Danzo's Killing Move

Uchiha Yato said, "As expected of me. Please call me the renowned doctor of the new era."

As he spoke, an electronic chime rang out.

"Ding~"

"Congratulations, Host. You have fulfilled Tsunade's wish and changed Tsunade's fate."

"You have obtained a large amount of Emotion Coins."

...

"System energy has reached the required level. Upgrading to version 2.0 now."

"System functions cannot be used during the upgrade process, but Emotion Coins can still be obtained automatically."

"Additional functions will be unlocked after the upgrade."

"To compensate the Host for being unable to use the system during this period, all Emotion Coins obtained during the upgrade will be multiplied by 2.5."

Uchiha Yato, who had originally wanted to crack a joke and cheer everyone up, immediately burst into wild laughter, nearly doubling over with delight.

At last, this heaven-sent fortune has come to me!

Not one of you cash cows is getting away!

Just then, Tsunade spoke.

"Thank you for helping me. Didn't you say the Sand Shinobi Village had arrived? Let's go meet them."

But at that very moment, kunai and explosive tags suddenly appeared inside their guest room.

All three reacted swiftly, immediately leaping out of the blast and attack range.

The room then collapsed with a deafening crash.

Tsunade spoke first. She thought it was just the usual debt collectors coming after her.

"If you're collecting debts, then collect them. Is there really any need to wave blades around and take lives?"

The moment Uchiha Yato saw the newcomers, he understood what was going on.

These people had no specific target and killed anyone they saw. That meant they had come prepared.

Or rather, their goal was to slaughter everyone here.

From that alone, it was clear they were definitely not Tsunade's debt collectors. Otherwise, they would have gone straight for Tsunade.

Judging by their appearances, every one of them was tall and heavily built, like walking clubs.

That fit the traits of the Land of Lightning perfectly. Clearly, they were shinobi from the Hidden Cloud Village.

Most importantly, Uchiha Yato recognized two of them.

That was right—the Hidden Cloud Village's AB combination. The dark-skinned brothers.

Uchiha Yato told Tsunade, "They aren't wandering shinobi, and they aren't your creditors."

"They're shinobi from the Hidden Cloud Village. Their goal is probably to kill us."

At the mention of the Hidden Cloud Village, Tsunade recalled what had happened to Senju Nawaki.

The evidence had pointed toward the Hidden Cloud Village, claiming they had used explosive tags to blow Senju Nawaki to death.

That was why Orochimaru had gone to the Land of Lightning and released the Eight-Tails, causing a man-made catastrophe.

That incident alone had left Konoha and the Hidden Cloud Village with a deep grudge against each other.

Not to mention that during the Second Shinobi World War, the Second Hokage had died at the hands of the Hidden Cloud Village.

Once Tsunade confirmed their identities, rage immediately flared within her. Her younger brother and granduncle had both died at the hands of these bastards.

Uchiha Yato called out to the AB combination, "What's your background? State your names. I don't kill nobodies."

"Otherwise, even after you become ghosts, I won't know who you are. What if you end up seeking revenge against the wrong person?"

Damn, those two lines were pure mockery.

It was as if he were holding a loudspeaker and shouting at them.

"I'm not targeting you specifically. I'm targeting everyone."

"Everyone here is trash!"

Killer B could not hold back and replied in the rap-like cadence he was best at.

"Kid, don't get too cocky."

"Keep acting smug, and I'll beat you until you cry for your daddy and mommy."

(Imagine the gestures he made while rapping.)

A was more rational and did not fall for Uchiha Yato's provocation.

He said calmly, "Someone told me that the shinobi who caused the Eight-Tails to go berserk is here."

"Seeing people from Konoha Village, I know that information must be true."

"Then you can all stay here."

The moment he finished speaking, A activated his Lightning Release Chakra Mode armor and charged straight at them.

Tsunade took that as a provocation, and a fierce clash of strength and speed erupted at once.

Tsunade was in the prime of her youth, and she had just overcome her hemophobia. She had no fear of a fight.

Soon, the two of them were locked in a brawl.

Jiraiya, worried about Tsunade, immediately joined the battle as well.

Uchiha Yato ran over to Jiraiya and whispered something to him.

