Crushing Danzo

"Danzo, I truly feel ashamed for you! To have lived so many years and yet be less capable than a child like me! Can't you try to take this a little more seriously?"

"Damn you!" The experienced Danzo naturally knew this was Obito playing psychological games with him, but he still couldn't suppress his rising fury.

Danzo quickly formed hand seals with both hands, slap! He pressed his pale right arm against the ground.

Wood Release! Deep Forest Emergence!

Whoosh!

Massive trees erupted from the earth in an instant, growing rapidly. Their branches, like giant green pythons, sought to crush Obito on the spot!

"Oh? You've even resorted to Wood Release, but is this for landscaping?" Obito continued to taunt Danzo while dodging at high speed.

Obito's constant verbal jabs weren't for tactical purposes—they weren't needed!

He simply hated Danzo to the core from watching the anime in his past life on Earth! He just wanted to disgust him.

"Such petty tricks won't affect me! I will take those eyes of yours!" Obito's constant dodging made Danzo feel a sense of relief; dodging meant that bizarre ability wasn't invincible. As long as there was a weakness, he could win!

"Old dog, do you think you've found my weakness? I was just playing with you." Obito let the python-like branches pass right through his body.

Shikai! Ryujin Jakka! The blade ignited with roaring flames.

Danzo's pupils constricted sharply, and he instinctively pulled away from Obito... an instinct that seemed carved into his very bones.

Infernal Hell! A pillar of fire erupted into the sky. The intense explosion and heat instantly incinerated everything in the vicinity, and Danzo was reduced to ash in a heartbeat!

Light and shadow shifted, and Danzo reappeared, perfectly intact, though one eye on his arm had closed.

"Use whatever other moves you have. If you don't use them now, you won't get another chance."

Damn it! He's too strong! Why is he so strong? If I had this power, I would definitely become Hokage and lead Konoha to the pinnacle of the ninja world! Heaven is truly unfair!!! Danzo's expression grew increasingly twisted.

Fire Release! Shadow Clone Flame Bullet!

This was a jutsu Danzo had developed based on the principle of the Shadow Clone Shuriken! A single fireball rapidly split during its flight! One became three thousand! The range covered the entire battlefield!

Danzo quickly formed hand seals, Wind Release! Vacuum Serial Waves!

Dozens of buzzing, rotating wind blades attacked Obito in succession! The wind blades moved faster than the flame bullets, and with their assistance, the three thousand small fire bullets expanded rapidly! The power of the combined jutsu was evident.

Through constant probing, although Danzo didn't know the specifics of Obito's ability, he had identified some flaws in Kamui: it feared high-intensity, wide-range, sustained attacks!

As long as he could maintain high-output firepower, he could win!

Bankai! Zanka no Tachi! The flames on the Ryujin Jakka blade extinguished, leaving it looking like charred wood!

Zanka no Tachi, West: Remnant Sun Prison Garb! He channeled his chakra into 15 million degrees of heat, coating his body and blade. He looked like a war god draped in the scorching sun!

Whether it was the flame bullets or the wind blades, they were vaporized before they could even get close! The surrounding space seemed unable to withstand the heat of the sun, emitting cracking sounds! Black spatial fissures had already appeared where Obito stood!

"Danzo, the outcome of this battle was decided from the start. You are like a small insect in my hand; I can crush you whenever I please! I'm bored of playing now. You can go die!"

Danzo could no longer muster the courage to fight! He was a cowardly man who feared death. When the Second Hokage asked for someone to stay behind, he had been too afraid to speak up. Years ago, when a young Obito broke into the Root headquarters, he had fled Konoha out of cowardice.

When he learned of the Uchiha secret technique known as Izanagi, which could sacrifice an eye to erase unfavorable events and turn favorable ones into reality, he was ecstatic! It was as if it had been tailor-made for him.

However, the Sharingan had strong rejection properties; transplanting them into a non-Uchiha body placed a heavy burden on the host! But he had studied the First Hokage Cells with Orochimaru and knew their immense power; they could serve as the perfect engine for the Sharingan!

When he successfully transplanted the First Hokage Cells and obtained ten Sharingan by hunting down Uchiha clansmen, he had longed to return to Konoha immediately to kill that detestable brat and Hiruzen Sarutobi!

But his fear of death made him hold back; he still needed to accumulate power! Hanzo thought Danzo was training Anbu for him, but in reality, this was Danzo's own force! Even Amegakure was already in his pocket!

And yet, here was this persistent brat again!

Zanka no Tachi, Earth-and-Heaven Ashes!

The blade unleashed a slash, and everything in its path was reduced to ash! Even space itself was torn by fissures that refused to heal!

"Ahhh!" Danzo could do nothing but roar in fury. The speed of the slash was impossible to dodge; he could only watch as he was struck again and again, reduced to nothingness!

This sense of powerlessness drove Danzo mad! As time passed, the Sharingan on his arm had all closed!

Anger! Helplessness! Fear! Danzo's bloodshot eyes were filled with red veins! The First Hokage Cells within him stirred, hungrily trying to devour his body!

Obito watched Danzo with cold eyes, swinging his blade again and again to turn him into ash! This feeling was truly satisfying...

"Desperate? Do you feel the pain? Do you want to live? Just kneel down and say three times, 'Grandpa Obito, I was wrong, your grandson Danzo begs for your forgiveness!' and I'll let you leave. How about that?"

The hope of survival struck his dark heart like a beam of light. What was kneeling and saying a few words? As long as he lived, there was still hope! Konoha still needed his protection!

Thump! Danzo knelt on the ground and shouted, "Grandpa Obito, I was wrong, your grandson Danzo begs for your forgiveness! Grandpa Obito, I was wrong, your grandson Danzo begs for your forgiveness! Grandpa Obito, I was wrong, your grandson Danzo begs for your forgiveness!"

"Haha... haha..."

Obito laughed until his stomach hurt. "Old dog, you finally have a day like this!"

"Can I leave now?" Danzo asked, filled with hope.

"Of course you can. I'll send you out of this world right now!"

"You! You shameless Uchiha cur! I curse you to a miserable death! And that bitch Tsunade! You will all go to hell!" Danzo cursed loudly, his figure attempting to flee in an instant!

But no matter how fast he was, he couldn't outrun the slash of Zanka no Tachi! Danzo's final Sharingan closed!

A battle that had been a total rout from start to finish was over!

Danzo would never have dreamed he would die without a shred of dignity! Every day, he had fantasized about leading an army back to Konoha, slaughtering Uchiha Obito, overthrowing Hiruzen Sarutobi's rule, and becoming Hokage...
