****************
Silver-white flashes of light danced across the sky, leaving traces of lightning in every corner around the barrier.
In the next second, all the light came together into a burst of blooming feathers.
It was certainly a different kind of striking and beautiful display.
"Whew, I'm a little dizzy!" Colt landed on the ground.
Kaminari was subsequently swiped discarding the blood on it and then sheathed.
Colt couldn't help but sigh.
He was still too weak; using the [Flying Thunder God] hundreds of times in a row left him slightly disoriented.
However, the name was still fitting.
Such an attack was indeed his masterpiece.
At this moment, he had been teleporting through his feathers and swinging his sword full of lightning, at such a speed he did it hundreds of times before he stopped.
As his sigh faded, the Root ninja, who had stayed eerily still, suddenly burst like opened faucets.
"Argh"
"Wha-"
"AHH"
Each body had a different number of slash marks full of lightning, and as a result, a lot of blood was sprayed out.
Thunderstorm Dance, indeed.
Danzo was stunned, his mouth open in disbelief.
Just a second ago, he had been a powerful figure of Konoha with hundreds of Root operatives who would solely listen to him.
And now, his Root was… Gone.
Just like that...
*Argh*
Sounds of the bodies falling echoed suddenly as the Root ninjas collapsed one by one.
In the entire barrier, only Colt and Danzo were left facing each other.
A friendly smile adorned the boy's face, giving him an almost holy look under the sunlight.
In contrast, Danzo's aged face grew even uglier.
**********
By now, the noise from the Root base had alerted many of the ninjas in Konoha.
They all looked on with startled expressions.
Konoha had seen a similar barrier just a few months ago.
They started running to the place where the barrier was.
The few who arrived earlier were lucky enough to see Colt's stunning attack, but their expressions quickly changed.
This was serious – it was actually Root!
No matter what, Root was still a part of Konoha.
Killing so many Root ninjas in public…
Had Colt gone mad?
Among these ninjas, there were even some from famous clans.
"Hey, Inoichi, that's your son-in-law, right? Scary, isn't he?" Shikaku straightened up, no longer his usual lazy self.
"Y-yes..." Inoichi's voice shook, horrified by Colt's strength and daring persona.
"Shikaku, you're the smartest of us. Hurry up and think of something. I don't want my daughter to become a missing-nin!"
Inoichi panicked, knowing his precious daughter loved Colt deeply.
If Colt was forced to take this path, Ino would definitely follow him.
Glancing at their friend with pity, Chōza Akimichi and Shikaku understood him very well at this moment.
However…
They weren't much better off either.
After all, this same guy was the best friend of Shikamaru and Chōji.
"Don't worry. Since he dared to do this, it's very likely that Tsunade-sama has some plan. Try not to worry too much," Shikaku, as Konoha's current chief strategist, quickly identified the key points and explained the situation to his friend.
Hearing this, Inoichi thought about it for a bit, and then felt somewhat relieved.
**********
Inside the barrier, Danzo's hand shook slightly. But he still regained his composure.
"Kamiyo Colt, you openly attacked the Root ninjas' base, and inside of Konoha no less. Are you trying to betray the village?!"
Three question marks appeared above Colt's head.
Was Danzo seriously ill? Why ask such a question at a time like this?
Seizing this chance, Danzo unwrapped the bandage covering his right eye!
A Mangekyō Sharingan with a four-pointed shuriken pattern faced Colt.
"[Kotoamatsukami]!"
The Mangekyō spun rapidly, and Colt's expression suddenly became dazed.
As Danzo's Mangekyō changed back to a three-tomoe pattern, he burst into wild laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Kamiyo Colt! No matter how much of a genius you are, you were still meant to be used by me!"
Everyone outside the barrier looked on in confusion.
Has Danzo... gone mad?
"Come closer, and kneel down!" Danzo shouted, his voice filled with anger, and most importantly… excitement.
Although many of his subordinates had died, as long as he subdued Colt, everything would be worth it!
But... after a few seconds, Colt didn't move at all, which left Danzo confused.
"Kamiyo Colt, I said come and kneel before me!"
Afraid that Colt didn't know he was being addressed, Danzo repeated the command, using his full name.
"Stop barking. Don't waste your words; rabbits are just regular animals; they don't understand what you're saying." Colt's lazy voice came from behind.
Rabbits?
Only then did Danzo's expression change. He formed a hand seal to dispel the Genjutsu he realized he was under.
