Sasuke led the Hawk Team on a raid through the Forest of the Land of Fire, with the aim of intercepting Konohagakure before he reached the Capital City of the Land of Fire after leaving Danzo.

However, this distance cannot be too close to Konohagakure, otherwise it will easily attract Konohagakure's fierce entanglement.

As for the guards of the Land of Fire, Sasuke didn't take them seriously. Now that Sasuke had obtained the Mangekyō Sharingan, he was at the height of his arrogance.

"Karin, how far are we from our goal?" Sasuke asked.

"It's just ahead, but I don't know why it stopped," Karin said as she ran. "Danzo is still standing there, and there's another person who's disappeared."

The person who disappeared was Naruto. Danzo stood outside the oxcart, watching Sasuke Uchiha suddenly appear, knock out several guards from the Land of Fire, and then immediately slip away. He felt that something was off.

Why is Sasuke Uchiha like an idiot? He's already here and he hasn't made a move. Is he just trying to stop me? Or does he have a backup plan?

Danzo still, glanced around, and couldn't help but snort coldly. They're just evil remnants of the Uchiha clan; what tricks could they possibly have up their sleeves? Why all the fuss about making a move?

He wasn't afraid of the Uchiha at all; even in his old age, he still had the guts to take on ten of them single-handedly. Seriously, how could the second disciple of the ruthless Second Hokage not have some ruthless skills?

Naruto ran very fast, knocked out the guards, and immediately slipped away. Before Danzo could even ask him a question, Naruto disappeared behind a tree and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape.

He loved watching people fight, but he just wanted to stop Danzo and buy some time so that Sasuke could find Danzo's location in this desolate wilderness.

"Disappeared?" Sasuke felt uneasy, sensing that something was amiss, but with the opportunity to kill Danzo right in front of him, he couldn't hesitate any longer.

Danzo's face was cold, his cloudy eyes slowly moving. He was not used to not having subordinates to do things for him. In the past, he did not have to deal with these small matters personally.

Looking back now, it's all those lunatics' fault. Without the fairness of higher-ups, they suddenly attacked the Root Organization. What Fifth Hokage? She was practically a female madwoman.

In this situation, he had actually been reduced to doing it himself. He tilted his head slightly, and a dry, cracking sound came from the joint of Danzo's neck.

With four rustling sounds, the four Hawk Team landed around Danzo, surrounding him completely. Leading them was Sasuke Uchiha, who was now coldly staring at Danzo.

"Sasuke Uchiha?" Danzo threw away his cane and slowly unwrapped the bandage on his right hand. "It's finally come to this. Let's settle this."

The bandages slowly fell to the ground, revealing a Danzo of menacing eyes on Danzo's right hand. The Sharingan, which could never be closed, lay wide-open and lifeless on his arm.

One after another, it's enough to make your scalp tingle.

In the distance, Naruto, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes, wondering if Danzo had something wrong with him. Even if he were to transplant Sharingan, why would he need to transplant it to his right hand? Was he left-handed?

"One Sharingan emptied out half of Kakashi. How many cores does Danzo? How can his chakra reserves be so high?" Naruto shook his head, clicking his tongue in amazement.

While physical advantages are beneficial, one shouldn't overdo it. It's like trying to imitate someone else's gait blindly; relying on Hashirama Cells to use the Sharingan is ultimately inappropriate and ineffective, resulting in poor mastery of Wood Release, Wind Release, Sharingan.

"Susanoo, holy crap, a purple Gundam." Naruto squatted in the treetop, watching the battle not far away. "Danzo, that old bastard, isn't doing so well anymore. He's too old."

Seeing Sasuke once again, slamming Danzo to the ground, Naruto couldn't help but feel a chill. Even a Gundam couldn't kill that old bastard Danzo; the Resurrection Armor was truly insane.

Danzo has too many resurrected armors. If a real fight were to break out, only a madman like Sasuke could truly challenge the old man.

The battle gradually became intense, with Jugo Suigetsu and Karin observing from the sidelines. Firstly, they couldn't intervene, and secondly, they were worried about someone disrupting the fight.

The person they were worried about was Naruto, but Karin didn't accurately sense Naruto's Chakra; she only knew that a powerful person was lurking nearby.

One by one, the ten eyes on Danzo's hands closed, and Sasuke grew increasingly weak. Naruto watched for a while, silently encouraging Uchiha Sasuke in his heart.

In the blink of an eye, the situation reversed again, Sasuke was sent flying by the blood-covered figure. The purple Susanoo instantly dissipated and slowly dissipated.