Jiraiya's eyes grew brighter and brighter, and then he nodded in agreement.

Jiraiya bit his finger and used the Summoning Technique to call forth Gamabunta.

Jiraiya said to Gamabunta, "Boss Bunta, spray toad oil at those dark-skinned shinobi."

Gamabunta did not need to fight. It only needed to spit oil.

What Uchiha Yato had told Jiraiya was naturally this.

"You cover them in a layer of toad oil, and I'll hit them with a vicious wave of Fire Release ninjutsu."

This was not Konoha territory anyway. Besides, they had bullied Tsunade, making Konoha's number one devoted Tsunade admirer's heart pound furiously. They had to pay the price.

Soon, a vast amount of oily liquid rained down over the ruins of the buildings and the surrounding forest.

Uchiha Itachi did not hesitate in the slightest and shouted, "Fire Release: Wildfire."

This move was originally a composite ninjutsu, and Uchiha Yato wielded it with exceptional ease. On top of that, he cast it instantly.

It had a wide range, covered a huge area, and carried more than enough firepower.

Now, with the lasting effect of toad oil and its added boost in power—

A vast sea of flames instantly rose, swallowing the ruins that had stood there before.

That sea of fire not only burned the ruins to ash, but also incinerated Madara Uchiha's satellite receiver—his White Zetsu clone—until nothing remained.

The lonely old man lost his ability to watch television from afar, and Uchiha Yato inexplicably gained another batch of Emotion Coins.

Seeing this, A's brows twitched violently.

No, I just used a skill and came over to throw out a basic attack.

And you guys immediately opened with your ultimate moves?

Shouldn't we test each other first?

Of course, Uchiha Yato knew how shinobi usually fought.

Under normal circumstances, shinobi would first throw long-range weapons such as kunai and shuriken to wear their opponents down.

Only then would they clash with ninjutsu or the taijutsu and genjutsu they specialized in.

But Uchiha Yato was no ordinary person. If you dared to throw out a basic attack, he would hit you with a full combo.

If you dared to use an ultimate move, he would dare to run.

His whole approach was to be as annoying and disgusting as possible.

Of course, they were simply unlucky this time. They had arrived just as the system granted its 2.5-times bonus, so he had to fleece them.

He had run into four shinobi from the original story. If he did not squeeze them for Emotion Coins, he would be letting himself down.

Killer B did not stand by and watch either. He directly used Gyuki's body to block the attack.

He could only do his best to protect a few of the shinobi who had come in the ambush and could not take care of all of them.

The only ones left were the AB combination and two or three jonin.

Uchiha Yato was rather surprised by this.

Killer B and Gyuki, the Eight-Tails, should have only recently re-established the seal.

Yet he had not expected Killer B to become the new jinchuriki so smoothly. Otherwise, only the AB combination would likely have remained after that wave.

Uchiha Yato did not like wasting time talking. Even if he did want to talk, he had to make sure the other side posed no threat to him first.

So he immediately closed in again and used another ninjutsu. "Fire Release: Great Meteor."

The splendor of Fire Release appeared once more. These two waves of Fire Release gave the Cloud shinobi a memory they would never forget.

Uchiha Yato continued bombarding them with ninjutsu. It could not be helped—possessing the trait Chakra Tons, he was just that willful. As long as someone protected him, he was the perfect artillery mage.

By the end, even Jiraiya started feeling sorry for the Hidden Cloud Village shinobi.

Jiraiya quietly sidled up beside Uchiha Yato and whispered, "If we keep fighting like this, what if it sparks a conflict between the two countries?"

"Could we be getting used by someone with ulterior motives?"

Hearing that, Uchiha Yato slightly reduced his firepower and said, "I don't even need to think with my brain to know there's a ninety percent chance they came here under the influence of their higher-ups."

"And only people in the village know our side's information. More accurately, only the higher-ups and people with status know."

Uchiha Yato said only those two things, but no matter how poor Jiraiya's political instincts were, he understood what Uchiha Yato meant.

The Third Hokage would not do something like killing the donkey after it had finished grinding the mill, and the two advisors were merely decorative ornaments of Konoha Village.

Then the answer was obvious: Danzo Shimura.
