"This is nothing..."
"Compared to being able to protect Konoha, this sacrifice is insignificant."
Facing Yu's mockery, Danzo showed no signs of anger, calmly observing the group of ninja guarding him, "For the sake of protecting this peace, all the sacrifices they make are worthwhile. They are the nameless heroes within Konoha's shadows."
"There's a limit to being shameless..."
Hearing Danzo's pompous words, Yu couldn't help but scoff, "Since they're supposedly protecting Konoha and maintaining peace, why don't you just die? Why aren't you willing to be one of these nameless heroes?"
"Say what you want, I won't engage in meaningless arguments with you..."
"It's precisely because I am the leader of Root that I am the one capable of changing Konoha and the ninja world. That's why their sacrifices hold value..."
Danzo remained expressionless, continuing to hide behind a group of ninjas, speaking solemnly to Yu.
In front of him, the group of ninja seemed like numb machines and tools. As long as he gave the order, even if he commanded them to commit suicide immediately, they would not hesitate at all.
"I admit, although I've already given you a high enough evaluation, I still underestimated your strength."
As Danzo spoke, his deep gaze focused intensely on Yu, not hiding the killing intent in his eyes.
"Your Taijutsu surpasses the human body, flawless Ninjutsu, top-tier Medical Ninjutsu, and this outrageously powerful Puppetry..."
"I have to say, you have grown into a formidable presence that cannot be controlled by any faction."
At this point, Danzo paused for a moment, seeming to make a difficult decision.
"Since I can't control you, and to prevent you from becoming an obstacle to my control of Konoha, it seems I can only bury you here!"
"Burial? me? I really don't know where you get your confidence from..."
Hearing Danzo say he wanted to bury him here, Yu couldn't help but laugh. "With these scraps? Or with you hiding behind these scraps?"
Up to this point, Danzo had killed so many of his own ninja, yet he remained unscathed. So the only thing left on Danzo that could pose a threat to him was that suicidal Sealing Jutsu — the Reverse Four Symbols Seal...
Wait a minute... Reverse Four Symbols Seal?
With this thought, Yu noticed the movements of dozens of Root ninja in front of him, and his expression finally changed.
Because he saw dozens of Root ninja in front of him starting to gradually take off their clothes, revealing the densely engraved mysterious black Cursed Seals on their bodies.
"Reverse Four Symbols Seal?!"
Yu's gaze sharpened. He hadn't expected Danzo to have hidden such a killer move to deal with him. If all these ninjas were to initiate the Reverse Four Symbols Seal suicide simultaneously, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"I didn't expect you to know this jutsu..."
Danzo saw that Yu actually recognized this Sealing Jutsu, a hint of surprise crossing his face, but he quickly calmed down. "But it's all over now. To eliminate you as a threat, I've been planning and arranging their training for a long time..."
"With so many people initiating the Reverse Four Symbols Seal together, even if it's the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara resurrected, they won't escape death!!"
Indeed, as Danzo said, ever since he sensed the threat Yu posed, he had arranged countless drills for his subordinates, imprinting the Reverse Four Symbols Seal Cursed Seal on all of them, allowing them to use a suicidal method to take their opponents down with them.
"Damn old man..."
Looking at the dozens of Root ninja in front of him, Yu's expression finally became serious.
He hadn't expected Danzo, this old man, to be so ruthless, willing to sacrifice so many ninjas lives just to take down his opponent with him.
"Go! Kill him!!"
Taking a few steps back, Danzo issued a command to the dozens of ninjas under his command in a deep voice.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Hearing Danzo's command, the dozens of shirtless ninja immediately dispersed using the Body Flicker Jutsu, rushing towards Yu like moths to a flame. Their aim was to get close to Yu and activate the Reverse Four Symbols Seal to deliver a decisive blow.
"Surpassing Whirlwind Whip!!"
Seeing dozens of ninja quickly closing in around him, Yu manipulated his Devil Puppet to retreat rapidly, simultaneously unleashing an incredibly long and black whip from his hand!
The immensely powerful Surpassing Whirlwind Whip directly pierced through one of the ninja. Then, in mid-air, it swiftly and flexibly moved like a black python. Yu aimed to create distance and take out these suicidal ninja from afar, ensuring they couldn't get close.
"Magnet Release: Iron Sand Gathering Assault!!"
"Continuous Pressure Cannons!!"
Similarly controlled by Yu, Tyrant and Michael were not idle either. Countless poisonous black Iron Sand fiercely collided in mid-air, bursting into dense black spikes, instantly killing a large group of ninja along the way.
Numerous balloon-like bear paw shockwaves continued to fly out, erupting into violent explosions, sending the group of rushing ninja tumbling. However, there were still many who seized the opportunity to desperately close in on Yu.
This is bad...
The Surpassing Whirlwind Whip in Yu's hand continuously sliced and shredded all the ninja charging towards him. If they were fighting in a spacious area, Yu had a hundred ways to create distance and kite these ninja to their deaths.
But as Yu took another step back, he realized he had backed himself against the wall of the Root underground hall. There was no space behind the wall, and he had reached the end of the line.
"No way out, huh? Heh..."
"Disappear completely from this world along with these nameless Root ninja from the underground!"
Sensing that Yu had no way to retreat, a burst of fervent laughter finally erupted from Danzo's face. As long as he removed Yu, this thorn in his side, his plan to control Konoha could potentially succeed.
"Reverse Four Symbols Seal!!"
Numerous companions around them died halfway through, falling to Yu and his Devil Puppets. In the blink of an eye, the remaining three Root ninja cornered Yu against the wall, finally seizing the opportunity to deliver a decisive blow.
After spreading out and entering attack range from three different angles, the three suicidal Root ninja directly activated the Reverse Four Symbols Seal inscribed on their bodies. This terrifying Sealing Jutsu could seal all objects within several hundred meters radius into their bodies after activation.
Black Four Symbols Cursed Seals appeared in the surrounding air, and the three ninja began to spew out pools of ink-black liquid from head to toe. Then, three immensely huge black orbs erupted, engulfing everything around them.
"Is it a success...?"
As the black light gradually dissipated, everyone saw three spherical craters in the underground hall of the Root base, with all objects within sealed away completely.
Yu, the Puppetry, the ground, the walls—all disappeared without a trace. It seemed as if they had completely vanished from this world, sealed within the bodies of the three Root ninja.