"Sasuke!!" Karin shouted as she rushed into the battlefield, running towards Sasuke without regard for anything else. Jugo and Suigetsu jumped into the center of the battlefield to Danzo's fierce attack.

Experience is the best teacher; Sasuke was seriously injured in a moment of carelessness. The ground was cracked, and the deep crater where Sasuke was standing made it clear how severe his injuries were.

Karin, Karin walking, talking healer, extended her arm and began healing Sasuke. With an extremely flamboyant shout, Sasuke regained some health.

Jugo was Danzo flying by Danzo, and Suigetsu alone couldn't stop Danzo's attack. The situation took a sharp turn for the Jugo. Sasuke, considering the mysterious figure who hadn't yet shown himself, gritted his teeth and ordered a retreat.

The Hawk Team retreated in a sorry state. Danzo's Sharingan had almost all gone out, leaving only two or three eyes still wide open.

Naruto stood atop the treetop, watching Danzo stand on the smoke-filled battlefield. Danzo looked in the direction the Hawk Team had gone, making no attempt to pursue them.

Uchiha's fire style counters his wind style Ninjutsu, Izanagi takes time, and Sasuke seems to have been very familiar with his abilities from the beginning.

The reason the battle has reached its current state is simply because Danzo had eleven chances to try and fail, while Sasuke became careless at a certain moment, which led to his defeat.

But Danzo himself knew that in terms of agility and stamina, he was no match for the young and Sasuke. Susanoo far more powerful than he had imagined; it was practically an impenetrable wall.

Just as Danzo a sigh of relief, a familiar voice rang out from all around.

"Danzo, you seem to be in a good mood, taking a walk?"

"Who?"

"Since you ask who I am, I'll mercifully tell you." Naruto jumped down from the treetop, looking at Danzo with a smug grin.

"The head of the Uzumaki Clan is currently only me, of course it's me, Naruto Uzumaki. Surprised? Unexpected? What a coincidence, Danzo."

"I can run into you even when I just go for a walk outside the village. We are so destined to meet."

Hearing Naruto's smug words, Danzo cold, and he silently spat inwardly. He thought to himself, "You think you're wandering around here like this? Do you think the Forest of the Land of Fire are your backyard?"

Of course, he wouldn't stoop to saying such things aloud. He could probably guess Naruto's intentions, and silently pulled out his kunai, preparing to continue the fight.

"Hey! Danzo, what do you mean by this?" Naruto looked at Danzo in surprise. "We have no grudge against each other, why are you brandishing swords and spears?"

"We are all of the same origin, why are you so eager to harm me? Isn't that a bit impolite of you?"

"Ha!" Danzo ignored Naruto's nonsense, gripping his kunai and staring at him, saying, "Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, you're here to kill me, aren't you?"

"Who sent you? What do you mean by these words? Was it that crazy woman Tsunade?"

"What does this have to do with Lord Tsunade?" Naruto said with a smile as he drew his Kusanagi Sword. "Danzo, this is a personal grudge between us."

"Personal grudge?" Danzo deliberately stalling for time; he didn't think Naruto could be that strong without the Nine-Tails.

However, he needed to recover some strength. Sasuke Uchiha on his youth and strength and the Susanoo, showed no martial ethics towards this 65-year-old comrade.

The hearts of young people these days are truly filthy. It's one thing for Sasuke Uchiha to bully the elderly just because he's young and physically strong, Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is truly insidious, deliberately hiding in the shadows.

If I had been at a disadvantage, this person might have even shot me from the shadows. That opportunist is disgusting; does this guy have any sense of honor whatsoever?!

Shimura Danzō really wanted to swear, but his high-ranking position and good manners prevented him. He simply glanced at Naruto and silently began to recover his strength.

"Yes, it's a personal grudge. Danzo hasn't forgotten, has he?" Naruto brandished the Kusanagi Sword, his smile unusually sinister. "Weren't you planning to develop me as a weapon for the village?"

"Anyway, Jinchuriki are just weapons, right? If they get broken, we can just find another one. Tailed Beast are really too important to the village."

"Isn't that right? All of this is for the sake of maximizing the village's interests. I have a clear conscience." Danzo calmed his breathing, intending to recover more strength.

Although Naruto is Jiraiya's disciple, ultimately, without Tailed Beast within him, he's not a threat. No matter how dangerous, could he Susanoo?

Sasuke Uchiha destroyed seven of his Sharingan, leaving him with only four for survival; each use is one less he can have.

Ideally, a single, decisive blow should be aimed at preserving the remaining strength.

