Naruto: I've already fought against all five Kage, and the system only just arrived.

Looking at Danzo's retreating figure, which resembled that of a dog, Hagoromo Gengetsu shook his head.

I've grown old, and I no longer have the daring and fighting spirit I had when I was young.

Even the so-called ideal of "supporting the great tree of Konoha in the darkness" has gradually been corrupted by power.

When Konoha is in trouble, remain as immovable as a mountain.

This perfectly illustrates the current practices of the Root School under Danzo's leadership.

Of course, these things are none of my business.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue's purpose in coming here was simply to avenge a "rebellious" but principled member of her clan.

Now, only one person is left.

With a flick of his toe, a kunai landed in Yu Yixuanyue's palm.

He looked in the direction where Shimura Danzo had fled, and though he seemed to be walking slowly, the distance between them was actually closing rapidly.

Hu~hu~hu~

Danzo Shimura was panting heavily.

Since the battle in the Land of Rain more than ten years ago, when he was severely taught a lesson by Nagato who had unleashed his full power, he has been secretly plotting for the past few years. He has rarely shown his face and has not experienced the taste of battle, or more precisely, escape or even death, for a long time.

At this moment, it felt as if I had returned to the day when I was being chased by the elite Cloud Ninja forces led by Kinkaku and Ginkaku.

This time, however, neither Hiruzen Sarutobi nor the actual Second Hokage remained to cover the retreat.

Danzo Shimura, who spent countless days and nights regretting that he was a step too slow that day and ultimately fell just short of becoming Hokage, would have a completely different meaning if he could go back in time and say those words earlier.

Turning his head every now and then, looking anxiously at the monstrous Yui Gengetsu behind him, Shimura Danzo's breathing grew heavier and heavier.

As the two drew closer, a ruthless glint flashed across his face, and he formed a hand seal, saying:

"burst!"

Boom!

Behind me, a violent explosion rang out.

As a secret organization, the Root base is not only guarded by ninjas, but also equipped with various traps and mechanisms.

While Danzo Shimura's escape appeared frantic and reckless, he was actually deliberately passing through various mechanisms and secret rooms.

As the master of the roots, he holds the power to activate these traps.

boom! boom! boom!

One trap after another was activated.

The massive root base trembled violently amidst the continuous explosions.

The commotion was so great that many Konoha ninja in the village had already noticed it.

"That's the direction of the root base."

Kakashi, who was looking at the Icha Icha Paradise, turned around and looked in the direction of the explosion.

Having had experience with the roots, he quickly recognized him.

"What's wrong, Kakashi?" Might Guy asked from the side, who was thinking about having another match with his best friend Kakashi.

Something's happened. Hopefully it's nothing serious.

Kakashi put down Icha Icha Paradise, frowned, and quickly led Guy towards the Hokage Building.

Not only Kakashi, but also some other Konoha ninjas who sensed something was wrong at that moment reported it.

Not long after receiving orders from the Konoha leadership, a large number of Konoha ninja rushed towards the Root headquarters.

Danzo Shimura's actions successfully drew the village's attention.

If he could hold on a little longer, the Konoha reinforcements he was hoping for would arrive.

But the problem at hand is that the numerous traps he had placed his hopes on, which he had hoped would slow down Yu Yi Xuan Yue, have had little effect.

At most, it would only cause some damage to the clothes worn by Yu Yixuanyue.

As for the other party, nothing happened to them.

Soon, amidst Shimura Danzo's unwilling roar, Hagoromo Gengetsu caught up and quickly extinguished his fighting spirit in a few moves, stabbing the fleeing former through the heart.

As before, Danzo Shimura's body, whose Sharingan hadn't been fully used up, disappeared again.

When he reappeared, he deliberately kept his distance and ran towards the base exit without looking back.

What followed was rather dull.

Hagoromo Gengetsu catches up with Shimura Danzo and kills him. Shimura Danzo reappears, and Hagoromo Gengetsu catches up with him again.

