Chapter 138 The Death of Danzo (10,000 words, please subscribe)

"Sage Art: Wood Release: Top Transformation Buddha!"

With a soft hum from Xiuze, the chakra that stretched like a rainbow piercing the sun erupted completely!

The colossal Buddha statue, which blotted out the sky, suddenly moved at that moment. Amidst a deafening roar that shook the heavens, the Buddha's arms swung down simultaneously.

The barrage of punches, carrying seemingly boundless power, struck straight down, causing the heavens and earth to appear to collapse in an instant!

"asshole!"

Onoki let out a roar; at this moment, he truly felt fear.

He frantically formed hand seals, and the rock giant of "Earth Release: Steel Legacy Technique" reappeared.

He continuously channeled his chakra to maintain the rock giant, hoping it could hold out for a little longer!

"Damn it"

The Fourth Raikage and Killer Bee were also pale. Faced with such an attack, the Fourth Raikage was completely helpless, while Killer Bee could only rely on the Eight-Tails to defend.

"madman."

Chiyo and Ebizo exchanged a glance, both feeling a pang of regret for having provoked such a madman.

Only Nagato's eyes grew brighter and brighter; after all, he possessed the "Eyes of a Sage."

The stronger his "Immortal Body" became, the more it proved his potential, and the more excited he naturally became!

"This is a perfect opportunity to see just how far your 'immortal body' has progressed!"

Nagato was also wondering whether Hidezawa was giving it his all right now.

Because he hadn't forgotten that Xiuze also possessed a move that seemed to be a giant golden sword that could pierce through the heavens and earth.

However, this guy didn't use it now, but instead used the Senju clan's "symbol" Wood Release to deal with it.

But he didn't care. Either way, it was a manifestation of the "Immortal Body," and he would only feel excited to fight against such power!

hum-

Under his control, countless summoned beasts immediately blocked his path, and at the same time, he also unleashed his own power.

"Shinra Tensei!"

He wasn't insane yet, so naturally he wouldn't use "Super Shinra Tensei" to waste his lifespan, but he still wanted to test its current strength.

An invisible repulsive force suddenly appeared between the thousand-meter-tall Buddha statues, as if trying to block their movements.

However, this force was ultimately too weak. Under the seemingly endless power of the giant Buddha, this repulsive force only slightly delayed the fist's descent.

Rumbling--

Rumbling--

Finally, the giant Buddha's fist slammed down!

In an instant, the world seemed to change color.

The entire earth trembled violently beneath the thousand-meter-tall giant Buddha, with the eight-tailed wrathful howls and the monsters summoned by Nagato constantly splitting apart.

Furthermore, the rock giants summoned by Onoki kept shattering and reforming, and the endless puppets tried desperately to stop them, but were as futile as a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Amidst the roar, the cracks, resembling a canyon, continued to spread outwards!

Rumbling--

Rumbling--

A deafening roar, like the sky collapsing, accompanied the merciless descent of the thousand-meter-tall Buddha's fist, creating a frenzied sound. The power that pierced through heaven and earth seemed to shatter and collapse everything in the world!

Under this insane force, the kingdoms surrounding the Land of Grass seem to have been affected!

In Konoha Village of the Land of Fire, a torrential downpour was underway, with thunderous lightning striking incessantly, enveloping the entire village in a curtain of rain.

Hiruzen Sarutobi stood by the window watching the rain, but his mind was constantly preoccupied with Danzo's affairs.

The information that Xiuze handed him was so shocking that he would have questioned its authenticity in the past.

But with Danzo's defection, he knew that there was no need to question this information anymore; Danzo had really done too many terrible things!

Danzo

Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, his heart filled with sorrow. After all, Danzo was an old friend with whom he had shared more than sixty years of friendship.

His old friend's defection has been a huge blow to him. Sometimes he can't help but wonder if he really did something wrong.

Have I been a terrible Hokage?

Did I spoil Danzo too much, leading to the current situation?

hum-

However, just as he was feeling bitter inside, the earth suddenly shook, and the shaking immediately brought him back to his senses.

