One Dragon Tail Kick will shatter your Susanoo dream!

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi's shocked eyes, a thin wooden splinter pierced his shoulder, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

Danzo, you!

Danzo Shimura's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"You forced me to do this. I never intended to expose this power!"

"This is the power of the God of Shinobi!"

"Wood Release!!!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a numbing sensation throughout his body, and soon his body went limp. He also lost a lot of blood due to the wooden splinter, and his eyelids became heavy.

"Hey, Sarutobi, wake up!"

The Ruyi Jingu Bang transformed into the true form of the Monkey King, assuming a stance to block Hiruzen Sarutobi. However, having lost Hiruzen Sarutobi's chakra to sustain it, it was forced to dissipate into a cloud of white mist.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was half-asleep, Danzo Shimura hesitated for a moment, then regained his resolve and said softly.

"Hiruzen, you forced me to this!"

"Kill you, then gather the Root elites to deal with Jiraiya. The Hokage position must be mine!"

Danzo Shimura pulled the wooden spike out of Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, then took out a kunai from his lower back.

"To die by ninjutsu as a ninjutsu professor is a disgrace. I'll end you with a kunai!"

Suddenly, Shimura Danzo froze in place as he thrust a kunai into Sarutobi Hiruzen's chest. A bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and in the shadows, a black line connected his body.

"Shadow Imitation Technique..."

"Nara Shikaku, get out here!"

Nara Shikaku, with two scars on his face and a resolute expression, emerged from the dense forest.

"The crime of murdering the Hokage is no small matter, Elder Danzo, please reconsider!"

When Shimura Danzo saw that the other party had voluntarily released the Shadow Imitation Technique, he was overjoyed and was just about to launch a Wood Release sneak attack when he heard two more mocking voices in his ears.

"Shikaku, be careful! Elder Danzo isn't so honest!"

"Yeah, do you think an honest person could fit so many Sharingan eyes on their body?"

Wearing a green vest, Yamanaka Inoichi also appeared from the other side. While he was attracting Danzo's attention, a large hand reached out and pulled the unconscious Sarutobi Hiruzen into the forest.

Then, Akimichi Choza, with red hair and carrying a specially made iron rod, appeared from the forest.

"The Hokage is in hiding. Let's meet Lord Danzo!"

A fighting spirit rose in the hearts of the three at the same time. After all, they had never forgotten what happened to their clan in the village, when a large number of young clansmen were dug up and buried in the roots!

Choza Akimichi stood in front of the crowd, confidently raising his iron rod.

"Up!"

Akimichi Choza stepped forward with his staff, repeatedly striking Shimura Danzo with the iron rod to distract him, while Nara Shikaku formed hand seals and harassed him with his shadow in the forest!

Meanwhile, Yamanaka Inoichi was closing his eyes, sensing Shimura Danzo's movements, constantly reminding Akimichi Choza to dodge the invisible wind-style ninjutsu, and at the same time using a secret technique to allow the three of them to communicate telepathically without revealing information!

The four fought fiercely, their battleground covered by a large number of trees created using Wood Release techniques. Grotesque wooden spikes were constantly being shot out, sweeping towards the three of them. Meanwhile, Shimura Danzo could hide among the trees he created, concealing his figure and continuously generating more wooden spikes to shoot at the group.

The Hashirama cell enhancer given to him by Kusajima not only improved Danzo Shimura's control over Wood Release to a new level, but also enhanced his abilities!

Soon, Akimichi Choza, who was acting as the front-line meat shield, was covered in wounds and had lost a lot of blood. He was even a little unsteady on his feet and couldn't help but think to himself, "What is this?"

"What about Haiyi and Shijiu?!"

Nara Shikaku looked helpless and complained bitterly.

"Danzo is too cautious. He's been hiding in the trees he created. Inoichi, use your secret technique to distract him and create an opportunity for me!"

"The moment the Shadow Imitation Technique takes control, the rest is up to you, Ding Zai!"

"it is good!"

"understand!"

The three exchanged a knowing glance, and then Nara Shikaku lightly stepped on his foot, sending out a black line that lingered and weaved through the trees. Soon, with Yamanaka Inoichi's reminder, it approached the hidden Shimura Danzo.

The other party realized the intention and immediately darted out from a large tree. After landing, he was about to hide when his body suddenly stiffened.

Yamanaka Inoichi, whose face turned deathly pale in an instant, disregarded the possibility of being exposed and immediately severed the mental connection, speaking anxiously.

"Quick, his willpower is terrifying!"

Akimichi Choza plunged the iron rod into the ground, a determined glint in his eyes. He then crushed the sleeping pills he had been holding between his teeth beforehand, and immediately leaped into the air.

"Super Human Bomber Tank!"

Suddenly increasing in size, it spun and charged toward Shimura Danzo, who was frozen in place. In addition, having taken a yellow secret medicine that was stronger than the blue pill, Akimichi Choza's strength was directly increased to several times that of his usual level. He was very confident that this move would defeat his opponent!

After crushing the small forest formed by the Wood Release technique several times, Akimichi Choza, now restored to its original state, was supported by Yamanaka Inoichi and leaned weakly against a boulder.

"It should be resolved by now, I'm exhausted!"

Yamanaka Inoichi's smiling face suddenly turned extremely serious.

"Damn it, this force! Run!"

Before he could react, countless thin, long spears shot out, covering the area where the three could escape!

When Nara Shikaku and Yamanaka Inoichi saw the tree spears falling like a torrential rain, a hint of despair flashed in their eyes. The tree spears covered a wide area and were highly lethal. It would be difficult for the two of them to block them all, not to mention that there was also Akimichi Choza, who was basically at zero combat power after using the secret medicine!

A resolute glint flashed in Yamanaka Ino's eyes as he prepared to use his body as a human shield to try and block some of the tree spears for his companions, but he was suddenly pulled away.

"With your small frame, how much can you possibly block!"

Nara Shikaku, who was in a daze, also had his pupils dilate. He saw the tall Akimichi Choza open his mouth, revealing a trace of red between his teeth.

"Inoichi, please take care of that idiot Shikaku for me. Although he's the most composed and level-headed of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, he's also prone to acting impulsively. Let's run away..."

"The art of super doubling!"

The towering giant blocked the tree spear that seemed to topple the sky, its body instantly pierced by the spear, but the opponent paid no attention, and butterfly wings extended from its back.

With a resolute look in his eyes, Akimichi Choza entrusted the unconscious Hiruzen Sarutobi to his two friends. Then, ignoring their objections, he turned his back to them and said in a deep voice.

"Don't let my sacrifice be in vain, let's go!"

Yamanaka Ino's eyes reddened, and he was suddenly pulled back by Nara Shikaku, who was carrying Sarutobi Hiruzen on his back. His tone was unreadable.

"Haiyi, let's go!"

Choza Akimichi resolutely raised the iron rod, a specially made rod as tall as his body, and then slammed it down heavily!

"Shimura Danzo!"

"Damn fatso, don't even think about stopping me!"

Nara Shikaku, who had fled swiftly back to the center of the village, looked back with some lingering affection. The man, as tall as a mountain, was slowly collapsing, a tear sliding down his cheek...
