Vacuum Infinite Sword

To become the hero of the village, protect the villagers, and finally become the Hokage!

This was the most modest wish of Danzo, but it was a pity that he had been stuck at the very last step his entire life.

Ever since Senju Tobirama designated Sarutobi Hiruzen as his successor, Danzo knew that he had no hope left in this life. At most, he would remain the current assistant to the Hokage and a consultant elder.

However, things were different now.

Guo Wang had replaced him.

"If you want to become the Hokage, your image must first become a bit more positive."

If it were the Danzo of the past, facing the ultimate form of the Third Raikage, he would likely already be considering a retreat. But now, he was thinking about seizing this opportunity to shatter the body that was touted as the strongest in the shinobi world.

"Listen, only you can keep up with the Raikage's speed, but your Wind Release has not yet reached the level where it can easily break through his defense. Therefore, you need to create an opportunity for me to complete a technique."

Namikaze Minato heard Danzo's plan, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"I didn't expect that you had actually completed such a technique, Senior."

Although he was the youngest Kage-level ninja in the shinobi world, Namikaze Minato's lethality was reflected in his indiscriminate killing power against ninjas. Except for freaks like the Raikage with astonishing defenses, others—whether they were Jonin or Kage-level—would never dare to let him get close when facing a space-time ninjutsu like the Flying Thunder God.

To the Flying Thunder God, ten Jonin or a hundred Jonin simply meant more throat-slitting motions with a kunai.

However, against a freak like the Raikage who could take a Rasengan head-on without a scratch, Namikaze Minato had encountered his most difficult opponent since the Third Shinobi World War.

"This is a ninjutsu created specifically to avenge the debt for my right eye. With your attainments in sealing techniques, it won't be difficult if you want to learn it."

As Guo Wang spoke, his gaze drifted toward Nara Shikamaru and Inoichi Yamanaka, who were already prepared.

"Everything is set, Elder."

The two strongest controllers of Konoha were ready to strike. Namikaze Minato took out a scroll, drew blood across his index finger, and dozens of specially crafted kunai had already been embedded in every corner of the battlefield.

"I have always wanted to complete the shape transformation of the Rasengan. I didn't have any leads before, but your technique has given me inspiration. If there is time after the war, please enlighten me."

Before his voice had even faded, he had already met the charging Raikage.

Although he could not take him head-on, relying on the teleportation of space-time, he was still able to interfere and harass him from the sides.

On the battlefield, pitch-black lightning rampaged, yet it could never break through the constraints of the golden flash. The Hell Stab, which relied on charging to display its power, gradually slowed down, no longer as invincible as it had been before.

"After the Lightning Release Armor is activated, due to the all-around improvement in physical stats—especially speed and durability—only Wind Release, which has a wide range and sharp characteristics, can pose a threat to him. In the last battle, Danzo's strongest Vacuum Blade was only able to hit and break his Lightning Release Armor because the two Sages from Mount Myoboku performed Sage Art Genjutsu."

When he was in Konoha, Guo Wang clearly understood that one day he would face the Raikage again.

Beyond the war, it was also because he needed to fulfill the obsession of the original host.

A debt of an eye could not be swallowed in silence.

And for a known opponent, formulating a detailed combat strategy was indispensable.

The Lightning Release Armor, known as the strongest shield, and the Four-Finger Nukite of the Hell Stab, known as the strongest spear, were not without methods of counteraction.

Spears and shields are inherently relative!

With the help of Jiraiya and the two Sages, Danzo was able to break the Lightning Release Armor with the Vacuum Blade, which meant that the Raikage's body had a limit to what it could withstand. It was just that one Vacuum Blade was far from enough to kill him.

What was needed was a Wind Release with a wider range, sharper attacks, and greater speed.

As a cultivator who had condensed a Primordial Spirit in the Dao Realm, Guo Wang had only just begun to experiment with the Chakra energy system for a very short time. However, during his decades with the Five-Colored Stone, he had watched Danzo create more than a dozen Wind Release ninjutsu of the Vacuum Series from scratch, and he had long since deduced the final point of this series.

The pinnacle of ninjutsu, S-rank!

In fact, the Vacuum Blade had already stepped into the threshold of S-rank; both its nature and shape transformation had been perfected.

But the flaw was the casting time, the need for teammates to help control the target, and the fact that its speed depended on the caster's own attack speed.

If Danzo had the speed of Namikaze Minato, the control of Ino-Shika-Cho, and the instant-cast capability like Shinra Sei, then he could truly avenge himself against the Raikage alone.

However, war was, after all, a confrontation between two forces.

A battle between generals was not just a simple one-on-one, but a comprehensive competition of the most elite combat teams.

"If you want to blame someone, blame your teammates for being incompetent."

As his gaze shifted, the Sharingan had already scanned the entire battlefield.

Aburame Torune's insect technique, combined with a Root squad, suppressed the Jinchuriki and the Fourth Raikage.

"Is it because of the fear of genjutsu that they cannot exert their full strength?"

With one look, Guo Wang knew that being able to maintain this situation was thanks to Shisui's masterful genjutsu and the Susanoo.

The Sharingan perfectly countered the reckless brute and the Jinchuriki who had not yet achieved harmony with their Tailed Beast.

"Torifu's child has not disgraced our reputation."

On the other side, Choza Akimichi in Butterfly Mode displayed destructive power second only to the Raikage, leading two Jonin to suppress the Raikage's remaining Shadow Guard. The Jonin with Lava Release and Magnet Release Kekkei Genkai simply could not break through Konoha's formation to support the Raikage.

"One-Finger Nukite!"

Accompanied by a roar, the Third Raikage finally unleashed the strongest spear in the shinobi world. Even though Namikaze Minato used the Flying Thunder God to flash away in time, a deep wound was still carved into his chest, dripping with blood.

But at the same time, he had completed the task assigned by Guo Wang.

In the brief yet thrilling duel of god-like speed, tadpole-like sealing runes were imprinted onto the Raikage's waist, forming two characters... Infinite!

"Sealing technique, the mark of the Flying Thunder God? No, there's a difference!"

The Raikage's combat experience was undeniably rich, yet faced with sealing runes he had never seen before, he still failed to anticipate his opponent's intentions.

"Forget it, I'll use One-Finger Nukite, charge straight at that old dog Danzo, blow his head off, and end this war once and for all."

With this thought in mind, the Raikage, who had temporarily neutralized Namikaze Minato, did not waste this rare opportunity. Electric sparks erupted from his deep green eyes as he activated his strongest One-Finger Nukite, teleporting right in front of Guo Wang in less time than it took to blink.

"Your fighting style remains as reckless as ever; have you not stopped to consider why I haven't moved from this spot since the beginning?"

Facing the Raikage's strongest thrust, Guo Wang's expression remained unchanged as pitch-black shadows seeped out from behind him, connecting with his opponent's shadow.

"Mind Destruction Jutsu!"

"Shadow Possession Jutsu, successful!"

Although the control exerted by the two Oni took effect, it would not last long—two breaths at most.

In a flash of thought, the last glowing Four-Diamond Prism in Guo Wang's right Mangekyo spun wildly. The technique he had long kept in reserve erupted, and the final secret art of the Vacuum Series, which even Danzo himself had never completed, was brought into the world by his hand.

"Savor this well, the technique I created while enduring the excruciating pain in my right eye."

"Vacuum Infinite Sword!"
