Koki's Arrival

The sheathed blade reappeared in the light of day, its edge still bearing traces of blood from the battle, exuding a menacing and ferocious aura.

"How dare you uphold the legacy of the Second Hokage? You have completely betrayed his nurturing of you. Today, I will eliminate you, you traitor, for my second grandfather!" Before her words even echoed in the air, Tsunade swooped down like a raptor, her right leg raised high, slashing down with unstoppable force.

With her flowing Tsunade, Tsunade was so graceful that anyone who didn't know her true appearance would mistake her for a beautiful dance.

However, beauty conceals deadly intent; Tsunade's attacks are imbued with overwhelming power and a burning rage.

Upon witnessing Tsunade's attack, Danzo quickly performed hand seals in an attempt to defend against this fatal blow.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!" A fierce wind blade burst forth from Danzo's mouth, heading straight for Tsunade's attack.

The two forces collided violently, producing a deafening roar that churned the surrounding air, causing tables and chairs to fly and cracks to appear in the walls.

Tsunade was thrown back several steps by the powerful force, but she quickly regained her balance.

Her eyes gleamed with determination and resolve as she launched another fierce attack on Danzo.

"Monster Strength Fist!" Tsunade shouted, gathering immense power in her right fist and striking down at Danzo with unparalleled momentum.

This punch contained overwhelming power, as if it could destroy everything.

Danzo, Danzo swiftly dodged Tsunade's attack, and at the same time launched a counterattack. "Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"

He spat out one wind-attribute bullet after another, which Tsunade nimbly dodged. Her movements were agile and nimble, demonstrating her excellent combat skills.

She kept looking for an opportunity to retaliate, trying to break through Danzo's defenses.

Suddenly, a deafening roar erupted, as if tearing the air apart. Smoke and dust filled the air, and the entire hotel seemed to tremble, as if struck by a violent earthquake, teetering on the verge of collapse.

The ground suddenly cracked open, revealing several bottomless ravines, like hideous scars on the earth, spreading across the ruins.

In this rapidly changing moment, a black figure streaked across the sky like lightning, plunging headlong into the smoke-filled chaos.

This person was none other than Koki, who had received Tsunade's letter!

His figure moved as elusively as a ghost, charging fearlessly into the battlefield with an indomitable courage.

Koki had only one thought in her mind: to kill Danzo.

Although the smoke and dust were thick enough to obscure one's vision, to Koki, who had activated her Sharingan, Danzo like a torch in the dark night, leaving him nowhere to hide.

The moment his gaze locked onto Danzo, he was astonished to see that the bandage on Danzo's right eye had come off, revealing a pair of scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan in his eye socket.

It turns out that Danzo had already secretly seized the Sharingan from the Uchiha Clan sometime before!

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!" Danzo launched an attack without hesitation.

The refined Wind Release light wave was like a long arrow piercing through the air, cutting through the mist and heading straight for the Koki. Its power was enough to cut everything into dust.

Forced to defend himself and unable to get close to Danzo, Koki quickly threw out four Kunai, Kunai drew elegant arcs in the air, giving him a chance to catch his breath.

Immediately, Koki One-Handed Hand Seals and launched another attack on Danzo.

With each step forward, a phantom was created. After four steps, eight phantoms and the main body surged toward Danzo together. Koki's speed was so fast that the phantoms were almost solid, making them indistinguishable.

Danzo's Wind Release: Light Waves were as fast as lightning and sharper than swords, capable of splitting rocks and mountains. However, these light waves struck the eight phantoms without causing the slightest damage, as if they had struck nothingness.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Koki's phantom was already in front of Danzo. Facing the eight figures rushing towards him, Danzo showed no fear whatsoever.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" Danzo shouted, and a huge fireball shot out like a meteor streaking across the night sky, heading straight for Koki's phantom.

Using Fire Style in front of oneself is truly going against the natural order!

Faced with the outrageous act of using Fire Style, Koki retaliated angrily, unleashing an even more powerful fireball. The raging flames roared through the air like a raging beast, sweeping towards Danzo.

Danzo calm and Kunai, imbuing his kunai with sharp wind-style Chakra, and fearlessly faced Koki's scorching attack head-on.

The two experts, brimming with confidence, instantly engaged in a thrilling battle amidst billowing dust.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! -- Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the flashes of swords and the crisp sound of metal clashing were like rapid drumbeats.

Each round of combat unleashed astonishing power, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

After a short while, the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, and the two warriors clashed fiercely again. The powerful shockwaves sent them flying backward, temporarily creating distance between them.

Danzo's mastery of Wind Release was unparalleled; he could create countless variations simply by attaching wind-style Chakra to Kunai.

His attacks were unpredictable, sometimes short and sometimes long, and in a short exchange, Danzo.

On the other hand, Koki didn't gain any advantage either; her Phantom Clone were indistinguishable from the real ones, and her swordsmanship was exceptionally sharp.

During the fierce battle, Koki slashed a shocking wound on Danzo's back, from which blood gushed out.

Tsunade and Koki stood facing each other in the center of the hotel. Danzo his mistake and couldn't help but look back at the path he had come from, a trace of regret rising in his heart.

"Stop looking, your subordinates can't help you anymore!" Tsunade said these words with a firm and powerful voice, like a thunderclap exploding in the air.

Suddenly, several shadowy figures leaped down from around the hotel. Their stealthy movements were as still as orchids in a secluded valley, yet their movements were as powerful as mountains and rivers. They took up positions in the four corners, their hand gestures were swift and uniform, and they slammed their palms heavily onto the ground. In an instant, a powerful force surged out from their palms.

Danzo had only three subordinates. Seizing the last opportunity, they rushed into the hotel like arrows released from a bow. Their figures were as fast as lightning, carrying an air of fearless determination.

The rest of them could only gaze at the soaring, semi-transparent purple barrier, which gleamed with a mysterious light, like Danzo separating them from Danzo, leaving them helpless.

After three of Danzo broke in, they immediately formed a solid defensive line around Danzo. One of them, with a green light surging from his right hand, gently placed it on Danzo's back, and the green light slowly flowed in, healing Danzo's wounds.

On the other side, Koki stepped back a few steps and stood side by side with Shizune beside Tsunade.

"I didn't interfere with your mission, did I?" Tsunade asked calmly.

Koki gave an awkward smile, "Oh, not at all!"

He felt a little uneasy, because who knew that he hadn't done any of the tasks Hiruzen Sarutobi had given him, and had been helping the three little ones the whole time!

While shopping, he received a message from Tsunade, so he told Nagato to go back first and came over himself.

Tsunade glanced at Koki, who was still bleeding, then quickly looked away. A hint of worry flashed in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it.
