It's better to be a rebel ninja than to be a Hokage

With the aiming of the Mangekyō Sharingan, the giant purple arrow shot out from the hand of Susanoo controlled by Sasuke accurately hit Danzo Shimura's body.

With just one arrow, Danzo was pierced through the chest by the arrow condensed by chakra and was nailed to death in front of Sasuke.

However, Sasuke did not relax because of Danzo's death.

This is because Sasuke has experienced Danzo's death five times in a short period of time.

However, Danzo would "come back to life" in front of Sasuke every time!

Sasuke, who killed Danzo five times, knows best that the "resurrection" of Danzo is not a trick.

It's not a clone jutsu, not a substitute jutsu, not an instant body movement jutsu... nor is it a space-time ninjutsu or an illusion jutsu.

Under the gaze of the Uchiha clan's powerful eyes called the Mangekyō Sharingan, no ninjutsu in the world can escape the fate of being discovered.

Sasuke could assert without hesitation that Danzo Shimura, whom he killed time and time again, was the real Danzo.

But every time he killed Danzo Shimura, he was able to be completely resurrected somewhere else immediately.

Even surpassing the "Impure World Reincarnation" that could only allow the soul to survive in the world, Danzo was able to resurrect both the soul and the body at the same time!

According to Sasuke's previous experience, Danzo will be resurrected again after his fifth death.

As expected, the body of Danzo who died for the fifth time seemed to have never existed—

——In the next moment, the resurrected Danzo used a powerful wind jutsu to attack Sasuke!

Wind Style: Vacuum Great Ball!

A highly compressed wind ball spurted out from Danzo's mouth and directly hit the Susanoo that was protecting Sasuke.

The two collided, and although the Vacuum Ball failed to break Susanoo's defense, its powerful impact still caused Sasuke to stagger back a step.

Even so, Sasuke still had a fleeting moment of distraction in order to stabilize his body.

For a powerful ninja, such a gap is extremely fatal, and the enemy can decisively use it to turn the tide of the battle and win the final victory.

Sasuke naturally understood this truth. His Sharingan was closely watching Danzo's movements. Once Danzo seized the opportunity at this moment, all his previous advantages would be wiped out and become meaningless.

However, Sasuke was surprised to find that after Danzo performed the Vacuum Ball, he stopped where he was and watched Sasuke waste the time when his concentration was distracted.

Shimura Danzo, what on earth is he thinking——?

However, even though the Mangekyō Sharingan can detect the most subtle chakra flows in the world, it is not yet powerful enough to detect people's hearts.

Thoughts are always the most secretive existence in this world. Only Danzo himself knows why he gave up the opportunity to turn the tide of the battle.

"This shouldn't be your last life, right? Don't you still have five Sharingans open on your right hand?"

But words can always capture a thought in a person's mind. Sasuke did not continue with the compact attack, but just maintained the concreteness of Susanoo and confronted Danzo.

Precisely because he didn't know Danzo's thoughts, Sasuke wanted to influence Danzo's next decision by actively revealing that he had seen through the principle of Danzo's "resurrection".

Danzo was not surprised that Sasuke discovered and deduced part of the secret of "Izanagi".

Ninjas are people who fight for their lives while analyzing intelligence. Only those who can do this can be truly called ninjas.

However, knowing ninjutsu information and using information to counter ninjutsu are two different talents.

There are many ninjas who possess both of these talents, but not many who can use them to their full potential.

In Danzo's long life of more than seventy years, such rare geniuses can be counted on one's fingers.

Danzo Shimura did not respond to Sasuke's words.

He just narrowed his left eye and looked at Sasuke who was emitting a large amount of chakra.

As the battle between him and Sasuke became more and more intense, the chakra that was wrapped around Sasuke's body became materialized, and it was no longer the incomplete purple skeleton with only half a rib at the beginning.

Instead, it appears as a half-body with muscles and armor.

According to Danzo's calculations, Sasuke's time opening the Mangekyō Sharingan should not have been long, but he did not expect that he could master the power of Susanoo so quickly!

This was indeed somewhat beyond Danzo's expectations.

However, after Izanagi consumed five of his Sharingan, Danzo also judged the limits of the use of the Susanoo that Sasuke now possessed.

From the initial skeleton to the half-body Susanoo in armor that appears around Sasuke - this is the limit of the Susanoo that Sasuke can use.

Danzo, who also possesses the Sharingan, knows very well that Sasuke's use of Amaterasu and maintenance of the Mangekyō Sharingan also consumes a large amount of chakra.

Sasuke, who had killed him five times, now has a very delicate amount of chakra.

He was still able to fight, but he couldn't maintain the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan for long!

Sasuke's current situation is just like the arrows shot by his Susanoo, both of which are at the end of their strength.

But Danzo himself also consumed a lot of chakra due to the continuous use of Izanagi.

But generally speaking, in his fight with Sasuke, Danzo, who used taijutsu as his primary means, retained more chakra than Sasuke, who used his Mangekyō Sharingan aggressively in order to gain information about Danzo's abilities.

If possible, Danzo would like to change the rhythm of the upcoming battle from a fierce fight to a relatively slow and protracted war.

The ten Sharingans in his right hand, into which the cells of the first Hokage were transplanted, had been consumed by half because he used "Izanagi" to rewrite the reality of his own death.

There are now five open Sharingan left, which means that Danzo can still use "Izanagi" five times - no, if you count Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan transplanted in his right eye, Danzo can now use Izanagi six times.

