Sasuke decided to use this technique to send his opponent on their final journey.

However, Danzo, having activated the base's last resort, stood motionless as if he had already completed his mission, allowing Sasuke, who was rushing towards him, to pierce his body directly with Chidori.

However, in order to carry out the final step, he still managed to dodge as much as possible, preventing his life from ending instantly.

Danzo began to cough up blood, but he didn't care and just stared coldly at the little devil in front of him.

To possess such terrifying strength at such a young age, given time, he will become the next Uchiha Shisui, Uchiha Itachi, or even surpass them.

And this genius, because of the extermination of his clan, hates Konoha.

Therefore, we absolutely cannot let him live!

Danzo's eyes flashed with a sinister light as he suddenly ripped open his clothes, revealing the Four Symbols Seal etched on his chest.

This is his last trump card!

"Come to hell with me, Uchiha Sasuke!"

While coughing up blood, Danzo activated the Reverse Four Symbols Seal on his body, unleashing the Reverse Four Symbols Seal!

At this moment, Sasuke realized that he was in mortal danger and felt his scalp tingling, as if someone was constantly pricking his head with needles.

"We have to escape, or we'll die!"

After the thought crossed his mind, Sasuke immediately pulled out his arm, but there was no time for him to escape.

Besides, where can we escape to?

When Danzo's Inner Four Symbols Seal erupted, it was as if the last gap in the seal inside the base was filled.

No one could have imagined that Danzo had also carved an even larger Inner Four Symbols Seal within this Root base, and that he himself was the key to its activation!

Thus, with the outbreak of the nested double-layered Four Symbols Seal, the entire Root Base was instantly swallowed up!

In order to drag Sasuke and the others down with him, Danzo was willing to sacrifice everyone still alive in the base.

Perhaps in his view, all these sacrifices were worthwhile.

boom!

A giant sphere appeared in Konoha Village, with the black Four Symbols Seal appearing on its surface.

Its power is roughly ten times that of Danzo's 'self-destruction' in the original story!

At that time, the Human Path of Pain happened to be nearby, preparing to capture the souls of Root members to obtain classified information.

The next moment, it was completely swallowed up by the super-large Inner Four Symbols Seal, leaving not even a trace behind.

It makes one want to shout, "Was this also part of your plan, Danzo?!"

[Chapter 523. Daytime Tiger!]

boom!

"What happened?"

"That's... the location of Root's base?!"

"I didn't expect those guys to actually join the fight. Judging from this commotion, I really underestimated them."

Many Konoha ninjas couldn't help but raise their heads. They were all very dissatisfied with the Root members, but with an external enemy at hand, as long as the Root members were willing to join the battle, they could put aside their past grievances and at most vent their anger.

However, the reality was clearly different from what they thought.

Even Jiraiya, who was struggling to maintain his Sage Mode, couldn't help but look in that direction.

"With such a massive Inner Four Symbols Seal, it seems they've encountered a formidable enemy over there..."

Jiraiya was in a terrible state, covered in blood, and even the two sages on his shoulders, Fukasaku and Shima, were badly injured.

"Honey, the enemy is too strong. It looks like we'll have to fight to the death this time."

"Little Jiraiya, can you hold on?"

Jiraiya wiped the blood from his eyes, trying to catch his breath. "I'm fine. The enemy was troublesome, but after our previous exchange, I've figured out their moves. It's just that I only have one chance. If I miss..."

"Little Jiraiya, go ahead and do it with confidence. With us two old fogies here, we'll definitely be able to buy you time and opportunity."

The two hermits, Fukasaku and Shima, gave Jiraiya a great deal of encouragement and confidence.

At that very moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who should have been retired and living a leisurely life at home, unexpectedly put on his battle suit, wielded his Vajra Staff, and came to Jiraiya's side.

"Sarutobi-sensei? What brings you here?"

"The enemy has already reached our doorstep. Am I supposed to continue lying in my coffin at home? If it's useless, we can talk about it later. You've fought the enemy before. I'll listen to your advice on how to fight next."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was extremely decisive, without any hesitation, as if he were a completely different person compared to his usual self.

Jiraiya had no choice but to swallow the rest of his words. "Alright, let's go!"

With Hiruzen Sarutobi joining the battle, Jiraiya gained more confidence, and the chances of success with the two working together were much greater.

Meanwhile, Pain, who was not far away, was distracted by the loss of contact with the other Pains, or perhaps he simply didn't take Jiraiya and the newly arrived Hiruzen Sarutobi seriously.

