Overwhelmed by weariness, his eyelids grew heavy, and he could no longer hold on.
"Damn it... Hiruzen... Once I get out of here... I will definitely... make you pay..."
He mumbled a curse under his breath, then felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and his heavy eyelids slowly closed.
In a daze, Danzo immediately opened his eyes again.
This time, however, what came into view was no longer the pitch-black darkness of the dungeon, but a bright and sunny open space with lush green grass.
Under the bright sunlight, the air was filled with the scent of grass and earth, and the clear chirping of birds could be heard in the distance.
It was completely different from the cold and damp dungeon we had just left.
Ok?
This is……
Danzo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes sharpened, and he thought to himself.
Here they come, yes, they've come in again!
Danzo looked around and realized that he was actually in Konoha Village's training ground.
And yet, I found myself here without even realizing it.
However, Danzo soon stopped dwelling on the question of "why he came to the training ground".
He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a smug smile: Let's calculate the time.
Everything he meticulously planned in the previous dream should have now come to fruition.
The holder of the Rinnegan is probably quietly staying in the Root organization's base right now, letting him do whatever he wants!
Thinking of this, Danzo's originally gloomy mood immediately improved a lot.
With those eyes.
Just wait and see, Hiruzen's better days are yet to come.
He snorted, scrambled to his feet, and dusted himself off.
However, Danzo realized something was wrong after only a moment.
He looked around and felt that everything in front of him seemed to have become taller, while his own field of vision seemed to have become shorter.
Danzo's heart sank, and he quickly raised his hands and spread them out in front of him.
Those two hands were small and smooth, clearly not his old hands!
He looked down at himself and realized that he was wearing a ninja training uniform from his childhood. He was small and light, and looked just like a teenager!
"Time... has changed again!"
Danzo's face darkened, and he was secretly furious.
Did all his elaborate schemes and plans in his dream last time turn out to be nothing but a mirage?
How could Danzo accept this!
Just as Danzo was filled with resentment, a vibrant young voice suddenly came from not far behind him: "Danzo! You're here really early today!"
Danzo was startled by what he heard and abruptly turned around.
What came into view was a face that made him grit his teeth in hatred.
Hiruzen!!!
However, the Hiruzen Sarutobi who appeared in front of Danzo at this time was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy.
With a youthful smile on his face, he walked briskly toward Danzo.
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi had a childlike air about him, and his clean eyes held a hint of naivety, lacking the cunning and shrewdness he would later develop.
Danzo gazed at his smiling face from afar, and a surge of uncontrollable anger rose within him.
The image of Hiruzen Sarutobi's arrogant, hypocritical, and ruthless ugly face from earlier that day involuntarily surfaced in his mind.
That's the face!
This is the person!
In broad daylight, Hiruzen Sarutobi threw him into the dungeon, took everything from him, and humiliated him!
The old and new grudges instantly transformed into a burning rage in Danzo's chest, rushing straight to the top of his head.
He felt that at this moment, he had to empty his mind and follow his body's instincts, otherwise his thoughts would never be clear.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
"Hiruzen!!!!"
Danzo roared, and at the same time, his figure suddenly moved, and he pounced on Hiruzen Sarutobi!
Without any warning, and without giving young Hiruzen Sarutobi any time to react, he launched a fierce physical attack!
Caught off guard, Hiruzen Sarutobi only had time to instinctively raise his arm to block. With a muffled thud, he was knocked off balance and nearly fell to the ground.
Young Hiruzen Sarutobi regained his footing, startled: "Hey! Danzo, what are you doing?!"
His face was filled with disbelief, clearly not understanding why his close friend would suddenly turn on him so ruthlessly.
At this moment, Danzo was completely deaf to any further thought.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he remained silent as he pressed closer once more.
boom! boom! boom!
A series of dull thuds of flesh colliding rang out. Danzo did not use any ninjutsu at all, but instead launched a storm of taijutsu attacks with his fists, feet, elbows, and knees!
