Chapter 457 Danzo's End

Danzo at this time was much stronger than when he fought Sasuke in the original storyline; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he had Kage-level strength.

However, the Six Paths of Pain opposite him was even stronger.

With only Kage-level strength, facing Pain's Six Paths who had no information whatsoever, death was practically certain.

Moreover, with Minato Namikaze standing to the side and Madara and Hashirama in the shadows, Danzo would have no chance to escape.

It's safe to say that Danzo is doomed this time.

Danzo: No, I think I can still be saved.

"Wind Release: Shuriken"

Danzo took out two shuriken, infused them with wind-style chakra, and then threw them at the Hell Path of Pain.

He wasn't thinking about defeating his opponent, but rather about creating a breakthrough to escape.

Wind Release: The shuriken's cutting power is extremely strong; it can easily cut through even huge rocks.

Danzo cleverly hid in the path of the Wind Release: Shūriki attack.

He figured that if the Hell Path didn't want to die, they would definitely make way, giving him the chance to break out of the encirclement.

"It seems I can't return to Konoha, but after wandering the ninja world for so many years, how could I not have a few safe houses?"

"Once I gather my old men, you little minions, just wait for my revenge."

The hell realm cleared its way, just as Danzo had hoped.

Upon seeing this, Danzo's lips curled up slightly.

He had already figured out how to take revenge on Minato Namikaze and Konoha after escaping the crisis.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the Six Paths of Pain were all puppets created from corpses.

The reason Hell Path gave way was simply because Nagato didn't want to lose this puppet.

After all, the Hell Path's power is capable of reviving the other five puppets.

Despite Minato's sweet words, Nagato didn't easily believe him.

Since Yahiko's death, he has stopped trusting anyone easily, except for Konan.

If I have to fight the Fourth Hokage later, the Hell Path will be absolutely indispensable.

"What?"

Just as Wind Release: Shūsha was about to strike Hell Path, Hungry Ghost Path suddenly stepped in front of Hell Path, blocking the attack for him.

Furthermore, Wind Release: Shūshakuken did not completely eliminate the Preta Path.

The ability of the Hungry Ghost Path is to devour chakra.

When the Wind Release: Shuriken is about to attack it, most of the chakra attached to the shuriken has already been absorbed.

Therefore, in this attack, the Hungry Ghost Path only needs to withstand the intensity of an ordinary shuriken attack.

With the defensive capabilities of the Hungry Ghost Realm, the attack strength of an ordinary shuriken is like a tickle, and there is nothing to fear.

"Damn it."

Because of the intrusion of the hungry ghosts, what was originally an escape route instantly turned into walking into a trap.

Danzo wanted to change his route, but it was too late.

At that moment, Hell Path appeared behind Danzo, blocking his retreat route.

The Animal Path summoned a chameleon, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Danzo at any moment.

The Human Path and the Asura Path restricted Danzo's escape route from the left and right respectively.

Given this situation, it seems certain that Danzo will die at the hands of Pain in the next move.

In the blink of an eye, facing the further encirclement by the Six Paths of Pain, Danzo shook his head, his right thumb pointing out, and his hands quickly formed hand seals.

"Spiritual communication techniques."

As the smoke cleared, Danzo's summoning beast, Yumemoku, appeared.

Using the enormous size of the dream monster, Danzo perfectly broke through the encirclement of the Six Paths of Pain.

"As expected of Elder Danzo, he actually thought of using a summoning technique to break the deadlock."

Minato, standing outside the battlefield, chuckled, seemingly having a very high opinion of Danzo, but in reality, he didn't think much of him at all.

Danzo, who doesn't know the Flying Thunder God Technique, struggles in vain.

And indeed, Minato's prediction came true.

After the appearance of the Dreambread, the situation did not become easier; in fact, it became even worse.

Faced with the enormous summoned beast, Shura Path unleashed its full power, bombarding Mo Meng with small missiles as if they were free.

The animal realm also summoned several large spirit beasts to attack Mengmo.

Faced with the combined attack of missiles and summoning beasts, Danzo, who was standing on the head of the dream monster, was naturally also affected.

If he were a ninja specializing in Earth Release techniques, he might have been able to defend himself using defensive Earth Release techniques.

This work was compiled and uploaded by [author's name].

But he specializes in Wind Release.

Wind Release doesn't have many defensive ninjutsu.

Therefore, after Mengmo symbolically cooperated with Danzo to use two Wind Release ninjutsu to eliminate several Animal Path summoning beasts, Mengmo was blasted back by the Asura Path's missiles.

"How awful!"

Clutching his bleeding left hand, Danzo gritted his teeth in fury.

He did not continue to resist at this point; given his current state, resistance would likely be futile.

He glared angrily at Minato Namikaze not far away and demanded fiercely, "Why? Why did you treat me like this? I have never done anything for personal gain; it was all for Konoha. Why did you and Hiruzen betray me? Why?!"

The Six Paths of Pain cooperated by not launching any further attacks.

Nagato was also eager to know what the Fourth Hokage was really up to.

"No selfish motives?"

Minato Namikaze shook his head and calmly replied, "I don't think Elder Danzo is without ulterior motives. Putting aside everything else, the Third Hokage had already ordered a ban on researching the First Hokage's cells, so why did you still want to research them? You shouldn't have forgotten about deceiving Kakashi into assassinating the Third Hokage back then, right?"

Furthermore, Root was originally the training department of the Anbu. Even if they were to do dirty work, they shouldn't brainwash their members into killing machines who only know how to obey your orders and ignore the Hokage's orders, right?

After all this, you still have the nerve to say you have no selfish motives?

By the way, Nagato's decision to collude with Hanzo to harm the Akatsuki wasn't an order issued by the Hokage; it was a decision Danzo made on his own.

In fact, considering Danzo and Root's role in doing dirty work, it can't be said that they did anything wrong in harming the Akatsuki.

His mistake was not eliminating the threat completely, leaving Nagato, who possessed the Rinnegan, alive.

If Nagato had been killed in that battle, perhaps none of this would have happened today.

Of course, the incident of harming the Akatsuki occurred during the Third Hokage's term.

After Minato Namikaze took office, he would absolutely not allow the village's ninjas to harm other villages without reason.

"Old married couple"

Danzo panicked.

After Minato laid everything out on the table, Danzo could no longer deceive himself.

To say that everything he did was for Konoha?

Well, maybe a little, but definitely not all of it.

His main motivation was to become the Hokage.

The title of Hokage had become Danzo's obsession.