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

He was puzzled, but the Land of Fire wasn't located in an earthquake zone, so the First Hokage and his group's choice of location was rather arbitrary.

It was built exactly where Madara Uchiha made a promise when they were children.

Fortunately, the Land of Fire has such excellent geographical conditions that they don't need to worry about these problems at all.

This sudden turn of events truly took him by surprise.

At that very moment, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the office door.

"Hokage-sama, something's happened!"

The door opened, and Yamanaka Inoichi rushed in, his face pale. He spoke urgently.

"In the direction of the Land of Grass, a powerful and vast burst of chakra erupted."

This chakra completely surpasses ordinary people's understanding; it can be sensed even from a great distance.

Is it a man-made phenomenon?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression turned somewhat grim; this kind of uncontrollable power was the most terrifying!

But soon, he suddenly realized something: according to Kakashi and the others' report when they set off, they were heading towards the Land of Grass.

"Does that chakra feel familiar?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi asked tentatively, and Yamanaka Inoichi hesitated for a moment before nodding slightly.

"There are some, but they are also very different, this force."

It seems to resemble the power of Shihara Hidezawa, the newly promoted leader of Root, but the chakra aura isn't entirely the same.

Upon hearing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi was both pleasantly surprised and helpless.

It's impossible to be sure, which is really frustrating, but if it really is Shusawa, then the increase in Konoha's strength is not just a little bit!

just

With such immense power, Danzo is probably doomed this time.

Hiruzen Sarutobi was filled with mixed emotions, while in Kumogakure, the Hidden Cloud Village in the Land of Lightning, Tsuchida was organizing documents.

At four o'clock, the Raikage set off with his younger brother, leaving the affairs of the Land of Lightning to him.

"My lord, something terrible has happened!"

However, at that moment, a member of the secret service rushed in!

"Sir, according to the sensory team's report, a powerful burst of chakra has occurred."

"Chakra burst?"

Tsuchitai was taken aback. Why would he need to report something like a chakra burst?

However, the next moment, after the ANBU member finished speaking, his expression changed drastically!

"According to the Perception Team's report, the source of this power seems to be in the Land of Grass."

The Land of Grass?!

Upon hearing these words, Tu Tai suddenly felt dizzy.

The Land of Grass, isn't that where the Raikage went?

In an instant, his face turned deathly pale.

"I wonder how Chiyo and the others will fare this time."

In the Land of Wind, in Sunagakure, Rasa was looking at a report, but he couldn't help but think about the situation in the Land of Grass.

Luo Sha felt somewhat displeased with these two elders because they wielded far too much power!

But to his dismay, the village simply couldn't do without these two people.

Sometimes he needs to consult Chiyo on political matters, while he needs to find Ebizo for the secret service, and sometimes he even needs Ebizo to take the blame.

The term "clay pot" isn't just a name sometimes.

The village of Sunagakure was incredibly poor due to its geographical environment and the fact that its daimyo was also a poor man!

Training a qualified successor is no easy task for them; ninjas are always an expensive business.

boom--

However, at that moment, the entire Sunagakure village suddenly shook, and this strange situation made Rasa stand up abruptly!

"What happened? Was it an earthquake?"

He muttered something incredulously and ran toward the windowsill, but soon he froze in place.

Because he saw a sandstorm, like a tsunami, sweeping towards Sunagakure Village, blotting out the sky!

Upon seeing this, his face turned pale.

"What is this?!"

There are too many troubles in the world, but for the Grass Country, the center of the war, the whole world seems to be in peace.

Thunder rumbled in the sky, accompanied by torrential rain.

The violent chakra aura eventually affected the weather and environment here, and even those who were very familiar with the Land of Grass would be dumbfounded.

Because the landscape of this area has been completely rewritten!

The once lush forest has now become a desolate ruin.

As if struck by a meteor, the once flat land resembled the surface of the moon, with deep craters that seemed to be silently sobbing.

Deep rift valleys spread out in all directions, and the seepage of groundwater and rainwater falling into the rift valleys formed turbulent water flows.

