Chapter 47 Burning
Chapter 47 Burning
The strange and wildly growing dead trees around Danzo seemed to have come to life, constantly expanding into every corner of Konoha Village.
The twisted branches and dense roots spread rapidly, like a giant net, gradually shrouding the entire village in shadow.
Following Danzo's instructions, the Root members swiftly and systematically retreated to the rear, leaving only the core members to hold out with him.
Konoha ninjas from both inside and outside the village arrived one after another to provide support, especially Tsunade, who launched continuous attacks in an attempt to destroy the rampant, withered trees.
Tsunade's fists carried terrifying power as she pounded into the withered trees, each blow leveling an entire area.
The growth rate of these dead trees far exceeded her expectations. They recovered almost instantly and were even more lush than before. Tsunade's efforts gradually seemed futile.
At this moment, Danzo, located in the core area of the withered tree, was constantly releasing an evil and terrifying crimson light from his countless Sharingan eyes.
The frenzied aura surging in his pupils sent a chill down Tobirama Senju's spine...
His expression was grave...
An instinctive reaction...
Danzo at this moment may be performing a truly terrifying technique...
Related to these withered trees...
On the other side, Senju Tobirama saw that Hiruzen had completely lost his will to fight and no longer hoped that he would help him.
He took a deep breath, his expression becoming even colder and more resolute, his hands rapidly forming hand seals...
The technique of multiplying explosive tags!
Countless explosive tags appeared out of thin air, instantly adhering to Danzo's entire body like a torrential rain, completely surrounding him.
It's clear he's just completed a series of setups...
Immediately afterwards, Tobirama used Water Release again, and sharp water blades intertwined and crisscrossed, completely sealing off Danzo's space of movement as if strangling him.
He had no time to hesitate any longer; he had to end the fight quickly and eliminate the threat posed by this former disciple.
Danzo, however, did not look at Tobirama at all; his gaze remained fixed on Hiruzen Sarutobi.
He slowly stepped forward, walking step by step towards Hiruzen, completely ignoring the approaching deadly water blades and explosive tags.
"Hiruzen..."
Danzo's voice was deep and hoarse...
"In our eyes, is the Hokage truly someone who burns themselves to illuminate the entire Hidden Leaf Village?"
"But now... you don't even have the courage to kill me."
As Hiruzen Sarutobi listened to these words, he raised his head and looked at his former comrade...
"Danzo..."
Danzo slowly approached him, the withered wooden sword in his hand slowly extending...
The blade pointed downwards, as if inviting Hiruzen to end his own life.
"Kill me, Hiruzen."
"You are the Hokage, while Tobirama-sensei is nothing more than a resurrected dead man..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes trembled violently as countless past images flashed rapidly through his mind...
He shared with Danzo the war, the struggle for peace, the political maneuvering, and the bond and affection that could never be severed.
Danzo's Sharingan suddenly opened in his palm, staring intently into Hiruzen's eyes.
At that moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi finally understood that he could no longer back down.
Tears streamed down her face, but a resolute will, intertwined with pain, finally rose within her.
At this moment, Hiruzen once again took up his duties as Hokage!
"I'm sorry, Danzo..."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Hiruzen snatched the withered wooden sword that Danzo had offered!
With a swift and decisive strike, Danzo's head was severed...
Hiruzen closed his eyes...
I am in immense pain...
The moment blood gushed out, Danzo's life abruptly ended...
Perhaps it only lasts for a fleeting second.
However, in that brief second, the entire ninja world seemed to tremble.
Danzo's two Sharingan eyes closed...
Far away, Kakashi, who had just returned to the village with Jiraiya, suddenly felt his heart pounding violently, as if something was raging wildly inside him.
Meanwhile, in the more distant Land of Rice Fields, Obito Uchiha also felt his heart pounding violently...
He took out the bottle...
Observe Uchiha Abyss's Sharingan...
At this time...
This Sharingan...
It began to spin rapidly, releasing an unprecedented and terrifying power.
On the night of the massacre, Uchiha Abyss's words echoed clearly in Obito's mind once more:
"When the owner of the Mangekyou Sharingan enhanced by my left eye dies, the concepts and desires they possessed in life will be permanently transformed into the abilities of my right eye..."
Danzo is dead.
Even if it's just for a fleeting second, the truth of death has already been established.
In that instant, the strangely growing dead trees within Konoha Village suddenly surged wildly, covering most of the village in the blink of an eye and completely swallowing up all light and sound.
Meanwhile, in the archives of the Konoha Ninja Academy, a line of eerie yet clear text reappeared on a piece of homework left behind by Uchiha Gen:
Both Danzo and Hiruzen aspired to become Hokage and bring light to the entire village...
The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and then new leaves will sprout again...
This is every Hokage's dream...
The pen fell...
Unexpected changes...
An extremely high temperature suddenly erupted from the center of Konoha Village, like a raging flame that destroyed everything, instantly engulfing the streets, houses and lives, plunging the entire village into a tragic and desperate hellish scene.
The intense heat of the fireworks instantly ignited the dry wood into a raging inferno, turning the entire village into a sea of fire. Terrifying shockwaves tore through the earth and buildings, and screams of terror and despair filled the air.
Kakashi, watching from afar, stared in shock at the scene before him, his heart filled with indescribable fear and awe.
"What...what exactly is going on?"
At the moment Danzo died, his wish to become Hokage...
It has been permanently transformed into a terrifying power in Uchiha Gen's right eye!
Right eye...
Is it my left eye or my right eye on my hand?
Obito can't quite remember...
The only certainty is that both his and Kakashi's Sharingan seem to have received a massive boost once again...
This bizarre support ability is truly...
but...
These advancements are necessary to achieve a world where only Rin exists...
Hiruzen Sarutobi collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the burning village before him, his heart filled with immense pain and despair.
He ended the lifelong partnership and rival with his own hands, but also triggered this disaster.
"Danzo..."
His voice was low and sorrowful, filled with regret and grief: "What...what did you do?"
At this moment, the entire Hidden Leaf Village was transformed into a hellish world of flames.
The light of the Hokage that once illuminated Konoha has now become the flames that destroy it.
Then, Danzo reappeared on the outskirts of the village...
Gazing thoughtfully at the burning village in the distance...
All the Root ninjas in the surrounding area appeared and gathered here...
Sharingan, two were used up...
Looking at his subordinates, Danzo said calmly, "Let's go. We'll leave Konoha for now. One day, I will return, as Hokage..."
On the other side, Kakashi muttered to himself, "The fire's shadow will illuminate the village, and then new leaves will sprout again..."
