"How did he do that?" Hanzo looked at Shimura Danzō in surprise.
He had been hit by Sōsuke's ultimate Combination Ninjutsu and had only lost a mask. Could Sōsuke's Twin Dragon Annihilation have been nothing more than an impressive-looking bluff?
Noticing the devastated ground, Hanzo shook his head. This was clearly an extraordinarily powerful Combination Ninjutsu.
The correct answer was that Shimura Danzō had used some special secret technique to evade the attack.
"Sōsuke, he can't die." Hanzo looked at Sōsuke and shook his head.
Sōsuke could defeat Shimura Danzō, or even cripple him, but he absolutely could not kill him.
If Shimura Danzō died, Konoha would certainly avenge him. Even if Ninshu and Amegakure merged, it might not be enough to make Konoha wary.
If Hanzo had been the man he was before the Second Ninja World War, he would have killed Shimura Danzō without hesitation.
But having lived through the Second Ninja World War, Hanzo knew how powerful the Five Great Ninja Villages were.
Even if Sōsuke could defeat the Yellow Flash, Blazing Sun Mu Yue, or even Hiruzen Sarutobi, it would still end with Konoha's victory.
The gap in their foundations was simply too great. Not only were the Rain ninja far inferior to Konoha in quality, they were also fewer in number.
Under such circumstances, even if Sōsuke kept winning alone, he could not win the entire war. At most, he could make Konoha suffer greater losses.
"He can die." Mu Yue shook his head.
In Hanzo's eyes, Shimura Danzō represented Konoha in the Land of Rain, and Konoha was currently at the height of the Five Great Ninja Villages, having won one major victory after another against the other great villages.
But Mu Yue knew that Konoha would only be glorious for a little longer.