The water surged forward, eventually revealing a series of enormous waterfalls at the end of the rift valley!

"What is this?"

Kakashi and the other Anbu ninjas looked up into the distance, their minds blank with disbelief.

In their memory, there was a plain in front of them, but now what they saw was a stunning waterfall cascading down!

"That kind of power."

Looking up, it seemed to still be searching for the golden light shimmering in the sky, and the terrifying, thousand-meter-tall giant Buddha.

And then there was that hundred-meter-tall giant, covered in scarlet armor, radiating an aura that sent chills down your spine.

But now, all of these things have vanished, leaving only endless devastation.

"Is everyone alright?"

Kakashi rubbed his chest, which felt stuffy. Although they hadn't been directly attacked, the terrifying power had still affected them.

He felt a tightness in his chest, and it was likely that he had suffered some internal injuries from the shock.

"It's alright, just a bit unwell. Many people were injured, but we didn't suffer any casualties."

Tianzang rubbed his chest, then immediately turned around and looked back before speaking.

However, his gaze remained fixed ahead, as if he had not yet recovered from the earth-shattering scene he had just witnessed.

"Was that the power of Wood Release just now?"

"Shouldn't this question be asked of you?"

Kakashi almost lost his composure when he heard this. "Besides Shusawa, only you know Wood Release. Is it appropriate for you to say that?"

But he soon sighed again, because he knew that Xiuze was really too different from the others!

"Perhaps it's a new force in Xiuzawa, Yugao, do you know that?"

"Sorry, I'm not really sure either."

Yugao also felt a tightness in her chest, but fortunately, she possessed the abilities of a medical ninja and had already begun to recover on her own.

However, she couldn't give a definite answer to Kakashi's question either, since Shuzawa rarely discussed these kinds of things.

"Is that so?"

Kakashi nodded, but he wasn't surprised.

"Never mind, after all, no one can really explain Xiuze's power; he's really..."

However, everyone, I'm afraid our mission cannot stop yet; we still have much more to do.

So please hang in there.

Kakashi was actually considering giving up on the mission. In fact, any ninja in the current situation would probably have the thought of giving up.

However, considering that the one who took action was Hidezawa, it wasn't surprising that he possessed such power, and Kakashi ultimately decided to continue.

Besides, Danzo is far too important; they need to see him alive or dead. How could they possibly give up on him?

"yes!"

Yugao and the others immediately responded loudly, and Kakashi, seeing this, silently withdrew his gaze.

Looking at the ruins, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Hopefully, nothing else goes wrong."

"it's over?"

Amidst the ruins, Xiuze slowly descended from the sky; he wasn't feeling well either.

"As expected, forcing myself to use True Several Thousand Hands is not a good option for me."

Feeling his chakra being depleted, Xiuze couldn't help but complain.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Xiuze can't use this technique now; on the contrary, he basically meets the requirements.

However, the key issue is that his Wood Release level is probably still a bit low, and there is also a gap in his proficiency.

This means that for his "True Several Thousand Hands" to unleash even greater power, he must consume more chakra and energy!

On the contrary, the power of the "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion," which is no less than that of Shuzawa's full-force "True Several Thousand Hands" and has a stronger single-point explosive ability, does not consume as much of his chakra.

However, looking at the scene before him, he couldn't help but sigh that the power of this "map attack" was something his "Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion" could not achieve.

Even if he held back somewhat.

In any case, Nagato is now a partner, so there's no need for Hidezawa to smash Yahiko's body.

Meanwhile, Chiyo and "Hot Pot" were both in the crowd, and Hidezawa had to give Yekura some face.

Besides, if they die, where will Xiuze find money to fleece in the future?

Just like how he still keeps the Akatsuki organization, he needs enough freedom before he can achieve "decathlon".

It's not difficult to send them to their deaths now, but Xiuze won't have any suitable fishponds left, so it's better to keep them alive.

"I'd be better off forcing them to ally with Akatsuki; that would give me even more freedom!"

Xiuze muttered to himself, but looking at the situation before him, he shook his head inwardly.

