"Thank you, Major..."
Sincerely thanking Black Rock Shooter, Yuki bowed slightly and fist-bumped his palm.
Taking Danzo and his entire underground base into the dream world consumed a lot of chakra. Fortunately, Black Rock Shooter didn't intervene, allowing Yuki to remain in this world. Even her crown turned, aiding Yuki's chakra so it wouldn't deplete too quickly, using the Law of Dream as support.
Activating the Breach Dojutsu was exhausting, and sustaining it even more so. If Yuki hadn't increased his chakra, he might barely activate it, let alone maintain it for an extended time as he was doing now.
Its side effects weren't trivial either. The Demon King nearly went blind using it in a battle. Fortunately, Yuki didn't have to worry about that anymore. The Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan wouldn't lose its light, and it had no side effects.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
At the same time, Yuki turned his head, expressing concern to Tsubaki.
She had insisted on accompanying and assisting him in this blood debt.
But Yuki didn't want anyone to interfere; this was his fight. He managed to prevent Eggy and Est from intervening, but he couldn't stop Tsubaki.
Tsubaki was his woman, but Yuki still had doubts. She wasn't the type for combat, at least not someone who could cold-bloodedly kill.
"I'm sure. I don't want to lose, and I'm sure Gasai-san wouldn't hesitate."
Gripping the hilt of her katana, Tsubaki didn't hesitate. As someone who survived the Survival Game in her world, battles had toughened her fighting spirit. She also knew that if Yuno were in her place, she wouldn't hesitate to go to hell if it meant protecting Yuki.
And as Yuno's major rival, Tsubaki didn't want to lose to her.
Although if Yuno were in this world, her sword might already be stained with blood, and Danzo would be in the torture chamber.
"I understand."
Yuki didn't inquire further and took action.
[Master...]
[....]
Est and Eggy in the spiritual world watched with great interest. Est was eager, hoping that Yuki would call her into this battle; she was his sword. Eggy, on the other hand, was more composed. Blood debts were common in their native world, and many cultivators would fight over the slightest grudge, let alone a blood debt.
She was surprised by how well-prepared Yuki was for this. Yuki was different from the cultivators. He didn't blindly charge at the enemy and also covered his tracks to avoid guilt.
In their world, such things were unnecessary. If you had the biggest fist, you could do whatever you wanted without worrying about people or those around you. Everyone would accept it because that was the law of the world.
Yuki was very different in that sense. By doing this, he avoided involving Tsunade and prevented citizens from losing faith in the higher-ups. If information leaked that Danzo and Hiruzen ordered the Uchiha clan's extermination, other clans would rebel, causing endless problems for Tsunade. In extreme cases, it could be the end of Konoha.
It was better if they believed that they died due to the invasion and put all the blame on Orochimaru, the Sound Village, and the Sand Village.
"Let's go, Tsubaki. Danzo must feel the desperation."
Smiling cruelly, Yuki took Tsubaki's hand and entered the underground base without hesitation.

The sound of footsteps echoed. Danzo narrowed his eyes as Root ninjas swallowed nervously.
The Devourer was a nightmare for them. Many had been killed by this ninja.
*Clap, clap
Suddenly, applause rang out, and Yuki, dressed in his Anbu battle attire and mask, emerged from the darkness.
"Congratulations, Danzo, you didn't run..."
Danzo clenched his fists but remained undeterred. There were only two people; initially, he thought Yuki would come with the entire Anbu, but coming alone meant he was underestimating him.
This was good. It was a good opportunity to kill him, but Danzo didn't let his guard down and stared directly at his enemy.
"While I was outside the village, I came across a nice gift from you. You're truly predictable, old man."
Touching his neck, Yuki smiled and mocked the old man's feeble attempt.
"Akatsuki is useless."
"No, you're the useless one, old man."
Shaking his head, Yuki pointed at Danzo.
"You're a cancer, Danzo. Right now, I will exterminate you like the vermin you are."
"Devourer, you have caused too much harm to Konoha's balance. Your mere existence is evil, for the sake of the Ninja world and Konoha's peace, you must die."
"Die? Do you want to kill me? Just like you did with my clan?"
"The Uchiha Clan was always the source of all evil. Eliminating them made Konoha more prosperous. Their sacrifice was necessary; I only did what needed to be done for the sake of Konoha's peace. I am the Savior of this village."
"Don't spout nonsense. You killed my clan out of your damn hatred towards us. You're a rat, and I am the poison that will end your existence."
"We'll see about that. You've come with only one guard. Your pride in your strength has blinded you. You won't leave this place alive."
"You don't understand. The two of us are more than enough to kill you and your entire organization."
This was the end; neither of them was willing to back down. Yuki squinted at the ninjas in the darkness.
The number of ninjas in this room was approximately 200—too many for a simple operating room.
"I'll make you know the difference between us, Danzo. You'll feel fear and desperation."
Making a slight hand sign, the chakra around Yuki increased. The Root ninjas prepared themselves, facing their greatest enemy.
"[Hyoton: Kōri no raion]..."
The ground beneath Yuki's feet cracked, and several ice lions emerged.
*ROAR
Roaring, the ice lions ran directly towards the ninjas, beginning the hunt.
Yuki smiled; at the same time, he sank into the shadows. Tsubaki prepared her katana and murmured...
"Exchange..."
---
*Roar
The ice lions traversed the underground base. However, as elite ninjas, the Root ninjas weren't vegetables to be cut and killed.
Many traps had been set; the ice lions fell into several of them, reducing their numbers.
But this was futile, as more ice lions kept coming.
*Bom.
Explosions and chakra emissions continued. The Root ninjas didn't hesitate and unleashed their ninjutsu on the ice lions. The temperature rose, and several fireballs were shot.
"They are tough..."
Frowning in the shadows, Yuki realized that the Root ninjas were working together to eliminate the enemy. This left plenty of room for maneuvering.
"Ninpo: Aisuburasuto"
However, the ice lions' goal wasn't to kill all the ninjas. It was to reduce their numbers, and each ice lion had a parting gift.
*BOOMMMM
Various paper bombs around the ice lions lit up and exploded simultaneously, causing a massive collapse. The ground sank, and large rocks fell, crushing several ninjas.
"Darn it..."
Danzo gritted his teeth. This was one of Yuki's intentions—lure the snake out of its hole.
*Shuaaa
Suddenly, a katana gleamed, and Tsubaki appeared instantly in front of Danzo, lowering her sharp katana without hesitation.
"Danzo-sama!"
*CLANG
Fortunately for Danzo, one of his bodyguards blocked the katana with his own kunai.
Danzo was astonished. This woman in a kimono had appeared so suddenly that he couldn't detect her until it was too late.
*CLANG, CLANG
Exchanging blows with the Root ninja, Tsubaki frowned. At the same time, various lights formed around her and shot towards Danzo.
Danzo moved, dodging the projectiles, while analyzing the woman.
*Aghhh
Unfortunately, the ninjas around him weren't as lucky. They were hit by the lights and began to age visibly at an alarming rate.
"What jutsu is this?!"
Danzo, witnessing this, took a deep breath. A single strike was enough to kill, and the way they died was horrifying.
"This woman?"
Squinting, Danzo managed to deduce Tsubaki's identity. As someone with eyes all over Konoha, he knew very well that Yuki had welcomed a woman into his home.
This woman was terrifying.
Simultaneously, he made a slight hand sign, activating his jutsu. With Yuki hidden in the shadows and Tsubaki around, Danzo didn't want to die due to a careless mistake.
