"Hmph, what do you know? People are like trees. The more they yearn for the sunlight above, the deeper their roots must reach into the dark earth. Perhaps in your eyes I am unforgivable, but I have a clear conscience. Everything I have done is for the future of Konoha!" Danzo said indifferently, ignoring the insults and accusations around him. At this moment, he seemed to have transformed into a hero who carried darkness on his shoulders.

A sense of inexplicable sorrow filled everyone's hearts. Even at this point, Danzo remained unrepentant, insisting that everything he had done was for Konoha. Could this really be considered their Will of Fire?

"Enough! Shut up! Don't think you can cover up your despicable and filthy heart by spouting high-sounding reasons. Saying it's for the future of Konoha is nothing but satisfying your ambition and desire to become Hokage. You scum don't deserve to be a member of Konoha! Now, in the name of the Fifth Hokage, I hereby declare that Shimura Danzo from Konoha!" Tsunade resolutely issued the order.

"What?! How dare you treat me like this!" Danzo's face was contorted with rage, his mind twisted, like a demon from hell. He had been unmoved by everyone's accusations before, but at this moment he finally erupted in fury.

For Danzo, who believed he had "dedicated" his entire life to Konoha, becoming Danzo rogue ninja was something he absolutely could not tolerate. It was a denial of his life's achievements and an erasure of his existence!

Seeing Danzo's angry and desperate appearance, everyone felt both pity and inexplicable satisfaction.

"Let me die as a rogue ninja? Fine, fine, very fine, Tsunade. It seems you haven't inherited Hiruzen's weakness and mercy. In that respect, you are indeed a qualified Hokage. In that case, I can die in peace!" After calming down, Danzo actually laughed instead of being angry.

"However, for the future of Konoha, we cannot let you live!" Danzo stared at Roy and the other two, ripped open his robe, and activated the sealing technique engraved on his chest. His body expanded like a black sphere, like a black hole that devoured everything, sealing everything around him into his body.

"Oh no, it's the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique! Everyone, run!" Tsunade's expression changed drastically. This sealing technique was already a forbidden technique of the ultimate level, not to mention that it was activated by sacrificing the life of a Kage-level powerhouse. The sealing range could probably affect and devour most of Konoha. More importantly, almost all the villagers were gathered here. At their speed, it was impossible for them to escape before the seal stopped.

"Danzo, are you insane? If you don't stop, decades of Konoha's history will be ruined!" Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura shouted angrily.

"I'm not crazy. To be precise, I've never been this clear-headed before! Do you really think that the 'Dream God Sect,' which brings together dangerous figures like Deidara and Orochimaru, is some kind of benevolent force? The reason they're not destroying Konoha today is just for an even more insane plan in the future. Rather than letting Konoha be destroyed by them in the end, it's better to nip the danger in the bud now, at the cost of most of the village."

"For the future of Konoha, all sacrifices are worthwhile!" Danzo roared, seemingly insane.

"Crazy, crazy..." The two Hokage advisors kept muttering to themselves. Just for the sake of a so-called potential danger, they were willing to destroy the foundation of the village to nip that "danger" in the bud. How absurd and ridiculous this was.

Moreover, the man named Roy is incredibly powerful, almost reaching the level of the First Hokage. Even if the entire Konoha were destroyed within the seal, he might still emerge unscathed.

In other words, Danzo's desperate attack had no meaning other than leading Konoha into the abyss.

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall!"

"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"

"Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!"

Kakashi and the others tried to stop the spread of darkness with ninjutsu, but unfortunately, their efforts were in vain in the face of the omnipotent sealing technique. They couldn't even buy them half a second.

Tsunade and the others already showed despair. They might be able to escape from the sealed area, but all the civilians and the vast majority of ninjas could not do so. In other words, Konoha Village, which once stood at the pinnacle of the Shinobi World, might disappear into the long river of history at any moment and become a vague legend.

"Lord Roy, please set aside your past grievances and save Konoha!" Shizune's eyes shone brightly; she had always had blind confidence in Roy's strength.

Roy's lips curled into a slight smile, silently giving a thumbs-up to Shizune's assist.

Seeing that Roy neither refused nor agreed, and seemed to be considering it, Tsunade was shocked. Could he really be capable of solving Konoha's current predicament? Thinking of this, Tsunade didn't care about anything else and hurriedly said, "Roy, if you can, please lend a hand. Konoha will never forget your kindness!"

"Lord Roy, if you are willing to lend a hand, the Hyuga Clan will obey your every command from now on!"

"Lord Roy, my Yamanaka Clan is the same!"

"And our Akimichi Clan too!"

"Lord Roy..."

Seeing that the timing was right and that further hesitation would result in casualties, Roy sighed with "compassion" and said, "I have said from the beginning that I came for peace and have no ambition to rule the world. I am not interested in your loyalty, so you don't need to do this and I will help you anyway!"

As Roy finished speaking, the colorful Dreamscape Maze Lock instantly enveloped everyone, and the ever-spreading dark aura finally invaded. Everyone was terrified as they watched everything around them being swallowed up, but they were quickly soothed by the peaceful and serene power of the dream. After calming down, they found that the darkness was flowing through their bodies, but they were not harmed at all, as if different dimensions had overlapped.

"This, this is..." The people of Konoha stared in astonishment at this colorful, absurd world. They curiously touched themselves, only to find that their hands would pass through their bodies, as if a wandering ghost were present.

"Don't worry, I have already pulled you into the Dream-Enter. In other words, everything that is happening in the real world now has nothing to do with you. After the seal is broken, your bodies will return to reality and you will safely overcome the tribulation."

Seeing that his sealing technique, which he had activated at the cost of his life, had had no effect, Danzo's eyes were bloodshot with rage, but in the end he could only roar in despair, "I... in the end, I still failed to become Hokage!"