Even though he held back, the current power is still terrifying enough!

After all, this is the true Several Thousand Hands technique that even Hashirama Senju only used once.

"Xiuze".

Just then, a voice suddenly came over, and light walked towards them.

Moreover, he sensed Konan and Yekura's chakra not far away, and they were also heading this way!

Are you alright?

Xiuze walked over, looked at the light in front of him, and asked in a low voice.

"Do you even know what I'm asking? This is ridiculous! Can your eyes take it?"

"It's alright. I also want to see where my limits are."

Guang appeared calm, but through the mask, Xiuze could still see that her eyes were somewhat blurry.

After all, unleashing such terrifying power all at once is something no one could withstand!

"Also, I protected your people; those guys didn't die. As for the others, they're not on my radar. The damage you caused was too great."

Guang blinked, her tone still nonchalant, but Xiuze looked at her silently for a while before nodding and speaking.

"I understand. Also, I'll find a way to solve your eye problem."

"oh."

Guang nodded, seemingly unconcerned, then asked curiously.

"By the way, Danzo isn't dead yet. It seems like you were taken away by his clone. What exactly do you want?"

Shimura Danzo was the one who tormented Hidezawa back then, and Hikaru remembers Hidezawa saying that he would not let this person go.

But now there seems to be no movement, and she even used her clone to save people, which makes her feel confused.

"Don't worry, he won't survive, and I won't let him go either."

Xiuze smiled and suddenly pointed to Guang's forehead. Even though the mask was in the way, the chakra at his fingertips was instantly transmitted to him.

"I'm not sure how effective it will be, but it should provide some relief. Right now, we're just waiting for some people to arrive."

Before she finished speaking, Konan and Yekura appeared on the ruins not far away.

"Another woman?"

Hikaru pursed his lips, but ultimately said nothing, instead curiously sensing the chakra that Xiuze was transmitting.

The chakra seemed to alleviate the pain in her eyes, but her vision didn't seem to have returned.

"You've arrived?"

Xiuze turned his head and looked over; Xiaonan and Yecang both looked rather grim.

With such terrifying power striking, who knows if anyone will survive!

Although Nagato is far from the battlefield, such a battle will inevitably affect him, while Chiyo and Ebizo are both on the battlefield.

"Don't worry, they're not dead."

When Xiuze saw their expressions, he immediately understood what they were thinking.

"However, the situation is not very optimistic."

Hidezawa had already used his senses to lock onto Onoki and the others, and he discovered that these people were beyond pitiful!

"What happened?!"

Yecang was very anxious and couldn't help but ask, while Xiuze laughed.

"Why don't we go take a look together? They're not far from here anyway."

"Moreover, Konoha is about to have another batch of new guests."

"Cough cough cough, damn it."

On the other side of this ravaged land, Onoki coughed and struggled to his feet.

He was in a terrible state; blood was seeping from his ears, nose, mouth, and even the corners of his eyes. His clothes were tattered, and he had lost his shoe.

And this was only the surface injury; his internal body was in complete chaos, and the extreme impact had caused him immense discomfort!

He looked up and saw the Fourth Raikage holding his Jinchūriki brother not far away.

The Akatsuki member had disappeared, and Chiyo and Ebizo were slumped on the ground, but their chests were still rising and falling, indicating they were not dead yet.

"Looks like we're lucky, we're all still alive."

Onoki gave a bitter laugh, but the laugh made him cough again, while the others couldn't laugh at all.

Even now, their memories still echo with the countless heavy punches that came crashing down on them!

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly came over, which made their already pale faces look even worse.

"You were indeed lucky. After all, you're very fast runners and you have a lot of ways to save your lives. It's just that other people probably don't have your luck."

The voice was very calm. Turning around, they saw Hidezawa leading a Root ninja, along with ninjas from the Land of Rain and the Village of Sand, walking towards them.

"Elder?"

Yekura immediately broke away from Hidezawa and headed towards Chiyo and Ebizo. The two men's eyes lit up when they saw that Hidezawa was so lenient with Yekura.

But their situation is not good right now; they can't even utter a single word.

