"Ugh… cough…"
Staggering step by step through the desolate woodland, Danzo Shimura moved alone through the wilderness. Each footprint he left behind was soaked in blood, vivid and glaring against the earth.
He gasped for breath in great, ragged gulps. His aged, withered face was deathly pale, ghastly like that of a corpse. One of his arms had been severed, and he had crudely torn off a sleeve to wrap around the stump. It was less a bandage than a desperate attempt to clog the wound and stop the bleeding.
Thud.
Danzo collapsed heavily against the trunk of a tree. He twisted his head to glance behind him and, after confirming there was no one in pursuit, finally allowed himself to release a slow, shaky breath.
"Damn it…"
After forcing himself to recover a little strength, Danzo quickly assessed his injuries. The situation was far from optimistic. A lost arm could still be replaced, and he had no shortage of spare Sharingan. But the blade wound at his waist had struck dangerously deep, and worse still, an eerie, icy chakra was continuously gnawing at his internal organs.
Given the severity of these injuries, without months of recuperation, recovery would be impossible.
"But… I've obtained extremely important information as well!"
Panting heavily, Danzo recalled Kirito's eyes. He raised a hand to cover his remaining right eye.
"Those eyes… To resist the Mangekyō Sharingan, only a power superior to Mangekyō itself could do so. The Byakugan? Impossible. A Hyuga… yet a bloodline power that far surpasses Mangekyō… Could it be the one the Second Hokage once mentioned?"
A cold, twisted smile crept onto Danzo's face.
"Hmph! Just wait, Kirito Hyuga! Those eyes will be mine. If brute force fails, then I'll rely on schemes. Humans always have weaknesses. No matter how strong you are, as long as I seize someone close to you, let's see if you still refuse to submit!"
After being utterly crushed by Kirito's gaze, Danzo felt no fear. Instead, an intense, possessive greed burned within him.
"With eyes that surpass Mangekyō, what couldn't I accomplish? I'll erase every opponent and ascend to the Hokage's seat!"
Even gravely wounded and barely clinging to life, Danzo's ambition remained terrifying. Such a man was exceedingly dangerous. If allowed to recover, he would stop at nothing to seize what he desired.
"Just you wait, Kirito Hyuga! I will- ?!"
Suddenly, Danzo froze.
He seemed to hear something strange.
The surrounding air abruptly grew stiflingly hot.
At that moment, a deep, thunderous rumble echoed from the void. As the sound reverberated, the air itself trembled as if stirred by an unseen force. In the forest, insects and beasts alike reacted as though sensing imminent death, fleeing madly toward the outskirts.
The sudden, catastrophic change startled Danzo.
"What's going on? Hm?!"
A vast shadow suddenly enveloped his entire body. Instinctively, Danzo raised his head.
At this moment, the sky above Konoha had become completely unrecognizable.
The atmosphere churned violently, surging through the void like massive, rolling waves that spread outward in all directions. The violent airflow triggered drastic distortions in the sky itself. Roaring clouds, under the forceful intervention of some overwhelming power from beyond the sky, were shredded into chaos.
In an instant, wind and clouds raged together. Black storm clouds formed a massive, inverted barrier across the sky. Within that barrier, even ultimate S-rank Lightning Release forbidden techniques paled in comparison. Countless bolts of lightning and thunder dragons raged wildly through the fractured clouds. Furious storms swept up everything they could seize, turning the already turbulent sky even more savage.
In less than a few minutes, a scene resembling the end of the world formed above Konoha.
"Th-this… what is this?!"
Even Danzo, Root's leader, a high-ranking figure of Konoha, and a veteran Kage-level powerhouse who once dominated the shinobi world, felt a deep, instinctive shock.
The blackened sky.
The roaring clouds.
The rampaging lightning.
The howling winds.
All of it pressed down upon the schemer who manipulated others from the shadows, crushing him beneath immense psychological pressure.
