The feared "Darkness of the Ninja World," Shimura Danzo, was fleeing desperately within his own base.
Watching Danzo flee like a dog, Gensou shook his head.
In the end, he was old, no longer the daring and aggressive man of his youth.
Even his philosophy of "supporting the great tree of Konoha from the shadows" had gradually been corrupted by power.
Konoha was in trouble, and he remained unmoved.
This perfectly illustrated the current behavior of Root under Danzo's leadership.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Gensou.
His purpose for coming here was simply to avenge a "traitor" but principled clan member.
Now, only one person remained.
With a flick of his toe, a kunai fell into Gensou's hand.
He looked in the direction Danzo had fled, seemingly moving slowly but in reality, the distance between them was closing rapidly.
Huff~ Huff~ Huff~ Danzo panted heavily.
Since the battle in the Land of Rain over ten years ago, where he was brutally beaten by Nagato, he had mostly been plotting in the shadows, rarely showing himself. It had been a long time since he felt the taste of battle, escape, or even death.
At this moment, it felt like the day he was pursued by the elite Cloud ninja led by the Kin and Gin Brothers.
But this time, there was no Hiruzen or even the actual Second Hokage to stay behind.
For countless nights, regretting that he had hesitated for a moment, and thus losing his chance at becoming Hokage, Danzo now knew that even if he could go back and say those words earlier, their meaning would have completely changed.
Occasionally turning his head, he looked nervously at the beast chasing him, Gensou, panting more heavily.
Seeing the distance between them closing, his face showed a determined look as he formed hand seals and shouted:
"Explode!"
Boom!
Behind him, a violent explosion sounded.
As a hidden base, Root was not only guarded by ninjas but also equipped with various traps.
Danzo's escape might have seemed random, but he was deliberately passing by various trap rooms.
As the leader of Root, he controlled the activation of these traps.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Trap after trap was triggered.
The vast Root base trembled violently with the continuous explosions.
The commotion was so great that many Konoha ninja in the village sensed it.
"That's the direction of the Root base."
Reading his favorite book, Kakashi turned to look towards the explosions.
Having experienced Root himself, he quickly recognized it.
"What's wrong, Kakashi?" asked Might Guy, eager for another sparring match with his friend.
"Something's happened. I hope it's not a big deal."
Kakashi put down his book, frowning as he and Guy headed quickly towards the Hokage's office.
Not just Kakashi, other Konoha ninja also reported the unusual activity.
Soon, under the orders of the Konoha high command, a large group of ninja headed towards the Root base.
Danzo's actions successfully drew the village's attention.
If he could hold out a little longer, the Konoha reinforcements he hoped for would arrive.
But the problem was that the traps he had hoped would slow Gensou were having little effect.
The most they did was tear Gensou's clothes a bit.
As for Gensou himself, he remained unscathed.
Soon, amidst Danzo's unwilling roar, Gensou caught up, stabbing the fleeing man several times.
As before, with Sharingan still in use, Danzo's body disappeared again.
When he reappeared, he put more distance between them and ran towards the base exit without looking back.
The following events became somewhat monotonous.
Gensou would catch up to Danzo, kill him, Danzo would reappear, and the cycle repeated several times.
Finally breaking out of the Root base, Danzo looked up at the scorching sun, feeling a strange sense of emotion, having been in the darkness for so long.
Until a familiar voice sounded behind him.
"After this, you'll only have one Sharingan left."
With those words, Gensou appeared behind Danzo.
Using the same kunai, he stabbed him in the heart again.
Danzo's body trembled as he used his last bit of strength to look at his right arm.
The once terrifying arm, covered with numerous Sharingan, now had most of them closed.
Only two remained open.
No, one was already closing slowly.
Danzo fell silent.
In his final moment, he glanced complexly towards Konoha before his body disappeared again.
As before.
Reappearing, Danzo had no courage to look back, continuing to flee miserably.
But he was ultimately too old.
"This is the last time."
Gensou said, appearing behind him, preparing to strike.
To his surprise, Danzo suddenly turned around.
No longer showing panic or fear, his face was now full of determination, coldness, and intense killing intent!
Thud!
Danzo lunged forward, thrusting his chest onto the kunai Gensou had just raised.
Grabbing Gensou's arm holding the kunai, Danzo's voice was both calm and frenzied:
"Gensou! Enemy of Konoha! Even if it costs my life, I'll drag you to hell with me!"
"Reverse Four Symbols Seal!"
Terrifying black blood instantly sprayed from Danzo's body.
Realizing he only had one Sharingan left, Danzo's mind cleared. Understanding that escaping Gensou was impossible, he decided to sacrifice himself.
Feigning an attempt to escape, he had actually abandoned his final chance at resurrection, using his body as bait.
When Gensou predictably caught up and struck, Danzo turned to trap him, decisively using the self-destructive Reverse Four Symbols Seal.
Just like Hiruzen using the Reaper Death Seal.
"Hiruzen! This time, like you, I'll sacrifice myself to take down a powerful enemy! Konoha..."
In his final moments, Danzo instinctively thought of his old friend.
But before he could think further.
Suddenly.
A powerful force broke his grip.
Danzo quickly looked up to see Gensou easily breaking free, retreating swiftly from the black blood without being touched.
"No!!!" Danzo's face was full of despair.
Gensou calmly commented:
"A final desperate move, a good idea."
"But useless."
