Parallel Ninja World.
Uchiha Compound.
A purple giant sword tore through the night sky.
The gale howled.
It was the piercing sonic boom produced by the blade grinding against the air.
"Protect Lord Danzo!"
Several Root ninjas rushed forward.
Their hands flew through seals frantically.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Big Ball!"
"Earth Style: Earth Flow Wall!"
"Water Style: Water Wall!"
All kinds of high-level ninjutsu intertwined, forming a brilliantly colored composite defensive line.
Countless Explosive Tags were hurled into the air like a deadly rainstorm.
But it was meaningless.
Before absolute power, every struggle appeared utterly laughable.
Boom—!
The purple giant sword had yet to touch the ground.
Yet its terrifying sword pressure had already mercilessly crushed those ninjutsu.
The sturdy Earth Flow Wall collapsed like tofu.
The violent Wind Style and Water Style attacks could not even scratch Susanoo's crystal armor.
The Explosive Tags detonated in succession midair.
Flames and thick smoke instantly swallowed those Root ninjas.
Before they could even scream, they were crushed into pulp by the sword pressure.
Danzo's eyes nearly split as he desperately retreated.
But the blade's shadow had already engulfed his entire body.
"How can this be..."
That was the only thought left in Danzo's mind.
He was a man destined to control Konoha from the shadows, perhaps even become Hokage.
How could he die here?
Elsewhere.
"Everyone, heed my command!"
"Kill every Anbu and Root member who entered the compound!"
"Leave none alive!"
Fugaku Uchiha's Sharingan spun wildly.
The moment he finished speaking.
He became an afterimage and lunged straight at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
To capture bandits, first capture their leader.
As long as he restrained the Third Hokage, the Uchiha had already won half the battle.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's expression changed drastically.
He hurriedly drew the Golden Cudgel and held it across his chest
