Ye Fan, are you a god?

Danzo watched Jiraiya's smile, a sense of foreboding washing over him. He quickly rushed towards a gap just large enough for a person to pass through.

As soon as he stepped through the gap, it closed with incredible speed.

Danzo immediately realized that the crack in the fleshy wall had been deliberately opened by Jiraiya, intended to lure him in!

Large sections of the fleshy wall rapidly squeezed towards him, some of them already wrapping around his body.

Where the fleshy wall touched, his clothes were instantly corroded, as if he had been doused with a basin of concentrated sulfuric acid.

"This is bad!"

Danzo realized the gravity of the situation. If he were completely enveloped by the fleshy wall, he would have no power to resist.

Seeing the crack in the fleshy wall completely reseal and feeling himself almost completely restrained, Danzo immediately unleashed a ninjutsu: "Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!"

For a moment, the fleshy wall was filled with a scythe-like aura.

Jiraiya, controlling the fleshy wall, frowned slightly. He felt as if his chakra had been severed by something.

Bang!

Without chakra support, the fleshy wall was blasted apart by Danzo's ninjutsu.

"Hoo... hoo... hoo..."

Regaining his freedom, Danzo gasped for air. He had almost been completely bound.

If he had been fully enveloped by the fleshy wall, he would have truly been forced to use his trump card.

"Jiraiya, your ninjutsu is indeed quite troublesome!"

The bandages on Danzo's entire right arm had been corroded away, revealing an arm cultivated with Hashirama Cells.

"He actually went through with it!"

When everyone saw the arm cultivated with Hashirama Cells, though they had been somewhat prepared, they couldn't help but be astonished.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!"

Danzo knew he couldn't delay for too long; the longer he waited, the more disadvantageous the situation would become for him.

After spitting the Vacuum Wave from his mouth, Danzo didn't hesitate and unleashed another ninjutsu.

This ninjutsu caused the Konoha elders present to turn pale with shock, and even the Third Hokage found it hard to believe.

"Wood Style: Violent Gun Tree!"

As this ninjutsu was used, Danzo's right hand instantly transformed into a highly destructive tree, striking the same section of the fleshy wall alongside the Vacuum Wave.

Seeing Danzo use Wood Release, Jiraiya sensed trouble and quickly poured a large amount of chakra into the fleshy wall.

Having learned from the previous encounter, Jiraiya was extremely focused.

Boom!

A deafening roar erupted when Danzo's ninjutsu collided with the fleshy wall.

"Damn it, a moment too slow!"

Jiraiya felt that the fleshy wall had already been damaged and quickly pursued.

Ye Fan, witnessing this, marveled that Danzo, a ninja with Kage-level strength, possessed considerable combat intelligence.

Danzo knew that his ninjutsu alone wouldn't be enough to create a hole for him to escape. Therefore, he had first severed the chakra with Vacuum Wave and then used Wood Release to break through.

"Wood Release, Danzo actually possesses the First Hokage's Kekkei Genkai!"

"According to what Ye Fan said, Danzo also possesses the Uchiha Clan's Kekkei Genkai, the Sharingan. Doesn't that mean he possesses two extremely powerful Kekkei Genkai simultaneously?!"

The Konoha elders were still lost in shock, their minds blank.

"Danzo's strength likely exceeds our imaginations by far. Hurry and assist Jiraiya!"

The Third Hokage shouted, finally pulling them out of their shock.

Nara Shikaku and the Land of Fire Representative immediately followed the Third Hokage, while the Anbu representative went to gather the others from the Anbu, preparing to gain full control over Root.

Escaping the Toad Mouth Binding Technique, Danzo breathed in the fresh air and gazed at the azure sky, finding everything to be wonderful.

He never wanted to enter that barrier a second time; it was truly heart-stopping.

In an open clearing, Danzo, Jiraiya, and Ye Fan stood facing each other, their expressions grave.

"Jiraiya, when facing you, I must be serious."

"You are far more troublesome than that fellow Hiruzen Sarutobi!"

Danzo deliberately avoided mentioning Ye Fan's name as he calmly unsealed his right arm layer by layer.

Jiraiya understood Danzo's actions immediately.

"You're going to use the Sharingan, aren't you? You old scoundrel, though you're not much to look at, you certainly have some skills."

"It seems I've been underestimated!" Ye Fan touched his chin, preparing to give Danzo an unforgettable lesson.

At the same time, the Third Hokage and Nara Shikaku also arrived.

The moment they arrived, they witnessed a scene they would never forget in their lives.

As Ye Fan, standing beside Jiraiya, dashed towards Danzo at an incredible speed, leaving afterimages in his wake just like in the Hokage's office.

"Ye Fan, you're still too green. This is a battle between me and Jiraiya!"

Danzo sneered and remained rooted to the spot.

He had been guarding against Ye Fan for a long time. Knowing he couldn't match Ye Fan's speed, he decided not to dodge at all.

While escaping, Danzo had secretly cast a ninjutsu, wrapping his entire body in a blade of wind-style chakra, specifically waiting for Ye Fan to make a move.

"Ye Fan, be careful!"

"Come on, with such speed, you can't possibly stop. Just wait for your body to be torn apart by my wind-style chakra blade!"

"Hmph, Danzo, you think too highly of yourself!"

Ye Fan snorted, his speed not only undiminished but actually increasing.

Danzo's little trick was completely undetectable by Ye Fan's "Qi" perception.

This level of power couldn't possibly harm Ye Fan.

"Danzo, I'd like to see how many times you can use Izanagi with only eleven Sharingan!"

Ye Fan arrived beside Danzo in the blink of an eye and whispered in his ear.

Immediately after, Ye Fan raised his hand and delivered a powerful slap to Danzo's face.

Danzo's body was instantly sent flying.

Before he even hit the ground, Ye Fan caught up to him again and unleashed a flurry of punches, beating him until he was spitting blood and completely defenseless.

As for the ninjutsu Danzo had secretly cast beforehand, it was now a joke, unable to stop or harm Ye Fan!

Ye Fan's speed grew faster and faster, and the force of his blows increased.

Every punch thrown and every kick landed precisely on bone.

In just about half a second, Ye Fan delivered Danzo a "full body bones shattered into dust" combo.

Bang!

Danzo's body hit the ground like a puddle of mud, completely limp.

Nara Shikaku and the Land of Fire Representative, witnessing this, had no idea what had happened.

"Dan... Dan... What happened to Danzo?" the Land of Fire Representative stammered, trembling all over.

Nara Shikaku's body was also shaking: "It looks like... it looks like Ye Fan instantly defeated him?"

The Third Hokage and Jiraiya were also shocked by Ye Fan's actions.

Although the Third Hokage had witnessed Ye Fan's strength before, the power displayed this time seemed much greater than when he fought Orochimaru.

"Ye Fan, is your strength truly within the realm of what a human can achieve?"

"Could you be a god?"

The Third Hokage stood frozen, lost and bewildered in the wind.
