Watching Danzo and dozens of Root ninjas all fall into pools of blood felt like witnessing an incomprehensible nightmare.
After all, General Winter had frozen time and space throughout the underground world just moments ago. Aside from Hane, all of their thoughts had been frozen and halted in that instant.
In their minds, they had only seen dozens of their companions unleash ninjutsu to bombard Hane, who was sealed by the Self-Exerting Curse Binding Formation. Then, in the blink of an eye, things had become like this.
"What... happened just now...?"
"Was it a space-time ninjutsu...?"
Another Sharingan on his arm quietly closed. Recalling the Mahapadma Hane had used through General Winter, Danzo emerged once more from the illusory void with shock written all over his face. The ability to instantly kill dozens of ninjas, himself included, had made him fully experience the fear of death.
"No, it wasn't space-time ninjutsu..."
His deep gaze fixed tightly on Hane and General Winter, whose body continuously emitted white frost, as Danzo thought rapidly. "To instantly kill dozens of ninjas, including me, without even giving us a chance to react... that feeling was practically as if time itself had been frozen..."
If he had not possessed Izanagi, which allowed him to freely switch between reality and illusion, he would have long since become a real corpse lying on the ground, just like those dozens of Root ninjas under his command.
"This ability should surpass even space-time ninjutsu. It's an unknown forbidden power..."
"Sure enough, you've become an existence capable of threatening the entire Ninja World, Yakushi Hane..."
Danzo watched Hane, who stood proudly amid the corpses scattered across the ground, his eyes trembling incessantly. He could not determine whether Hane could use that ability again—the ability that had instantly killed him without even
