The indescribable agony made Baku screech without end. Sensing something, Danzō barked in a low voice, his expression steely:
"Stay calm! Do not cancel the summoning technique on your own! Trust me this once!"
At some point Danzō had ripped the bandages from his face, exposing a crimson Sharingan. His gaze darted wildly in every direction.
When he finally locked onto Uchiha Chizumi's figure, he ground his teeth:
"Baku! You only have to hold out for two minutes! Give me two minutes and Uchiha Chizumi will die!"
"Danzō… are you really going to fight this magma monster to the bitter end?"
The sudden voice exploded in Danzō's mind.
Baku could not speak aloud, but by using the summoning formula it could communicate with Danzō telepathically.
He heard the creature's ragged, labored breathing.
Fixing a death stare on Uchiha Chizumi not far ahead, Danzō growled,
"This Uchiha brat was born evil. If he's allowed to remain in Konoha, the clan will steal the village someday!"
He then slowly unwrapped the bandage around his arm—possessing a Sharingan was no secret to Chizumi anyway.
And the eight subordinates he had brought to collect bodies?
When the magma severely injured Baku and the subordinates froze, Danzō realized they were all dead—or at least unable to fight.
Today he had effectively lost sixteen Root operatives.
Fresh and old grudges alike made him grind his teeth at Uchiha Chizumi.
Fine… two minutes! Baku, enduring the searing pain in its face, chose to trust its old human partner once more.
It glared at the boy who had burned it.
With a thunderous roar, Baku opened its mouth and spat a colossal Wind Bullet nearly as large as its own gigantic body.
Baku had no notion of "avoiding the innocent."
It was giving everything it had.
The Wind Bullet hurtled toward Uchiha Chizumi like an irresistible force.
Where it passed, the earth was shredded, trees snapped, and houses collapsed—had nearby civilians not already fled at the sound of ninja combat, they would never have escaped in time.
The hurricane‑force blast made Chizumi narrow his eyes.
It felt as if an invisible wall pushed him backward; his feet carved two shallow ruts in the ground.
With his three‑tomoe Sharingan he caught a blurred human shape being swept along by the enormous Wind Bullet—
It was…
Danzō!
—BOOM!
The Wind Bullet swallowed Uchiha Chizumi.
Behind him, buildings in the Yamanaka compound were ripped from their foundations; rubble whirled in all directions.
Chizumi's magma‑flowing body looked plastered with explosive tags—bang!—and was "shattered" by the blast.
Magma fountained a hundred meters high, splashed elsewhere to ignite roaring fires, clung to the ground like glue, or scattered as glowing droplets.
Danzō yanked five sealing scrolls from his belt, bit his tongue, and spat a mouthful of blood onto them.
"Ninja Art…
Multiple Evil Sealing Method!!"
Slamming his palms together, the muscles in his aged face quivered.
Behind him, Baku switched from exhaling to inhaling. The suction was no weaker than the earlier gale; scattered magma was drawn inexorably together.
The five scrolls Danzō threw out also emitted powerful suction, trying to swallow all the converging magma.
Seeing a mass of magma swirl into an arm‑shaped torrent, only two thoughts raced through Danzō's mind—Is this brat a monster? Is that body even human?
Still, he gritted his teeth; he refused to believe that five layers of sealing couldn't capture Uchiha Chizumi whole.
The next instant, Danzō froze.
"M‑my… arms…"
His shocked gaze dropped: under the moonlight, the magma's reflected shadow had become solid, binding his hands at a distance!
—Shadow Binding Technique!!!
The name of a Nara clan secret art detonated in his brain.
The shadow's immense force pried his arms apart; the chakra pouring into the scrolls went haywire.
Their suction faltered, even dragging in useless stones and leaves.
Damn!
At this rate he couldn't finetune the scrolls, let alone seal Chizumi.
A chill shot through Danzō. He had no time to wonder why a Nara ninja had appeared and attacked him; he now feared the embedded Sharingan in his arms would be crushed by the binding force.
With a snarl he hardened his resolve: thick vines burst from his right arm, tore at the shadow, and ripped it away.
His face was ashen. After exposing his Sharingan, he had now revealed Wood Release as well—both thanks to Uchiha Chizumi!
That inherently evil brat had forced him into this corner.
Damn him!
Suddenly, something else Danzō never expected occurred:
—The magma scattered across the sky simply vanished from his sight!
He first assumed he'd been caught in a Sharingan genjutsu, but with his own tomoe he should've sensed it.
Something's off…
Where is he?
Did he flee?
Then, to his shock, he saw the edge of one sealing scroll yellow and char as though baked by bizarre heat.
That was it!
If the brat had escaped, why hadn't the temperature dropped?
When that scroll ignited, the others caught fire too.
Only then did Danzō realize the truth: it wasn't genjutsu, and Chizumi hadn't fled—he was merely hiding his form with an unknown jutsu!
The kid had become invisible yet tangible magma!
Only one kekkei genkai fit—Transparent Release.
Feeling a wave of blistering heat at his face, veins bulged on Danzō's forehead as he roared in panic:
"Izanagi!!!"
The forbidden Sharingan technique activated, and at last he saw orange‑red magma right before his eyes.
Too late—far too close to evade.
—BOOM!
Danzō was engulfed in an instant.
Yet under the absurd power that "rewrites unfavorable reality," his vaporized body re‑formed immediately.
"You won't kill this old man so easily!"
He spat the words through gritted teeth—then realized Uchiha Chizumi, having "killed" him, did not attack again.
Instead he watched, wide‑eyed, as Baku's terrifying suction dragged the lethal magma torrent toward itself.
Hiss!
So the brat's real target was Baku!
Danzō's pupils constricted—but too late to warn it.
Like a tsunami, the magma surged high and crashed over Baku's enormous body.