. . . . . .

The western district of Konoha.

This place has been destroyed into ruins by Pain's Asura Path, and many corpses are buried beneath the ruins.

Meanwhile, Pain's Asura Path was engaged in a fierce battle with Kakashi Hatake, with Pain's Preta Path and Pain's Hell Path standing nearby.

Their triad formation made them invincible, as evidenced by the numerous Konoha ninja corpses scattered around them.

If Kakashi hadn't risked his life to stop them here, many more people would have died at their hands.

However, with three Pain members attacking him, Kakashi alone was no match for them.

"Sawtooth piercing!"

puff!

A sharp steel saw pierced through Kakashi's body.

Fortunately, it was just a lightning clone of Kakashi.

Taking this opportunity, Kakashi unleashed the Lightning Blade, aiming directly at the back of Pain's Asura Path.

However, at that moment, Pain, the Preta Path, directly blocked the way between the two.

"Sealing Technique Absorption Seal!"

Pain, the Preta Path, opened his arms and absorbed all of Kakashi's Lightning Blade.

Without the power of lightning, the sharp Raikiri could only become an ordinary hand chop. Then, Pain's Preta Path grabbed his arm and slammed him to the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw.

Kakashi coughed up a mouthful of blood and everything went black.

But he immediately rolled away at top speed, and the next second the place where he was was smashed to pieces by Shura Dao's punch.

The Asura Path, with its invincible attack, combined with the Preta Path, which can absorb ninjutsu and chakra at will, is a combination that is a nightmare for enemies.

Not to mention that the Hell Path, capable of resurrecting Pain, was also nearby, providing support.

The Asura Path has once again set its sights on Kakashi...

Is this the end?

Kakashi, who was seriously injured, was swaying precariously.

At the critical moment, a figure appeared beside him and supported him.

Seeing who it was, Kakashi finally breathed a sigh of relief. "If you hadn't come, you would have had to collect my corpse."

Kai smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I ran into a bunch of reckless brats before I came, so I took them to a safe place first, which is why I'm late. Leave the rest of the battle to me, you can rest well over there."

Kakashi knew how strong Guy truly was, so he didn't think Guy was just bravado. However, he still warned him, "Be careful, the enemies are strong. The guy on the left is covered in traps, and they're incredibly powerful. The guy on the right can absorb ninjutsu and chakra, so don't let him catch you. As for the last guy, I don't know what his abilities are yet, but we absolutely cannot underestimate him."

Kai nodded slightly. "I understand. Stay away from me. I'm afraid I might accidentally hurt you next."

Upon hearing this, Kakashi immediately used the Body Flicker Technique to leave.

Shura Path turned his head, his homing missile already ready, clearly indicating that he had no intention of letting Kakashi go.

But before he could unleash his attack, Kai appeared in front of him as if he had teleported, and kicked him away!

"Now your opponent is me, the Blue Beast of Konoha—Might Guy has arrived!"

Kai, full of youthful enthusiasm and a bit of childish eccentricity, struck an attacking pose.

The Asura realm emerged from the ruins and walked back step by step, standing side by side with the Hungry Ghost realm.

Based solely on Kakashi's previous account, Guy had already realized just how formidable the enemy before him truly was.

So he had made up his mind to decide the outcome with one decisive blow!

The current situation no longer allows him to continue hiding his talents.

It's time to awaken the true blue beast.

"No matter who you are, you will all pay the price for your indiscriminate killing of innocent people!"

"Eight Gates Formation... Seventh Gate - Gate of Shock... Open!"

An incredibly powerful and ferocious aura instantly rose from Kai's body. The extremely high body temperature evaporated his sweat, generating a large amount of blue steam around his body, which is the origin of the Azure Beast!

Both the Asura realm and the Hungry Ghost realm seemed to be aware of the danger.

The Preta Path stepped forward and stood in front with its arms outstretched, seemingly preparing to repeat its previous trick. After all, no matter how powerful the ninjutsu was, it could completely absorb it.

Meanwhile, the Asura Path opened its head, preparing to unleash a laser with astonishing destructive power.

But it's too slow!

Kai didn't give them that chance at all.

Kai first compressed the air in front of him, and then threw a powerful punch!

The air cannon is shaped like a white tiger and is extremely powerful. The shockwave it emits is enough to make it difficult for people several kilometers away to stand.

"Daytime Tiger!"
