"This... What is this?!"
Looking down at the lightning blade that suddenly emerged from his chest, slicing through his entire body, Danzo instinctively began to activate the Sharingan embedded in his arm.
"Hmph, Izanagi again..."
"It seems that exterminating the Uchiha Clan has given you quite a few Sharingan."
A faintly mocking voice began to spread through this dark underground world. A pale, fragmented-haired ninja dressed in black with amber-colored eyes slowly emerged from behind Danzo's seat.
"Yaku-Shi-Yu..."
With great difficulty, Danzo turned his head to look at the ninja gradually coming from behind him. At the brink of activating Izanagi, Danzo spat out the name of the opponent with hatred. Although Yu's appearance had changed significantly over the years, Danzo would never forget his face, even if it turned to dust.
"So you recognized me so quickly?"
The Lightning Release: Chidori that was thrown from his hand dissipated into a flash of lightning. Yu's face carried a hint of mockery. "It seems you must think about me often…"
"But speaking of which…"
"Konoha outside is being attacked, and yet you choose to hide here and refuse to go out. Is that really okay?"
Watching as Danzo's body gradually disappeared and then reappeared again, Yu's mocking expression grew even more intense. "Don't tell me this is your so-called way of protecting Konoha?"
"Hmph, how would someone who has left Konoha understand…"
"Allowing the dry leaves to fall and then grow new ones might be a way to protect the great tree that is Konoha, don't you think?"
Facing Yu's ridicule, the reappeared Danzo stared intently with his left eye at Yu. He could never forget how much torment and humiliation this person had brought him.
After more than six years, not only Yu's appearance had changed, but also Danzo's. His once black hair had turned completely white, and his entire body was covered with the hideous scars left by Yu's torment.
Even the arms that were originally severed have been completely replaced with pale arms infused with Senju Hashirama's Wood Release cells. While gaining immense vitality, he also has to constantly endure the pain caused by the Wood Release cells eroding his body.
Moreover, to counteract the massive physical energy brought by the large number of Wood Release cells in his body, he must implant more Sharingan to balance it with powerful mental energy.
"I've set up guards everywhere, yet this guy can ignore their surveillance and appear directly… Damn Space-Time Ninjutsu…"
With a grim expression, Danzo looked at the Sharingan on his arm, which was gradually closing. When he saw his surrounding ninjas quickly encircling the area, Danzo finally began to ease his tension.
"Greed and fear of death, all the power struggles can be elevated to the height of protecting Konoha by you."
Looking at Danzo before him, Yu's face showed scorn. He really didn't know if this guy had developed a thick enough skin to an extreme degree or if he had completely brainwashed himself, genuinely believing that everything he did was for Konoha.
"Put away your disgusting clichés…"
"If I'm not mistaken, you must have had a part in Orochimaru's attack on Konoha this time, right?"
Saying this in a deep voice, Yu glanced disdainfully around. He saw that the entire dark underground world was surrounded by countless trained, mask-wearing ninjas, closing in on him like a tide.
Although Orochimaru betrayed Konoha, it shouldn't be that he irrationally decided to assassinate the Third Hokage and destroy Konoha without reason. The only possible answer Yu could think of was that Danzo also played a part in stirring things up.
Moreover…
Looking at the mask-wearing ninjas continuously surrounding him, Yu realized that after Danzo regained power in Konoha, he had once again strengthened the quality and quantity of his own ninjas.
"Yakushi Yu…"
"You've finally returned to Konoha. Do you know how long I've been waiting for this moment?"
Hearing Yu's mockery, Danzo chose not to answer. Instead, his already terrifying face twisted further, and he mumbled in a pathological manner, as if in a trance.
"So you specifically prepared this bunch of useless trash to welcome me?"
Glancing around at the ninjas encircling him, Yu's disdainful smile became more pronounced.
"Heh… How would you know without giving it a try?"
Making a subtle hand gesture to his surrounding ninjas, Danzo gave a deep, cold laugh. "Proceed according to the original plan…"
"Hm? It seems you've made quite a few plans and arrangements over the years just to deal with me…"
Facing the ninjas around him, who moved swiftly and clearly had undergone years of special training, Yu's expression remained unchanged, but the gaze in his amber eyes grew even more profound and sharp.
"If you've spent a full seven years planning to kill someone…"
"I'm sure you've calculated all possible changes and mistakes, just like I have…"
As Danzo slowly unwrapped the bandages from his pale hands, his gaze fixed on Yu, filled with a hatred so deep that it seemed nothing could ever wash it away.
After unsealing the bandages, it was revealed Danzo's pale Wood Release arms, including the one Sharingan that had been closed after using Izanagi, had a total of twenty Uchiha Clan Sharingan implanted!
What particularly caught Yu's attention was that Danzo also removed the bandages from his right eye, revealing a crimson Sharingan. Sensing the familiar chakra with hisbservation Haki, Yu recognized this as Uchiha Shisui's eye.
"Shisui's eye, huh…"
Looking at the Sharingan revealed in Danzo's left eye and recalling past scenes, Yu couldn't help but sigh. It seemed that Shisui, the fool who was loyally devoted to Konoha, had ultimately fallen into Danzo's trap and lost one of his Mangekyo Sharingan.
This is the power brought about by the Ninja system that establishes the order of this world. Even the powerful Konoha's White Fang and the formidable Body Flicker Shisui, in the end, were bound by the limitations of this Ninja system.
But Yu is different from them. As a traveler from another world, Yu started with a broader and higher perspective. Once he acquires the power to disdain the Ninja system, he will completely dismantle the world's order, making everything operate according to his own will.
"Storm Release: Chidori Senbon!!"
Amidst the swirling thoughts in his mind, Yu's actions were not delayed in the slightest. Facing the ninjas surrounding him, Yu lightly waved his sleeve, and instantly, countless dazzling Senbon formed from lightning lasers illuminated the entire dark underground space.
Ssszzz!!
As all the ninjas present were momentarily blinded by the torrential storm of lightning needles, a sharp flash of lightning cut through the air. Yu, using Lightning Body Flicker, had instantly appeared behind Danzo!
Such speed…
Now that Yu had reached the level of a Super Kage, his power was clearly far beyond before. As Danzo's Sharingan in his left eye widened in shock, he realized Yu had already arrived at his back.
Five-Colored Threads!!
Without giving Danzo a chance to react, five black threads, infused with Armament Haki, tore through the air. Yu's fierce claw strike hit Danzo at point-blank range, slicing him into pieces in an instant, with blood splattering into the air.
