One long minute

The high-speed wind blades created by the shuriken greatly increased their speed and power.

Before Kanami's clone could be hit, it was shredded by the wind blades.

Just as it was about to reach his main body, Kanami used the Kusanagi Sword to block the Wind Style: Shuriken attack.

With a forceful push of his arm, he Wind Style: Shuriken flying.

Upon impact with the wall, it instantly cut a long slit.

"Fortunately, I didn't dare to use my physical body to withstand it just now..."

Kanami glanced sideways at the crack in the wall, still feeling lingering fear.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Chaos!"

Danzō Shimura a barrage of Wind Release Ninjutsu, making him far more troublesome than any opponent Kanami had encountered before.

A long, extremely sharp whip of air, like a snake, shot out from Danzō Shimura's mouth.

The surrounding rocks were instantly shredded by the whip, and the arc-shaped Wind Release whip lashed out at Kanami from the front.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Kanami met the attack head-on with an even stronger gale, Danzō Shimura.

As the Wind Release Ninjutsu collided and neutralized, Kanami's gaze was fixed on the Sharingan on Danzō Shimura's arm.

He noticed that only one Sharingan was closed on Danzō's arm.

That means only one minute has passed, not even two minutes have gone by.

"How exactly did Sasuke defeat this old bastard?"

Kanami used Ninjutsu while throwing shuriken.

Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Flow River!

Instantly, black sludge flowed from Danzō's feet, Danzō stumble and fall into it, followed by a shuriken piercing his face.

However, he soon reappeared outside the area of black sludge, completely unharmed.

Only after truly fighting against Kanami did he understand why Takeshi and the others had failed. It wasn't because of Hyuga Hiashi, but because of the Red-haired Kid in front of him.

Danzō then raised his arm and glanced at the Sharingan, seeing the second one closed, before Hand Seals again.

Mao, Hai, Wei.

Then, Izanagi, the third Sharingan, was deployed.

After he finished setting things up, the shuriken that Kanami threw came straight at him.

It pierced his body directly, killing him instantly, but unfortunately, it reappeared on the other side.

Kanami's gaze sharpened, and at the same time Danzō's figure appeared, the Kusanagi Sword once again pierced through from dozens of meters away.

His senses gradually locked onto Danzō Shimura's Chakra. The moment he died and altered the facts, Kanami would sense his location.

This gave Kanami a great idea: if he could set up Ninjutsu at Danzō Shimura in advance, he would have no chance to react.

Kanami's thoughts instantly returned to the battle between Sasuke and Danzō Shimura on the bridge.

Karin's role wasn't just to heal and restore health; she also used her sensory abilities to help Sasuke suppress Danzō Shimura's Izanagi.

Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Flow River!

Kanami once again used his senses to pinpoint Danzō's location after his resurrection, and immediately used a restrictive Earth Release, followed by a flurry of shuriken and Kunai.

Danzō had no way to avoid being stabbed.

This is bad!

"If this continues, I might die before I can prepare for the next Izanagi!"

Danzō, who had just been resurrected Sharingan on his arm.

Looking up again, countless Kunai pierced towards him.

While using Earth Release: Mud River Flow to restrict Danzō's movements, Kanami threw shuriken and Kunai to kill him.

This allows for a near-seamless continuous attack, keeping Danzō Shimura.

Fortunately, he had taken weapons from those people during his assassination attempt in the Land of Hot Water, otherwise he really wouldn't have had enough.

"This minute feels so long."

Kanami his Gate of Pain, appeared somewhat pale under intense concentration.

Danzō Shimura had died countless times, realized something was wrong.

"How come this kid's Chakra seems inexhaustible? He's opening the Eight Inner Gates while randomly throwing out Ninjutsu?"

He was terrified, especially when he saw the third eye on his arm that was about to close completely.

He began Hand Seals as soon as he was resurrected.

However, after only forming the Hai Seal, his form dissipated and he was resurrected, but it was too late.