The real scene soon appeared to him.
At his feet, a rabbit had appeared at some point, affectionately rubbing against him.
It turned out that the target of his [Kotoamatsukami] wasn't Colt, but a rabbit.
From the perspective of the onlookers, Danzo had suddenly revealed a Sharingan in his eye that was supposed to be blind and stared at the rabbit for a while.
Then he started yelling.
Colt had known about the existence of [Kotoamatsukami] for a long time. As such, how could he not guard against it?
Although his current Mangekyō was said to be at the Eternal level, the [Kotoamatsukami] technique had been hyped too much in the past so he didn't want to take any risks.
Someone in his past life had even claimed that the [Kotoamatsukami] could even directly control Kaguya.
He didn't know about that one but…
To be safe, Colt had decided to let Danzo use this trump card first.
There was also one in Itachi's possession, which must also be destroyed so that Colt could finally rest at ease.
As for the rabbit… it was just a rabbit he had bought from the market on his way here.
Throwing a shuriken, Danzo killed the rabbit under Colt's regretful gaze.
He had bought it for 800 ryo and was planning to take it home and enjoy a nice dinner.
Danzo, on the other hand, looked at Colt angrily.
These young people these days had no honor!
He had even tricked a seventy-year-old man!
More and more people gathered outside the barrier.
Even Hiashi rushed over with a group of Hyuga clan members, looking at Colt worriedly.
But Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado didn't appear.
Tsunade's delay tactic had worked as expected.
Today, Colt not only wanted to completely eliminate Danzo but also bring him down publicly.
And Danzo had reached the same conclusion – he had no way out.
"[Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere]!"
A continuous stream of small air projectiles spat from his mouth, like bullets.
The advantage of the Wind Style was its intangibility, making it extremely difficult to dodge.
Danzo's Wind Style prowess wasn't well known, but he had great mastery in it.
Unfortunately, no ninjutsu could escape Colt's Sharingan.
Under his dynamic vision, all the attacks were easily avoided, and ended up hitting the barrier with a 'Zizi' sound.
At that moment, two shurikens wrapped in Wind Style chakra flew towards him.
Colt grabbed [Kaminari] and smashed one directly.
Taking advantage of the situation, he inserted [Kaminari] into the center of the other shuriken. A trace of playfulness flashed in Colt's eyes as he threw it out like lightning!
The distance between the two was only ten meters, and with his strength, the shuriken reached Danzo in the blink of an eye.
At the critical moment, Danzo could only instinctively raise his right arm to defend.
The sharp chakra cut straight through the bandage.
After a sound of metal clashing, the solid metal brace also cracked layer by layer.
And the secrets inside were exposed to everyone!
The ninja watching the battle widened their eyes in shock!
'This is...'
"So many Sharingans?!"

****************
Danzo's face paled.
In actual fact, possessing a single Sharingan wasn't a major pressing issue for him or one that he couldn't spin his way.
After all, hadn't Kakashi wandered carelessly around with one for over a whole decade until he was famous for it in the whole world?
As the secretive Root's shadowy leader, and lurking darkness of the ninja world, quietly acquiring one from an Uchiha shouldn't be a particularly worrying deal, right?
But when his grotesque arm was suddenly exposed to everyone present, Danzo knew that things went terribly and horribly wrong.
Even if controversial human experiments were covertly conducted, these disturbing things simply couldn't be carelessly revealed to the unsuspecting public.
Danzo could clearly see that many influential ninja clan leaders had already noticeably changed the way they looked at him.
Hiashi even took a few determined steps forward, his piercing eyes filled with seething anger.
The prestigious Hyuga clan had been warily facing covetous external threats since the chaotic Warring States tumultuous era.
In the cutthroat ninja world, their unique eyes weren't merely seen as ordinary organs, but as powerful ninja tools.
Easily swappable, transferable even.
Long ago, the ambitious Kirigakure had been secretly given a precious Hyuga eye and they carefully treated it as a priceless treasure.
More recently, Kumogakure hadn't hesitated to brazenly sacrifice an important envoy, nearly recklessly provoking a destructive war to forcibly obtain the coveted Byakugan.
If it weren't for his younger brother Hyuga Hizashi's noble sacrifice, who really knew where he'd be right now?
If Danzo could ruthlessly target the powerful Uchiha clan today, what was stopping him from viciously going after them tomorrow? If Danzo knew what Hiashi was angrily thinking, he would have desperately cried out in protest.
