Danzo is treacherous, despicable, and unscrupulous.
It can be said that anyone who has fought against Danzo would have extreme fear and disgust towards him.
Danzo excels at being detestable in this regard.
However, when facing the Dragon Slayer, Danzo seems to be restrained.
Danzo has never encountered such an opponent before.
Moreover, the key is that the Dragon Slayer is also a Zanpakuto. If Danzo engages in verbal sparring with the Dragon Slayer, it would only lower his own status without any effect, as verbal attacks cannot counter it.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
"Wind Style: Shuriken!"
"Wind Style: Vacuum Waves Barrage!"
A massive sphere of wind-style chakra, much larger in both power and scale than the Vacuum Sphere just used by Shinnosuke.
It is like a high-yield shell.
And its speed is extremely fast.
Several shuriken flew out, spinning rapidly imbued with wind-natured chakra like spinning wind blades.
They can cut through anything.
One above, one below, one to the left, and one to the right…
From all directions, Kisame was being thoroughly restrained.
At the same time, several massive wind-style chakra-infused blades continuously slashed towards Kisame.
Kisame's expression was serious.
It must be said that when Danzo made a move, Kisame truly felt a much greater pressure compared to Shinnosuke.
The Dragon Slayer mumbled, "This old man still has some skills."
Kisame met Danzo's Vacuum Waves Barrage Jutsu with the Sword of Wisdom.
"Clang!"
As the attraction force fell, Danzo's Vacuum Waves Barrage Jutsu dissipated at a visibly slow rate.
However, Danzo's attacks come too fast and too densely.
So, even though Kisame blocked the Vacuum Waves Barrage, he does not have as good a counter for Danzo's other ninjutsu.
The Sword of Wisdom took time to absorb ninjutsu.
"Kid, let go!"
The voice of the Dragon Slayer sounded.
Kisame was momentarily stunned, but then understood the Dragon Slayer's intent.
He let go.
In the next moment, he plunged into the lake beneath him.
The Sword of Wisdom's blade erupted with an even stronger attraction.
Not only the Vacuum Waves Barrage but even the Vacuum Great Sphere were drawn in.
"Old man, is that all?"
The only things left pursuing Kisame were the few Wind Release Shuriken.
However, once in the water, the Wind Release Shuriken were inevitably affected by the resistance of the water.
In this situation, their speed and power would be significantly reduced.
"Water Release: Water Fang Blade Jutsu!"
Kisame formed a blade of water to counterattack.
The Konoha people became excited upon seeing this.
"Great!"
"Danzo-sama's intervention was indeed without suspense."
"With just a single move, Kisame had to let go of his Zanpakuto to evade."
"Does this mean that Danzo-sama can take that Zanpakuto?"
"If that's the case, it would be fantastic."
"These Zanpakuto from Hidden Mist Village have caused Konoha a lot of trouble, but if these Zanpakuto become Konoha's, it would be different."
"Our Konoha ninjas would certainly be able to use them better than Hidden Mist Village ninjas."
"Danzo-sama's plan is excellent."
"Now that Fuguki Suikazan and Kurosuki Raiga are not present, no one can stop Danzo-sama."
The Konoha ninjas were unaware that Kurosuki Raiga was hiding in the shadows.
Danzo thought the same.
As soon as Kisame let go of the Sword of Wisdom, he made his move.
Moving at incredible speed, he approached the Sword of Wisdom.
Kurosuki Raiga's eyes flashed from the shadows.
"Shimura Danzo… is the Zanpakuto crafted by Chief Uehara something you can covet too?"
Raiga had originally no intention of making a move for the time being.
He planned to only intervene once Ameyuri could no longer hold on, to defeat Hyuga Hizashi.
But now, Raiga could not stand by and watch the Sword of Wisdom be taken by Danzo.
"Lightning Wave!"
Kurosuki Raiga raised his Lightning Blade and positioned himself in a line with Hizashi and Danzo
"Boom!"
In an instant, a powerful surge of lightning erupted.
