"Uchiha Yao, exactly how much... do you know?"
Danzo stared fixedly at the black-haired teenager, his killing intent tangible.
The other party knew about Shisui's Mangekyō, knew about Kotoamatsukami, and now even knew about the 10 Sharingan on his arm.
This guy was just a 12-year-old boy; why did he know so much? Who exactly told him?
"I told you, a lot. A lot. More than you can imagine!"
Yao's tone was relaxed.
"I know that these ten Sharingan, each one can activate Izanagi once!"
"And the duration of Izanagi is about one minute!"
"In this one minute!"
"You can risk your life freely, converting all reality unfavorable to you into nothing more than a dream!"
"I also know..."
Yao dragged out his tone slightly, his voice carrying a nearly cruel edge:
"Because you are not of the Uchiha clan, you need to form hand seals in advance to forcibly activate Izanagi!"
"Rabbit, Boar, Ram—those are the three seals, right, Lord Danzo?"
The Sharingan was a Kekkei Genkai unique to the Uchiha clan.
An Uchiha clan member with the Sharingan, like Yao, wouldn't need to form seals beforehand to activate Izanagi.
Just a glare would do!
But unfortunately.
Danzo was not an Uchiha; he needed to form seals in advance.
So.
As long as his arm was severed before he could form the seals, Danzo couldn't activate Izanagi!
And without activating Izanagi, once his right arm was severed, Danzo would completely lose the Sharingan on it.
This was the limitation of Izanagi! Or rather, Danzo's limitation!
"You even know that?"
Danzo trembled slightly.
"I told you, I know more than you imagine!"
Yao's tone was flat.
Danzo's strength was actually average; the trouble lay in Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō and the 10 Sharingan.
Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō possessed the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami.
And the 10 Sharingan were equivalent to 10 resurrection coins.
So the key to dealing with Danzo lay in how to counter Kotoamatsukami and those 10 Sharingan.
As long as these secrets were known, dealing with Danzo was simple.
Send a Wood Clone to consume the Kotoamatsukami genjutsu in advance.
Then chop off his right arm before he activates Izanagi.
Everything is OK!
It could be said.
To deal with Danzo, Yao had completely calculated Danzo to death!
From Kotoamatsukami!
To Izanagi!
From Shisui's Mangekyō right eye!
To these ten ordinary Sharingan!
Danzo's trump cards held no secrets before Yao!
Danzo fell silent, a bone-chilling cold rising from the bottom of his heart.
All his plans! All his trump cards! All his reliance... inside and out, completely seen through!
"Everything about this old man... you actually... know it all... Not unjust... Defeat... is not unjust!"
Danzo couldn't understand.
He had lived in seclusion all these years, acting with extreme secrecy.
All research and transplants involving the Sharingan and the First Hokage's cells were conducted in the deepest secret chambers of Root.
Uchiha Yao, this brat who grew up under his surveillance since childhood, where on earth did he learn all this?
Even more ironic was that he was the one monitoring Uchiha Yao, and Uchiha Yao was the one being monitored.
Yet...
He knew nothing about Uchiha Yao, while Yao knew him like the back of his hand!
This was too ironic!
"Can't figure it out?"
Yao smiled and shook his head. "It doesn't matter. Take this doubt with you to hell and think about it slowly!"
He couldn't possibly let Danzo go. Aside from anything else, just for Shisui's Mangekyō, Danzo had to die!
Yao didn't want anyone else to know about the secret of him obtaining Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō right eye for the time being.
"Brat... since you know so much... then you must recognize this jutsu too!!"
Danzo suddenly ripped open the clothes on his chest, revealing an aged chest covered in eerie black curse marks.
Those curse marks were like living things, emitting ominous chakra fluctuations.
"Evil brat... This old man will eliminate you, this scourge, for Konoha today! Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!!!"
The curse marks on Danzo's chest erupted with darkness that swallowed everything.
Black patterns crawled all over his body like a tide.
Wherever they passed.
All matter—flesh, robes, air, chakra...