He only truly cared about the rare Hashirama cells and the powerful Sharingan! The common Byakugan was completely useless to him!
But no one would listen to his arguments now.
Colt also felt disgusted, almost developing a phobia of eyeballs, but he instantly entered his role, righteously scolding:
"Danzo! As Tsunade-sama said, you've actually performed despicable human experiments and maintained contact with Orochimaru!"
That's right, he was going to nail Danzo to the pillar of shame and never look back!
"Nonsense! This old man is simply making the best use of everything around. Since the Uchiha clan has perished, their eyes on me can be considered a contribution to Konoha's strength!" Danzo was still struggling, knowing he must paint himself as righteous, for Konoha's sake.
"As for Orochimaru, it's entirely wrong, if I see that snake, I'll kill him instantly!"
"Heh, a contribution to Konoha?" Colt snorted.
"Then I want to hear, what contribution have you, Danzo, made to Konoha?"
"On the night of the Nine-Tails' attack, where were the Root ninjas? On the day Orochimaru invaded Konoha, where were the Root ninjas?"
"Is that how you contributed to Konoha?"
Simple lies don't hurt people, but truth cuts like a knife.
Colt's words were like sharp blades, stabbing into everyone's hearts.
Indeed, during so many major events, the Root ninjas were nowhere to be seen.
On the contrary, whenever Konoha managed to acquire something, Root often profited greatly.
After pondering this, everyone looked at Danzo not only with suspicion but also with a touch of disgust.
No one likes someone who talks about righteousness and Konoha constantly, but never actually does anything.
Colt's eyes glazed over for a moment, and his anger rose even more.
"Danzo! Today, I am ordered by the Fifth Hokage, on behalf of all the ninjas you have persecuted, to end you here!"
After speaking, his body blurred into an afterimage as he rushed forward.
Danzo's eyes narrowed, and the ten Sharingan on his arm spun simultaneously as he waved his kunai to meet Colt.
But his movements were too slow. Colt dodged the kunai with his small stature and stabbed at Danzo from the opposite direction.
Danzo continued to form hand seals as if nothing had happened.
[Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves]
Colt flew back, knowing that Danzo had already activated Izanagi.
Of course, all his wind attacks did not land on him at all.
[Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique]
With his right hand at his mouth, Colt spat out three fire dragons.
Danzo's eyes darkened. For him now, there was only one thing in his eyes: killing Colt!
He would not rest until he fulfilled that.
He used the [Body Flicker Technique], suddenly appearing behind Colt, the kunai in his hand stabbing fiercely!
However, a blue skeletal ribcage materialized between them.
*Clang*
Colt's movements weren't slow at all. The chakra-enhanced Kaminari became Susanoo's weapon, and he stabbed Danzo, creating another hole in him.
Danzo's body flickered, and he appeared in the distance as if nothing had happened.
"Susanoo..."
As the person who hated the Uchiha the most, he naturally knew this technique.
This meant that Colt had awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan.
An eye on Danzo's arm slowly closed. He had used Izanagi.
The onlookers were shocked. What kind of Jutsu was this, actually materializing such terrifying chakra into reality?
And how did Danzo escape death?
Colt smiled.
'Ten, no, eleven eyes?'
Then let Danzo experience true despair for eleven times.
Susanoo dissipated, and Colt charged forward again, engaging Danzo in close combat.
Seizing an opening, he kicked Danzo directly into the air.
[Lightning Style: Chidori]
His right hand, crackling with lightning, pierced Danzo's chest.
"It's useless, Kamiyo Colt. You can't kill me at all!"
Danzo appeared behind Colt and launched two more Wind Style techniques.
A Flying Thunder God kunai flew into the distance. Colt smiled and held up two fingers.
"Two, Danzo. You've experienced two ways to die."
"Don't worry, there are more waiting for you next."
His hands formed a seal, revealing a strange hand sign.
[Wood Style: Nativity of a World of Trees]
The ground shook as dense trees burst forth, instantly transforming the entire battlefield into a forest!
The twisting tree trunks seemed to have their own consciousness, constantly chasing Danzo, and restricting his movements.
Caught off guard, he was severely entangled and fell into the forest's siege.
"Wood Style! By the gods! Your son-in-law has awakened the Wood Style Kekkei Genkai!"
Shikaku shouted in astonishment. Not only him, but countless others became restless.
The Wood Style that had dominated the ninja world during the First Hokage's era had finally reappeared!