"you"

Onoki and the Fourth Raikage looked up in astonishment at Hidezawa, who seemed completely unaffected, and their expressions turned extremely grim.

Hidezawa wasn't wrong, but even if he "went easy" on Nagato, it was mainly aimed at the series of summoning beasts that Nagato had created.

And, that unfortunate eight-tailed fox.

After being attacked so much, Killer Bee could barely feel any breath left. His "Flame of Life" was almost like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

If it weren't for the Eight-Tails' remaining chakra keeping him alive, it wouldn't be surprising if he were to report to the Pure Land right now!

But if they don't have some skill and luck, their chances of surviving are actually quite small.

Onoki also desperately poured his chakra into the rock giant's body, causing it to be repeatedly destroyed and reassembled by the True Thousand Hands, which blocked a lot of damage.

The latest novel is first published here!

Nagato's summoning beasts already possess the ability to constantly split, making them ideal meat shields in some ways!

In addition, there are countless puppets belonging to Chiyo, and their own somewhat resilient nature.

Especially Onoki, who survived two meteorites hitting him in Hidezawa's memory. This guy's life is really tough!

"Those meteorites, each one is no less powerful than a true thousand hands, and to survive two of them is something no ordinary person could do."

Xiuze thought to himself, too lazy to pay attention to their angry stares, and said with a smile.

"Gentlemen, you've caused us quite a bit of trouble. You're obstructing our arrest of Shimura Danzo. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"snort"

The Fourth Raikage was unable to move, but his fists were still clenched tightly, his eyes filled with a mixture of anger and fear.

He was brutally beaten by Xiuze last time. Although he was unwilling to accept it, he had to admit that he really couldn't do anything about Wood Release and Flying Thunder God.

With so many people this time, and him giving it his all, he felt the chances were pretty good.

结果

This time it's even worse than the last time, his brother Kirabi is almost dead!

Is this the power of Wood Release?

Is this the legendary power of Hashirama Senju?

Senjujuma

You're a fucking idiot!

"What exactly do you want?!"

Onoki coughed again, his mouth stained with blood, but he wiped it away fiercely and stared straight at Hidezawa.

"Do you want to start a ninja world war?"

"Um"

Xiuze deliberately touched his chin, then asked in confusion.

"Just you guys?"

"Damn bastard, even if you're strong enough, you can't do what Hashirama Senju couldn't do!"

Onoki was completely overwhelmed by Hidezawa's words, and he roared loudly despite the pain.

"I admit you are very strong, almost catching up with Hashirama Senju back in the day, but times have changed."

Once the village is established, everyone already has a place to belong; you can't change that just by using your power!

Whatever you do will only provoke greater resistance; killing more people will be of no use.

Moreover, no matter how strong you are, you can't withstand the backlash from the entire ninja world; otherwise, Hashirama Senju wouldn't have stopped building Konoha!

It was clear that Onoki had truly broken down; his fierce demeanor made even Hidezawa shake his head in disapproval.

Hashirama Senju was clearly an idiot, yet he and the Uchiha clan were able to sweep across the ninja world. How can you use that as an excuse?

Even the Fourth Raikage found his words hard to bear.

"Then it's not up to you to decide. Although it's better to kill them all."

Xiuze sighed, shrugged, and spoke indifferently.

"However, I think Konoha has no interest in your wretched place. You've obstructed our normal operations and caused us such great losses."

I think you villages absolutely need to give us an explanation. As for how to deal with you, that's not my concern.

Upon hearing this, Onoki's eyes, which had been filled with anger, suddenly flickered slightly, and the Fourth Raikage also looked up instantly.

They understood what Xiuze meant, and a secret joy involuntarily welled up inside them.

But when she realized what had happened, a wave of shame, anger, and sorrow washed over her.

What the hell?! How did they become like this?!

"Furthermore, as allies, what you two did today was somewhat inappropriate."

Shuzawa didn't bother to care what the Fourth Raikage and Onoki were thinking. They were just easy targets; once they were ready, they could be harvested again!

