A place of nothingness.
The spaces twisted and intertwined, creating a bizarre and surreal scene.
In this area, time and space seem to have lost their function; specks of phosphorescent light float silently in mid-air, as if time has stood still.
"Sir, this is where the Yang Organization appeared."
A member of the Anbu spoke respectfully to Danzo.
"There's actually such a place in the Shinobi World."
Looking at the distorted spacetime around him, Danzo sighed.
Turning around, Danzo looked at the hundreds of Root members behind him.
These hundreds of battle-hardened Jonin are the true foundation of the organization.
It was this force that fueled Danzo's ever-growing ambition.
"This is the location of the Yang Organization."
Danzo surveyed the Root members below.
"Countless dangers may await us inside, and many of us will not make it out alive."
"But, for the future of Konoha, are you afraid to die?"
All the root members below had unwavering gazes, their eyes revealing fervor.
"Don't be afraid!"
Danzo nodded in satisfaction.
This is the power he has cultivated over half his life.
Undeterred by life or death, with hearts set on a bright future for Konoha!
All these sacrifices will be worthwhile if he can become the Fifth Hokage!
Danzo a deep breath and pointed to the distorted entrance in the void.
"Set off!"
The group entered without making a sound, one after another in an orderly fashion.
A moment later, the once densely packed crowd had completely disappeared, all of them having entered.
Danzo pondered for a moment, then stepped into the group as well.
The Void remained as quiet as ever, unchanged by the arrival of Gen and the others.
After a while.
The distorted entrance suddenly began to vibrate violently, and dark, gaping cracks appeared intermittently in the space.
"Whoosh!"
A figure darted out of the entrance in a panic.
Blood stained half of his body, and his once arrogant eyes were now filled with panic.
"Run? Let's see where you can run to."
A clear, cool voice came from inside the entrance, carrying an ethereal quality.
"Don't push your luck!"
Danzo gritted his teeth and roared, but his body betrayed him as he fled at top speed.
"Hmph, unauthorized intrusion, who's pushing their luck?"
The cold voice suddenly became clear, and another figure rushed out of the entrance.
Dressed in white, with flowing black hair and a mask on her face.
On the forehead of the mask, there is a small character "yin".
Yin Mask!
Danzo had no choice but to flee for his life.
On his bandaged arm, three of the ten Sharingan that were once wide open are now permanently closed.
Three times!
Three times in total!
If it weren't for his possession of Izanagi, his body would be cold by now!
His three minutes of invincibility allowed him to break free from the terrifying attack.
All the members of Root that he led perished in that terrifying place.
"Don't run away, you can't escape."
The Yin Mask followed closely behind, his tone showing no sign of fatigue.
"Void Release - Subspace Slash!"
As Danzo fled, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis approaching.
And Izanagi's time has come!
With a determined effort, Danzo activated Izanagi once more, and another Sharingan on his arm closed.
A ripple spread through the space, cleaving Danzo in two.
The next moment, Danzo in two, instantly healed, and his escape speed increased dramatically.
The man in the Yin Mask was taken aback, and his speed immediately slowed down.
This has happened countless times already.
This runaway guy keeps coming back to life.
That's right.
In her eyes, Danzo's current state is that of a resurrection.
Like they can't be killed!
Just as she was about to continue the pursuit, an aged voice reached her ears.
"Don't chase him, you won't be able to kill him in a short time."
The Yin Mask looked at Danzo, who had fled into the distance, with some resentment.
It was so close.
But this guy just just won't die.
"Tell everyone to get ready."
The Yin Mask turned around, somewhat confused, and looked into the void.
"One day later, with everything in hand, everyone set off..."
"Konoha!"
Yin Mask's bright eyes lit up, and a smile curled at the corner of her mouth beneath the mask.
Should we go to Konoha?
That damn brat...
We'll meet again!
Danzo had been fleeing relentlessly, was panting heavily, looking back with lingering fear.
The ghostly figure had long since vanished.
He plopped down next to a big tree, overwhelmed with a mix of regret and resentment.
His roots...
The foundation he built with half his life's blood...
In just a few hours...
It's all gone!
Danzo shuddered at the thought of the horrors inside the entrance.
What kind of scene was that?
A sea of people, each and every one of them Jonin- level ninja!
What drove him to despair the most were those Yin Mask.
There are hundreds of them, each possessing strength comparable to Kage Level!
What exactly is this place?
Such power...
Even the entire Shinobi World combined couldn't compare!
With a regretful sigh, Danzo dragged his heavily injured body slowly toward Konoha.
This time, the root...
Declared annihilation!
One day later.
The entrance to Konoha was as quiet as ever.
The two ninjas on duty chatted idly, occasionally glancing at the activity outside the door.
"Izumo, did you read yesterday's Konoha Daily?"
One of the ninjas on duty leaned close to the other and whispered something in his ear.
Another ninja on duty exclaimed, his eyes lighting up, "I saw it! That was really exciting!"
"Yes, yes, Itachi the God is Itachi the God after all. Jonin are completely powerless Jonin him."
The ninja on duty who started the topic had stars in his eyes.
"Don't even mention Jonin, even elite Jonin couldn't withstand it!"
"Perhaps... even the Third Hokage wouldn't be a match for Itachi the God."
"I really hope that the next Hokage will be Itachi the God, so that Konoha can truly have peace!"
The two chattered on and on, so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice a bloodstained figure staggering toward the door.
"Cough cough cough."
A violent cough brought the two back to reality.
"Who!"
Instantly, the two entered a state of combat readiness, one moving forward and the other backward.
"Go and summon Sarutobi Hiruzen, hurry!"
Blood trickled from Danzo's mouth.
Although Izanagi could alter the cause and effect of death, the injuries within his body continued to worsen.
Having finally escaped back to Konoha, Danzo was far from relieved.
Because he knew that the Yang Organization was likely to launch a major attack on Konoha!
We must inform Sarutobi Hiruzen of the information immediately and make preparations as soon as possible!
The two ninjas on duty cautiously approached, and when they saw Danzo's familiar face, they couldn't help but shudder.
"Danzo!"
A ninja on duty stepped forward to help him up.
Another ninja on duty ran quickly toward the Hokage Building.
The formidable Danzo has actually suffered such a severe injury!
A dark cloud hung over their hearts.
That ominous feeling grew stronger and stronger!