It surged forth like a roaring beast.
Danzo suddenly turned around, unable to help but recall the scene of being defeated by Kurosuki Raiga that day.
As a high-ranking Konoha Elder.
The root of Konoha.
The dark side of Konoha.
He was actually defeated by a mere waste from the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist, who had barely escaped from Might Duy.
Danzo felt that it was his shame.
But Danzo had to admit, the attack of the Lightning Blade was indeed too powerful.
A beam of light instantly enveloped Danzo.
The intense lightning struck Danzo.
Before this, Hyuga Hizashi, had already suffered severe damage.
Under the effect of the lightning, Hyuga Hizashi was directly paralyzed.
His body could not move.
Due to the scale of the lightning, Ameyuri also suffered some impact.
However, the main target was *Hizashi.
Ameyuri was only slightly affected.
In Raiga's calculations, Hizashi would undoubtedly suffer heavy injuries from this attack.
Meanwhile, Ameyuri should have found an opportunity to escape.
However, what Raiga did not anticipate was that Ameyuri did not seize the chance to retreat.
Instead, she used this opportunity to attack Hizashi again.
"Nikkari Ao'e!"
A blade struck directly into Hizashi's body.
Having been hit by the Lightning Blade, Hizashi's body was paralyzed and unable to dodge.
"Thud!"
The blade of Nikkari Ao'e sank into Hizashi's body.
Immediately, Hizashi felt a new force invading his body.
This force controlled him, rendering him immobile.
Hizashi had to focus his chakra on the wound to counteract it.
However, Ameyuri's next attack arrived.
"Hyuga ninja, die!"
It could be said that once Hizashi was controlled, the outcome was already decided.
Ameyuri used Nikkari Ao'e, continuously landing strikes.
Wounds appeared one after another on Hizashi's body.
While everyone's attention was drawn to Danzo, very few Konoha ninjas noticed the situation with Hizashi.
No one expected that, although Hizashi's strength was clearly superior to Ameyuri's, as long as Ameyuri found an opportunity, she could directly control Hizashi to death.
One strike, two strikes, three strikes...
Until Ameyuri found an opportunity and successfully drove the blade of Nikkari Ao'e into Hizashi's vital points.
"Thud!"
She withdrew the blade.
A large amount of blood gushed out.
Hizashi looked down, staring intently at his chest with wide, incredulous eyes.
Hizashi hadn't expected that he would end up in this situation.
He only intended to help and assist Kurenai.
Because the Hyuga Clan and the Yuhi Clan had a good relationship.
Hizashi couldn't just watch Kurenai in trouble.
Facing Ameyuri, Hizashi had absolute confidence.
But he never expected that, in the blink of an eye, the situation would turn out like this.
"So this is the ability of the Stiffening Blade."
"Once injured, it completely robs you of the ability to resist."
Hizashi felt his strength drain away and involuntarily collapsed forward.
Only after confirming Hizashi's death did Ameyuri withdraw.
Ameyuri was not reckless earlier.
It was just that, when Raiga's Lightning Wave struck, some of the lightning hit Ameyuri, but she didn't feel any discomfort.
She even felt that she could use the lightning to her advantage.
She was not affected negatively at all.
With Hizashi paralyzed, Ameyuri did not hesitate and seized this rare opportunity.
"Grandmother, now I've finally avenged you a little."
Ameyuri had transferred all her hatred for the attack on Mayuko by Kaguya Hikari to the Hyuga Clan, with Hizashi being one of them.
"Just now, when the lightning entered my body, I didn't feel any discomfort. Instead, my chakra automatically flowed in, as if I had gained a new power..."
"Could it be that I have a great talent for Lightning Release?"
"Perhaps I should give it a try."
Ameyuri felt that her progress in Water Release had become more difficult.
In other words, she was approaching the upper limit of rapid progress.
From here on, it would only be a matter of time and effort.
Such limits were unsatisfactory for Ameyuri.
She hoped she could become stronger.
Few people noticed Hizashi's fall; most were focused on Danzo.
