Chapter 87 A Battle Without Hope
That bastard... how does he know everything?!
A flicker of panic crossed Danzo's eyes. In ninja duels, intelligence is life—and when all one's trump cards are exposed to the opponent, the battle is already at a disadvantage from the start.
Can I really defeat him with Izanagi?
The remaining Sharingan on his arm darted uneasily, each pupil reflecting the cold, masked face. Danzo suppressed his unease and spoke in a hoarse voice.
"【Jin】, you're too naive!"
He abruptly raised his deformed arm, now inlaid with a Sharingan. "Just because I want to eliminate destabilizing factors, are you going to turn against the entire Hidden Leaf Village?"
"Nip a crisis in the bud—that's a ninja's duty! Peace is never achieved through lukewarm means! This world needs someone to bear the darkness!"
"Not only the Uchiha... every member of our Root organization is prepared to sacrifice themselves for peace!"
"You really are a liar! 'Resolve'? You dare to use the word 'resolve to sacrifice' when you're using that forbidden technique as a trump card?"
Danzo Shimura almost laughed out loud when faced with Shimura using his Sharingan as a coin to revive himself while uttering words like "the resolve to sacrifice."
"Rather than that—" Mianma's voice was as cold as ice, "you dare to spout nonsense here with a mere minute of invincibility? Have you forgotten your combat skills because you haven't fought in so long?"
The numb man slowly raised his right hand, and a pitch-black sphere suddenly twisted and appeared above his palm. The sphere began to devour light, and the surrounding air trembled.
"Spiral Wheel."
Dark stardust swirled in his palm, emanating a chilling aura. Naruto was now a completely different person—Nine-Faced Sovaka, Rasengan, the Nine-Tails' chakra within him, plus the mobility of the Flying Thunder God Technique. Even without the trial card provided by the system.
His strength is comparable to that of Menma Uzumaki from "Road to Ninja," he just needs more time to mature...
Apart from the Southern and Northern Dipper Immortals maintaining the barrier, runes flowed on the purple light screen, completely isolating this area from the outside world. The seven-headed nine-faced beasts approached simultaneously, sealing off all of Danzo's escape routes.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"
Danzo suddenly opened his mouth, and a nearly transparent wind blade swept out like a laser. Menma knew that this wind release technique could even cut through Susanoo! The Nine-Faced Beast quickly dodged, and the ground was plowed into a trench several meters deep.
In that split second—Mian Ma loosened the spiral wheel in his hand.
The pitch-black stardust fell silently, and the instant it touched the ground—
"boom!!!!"
Amidst a deafening explosion, a massive crater tens of meters in diameter suddenly appeared. The shockwave blasted everything within the barrier away, instantly engulfing Danzo's figure.
But before the smoke and dust had cleared, Danzo reappeared, completely unharmed.
Menma's figure had already vanished from the spot. Upon closer inspection, the entire interior of the barrier was now filled with Flying Thunder God Technique seals!
"Second shot."
The cold voices came from all directions.
Danzo's eyes darted around frantically, but he couldn't catch a trace of the enemy.
Danzo's fingers plunged into his ninja tool pouch, the two shuriken gleaming coldly in the moonlight. He took a deep breath, wind-style chakra coiling around the blades, instantly forming two high-speed spinning vacuum windmills that tore through the air with a piercing shriek.
You have to get close... Once you plant the curse seal, the battle will be over!
However, based on the strength and intelligence of both sides, Menma had already thoroughly investigated Danzo's true nature.
Danzo's Wind Release techniques are powerful enough to sever Susanoo, but against Flying Thunder God users, the hit rate is almost zero unless they get close.
His physical skills and curse seals, his proud sealing techniques, require contact to activate, but his opponent would never give him a chance to get close.
Izanagi grants one resurrection and one minute of invincibility, but it consumes the precious Sharingan...
"Whoosh!"
The wind-wheel shuriken shot through the air, only to be shattered mid-flight by a white tiger's claw that suddenly appeared. Menma's figure had already vanished from the spot, leaving only the blue light of the Flying Thunder God Technique slowly dissipating in the air.
The seven nine-faced beasts approached slowly like the Grim Reaper, each possessing the strength of an elite Jonin. Even more terrifying was—
"boom!"
Another spiraling wheel exploded in front of him, the shockwave tearing off Danzo's robes. He rolled and dodged in a sorry state, only to find that Kanma had already teleported to the other side of the barrier, condensing yet another jet of dark stardust in his hand.
Danzo's breathing began to become erratic.
A target that can never be hit... Seven perfectly coordinated summoning beasts... A ranged ninjutsu with the power to shatter terrain...
Despair washed over me like a tidal wave. My usually calculating mind couldn't find even the slightest chance of winning.
"hateful......"
The power of Wood Release was faintly visible, but there was nowhere to use it. Frustration and panic grew wildly like weeds.
The air within the barrier materialized into a tangible pressure, each breath carrying the metallic, bloody stench. Danzo finally began to question things in his mind.
How am I supposed to fight this?!