Only when the leeks are filled with humiliation and anger can they grow better, and only then can they be harvested more effectively.

Chiyo and Ebizo looked rather grim; they knew they were in serious trouble this time.

However, Xiuze's next words made them breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"If there's anything to discuss, it's better to do what these two Kage did first: visit Konoha as guests and recuperate properly before making any decisions."

We are allies, and we need to be truly sincere with each other. Fortunately, Yekura is sincere enough, so I think Konoha will give you a chance to explain.

"Thank you then."

Chiyo nodded weakly, and Ebizo sighed and nodded in agreement.

Ye Cang, who had been silent all along, couldn't hold back any longer. What exactly does your sincerity mean?

"sincere?"

Xiao Nan raised an eyebrow. Why does this sound the same as "sincerity"?

However, she didn't say anything. After Xiuze gave her a meaningful look, she nodded silently and quietly left.

"Damn it, what's going on?!"

Within Kamui's dimensional space, even though Obito Uchiha was wearing a mask, both Black Zetsu and Itachi Uchiha knew just how terrible his expression was.

"Who exactly is that woman? What's wrong with her eyes? And what's the deal with Shihara Hidezawa?!"

His roar echoed throughout the Divine Might Space, but unfortunately, no one paid him any attention.

Itachi Uchiha's face was now ashen, and he looked utterly miserable.

His body was covered in wounds, and there were many burn marks. He also knew that several of his bones were broken.

That crazy woman attacked him with full force!

Who exactly she is is something Itachi Uchiha desperately wants to know.

Moreover, he was now in extreme grief. He hadn't killed that woman, and what if she later attacked Konoha or his own brother?

The thought of it made him feel like he was going crazy!

"Sigh, that woman is probably not simple. We should avoid her from now on."

Black Zetsu was also terrified. He felt that Indra and Ashura's chakra had collectively gone mad!

Not only did they run away before the other was reincarnated, but they also ended up sticking together after their reincarnation?

What, are you guys planning to do a "Brother (younger brother) smells so good" kind of thing?

If the Uchiha and Senju clans were still around in the past, Black Zetsu wouldn't have been a concern at all; the two clans would inevitably turn against each other and eventually fight.

Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju are a case in point. In addition, his interference caused a rift in their beliefs, which led to the current "grand occasion"!

But now

Holy crap, the Senju have merged into Konoha!

The Uchiha clan was destroyed right before his eyes!

It would be difficult for him to find that woman and try to interfere, not to mention that Shihara Hidezawa's perception is exceptionally strong.

The Uchiha clan's public image has been destroyed; that woman has gone into hiding and infiltrated Root, now living with Shihara Hidezawa.

At the same time, Shihara Hidezawa also took her to avenge the extermination of his clan, so it was probably all in vain for him to do anything!

"Damn it, wiping out the Uchiha clan has caused so much trouble?"

Black Zetsu was actually unwilling for the Uchiha clan to disappear, even though he was confident that Madara Uchiha's generation could succeed.

But what if?

Preserving the seed of life would have given them another chance, but Obito Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, those two idiots, joined forces and wiped out the clan, leaving only one survivor.

While this could narrow down the scope of his search for Indra's reincarnation, it was still too difficult to restore it to a level where he could achieve his goals.

"Two people with cerebral palsy."

Black Zetsu sighed inwardly. He didn't want to talk at all; he had to think of a solution.

"What do you know?"

Black Zetsu didn't want to speak, but Itachi Uchiha wasn't going to let him go; the guy was already frantic.

"Explain yourself!"

"she?"

Seeing the Uchiha Itachi so frantic, Black Zetsu was also furious.

If it weren't for you, you bastard, wiping out the Uchiha clan for the sake of the village and your brother.

Do I really have to be so passive and helpless now?

Even if a large part of the reason for this situation is that Indra and Asura's chakra has gone mad.

But you damn lunatic, have you forgotten who you really are?!

Black Zetsu was originally trying to save his mother, and he had absolutely no goodwill towards someone like Itachi Uchiha.

He snorted coldly, then suddenly laughed.

