After sealing the small Nutrition capsule containing the pair of Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan inside a storage scroll, Kuroto put the scroll inside his Kimono and then step-by-step walked towards Danzō.
At this time, all the madness and ruthlessness from Danzō's head had disappeared, and his face was filled with panic and embarrassment as he crawled on the ground with difficulty, moving away little by little, struggling meaninglessly.
As Danzō was crawling, his back was exposed and everyone could see the stab mark and the decayed flesh around the stab, the decay was clearly visible and it was constantly spreading.
The same is true for Danzō's arm as well, in fact, the condition of his arm is worse as the scope of the wound on his severed arm is much more compared to the stab wound on the back, so his entire shoulder and chest are affected by the decay.
"Why? Why is this injury not healing? Before, even if my chest was pierced, the wound easily healed, but why is this wound not healing?!" Danzō murmured with a frustrated expression.
As Kuroto approached the crawling Danzō, he explained in a calm tone, "I told you before… this small black ball in my hand may look simple and fun to play with, however, it is one of the most dangerous things in this Shinobi World, it is made up of all the seven chakras… if touched by this little thing, anything will disintegrate, there's basically no counter unless the thing that touches it possesses Six Path Chakra which you clearly don't… so your body is no exception."
Danzō was stunned upon hearing Kuroto's words, earlier when Kuroto said this, Danzō felt that maybe Kuroto was bluffing and he would be able to escape the crisis if his eyes evolved but now that he clearly understands the implication of Kuroto's words, he suddenly realized something, "In the first attack… you deliberately retrained yourself and avoided severely injuring me?"
Having lost the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzō's emotions were no longer influenced by those eyes, he was able to get past his greed and think objectively as he understood all of Kuroto's actions.
"Yes." Kuroto nodded lightly, and explained, "If you felt your life disappearing, you would have immediately used Izanagi… I didn't want that."
Exactly as Kuroto said, in the first attack he made on Danzō, Kuroto made sure to retrain himself to some degree and avoided immediately killing him because Danzō would have felt his life force disappearing and he wouldn't have hesitated for even an instant to use Izanagi. If Danzō had used Izanagi, then the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan would have been destroyed and Kuroto didn't want that.
So, Kuroto made a small attack that would slowly decay Danzō from the inside and while that happened, he distracted Danzō with talks to ensure that Danzō didn't notice anything inside his body.
This was a foolproof plan, and Kuroto was sure that it would succeed because anyone who has touched the Truth-Seeking Orbs can not survive unless they possess the Six Path Chakra.
Danzō may have survived the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual and acquired Yin-Yang chakra, but it was only enough to the point that he would be able to awaken the Rinnegan, not enough to survive the decay caused by the Truth Seeking Orbs.
It can be said that the moment Danzō was touched by the Truth-Seeking Orbs, he had already lost the battle, and the countdown of his last breaths had already started. Even if Danzō had succeeded in awakening the Rinnegan, he wouldn't have been able to revert the decay in his body caused by the Truth-Seeking-Orbs and would have perished either way… In fact, this was Kuroto's plan to weaken Danzō in that situation in order to easily deal with him. Thankfully, Danzō didn't awaken the Rinnegan and the plan went on smoothly.
Understanding the ins and outs of the matter, Danzō couldn't help but smile miserably, "So it turns out that rather than being afraid of me, you were afraid of the possibility that I might ruin those eyes through the use of Izanagi?!"
Kuroto nodded, "Yes."
Hearing Kuroto's acknowledgment Danzō felt that the real reason why he lost this battle was not because of Kuroto or somebody else, rather it was because of his own greed… If instead of greedily absorbing Homusubi's Visual Prowess on that battlefield because of his overconfidence in his strength, he had chosen to steal her eyes and run away and secretly absorbed the Visual Prowess, then the result would have been completely different. His greed and obsession were the cause of his downfall.
