Why is my anime art style so weird?

When the Nine-Tailed Fox was sealed away, Danzo Shimura disappeared without a trace. Now, at this crucial moment, he's suddenly reappeared. I really don't know what he's up to.

"Is he not dead?"

Xu Ming was taken aback.

"I'm not too sure either. All I know is that he didn't participate in the battle to seal the Nine-Tails back then."

When Shimura Danzo was mentioned, Jiraiya's face showed an undisguised contempt. In his view, Shimura Danzo's behavior was tantamount to desertion.

Xu Ming carefully recalled the details of his encounter with Shimura Danzo.

Xu Ming quickly remembered that Shimura Danzo seemed to exude a strange aura, like that of a living person and a dead person at the same time.

"Could this guy have also transformed himself into a 'semi-monster' state through some kind of ritual?"

Xu Ming subconsciously looked at the expert beside him, Professor Kato.

Kato Megumi nodded and then shook her head.

"That old man's situation was somewhat special; he seemed to have forcibly fused a part of the 'strange' flesh with his own body."

However, this fusion was not perfect. The 'strange' flesh reacted negatively to his own body; he was still human, but some non-human characteristics had appeared on his body.

Once Kato Megumi explained it this way, Xu Ming immediately understood.

Simply put, Erina is a typical example of a perfect transformation, while Danzo Shimura is a defective product made by not following the operating procedures.

Wait a minute, if Shimura Danzo is still considered human, he would have been around sixty or seventy years old back then, and by now he would probably be over a hundred years old.

Look at the pot on the King of Pots' back, doesn't it look like a turtle's shell...?

After understanding the general situation, Xu Ming immediately expressed his opinion.

"In short, we don't have much time left."

That's right!

Whatever Shimura Danzo wants to do, we cannot afford to delay!

"In that case, let's get going."

So, the group settled the seriously injured Kakashi in the Hokage Building, and then, wounded and exhausted, continued their journey toward the central altar beneath the Hokage Rock.

To increase his chances of winning, Xu Ming had to spend money to make all his items cool down quickly.

The Hokage Rock is not far behind the Hokage Building, only a ten-minute walk away.

Led by Jiraiya, the group quickly arrived at the Hokage Rock.

Xu Ming looked up at the several huge human head reliefs, his expression somewhat strange.

It is said that the original author referenced Mount Rushmore in the United States when creating this thing.

The problem is, the United States has a population of hundreds of millions, so it's understandable that they would build a Mount Rushmore. But Konoha Village has a population of at most a few hundred thousand, which is the size of a small county town. Why would they want to do this kind of formalism?

Isn't this a bit like parroting something, neither fish nor fowl?

A terrifying aura emanated from the huge cave beneath the Fire Shadow Rock, causing Xu Ming to completely abandon any distracting thoughts.

A fiery red demonic aura, visible to the naked eye, emanated from the cave, making it clear that even an ordinary person could sense the anomaly.

The group did not linger at the entrance and went straight into the cave.

Torches burned on both sides, their flickering flames causing the shadows behind the group to sway constantly, like a chaotic dance of demons.

After walking for about five minutes, the group reached the deepest part of the cave.

A prison door covered with yellow talismans appeared before them.

"Hehe~ You've finally arrived? I've kept you waiting."

The bald-headed Shimura Danzo, leaning on a cane, stood in front of the prison gate, watching the crowd.

The firelight illuminated only half of his face, leaving the other half shrouded in shadow, making him appear exceptionally eerie with his unique yin-yang face.

The silent Itachi Uchiha stood not far from him, calmly observing the crowd.

"Shimura Danzo, what exactly are you trying to do?"

Jiraiya immediately stepped forward and questioned him.

Danzo Shimura gave a cold laugh, his eyes full of disdain.

"Jiraiya, you're still as foolish as ever."

Times have changed, and to rebuild Konoha, some extraordinary measures must be taken.

