Naruto: Naruto Hosted by the System

As expected, the Rasenshuriken easily deflected the attack and successfully hit Shimura Danzo.

Having learned from past mistakes, Naruto did not relax. He activated his senses and searched for Danzo Shimura's location.

"Spirit Spell!"

Suddenly, a huge, four-legged creature with a long nose and a reddish-brown body appeared on the battlefield. It was none other than Danzo Shimura's summoning beast, "Baku".

As soon as the Dream Eater landed, it opened its blood-red maw, and the powerful suction even sucked in the collapsed buildings.

"My summoning beast, Baku, can weaken your Wind Release and strengthen mine. Bring on any other techniques you have!"

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Danzo Shimura came up behind Naruto and used the suction of the Baku to enhance his own Wind Release, leaving Naruto vulnerable from both sides.

Naruto stood motionless in the wind, turned to the side, and gathered chakra in his hands towards Baku and Danzo Shimura respectively.

"Sage Art: Fire Release - Rasenshuriken!"

From an attribute perspective, Fire Release is inherently effective against Wind Release. The Baku was also sucking everything in front of it into its mouth, which resulted in it reaping what it sowed, causing the Fire Release Rasenshuriken to explode in its mouth.

Meanwhile, Danzo Shimura, whose ninjutsu was already weaker than Naruto's, was now engulfed by raging flames in an instant after losing Baku's help. When he reappeared, he was already far away from Naruto, clearly having suffered a great loss.

Naruto's gaze fell on Danzo Shimura's closed Sharingan, confirming his suspicions.

"Although I don't know the exact principle, the fact that you always come back to life after I kill you must require the use of your Sharingan, right?"

With his secret exposed, Danzo Shimura's expression turned grim. More importantly, despite expending so many Sharingan, he hadn't managed to inflict any damage on Naruto, and Naruto's chakra was running low.

Faced with such a powerful Naruto, Danzo Shimura suddenly laughed.

"Hehe, Naruto Uzumaki, you are really strong, even stronger than Hiruzen."

"Even if you beg for mercy now, I will not let you go."

"To be honest, I initially intended to kill you, but now that I've witnessed your strength, I wish you could become even stronger."

Naruto frowned upon hearing Danzo Shimura's words.

Does he still have a trump card up his sleeve?

Just in case, Naruto decided not to test Shimura Danzo's trump cards. Instead, he conjured a Rasenshuriken of different attributes in each hand and threw them at Shimura Danzo.

"Why didn't you use the same techniques you used against Orochimaru? Were you afraid of damaging Konoha? Hmph, it's precisely this indecisive nature of yours that led to your defeat!"

Despite enduring the power of two Rasenshuriken, Danzo Shimura closed one of his Sharingan eyes on his right arm, but in return, he closed the distance between himself and Naruto.

"Naruto Uzumaki, use your power for me!"

"Farewell, Gods!"

Danzo Shimura removed the white cloth covering his right eye, revealing a Sharingan that Naruto had never seen before.

Seeing that he had succeeded in one move, Danzo Shimura couldn't help but smile with victory.

Then he saw Naruto in front of him pierce his chest with his golden tail, looking completely bewildered.

[An attempt by an external chakra to take over the host's body has been detected and has now been neutralized by this system.]

"So... your trump card is just glaring at me with that weird Sharingan, and then what? Does it have any special effect?"

Danzo Shimura closed another Sharingan on his right arm, and his figure appeared in the distance, looking at Naruto in disbelief.

"This...this is impossible! This is the ultimate ability of the Mangekyou Sharingan, something that can only be used once every few decades. It's the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami, from that genius Uchiha Shisui!"

Seeing that Shimura Danzo was so distraught that he revealed all the information, Naruto suddenly realized what was going on.

"Oh, so it's an illusion. I forgot to mention, no matter what kind of illusion it is, it's ineffective against me. So you've wasted a chance that only comes once every few decades."

Danzo Shimura was completely stunned.

Immune to any genjutsu? How is that possible? Even if a Jinchuriki can dispel ordinary genjutsu with the help of a Tailed Beast, this is a genjutsu of the Mangekyou Sharingan!

Shimura Danzo was utterly despondent.

If you attack, you can't break through their defenses; if you use illusions, they'll be immune; and if you get hit, you'll have to use up a Sharingan to save your life.

He originally had ten Sharingan eyes on his right arm. How many are left now?

One…two…three…only six left, he can only withstand six more attacks from Naruto.

With six chances, can I successfully escape?

The next moment, Danzo Shimura realized that this was impossible.

Naruto flashed in front of him and instantly appeared, his Wind Release technique transforming into a blade, severing his right arm in one swift motion.

In order to rewrite this fact, Danzo Shimura used up another Sharingan.

You have five chances left.

