Danzo's sudden actions made Homusubi confused, initially, she thought that Danzo had recovered back his senses, but now that she sees him again, she is not so sure…
As far as she knows, Danzo is a veteran Shinobi who would never show the unease and nervousness of a greenhorn, yet there were clear signs of unease, nervousness, and anxiousness on his face that only a novice would show, and this made Homusubi frowned.
After some thinking and observation, Homusubi felt that rather than recovering his senses, Danzo, as a person has completely changed… It's as if, even if his outer body is still the same until a while ago, the soul inside his body is not the same, it is completely different.
Tsukihi muttered, "Is he trying to put up an act in order to deceive me? Or is something really wrong with his soul?"
Watching Danzo escape, Homusubi hesitated…
Homusubi wants to take away the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in Danzo's eyes sockets… so, in her eyes, Danzo is nothing more than prey. But she doesn't want to forget that the same situation applies to her, in Danzo's eyes, she too is prey!
If Homusubi manages to get Danzo's Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and obtain the Rinnegan, it would just be an extra ace up her sleeve, however, if Danzo manages to take away her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and awaken the Rinnegan, then that will be much bigger trouble for not only her but for everyone living in the Shinobi World… Knowing this, Homusubi obviously can't take a risk and will have to be extremely careful… Hence the hesitation.
If it is exactly as she thought, then perhaps she will be able to take away that pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with quite an ease, but if not, and if Danzo manages to pull up a reverse UNO, then the situation will take a bad turn for everyone.
"What to do?"
By the time Homusubi recovered from her thoughts, Danzo had already escaped from the cave.
Seeing that Danzo is no longer in sight, Homusubi regretted a little being too lost in thought, she then looked around and saw that Orochimaru is also not present where his body lay until a while ago, she muttered, "No surprises there, Orochimaru is still alive…"
Knowing full well that the longer she stays inside this volcano, the more dangerous her situation will become, she also dashed out of the cave…
…
Outside the Volcano.
Watching the hundreds of meters tall volcano exploding and collapsing, the one-eyed silvered-haired shinobi showed a despairing expression.
In the face of such a level of disaster, Kakashi feels powerless...
And what's worse is that he has felt this sense of powerlessness over and over again in his life without being able to do anything about it at all!
Back when his father committed Suicide; when his friend and squad mate Obito died; when his other friend and squad mate Rin died, and when his sensei sacrificed himself, all those times, Kakashi felt helpless.
Whenever he remembers those painful memories, Kakashi regrets, and wonders, 'If only…'
And now that over a thousand Konoha Shinobi are about to die here, in front of his very eyes, Kakashi feels the same powerlessness, even if he wants to do something to save them, he doesn't know how to save over a thousand shinobi in such a short period of time.
Even if he has gotten much stronger compared to those times, even if has become much more resourceful compared to those times, right now, at this very moment, he still feels the same powerlessness he felt back then and doesn't seem to have a way to save the lives of people in front of him.
As he was struggling to figure out a solution, Kakashi looked around and saw despair in the eyes of all the Konoha Shinobi.
The only good thing about the current situation is that no Root Shinobi is present around to stop him or hinder him from doing anything.
Seeing the disaster coming towards them, all the Root shinobi who were fighting him and stopping him up until now have escaped without giving a shit about what happened to all the Konoha Shinobi still present at the foot of the volcano.
For those Root Shinobi, if all these Konoha shinobi were to die, then it is not necessarily a bad thing as the inhuman actions performed by them will get buried here along with these fifteen hundred men.
As for whether their wishes will be granted or not is all up to Kakashi.
In fact, if he has to save just himself, then Kakashi is not worried; all he has to do is teleport away, and he will be safe…
But Kakashi can't bring himself to abandon them… His father, his sensei, heck, he himself will never be able to forgive him if he were to abandon them…
And so, he hardened his heart, "I must save them… and I can do so with the help of Flying Raijin if I become as quick as Sensei… If sensei can do it… Then so can I… I… I... just need to have faith in myself!"