Once I control the Nine-Tailed Fox, I will be qualified to speak with the Japanese government.

With the support of the Japanese government, restoring Konoha Village would be incredibly simple.

"you……!"

Jiraiya was immediately dumbfounded.

He never imagined that Shimura Danzo would have such ambitions, actually wanting to use the Nine-Tailed Fox to threaten the Japanese government.

This guy has gone mad...

Jiraiya felt a chill creep down his spine.

Even a normal person would feel a sense of fear upon seeing a madman.

Because you never know what a madman will do next.

"You're insane! Konoha has been destroyed. We are all dead now. Even if Konoha is rebuilt, it will never be the same Konoha it used to be."

You actually want to anger the Japanese government?!

Aren't you afraid that we won't even be able to protect the last piece of pure land?

Jiraiya rebuked him sternly.

The contempt on Shimura Danzo's face deepened.

"I'm starting to doubt whether you're actually Hiruzen Sarutobi's disciple."

Jiraiya's expression immediately changed.

"What do you mean?!"

Danzo Shimura curled his lip.

"Isn't Sarutobi always talking about the Will of Fire being eternal?"

As long as one identifies with the Will of Fire of Konoha and passes it on, can't one say that one is a member of Konoha Village?

Or do you actually agree with the Uchiha and Hyuga clans' philosophy of judging people by bloodline?

Shimura Danzo's words left Jiraiya speechless.

What struck him as even stranger was that he was refuted by someone who disagreed with his teacher's philosophy, using the teacher's philosophy as a basis.

"In short, releasing the Nine-Tailed Fox will cause huge casualties!"

Sarutobi-sensei would absolutely not want to see that kind of scene.

Jiraiya appeared tough, but was actually somewhat guilty as he spoke.

Danzo Shimura gave a disdainful smile.

"You really don't understand Hiruzen Sarutobi quite well."

Why do you think he was called "Renxiong" when he was young?

Why do you think I would willingly let him take the position of Hokage?

His ruthlessness and skill are no less than those of the second-generation rich.

As Shimura Danzo spoke, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Forget it, there's no point in saying more. In the end, it all comes down to strength. After all, history is always written by the victors."

As soon as Danzo Shimura finished speaking, the atmosphere became tense.

Suddenly, Danzo Shimura raised his right arm.

Without him forming any hand seals, his right arm swiftly transformed into a thick tree root that swept towards the crowd.

Chapter 465 Backstab

Just then, a soft sound came from inside the cave.

Click!

The sound wasn't loud, but at that moment it exploded in the cave like a bolt of lightning.

A purple-gold light instantly enveloped the entire cave.

It turns out that when Jiraiya and Shimura Danzo were exchanging words, Xu Ming had already secretly turned on his phone, pressed and held the shutter button, and put the phone into charging mode in advance.

The two had just finished talking when Xu Ming immediately pointed the camera at Shimura Danzo and released the shutter button...

Shimura Danzo never expected that he, who had spent his life ambushing, ambushing, and assassinating, and was practically a master of betrayal, would be outmaneuvered by a junior.

"what!"

The burning sensation that reached his very soul, coupled with the humiliation of being outmaneuvered by a junior, caused Danzo Shimura to scream out.

"You brat! I'm going to kill you!"

Danzo Shimura roared.

However, faced with the exorcism beam that was four times stronger, he could only rage helplessly.

His right arm, which had transformed into a tree root, was instantly burned to ashes along with his right arm.

Danzo Shimura's eyes were bloodshot.

His right arm not only incorporated Hashirama Senju's cells, but also transplanted a large number of Sharingan eyes.

It can be said that his right arm was not only his life-saving weapon, but also the repository of most of his strength.

But that wasn't all; the exorcising light then purified his right eye.

His right eye is also a deadly weapon; it is a special transplanted Sharingan that can release the permanent hypnotic technique 'Kotoamatsukami', which can directly change a person's will.

But now, it's all ruined!
