The silver moon is like a hook, cold to the bone.
The forest was dark, and under the moonlight, intermittent mottled shadows formed on the ground, which looked extremely eerie.
Suddenly, there was a violent explosion beside him, bringing Danzo back to reality from his distraction.
Where is this?
In a daze, a large number of memories poured out of his brain, and Danzo finally remembered where this place was!
Land of Lightning Border!
It's still a familiar scene, just like back then!
At this moment, because Konoha Ninja's activities were triggered, the continuous Explosive Tag traps were completely detonated in an instant, and a tongue of fire lit up under Danzo and others.
Under the huge impact, Danzo suddenly looked at Seimei, chakra erupted under his feet, and he threw forward.
At this moment, Jing's hands had just been raised, and Danzo had already hugged Utatane Koharu in front of him, taking her away from the explosion area.
After the explosion ended, Jing's arm was injured because of his stagnant movements for that moment.
It was supposed to be Danzo who was injured, but now it turned into a mirror.
Second Hokage's figure fell, he frowned and said, "Mirror, why are you so careless? You can't avoid this kind of explosion. This is not in line with your strength."
"Sorry, teacher." Jing apologized immediately without explaining.
Second Hokage set his sights on Danzo again.
"Well done, your response was very quick."
Second Hokage is rarely praised, but Danzo is neither humble nor arrogant, just nodding slightly.
When Second Hokage sees this calmness, he is even more satisfied.
Danzo... I have made great progress this time.
Because of Explosive Tag, there were only seven people left in the original group of more than ten people.
"We'd better leave quickly, these corpses..."
Homura Mitokado didn't finish what he said, but the meaning was obvious. Under this kind of pursuit, it was better not to worry about it.
Just as Sarutobi Hiruzen was about to say something, Danzo had already taken the lead and said solemnly, "These are Konoha's ninjas, and they must be brought back to the village no matter what!"
With that said, he didn't waste any time and directly took out Sealing Scroll.
Second Hokage nodded, with a hint of relief in his eyes, undoubtedly acquiescing to Danzo's behavior.
The corpse Seal quickly appeared, and the group set off again.
On the road, Koharu deliberately fell one place behind and showed a grateful smile to Danzo.
If it hadn't been for Danzo, she wouldn't have died, but she would definitely have been injured.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo from a distance, but remained silent. He always felt that there was something unusual about Danzo tonight.
In other words, this man was suddenly full of mystery.
The seven people continued to escape in the direction of Land of Fire.
The journey after that was not smooth, but Danzo seemed to have fully understood all the enemy's traps, and his whole person exuded an unusually mature charm.
This outstanding performance, not to mention the few remaining companions who stayed with him day and night, even Second Hokage was very surprised.
Originally, in his eyes, Danzo was a bit extreme and extremely immature, but now these flaws seem to be gone.
And Danzo suddenly became the most outstanding one among the six disciples.
Sure enough, war makes people grow.
"Perhaps Danzo, who has fully grown up, can really..." Second Hokage said thoughtfully.
The scenes keep changing.
At this time, seven people gathered around a map.
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at Danzo with excitement.
"Danzo, did you take drugs tonight? Otherwise, why are you so strong? I can't stand your performance anymore."
Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen and did not show any impatience. Instead, he said calmly, "No, I just grew up a little after experiencing this attack.
I was ignorant before and caused you trouble. "
"No, you really surprised me. I almost don't recognize you."
Sarutobi Hiruzen put his arm around Danzo's shoulders. Danzo only tightened his body, but didn't resist too much.
"Not bad." Second Hokage looked at the two disciples in front of him with satisfaction.
Danzo glanced at Second Hokage with complicated eyes, waiting for the final arrival.
After a while, Second Hokage finally said in a deep voice, "We are surrounded by the other side, and someone must stay behind."
Everyone is silent, because staying means death.
This time Danzo's hands did not shake, nor did he stand up in a hurry to say "let me go". Instead, he pretended to be silent and stood up Sarutobi Hiruzen first.
He stared into Second Hokage's eyes and said firmly, "I will cut off the queen."
Sarutobi Hiruzen looked at his friend in shock, and then retorted, "I'll do it."
Danzo looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen with a smile on his face.
"Hiruzen, I may not die. Besides, death and sacrifice are the most common things for a ninja.
The village cannot live without Mr. Second Hokage, nor can it live without you. I am already prepared. "
He looked firmly at Second Hokage.
This time Danzo made sure that there were no omissions in his performance.
From the very beginning when Explosive Tag was injured in the explosion and turned into a mirror, Danzo also saw through all the subsequent traps one by one, and the final preparation for sacrifice was also perfect to the extreme.
Danzo is sure that he performs better than Hiruzen, is more mature than Koharu, is stronger than the mirror, and even... there is also the determined Will of Fire.
If things develop according to the situation, Mr. Second Hokage should be...
Danzo is flattered, but does not show any trace of it on his face.
Second Hokage stared at Danzo, his eyes full of admiration.
"The grown-up Danzo may really be able to..." He thought for a moment.
"In that case, Danzo, it's up to you to cut off the queen."
Danzo: "...???"
Second Hokage stood up, patted Danzo on the shoulder, and said, "When you are fully grown, you may really be able to stop our pursuers. No matter what the outcome is this time, Shimura Clan I will take care of you."
Jingya patted Danzo on the shoulder and said, "Good brother!"
Koharu stood up and nodded, then held the injured mirror and walked away.
"..."
Finally, Sarutobi Hiruzen hugged Danzo hard, and then said while holding back tears, "Don't die, I will wait for you to come back, even if it takes a lifetime, I will keep waiting!"
"..."
In an instant, Danzo's hands and feet were as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
Root In the lobby, the Rasengan in Chen's hand was about to hit Danzo's chest.
First, he used Genjutsu to cause the opponent to pause for a moment, and then used a thunderous strike. This was his most skilled fighting method before.
Just as Danzo rushed over to dig out his eyes, Chen directly used Genjutsu.
But before Rasengan hit Danzo, his figure disappeared first.
"This is...Izanagi?"
Chen tilted his head, a little confused.
He just used an A-level Genjutsu. Its effect is similar to that of Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique. It can make the enemy see the scene that they are most afraid of, but it is much more complicated than Demonic Illusion: Hell Viewing Technique.
Even this kind of Genjutsu, with the addition of Chen's pupil power, may be a little harder to crack, but it won't make the whole person fall into Genjutsu and die, right?
Pot King... This mental endurance is a bit shabby.