With such words, Kakashi suppressed the despair in his heart and inspired himself. With a resolute expression, he weaved the hand signs and… Poof… created five Shadow Clones…
After that, he threw dozens of Kunai marked with the Flying Raijin seal and threw them on the battlefield in an array…
With the preparation made, Kakashi ordered all his Shadow Clones one simple task, "Bring them all to near the markers, and I will teleport them…"
The five Shadow Clones nodded, and with that, the figure of the original Kakashi turned into images.
Woosh… Woosh… Woosh… Woosh… Woosh…
The Chakra Transmission Array that sealed the movements of Konoha Shinobi flickered constantly, and each time it flickered, a Konoha Shinobi was teleported far away…
…
On the other side.
While Kakashi was trying to put his all and save the lives of Konoha Shinobi, a figure jumped out of the volcano and collapsed on the ground not far away.
The area he fell at conveniently happened to be surrounded by several masked shinobis who were part of the Root.
The Root shinobis saw the man, and exclaimed in worry and excitement, "Hokage-sama!"
That's right, this man is none other than the very same 'Hokage-sama!'
However, the 'Hokage-sama' didn't act according to what the Root Shinobi expected of him, their leader, 'Hokage-sama' or better yet 'Shimura Danzo' looked uneasy and immediately used Swift Release and Crystal Release Justus to slaughter the leader of the unit, and after doing that, he didn't even waste a second before he rushed out and disappeared into the dark.
The remaining ones were taken aback by the actions of their 'Hokage-sama!', they stopped all their movements and looked at each other in shock and fright as an unexpected silence dawned upon them.
As this event occurred, a snake slid out of the hole in a tree not far away and looked in the direction where Danzo disappeared with a doubtful expression. The snake here was unable to understand the reason why Danzo killed his own man and ran away… this made no sense…
While giving it some thought, the snake used Body Flicker Jutsu and followed after him.
Earlier, he was knocked unconscious inside the volcano, but was able to regain consciousness soon enough. Even after he recovered, he didn't act recklessly knowing full well that he might die.
But of course, he wouldn't let Danzo escape so easily as Danzo has what Orochimaru wants, therefore, when Danzo escaped, Orochimaru closely followed and is going to do the very same thing right now in the hopes that he might get his opportunity soon enough.
But the fate be damned…
Not long after Danzo escaped the Volcano, he ran into the Kumogakure shinobis who were being led toward the Volcano by the Raikage.
Looking at the familiar yet not-so-familiar face of Shimura Danzo, Raikage frowned, however, he didn't forget to shout at the man, "Where is my shinobi, Danzo?!"
Looking at the Kumogakure shinobis surrounding him, Danzo panicked, and with a quick flash, he tried to escape.
Whoosh…
Zizizi… Zizi… Zi
But unlucky for Danzo, Raikage was faster and landed his fist on the face of the 'old man'.
Bang… sound echoed.
Raikage himself fell back for he didn't expect Danzo's speed to be so fast…
But he is Raikage after all, so he was able to get up soon enough and angrily shouted at him, "Damn you Danzo… did you use the same Jutsu on yourself?"
Danzo did not answer Raikage's question, instead, he slowly got up from the ground, and while wiping the blood coming from his nose, he said to Raikage, "I don't want to kill anyone… don't force me!"
Raikage had his answer and thinking of that boy… thinking of the boy's family, to whom Raikage will have to answer, Raikage grew furious, the nerves on his temple twitched, and he shouted, "A scum like you cannot be allowed to live!"

Boom…! Boom…! Boom…! Boom…! Boom…!
A series of explosions reverberated in the forest, and amidst these explosions, the figure of 'Danzo' dragged a series of afterimages and shuttled between the trees, herbs, and shrubs seemingly unharmed.
From time to time, his body would flicker, and every time it did, painful screams of Kumogakure shinobi would resound on the battlefield.
No one… No one among the Kumogakure squad except the Yondaime Raikage was able to keep up with Danzo's speed at this moment.