Was twisted, pulled, and collapsed towards the black hole-like center!
Danzo turned himself into a sacrifice, attempting to drag everything around him, along with that hateful Uchiha Yao.
Together into the eternal darkness of the seal, perishing together!
Facing this sudden destructive seal, the corner of Yao's mouth curled up in an arc of near pity.
"Finally used the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing? What a pity..."
"Using this move in front of a Flying Thunder God user is adorably stupid!"
Whoosh!
The Flying Thunder God Technique activated.
Yao vanished without a trace.
"No!!!"
Seeing this, Danzo let out a desperate and furious roar.
He had risked everything to activate this mutually destructive jutsu, yet he failed to even touch the hem of the opponent's clothes.
Unwilling!
He was unwilling!
The pitch-black sealing sphere expanded rapidly, completely swallowing Danzo.
And subsequently enveloping Yamanaka Fu and the other Root ninja.
"No!!!"
"Ah!!!"
They only had time to scream before being swallowed by the darkness.
Boom!
The sphere of darkness shrank to the extreme and completely disappeared.
Leaving only a spherical imprint several meters in diameter and bottomless depth.
Danzo, along with his last few loyal subordinates, was completely swallowed and sealed by the forbidden jutsu he activated himself.
A few seconds later, space rippled slightly, and Yao quietly emerged.
"An unwilling death struggle, pity... it only adds to the mockery!"
Yao made a brief comment, his gaze sweeping over the wrecked Root base.
This "Root," which had once terrified countless people in Konoha, had been completely uprooted by his own hands today.
"Time to head to the main venue! There's still a big show waiting there!"
...
When Yao arrived at the Chunin Exam arena, it was already in chaos.
The Four Violet Flames Formation, like an inverted purple glass bowl, firmly sealed the central battlefield within.
The First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, generated countless twisted branches, relentlessly chasing and attacking the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen.
The Second Hokage, Senju Tobirama, moved like a ghost, using the Flying Thunder God Technique to launch flash raids within the limited space.
The Third Hokage struggled to cope, wielding the Adamantine Staff to fight one against two, but his footsteps were staggering, and he was completely at a disadvantage.
Outside the barrier.
The situation was equally critical!
The Sand and Sound ninja's offensive surged toward the audience stands and the arena like a tide, with screams and explosions ringing out incessantly.
From time to time, the roar of a giant snake could be heard echoing through the village.
Chaos!
Complete chaos!
Most Anbu and Jonin were tied down by enemy combatants.
The only Anbu near the barrier could only stand futilely on the perimeter, cheering for the Third Hokage: "Lord Hokage... hang in there!"
While fighting the Sand Jonin Baki, Kakashi shouted orders:
"Guy! Forget about the Third Hokage! Trust Lord Hokage! After all, he is the strongest Hokage in history!"
"Lee! The Sand is advancing too fast in the southeast corner; stop them!"
"Naruto! Sasuke! That dark-circled kid Gaara is the priority; don't let him go completely berserk!"
"Sakura, Tenten! There are elderly people and children trapped in the stands; go save them! Prioritize evacuating the villagers!"
"Hinata, go home immediately and make sure to ask the Hyuga clan leader to intervene!"
"Genma, Aoba! Don't waste time trying to break the Four Violet Flames Formation! Go to Anbu headquarters immediately to gather manpower!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
Upon receiving Kakashi's instructions, the Konoha ninja moved accordingly—intercepting, evacuating, calling for reinforcements...
The initially disorganized resistance quickly became orderly.
Yao's gaze pierced through the distorted purple barrier, landing on the battered Third Hokage.
A thought suddenly arose, filled with malicious amusement.
Since that old dog Danzo dared to play dirty with him, don't blame him for muddling the waters completely.
Yao activated the Transformation Jutsu.
Poof!
A puff of smoke cleared.
Yao had transformed directly into Danzo—wrapped in a dark kimono, right eye and right arm covered in bandages, with a sinister expression.
The next second.
"Danzo" vanished from his spot and appeared inside the Four Violet Flames Formation.
