Chapter 167: Goodbye, Danzo Shimura
Just as the twice-resurrected Danzo, relying on his rich combat experience and the dynamic vision of his Sharingan, narrowly twisted his body to dodge the direct, bone-chilling Ice Blade thrust from Naruto's true body...
A new anomaly occurred!
The skin on Naruto's left palm suddenly wood-morphed, and a hard wooden stake, as thick as a steel bar and sharp at the tip, instantly shot out without warning, like a venomous dragon emerging from its lair.
"Puchu—!"
The wooden spike accurately pierced Danzo's right flank, which had been exposed while dodging the Ice Blade.
The powerful piercing force sent Danzo's body stumbling back several steps.
However, this was only the beginning.
Wood Release: Cutting Technique!
Naruto inwardly let out a low cry, and the wooden stake embedded in Danzo's body suddenly erupted a second time under his conscious control!
"Chi!"
Countless sharper, finer wooden spikes, like instantly blooming Flowers of Death, violently burst forth from the main stake, exploding wildly from the inside out without any pattern.
They pierced muscles, tore internal organs, ruptured blood vessels, and even stabbed out from other parts of Danzo's body, practically turning him into a blood-soaked "wooden hedgehog."
"Ugh ah—!"
Danzo let out a painful groan. His body convulsed violently due to the internal agony and destruction, and his vitality rapidly drained away once more.
At the same time, Naruto's Shadow Clone, which had been lurking like a phantom on the side, searching for an opportunity, moved.
In the instant Danzo was heavily injured by the Cutting Technique and his attention and physical control experienced a momentary lapse, the Shadow Clone rapidly closed the distance, its right hand covered in a precisely sharp edge like a Chakra Scalpel, shooting out like lightning.
Target: Danzo's right eye, which had just been "refreshed" by Izanagi and was completely intact!
"Puff!"
There was another soft sound.
The Shadow Clone's hand plunged steadily, accurately, and viciously into Danzo's eye socket.
A grab, a pull!
It truly was a Mangekyo Sharingan!
The Shadow Clone quickly placed the eyeball into a Sealing Scroll prepared by another Shadow Clone and completed the Seal.
Feeling the same Ocular Power on the scroll as the previous Mangekyo, Naruto's heart pounded wildly.
Holy crap, that's amazing!
Two Mangekyo Sharingan!
Moreover, the arm Danzo had previously lost was also reverted.
This "rollback" mechanism of Izanagi is simply too much of a bug, isn't it?
Not only does it resurrect and refresh the status, but it can even generate a Mangekyo.
However, the Sharingan that had already been used for Izanagi remained in its original state.
Although both are right eyes, doesn't Kakashi still have Obito's left eye?
But those are matters for later.
Right now, the battle is not over!
Danzo suffered another fatal blow and the agony of losing an eye. His remaining left eye nearly popped out of its socket, filled with hysterical madness and malice.
Being robbed of a precious Mangekyo twice in a row, and having consumed one Sharingan on his right arm, this loss made his heart bleed with pain and drove him completely insane.
"Bastard... you bastard!"
He roared, relying on the effect of Izanagi that hadn't fully ended and his last remaining will, draining Chakra once more as he shrieked:
"I—za—na—gi!"
He intended to rewrite reality again!
He could not die!
He still had Sharingan!
He could still turn the tables!
This time, Naruto did not move to stop him.
He just wanted to see if Danzo could produce a third Mangekyo.
Trading one three-tomoe for one Mangekyo was a huge profit!
The smoke dispersed.
Danzo walked out of the mist.
Danzo walked out of the mist. One more Sharingan on his right arm had closed, and the bandage over his right eye was restored to its original state.
It worked, just as expected. His collar was pulled high, indicating the technique was truly activated!
However, Danzo, who had just been "resurrected" and seemingly "reborn," reacted completely differently this time.
He did not immediately adopt a fighting stance or roar and launch an attack, unlike the previous two times after resurrection.
Instead, his face showed no relief at surviving, nor the fury of having his eye stolen again. There was only the ultimate savagery of utter despair, coupled with a maniacal determination to take his enemy down with him!
His left eye stared intently at Naruto, his gaze like a poisoned ice pick.
Then, under Naruto's slightly surprised gaze, Danzo made an unexpected move.
He suddenly extended his left hand, violently ripped open the front of his robes, and exposed his pale chest.
Four Symbols Sealing Technique!
This was the final and most extreme measure Danzo Shimura had prepared for himself.
Once activated, it generates a massive spherical Sealing Barrier centered on the user, sucking everything within the barrier into the space of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique for complete annihilation.
It is a Technique for Mutual Destruction in the truest sense.
Clearly, having his core power repeatedly stolen, consuming precious Izanagi uses, yet still being unable to truly harm even the hem of his opponent's clothing, made Danzo realize completely that conventional means could no longer defeat this mysterious and powerful enemy before him.
Continuing to use Izanagi in a war of attrition would only lead to a slow death, and he might also continue to have more Sharingan stolen by his opponent.
Rather than being humiliatingly drained of life and completely plundered, he might as well... drag this terrifying enemy down to Hell with him!
At the very least, he could ensure the remaining Sharingan wouldn't be stolen.
"Hehe... Hahahaha!"
Danzo let out a low, maniacal laugh. His sole remaining left eye flickered with destructive light. He glared intently at Naruto, his voice hoarse and triumphant:
"Let us perish together!"
The moment his voice fell, the Sealing Formula of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique on his chest suddenly erupted with blinding black light!
Terrifying Chakra surged frantically from his body like a breached dam.
Black patterns spread and extended rapidly in all directions, like ink dripping into clear water. A massive Dark Barrier was quickly forming, centered on Danzo!
He intended to drag this entire area, along with the enemy before him, into eternal nothingness!
"Goodbye, Danzo Shimura."
Naruto calmly took the other scroll from the Shadow Clone's hand, then used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the area.
A circular void opened up underground.
Naruto instantly returned to the previous hall.
Aburame Torune and Fu Yamanaka were still alive. They were quite lucky, as the corridor was long, and the two of them in the hall were not affected.
Naruto glanced at them but paid them no mind.
His gaze was fixed on the center of the hall: the massive circular void created by the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, which pierced through several floors and had smooth edges.
As he watched, the space in the void's dark center became abnormally distorted once more.
White smoke burst open again.
The smoke slowly dissipated.
A figure stumbled and climbed up from the edge of the smooth rock wall at the center of the void.
It was none other than Danzo Shimura!
