Although Danzō was old, his speed when moving through the forest wasn't slow at all. Of course, it might also be because there was a deadly guy chasing behind him.
After learning that Tsunade had succeeded the Hokage, Danzō had planned to return to Konoha.
In Danzō's prediction, Tsunade had just succeeded the Hokage and needed his support as a Konoha elder and the head of Root.
And this was also a good opportunity for him to seize power and make up for his losses.
He couldn't deal with Hiruzen Sarutobi, but he didn't believe that Tsunade, that "little girl," would dare to say things like "I am the Hokage" to him all the time.
But who would have thought that he would encounter an attack halfway.
The special abilities of the attackers indicated their identity, and Fairy Tail hadn't planned to hide anything from the beginning.
Danzō admitted that he was responsible for the previous initiative to provoke the incident, but he had also lost a large number of subordinates and the opportunity to compete for the Hokage.
As a result, these people still wouldn't let him go, and seemed determined to kill him. It was simply too much!
So Danzō decisively... turned around and ran!
And this had always been within Drake's expectations. As long as you understood a little about Danzō, you would know that unless he was already in a dead end, he would never face danger like a warrior.
He was still dreaming of having the opportunity to become the Hokage, so how could he fight Fairy Tail to the death?
Nine fire dragons danced, burning a large area of forest behind Danzō into ashes. Stella walked out of the flames, and couldn't help but show a disdainful expression as she looked at the backs of Danzō and the others.
Danzō was leading his subordinates and fleeing in a panic when suddenly a figure appeared in front of him.
"Go and take care of her!"
Hearing Danzō's order, the two ninjas behind him immediately stepped forward, drew their short swords, and were about to attack the girl who was blocking the way.
Kagura placed her slender hand on the hilt of her sword, and in the next instant, a terrifying sword light lit up.
"Gravity Blade - Crescent Moon!"
The so-called Crescent Moon referred to the crescent moon on the third day of each month. The sword light that Kagura slashed out was truly like a new moon falling down, and the hazy clouds around the crescent moon were the air distorted by the powerful gravity.
The two Root ninjas were hit by the falling crescent moon. In an instant, their bodies were deformed like kneaded dough, and then disappeared.
Danzō's single eye's pupils shrank, and he subconsciously stopped and changed direction. Kagura also didn't mean to pursue, and inserted the sword back into the scabbard.
...
"This road is blocked!"
Gray touched the ground with both hands, and a wall of ice rose up. Danzō didn't even have the courage to test it this time, and immediately turned around and fled in another direction.
...
"Heaven's Wheel Armor - Blazing Swords!"
Several Root ninjas were directly nailed to the ground by the sharp swords, and Danzō gritted his teeth and turned around and left.
By now, Danzō knew that he had become the prey in the hunting ground, and was being forced to move only towards the trap. He really had no other choice like a beast that was panicking and didn't choose its path.
For a time, the fear of death and the sense of humiliation made his expression collapse. After encountering several ambushes, he finally went to the correct direction, but all his subordinates were gone.
Just then, the scene in front of him suddenly lit up. It turned out that he had left the forest, and sunlight fell on his body.
But he only felt a chill all over his body, and couldn't feel any warmth at all.
In front of him was a piece of abandoned architecture that had been neglected for a long time, and the torii at the entrance indicated that this should be a shrine.
But what shocked Danzō was the fan symbol on the stone tablet at the entrance. That was the Uchiha clan's family crest.
The Uchiha were a thousand-year-old noble clan in the ninja world after all, and possessed a large number of assets. And after the Uchiha clan was massacred, it was unknown where these assets had gone.
But after accepting Madara Uchiha's memories, Sasuke knew the location of this shrine that the Uchiha clan had before joining Konoha.
Because the Uchiha clan themselves had forgotten that they had built this shrine, Danzō also didn't know about this place.
And Sasuke had also chosen this place as the site of the revenge battle.
