"It's just that he pisses me off."
"Mm-hmm, I get it."
Without exposing someone's lack of honesty, Furina gently raised her hand. The next moment, the water sphere trapping Danzo suddenly shot straight upward, vanishing into the clouds in the blink of an eye.
"What are you planning?"
Kakashi, watching the water sphere disappear, couldn't help feeling puzzled. Maintaining a water sphere flying in the sky constantly consumed chakra. Although Furina had abundant chakra, she shouldn't waste it like this.
"I just thought of a place that's perfect for him. I'll take him there in a bit."
Hearing this, Kakashi nodded and didn't press further. Since there was clearly no intention of letting Danzo go, where he ended up next was the least important thing now.
"What are you planning to do next? If you're going to handle him first, how about I head back to report to the Hokage-sama and explain things for you? I'm sure after hearing the full story, the Hokage-sama will..."
"No need, Kakashi-sensei. If he's dead, he's dead. Just what I said earlier is enough to justify taking his life. There's nothing to explain.
Just tell Tsunade-sensei what happened here. I'll personally talk to Tsunade-sensei about the rest. You don't need to worry about it anymore."
Before Kakashi could finish, Furina interrupted him firmly, sounding as though she already had absolute confidence in what would come next.
"Mm, I understand."
Kakashi didn't insist. From what he knew of Furina, if she said this, she definitely had a plan for the aftermath. In that case, he wouldn't interfere.
...
"Where is this?"
Led by Furina, Uchiha Hikari, Shion, Fū, and the others followed her to the edge of a cliff. Below the cliff was a calm water surface.
No matter how much they looked left and right, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. It appeared to be just an ordinary river.
"Don't bother looking. There's nothing special here—it's just a normal river. The only thing is that someone once drowned themselves here, and that person was the original owner of Danzo's Mangekyo."
With those words, everyone understood why Furina had brought them here—to imprison Danzo in this place. Just thinking about it carried a sense of dark humor.
"OK, you've reached your destination. Down you go."
Under Furina's control, the water sphere imprisoning Danzo plummeted rapidly from the sky, aiming straight for the water surface below the cliff.
Although the descent was fast, it didn't create the huge splash one might expect. The moment the water sphere touched the surface, the two merged seamlessly, without a ripple—as if nothing had happened at all.
"I hope Elder Danzo likes this spot I specially found for him. After all, it took us quite some effort to locate it."
As she spoke, the water sphere fully blended into the water surface. Then Furina formed hand seals again, setting up a massive area-of-effect sealing jutsu based on the river to ensure no one could disturb Danzo's peaceful life here.
So thoughtful—no surprise there. Surely Danzo would be moved by her attention to detail.
"It's finally over. After wasting so much time, we need to hurry back. Kakashi-sensei has probably already told Tsunade-sensei, and we can't keep the sensei waiting any longer."
