Tsunade vs. Danzo

Beneath the horizon, a surging, murderous aura grew ever stronger, and a layer of icy frost covered the entire world.

Danzo's heart was filled with deep-seated hatred and unwavering determination. He lowered his voice and cursed viciously, "Uchiha Kōki, you will be the prologue to this revenge!"

Although the voice was low, the resentment and malice it contained were so obvious that it sent chills down one's spine.

In Danzo's meticulously woven web of revenge, Koki undoubtedly became his primary target.

This young member of the Uchiha Clan repeatedly thwarted his plans at crucial moments, preventing him from achieving his ambitions.

Now, intelligence indicates that Koki is in the Land of Rain, which is a golden opportunity for Danzo.

Danzo firmly believed that as long as he could kill Koki first, the path to revenge would be much smoother.

His eyes flashed with a fierce light, vowing to make Koki understand how miserable the end would be for those who opposed him.

In his mind, a series of cruel and torturous images flashed by, and he resolved to make this young man pay a heavy price for his actions.

His primary task is to deal with Koki, who is still in the Land of Rain, then turn his attention to the Uchiha Clan, and finally settle scores with his old friend Hiruzen Sarutobi, who has always been an obstacle to his plans—this weak man has always been a stumbling block for him.

In Danzo's mind, Konoha could only truly become strong under his leadership. He believed that his methods and ideas were correct, and only he could make Konoha stand firm in this world full of crises and become a true overlord.

He now needs to reunite all his men; only by gathering sufficient strength can he better implement his revenge plan.

As Danzo and his men continued their journey through the snowstorm, their figures gradually disappeared into the vast expanse of white snow, as if swallowed up by this cold world.

Throughout the journey, Danzo was indulging in pipe dreams, fantasizing about ascending to the pinnacle of power in Konoha after successfully avenging himself.

However, the moment he stepped into the hotel, a strong sense of unease welled up in his heart, like dark clouds looming over the city. He sensed that Shimura Yūto and Shimura Miki's Chakra were swaying in the wind, like reeds swaying precariously.

Before he could think any further, their Chakra, like candles flickering in the wind, quietly extinguished and vanished from the world.

"Who exactly is this person?" Danzo shocked and furious.

Since Konoha, every ninja Danzo his command has become extremely valuable.

Especially Shimura Yūto and Shimura Miki, these two loyal family members, were his capable assistants on his path of revenge.

For Danzo, they were not just his subordinates, but also the key force in achieving his revenge.

Danzo could not accept this sudden change. He had to find out the truth and find out who dared to provoke him.

Although nothing seemed amiss inside the hotel, a tense and oppressive atmosphere permeated the air. Two cold corpses lay scattered about, the scent of death hanging in the air.

Danzo stood beside the corpse, his face as dark as the calm before a storm. His hands Hand Seals, and he uttered in a low voice, "Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"

In an instant, the chilling wind condensed into countless sharp light waves, like icy blades, launching a fierce attack on the hotel walls.

The hotel walls were like fragile paper before Danzo's Wind Release, instantly torn to pieces, the fragments dancing in the gale.

The Wind Release light wave continued its relentless momentum, sweeping deeper into the space. The powerful force forced Tsunade to tumble and leap within the confined area, desperately trying to avoid the fatal blow.

Tsunade's figure shifted and changed within the room like a phantom.

Amidst the wind and snow, Danzo's loose-fitting clothes fluttered in the wind.

He didn't stop, a cold glint flashing in his single eye as he quickly scanned his surroundings, his gaze instantly landing on Tsunade and Shizune hiding on the second floor.

What's Tsunade doing here?

Danzo's gaze suddenly sharpened, a slight ripple of surprise stirring within him, yet his tone remained as composed as ever. "I had thought that because I had not shown my strength for so long, the world had forgotten my authority."

"You were the one who killed these two? As expected of Hiruzen's prized student!" Danzo's words carried a hint of sarcasm.

Tsunade walked alone to the edge of the fence, looking down at Danzo with a gaze as cold and profound as water on a high cliff.

"The deaths of these two people have nothing to do with me!" Her words were firm and loud, without the slightest hesitation.

Tsunade was filled with doubts; she was unaware of the truth behind the cold corpse.

"A few days ago, I received a mysterious letter, so I rushed here. What happened to your right arm? And how can you wield the Wood Release power left by my grandfather?"

As she questioned him, an uncontrollable rage ignited in Tsunade's eyes.

Her fists clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white from the force. In her rage, her power spiraled out of control, and the overflowing Chakra, like Hayate, lifted the hem of her clothes.

Tsunade was filled with suspicion and wariness towards Danzo. She knew his ambitions well, but she hadn't expected Danzo to escape death and even master Wood Release. This made her uneasy and feel like she was walking on thin ice.

Inside the snow-covered inn, the tense atmosphere was as frozen as ice, but Danzo remained calm, showing no remorse for his actions.

"Hashirama Senju is dead. What's wrong with me using his power to protect Konoha? You should be grateful to me; it is I who allowed his remaining power to continue and protect Konoha."

Tsunade hearing such shameless words, Tsunade's anger flared like a volcano about to erupt. She angrily rebuked, "You keep talking about Morihachi, but your actions are utterly shameless!"

She could not tolerate Danzo's hypocritical nature.

"Ha!" Danzo dismissively, a hint of disdain flashing across his lips.

Then he said, "What use are those useless trash besides wasting the village's food? We might as well let them nourish the roots, making them stronger, so I can better protect Konoha."

"Under the Third Hokage Hokage's leadership, Konoha has strayed from the right path. I will correct this course sooner or later and lead the village in the right direction."

Danzo's words contained not a trace of remorse, as if the village had been controlled by treacherous officials, and that he himself was the only righteous person who truly loved Konoha.

He firmly believed that his ideas and methods were correct, and he was willing to use any means necessary to achieve his goals.

When Tsunade and the others heard Danzo's shameless words, their eyes widened in anger, and their mouths were agape in shock. They couldn't believe that Danzo would so brazenly defend his evil deeds.

Shizune stepped forward and cursed, "This is utterly shameless!"
