Just as Sasuke was about to step away, his Sharingan abruptly caught a trace of anomaly.
The air was distorting.
An extremely discordant Chakra fluctuation was quietly emerging from the three corpses that should have been cold.
"Wait, something's wrong." Sasuke's voice was soft, but it instantly made Kakashi's already taut nerves jump to his throat.
He followed Sasuke's gaze, and then he saw it.
The three corpses, especially the ferocious bloody hole in Danzo's chest, were beginning to blur violently, like a reflection on water.
Then, under the two's disbelieving gaze, the fatal wound began to heal at an incredible speed that defied common sense!
It was as if the fatal blow had never happened.
"Danzo-sama!"
The figures of Yamanaka Fuu and Aburame Torune solidified almost simultaneously.
Their faces showed no relief at returning from death, not even a hint of surprise. Instinctively, they immediately blocked in front of Danzo, who had also been restored to his original state, their eyes filled with vigilance.
Shimura Danzo slowly opened his single eye. He raised his right arm, which was wrapped in bandages, and gently pulled one corner aside.
Beneath the bandages, one of the scarlet Sharingan that had been open was now permanently closed.
"To deal with this damned Uchiha brat... I actually had to waste one..."
"Impossible!" Kakashi hissed under his breath, staring intently at the White Fang in his hand.
He was absolutely certain he had killed Torune moments ago!
As a battle-hardened Elite Jonin, he had absolute confidence in the lives he ended with his own hands.
That feeling of life force draining away couldn't possibly be fake!
But the scene before him, defying life and death, shattered all his understanding.
However, Sasuke, who is standing beside him, only showed an expression of near disdain.
Watching the bizarre scene unfold, he slowly drew Takemikazuchi, which had just been sheathed, once more.
The pale blue blade once again gleamed with a clear light in the dim underground passage.
"Resurrected?"
Sasuke's voice was flat. He turned his face slightly, his gaze falling on Danzo again as if looking at a dead thing, "Then I'll just kill you again."
Hearing this, Danzo erupted with a chilling killing intent.
"Arrogant brat." He spoke hoarsely, slowly unwrapping all the bandages on his right arm.
A shocking scene was revealed before the two.
It was an arm that looked grotesquely pale, utterly incongruous with his aged body.
From wrist to shoulder, the arm was densely embedded with ten crimson Sharingan.
One of them, for some reason, was tightly closed.
Those eyes, their pupils restlessly shifting within the flesh, seemed to still possess life, silently watching the last descendant of their clan.
Even Sasuke's pupils contracted violently at the sight.
A fury born from his bloodline instantly rushed to his head.
'Those were Uchiha eyes!'
'The eyes of my clansmen!'
'These honors that should have rested in peace were now transplanted onto this butcher's body like trophies, becoming tools for him to gain power?!'
"You bastard..." Sasuke's voice grew hoarse with extreme anger.
"These are necessary sacrifices made to protect Konoha." Danzo seemed quite pleased with Sasuke's reaction, his voice full of condescending arrogance, "That they can become my power is an honor for the Uchiha Clan."
"Honor?" Sasuke laughed in extreme anger, "You call this desecration an honor?"
He wasted no more words. His figure left an afterimage where he stood. The Takemikazuchi in his hand turned into a deadly blue arc of lightning, slashing towards Danzo once more!
This time, Kakashi moved simultaneously. He couldn't let Sasuke face this bizarre situation alone.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Wave!"
Danzo inhaled sharply, and condensed wind blades shot from his mouth instantly, weaving a net of death that sealed off all angles of attack.
However, just as the wind blades were about to hit, Sasuke's figure melted into the ground without any warning, as if he had never existed.
"What?!"
Danzō was shocked inwardly. He quickly looked around, but all he saw was a deep, pure darkness, centered on him, madly spreading throughout the entire underground passage.
"This is..."
"Genjutsu: Bringer-of-Darkness Technique."
Sasuke's voice, like a ghost's, came from all directions at once, carrying a faint trace of mockery, "Originally developed by the Nidaime Hokage to counter the Uchiha. How ironic that an Uchiha is now using it against his disciple."
This was one of the many Forbidden Techniques he had memorized from the Scroll of Seals the night Naruto stole it.
Facing the pincer attack from both, however, Danzo merely snorted coldly. Fuu and Torune once again moved to shield him.
In the darkness, the advantage of these two Root's Shinobi was instantly nullified.
Their proud coordination became meaningless without their vision.
Sasuke, however, was like a fish in water.
His Shinigami's spiritual perception allowed him to clearly see the position of every soul's spiritual thread.
"Petty tricks!" Though startled, Danzo didn't panic. Relying on his rich combat experience, his single eye warily scanned the surrounding darkness.
Yet, there was only dead silence in the darkness.
Suddenly, an extreme sharpness attacked from behind!
Torune instinctively tried to activate his venomous insects for defense, but it was too late.
Pfft!
With a muffled thud, Torune's body stiffened violently. A long sword wreathed in black and white lightning accurately pierced through his back and out his chest, once again shredding his just-'resurrected' heart,
It was Sasuke's Takemikazuchi.