Every strike he makes goes straight for the vital points. His movements are ruthless and vicious, and his attack trajectories are tricky and vicious. His speed and power far exceed the normal level for his age group!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was immediately forced into a flurry of activity, struggling to defend himself.
He tried several times to form hand seals and use ninjutsu to create distance, but Danzo's hand chops or whip kicks struck his hands precisely before he could even finish the seals!
Hiruzen Sarutobi was in pain and his hand seals were forced to stop. His chakra surged, and he could barely breathe. His face turned bright red.
Danzo sneered inwardly as he launched a fierce attack, leaving Hiruzen Sarutobi struggling to keep up.
He sneered in a cold voice, "Too slow! Too slow! Too slow!"
"Hiruzen! Your hand seals are too slow!"
"It seems you haven't taken your teacher's teachings to heart!"
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely powerless to fight back, barely able to parry, and couldn't even find a chance to counterattack.
Danzo is bullying a child right now!
He knew Hiruzen Sarutobi too well.
The two have been rivals since childhood, and he knows every single habitual movement of Hiruzen Sarutobi perfectly!
Now, the old Danzo's rich combat experience and ruthless cunning are all poured into this young body.
Dealing with this real "child" in front of me is like a game of cat and mouse!
How could the young Hiruzen Sarutobi possibly withstand such a blow?
In the blink of an eye, he had been cornered by Danzo and was now powerless to fight back!
"flaw!"
Danzo's eyes flashed, and he seized an opening, delivering a swift low sweep kick to Hiruzen Sarutobi's right foot. In the instant Hiruzen lost his balance, Danzo followed up with a heavy side kick, slamming it into Hiruzen's chest!
boom! !
With a muffled thud, Hiruzen Sarutobi was kicked flying, rolling several times on the ground before finally coming to a stop.
He let out a low groan, then opened his mouth and launched into a series of heart-wrenching, violent coughs, as if his internal organs were about to be shaken apart.
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi's face was filled with pain, shock, and confusion; he was clearly stunned by Danzo's kick.
Danzo stood high above, coldly looking down at his nemesis, who was in a sorry state.
All the humiliation and anger that had accumulated in the dungeon during the day seemed to be released with that kick, making Danzo feel extremely happy.
This twisted and intense pleasure made every cell in his body tremble with excitement.
[Ding! Emotional fluctuations from Shimura Danzo have been detected! Emotional value +500!]
Danzo slowly walked towards Sarutobi, his face full of disdain.
He said sarcastically in an icy voice, "Hiruzen Sarutobi, you're too slow! How can you inherit the Will of Fire if you're this slow?"
Danzo walked step by step in front of Hiruzen Sarutobi, blocking the sunlight from his head.
The blinding sunlight was blocked by Danzo's figure, and Hiruzen Sarutobi was suddenly plunged into a large shadow.
The young Hiruzen Sarutobi struggled to sit up, looking up blankly at his former friend who stood before him, his presence obscuring the sky.
Backlit, Danzo's expression was hidden in the darkness, making it difficult to see clearly.
At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes were filled with confusion, and a hint of fear was also faintly visible.
He couldn't understand why Danzo was so violent today.
He couldn't understand why Danzo, whose strength was usually about the same as his own, was showing such a suffocating sense of oppression today.
This was completely beyond his comprehension...
……
in the audience.
At this moment, they appeared in the audience seats of the Dream Theater.
It was Hiruzen Sarutobi and his three disciples—Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru.
The scenes displayed on the giant screen elicited various reactions from everyone present.
When he saw Danzo crush the young Hiruzen Sarutobi to the ground with overwhelming force, the elderly Hiruzen Sarutobi could no longer suppress his anger!
He slammed his hand on the armrest of the chair and stood up abruptly.
"That Danzo! This is outrageous!" Hiruzen Sarutobi trembled with rage as he cursed.
[Ding! An emotional fluctuation from Hiruzen Sarutobi has been detected! Emotional value +800!]
