Chương 65: Chapter 65: Danzo’s Death

The raging wind scattered countless severed limbs and broken arms.

In a single blow, over half of the Root ninjas were reduced to minced meat. Aoba, in a moment of inspiration, used his Wind Style: Gale Palm to test the power of the Storm Wind Destruction Slash.

The results were remarkably effective. Against these cannon fodder, it was an excellent killing move.

But just as he landed, three corpses covered in a blue-purple hue flew towards him.

"Corpse Poison Technique."

Torune Aburame growled. The three corpses exploded simultaneously. This was his unique secret technique.

By gathering corpses and spreading poison insects within them, Torune activated a barrier that made the insects breed rapidly. The dead cells produced toxic gas, which was spread through explosions, attacking any creatures that came into contact with the poison mist.

"Water Style: Water Prison Jutsu."

At the moment of the explosion, Aoba had already completed the hand seals. A massive flow of water rose out of nowhere, enveloping the exploded corpses in a huge water ball and sealing the poisonous gases inside.

Then Aoba used a Swamp of the Underworld technique to sink the water ball hundreds of meters underground, preventing the poison from spreading.

"Secret Technique: Poison Dust Technique."

Torune attacked again, spewing a large cloud of poison.

This guy was indeed very powerful. Ordinary ninjas would be very passive when facing his poison techniques.

Though Aoba had contained the insects, the poison mist stored within Torune could still be used.

If this had been the old Aoba, he would have been disgusted and fled immediately.

But now...

"Fire Style: Grand Fireball Jutsu."

Explosive flames once again covered the battlefield.

"This guy must have an incredible amount of chakra," Fū, who was assisting from a distance, realized that they had underestimated the situation.

Up to now, Aoba had continuously used large-scale techniques like Great Fireball Jutsu, Dragon Flame Jutsu, Static Field, and Storm Wind Destruction Slash.

Yet the opponent's chakra showed no signs of depleting. Both his physical strength and chakra exhibited overwhelming suppression compared to ordinary ninjas.

Torune barely avoided the first wave of flames with his insect clones, but the range of the barrier was limited. He had retreated next to Fū.

"Don't," Fū, being a strategist and sensory ninja, was not skilled in direct combat.

Though he had the combat strength of a jonin against ordinary ninjas, the Yamanaka clan was not adept at handling large-scale elemental ninjutsu.

"Fire Style: Head Sealing."

Aoba, enjoying his fire techniques, followed up with another Head Sealing Jutsu, directly covering both Torune and Fū.

At this moment, Danzo, who was engaged in combat with Kakashi, could no longer bear it. The deaths of his subordinates were unfortunate, but losing these two—his left and right arms—would severely weaken Root.

"Summoning Jutsu: Baku."

At a critical moment, Danzo summoned the Baku to help Fū and Torune block Aoba's Fire Style. But in the next second, the Baku vanished due to severe injuries.

Danzo then positioned himself in front of his subordinates. This move surprised Aoba. He hadn't expected Danzo to show concern for his subordinates.

However, this was also because Danzo knew he still had trump cards left. Once these trump cards were used, his subordinates would be nothing but cannon fodder.

"Aoba, I never expected that you had hidden your strength during the battle with Raikage. I thought you weren't worthy of me using this card. But now, your performance has impressed me."

Danzo said as he removed the bandage from his right eye. Aoba immediately understood what this gesture meant.

It seemed that Danzo's opinion of Aoba had improved significantly. This guy was actually preparing to use Kotoamatsukami against him.

Danzo's decision was absolutely reasonable. Aoba's displayed combat strength was already on par with a kage level.

Using Kotoamatsukami to control a kage-level fighter, while not Danzo's ideal choice, was still acceptable.

But at the moment Danzo raised his hand, Aoba knew what he was planning. To be honest, if Danzo hadn't used his trump card, the game could have continued.

But since Danzo was about to use Kotoamatsukami, he did not dare to be negligent. He immediately ordered his Shadow Clones to begin their preparations.

Though Danzo had never used Kotoamatsukami before, his research on the Sharingan had reached a certain level. At least, activating Kotoamatsukami was no problem.

But the moment he removed the bandage, Danzo suddenly felt something was wrong.

A strange sense of obstruction appeared in his head and right hand.

At this time, in Aoba's underground laboratory, his Shadow Clones had activated two pre-prepared scrolls and applied them to Danzo's right eye and right hand.

In the next second, countless runes forcibly integrated into Hidan's bloodline, causing intense pain that even made Hidan scream.

Since the target was Hidan, Aoba's work was rough but ensured the sealing technique was effective. The process didn't matter much, considering Hidan was just scum.

Danzo's reaction was sudden, with severe pain in his right eye and hand, and a blockage in chakra flow.

Initially, Danzo thought it was a problem with his body's balance. He had experience with this and planned to forcibly activate Kotoamatsukami and then address the issue.

But then Danzo was stunned. He realized he couldn't activate Kotoamatsukami. Or rather, it wasn't that he couldn't activate it.

Kotoamatsukami required a significant amount of chakra infusion. Even though the Sharingan itself had power, Danzo was not the original owner of the Sharingan. Activating Kotoamatsukami still required a lot of chakra.

At that moment, Danzo felt that the chakra in his head and arm was blocked by an invisible force. It wasn't a problem of physical imbalance but rather a special sealing technique.

At some point, an enemy had placed a sealing technique within him, blocking both Kotoamatsukami and the Revival Coins (Sharingans + Izanagi lool) in his right hand.

In that instant, Danzo's heart sank. He realized he had been schemed against from the beginning. Root must have an insider, or Orochimaru had tampered with him during the surgery.

And...

There was no more and. In the blink of an eye, chaotic information flashed through Danzo's mind, but then he was frozen.

Because Aoba's Shadow Clone had already pierced Danzo's head with a sword.

The sealing technique set up beforehand activated but was quickly interrupted. Neither Kotoamatsukami nor the Revival Coin could be successfully activated.

Danzo was dead!!!
