Chapter 63: Uchiha Obito
Danzō thought he was extreme enough by using powerful ninjutsu in Konoha village, regardless of civilian casualties or property damage, but he unexpectedly encountered someone even more extreme.
He could hardly imagine the sheer destruction that would be caused if the massive amount of magma volcanic bombs raining down from the sky were not controlled.
However, Danzō knew one thing for certain—neither he nor his summoning beast could be hit by this magma!
He had already experienced the terror of magma many days ago.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Consecutive Spheres!!!"
Danzō took a deep breath of the air, thick with the smell of sulfur, and his summoning beast, Baku, raised its head and opened its wide mouth.
Puff puff puff puff puff—
Numerous wind orbs rapidly shot out from its mouth. The dense array of wind orbs almost managed to contend with the volcanic bombs falling from the sky, as both sides rapidly collided in mid-air.
But just then, Danzō's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of Uchiha Ikeizumi's figure mysteriously vanishing!
Damn it!
Danzō's gaze rapidly swept in all directions, worried that Uchiha Ikeizumi would take the opportunity to close in.
However, Danzō was overthinking it this time, because Uchiha Ikeizumi's priority was to first deal with those annoying "little flies."
A magma-flowing, terrifyingly hot, orange-red palm had, at some unknown moment, seized a Root ninja's face.
The Root mask instantly melted, and the magma palm, like a branding iron, deeply seared into the Root ninja's face.
"Ah ah ah ah ah—"
Accompanied by a piercing scream, Uchiha Ikeizumi didn't even need to press down hard; the Root ninja's face already sank more than halfway in, like melting butter.
Until the screams ceased.
Life was completely extinguished.
"A weak point!!!" As Danzō and Baku jointly blocked the volcanic bombs falling from the sky, one Root ninja gritted his teeth, desperately closing in behind Uchiha Ikeizumi.
He tore open his ninja combat vest, ripped apart the inner shirt he wore, bit his thumb, and slashed across his abdomen.
Instantly.
His abdomen rapidly manifested strange, interlocking black sealing jutsu patterns. The chakra within his body was rapidly drained by the sealing jutsu, causing the Root ninja's muscles to visibly shrivel.
"Ninja Art: Binding Puppet Seal!!!"
Whoosh—
The black sealing jutsu patterns on his abdomen transformed into three black chains, shooting through the air towards Uchiha Ikeizumi's back!
Puff!
Puff!
Puff!
The chains instantly pierced Uchiha Ikeizumi's body. Although no blood flowed from his body, the chains spread out in strange patterns, gradually covering the surface of his magma-flowing skin.
In the vision of the Root ninja, whose body had shriveled to skin and bones from severe chakra drain, Uchiha Ikeizumi seemed to struggle to break free from the chains' restraint, but he couldn't break free no matter what.
"Heh…"
The Root ninja, his face pale from severe chakra depletion, let out a cold laugh: "This is from the Uzumaki clan…"
"What are you doing! He's behind you!!!" A sudden shout made the Root ninja freeze for a moment.
Before he could make any other move, he found the ninja blade tucked into his waist being pulled out from behind him.
Whoosh—
A large head slid from his neck. Uchiha Ikeizumi calmly glanced at the headless corpse on the ground, then looked at the black chains impaling a patch of air in front of him.
Sharingan genjutsu was still too overpowered.
Especially in a life-or-death battle like this, even a mere second of genjutsu was enough to determine one's fate.
"Meow! These guys are ganging up on Lord Ikeizumi! Rookie, run faster! We need to quickly support Lord Ikeizumi!"
Kikujirō led a swarm of ninja cats, rushing frantically towards the Yamanaka clan compound.
Izumi followed closely behind.
"Kikujirō, what's that?!" Izumi, while running quickly, looked up in shock at the distant Baku.
Kikujirō first corrected her: "You should call me Senior Kikujirō!"
It then quickly replied: "That's Shimura Danzō's old dog of a summoning beast, I think it's called Baku. It's a very powerful summoning beast, skilled in ninjutsu without hand seals for Wind Release."
As the single person and numerous cats leaped and moved across rooftops.
Suddenly, a black-cloaked figure on a rooftop ahead caught Izumi and Kijirō's attention.
As Izumi quickly moved past the figure, she hastily turned her head, wanting to see who it was.
But she found that the figure had suddenly vanished!
As if it had never existed.
As if it were her illusion.
"Kikujirō… Senior!" Izumi's pupils contracted slightly. She immediately shouted, "Did you guys see that person just now?"
Kijirō's cat face was solemn: "I saw him… but I didn't see how he disappeared. Meow… I think I vaguely saw him wearing a mask that only showed one eye. Never mind him for now, supporting Lord Ikeizumi is more important!"
....
"Uchiha Ikeizumi…"
Under the night sky, almost invisible ripples in the air gently swayed. A figure clad in a black cloak reappeared.
His single exposed eye hinted at a trace of gloom.
"If it weren't for Minato-sensei back then, I would probably have died by your hand already, wouldn't I? Heh… I heard that little guy named Uchiha Itachi also experienced the same thing as me."
He seemed to be muttering to himself illogical thoughts.
"Running into you right after midnight, what bad luck. Should I take this opportunity… to kick you while you're down?"
His gaze stretched forward. When he saw one figure after another rushing anxiously towards the Yamanaka clan compound.
He sighed regrettably again.
"Never mind…"
"There are too many people."
....
Boom!!!
Rolling, scorching magma flowed towards Baku and Danzō. Under the intense heat, even dozens of meters away, it made Danzō's eyes sting and his skin itch.
Baku took a deep breath, then exhaled from its mouth.
Gusts of howling wind, like a solid wall, rigidly blocked the surging magma flow.
But Danzō keenly noticed that the ground beneath Baku's feet was not right.
Within the dense cracks, faint red lights appeared, as if some terrifying entity was about to burst from the earth.
Danzō's breath hitched.
His pupils contracted sharply.
"Baku! Below!" He urgently shouted, making Baku's gaze also drop.
The next moment, Baku's eyes reflected the glow of magma.
—Rumble!
The earth in front of Baku's feet tore and shattered. A massive amount of magma, like a giant scythe, surged up, slashing towards Baku's head!
Baku hastily recoiled, but the magma erupted too quickly; in less than a blink of an eye, it swept past in front of it.
Danzō also watched as the crimson scythe-like magma suddenly flashed past, less than three meters in front of him!
"Grrooaarrr!!!"
Danzō heard Baku's agonizing scream. When he quickly looked down, he could see that Baku's long nose, and half of its facial skin, had completely vanished!
