The Otsutsuki Road from Kirigakure

There was a flash of astonishment and disbelief in Shimura Danzo's eyes. This time, his three-magatama Sharingan was unable to see through Nagato's attack at all...!

Then, a stream of scarlet blood spurted out of his mouth, shooting straight into the air like a blood arrow. The bright red blood drew shocking arcs in the air, and fell down, dyeing the surrounding ground bright red...!

Killed with one blow!!!

Danzo Shimura's body, which was pierced from bottom to top by the saw teeth, was like a candle in the wind, hanging on the top of the saw teeth, and was about to fall...!

His face was filled with disbelief and unwillingness, but after twitching weakly for a few times, his body gradually began to stiffen, and finally he completely lost his breath of life and turned into a cold corpse...!

.........

.........

.........

However, the next moment, Danzo's body, like a flower in a mirror or a moon in water, turned from real to virtual and slowly dissipated at the top of the sawtooth...!

Then, Danzo Shimura, whose right eye had turned gray but whose injuries had been completely healed, suddenly appeared beside Nagato and grabbed Nagato's Rinnegan fiercely...!!!

All of a sudden!

Polar reversal!!!

However, as a disciple of Seiji, how could Nagato not know the forbidden technique of "Izanagi" of the Sharingan? You know, Seiji was tricked by Uchiha Madara in the past!

Therefore, when Danzo formed hand seals and performed "Izanagi", Nagato quickly recognized the technique that Danzo was performing from the knowledge that Seiji had taught him before.

However, Danzo still had no idea about this, and was still complacently thinking that this was his trump card for a comeback...!!!

.........

.........

.........

Nagato, who had been on guard and prepared, immediately discovered Danzo's movements the moment he appeared.

Therefore, when Danzo was about to reach out and take his Samsara Eye, Nagato was also one step ahead of Danzo at the same time, and first separated a mechanical arm of Shura Road, which extended out and clamped Danzo's throat!!!

"Ahem..." Danzo, whose movements were interrupted and whose throat was pinched by Nagato, felt as if he had been hit hard. He struggled to squeeze out a hoarse and vicious word from his throat, "Impossible!!!"

The impotent and furious Danzo was almost going crazy, he never expected that the sneak attack he had planned for a long time with the help of "Izanagi" not only failed to succeed, but he was actually subdued by Nagato, the damn Uzumaki brat!

Nagato looked indifferently at Danzo who was restrained by him, with endless anger flashing in the depths of his eyes. Then, one of his arms that had not yet been retracted from his shoulder, once again changed into the shape of a cannon muzzle, and chakra gathered rapidly...!

The next blow will be the end of Danzo!!!

"Wrist laser cannon!!!"

An extremely thick, bright purple laser beam emitting dazzling light, cut through the void like lightning, and shot straight towards Danzo's heart at lightning speed!

Wherever it passed, the air was instantly torn apart, emitting a pungent burnt smell and a piercing whistling sound that vibrated Danzo's eardrums.

Sensing the breath of death, Danzo struggled hard under the grip of the Shurado mechanical arm, and finally at the last moment, he slightly deflected his body and escaped the fate of being directly pierced through his body...!

However, although Danzo tried his best to dodge, this powerful laser cannon still ruthlessly grazed the right half of Danzo's body.

Along with a dazzling light that streaked across the sky, Danzo's right arm was severed at the root and was completely destroyed in an instant...!

The extremely high temperature generated by the laser cannon caused Danzo's right arm to disappear, and he didn't feel the slightest pain...!

Only the feeling of emptiness coming from where his right arm was originally located kept reminding Danzo again and again of the cruel and unavoidable reality: his right arm no longer existed...!

An extreme feeling of emptiness and loss seemed to have turned into an invisible hand, tightly grasping his heart, making him feel the pain deep in his bones with every breath.

.........

.........

.........

"Ha!" Nagato sneered upon seeing this. Danzo, this bastard is quite tenacious. So, what are you going to do with the next shot... ?

The muzzle of the gun flashed purple light again, and the destructive aura continued to echo in Danzo's heart.

The cold muzzle flashed with a deep purple light again, like a flame from the abyss of hell, weird and dazzling, illuminating the surroundings in a dazzling purple.

A destructive and terrifying aura also surged in like a tide, as if carrying endless power of death and destruction, rushing straight towards Danzo.

The destructive aura was like the roar of a devil, constantly stirring in Shimura Danzo's heart. His heart was beating rapidly, his gloomy and narrow eyes were wide open, staring at the muzzle of the gun that was constantly flashing purple light, his face full of fear and despair...!

This time, he has already lost an arm, and he might really die!!!

.........

.........

.........

"Lord Danzo!" At this time, at the cost of the life of one of the Root ninjas, the remaining Root ninjas who had tried their best to intercept Yahiko and Konan finally got rid of the pursuit of Yahiko and Konan, and rushed over with roars, trying to snatch their Lord Danzo back from Nagato.

However, Nagato only fired one "Shinra Tensei" and bounced them all back at a speed faster than they had rushed towards him, cutting off their thoughts of rescuing Danzo...!

"Nagato!" Yahiko, who was chasing those Root ninjas, also came to Nagato's side at this time, breathing slightly, and nodded at Nagato.

Konan was floating beside Yahiko, with two huge white wings made of white paper dancing slowly behind her...!