On the other side, Kakashi had also precisely slit Fuu's throat with White Fang.
Some time passed, and the darkness dissipated.
When light returned, only Kakashi, Sasuke, and Danzo, who is restored once more but with an even gloomier expression, remained in the area.
"Two more wasted..." Danzo cursed under his breath, a trace of gravity finally entering his tone, "It seems I'll need to show some real skill to deal with you."
Kakashi, panting, stood shoulder to shoulder with Sasuke and warned in a low voice, "Sasuke, it's those Sharingan! Every time he revives, one eye on his arm closes. That must be the cost of using this Forbidden Technique!"
"Mm, I see it." Sasuke's eyes remained cold, "Then we'll just have to kill him a few more times."
The battle erupted again.
This time, Danzo was no longer passively defending. He launched an attack.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
He spat out a highly compressed wind cannonball, its power enough to easily shatter giant boulders.
Sasuke and Kakashi tacitly dodged to either side. But Danzo's figure, using the wind as cover, had already closed in on Sasuke.
He had chosen close combat!
Danzo's Taijutsu was seasoned and vicious, every move carrying a hint of suicidal madness.
But each seemingly fatal attack was deflected by Sasuke's more exquisite swordsmanship.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Sword and kunai clashed madly in the confined space, sparks flying.
'Now!'
Kakashi seized the opportunity, launching a sneak attack from behind Danzo.
However, Danzō seemed to have eyes on his back. Without even turning his head, his left arm bent backward at an impossible angle, accurately grabbing Kakashi's striking wrist.
"Too naive, Kakashi."
Just as he was about to twist and break Kakashi's wrist, Sasuke's blade once again soundlessly pierced through his heart.
Fourth death.
The fourth Sharingan on his arm closed.
"Damn it..." The revived Danzo quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and the two. His face grew extremely dark.
He looked down at the already closed eyes on his arm, then at the completely unharmed Uchiha brat opposite him. For the first time, anxiety appeared in his eye.
His supposedly perfect Izanagi seemed so powerless in this high-intensity battle of attrition.
'This brat... must not be allowed to live!' Danzo's killing intent reached its peak, but he still held back from using that eye.
'But to use Shisui's eye on a brat like you...' He sneered inwardly, '...you're not worthy!'
This arrogance, ingrained in his bones, led him to make the worst possible choice.
Several more exchanges occurred.
Under Sasuke's onslaught, Danzo was continuously killed and continuously revived.
The Sharingan on his arm closed one after another, permanently.
Finally, after being pierced through the chest yet again by Sasuke's Chidori Sharp Spear, Danzo felt fear.
He staggered back, looking down at his arm.
Beneath the bandages, only three eyes remained open.
"Damn it..." Danzo gasped heavily. He knew he couldn't continue like this.
'Next time, I had to finish it!'
'I can't hold back anymore...' He made up his mind, 'After the next revival, I'll use Kotoamatsukami on him immediately!'
Just as this thought formed, Sasuke let out a low cry.
"Let vengeance fill the emptiness of this body!"
He raised high the pitch-black long sword that had never been drawn, calling its true name.
"Indra!"
"Naraku Abyssal Blazing Bloom!"
Accompanied by his suppressed roar of boundless rage, over a dozen gigantic pillars of black flame abruptly erupted from the ground around him, shooting into the air!
They intertwined and bloomed like a death flower blooming in the depths of hell, turning the entire underground passage into a sea of black fire!
"Hmph, impotent rage." Danzo watched the sea of fire rushing towards him, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. His figure flickered, using Izanagi to evade once again.
After reviving, Danzō looked at the only two remaining Sharingan on his arm. A look of resolve finally flashed in his eye.
'Although the Pupil Power would take a long time to recover after use, if I could just control this brat, it would all be over!'
However, just as this thought arose in his mind…
A pitch-black blade, wrapped in silent black flames, once again soundlessly severed his head.
It was Indra.
"It's over." Sasuke looked at the head rolling on the ground.
"Ridiculous brat, what makes you think it's over?" As expected, Danzo's headless body once again vanished into thin air.
Not far away, his figure re-solidified.
"This time, it will be your final…" Danzo grinned fiercely, preparing to activate that ultimate Genjutsu.
But his words was cut off abruptly.
He couldn't feel the ocular power belonging to Shisui in his eye anymore!
The Mangekyo Sharingan that should have belonged to Shisui had now lost all its brilliance!
"Impossible!" Danzo let out a horrified roar, "How?! I clearly still had..."
His gaze swept over his arm again. Those eyes that should have been open had, at some point, all closed!
In an instant, he understood something.
"Genjutsu..." He looked at Sasuke in disbelief.
Sasuke slowly sheathed his sword. Those crimson Sharingan calmly watched the old man descending into madness. A mocking smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He spoke in a tone filled with feigned confusion, murmuring softly, "Weren't you already out of Sharingan just now? How could you still revive?"