Lightning continued to explode across the sky. When the thunder reached its peak, the storm clouds, previously rolling like violent waves, were suddenly forced apart by an overwhelming power, dispersing in all directions.
At the center of the dispersing currents, a searing crimson glow slowly emerged, dyeing the sky a faint red… growing clearer… brighter… ever more distinct!
As the blazing red approached, a terrifying heatwave descended alongside suffocating pressure. In an instant, the tallest rock face of Konoha, the cliff carved with the visages of successive Hokage, was struck as if by an invisible giant hand, exploding violently into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.
The people of Konoha were seized by despair.
They could only watch helplessly as destruction descended.
Danzo, the conspirator who thrived in darkness, roared beneath the crushing pressure, desperately trying to understand what was happening above him. For the first time, fear took root in the heart of a man accustomed to controlling the life and death of others.
But here, in this desolate wilderness, no one could answer him.
No one knew how much time passed, whether moments or an eternity.
"RUMBLE!!!"
A deafening roar erupted amid the raging airflow. The sky ignited with fire, and in the next instant, all turbulent currents vanished completely.
At the edge of the sky, a colossal meteor, over three kilometers across and engulfed in roaring flames, came fully into view.
"A meteor?! Impossible!!" Danzo screamed hysterically.
Yet whether by illusion or cruel reality, he felt it unmistakably.
That monstrous mass was coming straight for him.
His body stood precisely at its center.
Within Konoha, everyone, shinobi and civilians alike, including clan heads such as Hiashi, stared upward in shock and terror.
"My god…"
"You've got to be kidding…"
"Damn it, Kirito! Is this your doing?!"
Fear erupted into furious accusations. Despair flooded every heart.
Yet in the face of their screams, Kirito's hands never wavered from the casting seal. The eerie light blazing in his eyes was more intense than ever before.
The meteor had yet to land, but the pressure alone had already plunged Konoha and its surrounding lands into the shadow of annihilation.
Terrified civilians, shinobi, and merchants fled in panic, crying out as they surged toward the outskirts, desperate to escape the village known as the most prosperous in the shinobi world.
But no matter how fast they ran, how could they outrun a falling star?
When the meteor tore through the clouds and fully revealed itself, it did not hesitate for even a moment. Wrapped in a heatwave capable of incinerating the void itself, it descended with unstoppable momentum, crashing into the forest less than a kilometer outside the village.
The destructive energy contained within the meteor detonated the instant it struck the ground.
Though it did not land directly within Konoha, the catastrophic force of the impact was more than enough to devastate everything within kilometers. The shockwaves alone were sufficient to erase the surrounding land.
BOOM!
A world-ending sonic blast erupted, and in that instant, all of existence seemed to freeze.
Kirito's hand seals shifted. He raised his head sharply, his eyes unleashing a powerful beam of light that traced a perfect circle across the sky above Konoha.
"Creation's Absolute Barrier!"
A white, spherical barrier descended from above, enveloping the entire Hidden Leaf Village.
At last, the surging ocular power within Kirito's eyes was fully expended. The eerie blue-white glow faded, his pupils returning to their original black.
"Finally… it can be sealed away. This power of destruction."
Within Konoha, all sound, cries, screams, roaring winds, ceased simultaneously. Amid extreme chaos, the world fell into absolute silence.
Before their eyes unfolded a surreal sight.
From the western outskirts, a wave of annihilation surged toward the village, engulfing everything in its path. Yet when it reached Konoha, the destructive force curved away, flowing around the village's perimeter. Flaming waves encircled the barrier but failed to breach it.
Konoha was spared.
But beyond it…
True hell had descended.
A massive crater expanded under the violent impact, forming a sea of fire spanning several kilometers. Forests, lakes, and marshlands alike were consumed, melting into molten ruin.
And at the very center.
Danzo Shimura.
The ambitious conspirator who possessed Mangekyō Sharingan and Hashirama's cells, who dreamed of seizing absolute power,
Was obliterated first.
Crushed into blood mist.
Leaving nothing behind.
