You're Not Worthy of Dancing Before Me!

"Blind spots?"

"What do you mean?"

Tsunade, Jiraiya, Shimura Danzo, and the others all looked confused when they heard Chen Yiban's

Chen Yiban merely wore a crooked smirk and offered no answer or explanation.

"Hmph, stop bluffing. Even if you're the legendary ninja Uchiha Madara, you won't get the better of all of Konoha's ninja!" Shimura Danzo seemed rather pleased with himself.

Uchiha Madara had just displayed power of truly staggering magnitude.

Even Eight Gates Guy, with all Eight Inner Gates open, had failed to kill Uchiha Madara and had been effortlessly killed in return.

But—

Danzo slowly stroked the bandaged right arm with his left hand, then touched his equally bandaged right eye...

Confidence began to swell within him!

In fact:

That man's eyes are the finest source of Uchiha ocular power.

If I could get them...

Danzo could still think that way.

At this,

"Is that so?" Chen Yiban's cool, indifferent smile remained.

Jiraiya, standing nearby, felt a sudden, inexplicable unease.

Their enemy was the legendary ninja, Uchiha Madara, once known as the Asura of the Ninja World!

Jiraiya decided it was time to summon those two beings.

"Everyone, don't let your guard down. The enemy might—"

At that moment, Tsunade Hime tried to warn the Konoha Ninja around her.

But just as Chen Yiban had said... everyone had focused too much on him, keeping their eyes on Chen Yiban alone.

For a moment, no one thought that—

Shhk—!

Shhk—!

Two Root ninja stood behind Shimura Danzo, each holding a blade. One instantly chopped off Danzo's right arm, while the other decapitated him in the same instant.

"What?!" Tsunade, Jiraiya, Kakashi, Kurenai Yuhi, and all the other Konoha Ninja were stunned.

Danzo's headless body—the same Danzo who had been so pleased with himself moments earlier—fell to the ground...

"What are you doing?!"

Tsunade roared in fury, glaring at the two Root ninja now holding Shimura Danzo's right arm and head.

"Lord Danzo..." The Root ninja nearby looked just as disbelieving.

Then—

Whoosh—

One of the two Root ninja holding Danzo's arm and head suddenly erupted with powerful blue Chakra.

A blue, towering [Susanoo Stage Three], dozens of meters tall, instantly took shape, protecting them both inside its massive frame.

"That's... Susanoo!"

Among those sent reeling by the sudden burst of Susanoo, Tsunade Hime was shocked—then instantly understood.

Damn it, they were enemies in disguise!

Sure enough—

Whoosh—whoosh—

The two Root ninja transformed into Chen Yiban, each wearing red armor, long hair flowing.

They were, in fact, two Shadow Clones of Chen Yiban!

"Damn it, when did they..." Jiraiya exclaimed in shock.

"Elder Danzo..." Kurenai Yuhi couldn't believe that Shimura Danzo, one of Konoha's elders, had been killed just like that.

At that moment—

"As I said... did you really think I came to Konoha without making any plans or preparations?"

Chen Yiban's true body saw that his Shadow Clones had succeeded. Still holding his arms crossed before his chest, he gave a cold laugh.

As a transmigrator, how could Chen Yiban not understand Konoha?

How could he not know Shimura Danzo's secrets?

How could he not know that Danzo possessed Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan?

How could he not know that the old schemer had transplanted a whole right arm covered in ten Three Tomoe Sharingan, just to use the Uchiha's secret technique, Izanagi?

He knew!

Chen Yiban knew all of it!

So before entering Konoha—in fact, before he'd even set out—Chen Yiban had already formed a basic plan.

Shimura Danzo and Eight Gates Guy... Chen Yiban had considered them both!

He had actually sent these two Shadow Clones out and hidden them among the crowd before the battle even began.

Just now, after using the Transformation Technique to disguise themselves as Root ninja, they had blended into the group of Root ninja behind Shimura Danzo.

And then—

The plan had succeeded!

Shimura Danzo—eliminated!

There was no denying it...

Chen Yiban was a schemer himself.

And Chen Yiban had been right: Tsunade Hime, Jiraiya, Kakashi, and the others had all been too focused on what was happening with Chen Yiban himself.

They hadn't even considered that the people beside them might be enemies!

Even Danzo, now separated from his head, had only realized it in the instant before his death.

But it was too late!

"How can the legendary ninja Uchiha Madara do something so shameless?!"

At that moment, Mitaraishi Anko glared at Chen Yiban's true body and his two Shadow Clones, her eyes wide with outrage.

But as a ninja, Mitaraishi Anko was being rather hypocritical.

"This is what a real villain looks like, isn't it?" Chen Yiban replied with a faint smile.

Meanwhile—

"With a worm like you, you really think you can dance before me?"

The Shadow Clone holding Shimura Danzo's head looked down at it with disdain.

Danzo's eyes were still open in death!

He hadn't had time to activate [Izanagi].

Nor had he had time to use [Kotoamatsukami].

Perhaps Danzo hadn't realized that Chen Yiban was just like him—a master schemer!

In fact, Chen Yiban was even more underhanded than Shimura Danzo!

"Give us Danzo's body!"

Jiraiya suddenly attacked.

He launched a "Rasengan" at the Shadow Clone's [Susanoo Stage Three].

Boom!

Unfortunately, even a Stage One Susanoo couldn't be broken by an ordinary Rasengan. Much less Susanoo Stage Three!

The attack did nothing but make a noise.

Instead, [Susanoo Stage Three] punched Jiraiya back. Then another massive blue hand formed, creating another "Yatsuka no Magatama"—the same technique it had used not long ago—and hurled it at Jiraiya.

Whoosh—

Yatsuka no Magatama moved with astonishing speed and force.

Even Jiraiya was shaken to the core by the attack.

Boom!

Thankfully, he managed to dodge it!

But with the attack coming so suddenly and from such close range, Yatsuka no Magatama still cut a gash across Jiraiya's arm as he twisted aside at the last moment.

Blood flowed at once!

"Jiraiya, are you all right?" When Tsunade Hime saw him retreat, she hurried over to check on him.

Her hands moved just as quickly. She immediately used the Mystical Palm Technique to heal his injured arm.

Thankfully, Tsunade Hime's hemophobia had just been cured not long ago. Otherwise, forget treating Jiraiya—she would've started trembling the moment she saw blood.

"It's just a small wound." Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and forced a faint smile.

Elsewhere—

"Earth Release...!"

"Fire Release...!"

"Lightning Release...!"

"Expansion Jutsu!"

"Eight Trigrams Palm!"

Kakashi, Mitaraishi Anko, Kurenai Yuhi, and the other Konoha Jonin, along with many Anbu ninja, were unleashing all kinds of techniques against the nearest Susanoo Stage Three.

"Hah!" The two Shadow Clones of Chen Yiban inside Susanoo Stage Three didn't even consider them worthy of attention.

Thud—thud—

The two Shadow Clones controlled the towering Susanoo Stage Three as it strode toward Chen Yiban's true body, not far away.

All the while, the ninja techniques rained down on Susanoo Stage Three, but none of them had any effect.

Finally, annoyed by the barrage, a Shadow Clone willed Susanoo Stage Three to fling out a Yatsuka no Magatama. Chakra surged as it swept across the battlefield—

"Ah...!"

A great many Konoha Ninja were killed or injured once more.
