In the gloomy forest, a bedraggled Danzo fled desperately, cursing nonstop as he ran.
"Damn it! Damn that Uchiha Gengetsu!"
Originally, Danzo had thought that with his stolen Wood Release and Sharingan, along with the Uchiha Clan's ultimate secret technique, Izanagi, he could easily dispose of Gengetsu.
But what Danzo had never expected was that Gengetsu's ocular technique, Heavenly Standing Long, could foresee the future.

"Stop the target!"
"Cover Lord Danzo's retreat!"
Hearing Danzo's orders, the Root members charged at Gengetsu without the slightest hesitation.
But could these Root members really stop Gengetsu?
Clearly not.