"Use this little bit of time to quickly give your last words!"

Chapter 49 Shimura Danzo's Life Worse Than Death

"I...I haven't lost yet!"

Suddenly, Danzo Shimura's right hand swelled up and turned into a towering tree.

"Isn't this the First Hokage's Wood Release? It seems you envy the power of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha, which is why you've turned yourself into this inhuman and ghostly state."

"However, the gap between your strength and theirs is like the difference between a sapling and an entire forest!"

After saying that, Naruto no longer held back and summoned four shadow clones to stand in different positions and surround Shimura Danzo.

"Four Purple Flame Formation!"

A rectangular barrier of purple, transparent flames suddenly rose from the ground, trapping Shimura Danzo and Naruto's true form inside.

Shimura Danzo's Wood Release technique continued to grow, but it was burned to ashes the moment it touched the Four Purple Flame Formation, and could no longer advance.

"Indeed, I have no reason to destroy Konoha for the sake of a despicable person like you."

"However, I have plenty of ways to kill you without destroying Konoha!"

A blue-white chakra ball appeared before Danzo Shimura in an instant, filling his entire field of vision.

When Orochimaru invaded Konoha, he hid under the pretext of "preserving the living forces," but he still witnessed the power of this move from afar.

He racked his brains trying to figure out what other way he could escape this calamity, but found that he had no other choice but to use Izanagi by consuming his Sharingan.

"It's okay... I still have five Sharingan eyes... I'll definitely win..."

Even Danzo Shimura himself didn't quite believe what he said.

As expected, the Sage Art: Wind Release: Great Giant Rasenshuriken only made contact with his body before he had to activate Izanagi to save his life.

"It's alright... Izanagi can only last for one minute at a time... It's impossible for his technique to last for five minutes, right?"

A minute passed, and the giant meatball's power remained undiminished.

Two minutes passed, and the giant dumpling still had half its power remaining.

Three minutes passed, and the power of the giant dumpling finally ran out... Then Naruto fired another one.

In despair, Shimura Danzo used up all five of his Izanagi techniques, and the Sharingan on his right arm also closed up.

Without the suppression of the Sharingan, the First Hokage cells in Shimura Danzo's right arm went berserk, turning his entire right hand into a tree.

To save his life, Danzo Shimura had no choice but to cut off his own right arm.

At this moment, he had already revealed all his cards and was in a sorry state.

Wind Release, Wood Release, Izanagi, Kotoamatsukami... none of them worked on Naruto.

"I...I have one last trick up my sleeve!"

"The Inner Four Symbols Seal!"

Black four-symbol pattern immediately appeared on Shimura Danzo's body, and his blood transformed into a sealing medium, spreading in a spherical shape.

"For the sake of the ninja world, for the sake of Konoha... Naruto Uzumaki, you'll come to hell with me!"

Danzo Shimura's face showed a death wish.

However, the next moment, the Four Symbols Seal, which was only half activated, suddenly stopped.

"Playing sealing magic in front of me? Do you know that I've been researching sealing magic these past few days in order to break the Caged Bird Seal?"

Danzo Shimura stared blankly at Naruto, unsure of what expression to make.

"Moreover, you claim to be doing this for Konoha, yet you want to kill me, the Hokage. You're beyond saving!"

After saying this, Naruto was about to kill Shimura Danzo.

"Wait, Naruto!" Jiraiya, who arrived just in time, stopped him.

Jiraiya has now activated Sage Mode, with two toad sages standing on his shoulders. He originally intended to support Naruto, but who knew that this kid would take down all three high-ranking officials by himself without even getting a drop of blood on him.

"Jiraiya-sensei, you can't expect me to let him off the hook, can you?" Naruto frowned.

Jiraiya shook his head: "How could that be? I mean, killing Shimura Danzo like this would be too easy on him. If we're going to do something, we should hand him over to the interrogation department and extract all the information from his brain."

Upon hearing this, Shimura Danzo, who had been completely despondent, suddenly cried out again.

"Everything I've done is for Konoha. Without me acting as the black glove, as the root of Konoha, how could Konoha have achieved its current prosperity!"

"What you are doing now is nothing short of discarding a useful tool after it has served its purpose. Even Hiruzen wouldn't have dared to do this when he was still alive!"

Naruto gave him a cold look upon hearing this.

"You say everything you've done is for Konoha?"

"Then let me ask you, where were you during the Nine-Tailed Night?"

Where were you when Orochimaru destroyed Konoha?

"Where were you when Konoha truly needed protection?!"

Naruto's questions came one after another, like slaps to Danzo Shimura's face.

His face flushed red, and after a long pause, he managed to stammer, "I did it to preserve Konoha's strength..."

"enough!"

Naruto's rebuke shut down Shimura Danzo's remaining excuses.