"Raiga-sama has made a move!"
"Danzo has no chance now!"
"Our Hidden Mist Village will win for sure!"
Previously, Raiga had already defeated Danzo. This time, the Mist ninjas did not find it surprising; the attacks used by Raiga were no worse than last time.
The Konoha people showed worried expressions.
"Kurosuki Raiga, last time you merely caught me off guard and ambushed me. Do you really think that means I am no match for you?"
"Summoning Jutsu!"
Danzo bit his finger and slammed it down.
An extremely large figure instantly appeared.
"Baku!"
Baku was entirely yellow, with two shades of yellow—one orange-yellow and the other pale yellow, and its shape resembled an elephant.
When the lightning struck, Baku blocked most of the attack for Danzo.
Baku let out a mournful cry.
Not far away, the monkey who had carried Shinnosuke away, glanced back and frowned.
Danzo summoning Baku was purely to let Baku take the damage.
The monkey could not accept this.
"Treating a Summon Beast like this?"
"Shimura Danzo, you are truly far inferior to Hiruzen-sama. No wonder you can't become Hokage."
However, since this was a matter of the Baku Clan, the monkey could only complain silently.
Even with Baku as a shield, Danzo still suffered considerable damage under Kurosuki Raiga's Lightning Wave, though it was slightly less severe than last time.
It still retained its mobility.
Danzo did not look at Kurosuki Raiga, who was attacked. Instead, he reached out and firmly grabbed the hilt of the Sword of Wisdom.
"This Zanpakuto is mine now!"
Danzo held the Sword of Wisdom and smiled.
"Once we return, it will be properly trained."
Danzo examined the Sword of Wisdom in his hand. Not sensing any obvious resistance, he rotated his wrist slightly for a more thorough inspection.
"This Zanpakuto is a bit special, having its own consciousness."
"But its essence is still a Ninjato."
"Whoever holds the Ninjato can use it."
At that moment, suddenly, the length of the Sword of Wisdom extended sharply.
The Sword of Wisdom was waiting for this opportunity!
Danzo, holding the Sword of Wisdom, had the sword tip facing himself.
The suddenly extended blade of the Sword of Wisdom pierced directly into Danzo's body.
"Thud!"
Danzo's eyes widened as he instinctively threw the Sword of Wisdom away.
One hand pressed tightly against the wound.
"Hahaha!"
"Old man, you're really foolish. You think someone like you can use me?"
"Did you really believe my act?"
"Dream on."
"Are you enjoying yourself now?"
"Kid, come!"
"I'll give you power!"
Kisame emerged from beneath the water and caught the Sword of Wisdom.
Immediately, Kisame felt a surge of chakra pouring from the Sword of Wisdom into his body.
The amount of chakra absorbed from the Sword of Wisdom was even greater than the chakra feedback from absorbing Shinnosuke's Ninjutsu last time.
Immediately, Kisame was restored to full capacity.
"Danzo-sama!"
The Root Ninjas who had been hiding nearby were alarmed upon seeing this and quickly came to assist.
In a moment, their numbers overwhelmed Kisame.
The Hidden Mist Ninjas did not expect so many hidden Root Ninjas.
By the time they tried to provide support, it was already too late.
But Dragon Slayer was not worried.
"Kid, don't worry. Go all out, and I'll take you flying!"
"Together, we'll make sure that old man is left with nothing!"
In the next moment, the Sword of Wisdom emitted an even stronger force of attraction.
This time, even the lightning power on Baku was drawn in.
It even absorbed the residual chakra from Kurosuki Raiga's Lightning Wave.
Kisame felt the chakra surging back into his body. He looked at Danzo across from him and took a deep breath.
He formed hand signs.
"Water Release: A Thousand Feeding Sharks!"
Not just one, not ten, not a hundred.
But a full thousand sharks appeared.
They were formed from water, but their strength and ferocity surpassed that of real sharks.
In an instant, the entire lake seemed to boil.
For the first time, fear appeared on Danzo's face.