It would be more advantageous for Danzo to get into a protracted war.

But it would be a waste to use this only Mangekyō Sharingan as a consumable for "Izanagi".

Let the remaining five eyes decide the outcome.

But first we need to find a way to test the pupil ability of Uchiha Sasuke's right eye.

The ability of one of his Mangekyō Sharingan is "Amaterasu", the same as Uchiha Itachi's. If Sasuke, who is Itachi's brother, also masters "Tsukuyomi", the subsequent battle will become a little troublesome.

"Uchiha Sasuke, according to the information I know, the reason you originally defected from Konoha and followed Orochimaru was to avenge Uchiha Itachi - you even thought about bringing Uzumaki Naruto back to Konoha after successfully avenging Itachi. Why do you choose to help Uzumaki Naruto attack Konoha now?"

Danzo formed the Mao, Hai and Wei seals with his hands, and suddenly asked Sasuke a question.

Danzo's question, which he asked despite knowing the answer, naturally angered Sasuke.

"You showed me your right hand full of Uchiha's eyes - and you still have the nerve to say such things!"

Sasuke's excited emotions were reflected on the Susanoo that was protecting him. The originally calm Susanoo also became ferocious in Sasuke's anger.

"I thought a man like Itachi would never tell you everything until he died."

Sasuke's reaction made Danzo understand the reason for his anger, but Danzo not only did not understand but rebuked Sasuke's nonsense: "All the faults were instigated by the Uchiha who intended to rebel against Konoha, so it is natural that Itachi, as an Uchiha, should put an end to it."

"Itachi, who has witnessed war, is different from a brat like you. He understands the pain of war and therefore cherishes the existence of peace more than anyone else. Once Uchiha and Konoha start a civil war, the other four great nations will tear Konoha apart like hyenas smelling carrion. The rare peace after the Third Ninja World War will be broken, and a new war will once again sweep across the entire Ninja World."

"It's better to say that it was Itachi's atonement to personally kill those Uchiha clans who trampled on peace, led by your father, the current head of the Uchiha clan. He sacrificed the Uchiha clan before everything was irreversible in exchange for peace. But a guy like you can't understand Itachi's intentions... It seems that his long-term spy career has made him lose his original intention, and finally he has become a true traitor. I still overestimated him. In the end, Itachi is just like this-"

Danzo had not yet finished blaming Uchiha Itachi for irresponsibly telling Sasuke the whole truth.

The black flames burned Danzo's body.

The source of the black flame comes from the "Amaterasu" in Sasuke's left eye of the Mangekyō Sharingan!

"The major disguised his own abominable desires with the word 'peace'!"

"You are the only one who has no right to make any judgment about Itachi!"

The black flames instantly spread all over Danzo's body, and once the inextinguishable black flames touched the target, they would not stop until it was completely burned to ashes.

But if the fact that I was burned by Amaterasu was just a dream——

——Can the black flames in the dream burn into reality?

the answer is negative.

"That's why I said you were an immature brat. You took it for granted that you were enjoying the peace that Konoha had brought you, but you didn't think about the sacrifices in the dark under the sun! When the result was slightly different from your expectations, you began to vent your emotions in a self-righteous manner! You regarded yourself as an 'Avenger' and poured your anger on everyone you saw!"

Danzo put his hands together, and the three-magatama Sharingan on his right hand increased from five to six.

He used up another Sharingan to cast Izanagi!

The "roots" deep underground provide nutrients for the trees that grow straight and lush green leaves basking in the sun!

"Stop talking nonsense! Just pay with your life!"

Susanoo responded to Sasuke's roar by stretching out both hands, and the purple chakra arrow was once again placed on the bow. Sasuke closed his left eye, which was bleeding profusely due to the frequent use of Amaterasu, and aimed his right eye at Danzo's figure.

Angry arrows shot out!

Psychic art!

The powerful chakra arrow shattered Danzo's body.

At the same time, rare and exotic beasts such as bears, elephants, tigers, and wild boars appeared in the battle between Sasuke and Danzo.

Nightmare tapir!

It is a legendary beast that has a contract with Danzo and is also skilled in using wind escape and can devour all the dreams in the world.

The nightmare tapir opened its mouth, and powerful wind came out of its mouth, absorbing everything in front of it. Nothing could escape the fate of being swallowed by it.

Even Sasuke's Susanoo can be swallowed by the Nightmare Tapir!

"If this happens, you won't be able to use Susanoo anymore."

The resurrected Danzo appeared behind Sasuke again. The suction caused by the powerful wind escape of the Nightmare Tapir restricted Susanoo and he could no longer be a help to Sasuke.

Danzo once again formed the Wind Style Ninja Seal!

The previous vacuum ball had already allowed him to figure out the degree of defensive power of the Susanoo performed by Sasuke.

Then we just need to increase the attack power of wind escape to a level that exceeds the defense power of Susanoo.

Susanoo, which is supposed to be able to perform both offense and defense, is now not only unable to attack, but can no longer effectively protect Sasuke!

The chakra that had completed the transformation into wind attribute was condensed in Danzo's mouth. Danzo puffed his mouth and continuously spit out several sharp wind blades!

Immediate results!

The armor, bones and flesh on the back of Susanoo were all cut by the wind blade, leaving Sasuke's body defenselessly exposed to Danzo's sight!