"You deliberately allowed me to absorb Uchiha Tsukihi's Visual Prowess…" he paused, and recalling Tsukihi's odd behavior while he helped her by the throat, he suddenly realized, "No… rather than you… it can be said that it was Tsukihi who tempted me by allowing me to absorb her Visual Prowess and affected my judgment…"
Only now did he realize that rather than him capturing her, she allowed him to catch her and do whatever he wanted without putting much resistance. Initially, Danzō was confused, but he attributed this to his strength and focused on absorbing her Visual Prowess… But now that he thinks about it, he finally understands everything. It turns out that from the very beginning, he was dancing in the palms of Amatsukami members!
Thinking of this, Danzō asked inexplicably, "Why?! Why do these Uchiha shinobi and the other members of Amatsukami follow you so selflessly? This is completely unreasonable… the one they should be loyal to is me…not you! So why? Answer me!"
Before Kuroto could say anything, Shisui interrupted, "Because unlike you, Kuroto-san doesn't want to spread terror over the Shinobi World! He is not driven by greed and he doesn't desire power! And most of all, unlike who only cares about himself, he is trying to protect Konoha and the Shinobi world."
Danzō angrily shouted at Shisui, "Shut up! I am Konoha's Hokage! Only I can save Konoha, you damn Uchihas are ruining everything… you idiots should be obeying my orders, not him!"
"Humph… only in your dreams." Both Shisui and Itachi snorted at Danzō's claim.
Seeing the three of them arguing, Kuroto chuckled lightly, then instructed Shisui and Itachi, "Since this matter has been resolved, the two of you should go back to the village… I will take care of the aftermath here."
Shisui glanced at unconscious Tsukihi lying on the ground and asked, "Kuroto-san… do we need to take back Tsukihi with us for treatment at Konoha Hospital?"
Kuroto shook his head, "No, she can't be treated in the village… I will personally take care of her treatment, don't worry about it."
"All right then." – said Shisui, without asking anything, both Shisui and Itachi used their own means and disappeared from the sinking island.
After Shisui and Itachi left, Kuroto turned toward Danzō and said, "Shimura Danzō, to be honest, I am quite grateful to you… All things considered, although you were a major headache and irritated me on several occasions, you were still a good pawn and helped me understand the loopholes as well as hidden dangers of the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual."
Hearing this, Danzō was taken aback, "It turns out that the one behind all that was you, not Uchiha Tsukihi!"
Danzō always thought that the ones interested in the ceremony were only Fujin and later Homusubi, only now is he realizing that even Hyuga Kuroto is also interested in the ceremony.
Kuroto chuckled and explained, "I think you are misunderstanding something… Fujin and Tsukihi were only acting as per the instructions I gave them… from the very beginning, I was the only one interested in this ceremony… From the day Fujin approached you with the intention of selling the Chimera Jutsu as well as the Chimera Buds, to the moment when Uchiha Tsukihi continued the research in place of Fujin to the final moments when the ritual was completed… all of that was done according to my instructions. All I needed was a pawn who had enough funds and was foolish enough to take the risk… your greed for power was the only thing I needed to manipulate you to make you do what I wanted from you… So you see, you were never meant to be anything more than a pawn, and I must say, you outlived your value."
His tone was flat as if he was in the middle of after-meal talks.
Although Kuroto said all of this flatly, however, when Danzō heard all of this, his heart turned cold. He always thought that he was the one using Amatsukami and Orochimaru, but only now did he realize that the young man standing in front of him was the real mastermind pulling all the strings. And Hyuga Kuroto controlled him like a donkey.
No, it should be more accurate to say that Danzō was only a pawn who was used as a pavement to further build the road of godhood.
Realizing this, Danzō was horrified and couldn't help but question, "But… why… why are you telling me all of this?!"
"Yeah… about that…" Kuroto waved his hand as several Truth-Seeking Orbs appeared around his hand, and while playing with those black orbs, he answered Danzō's question, "This is your reward for helping me explore the road… cherish it as I am going to make you completely disappear after this."

Danzo may have lost his vision, but he can still perceive the chakra fluctuations in the vicinity.
