"Senior Inoichi, is Lord Naoki... under Genjutsu?"
Kakashi and Inoichi Yamanaka noticed Naoki Senju's strange behavior; after all, his submissive demeanor was very much like someone trapped in Genjutsu.
Inoichi Yamanaka dared not be careless and said in a solemn tone:
"I'll go check first; don't make any rash moves."
Something about that sounds a bit odd... Kakashi nodded. Given the strength that Naoki Senju had just displayed, defeating Danzo shouldn't be difficult for him, especially since Wood Release hadn't even been used yet.
Inoichi Yamanaka's spirit detached from Kakashi and headed straight for the expressionless Naoki Senju. If it was Genjutsu, although he would face some danger, breaking the Genjutsu would not be difficult.
But if anything happens to Naoki Senju, Lady Tsunade won't let him and Kakashi off the hook...
Inoichi Yamanaka's spirit plunged into Naoki Senju's body, only to find it completely empty, with no sign of the spirit. Inoichi Yamanaka was expelled after just a few seconds.
really...
" Kakashi, don't worry, Lord Naoki is safe and sound. It's just that Danzo is going to be in trouble again soon."
"Sigh, Senior Inoichi still loves to keep things a secret. Can't you just tell me the answer beforehand?"
Kakashi leaned against the tree with a lazy air, barely suppressing the urge to pull out the Icha Icha Paradise" from his ninja tool pouch. Now that he shared a view with Inoichi Yamanaka, if Inoichi Yamanaka saw any of the scenes, he would never have the face to appear in front of Inoichi Yamanaka again.
"It's no fun if you know beforehand, let's see how it goes."
Inoichi Yamanaka casually offered Kakashi a word of comfort before focusing intently on the Kage Level battle. Although it was somewhat one-sided, the Ninjutsu and coping skills of both sides still greatly benefited Inoichi Yamanaka.
Naoki Senju moved step by step amidst Danzo's surprised gaze, his eyes blank, just like those Root ninjas who had already been subdued. Their thoughts and consciousness had been occupied by the rules of Root, turning them into mindless humanoid weapons.
But Naoki Senju is definitely the most powerful weapon Danzo obtained! As long as he continues to use Kotoamatsukami to strengthen his control, he can completely master the strongest power in the Shinobi World!
" Kotoamatsukami... what a powerful ability! Luckily, Shisui Uchiha was too naive back then, otherwise it would have been quite dangerous. But the more it's like that, the more I want to obtain this power!"
" Naoki Senju, in the name of the Root leader, I order you to remove Kakashi's Sharingan and present it to me."
The somewhat arrogant Danzo, condescendingly issuing orders, completely disregarded Kakashi and showed no concern for the reliability of Kotoamatsukami's effects...
Pfft~
The familiar sensation of flesh being pierced through Danzo with disbelief as he looked down at the tip of a blade emerging from his chest. Then, the blade tip and the sword god spun inside his chest cavity, shredding the pierced lung to pieces.
"How could this be... Weren't you already controlled by Kotoamatsukami?"
Naoki Senju swiftly drew his katana and kicked Danzo away, his voice like that of a demon from the Danzo's ears.
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly! That's just a Wood Clone. How could a thief who has taken over the power of the Uchiha possibly unleash its true power?"
The one who caught Danzo was the Wood Clone 'controlled' by Kotoamatsukami. Then, the Wood Clone's hands and feet transformed into a cross, and the branches that branched out firmly fixed Danzo's limbs to the 'execution rack'.
"Next is the second round. I hope you can last longer, Danzo."
This time, Naoki Senju changed the method of torture, replacing slow slicing with ' Tsukuyomi '. He used Futsunomitama to stab Danzo's body, creating one penetrating wound after another. Although it wasn't as instantaneous as Tsukuyomi's seventy-two-hour Tsukuyomi Space, the torment of pain was no less intense.
Seeing that Naoki Senju had finally started torturing Danzo again, Kakashi breathed a sigh of relief. Although Naoki Senju was very strong, it didn't mean that his Genjutsu abilities were equally outstanding. If something happened to Naoki Senju, Kakashi would have to commit seppuku to atone for his sins without the Lord Hokage having to say it.
Danzo was now enduring torment a hundred times worse than seppuku. He had been able to endure it before because Danzo onto hope and still had the trump card of Kotoamatsukami. But now that he had used Danzo cards, he was no match for Naoki Senju.
This disparity in strength was both despair-inducing and maddening, Danzo undoubtedly descended into madness at this moment.
"Let me go, Naoki Senju! I'm warning you, the entire Konoha is covered with Explosive Tag. If you don't want the Konoha to be completely destroyed, then stop immediately!"
Upon hearing this, Naoki Senju stopped what he was doing, and Danzo showed a look of joy, while simultaneously mobilizing his Chakra, trying to break free completely.
But he failed to notice that Naoki Senju was looking at him as if he were a dead man.
" Danzo, why do you think it was Kakashi who led the team to seal off Root this time, and I only arrived late when the battle truly began?"
Danzo shaken, a possibility that both filled him with despair and seemed the most likely.
"That's right. Taking advantage of the brief moment Kakashi stalled for time, the Explosive Tag that Root had placed in various key locations in Konoha have all been dismantled by the Anbu. In other words, Danzo, you've run out of your last Danzo card."
His last trump card was gone... Danzo was unwilling to accept this fact, but the situation seemed truly hopeless. Although he still had many uses of Izanagi left, what could Izanagi change? He couldn't even escape...
Lord Danzo!
At Danzo's most desperate moment, an inconspicuous Root ninja broke through the encirclement and approached Naoki Senju and Danzo.
Naoki Senju frowned slightly, feeling dissatisfied with the Anbu and the heads of the various clans. They clearly had an overwhelming numerical advantage and were fighting the Root to a standstill, yet their blockade had been broken through?
It seems the assessment for the Anbu will be even more difficult. It doesn't matter if there are fewer people, but there absolutely cannot be any mediocre candidates.
As he thought this, Naoki Senju raised his right hand, and quicksand poured out, preparing to crush the Root ninja into mincemeat.
But the madness in the Root ninja's eyes was unstoppable. He directly detonated the Explosive Tag attached to his body. The huge explosion, mixed with blood and flesh fragments, shaved away a layer of soil within a ten-meter diameter.
As the explosion subsided, Senju Naoki Senju, his body covered in a film of water, was filled with rage. The situation had been too sudden. Danzo had given up resistance at the first moment of the explosion and was torn apart by the violent blast. Then Izanagi was activated, and his true form had already escaped the explosion.
" Danzo, do you really think you have a chance to escape?!"
