New Senjutsu!
"Body Paralysis Jutsu Cursed Seal?"
Sakura Haruno tried to move her body.
Hands, feet...
It remained completely still.
The black Cursed Seal contained a powerful force, like iron chains binding her body tightly.
"An interesting Sealing Jutsu..." Sakura Haruno said calmly, her smile remaining serene and composed.
"When was it used?" The same question arose in the minds of the people present.
Sakura Haruno searched her memory; this kind of Sealing Jutsu could generally only be performed through contact, so... she glanced at her wrist and immediately realized the answer.
It's Danzo's left hand from earlier.
As Sakura reached out and grabbed Danzo's wrist with her right hand, Danzo took advantage of the moment she kicked to leave Cursed Seal on the girl's wrist!
"I never imagined that someone as old as you could still maintain such agility, Shimura Danzō."
Sakura Haruno praised its authenticity.
Although the words were meant as praise, the girl's expression and tone revealed no trace of genuine appreciation.
Instead, it sounded full of sarcasm.
Danzo seemed not to hear, his expression unchanged. He held a long sword in his hand, the gleaming blade pointing at the immobilized girl, and walked towards her unhurriedly.
"Is this all your last words?" Danzo slowly after Sakura Haruno finished speaking.
He stopped in front of the girl.
He placed his left hand on his right wrist and subconsciously glanced at his right arm again.
"It wasted so much of my Chakra and several of my eyes..."
The old man raised his long knife.
Sakura Haruno is already like fish on a chopping board.
The girl suddenly laughed again and said, "Hmph, Shimura Danzō. Do you really think such methods can restrain me? Don't you think... you're getting too close?"
The Cursed Seal's power seems immense, but for Sakura Haruno, it's not an insurmountable technique...
She has at least a few ways to deal with it! First, she could break the Yin Seal and forcefully break through the cage created by the Cursed Seal with a large amount of Chakra —this is a violent method. Second, she could study the characteristics of the technique, find the flaw in the Cursed Seal, and use a skillful reverse Sealing Jutsu to break Cursed Seal —this is a clever method.
Sakura Haruno chose the third method.
"The Cursed Seal forcibly binds me, which is perfect... it gives me a chance to cast a spell."
The powerful Cursed Seal imprisoned her firmly, which conveniently fulfilled the prerequisite for Sakura Haruno to cast that spell.
Do not move.
Danzo's pupils contracted, and he abruptly stopped moving.
"Making a big fuss!"
He frowned, suppressing the ominous feeling in his heart, and suddenly swung his hand, the long sword slicing through the air, whistling as it fiercely slashed towards Sakura Haruno's neck!
In a split second, Sakura Haruno underwent a change.
Purple eyeshadow suddenly appeared around the girl's eyes, followed by a massive and powerful Chakra erupting from Sakura's body!
Sage Mode... activated!
The black Cursed Seal was instantly torn into countless pieces by the tyrannical and unreasonable Senjutsu Chakra, degenerating into disordered Chakra and dissipating into the air.
Snap!
The long sword was stopped just a paper's width from Sakura Haruno's neck.
Sakura Haruno looked at Danzo with a half-smile on her face.
Danzo's expression changed drastically!
He made a quick decision, discarding his longsword, and suddenly pushed off with his feet, his body retreating abruptly!
"Wind Release: Pressure Damage!"
"Nintaijutsu: Star Cannon Fist!"
The high-speed wind ball created by the advanced Wind Release collided head-on with Sakura Haruno's fist, and then—
Boom!!!
A deafening sound suddenly emanated from the point of contact between the two objects, creating a white shockwave that seemed almost tangible in the air!
It's hard to imagine what level of power Sakura Haruno's punch contained.
The power unleashed by the Monstrous Strength Technique itself was already astonishing, but under Sage Mode, Sakura Haruno's power increased dramatically, even by several hundred percent; the combined power of the two was immeasurable.
That was a straightforward punch.
This punch was as powerful as a thunderbolt.