"A clear conscience? You certainly have a clear conscience, since you never asked me if I was willing." Naruto drew his Kusanagi Sword and approached Danzo step by step.

"Putting aside the facts, Danzo, your words are truly disheartening. I almost died at your hands, by just a hair's breadth."

"The development plan must be led by the Root, right? Trying to develop me? It's not that easy. Hahaha, did you see their corpses that day? I killed them all."

"I'm doing this for the benefit of the village, Lord Danzo ~" Naruto said in a strange tone, looking at Danzo with a mocking smirk.

"I have a clear conscience. After all, the Hokage's power is unlimited, and Lord Tsunade's orders are the village's call. I didn't want to do it either, but I had no choice."

"How does it feel to have all your hard work go up in flames? Is even the news delayed? Well, that's my problem, my sword is fast."

"The sword was too fast, there was nothing I could do, it was difficult for me too. After all, if I killed you this time, I could slander you without any restraint."

Listening to Naruto's rambling, Danzo's anger surged. Bringing up old grievances made his teeth itch. That woman Tsunade was simply insane; she killed Root.

Unfortunately, he had two obedient henchmen who wiped out the Root Organization he had built up over half his life. It would be a lie to say he wasn't furious, but the deed was done.

Everything happened too fast; there was simply no time to stop it.

"What's the point of saying all this now? Everything I've done is for Konohagakure. Even if some of my actions weren't exactly honorable, Konohagakure is proud of me."

Danzo, with a cold expression, looked up at Naruto after he had recovered most of his strength.

"My contributions to Konohagakure over the years are obvious to all, something you little kids can't possibly know. You think that crazy woman Tsunade can take me down? You're dreaming."

"I will kill you and continue on my way. One day I will return to Konohagakure."

Danzo spoke, his Wind Release Chakra flowed rapidly in his hand, and a giant wind blade that could cut through the wind appeared in his grasp. Danzo's eyes sharpened, and he roared at Naruto through gritted teeth.

"Only I am worthy to sit in the Hokage Position!"

His words, translated, mean: The Hokage Position is tarnished; what right does he have to hold it?

Naruto was unyielding; he had never even considered becoming Hokage. Only with Danzo dead could he sleep peacefully. All he wanted to say was: Die, you old bastard!

The Tailed Beast Cloak instantly covered Naruto's entire body, and more than 70% of the Yin-Yang Nine-Tails' Chakra poured into his body, causing the blood-red Kakkō to rapidly expand.

Surrounded by soaring blood energy, Naruto didn't even consider dodging; he twisted his body and threw a punch. Crimson light shone around him, and a huge phantom of Blood Fox appeared behind him, almost indistinguishable from a real one.

Upon Danzo, Danzo's pupils dilated sharply; he was certain that the Nine-Tails was no longer inside Naruto. Why! Why could he still use the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki Nine-Tails?

And judging from this stance, it's almost equivalent to Susanoo? He's piloting a purple Gundam, and you're piloting Blood Fox?

Driven by Naruto, the Blood-colored Nine-Tails phantom Danzo away. In that instant, Naruto once again vanished using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

In the blink of an eye, he reappeared above Danzo, before Danzo could react. A small black Tailed Beast Ball, not yet fully formed, shot out in a flash through the void.

The Tailed Beast Ball pierced the air, leaving a straight streak of black energy, accompanied by a piercing shriek. With a deafening boom, it burned Danzo, who was trapped in the deep pit.

With his Sharingan deactivated, Danzo coughed up a mouthful of blood, narrowly escaping death once more. He hid behind a tree, cautiously observing his surroundings, inwardly cursing.

It's one thing that Sasuke Uchiha can use a purple Susanoo we finally managed to injure him, and now another one is cheating. How are we supposed to play like this?

Doesn't the Tailed Beast Ball require charging? Where did the damn wind-up go? Damn it, how am I supposed to play like this? It was launched in an instant with Cero!

Suddenly, Danzo sensed the overwhelming malice of this world. Just because you have Bloodline Limit, does that make you superior? This world is unfair; for ordinary people like himself, it's a living hell.

With two lives at stake, Naruto now understood Danzo's trump card. As long as he didn't give him time to catch his breath and accelerated in the instant of the attack, Danzo would have no choice but to use his Sharingan pay for his life.

"Danzo, where are you? Don't hide!" Naruto, driving the Blood-colored Nine-Tails phantom through the forest, mocked, "Old man, it's time to sell some gold coins."

I broke a brick while moving bricks today, and the foreman made me work overtime to make up for it tomorrow night.
