Two S-Rank Scorch Release techniques, one above and one below, one in the sky and one on the ground, formed an inescapable death trap!
Without Space-Time Ninjutsu to teleport away instantly, there was no way to evade them!
"No!!!" Danzo roared in despair and defiance, frantically driving his Wood Release to defend himself. But the hastily formed wooden wall was like paper before the golden flames, turning to ash in an instant!
The golden divine crow and the sea of infernal flames on the ground were about to swallow Danzo whole and vaporize him!
Yet in that instant of certain death, the despair on Danzo's face suddenly twisted into a grotesque grin, mingling venomous hatred with madness!
His right eye, the eye he had kept hidden beneath his bandages, snapped open! The crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun rapidly!
"Izanagi!!!"
Hum!
A strange fluctuation touching the boundary between reality and illusion rippled outward from Danzo!
The next second, the golden flames engulfed him completely! A violent explosion and searing heat reduced the area to scorched earth!
But as the firelight and smoke slowly cleared...
Danzo stood in the middle of that scorched earth, pale-faced but completely unharmed!
Only the Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his right eye had lost all its luster, turning a dull, lifeless white.
At the cost of permanently blinding one Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he had activated the Uchiha Clan's ultimate genjutsu, the reality-rewriting forbidden technique Izanagi, forcibly rewriting the fact that he had been killed by Scorch Release into nothing more than a dream!
"Uchiha... Makoto!!!"
Danzo's sole remaining eye fixed on Uchiha Makoto, filled with deep-rooted hatred and madness that threatened to spill over!
He had thought that mastering Wood Release would let him crush his opponent with ease and establish his authority before Hanzō and the Land of Rain.
