Danzo dead. His last Ninjutsu had no effect.
Sasuke placed the Yata Mirror in front of Danzo. The massive Chakra storm was completely blocked by the Yata Mirror, without the slightest ripple.
Danzo tore off his clothes, intending to use his final, deadly technique Reverse Four Symbols Seal.
Sasuke's Sharingan flickered slightly as he activated Genjutsu. In the instant Danzo, Sasuke used Lightning Release: Lightning Sword to Danzo.
Shinsei examined him carefully and confirmed that he was indeed dead beyond any doubt.
I even checked the Sharingan on Danzo's arm. All the Sharingan were closed, so he couldn't be revived using forbidden techniques anymore. Last time, I was careless and let Kabuto Yakushi escape, causing a lot of trouble for Shinsei. I can't make that mistake again.
Sasuke removed the Sharingan from Danzo's arm one by one. These were parts of his clansmen's remains, so they couldn't be mixed with Danzo's.
"He just died like that?" Naruto asked in disbelief.
"Otherwise what? Do we have to fight for hundreds more rounds?" Shinsei asked rhetorically, shrugging his shoulders.
"I just... I just..." Naruto, the master of Talk no Jutsu, couldn't express his true thoughts at this moment. He could only blame himself for being a lazy and uneducated student.
Shinsei understood what he meant; he felt the same way.
Danzo, as an elder of Konoha, held great power for decades. It is somewhat ironic that he died at the hands of Konoha Ninja.
Danzo his entire life hiding in the shadows, stirring up the Shinobi World with intrigue and power, believing that political maneuvering was everything.
In a world where individual strength reigns supreme, it's only natural that someone who loses their power and can't recognize their place will end up like this.
After Sasuke collected all the Sharingan, Kakashi knelt down and put Danzo's body into his storage scroll.
Although Danzo was a traitor to Konoha, he was once a high-ranking official in Konoha, and his remains contained a great deal of top-secret information.
Shinsei also plans to give Danzo a proper Danzo when he returns, erecting a tombstone and writing down all the sins he committed in his life.
As for his body, it will be cremated after the intelligence department confirms there are no more secrets, to avoid anyone using the Impure World Reincarnation to pull the old man back from the underworld.
" Lord Shinsei," the little Katsuyu on his shoulder uttered in a soft, adorable voice.
"What's wrong, Lady Katsuyu?"
Minato Namikaze asked if it was over inside so that the Sealing Squad Sealing Squad could release the Chakra barrier, as they were running out of Chakra.
"It's over. Let them dispel the Chakra barrier."
Before long, the massive Chakra barrier around them dissipated, and the bright moonlight shone in again.
Sakura rushed over and hugged Sasuke tightly. Sasuke, unusually, didn't push Sakura away, letting Sakura hold him close.
Naruto looked at the two people embracing, his expression strangely unsettling.
Shinsei nuzzled Naruto's shoulder and teased, "What's wrong? Jealous? Go home and hug Karin."
" Karin?" Naruto sounded surprised. "But I only see her as a little sister!"
This time, it was Shinsei's turn to have a strange expression. Naruto's words sounded so familiar, like the innocent tone of some scumbag.
Shinsei decided to ignore Naruto's dense personality; Karin was much better than Sakura, she was beautiful, and she treated Naruto well.
In terms of bloodline, he's a true Uzumaki Clan, a genuine red-haired Uzumaki, much more authentic than Naruto's blond hair. If they have a red-haired child in the future, having the Uzumaki surname would be much more convincing.
Minato arrived with a group of ninjas. Shinsei stepped forward and thanked them, saying, "Thank you all for waking me up so late."
The ninja in the lead quickly waved his hand and said, " Lord Shinsei, you're too kind. Our Sealing Squad rarely gets to participate in these kinds of operations."
"We'd be willing to participate in capturing Danzo even without pay, let alone with the generous reward Lord Shinsei has given us."
As the Hokage's assistant, Shinsei naturally has the authority to issue certain tasks. He usually sets the task rewards to a high level within his authority.
Money makes the world go round, especially when it's not his own money. Shinsei is always willing to be generous with other people's money. This is why these ninjas are always enthusiastic when they receive Shinsei's missions, feeling like they've gotten a great deal.
Seeing these jubilant ninjas, Shinsei recalled the events of his past life in South Korea. Chun Doo-hwan a rebellion, succeeded, and became the leader of South Korea.
During his tenure, he greatly improved the treatment of all the South Korean soldiers who helped him. There was a soldier named Moon who later always had a smile on his face whenever he talked about Chun Doo-hwan, who had been arrested.
He did nothing, yet received the equivalent of 10 months' worth of military pay within two months of enlisting.
Another account claims that Chun Doo-hwan paid the rank-and-file soldiers the equivalent of seven years' salary.
Wen Xiaobing later used this money to pass the bar exam.
In contrast, when Yoon Suk-yeol suddenly declared martial law, the soldiers only made a token attempt to stop them before allowing the members of parliament to attend a meeting and vote.
Correspondingly, after Yoon Suk-yeol came to power, he repeatedly reduced the soldiers' food rations. It is said that the soldiers rarely saw meat in their meals. With such an attitude, naturally no one was willing to risk their lives for him.
Shinsei naturally followed suit and was always very generous to those who did his work.
If things continue like this, perhaps one day a large group of ninjas will storm into his office, take out a white divine robe, and cover Shinsei, who is sleeping, with many ninjas shouting " Lord Hokage!"
Shinsei was startled awake by the sight before him. He tightened his clothes and said with a distressed expression, "You've really put this Hokage in a terrible Hokage!"
" Shinsei, Shinsei!" Minato, seeing that Shinsei didn't react, walked over to him and patted Shinsei on the shoulder.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Shinsei had just woken up from his daydream, still had a smile on his face.
"They asked if you had any other plans. If not, I sent them back to Konoha."
"Ah, that's all. Thank you for your help. I'll contact you again next time I have a mission."
A middle-aged ninja smiled obsequiously, "Yes, Lord Shinsei! Even without pay, I'd be happy to undertake this mission!"
Shinsei waved goodbye to them. He decided to forget about not being paid. A stingy boss would never gain the trust of his subordinates.
Even if a generous leader makes a mistake, everyone will readily forgive him.
If Shinsei, who is destined to become Hokage, isn't kind to those around him, who can believe he'll be kind to everyone?
