"How exactly are we supposed to defeat this monster?"
Bright Mirror's warning barely pulled the single-minded White Fang out of his grief. He tightened his grip on the short blade in his hand and slashed apart a wave of black mud surging toward him, then urgently asked about the next step of the battle plan.
In response, Bright Mirror also waved a hand, using a combination of Transfiguration Spell and Earth Release ninjutsu to halt the black mud's outward spread before giving an answer that was almost despairing.
"At this point, killing Danzō through physical means is practically impossible. As for sealing techniques... if even a sealing master on Mito Uzumaki's level wasn't confident, then I doubt anyone else could come up with a countermeasure against a Danzō modified by the Great Collective. So now, we can only follow the original plan and rely on the 'Secret Pact Seal ritual' to solve this problem."
"How confident are you?"
"Much more confident than when we were directly facing the entire complete-form Great Collective."
"Fine, then we'll do it!"
White Fang asked no further questions.
He grabbed Bright Mirror, who had been sitting on his shoulder, in one hand. Then, using the momentum of his charge, he hurled him directly toward the bamboo hut where Lady Mito was! At the same time, he unleashed all the chakra in his body, activated his custom ninja gear, and charged into the boundless sea of black mud before him!
...Bright Mirror, suddenly used as a thrown weapon, did not voice any objections.
In truth, he did not have time to voice any!
Since the barrier had broken, Mito Uzumaki had drawn upon the chakra stored in her Yin Seal to forcibly extract chakra from the Nine-Tails and throw herself into the battle against Danzō. By