It was under Seiji's guidance that the new technique was developed, "Paper Style: Shikigami Dance"!!!

-----------------

Suddenly, Nagato's expression changed slightly, and he sensed the chakra aura of the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

Then, the movements of his hands began to become hesitant, and the chakra cannon that was on the verge of firing, gradually calmed down...!

"Hmph! What a lucky guy!" After thinking for a moment, Nagato finally gave up the idea of ​​killing Danzo at this time.

After all, killing the Hokage's assistant in front of the Hokage, even if Danzo was the first to act and they were victims, as long as Danzo died here, it would still cause a conflict between the Hidden Mist Village and the Konoha Village...!

You have to know that this happened in the Land of Fire, and even in the territory of Konoha Village. Killing Danzo would not matter if it was done in secret, but doing it openly would be a provocation to Konoha Village. Although Kirigakure is not afraid of Konoha now, according to the plan, the war cannot be started by Kirigakure Village...!

Therefore, Nagato could not, and was unwilling to, cause trouble for his teacher, Seiji...!

So, let this old dog Danzo live a little longer!!!

.........

.........

.........

A sharp cold light flashed in Nagato's Rinnegan's eyes, and then he clenched his left hand into a fist, stepped forward, and with overwhelming force, he punched out with a thunderous force, hitting Danzo's abdomen hard.

With a loud "bang", Danzo groaned, his body involuntarily arched backwards, and a mouthful of scarlet blood spurted out of his mouth, splashing in the air to form a blood mist...!

Afterwards, Nagato controlled the mechanical arm that restrained Danzo, grabbed Danzo's collar, and mercilessly threw him towards the direction of the Root ninjas who were flung away by his "Shinra Tensei" not far away.

Danzo was thrown out rapidly like a cannonball, bringing with him a sharp gust of wind, and the Root ninja who caught him was knocked back dozens of steps before he was completely relieved of the huge impact force...!

"Retreat!" Danzo, who was in an extremely miserable state, couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood again, and then gave the order to retreat helplessly. He knew that his good friend, the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, would be here soon, and he couldn't stay here any longer...!

This time, he really ended up losing more than he gained. The only thing he gained was the information he collected about the Rinnegan, and figured out the most critical "Shinra Tensei", which had a cooling time of five seconds. This laid a solid foundation for the next siege on Nagato and the seizure of the Rinnegan!

.........

.........

.........

Soon, the barrier of the Four Purple Flame Array dissipated, and Danzo Shimura and the remaining Root ninjas quickly erased any traces that could prove their identities, and put all the fallen Root ninjas into the scroll.

Their movements were incredibly swift and skillful, and it was obvious that they had done the same thing many times before...!

Afterwards, two Root Ninjas lifted up their Lord Danzo and disappeared into the Forest of Death together with the rest of the Root Ninjas...!

All that was left was the silent and desolate battlefield, and Nagato, Yahiko and Konan, who were standing there with their chakras having calmed down, witnessing the fierce and brutal battle that had just taken place...!

-----------------

Another three breaths passed.

The Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, wearing combat uniform, and his Anbu subordinates, finally arrived at the scene...!

.........

.........

.........

"Three young friends from the Hidden Mist Village!" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked kindly, "What happened here? The noise just now has spread throughout the Death Forest, and even the Konoha Village has sensed the violent chakra fluctuations!"

At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed slightly in his heart, but his expression did not show any sign of it. He had to clean up the mess for his good friend again...!

Of course he knew what was going on, but how could he possibly tell it out loud? After all, that was his beloved friend, brother, Danzo Shimura...!

Nagato and Konan couldn't help but look at Yahiko. Both of them were not very good at handling this kind of thing, and in terms of the team, Yahiko was their captain, so just leave it to Yahiko.

Yahiko was silent for a moment, then smiled at the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, bowed respectfully, and then said, with no faults in his etiquette or tone, "No! It was just an ordinary battle! It's no big deal! Thank you for your concern, Hokage!"

Under the influence of his teacher, Seiji, he has a relatively clear understanding of the style of the "Ninja Bear" Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen.

He knew that even if he exposed Danzo's behavior at this time, it would be of no use at all, and instead he would be evaded by the other party with various excuses.

After all, they didn't have any evidence at all, and they were currently just three "Genin". But this didn't mean that they had to swallow their anger. It was just that there was no need to start a meaningless dispute with Konoha right now.

Everything will be settled after their backbone, who is also their teacher, the Fourth Mizukage of the Hidden Mist Village, arrives in Konoha, and then they will unify and settle accounts with Konoha...!

All I can say is, it’s not that I won’t retaliate, it’s just that the time has not come yet...!

.........

.........

.........

Yahiko's answer surprised the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen. He had prepared an excuse to justify Danzo's behavior, but he didn't expect that the Kirigakure Village would give him an answer that he didn't expect.

It was as if he had thrown a punch with all his strength, but it hit right on a ball of soft, weightless cotton, giving a feeling of emptiness and lightness...!

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart was stirred. He was worthy of being the disciple of the Mizukage. Although he was young, he was very experienced in dealing with people...!

After a pause, Sarutobi Hiruzen swallowed back what he was about to say, gathered his composure, and slowly said, "In that case, you can continue with the exam. I am sorry for interrupting you!"
