Hyuga Akira raised his hand, and a bow of flame appeared in it. Wind release condensed into arrows aimed at Danzo, who was about to flee.
The next instant, he drew the bow and fired.
His hand seemed to become countless hands, rapidly drawing the flaming bowstring as arrow after arrow of wind flew toward Danzo.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Hearing the sounds behind him, Danzo turned to look and was terrified. The flaming arrows behind him formed a wall of fire that rushed toward him.
His hands rapidly formed hand seals. He quickly turned and stopped, but his momentum sent him sliding backward as he slammed a palm onto the ground.
"Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall!"
Rows of timber rapidly rose from the ground, surrounding Danzo.
Boom!!
The wind arrows struck the timber in an unending stream. With a thunderous boom, all the wood shattered.
Danzo had vanished as well.
Just then, a hand suddenly emerged from the shadow beneath Hyuga Akira's feet and grabbed his ankle.
"Wood Release: Violent Spear Tree."
Rapidly growing branches wrapped around Hyuga Akira, absorbing the chakra within him.
His body rapidly shriveled, then turned into flames with a pop, instantly igniting the wood.
Hyuga Akira appeared behind Danzo. With a wet squelch, his hand pierced through Danzo's chest from behind, blood welling out.
"Your wood release is nowhere near Madara Uchiha's."
Danzo turned his head to look at Hyuga Akira. The bandages on his wrist came undone, revealing an arm covered in Sharingan.
One Sharingan suddenly closed, and Danzo vanished.
The Izanagi technique.
Danzo's figure took shape again where he had just stood.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
Danzo drew a deep breath and spat a compressed, high-pressure ball of wind toward Hyuga Akira's back.
Hyuga Akira merely turned sideways, dodging the high-pressure wind sphere,