"Damn!"
Seeing his Shinobis being slaughtered by 'Danzo' one after another, and that too in his very presence, Yondaime Raikage grew furious by the minute, however, he was helpless.
Earlier, Ay was able to beat 'Danzo' in terms of speed and power, so he was confident that no matter what means 'Danzo' uses in the battle, the old man would be beaten by him… But as the battle started, Ay quickly realized how wrong he was!
True, he has mastered the Lightning Chakra Mode that gives him good reflexes, immense power, and most of all, speed, but, that speed seems to be nothing in the face of 'Danzo's' Swift Release!
Much less stopping Danzo, Raikage is finding it hard to be able to keep up with Danzo's speed.
Raikage wondered, 'How is it possible? Even Hiruko wasn't as fast as he is! Just how?!'
In fact, Raikage was finding the situation before him quite strange, Danzo's speed was too fast, fine, but what was up with his combat skills?
Oh… and for all those wondering that 'Danzo's' combat skills have also improved significantly along with his speed, don't… they haven't, rather, they, have degraded… degraded far too much…
Based on what Ay is seeing, it is as if 'Danzo' doesn't even know the first thing about combat… all he is relying on at this moment is his speed, which is quite strange and a matter to be frowned upon, but it is also a blessing at this moment for if that was not the case, the number of casualties his shinobis would have suffered at this moment would have been much more!
Whoosh…
Another flicker, another shinobi fell…
Thump… Plop…
As the blood of the shinobi splattered on his face, a strange expression dawned on Danzo's face. It seemed to be the joy, excitement, and pride that a new shinobi would have on succeeding in killing his enemies…
Raikage muttered to himself in confusion, "What the hell's going on?!"
Although he was unable to figure out the situation before him, this didn't stop him from doing his best to stop Danzo.
'Lightning Operation Horizontal!'
As Raikage used his Nin-taijutsu, an enormous amount of lightning gathered on his hand, and using his hand like a battle-ax made out of lightning, he slashed it towards Danzo creating a thunder blast!
Boom…!
Facing one of the most dangerous Nin-taijutsu of Ay, Danzo was unable to resist head-on and instantly flew out like a cannonball, slammed into trees creating holes in them, and finally smashed into the ground… creating a deep pit.
After delivering such a powerful and dangerous blow to Danzo, Raikage panted heavily, and after recovering, he turned towards Kumogakure Shinobi, and instructed, "Seal his body inside a scroll, and we will immediately be leaving the hinterlands of the Land of Fire."
Raikage did not worry whether 'Danzo' is really dead or not… Raikage has confidence that no one can survive such an attack after taking it head-on. In Raikage's eyes, Danzo is already a corpse!
"Understood Raikage-sama!" his shinobi nodded and got to work; they too were convinced that Danzo is dead after taking Raikage's 'Lightning Operation Horizontal!' head-on!
They couldn't have been more wrong…
As Kumogakure shinobi walked towards the pit where the supposed corpse of Danzo should be lying, they heard a sound…
Kacha…
It was the sound of a twig being stepped upon… and it definitely came from the pit…
The Kumogakure shinobi looked at each other's faces as the figure of Danzo walked out of the smoke step by step.
Although the Hokage robe he was wearing was tattered, his body had no signs of damage whatsoever.
Witnessing such an unrealistic situation before them, all the Kumogakure shinobi were taken aback…
"But how? How is this even possible?"
"What sort of monster has he become?!"
"Has he… Has he really become a perfect shinobi just like Hiruko of the five styles?"
Even Raikage was out of his wits and realized that he could no longer assess Danzo before him with the same eyes, the supposed old man standing before them had completely changed… he was no longer the same guy he used to be… he had become a monster, just like Hiruko.
As Danzo walked out of the smoke, his demeanor and aura were completely different from a while ago. It was as if the Danzo standing before them at this very moment was a completely different Danzo from a while ago. Although his expression was still a bit dignified, there was neither any trace of nervousness or anxiousness on his face nor was there anger or insidiousness hidden in his eyes.
