Chapter 64: Baku, Dead!
The indescribable pain made Baku scream incessantly. Danzō vaguely realized something and sternly shouted, "Calm down! Don't unilaterally dispel the summoning! Trust this old man just once!"
Danzō had, at some point, ripped off the bandages on his face, revealing a scarlet Sharingan, which rapidly scanned in all directions.
Once he locked onto Uchiha Ikeizumi's figure.
Danzō gritted his teeth, "Baku! You only need to last two minutes! Give this old man two minutes, and Uchiha Ikeizumi will die!"
'Danzō… are you truly going to fight this magma monster to the death?'
A sudden voice exploded in Danzō's mind.
Baku couldn't speak human language, but it could use the summoning contract as a conduit to communicate telepathically with Danzō.
Danzō heard the heavy panting in Baku's tone.
Danzō stared intently at Uchiha Ikeizumi's figure not far ahead. He said with a grim face, gritting his teeth, "If this inherently evil Uchiha brat continues to exist in Konoha, the Uchiha clan will eventually usurp Konoha!"
He then slowly removed the bandages wrapped around his arm—because he had the Sharingan, it was no longer a secret to Uchiha Ikeizumi.
As for the eight subordinates he brought to retrieve the bodies?
When Baku was heavily wounded by the magma, and before his subordinates could react, Danzō realized that all eight subordinates were dead, or even if not dead, were no longer capable of providing support.
This meant he had lost a total of sixteen Root ninja today!
All the accumulated new and old grievances made Danzō gnash his teeth in hatred towards Uchiha Ikeizumi!
'Alright… just two minutes!' Baku endured the intense pain in its face, choosing to trust its old human partner this one time.
It glared furiously at Uchiha Ikeizumi, who had burned it.
Letting out an earth-shattering roar, Baku opened its mouth and spat out a colossal wind orb, so immense it was comparable to its own body size!
Baku had no concept of "collateral damage."
It was fighting with all its might!
The gigantic wind orb surged towards Uchiha Ikeizumi with devastating force.
As the wind orb passed, the ground beneath was torn apart by the gale, trees snapped, and houses collapsed—if the Konoha civilians living nearby hadn't quickly evacuated minutes ago after hearing the sounds of ninja combat, they likely wouldn't have had time to evacuate now.
The intense gale forced Uchiha Ikeizumi to squint.
It felt like a tangible wall was constantly pushing him backward, and his feet dragged two shallow furrows in the ground.
The Three-Tomoe Sharingan keenly captured a blurry human figure being swept along by the massive wind orb!
That was…
Danzō!
—Boom!!!
The gigantic wind orb had already engulfed Uchiha Ikeizumi. Behind him, in the Yamanaka clan compound, houses were directly ripped from their foundations, and massive amounts of architectural debris flew wildly in all directions.
Uchiha Ikeizumi's magma-flowing body was like it had been covered in exploding tags; with a "bang," it was "shattered" by the enormous wind orb!
Large amounts of magma were either blown hundreds of meters into the sky, splattered in various places igniting raging fires, adhered stubbornly to the ground like glue, or scattered into countless flying magma specks.
Danzō pulled out five sealing scrolls from his waist, bit his tongue, and spat a mouthful of blood onto the five scrolls.
"Ninja Art…"
"Multiple Evil Sealing Method!!!"
Danzō suddenly clapped his hands together.
The muscles on his aged face continuously twitched.
Baku, behind him, at this moment transitioned from exhaling to inhaling. The fierce suction was no weaker than the howling gale from earlier, pulling the scattered magma to continuously converge.
The five sealing scrolls thrown by Danzō also simultaneously generated strong suction.
And attempted to draw all the converging magma into them.
Watching a mass of magma coalesce into a swirling magma arm in mid-air, Danzō had only two thoughts: Is this kid a monster?! Is his body even human anymore?!
But Danzō gritted his teeth; he refused to believe that five layers of sealing jutsu couldn't seal Uchiha Ikeizumi's entire body!
However, the next moment, Danzō froze.
"My… my arms…" Danzō's incomparably shocked gaze slowly shifted to his arms. He was stunned to see that in the moonlight, the shadows reflected by the magma had actually solidified, binding his hands from a distance!
—Shadow Imitation Technique!!!
The name of a Nara clan secret jutsu exploded in Danzō's mind.
The powerful force of the shadows binding his arms compelled Danzō's arms to slowly spread apart. The chakra continuously flowing into the sealing scrolls also became severely disrupted by his movements.
The sealing scrolls' suction also became chaotic, even sucking in useless debris and fallen leaves.
Damn it!
If this continued, he would definitely be unable to precisely control the scrolls, let alone seal Uchiha Ikeizumi.
Danzō was horrified. He had no time to consider why a Nara clan ninja would suddenly appear and attack him.
Because he began to worry that the Sharingan transplanted onto his arm would be crushed by the continuously increasing force of the shadows!
Danzō gritted his teeth and, with a fierce resolve, suddenly manifested thick wood release vines from his right arm. The numerous vines rapidly gripped the shadows binding his arms and forcibly tore them away.
His expression was extremely grim, because after exposing the Sharingan secret, he had now exposed his Wood Release trump card as well!
And both exposures were because of Uchiha Ikeizumi!
He, Danzō, was actually forced to such an extent by this inherently evil Uchiha brat.
Damn him!
Suddenly.
Another unexpected anomaly occurred for Danzō.
—The scattered magma filling the sky simply vanished from his sight without a trace!
Danzō's first thought was that he had fallen under a Sharingan genjutsu, but with his body full of Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he should have felt something even if he was caught in a genjutsu.
Something's wrong…
Where is he?!
Did he escape?!
Suddenly, Danzō was shocked to see the edge of one of the sealing scrolls appear strangely yellow and charred from high heat.
That's it!
If that evil Uchiha brat had escaped, why hadn't the surrounding temperature dropped at all?
When he saw the charred edge of the sealing scroll suddenly catch fire, and the other scrolls also began to burn as a result.
Danzō finally realized what was wrong.
He wasn't under genjutsu, nor had Uchiha Ikeizumi escaped; the opponent had simply used an unknown ninjutsu to hide their form!
That kid transformed into invisible but tangible magma!
Danzō could only link this to one kekkei genkai—Transparent Release!!
Feeling the inexplicably intense heat emanating towards his face.
A vein throbbed on Danzō's forehead, and he roared internally, "Izanagi!!!"
As the secret Sharingan jutsu activated again, he finally saw the orange-red magma appear before his eyes.
But it was too late, too close.
There was no way to dodge.
—Boom!!!
Danzō's body was instantly engulfed by magma. However, under the absurd Sharingan secret jutsu that "rewrites unfavorable events for oneself," his body, which had been vaporized by the magma, instantly reformed.
"This old man won't be killed by you so easily!"
Danzō, gritting his teeth as he spat out these words, suddenly noticed that Uchiha Ikeizumi, who had "killed" him, did not continue to attack him.
He watched helplessly as the terrifying suction of his summoning beast, Baku, pulled the deadly magma torrent towards itself!
Hiss!
This Uchiha brat's true target is Baku!!!
Danzō's pupils sharply constricted.
But it was too late to warn it.
The magma, like a tsunami, had already surged high, engulfing Baku's colossal body.
