Danzo's Choice

Under the combined bombardment of five nature transformations, the entire land had been utterly ravaged.

If Hiruzen Sarutobi had not ordered the other ninja to withdraw beforehand, no one knew how many people would have died by now.

Roar!

A horrifying roar spread from within the crater. As the sound wave expanded, the entire ground
