"Sir, could this be an offensive Ninjutsu?"
One of the Root members couldn't help but ask.
They all knew Nagato was there to kill Danzo, so why would someone like that use a harmless Ninjutsu?
"No! That's not it!"
Danzo frowned at first, then retorted, "If it were an offensive Ninjutsu, it should be aimed at me, not us."
"Besides, this little black ball doesn't seem to be harmful at all!"
Danzo calmly analyzed the situation, his eyes gleaming with wisdom.
That seems to make sense?
The members of the Root listened, exchanged glances, and could only stand there silently watching.
Whoosh!
Where is that wind coming from? It's blowing upwards!
Danzo frowned, then his expression changed as he looked up.
Could it be?
"Not good!"
Seeing the black sphere radiating suction, Danzo contracted, and he immediately burrowed into the soil to avoid the Chibaku Tensei.
But is it effective?
Just as Danzo burrowed into the soil, the originally weak suction force of Chibaku Tensei suddenly increased!
First came dry leaves and fine dust, then fist-sized stones, which the Root members were now struggling to withstand!
"Quick! Quickly attach Chakra to the soles of your feet and firmly grip the ground!"
A Root commander spoke up, his eyes filled with terror.
What kind of Ninjutsu is this? It's so powerful!
But is it enough to simply have the Root members struggle to hold out?
As the suction force of the Chibaku Tensei continued to surge, large trees were uprooted, and patches of land were torn apart, carrying the Root standing on them towards the Chibaku Tensei!
"Help me, Danzo!"
As large swathes of land were absorbed, the Chibaku Tensei, which was originally a black sphere, has now become a sphere of earth, and its suction force is still increasing!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this?!"
Deep within the soil, Danzo were bloodshot as he continuously cursed.
He tried to move downwards with all his might, but he couldn't move at all; he was firmly controlled by the suction force!
As the suction increased, the soil above Danzo was gradually sucked away, revealing Danzo's figure.
"Ah!"
In mid-air, Danzo in despair, his heart filled with resentment.
He hasn't become Hokage yet, he hasn't obtained the Rinnegan, defeated Uchiha Makoto, or destroyed the Uchiha Clan. How can he die!
And then there's Nagato Uzumaki. What makes him possess the Rinnegan? Why is he hunting him down in Konoha?
Firmly held in place by the suction force on the surface of Chibaku Tensei, and watching the vast expanse of soil hurtling towards him from below, Danzo was utterly desperate.
But he was unwilling to die like this!
Danzo turned his head, looked intently at Nagato and the others, and uttered his last words.
"Everything I've done is for Konoha!"
Boom!
A huge rock came crashing down, and the immense force of the impact instantly turned Danzo into a pile of mud, silencing him forever.
Everyone in Konoha could look up and see a giant sphere of earth in the sky above their Konoha!
Looking at the floating sphere of earth, the Konoha Ninja, led by Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, fell silent.
"Is this the power of the Rinnegan? A powerful Dōjutsu like the Uchiha Mangekyō Sharingan!"
Utatane Koharu her new room, was trembling slightly.
He was at odds with Danzo, even coming to Konoha to hunt Danzo, and possessed extremely powerful Dōjutsu...
That's totally an Uchiha!
If Nagato had changed his hair color or done these things, she would have immediately assumed he was an Uchiha! The kind with the Mangekyō Sharingan!
Seeing Danzo's complete downfall, Nagato, standing atop the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, raised his head slightly, and looked down at the crowd below.
"Konoha? It seems it's nothing special after all!"
Hiss!
The Konoha Ninja below exchanged glances, and finally all looked at the Uchiha ninja beside them.
If they remember correctly, this seems to be a move exclusive to the Uchiha, right?
Why are you all looking at me?
Uchiha Tetsuka, feeling the intense stares from everyone, instantly blushed. All he ever did was hold his head a little higher!
Why are you all looking at him now!
"Cough cough cough!"
Nagato coughed a few times, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
Forcibly activating the Chibaku Tensei had a huge negative impact on his body!
The Konoha Ninja, who had been making noise, fell silent and looked up thoughtfully at Nagato.
It seems that using that spell had a significant impact on him as well!
Could they at least keep his Rinnegan?
While some people in the crowd were sizing up Nagato, they were also sizing up their colleagues, or rather, their "competitors," beside them!
When they glanced at each other, their eyes met unintentionally, and they exchanged knowing smiles. Which one of them wasn't an elite ninja, someone in the upper-middle ranks of the ninja class?
What some people can think of, others can naturally think of as well.
At that moment, a faint sound rang out.
"Don't think about things you shouldn't think about!"
Who said that?
People looked in the direction of the sound and saw a pineapple-headed ninja.
This is a ninja from the Nara Clan!
The Nara ninja glanced at them, then slightly raised his head, gesturing for them to look ahead at Kushina, who had red hair.
Looking at Kushina, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, those who had harbored other thoughts all smiled awkwardly and silently lowered their heads, abandoning their ideas.
They are no match for the Jinchūriki.
Having avenged his great enemy, Nagato released the Summoning Technique, picked up Rieko's body, and flew out of Konoha.
There was nothing left in Konoha that would make him linger.
Watching Nagato gradually disappear into the distance, becoming a small black Nagato, the Konoha Ninja stood there awkwardly for a long time, unsure of what to do.
"Cough cough."
"The most urgent task now is to elect a new Hokage and stabilize public morale!"
Mitokado Homura coughed twice to ease the awkwardness before speaking.
Losing the Hokage would negatively impact Konoha's deterrent effect on other countries and its stability at the front.
So, who should we choose?
"Our Uchiha Clan elects Uchiha Makoto as the new Hokage!"
Uchiha Tetsuka's voice rang out.
Under the gaze of everyone, he showed no stage fright, staring directly at Utatane Koharu.
"No, Uchiha Makoto has killed too many people; he's not fit to be Hokage!"
Utatane Koharu, immediately objected.
"Ah?"
Uchiha Tetsuka. "Then we nominate Uchiha Fugaku, Uchiha Sanjie, Uchiha Inabi, Uchiha Hono!"
"That won't work either, they don't have enough battle merits!"
Mitokado Homura shook her head in rejection.
"You!"
Uchiha Tetsuka instantly turned crimson!
Those with enough battle merits complain about having killed too many people; those with not too many killings complain about not being strong enough?
Looking at the red-hot Uchiha Tetsuka, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura chuckled.
Yes! That's exactly what it looks like!
We oppose whatever the Uchiha agree with!
The more the Uchiha oppose it, the more it proves we're right!
A voice carrying a faint smile rang in their ears.
"That makes sense, I think so too, what do you think?"
"Taketori."
