A resolute glint flashed in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he threw a smoke grenade in the direction of the Rikuto.

He was about to turn and run away.

"Hiss--"

However, at that moment...

The sharp roots of the tree vines pierced the air.

It attacked from the front without warning.

Danzo guard, Danzo had no time to dodge.

It pierced right through his body.

In front of him.

If not Rikuto, then who is he?

"Whoosh!" Danzo reappeared a few meters away.

Without looking back, he ran wildly into the distance.

"What?"

Sudden.

Danzo felt a chill run down his spine.

Without any hesitation, he suddenly jumped up.

Sure enough, in an instant, a large number of wooden vines burst forth from beneath their feet.

It lunged straight at him.

Danzo dodged the vines in a disheveled manner.

But a figure appeared silently behind him.

"Ah..."

A scream.

A figure exactly like Rikuto appeared there.

His right arm had somehow transformed into a terrifying vine, mercilessly piercing through Danzo's chest. "Four..."

"Brush..."

All of a sudden.

Danzo, resurrected once more, had a sinister look in his eyes. "Wood Clone?"

But at that moment...

It hadn't even had a chance to rush off into the distance.

His right arm suddenly erupted in a violent commotion.

"Ahhhh..."

Danzo, his face contorted in pain, cried out.

Because of using Izanagi too many times and also using Wood Release Ninjutsu, the Yin Release and Yang Release Chakra energies in his right arm lost their balance.

It was devoured by the Hashirama Cells.

"Damn it!!!"

Danzo's gaze hardened.

With his left hand, he ruthlessly severed his right arm.

He rushed frantically into the distance. "My grand dream of unifying the Shinobi World and pacifying this chaotic era has not yet been realized; I cannot die here."

But at this moment—

I felt a sharp pain in my right eye.

A piercing scream erupted, "Ahhhhh..."

Immediately afterwards.

His right arm.

Then came another wave of intense pain.

He suddenly felt the scene before him change.

Two blood-stained vines swayed.

A grotesque arm covered in Sharingan.

The other one had a bloody eyeball stuck through it.

Rikuto, hands in his pockets, smiled and said, "You've really gone to a lot of trouble, Danzo... bringing me Shisui's eyes from all this way!"

"How is that possible? Could it be...?"

Danzo, his Danzo in pain, was drenched in cold sweat...

Looking at the Rikuto in front of him, and the arm that was being gripped by vines.

He surveyed the surrounding ruins.

There was absolutely no trace of his previous use of the Tree Root Burial Explosion to perish together with the Rikuto.

Even the position he stood in was exactly the same as the position he stood in after his initial failure to use Kotoamatsukami on the Rikuto and his Izanagi.

His only remaining eye was bloodshot, and he stared intently at the Rikuto in front of him.

His face was more ashen than ever before. "Damn it, is it Genjutsu?"

"You got it right, but there's no reward!"

Rikuto said with a smile.

Tsukuyomi!

He doesn't seem as good as Kotoamatsukami.

Strictly speaking, it is in no way inferior; it just serves a different purpose.

After all, the entire Tsukuyomi World, including time, space, mass, and other structures, is controlled by him, the user of the spell.

This means that within the Tsukuyomi World, he is God, the creator who rules over everything.

After failing to use Kotoamatsukami, I used Izanagi to avoid the disadvantage of having my eyes stolen.

Upon seeing that he possessed the Mangekyō Sharingan, Danzo was shocked and immediately fell into Danzo's Genjutsu the moment they locked eyes.

He was even deceived by the illusion in the Tsukuyomi World, where he was backfired 2.4 by the Hashirama Cells in his right arm, and believed that he had really lost his right arm and could no longer maintain the Izanagi technique.

The battle in the Tsukuyomi World is said to have happened a long time ago.

But in reality, only a moment has passed in the outside world.

From the very beginning, Danzo remained there without moving.

What happened?

Watching this scene from afar.

Tsunade had been keeping a close eye on the battlefield.

When Danzo was suddenly attacked by Rikuo's Rikuto, he not only did not resist, but his right eye was easily taken away and his entire right arm was cruelly torn off. Moreover, he did not use Izanagi to turn the tide at all.

She was utterly shocked and gasped, "Could it be... Genjutsu?"

"Is this the Tsukuyomi that Rikuto mentioned? Even Danzo, with his Mangekyō Sharingan Danzo, couldn't see through it..."

"Is that Uchiha Itachi's Tsukuyomi?"

Amidst the utter chaos of ruins.

Danzo, Danzo cold sweat and blood, nearly lost his balance.

He struggled to maintain his slightly unsteady stance, staring at Rikuto with resentment and disbelief. "Impossible! I also possess the Mangekyō Sharingan; there's no way I couldn't see through Tsukuyomi..."

No matter what.

He possesses Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan.

Even if it's impossible to break Tsukuyomi, which is a Mangekyou Sharingan eye technique.

They shouldn't have been unaware that they were under the Tsukuyomi and trapped in an illusion.

Is the gap really that big?

No, he didn't believe it.

"If it were Shisui Uchiha himself, he might actually be able to see through the flaws in Tsukuyomi!"

Rikuto, his disdain undisguised sarcasm, said, "But you, who transplanted the eyes of the Uchiha Clan and barely managed to control that powerful eye power with the help of the Hashirama Cells, are far from adequate!"

As he spoke.

Under Danzo's resentful and angry gaze.

Shisui's eyeball, pierced by vines, shrank at a visible rate.

Its pupil power was devoured, and it turned to ashes.

"Hateful!"

He clenched his remaining left fist tightly, his eyes bloodshot. "Chiya Rikuto, you bastard... do you know how precious that eye is?"

These were his precious eyes, which he had painstakingly acquired with great difficulty.

It is his greatest asset in becoming Hokage and unifying the Shinobi World.

It was destroyed just like that.

"It's just an eye that's dispensable, so what if it's destroyed!"

Rikuto smiled.

He would never tell Danzo that he had already obtained Kotoamatsukami, the most powerful Genjutsu.

Moreover, it possesses perfect Yang Release power.

It only takes two or three months.

The eye power consumed by Kotoamatsukami can be fully restored.

"Damn it..."

Danzo's gaze hardened.

His face was resolute as he charged towards Rikuto: "You treacherous brat, your existence is a huge threat to Konoha. Even if I die, I will..."

He had given up hope.

Knowing that no matter what, the other party would never let them go.

Naturally, he wouldn't be so naive as to beg for mercy.

Moreover, all of the other party's relatives have passed away.

It's even less likely that they would use the dead to threaten the Chiya Rikuto.

Even if Shimura Danzō were to die...

They'd drag the other person down with them.

"You want to die with me?"

Rikuto's expression remained unchanged as he calmly asked, "What makes you think... you've escaped Tsukuyomi and aren't still trapped in my Genjutsu?"

As he spoke.

Under Danzo's shocked gaze.