It pierced straight through the air, Danzo the Ninjutsu that Danzo had hastily used!
The massive, violent whirlwind shattered under the force of this punch, and several hurricanes swept away, pushing Danzo far away!
"... a clever trick."
Obito was watching from the sidelines, frowned and said coldly.
"Danzo knew very well that he had no chance of winning in close combat with Sakura Haruno..." Karin quickly realized Danzo's tactical intentions, "So after his Wind Release was shattered, he deliberately let the exploding wind ball blow him away..."
"He deliberately chose this wind-style Wind Release to create distance between himself and Sakura Haruno, avoiding a direct confrontation in Taijutsu! Danzo had planned all of this the moment Sakura Haruno broke free of her restraints!"
A formidable opponent!
However, the "fearsome opponent" that Karin mentioned is currently being relentlessly beaten by an even more formidable adversary...
It's just a trick, nothing more.
Danzo tried to evade Sakura Haruno's pursuit with various clever tricks, but ultimately failed.
Water Release: Wind Blade Torrent!
Call out!
A thin stream of water under ultra-high pressure shot out from Sakura Haruno's fingertips.
With a flick of Sakura Haruno's slender fingers and arm, a thin silver line drew an arc in the air. Danzo's retreating body was caught up by the white line from afar, and to Danzo's astonishment, it sliced him into several pieces as if cutting tofu.
Water Blade Ninjutsu unleashed its power for the first time in the world!
Danzo died for the sixth time.
"It's come back to life again."
Sakura Haruno looked at Danzo, who had died and been resurrected for the sixth time, and said with a half-smile.
So... I'm about to die again.
"Danzo, you're dead."
The girl's chilling killing intent pressed down on Danzo like an iceberg.
In that world, it was inconvenient for her Danzo directly and ruthlessly kill Danzo; but in this world, helping the weakened Konoha eradicate this scourge became a very necessary thing!
Sakura Haruno's eyes and words made no attempt to conceal her intention to kill Danzo completely.
Danzo's face was pale, his expression gloomy, and he looked extremely unpleasant.
"Your move..." He looked at the exquisite purple stripes on Sakura Haruno's face and realized something, "... is that the legendary 'Sage Mode'?"
Sakura Haruno gave a cold laugh and remained silent.
"Looks like I was right."
Sage Mode...
According to the information Danzo collected, this is an extremely powerful technique that can enhance the caster's strength in every aspect!
Is the opponent an enemy who has mastered Sage Mode?
Danzo's gaze grew increasingly cold.
Using words like "tricky" and "difficult" to describe his current opponent is an understatement.
In fact, Danzo felt more like "helpless" when facing her.
No, he has one more trick up his sleeve.
Danzo instinctively covered his left eye, which was tightly wrapped in bandages.
Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan... was his last chance to turn the tide!
Use Kotoamatsukami to control Sakura Haruno.
I originally intended to use this technique on the Masked Man, but using it to control Sakura Haruno... given the strength she's demonstrated, it's actually not a bad idea.
The problem is that he had already used Kotoamatsukami once during the Five Kage Summit. Even though the transplanted Hashirama cells in his right hand greatly reduced the cooldown time of Shisui's Mangekyō, allowing him to recover his power in a very short time, he was still a little short of time...
We need to find a way to stall for time.
Thinking this, Danzo bent down, his Chakra surging forth—
"Secret Technique: Summoning Technique!"
A massive, colossal creature, as tall as a five-story building, was summoned to the battlefield!
"Awooooo--!"
Upon its appearance, the giant beast unleashed a thunderous roar that pierced through the clouds and shattered rocks.
In an instant, a sound like a tiger's roar and a dragon's cry resounded, and an astonishing aura descended like Mount Tai pressing down!
"I think... it's just that the voice is more imposing, right?"
Sakura Haruno rubbed her ears and snorted.
Her Ninjutsu was also quietly brewing—
Ice forms the skeleton, while non-Newtonian fluids form the flesh and blood.
The phantom of an ice giant is gradually taking shape!
