After traveling for about 20 minutes I finally stumbled across my target, he wearing your typical Konoha shinobi attire while carrying a sword behind his back, he has long shaggy black hair up to his dull brown eyes, and has an x-shaped mark on his chin, while his right eye also cover in bandages
Five masked people wearing a complete black robe can be seen standing behind him without making a single sound.
{hmm, those five anbu behind him is at least a Jounin but it's not a big deal for me, what baffled me is this bastard actually only brought 5 people with him, is he that confident with his strength? that he doesn't need to bring more of his people } my thought was suddenly interrupted when I heard Danzo told his lackey to stop which surprise me a lot
{ Did this bastard detect me? impossible with my 'silent night' even a byakugan user won't catch a glimpse of me let alone this guy who didn't even have his Mangekyou yet } I don't want to be a prick but I'm sure that with my ' silent night ' only someone like Hiashi Hyuga, Hiruzen or Minato can detect me right now. This technique basically me bending space and energy around me to deflect any light reflection from touching my body thus allowing me to blend with nature itself the only downside of this technique is that I can't attack without undoing this technique.
"why don't you show your self, you have been following us for almost 10 minutes already," said Danzo calmly.
{sigh, did I just get a free slap on my face? I underestimate this guy too much } without thinking too much I cover my face using a white mask with a black lightning symbol on the right eyes and a red slit across the mouth after that I jump from the tree I'm currently at and land in front of them
" May I ask how did you detect me? I'm not boasting but I'm confident enough for me to go undetected even under Byakugan user." I ask Danzo stunned by his ability.
" Since you follow me here I assume that you know who I am, you must know that I once working directly under the second Hokage, Tobirama Senju who hailed as one of the strongest sensory type shinobi in this world so it's not weird for me to have a trick or two. Even though you manage to hide your physical body perfectly it doesn't mean that you can hide your aura or smell from me, I constantly spread a special type of scent 80 meters around me so when I detect a new type of smell that I don't recognize I knew directly something is wrong." I only listen carefully to what he saying, to be honest, I impressed by this guy method and his nose seems to be even stronger than your average Inuzuka member. And that also explains that strange smell I notice earlier.
" Sigh as expected from someone like you Danzo Shimura, so what a higher up from Konoha doing here in this unstable Land? and did the Fourth Hokage know about this? " I ask his true motive even though I already guess his purpose for coming here.
" So Minato send you here? but im sorry I can't tell you about it, but I can tell you that I'm doing this for the sake of Konoha," replied Danzo without changing his expression.
{ This old man sure hard to crack, to be honest, I don't understand this guy way of thinking. }
" Sigh, you do know that your action can cause another war and yet you still think that you do all this for the sake of Konoha? Your true reason is that you are jealous of Hiruzen Sarutobi and just want the Hokage seat by yourself am I right Danzo? " I said mockingly at Danzo
" How dare you talk like that toward Lord Danzo, die " but before Danzo can speak further one of the masked men behind him launch himself toward me with his sword.
I seeing this comical scene just step aside a bit before summoning my sword on my left hand and stab at his heart before he can even react.
" Sigh, this is why cannon fodder like you died so easily you guys seem to think using your toes. " I said while keep shaking my head before resummon back my sword back to the inventory.
" Young man before I start dirtying my hand by killing you, you should take your leave now before it too late. since the fourth send you I won't take this thing to my heart" said Danzo with a serious face.
"Hahahahaha with just you guys? believe me or not if I fought with my full strength you guys won't even be able to put a scratch on me let alone killing me " I laugh maniacally after hearing Danzo word, he may be able to fight me on a equal ground if he had Shisui Mangekyou and Izanagi but without them, this guys aren't that dangerous.
After hearing my word the other masked men was extremely furious while saying something like ' don't be arrogant ' or ' don't belittle us ' or ' I will kill you ' anyways their dialogue is not that important so I just ignore them while Danzo only looks at me without saying anything.
After that, the four masked men launch themselves at me with the full intention of killing me. Since I don't want to waste any more time I summon my wood clone and order him to take care of this guy while I take care of Hanzo himself.
" You guys can play a bit with my clone, he should be able to entertain you guys. " I said before vanishing from there before they could process my words.
" Since you keep getting in my ways I will just kill you here," said Danzo after I will 5 meters in front of him.
" You are not qualified to become a Hokage Danzo, your ideology is too extreme even if it for the benefits of the villages, the ways you do your works are too dark and sinister, " I said toward Danzo.
" I know that my ideology seem a bit extreme but you need to know that if I don't do this Konoha will perish one day, a leader needs to be extreme to a certain extent if you want to stabilize the village, someone like Hiruzen is not suited to become a Hokage because he too soft and he let his emotion take over him some time." well I do agree about Hiruzen ways of doing things, he too inconsistent in his decision some time and too soft, like when he allow Danzo doing everything shady behind his back but even after he knew about it he just shrug it off as long as it benefit Konoha but that old man ultimately still better then this D*ckhead.