When he felt high-intensity chakra fluctuations caused by the Truth-Seeking Orbs floating around Kuroto, he suddenly understood that Kuroto might not let him go alive; he said, "I used to think that Hyuga Clan is nothing more than a useful shinobi clan who would never be able to become anything beyond their mediocre levels. For a monster like you to appear in the Hyuga Clan, I really find it unbelievable… Are you really Hyuga?" He asked, but without waiting for Kuroto to answer, he continued, "In the final analysis, it doesn't really matter whether you are even a Hyuga or not… what I am really impressed from all that you have done is despite becoming such an unfathomable existence, you still have the consciousness of a Shinobi… you are able to not let arrogance affect you and can maintain vigilance in your heart… Hyuga Kuroto, losing to you, I don't feel wronged…" He paused here, and then roared, "However, I am also Shimura Danzo… Konoha's Godaime Hokage and the leader of Root! If I am going to die here… I am going to at least take you with me!"
As he shouted, suddenly blood on his body flowed like ink and took the form of Fuinjutsu symbols.
Kuroto looked at the Fuinjutsu symbols and muttered disdainfully, "Only Reverse Tetragram Seal? Do you really think that you can seal me… one of the best Fuinjutsu masters with this simple Fuinjutsu?" then without waiting for Danzo's response, he waved his hand lightly, controlling two Truth-Seeking Orbs to fly out and hit Danzo before he could completely activate 'Reverse Tetragram Seal'.
Bang! Bang!
Low muffled sound echoed in the surroundings as Danzo collapsed on the ground, the place on his body where the two Truth-Seeking Orbs hit him was pierced and the surrounding flesh and blood instantly became ashen.
Needless to say, Danzo can't resist the decaying effect of Truth-Seeking Orbs.
Cough Cough Collapsed on the ground, Danzo coughed out blood as the symbols of the 'Reverse Tetragram Seal' disappeared from his body.
Looking at Danzo's state, Kuroto couldn't help but sigh, 'The vitality provided by Shodaime Hokage-sama's cells is really miraculous…' Danzo's entire body is decayed from the inside, there are also two holes in his chest, yet he hasn't died.
Cough-cough After coughing out blood, Danzo who was lying on the ground said, "Hyuga Kuroto… do you really think that if you kill me, no one will know your secrets?"
Kuroto was a little interested in what Danzo had to say at this time and decided to play along for a while, "What do you mean?"
Danzo felt like Kuroto had taken the bait, and said quickly, "You should be aware of the Edo Tensei Jutsu… I know so many secrets of Konoha, and even my strength is quite good in other's eyes… I am certain, someone will definitely try to revive me using Edo Tensei in the future… if that were to happen, you and your Amatsukami Organization's secrets will definitely be exposed to the entire Shinobi World!"
Hearing Danzo's warning, Kuroto became silent… he wasn't afraid, rather, he felt like he was looking at an idiot.
Danzo obviously didn't know Kuroto's thoughts, he felt as if Kuroto was fooled and decided to strike while the iron was still hot, "I can assure you to keep all your secrets, as long as… as long as you are willing to let me go… Don't kill me, and I promise to never reveal anything about you or your Amatsukami Organization to the Shinobi World. You people can continue to hide in Konoha and can continue to do whatever you want; I will say nothing… just… just let me go!"
Hearing Danzo's words, Kuroto really felt pity, "Shimura Danzo… you may not have officially become Konoha's Hokage, you were still a temporary replacement… don't you feel embarrassed begging like this, or have you given up even the last bit of your dignity?"
Cough-cough Danzo coughed out blood, and shouted in anger, "Embarrassment or dignity is not important… I just can't die here… I still need to revive the village to its glory… without me, Konoha will never be able to become strong! How can I die here!?"
"Hehe… do you think that as long as you continue to say 'for the sake of the village' you can fool anyone including yourself? And do you really think Konoha needs you? In my opinion, Konoha is better off without a moth like you who does nothing but eat Konoha's vitality from the inside." Kuroto said with a chuckle, and added, "Where were you during the Kyuubi's attack when Yondaime Hokage-sama and his wife died? Where were you when the Akatsuki attacked Konoha and flattened up the entire village? All that time, you remained hidden and watched as Konoha was destroyed time and time again, too afraid to do anything… Let alone a former elder, you didn't even do your duty as a Konoha Shinobi… and you talk about reviving Konoha to its glory?"