"She's not someone you can compare to. Her potential might even reach the level of Madara Uchiha!"

"Just like Shihara Hidezawa, he is now slowly catching up, and has even caught up with Senju Hashirama."

"In the future, she will probably reach that point too!"

"You should really think about yourself. You might kill someone else's closest relative, and she might target your brother first."

Black Zetsu's sarcastic words made Itachi Uchiha's already pale face turn even paler!

"Alright, that's enough."

Obito Uchiha didn't know what Black Zetsu meant, but with Itachi Uchiha around, he couldn't very well ask.

He suppressed his doubts and anger, deciding to go back and ask again, while also hoping to see if he could bring this crazy woman to his side.

However, the most urgent thing is to shift our focus.

"Where's Kakuzu? Where did he go? And Danzo, is he dead?"

"Kakuzu runs fast, don't worry."

Black Zetsu didn't even bother to look at Uchiha Itachi. He took a deep breath and spoke.

"As for Danzo, he's probably not far from death."

"What a terrifying power."

On the edge of the ruins of the Land of Grass, Danzo looked at the "grand spectacle" before him, his heart filled with chills.

He couldn't even imagine what would happen if such power were to fall directly on him!

Whether it's Shihara Hidezawa or that seemingly Uchiha woman who's been hiding in Root.

"Shihara Hidezawa has indeed betrayed me, and even Konoha! He's harboring members of the Uchiha clan!"

Once he came to his senses, Danzo immediately started shouting angrily, his eyes gleaming as if he had spotted an opportunity.

"With this secret in hand, Shihara Hidezawa will be unable to escape our control!"

"Lord Danzo, how can I be thinking about this at a time like this? You actually think Konoha can control him, or that you can manipulate him?"

Just then, Orochimaru's voice rang out behind him, its mocking tone making Danzo's face turn ugly.

However, he couldn't bring himself to refute it. If Orochimaru hadn't intervened and taken him away in time, he would probably be nothing but minced meat by now!

"There will always be an opportunity, and I will always find a way to take back everything that belongs to me."

Danzo gritted his teeth and spoke, believing that there was still a chance to escape, even though all his subordinates were dead. He firmly believed that he could make a comeback!

puff-

However, to Danzo's astonishment, at that moment he suddenly felt a sharp pain and looked down to find that a black stick had pierced through his chest!

"you"

Danzo turned around in disbelief, looking at the smiling Orochimaru behind him. In an instant, his face turned pale with anger.

"Orochimaru conspired with snakes; have I been betrayed?"

"When you get old, you really can't do anything anymore."

Orochimaru gently shook his head. This time, he didn't lick his lips, and even the smile on his face changed slightly.

"Or have you already been blinded and confused by what you crave, to the point that you can no longer distinguish between things?"

Gradually, the body of the 'Orochimaru' in front of them began to stiffen, and the color of his body began to change.

Seeing this, Danzo's hair stood on end. As Orochimaru's body slowly turned into a wood-like brown, he finally understood what was going on!

"Shihara Hidezawa! Why?!"

"Why? The reason is very simple."

This time, Xiuze's voice came from behind him, accompanied by a rustling sound of footsteps.

Danzo witnessed an unbelievable scene: Hidetsawa strolled over, accompanied by four other people!

One was that crazy Uchiha woman, one was a young man with glasses, and one was a woman with blue hair.

The last one was completely disheveled, with his upper clothes completely torn off.

A shirtless, blood-soaked, and even visibly collapsed area of ​​an orange-haired monster who was not dead.

Looking at these people, Danzo was momentarily dazed, and suddenly he realized something.

"You two, Yakushi Kabuto, are you the two from the Land of Rain back then? Wait, your name seems to be Yahiko. Weren't you dead?!"

"I'm dead, but I've crawled out of hell specifically to seek revenge on you!"

Nagato was furious, and both Pain and the main body, who was hiding in the distance, stared intently at Danzo.

His murderous gaze made it seem as if he wanted to devour Danzo alive!

"Danzo, did you and Hanzo ever consider such consequences back then?"

