The punch, imbued with the power of the Six Paths, tore through the air with a deafening roar. The very atmosphere seemed to split apart, and the ground trembled as if an earthquake had struck.
Danzō, caught off guard, could only watch in horror as the massive fist closed in on him. He tried to dodge, but Akira Sarutobi's speed was simply too great. Before he could react, the punch connected.
The impact was catastrophic. Danzō was sent flying backward, smashing through several walls and leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. The force of the blow was so immense that it created a crater where he had once stood.
The Root ninja, finally snapping out of their daze, rushed to Danzō's aid. But it was too late. Danzō's body lay broken and lifeless in the crater, his eyes wide open in eternal shock.

Orochimaru chuckled. "I see. Well, I won't stand in your way, Akira Sarutobi. After all, you've proven yourself to be a force to be reckoned with."
Akira Sarutobi turned to the remaining Root ninja. "Listen up, all of you. Danzō is dead. Root is now under my command. Those who wish to continue serving Konoha under my leadership, welcome. Those who do not, leave now. I will not tolerate dissent or disloyalty."
The ninja exchanged glances, then one by one, they knelt before Akira Sarutobi. "We are yours to command, Lord Akira Sarutobi."