"It doesn't matter what you think… only I can revive Konoha… only I can…!" Danzo said this and wanted to continue, but this time, Kuroto didn't give Danzo any chance and attacked Danzo with all the Truth-Seeking Orbs at once.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Immediately, Danzo's entire body was filled with several holes and turned into ash.
After finishing up Danzo, Kuroto looked at his ash lying on the ground and muttered in disdain, "I have never seen such a delusional person before." Then shaking his head, he dispersed all the Truth-Seeking Orbs and released the Tenseigan Chakra Mode. After that, he turned around and started to walk away.
As for Danzo's last threat? Kuroto didn't take that to heart at all. Obviously, Kuroto would be careful and make sure to not make such a low-level mistake… when he dealt with Danzo, he also destroyed the other party's spiritual body… With this the chapter of Danzo has come to an end, now he will never come back to the Shinobi World, not even as an Edo Tensei.
With that done, Kuroto scanned the island with his Tenseigan, and after making sure that everything was clear, he flew high into the sky while carrying Tsukihi's body and sunk the entire Toto Island into the ocean using a powerful Shinra Tensei.
Next, he flew to Yagura's side who had been diligently covering the surroundings in an illusion mist all this while, and instructed him, "I have killed Shimura Danzo, although that's done, however, I don't want the unrelated party to know that it was done by Amatsukami… so, you arrange some shinobi from your village and lead them to pursue Danzo who has 'fled' in the direction of Land of Jungle via the Land of Ocean after crossing the Nagi Islands… Create an illusion of him still being alive and fleeing in the Land of Jungle… later, we will spread rumors that Shimura Danzo has disappeared in the deserts of the Land of Wind."
Yagura couldn't understand why Kuroto wanted to create such an illusion, but he nodded, "All right, I will arrange it."
With Yagura's nod, Kuroto nodded and then disappeared into the skies.
Yagura looked into the sky as Kuroto disappeared, and then his attention turned toward the huge wave caused by the sinking of Toto Island.
By now, Toto Island had completely sunk into the ocean, and along with the island, all the traces of the battle on Toto Island also disappeared.
…
Boom!
Thunder and Lightning rumbled in the sky as Terumi Mei and her party rushed toward Toto Island.
Despite the heavy rain and high waves in the sea, they weren't stopping or slowing down and rushed full speed ahead.
At this time, their hearts were heavy… When they became aware of Danzo's actions on the mainland, everyone, especially Mei became worried about the safety of Yondaime Mizukage.
Her current mood was just like the gloomy and grey sky, filled with worry, as she determined herself, "I will never allow the repetition of the same mistakes! Kirigakure can't become someone else's tool again!"
After a few hours of travel, the party finally arrived at the location where Toto Island is located, however, they were confused to find nothing but the boundless sea in front of them. There was no sign of Toto Island! For a moment, many even wondered whether they had strayed from their path and come to the wrong location because of the heavy storm.
While everyone was confused, at this time, a giant turtle appeared out of the ocean, and as Yagura walked out of its mouth, he said to the Kirigakure shinobi, "There is no need to search for it… the Toto Island has sunk."
"What?!" everyone was stunned. Mei quickly recovered from the shock, and hurriedly asked, "Yagura-sama… are you… are you all right?!"
Yagura nodded with a heavy expression, "Yes… just a little tired… but it's a pity that Danzo managed to escape."
At the mention of Danzo, Mei's hair stood up, she instructed the sensor shinobi beside her to check Yagura's state while she personally asked him, "Yes… Mizukage-sama… what happened to Danzo?"
Yagura step-by-step walked downward while explaining, "Danzo wanted to control me… but because of Isobu's interference, he failed… after that, I fought with Danzo, however, he didn't seem to be able to display all his strength because of injuries and chakra depletion… It also felt as if he was afraid of someone coming after him… In that state, our battle continued but after a while, he might have felt that he won't be able to control me, so he gave up on that idea and left after trying to kill me by destroying Toto Island. Again, I was able to survive because of Isobu, so there is nothing to worry about."
While Yagura explained, Mei glanced at the Sensor shinobi beside her.
The sensor shinobi lightly nodded, implying that they didn't have to worry about Yagura being under someone else's control.
After this confirmation, Mei breathed a sigh of relief, as they dealt with the aftermath of the destruction of Toto Island.