This process is repeated several times.

Having finally broken out of the Root base and looking at the blazing sunlight overhead, Danzo Shimura, who had long been immersed in darkness and accustomed to it, was inexplicably moved.

Until a familiar voice sounded behind him.

"After this, you'll only have one Sharingan left."

The words fell.

Yui Gengetsu appeared behind Shimura Danzo.

It was the same kunai that he used to plunge into his heart with practiced ease.

Danzo Shimura shuddered, and with his last bit of strength, he looked at his right arm.

On the pale arm, the Sharingan eyes that had once looked so ferocious and terrifying were now closed.

Now, only the two Sharingan eyes remain open.

No, one of them has already slowly closed its eyes.

Danzo Shimura fell silent.

In the instant before his death, he glanced in the direction of Konoha with a complicated expression, and then his entire body disappeared again.

It's the same as before.

When Shimura Danzo reappeared, he had no courage to look back and continued to flee in a disheveled state.

But he was just too old.

"The last time."

Yu Yi Xuan Yue, who reappeared behind him, was speaking and preparing to make a move.

To his surprise, Danzo Shimura suddenly turned around.

As you can see, the panic and fear on the other person's face have disappeared.

Instead, there was a resolute, cold, and intense killing intent!

Pfft!

Danzo Shimura lunged forward, offering his chest to the kunai that Hagoromo Gengetsu had just raised.

Then, he gripped the arm of Yu Yixuan Yue, who was holding the kunai, tightly with both hands, and said with a mixture of calm and madness:

"Hagoromo Gengetsu! You great enemy of Konoha! I will risk my life to drag you down with me to the underworld!"

"The Inner Four Symbols Seal!"

A chilling spray of black blood erupted from every part of Danzo Shimura's body.

After discovering that he only had one Sharingan left, Shimura Danzo regained his senses and realized that his chances of escaping from Hagoromo Gengetsu were zero. At this last moment, he finally rekindled the edge of the Dark Ninja.

By using the existence of his last Sharingan to lower Hagoromo Gengetsu's guard, Shimura Danzo, who seemed to continue his escape but had in fact completely severed his last chance to revive, used himself as bait.

As Yu Yi Xuan Yue habitually approached and made her move, he turned around and tightly gripped her body, decisively using the self-destructive Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique.

Just like Hiruzen when he used the Reaper Death Seal.

"Hiruzen! This time, I, like you, will truly act as bait, risking my life to take down this powerful enemy! Konoha!"

As he lay dying, Danzo Shimura subconsciously thought of his old friend.

But before he could say anything more to himself...

Sudden.

A powerful force ripped his arms away.

Danzo Shimura quickly looked over and saw that Yui Gengetsu in front of him had easily broken free from his restraints. As the black blood from the Reverse Four Symbols Seal splashed towards him, Yui Gengetsu retreated rapidly like a gust of wind, without the black blood touching him at all.

"No!!!" Shimura Danzo's face was full of resentment.

Yu Yi Xuan Yue commented indifferently:

"The idea of ​​a final, desperate strike is excellent."

"But it's useless."

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 96: Killed people, raided the base, of course I'll get loot!

Danzo Shimura is nearly 70 years old.

With his limited strength, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't restrain himself in the slightest.

As for the Four Symbols Seal in the inner realm.

Although the released black blood was indeed terrifying, the full power was revealed gradually.

During this period, given his swift escape speed, no matter how much the black blood spreads, it cannot keep up with his pace.

Furthermore, Hagoromo Gengetsu had anticipated Shimura Danzo's final, mutually destructive move.

Danzo Shimura was mistaken in thinking he could be careless and complacent.

"ended."

Looking at everything before her, Yu Yi Xuan Yue calmly announced.

Fortunately, he had already extracted Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan from Shimura Danzo's eyes. It would have been a great pity if he had followed him to the underworld at this moment.