"Damn it! Just give it to me--"

Before he could finish his thought, he was killed again.

Danzō Shimura was truly panicked now. His dream of Hokage hadn't been realized yet, and he hadn't even seen Hiruzen Sarutobi fall.

He began to feel remorse, regretting that he hadn't been ruthless enough to put himself in danger for the sake of a useless member of his tribe.

Just like how Hiruzen Sarutobi stole the Hokage Position because of a single wrong decision back then.

Why am I always just a little bit short?!

"Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Flow River."

Kanami had pre-arranged a massive Earth Release: Mud River Flow beneath Danzō's resurrected feet.

Damn it! There's no chance left!

With Danzō Shimura's right shoulder exploded open, revealing a Giant Tree in front of him.

The giant tree, while crushing the Earth Release: Earth Flow River, also blocked the shuriken that Kanami had thrown.

Danzō Shimura behind a tree and Hand Seals again.

Mao, Hai, Wei.

Then, he deployed the fourth Sharingan, Izanagi.

Just as he finished setting it up, the Kusanagi Sword pierced through his body along with the tree.

Then it appeared on the other side again.

"So he successfully set up Izanagi again? Just one more minute..."

Kanami frowned slightly.

For others, they would have died from Chakra exhaustion long ago, but Kanami was different. After releasing countless Ninjutsu, he still felt tons of Chakra Tons surging within his body.

Moreover, the Hashirama Cells within his body are constantly accelerating the recovery of Chakra.

The only thing that concerned him was his perception; the intense focus on his perception was making his mind somewhat tired.

"Earth Release: Earth Release: Earth Flow River."

Sensing Danzō's location after his resurrection, Kanami quickly used Earth Release and threw out Kunai.

A large area of black sludge has reappeared at the location where Danzō was resurrected.

However, this time Danzō Shimura did not sit idly by and wait for his death. Instead, he took advantage of the time when Kanami had used the Kusanagi Sword to disrupt the rhythm and create an opening, and used Wind Release.

Using the recoil from the air exhaled from his mouth, he propelled his body to dodge the Kunai's attack.

"Wind Release · Vacuum Great Sphere!"

Danzō Shimura a deep breath and then exhaled a huge, circular, rotating mass of air pressure that shot towards Kanami.

Sensing the terrifying fluctuations within, Kanami's brows furrowed, and his Chakra instantly surged into the Fifth Gate, the Gate of Limit.

The Fifth Gate, the Gate of Limit, is open!

His skin instantly changed from pale pink to crimson, his hair flew up and stood on end, Chakra leaked out wildly.

The burst of Chakra collided with the Vacuum Great Sphere that pressed down on them.

The two forces instantly unleashed terrifying power.

The ripples from the explosion struck Kanami, sending him flying several meters away and smashing the wall behind him, leaving a spiderweb-like pattern.

A horrifying gash had been cut into his body by the high-pressure airflow of the Vacuum Great Sphere, from which blood was seeping.

The wound looked gruesome, but it was gradually healing.

"It seems the Fifth Gate the Gate of Limit is putting a lot of pressure on the body."

Kanami, having regained his footing, looked somewhat pained.

Unlike the previous four gates, after opening the Gate of Limit, he found that the Cell Activation he had used with Lightning Release Chakra produced unstable fluctuations.

The fact that he has Five Gates means that, with the enhancement of Cell Activation, the limit of physical damage that his body can withstand from the Eight Inner Gates is only the level of Six Gates to Seventh Gate.

On the other side, Danzō Shimura resurrected in another location.

When he saw Kanami's wound, his gaze immediately fixed on it.

They then discovered that beneath Kanami's torn clothes, white cells were healing his wounds.

"A perfect fusion?!"

Danzō Shimura looked astonished. He had spent half his life researching how to perfectly fuse the First Hokage's Cells, and now a real-life example was right before his eyes!
