Shimura Danzō! Death!

"Stop it! Uchiha Genki!"

Jiraiya stood at the edge of the battlefield, his Sage Mode Chakra surging wildly, yet he could only watch the tragedy unfold. He let out a roar of despair, hoarse with fury, "Just because you're in pain, does that mean all the innocent people have to pay the price?!

By doing this! What's the difference between you and Itachi Uchiha! And Shimura Danzō! You're all executioners consumed by hatred!"

However, with Itachi Uchiha's death, the Genki, who still held a sliver of complex emotion, seemed to have had his last shred of "humanity" completely stripped away.

He no longer wore the manic smile from moments ago. All that remained was a deathly silence, a cold indifference, and a deep-seated madness that craved the destruction of everything.

Where the Susanoo Armor's greatsword swung, no life could remain. All that was left in its wake were scorched ruins and thick mud mixed with blood.

In less than half an hour, the ancestral lands of the Mitokado Clan and the Utatane Clan followed in the footsteps of the Sarutobi Clan, completely reduced to silent ruins. Two families that had prospered for hundreds of years were thus annihilated.

"Uchiha Genki! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to skin you alive! I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death! Aaaah--!!"

Utatane Koharu, staring at the complete disappearance of her clan before her eyes, her hair disheveled, her eyes bloodshot, let out a desperate roar like a vengeful spirit. She charged towards the Susanoo Armor with all her might, appearing so small and pathetic.

Beside her, Mitokado Homura stood frozen, his eyes empty as he gazed in the direction of his clan's destruction. His face was devoid of any expression, only an endless despair spreading across it.

His body trembled slightly, but he lacked the strength to even lift his hand.

Yet, when Uchiha Genki heard Utatane Koharu's roar, his gaze didn't even flicker.

He merely controlled the Susanoo Armor, slowly raising its massive foot, and stomped down fiercely towards the tiny figure.

"Boom--!"

The giant foot landed, kicking up dust and smoke.

The next second, under Utatane Koharu's gaze, frozen in despair, her body was instantly crushed into a bloody pulp. Blood seeped from the gaps in the giant foot, staining the earth beneath it red.

Simultaneously, the Eight-Handled Sword swung down again. A black sword energy instantly pierced through Mitokado Homura's body, along with a large swathe of land behind him, blasting them into a massive crater and completely erasing him from existence.

After dealing with the two, Genki, controlling the Susanoo Armor, casually unleashed several sword energies, slaughtering thousands of Konoha ninja who were attempting to flee.

Then, ignoring the chaos of the battlefield, he controlled the Susanoo Armor like a soulless puppet, walking with a blank stare towards the hidden Root Base deep within Konoha.

Meanwhile, inside the Root Organization's underground base, Shimura Danzō, watching through his surveillance ninjutsu as the sky-obscuring Susanoo Armor lumbered towards him, felt his blood run cold. His scalp prickled, and he froze in place.

Why is he coming for me?!

He had initially thought Genki's targets were only the Konoha high command and ordinary villagers. By hiding in the secret Root Base, he might have escaped.

But the scene before him shattered his wishful thinking.

Without any hesitation, Shimura Danzō's expression turned ferocious and decisive.

He snatched the confidential documents from his desk and stuffed them into his clothes, then gathered several important scrolls into his possession. He turned and fled towards the base's secret exit.

He didn't want to perish with this lunatic here. He hadn't become Hokage yet, and his ambitions were yet to be realized!

However, just as he burst out of the Root Base's secret exit, a black sword energy suddenly descended from the sky, instantly piercing through the entire Konoha village and precisely striking his body.

"Pfft--"

Shimura Danzō didn't even have time to let out a scream before his body was completely torn apart by the sword energy, instantly turning into ashes.

A moment later, a void of energy coalesced in the same spot, and Shimura Danzō's figure reappeared from the void.

He gasped for air, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his face a mask of terror and relief. He stared intently at the Susanoo Armor that had already appeared before him.

"Izanagi"!

This was a forbidden jutsu of the Uchiha clan, capable of consuming a Three-Tomoe Sharingan to turn fatal damage into a dream, thus evading death.

He had long since transplanted multiple Sharingan eyes for himself, preparing for such desperate situations.

"No... You can't do this to me!" Shimura Danzō suppressed the fear in his heart and roared at Genki in the air, "I am an elder of Konoha! A meritorious official who protected Konoha! If you dare kill me, you'll be an enemy to the entire ninja world! Aaaah--!!"

Before his threat was finished, another sword energy struck, reducing his body to ashes once more.

A short while later, Shimura Danzō revived in the same spot.

But the excruciating pain of being torn apart by the sword energy was still clearly etched in his mind, filling him with despair that came from the depths of his soul.

"Bastard! Kill him! Quickly! All of you, attack him!" Shimura Danzō turned and roared into the Root Base, attempting to command his subordinate ninja to counterattack.

But as soon as he spoke, Uchiha Genki once again controlled the Susanoo Armor and swung its greatsword, killing him and several Root ninja who had rushed out, once again.

Once, twice, thrice...

Uchiha Genki, like a cat playing with a mouse, completely ignored the frenzied attacks of the Root Organization members and wantonly slaughtered Shimura Danzō repeatedly.

Each revival meant the extinguishing of a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, and each death meant the repetition of extreme agony.

Shimura Danzō's emotions gradually shifted from initial terror and relief to breakdown and numbness.

He tried to escape, but was precisely hit by sword energy every time.

He tried to resist, but didn't even have the qualification to get close to the Susanoo Armor.

He tried to beg for mercy, but there was no possibility of making Genki stop for even a second.

In just half an hour, all the Three-Tomoe Sharingan transplanted onto Shimura Danzō's arms and face had completely closed, losing all their luster.

He no longer had the capital to revive.

"Damn it! I haven't become Hokage yet! I was so close to becoming Hokage!" Shimura Danzō collapsed onto the ground, his hair disheveled, his face covered in blood and tears, letting out a roar of despair and unwillingness. "I am the one most suited to protect Konoha! How can I die here!"

"Vile mongrel!" He looked up, glaring venomously at Uchiha Genki in the air, and uttered his final, vicious curse, "You won't get away with this either! Disappear along with this filthy world!"