The members of Fairy Tail appeared and stood around the shrine, cutting off all of Danzō's escape routes.
Looking at Sasuke, who was walking down the mountain path step by step, Danzō said angrily, "Sasuke Uchiha, what do you want to do by colluding with outsiders?
Attacking me, an elder of Konoha, do you want to become a renegade ninja?"
Sasuke certainly wouldn't have any wavering, and said, "I have enough resolve to stand here! But before I take action, I have one thing to ask you.
Why? Why are you so hostile to the Uchiha clan? Why did you have to go this far?"
Having been hunted down to this point, Danzō had no mental defenses to speak of at this time.
Not caring how Sasuke had learned the truth, he said in exasperation, "The Uchiha clan are all unstable elements that will harm Konoha. They're all guys who don't have the Will of Fire in their hearts at all.
And just as the Second Hokage predicted, the Uchiha clan did plan to launch a rebellion. What's wrong with eliminating them to protect Konoha?
It's just that Itachi insisted on letting you go, you little brat, that's why today's events happened!"
Sasuke didn't become violent because of Danzō's evaluation of the Uchiha clan, but just closed his eyes.
"I see. You really are an incurable scum, just like what Drake said!
You come up with so many high-sounding excuses but don't dare to show your arm. You're clearly greedy for the Uchiha clan's power, so don't pretend to be selfless!"
When Sasuke opened his eyes, his pupils were already scarlet, and three black tomoe were rotating in them.
Danzō had calmed down a bit, and after sweeping around the members of Fairy Tail, he looked back at Sasuke and said, "What a terrifying intelligence ability. As expected, you're also a threat to Konoha. Very well, I'll solve all of you here."
Saying this, the iron ring that was holding Danzō's wrist fell to the ground, and the bandage also fell off, revealing the pale-skinned arm below.
But what was most surprising was that there were also ten scars distributed on the arm, and scarlet eyes were embedded in the center of the scars.
The ten Sharingan were still rotating, and just looking at them gave a disgusting feeling that made people lose their sanity.
Although he had long learned about Danzō's actions from Drake, Sasuke couldn't help but become angry when he saw this scene.
"Thunder Breathing - Thunderclap and Flash!"
Before Danzō could react to what had happened, his head fell off his neck.
Sasuke looked at the bloodstains where the blade had disappeared, turned around and looked at Danzō, who was standing in the distance.
"How laughable. To fight me, an Uchiha, you actually have to use the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique to save your life. You're really pathetic!"
What Danzō had used just now was Izanagi, which was also listed as a forbidden technique in the Uchiha clan.
After opening this technique, the caster could turn all unfavorable situations, including death, into illusions within a certain period of time, and retain the favorable ones as reality.
In the Uchiha clan, Izanagi was known as the technique that determined fate.
After learning the specific situation of this technique from Sasuke, Drake knew how heaven-defying this technique was.
Izanagi was actually a genjutsu, but this genjutsu was based on reality, but blurred the boundary between illusion and reality.
So the ultimate form of genjutsu was indeed to create reality. Perhaps Madara Uchiha really believed that the Infinite Tsukuyomi could create a real world of peace.
It was just that the price of this technique was the blindness of one Sharingan. And for Danzō, counting the eyes of Shisui in his eye socket, he had gained eleven lives out of thin air.
But now, one of the eyes on Danzō's arm had closed.
There was no need for Drake to explain Izanagi to Sasuke, after all, Madara Uchiha had used Izanagi to deceive Hashirama Senju and Tobirama Senju.
The duration of one activation of Izanagi for Danzō was five minutes, while it was ten minutes for Obito Uchiha. And Madara Uchiha was definitely above the two.
Having accepted Madara Uchiha's memories, Sasuke was of course also above Danzō in the theoretical level of this technique.
"But this is also good. Just killing you once, how can I vent all the anger in my chest!"
As he spoke, the tomoe in Sasuke's eyes rotated rapidly, eventually connecting into one piece.
