One by one, the Sharingan eyes on his arm closed permanently.

Finally, after being pierced through the chest by Sasuke's "Chidori Spear" once again, Danzo became fearful.

He staggered backward and looked down at his arm.

Beneath the bandages, only three eyes remained open.

"hateful......"

Danzo was breathing heavily; he knew he couldn't go on like this.

Next time, we must take care of him!

"It can no longer be kept..."

He made up his mind, "After the next resurrection, I will immediately use Kotoamatsukami on him!"

Just as he thought of this, Uchiha Sasuke across from him let out a low growl.

"Let revenge fill this emptiness!"

He raised the long, black sword that had never been drawn before and called out its true name.

Indra!

"Naruo Burning Flame Flower!"

With his roar, which suppressed his endless rage, a dozen huge black flame pillars suddenly shot up from the ground, intertwining and blooming, like a death flower blooming in the abyss of hell, turning the entire underground passage into a black sea of ​​fire!

"Hmph, incompetent rage." Danzo looked at the sea of ​​fire rushing towards him, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. With a flicker of his figure, he once again used Izanagi to evade.

After being resurrected, Danzo looked at the two remaining Sharingan eyes on his arm, and a resolute look finally flashed in his eyes.

Although it takes a long time to recover after the pupil power is depleted, as long as we can control this brat, everything will be over!

However, the moment this thought arose in his mind...

A jet-black blade, wreathed in silent black flames, once again severed his head without a sound.

It is "Indra".

“It’s over.” Sasuke looked at the head that had rolled to the ground.

"You laughable brat, what makes you think it's over?"

As expected, Danzo's headless corpse once again turned into a phantom.

Not far away, his figure re-emerged.

"This time, it will be your last..." Danzo grinned maliciously, preparing to unleash his strongest illusion.

However, his words came to an abrupt end.

He could no longer sense the stillness in Shi Shui's eyes!

That Mangekyou Sharingan that should have belonged to Uchiha Shisui has now lost all its luster!

"impossible!"

Danzo let out a horrified roar, "How could this be?! I clearly still had..."

His gaze swept over his arm again, and those eyes that should have been open were all closed at some point!

In an instant, he understood.

“Illusion…” He looked at Sasuke in disbelief.

Sasuke slowly sheathed his sword, his crimson Sharingan calmly watching the old man who had fallen into madness, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

He murmured in a confused tone.

"Didn't he just lose his Sharingan? How can he be resurrected?"

Chapter 78 I never considered myself to belong to Konoha

Sasuke looked at Shimura Danzo's frantic and desperate appearance and murmured in a confused tone.

"Wasn't that the last Sharingan? How can it be revived?"

This seemingly naive question completely pierced Danzo's last mental defenses.

Illusion!

I've been living in this kid's illusion from beginning to end!

"you......"

Danzo Shimura's one eye was bloodshot from extreme anger and fear.

He wanted to roar, to curse, but all his words ultimately turned into a hoarse gasp.

Sasuke Uchiha looked at him and began to laugh wildly. The laughter echoed in the deathly silent underground passage, filled with undisguised contempt.

"I'd like to see how many times you can be resurrected."

He slowly raised the "Indra" in his hand, and black flames quietly ignited once again on the dark blade.

Like the scythe of death, it foreshadows the final judgment.

"If you have nine lives, I will kill you nine times; if you have a thousand lives, I will kill you a thousand times!"

The tide is gone.

As Danzo Shimura felt the emptiness in his right arm from the depletion of his eye power, he knew that he had no chance of winning.

But he cannot die so easily.

I absolutely cannot die at the hands of the Uchiha!

A final surge of madness welled up in his heart.

"For the ninja world, for Konoha..."

He roared and ripped open his shirt, revealing his aged and scarred chest.

"You evil Uchiha brat must not be allowed to live!"

With his roar, a sealing spell composed of pitch-black ink marks and an extremely complex pattern suddenly lit up on the skin of his chest!

The spell seemed to possess a life of its own, spreading rapidly like vines and emanating a terrifying aura that devoured everything.

"This is... the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique!"

Kakashi Hatake, who had been vigilantly observing his surroundings, paled the moment he saw the jutsu and cried out in alarm, "Sasuke, get away from Danzo!"

Sasuke's pupils also contracted. He sensed a destructive force within that technique, one that intended to drag everything into nothingness.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Takemikazuchi in his hand was released in an instant!

"Thunderbolt Form!"

He transformed into a streak of black and white lightning, leaving a series of afterimages in his wake, and instantly appeared beside Kakashi, grabbing his arm and pulling him away with him.

“Teacher, it’s my turn now. Just like you risked your life to protect us… but in the end, I still couldn’t become Hokage.”

Watching the two figures disappear at the end of the passage, and feeling the power within his body gathering wildly and about to go out of control, Danzo's face revealed a smile of relief.

His thoughts seemed to travel through time, returning to many years ago.

"Hiruzen, no matter what, I can't catch up with you."

"You are the leaves bathed in sunlight, and I am the roots in the darkness."

He looked down at his hands, stained with blood and sin, his voice filled with an unyielding self-mockery.

How should I view myself as I am...?

The final seal is formed.

"boom--!!!"

There was no violent explosion, only a muffled, extremely loud bang.

Centered on Danzo Shimura's body, a black sphere capable of devouring everything was born with a roar!

The moment the black sphere appeared, it began to shrink inward in an incomprehensible way, generating an irresistible and terrifying suction force.

Air, light, rubble on the walls, pools of blood on the ground...

Everything was swallowed up by that black void, leaving no trace.

As Sasuke and Kakashi rushed out of the underground passage, they felt the ground beneath their feet tremble violently.

He turned around abruptly.

The area they had just left was now visibly collapsing, forming a widening crater.

There was no smoke or dust, and even the previously burning black flames had disappeared, leaving only pure collapse.

It was as if that space, along with everything that existed within it, had been abruptly erased from this world.

After a long while, when the final tremors subsided, the two slowly walked to the edge of the bottomless pit.

Looking down, there was only a bottomless darkness.

The Root, the deepest and darkest base of Konoha, which once occupied this place, along with its master and those secrets stained with sin, were completely buried at this moment.

"it's over......"

Kakashi's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at the empty ruins in front of him, and the boulder that had weighed on his heart for half his life was finally lifted.

But what followed was not the satisfaction of revenge, but an indescribable emptiness.

Sasuke remained silent.

He stood quietly at the edge of the giant pit, letting the breeze ruffle the black hair on his forehead.

He slowly raised his head and looked up at the sun.

Danzo is dead.

But his journey has only just begun.

In the distance, from the direction of the village center, shouts of battle and explosions could still be faintly heard, reminding them that the chaos was far from over.

Kakashi slowly exhaled a breath of stale air, forcibly suppressing the emptiness in his heart.
