" Evening Elephant!"
A tremendous sound came from the underground cave. Immediately afterwards, a massive explosion blew away the entire hillside containing the cave.
The Four Violet Flames Formation is Chakra barrier that completely envelops the area above, below, left, and right. Danzo must have discovered that the underground passage was blocked, which is why they returned to the surface.
Someone clasped their hands together, and a huge wall of water rose from the ground, rotating and blocking all the falling rubble.
The bright moonlight illuminated the four people who suddenly appeared ahead: Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Shisui Uchiha, Might Duy.
Is that Kakashi?
Not far away, Might Duy, dressed in a green bodysuit, immediately noticed the striking white hair and mask on the young man opposite him. He naturally recognized his son's good friend, but after so many years, he was somewhat unsure.
"Uncle Dai, I didn't expect you to recognize me. It's been so long."
"Hahaha, your appearance is so unique."
Kakashi was a little unsure how to answer. In terms of unique designs, Might Guy and Might Duy were no less impressive.
" Kakashi, I can't control myself. You guys need to be careful from now on, I might open the Gate of Death, but don't worry..."
Might Duy stopped speaking before he could finish, presumably because Danzo had placed a restriction on him.
However, Shinsei roughly guessed what Might Duy meant from what he didn't finish saying.
Danzo summoned Might Duy not just hoping he would use the ordinary Eight Gates Released Formation, but because he valued the power of the Eighth Gate Eight Gates Released Formation, the Gate of Death.
However, Danzo overlooked one thing: if it were the living Might Duy, then having opened the Gate of Death, he would naturally be unstoppable. Unfortunately, his body was in the state of Impure World Reincarnation.
As one of the few ninjas who understood the Eight Gates Released Formation Eight Gates Released Formation, Shinsei comprehended the principles behind its operation.
This is a Taijutsu that trains physical strength in ordinary times and unleashes the full power of the body beyond its limits in critical moments. This Taijutsu is extremely dependent on the practitioner's physical qualities.
The body reborn through the Impure World Reincarnation is quite special; it does not possess the physical strength of a living person.
I just saw what Might Duy the Seventh Gate, which confirms Shinsei's guess.
The Impure World Reincarnation body can indeed open the Eighth Gate, but it's not what you'd imagine. Even opening the Eighth Gate, the Gate of Death, results in a much weaker boost to Taijutsu power compared to when a living person performs it.
If Shinsei's guess is correct, even if the Gate of Death is opened, it won't produce blood vapor like Might Guy in the original story, because Impure World Reincarnation ninjas don't have blood at all.
However, even this scaled-down version of the Eight Gates Released Formation is not something just anyone can easily take on. If it weren't for the fact that it was Shadow Clone, Shinsei wouldn't have been able to withstand the Evening Elephant head-on.
Kakashi looked at the Third Hokage opposite him and sighed, " Lord Third, I'm sorry, but we're about to have to make our move against you."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked ashamed. " Kakashi, don't hold back. You must defeat me and prevent me from making any more mistakes."
"Third Hokage!" Naruto shouted at the Third Hokage, "You have to fight back! Don't let that Danzo control you!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi a wry smile. If he could resist, why would he have waited until now, allowing these juniors to make a fool of themselves?
Sasuke stared coldly at the young man opposite him with Sharingan his eyes, his outward appearance revealing nothing of his inner thoughts. However, his tightly clenched fists betrayed his inner rage.
Shinsei was also observing Shisui Uchiha across from him. He suddenly realized that the Uchiha Clan was really suited to be villains.
First came Madara Uchiha, then Uchiha Itachi, and if Sasuke Uchiha hadn't transmigrated, he'd be a villain right now.
Even Shisui Uchiha, the least likely Uchiha Clan to be a villain, has now been forced to become one.
Sasuke was unaware of Shinsei's inner thoughts. He addressed Shisui Uchiha opposite him, saying, "I will rescue you. The Uchiha will not tolerate such humiliation!"
"Is that Sasuke? You've grown up. Serving Danzo is nothing to be ashamed of. Only Danzo can make Konoha truly strong."
With a "pfft," Shinsei couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hey Danzo, is this how you usually train your subordinates? You're pretty narcissistic, aren't you?"
Shisui Uchiha's mind was altered by Danzo using Kotoamatsukami, so what Shisui said was naturally what Danzo wanted to say. Only Danzo could be so narcissistic.
Danzo remained silent, his face grim, despite Shinsei's taunts. Although his side currently held the advantage in terms of ninja strength, given that the opposing team only had Kakashi and three brats.
But as long as that kid Shinsei is around, it's too early to talk about victory or defeat. If we win this battle, then we'll naturally have the chance to mock Shinsei back.
Kakashi and Shinsei exchanged a glance and quickly discussed their ideas. Kakashi lifted his Forehead Protector, revealing a bright red Sharingan.
" Naruto, that young man's name is Shisui Uchiha. He's in your hands now."
"No problem! Kakashi-sensei! Leave him to me, I'll definitely beat him to a pulp!"
Sasuke, what's your choice?
I choose Danzo!
Sasuke Uchiha unwavering resolve. He had long known about Danzo's role in the Uchiha massacre, and now that he finally had the chance to avenge his enemy, he absolutely could not let it slip by.
"Alright, I'll take care of the Lord Third. Shinsei, you're in charge of Might Duy."
As Might Guy's friend, Kakashi naturally knew the power of Might Duy's full power and naturally arranged for the strongest person on his side to deal with it.
Furthermore, Shinsei can also use the Flying Thunder God, and only in this way can he avoid being kicked to death by Might Duy who has opened the Gate of Death.
Danzo slowly and deliberately removed the bandages from his body and said calmly:
"Very well, now that you've brought the Nine-Tails out, then I'll take over its command from now on. It will surely become the strongest weapon in my hands."
Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, " Danzo, your thinking is too extreme."
" Hiruzen, you were too weak. You should have handed over the Hokage position to me long ago, otherwise Konoha wouldn't be in this state now."
" Danzo, your kind of thinking makes me glad I didn't let you become Hokage."
"Hmph, Hiruzen, I'll take the Hokage position myself."