'Danzo' glanced at the Kumogakure Shinobi surrounding him, then quickly formed the hand signs and shouted, 'Vapor Style: Solid Fog Jutsu!' as he released a large amount of acidic mist from his mouth.
The acidic mist quickly played its role, and the Kumogakure Shinobi who weren't prepared for such an attack started to suffer and cry out in pain and misery.
"My eyes… I… I can't see anything!"
"Aaahhhhh… my face is melting!"
"This is the Vapor Style of Kirigakure… everyone, use Wind Style to blow away the acidic mist, or we'll all be dead!"
After being reminded by one of their companion shinobi, the Kumo shinobi who could use Wind Style used their Jutsu to blow away the mist, while the rest tried to distance themselves from the mist.
But even with timely action, there were still a few casualties among the ranks of Kumogakure shinobis.
As the Kumogakure shinobis distanced themselves from the acidic mist, 'Danzo' also moved… and in the blink of an eye, he had already pierced and crushed the hearts of seven shinobis surrounding him.
Unlike before, this time his combat skills were not poor… and this shocked Ay, "How did he improve so much in such little time?"
Ay was able to feel it… 'Danzo' at this moment was completely different from 'Danzo' a while ago. The face and body of the man are still the same, however, he is a completely different person!
And while Ay was wondering in confusion, Danzo was doing his job.
With the help of Swift Release and Crystal Release, Danzo started a killing streak…
All the shinobi surrounding him were elites, however, these elites were being ruthlessly killed by him with ease.
One after another, shinobi fell, and the next number was of Dodai…
Dodai could see Danzo's eyes on him, and he understood that he was the next target, however, in the face of speed that could outrun the fastest Raikage, he knew he wouldn't be able to put up any resistance…
Seeing Danzo appear before him, Dodai closes his eyes, accepting his fate… he understands very well that he is going to die, but he doesn't plan to die a meaningless death…
He planned to create an opportunity for Raikage-sama using his life…
And so, he tried his best… and for a moment, it seemed to work… He didn't understand why, but strangely enough, Dodai was able to keep up with Danzo…
Ding Ding Ding Ding…
Their Kunai collided with one another… creating sparks of metal collision.
While having a heated battle with Danzo, Dodai was thinking of what he could do to create an opportunity for Raikage-sama, and just as he thought of a strategy, Danzo's movement came to an abrupt end, and he shouted, "Stop!"
Dodai, other Kumo Shinobis, as well as Ay, all were taken aback and looked at Danzo in confusion, and stated, "It's too late to beg for mercy Danzo…"
'Danzo' clutched his head, and shook his head painfully, "Stop it, it's not Danzo… It's me… me… Hamu!"
"Hamu?!"
Everyone was taken aback, be it Raikage, Dodai, or other Kumogakure Shinobi… More so, given the fact that 'Hamu' is the name of the boy who awakened the 'Storm Release' Kekkei Genkai and went missing not long ago.
Raikage took a step forward, the lightning surrounding him roaring fiercely as he questioned, "Danzo… are you trying to mock me?"
'Danzo' shook his head, and knelt on one knee as he replied, "Raikage-sama… It's really me, Hamu… this man's ritual had some flaw in it, which is why I am able to take control of his body at this moment… It is really me… please believe me!"
Yondaime glared at 'Danzo' for a moment, then said, "Prove it… prove that you are indeed Hamu."
'Danzo' questioned, "How?"
Ay said, "Tell me something that only the two of us know…"
Danzo thought for a while, then nodded, "On the night I awakene-…"
However, before he could continue any further, the sound of shinobis approaching them reached their ears.
'Danzo' got worried, and hurriedly said, "Raikage-sama… I will prove that I am indeed Hamu later, Right now, we must leave, more than fifteen hundred Konoha Shinobi were present near the volcano, and they are probably the ones approaching us… I don't know how many of them are still alive, but we can't risk being seen by them… we must leave, right now!"
