Danzo Dies

Danzo found himself staring at chaos.

On one side, Hiruzen Sarutobi led his forces against the rampaging Nine-Tails.

Minato Namikaze soon joined the fight.

On the other, Kazan was tearing apart the Uchiha Clan's strongest ocular technique, Susanoo, with his bare hands.

Inside the village, residents scrambled for safety.

But it had happened so suddenly that many still died in the Nine-Tails' rampage.

Konoha had lost its usual peace and calm. Flames lit the sky.

Leaves outside the village were swept up by the shockwaves and drifted past Danzo.

Perhaps knowing no one could save him, he chose to die on his own terms.

Danzo spun around to face Uchiha Hikari, ready for one last stand.

He wanted to do something for Konoha in the final moments of his life.

"Reverse Four Symbols Seal!"

Danzo was ruthless to others, but even more ruthless to himself.

He had carved the Reverse Four Symbols Seal into his body long ago.

The technique could activate only upon his death. It was his last resort for taking an enemy down with him.

"That bastard!"

Uchiha Hikari tensed. Her Susanoo's Scythe slashed down, but she was too late.

The Reverse Four Symbols Seal had already activated.

Blood sprayed from Danzo's body in every direction. Using it as a medium, he formed a Sealing Jutsu capable of sealing away even physical matter.

"You Uchiha are born evil!"

"Come to hell with me!"

Danzo had committed himself completely. He had no other choice.

If he could take one enemy of Konoha with him, his death would mean something.

Uchiha Hikari fled. If she failed to escape in time, she would be sealed away in that world again.

As for Danzo...

He had done everything he could.

In that moment, he did not think of claiming the Hokage