" Sigh then I guess our ways of thinking are different from the beginning, how stupid am I in believing that you can still be salvaged, " I said while summoning my sword back into my right hand before vanish from there and reappears in front of him while swinging down my sword.
-------------Third-person POV ------------------
Two human figures can be seen fighting under the gloomy sky as the rain keeps pouring their essence on both of them. These two figures can barely be seen using the naked eyes as both of them are moving so fast that look like seeing two types of lightning, colliding and clashing with each other in a chaotic rhythm.
The sound that was produced from their sword clash echoed throughout the battlefield like a curse melody.
After both of them testing each other ability for almost 5 minutes, both of them stop 10 meters away from each other before Danzo make his move first
" Ninja art: summoning Jutsu," said Danzo after bitting his thumb finger and then place in on the ground and after that, a huge tapir like creature emerges from the huge smoke
the huge tapir like creature then makes a strong suction vacuum that sucks everything in front of him even the ground begin to form a crack.
" This wireless vacuum is fucking annoying, maybe you should cool down a bit. Earth release: Great underworld Swamp " said Hiroyuki before making a hand seal and slamming it on the ground.
Soon the ground around the huge tapir like creature starts to turn into a huge vicious swamp that covers almost 50 meters and making the creature start to lose its footing and soon its disappears completely from their sight by getting devoured by the swamp.
But before the chaos can be subdued even a little Hiroyuki starts to make his counter attack first to caught Danzo off guard.
" Genjutsu art: Bringers of darkness," said Hiroyuki making Danzo get engulfed in pure darkness that cut off his sight completely.
" Hashirama Senju genjutsu art? who are you really is? I don't recall seeing someone who has even half of your prowess considering your age. " said Danzo calmly even after he can't use his sight.
" It irrelevant at this point about my identity, but I warned you Danzo if you don't use everything that you have, you will die before you even realize that you already dead," said Hiroyuki
" Haha, you truly a fascinating opponent, the last time that I fought someone with my own life on the line is when I fought in the second shinobi war. Then prepare yourself, I going full strength right now. "
Then before Hiro can reply back to him all alarm inside his body start screaming and his beast instincts kick in so he jumps back far away from his location and tries to reevaluate the situation back
"did he just cut his left arm to escape from my genjutsu? " said Hiroyuki feeling disbelief at what Danzo do because he can see an amputated left arm on the ground at Danzo previous location while Danzo himself already gone from there
" You should pay more attention during your battle young man," said Danzo suddenly appears behind Hiroyuki back while trying to amputate his head but was deflect easily by Hiroyuki sword.
" Sharingan huh? so that why you suddenly change your battle style. " analyze Hiroyuki after seeing Sharingan with three tomoe on Danzo right eyes.
{ He coats his entire body with wind element to boast his overall speed to the maximum, with the help of the Sharingan he can easily react to his new speed, it basically the same thing as Kakashi Raikiri.} while Hiroyuki still in his thoughts Danzo attack him again bringing his focus on the battlefield once again.
After exchanging blow for a minutes Hiroyuki suddenly kicks Danzo's stomach trying to distance their gap before he starts performing several hands seals at a fast speed.
" Wood release: Deep forest emerges " shout Hiroyuki startling the hell out of Danzo and soon his face starts to change from shock to pure horror because he can see thousands of tree branches and the like start to emerges from the barren ground that they stood.
Danzo realized that the current situation is too hard for him to handle and trying to escape from the battlefield but it seems that fate really want him dead today because every time he destroys one branch another two arrives in front of him and sure enough he starts to lose his bearing and finally after struggling for what felt an eternity for him, he surrenders as he lost all hope.

*step * *step * * step *
the sound of a steady and rhythmic footstep can be heard somewhere in this newly created forest.
and soon a man wearing a white mask can be seen standing in front of a relatively big tree, his gaze then falls onto the body of the man that he fought before. this man is Hiroyuki
" You sure are resilient Danzo," said Hiroyuki while examining his opponent's body.
Danzo's condition right now is heart-wrenching you can say, one of his arms and legs are already gone, he has a large hole on his stomach probably got stab by a sharp tree branch while he struggling earlier and his whole body are covered in blood right now.
Danzo before he exhales his last breath he lifts his face looking at the person that killed him, before using every ounce of energy and strength that he still has to speak his last dying message toward Hiroyuki.
" I guess even at my last moment I still can't fulfill my dream to become a Hokage huh, I know what I'm going to say next may be a bit overboard but please protect the villages," said Danzo before closing his eyes and never to open it ever again.
" Don't worry I will protect the village in your stead instead" said Hiroyuki before he seals Danzo dead body in scroll to be pass to Minato later because even if he the most and evil person in Konoha he is still a shinobi from the Konoha.
"It seems my clone already kill that four anbu earlier than I expected since my clone memories finally resurfaced back after Danzo dead, well I still have unfinished business in this land so I should leave this place as soon as possible," said Hiro to himself because speeding toward another location.
