

Danzo was suddenly stunned: What is this?

Then, almost in an instant, the trees that enveloped Yua, Danzo's body connected to the trees, the ground beneath Danzo's feet, and the flowers, trees, birds, and insects resting within the surrounding area for several kilometers...

They all turned into a golden hue...

The tree that had enveloped Yua was kicked to pieces by Yua, and Yua, who emerged from it, scratched his head under Tsunade's utterly shocked gaze...

"Wow... This is the first time I've used this kind of contact awakening in conjunction with the ten thousand tons of gold I brought with me..."

"Yeah, I didn't control myself well. Oh well, I'll be more careful next time."

Yuya muttered a few words to himself, tapped the ground with the tip of his shoe, and the environment within several kilometers around Danzo gradually returned to its original state.

Yua walked over and patted Danzo, whom she had turned into a golden doll. She was very satisfied.

"Now... I've finally got you!"

After saying that, Yuya looked at Tsunade: "By the way, this time I helped you eliminate Danzo, who was causing internal strife..."

Let's not talk about money, but I hope you can share relevant information with us.

You Ya's lips curled into a smile: "We're not unreasonable people, are we?"

Tsunade just stared blankly at Yua, who was standing there in place, speechless...