Xiao Nan was no longer as cold as before; her face was now filled with extreme hatred.

She clenched her fists tightly, and white paper magic fluttered around her, as if she were about to attack Danzo at any moment!

"Lord Danzo, when you set up this scheme to make me and the Dean kill each other, did you ever foresee all of this happening today?"

Kabuto gently adjusted his glasses. At this moment, there was no anger on his face; instead, his smile became even brighter.

"So, you betrayed Konoha, Shihara Hidezawa!"

Danzo was silent for a moment, then suddenly roared hysterically at Shusawa.

""

"You've committed a heinous crime by associating with members of the Akatsuki!"

Never forget who gave you everything you have, and never forget that you are a Konoha ninja, Shihara Hidezawa!

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Xiuze shook his head gently and sighed softly.

"How strange. I, a member of the Root, am being accused of betraying Konoha by a rogue ninja defined by the Hokage. This is probably the funniest joke I've ever heard."

"you"

Danzo gritted his teeth in resentment, but unfortunately, Hidezawa didn't give him a chance to speak.

"Lord Danzo, you were once the head of Root, didn't you know that everything Root did was for Konoha?"

"You traitor!"

"Traitor isn't defined by you, it's defined by me! Lord Danzo, the Anbu needs evidence to operate, but we Root only need lists. Have you forgotten that?"

Danzo gritted his teeth in fury. Although what Hidezawa said was true, he still couldn't accept it when it happened to him!

"When exactly?"

After a while, Danzo suddenly spoke, taking off his shirt as if to check his wounds, and asked angrily.

"When did you decide to take revenge on me? Why did you do this? And what about Monkey? Was he deceived by you?"

"When? From the moment I joined Root, from the moment you started torturing me."

Hidetsawa looked at Danzo with a smile, not caring what Danzo was going to do.

"As for the Hokage, Danzo, if you think about it carefully, you might discover some suspicious things."

Haven't you ever thought about why you have such a big influence in Sunagakure?

Haven't you ever thought about why you'd be suspected after demonstrating this influence?

"Didn't you ever think about why so many people attacked you when you ran away? Didn't you ever think about why you're now an enemy of the whole world?"

Shuzawa's question made Danzo pause. Recalling everything that had happened, he suddenly realized that something seemed amiss!

He did feel it back then, but at that time he believed that Xiuze was 'loyal'. He never expected that this guy would do so much.

"The reason is simple: your influence in Sunagakure is my doing. The reason you've attracted so much attention from Kumogakure and Iwagakure is because you have me as your subordinate!"

Xiuze didn't hide anything and spoke softly.

"I've said it before, you've been blinded by the lust for power and your mind is in turmoil. When you demonstrate your influence, coupled with everything I've done, the Hokage will naturally become suspicious."

However, he was only suspicious and never intended to fight you. Moreover, I displayed my talent at the right time, and your greed once again created a rift between you and him.

"So, he'll isolate me from information, keeping me from knowing many things and preventing me from having any contact with anyone?"

Danzo's body trembled slightly; he had already received his answer!

"That's right."

Xiuze nodded, a smile on his face.

"Actually, that night, the Hokage only wanted to talk to you and did not intend to take action."

But you've become easily frightened, the gap between you two is too deep, so..."

"You think I fell for your trick just because you pretended to be Orochimaru and deliberately lured me in?!"

Danzo was utterly devastated. He never imagined that he had been plotted against from the very beginning, and that he had been plotted against for so many years!

"Yes, and I also need to thank Lord Danzo."

Xiuze nodded honestly, as always, except this time there was also a fluctuation of chakra in his body.

"I have proposed to the Hokage that Root should only develop external business from now on, and leave all internal affairs to the Anbu."

Given Lord Danzo's influence as an enemy of the world, with so many villages and even the Kage mobilized, I think this will better advance my plan.

"Alright, that's all I have to say. Lord Danzo should get going now. The demigod Hanzo is waiting for you down there."

"Oh, by the way, do you want to activate the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique?"

"Don't be silly, you won't have that chance with me!"

"Including, Izanagi"
