Arrived

Swoosh swoosh swoosh—

Several sharp gusts of wind flew out from the forest, instantly killing several Cloud Ninja who couldn't dodge in time.

Danzo leaped out of the forest, and in a few jumps, he had killed an unknown number of Cloud Ninja.

"It's Lord Danzo!"

"Lord Danzo is back!"

Danzo's figure was immediately noticed by everyone from Konoha, and they cheered.

And the somewhat stiff morale finally began to rise gradually.

Mito Hiroichi looked at Danzo with a complicated expression, relieved, but also somewhat unwilling.

Danzo's figure galloped on the battlefield, and most of the ninjas wielding ordinary ninja tools couldn't even harm him. His body was as hard as brass now.

"Danzo?"

Darui stopped Samui, who was about to rush out. He stared at the young figure with wide eyes. This was clearly the Konoha Jonin who had been chased out by Yugito just now.

What's going on?

"No need to look for Yugito, gather our people as soon as possible. If I can't capture Danzo, you retreat." Darui quickly instructed Samui.

Without even thinking, Darui jumped up, suppressing the bad feeling in his heart, and rushed towards Danzo.

Although most people had noticed Danzo's appearance on the battlefield, not many were by his side.

Right now, Danzo was surrounded by their Cloud Ninja. Regardless of Yugito's whereabouts, capturing Danzo was the priority.

Because of the Hidden Mist's problem, their numbers were not advantageous. If they hadn't brought Yugito, Darui would have wanted to give up on this support.

Jinchuriki were important on the battlefield, but he never expected that Yugito, who had the strength of a Jonin, would be so inexperienced, easily lured out of the battle.

His eyes, filled with killing intent, stared straight at Danzo. The crackling electricity constantly flashing on Darui's body showed his determination.

Facing the approaching Darui, Danzo was expressionless.

People were constantly rushing towards him from all around. Unfortunately, A Kai wasn't here, otherwise, this Darui would probably have been intercepted by him already.

But having activated Brass Body, Danzo wasn't afraid of this Darui.

He swung his long sword fiercely, and the Wind Style Chakra surging within his body materialized on the long sword, emitting a sharp hum.

Ding—

The two swords collided, and Danzo's Wind Style Chakra firmly suppressed the arcs of electricity on Darui's long sword.

The lethality and electric shock effect brought by the Lightning Style Chakra were not well displayed due to Danzo's suppression.

"Extreme Wind Style transformation!"

Darui's pupils shrank. He didn't expect Danzo to have such a deep understanding of Wind Style.

He knew that Danzo's Chakra nature was Wind, and Wind Style countered Lightning Style, but since Darui dared to attack Danzo, he naturally had his confidence.

With the use of a secret technique, Darui could temporarily increase his own attribute abilities.

Chakra attributes are mutually reinforcing and countering. Even though Water counters Fire, as long as one's mastery of Fire Style is exquisite enough, it can conversely evaporate Water.

But he didn't expect Danzo to have mastered Wind Style to such an extreme degree.

This was almost impossible.

A ninja's life is limited. Given the limited time, most ninjas would choose to develop multiple attributes. Sarutobi Hiruzen, for example, was proficient in five types of ninjutsu.

"Your reaction is quite fast, knowing that the situation is against you, you want to capture me to threaten the entire team." Danzo looked at him calmly, intentionally or unintentionally waving his hand.

This strike made his palm numb.

The Yotsuki clan's people really have a lot of strength. Even though he had undergone two Strength Amplifications, his strength was still a bit weaker than Darui's without triggering a Critical Hit.

"Enough nonsense, where's Yugito?" Darui glared and said, his hands moving non-stop, continuing to slash at Danzo.

One strike after another, Danzo silently blocked Darui's attacks with his sword.

Without Swift Step, Danzo's speed was only on par with Darui's, but he wasn't in a hurry. While blocking Darui's attacks, he leisurely said, "The Two-Tails Jinchuriki, your Cloud Village is quite willing to part with her, aren't you afraid of losing such an important weapon?"

In a situation where victory was assured, he only needed to withstand the opponent's attacks and wait for the surrounding Konoha ninjas to provide support.

"Old bastard, you better hand over Yugito, or I'll make sure you die here today!" Darui's eyes were spitting fire as he said fiercely.

Who doesn't know how to make threats?

Danzo muttered in his heart, and said to him in an unpleasant tone, "Young people should know how to see themselves clearly. You know your own level, so don't say such exaggerated words to encourage yourself."

These words, coupled with Danzo's smile that wasn't quite a smile, made Darui feel extremely displeased.

The anger in his heart surged upwards.

There was still a long time before the plot, and Darui currently only had the strength and qualifications to command a team, but he didn't have enough mature composure.

He was different from the Darui in the original work, who was lazy but calm in handling affairs.

The current Darui was at the height of his youth, and he was like a firecracker after being provoked by Danzo.

"Die!"

With a loud roar, the blue electric arcs around Darui's body crackled and turned black, and the muscles in his upper body bulged, directly bursting his clothes.

The bronze skin was somewhat dazzling under the sunlight.

This... is he stripping because he can't win?

Danzo smacked his lips. He didn't expect that the things that often happened to the protagonist in anime would appear before his eyes. Unfortunately, Darui wasn't the protagonist, and he, Danzo, wasn't the villain.

Without thinking, taking advantage of the fact that this guy seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation, Danzo directly swung his sword, letting him know the dangers of society.

But he didn't expect that the strike would directly penetrate Darui's body.

A shadow?!

Danzo's pupils contracted, and a burst of stinging pain came from his arm. He suddenly flipped over to dodge.

He saw Darui retracting his hand with a cold smile in the place where he had originally stood.

His palms were upright and parallel, and his four fingers shone with a cold light like weapons, and scarlet blood dripped from his fingertips.

Covered in black lightning, with every strand of hair standing on end, if it weren't for the black light flashing on his body, Danzo would probably think that the Yotsuki clan actually had Saiyan blood.

Danzo frowned, looking at the four bloody marks on his arm.

If he hadn't dodged quickly, that attack just now would have crippled his arm.

"I didn't expect you to inherit the Third Raikage's Black Lightning, and even learned his Four Finger Spear Hand." Danzo sincerely praised, and tried to stall for time.

Darui's speed after his power-up had already begun to surpass him.

"If you hand over Yugito now, I might consider letting you go." Darui said with a sneer.

Danzo thought for a while, didn't answer his question, and instead said, "Actually, I still admire your Third Raikage quite a bit, for holding off ten thousand Stone Village ninjas with his own strength."

"Every battle record of the Third Raikage is the glory of our Cloud Ninja." Darui said without thinking.

However, after he finished speaking, several swift figures attacked him from all directions.

"You're stalling for time?"
