"You're really cold-blooded," Naruto clicked his tongue in mock disapproval. "All your subordinates are dead, and yet your heart doesn't stir even an inch!" His eyes narrowed as he stared at the countless Sharingan covering Danzo's arms.
"Looks like it's not just Shisui's eye you crave you're after the power of the entire Uchiha clan!"
Sasuke was on the verge of madness. The Uchiha had been toyed with by someone like this!
Bloodshot veins marked his Mangekyō Sharingan. In an instant, his Susanoo materialized to a half-body form. The Kusanagi sword coalesced in his hand, and he swung with devastating force.
A seductive flash of violet sword energy sliced through the air. Danzo's body split cleanly in two.
But the next instant, he reappeared, fully intact, beside Naruto, kunai thrusting toward him with lethal intent.
"Die!"
The kunai snapped midair. Danzo froze in shock as the skeletal frame of Naruto's Susanoo intercepted the blade.
Danzo stared dumbfounded into Naruto's eyes, only to see a six-pointed Mangekyō Sharingan staring back, gleaming with amusement.
"Kunai against Susanoo? You're the first person to try that!" Naruto's lips curled in a teasing smirk.
At that moment, a Rasenshuriken already pressed against Danzo's chest.
The sheer force shattered his upper body.
"Sasuke, watch his body closely. I don't believe his revival is unlimited," Naruto sent through their mental link.
Sasuke's mind-sharing bond easily received the message.
"Got it," Sasuke responded.
Under their watchful eyes, Danzo's lower half began to fade like a dream, while a new version of him materialized a short distance away, as if the world had simply refreshed him.
"One of the eyes on his arm closed! He has eight Sharingan left," Sasuke noted, examining Danzo minutely with his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Finally, he understood the mechanism.
"So his resurrection comes at the cost of his Sharingan! How many times he can revive depends on how many Sharingan he has left!" Naruto deduced.
"That seems right," Sasuke agreed.
"What kind of Uchiha technique is this? Looks like he can redirect the damage inflicted onto him," Naruto asked, curious.
"I don't know. I was too young when the Uchiha were wiped out. Father never told me many clan secrets. Maybe Itachi knows," Sasuke replied.
"This is going to be fun. Remember the game we played when we were resting?" Naruto's voice carried a teasing lilt in Sasuke's mind.
"You mean…?" Sasuke raised a brow, smirking slightly.
"Exactly that!" Naruto confirmed.
Danzo, newly resurrected, drew a deep breath. His chest rose as he gathered feral chakra. With a sharp shout, he unleashed, "Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
A massive compressed air projectile shot from his mouth, tearing through the air with a piercing whistle, hurtling straight toward Naruto and Sasuke.
Yet in the chaos, he failed to notice a line of characters slowly sliding across the floor to his feet Naruto's Flying Thunder God mark.
In the next instant, Naruto vanished. The Flying Thunder God Technique activated!
He reappeared beside Danzo, directly above the text marking his path.
Before Danzo could react, Naruto delivered a spinning kick charged with Sage chakra, crashing into his side.
"Try this: Comet Strikes Earth!"
A muffled thud. Danzo's body was hurled violently, screaming, flying like a cannonball toward Sasuke.
Sasuke, ready for the moment, swung his half-body Susanoo, enveloped in violet chakra. A massive skeletal foot formed, aiming with perfect precision.
"Die, you bastard!" The blood-red veins of his Mangekyō Sharingan flared.
The kick struck Danzo midair, his spine cracking audibly.
He groaned, life draining fast, but Izanagi automatically activated. His body dissolved into an illusion, and a new Danzo materialized a few meters away.
Seven Sharingan remained.
Almost simultaneously, Naruto reappeared through the Flying Thunder God mark, leaving Danzo no time to cast seals or counterattack.
"He revived? Then round two! Sasuke, catch him!" Naruto kicked him, sending Danzo flying toward Sasuke like a human projectile.
Sasuke met him, slapping his half-body Susanoo's hands together as if catching a ball but slightly too hard, shattering Danzo completely.
"You turtle bastard!"
Sasuke's strength in Susanoo was overwhelming.
"Perfect catch!" Naruto praised.
Sasuke lifted his head slightly, a faint smirk tugging at his lips.
Six Sharingan left.
Danzo, resurrected again, scanned the area, only to find the floor littered with Flying Thunder God marks.
"Damn it! You dare toy with me?!" He screamed while trying to escape.
"In my Flying Thunder God domain, your escape is impossible!" Naruto appeared behind him instantly.
Before Danzo could react, Naruto struck with another kick.
"Toe Shot!"
Danzo screamed as his body flew toward Sasuke again.
"Little Toe Shot!" Sasuke's Susanoo foot rotated outward with a spinning kick, turning Danzo into a mist of blood.
Five Sharingan left.
Danzo reappeared a short distance away, face twisted in rage and humiliation. He gasped for breath.
"Refreshing quickly, huh? This one's a Knee Shot!" Naruto's teasing voice echoed like a worm gnawing at the bones.
Danzo's body was crushed by an overwhelming force before he could even react.
He screamed as he flew like a cannonball toward Sasuke again.
Sasuke's massive half-body Susanoo foot, poised like a goalkeeper, struck him with calculated force, cushioning the blow but keeping him airborne.
"Ugh!" Danzo's bones ached, organs shifted violently, and the impact sent him slamming to the ground, unconscious. Life drained rapidly.
Another illusion manifested; Danzo reappeared a few meters away, eyes filled with desperation and the will to survive.
Four Sharingan remained.
Naruto, like a phantom, struck again with a brutal low kick, smashing Danzo's freshly stood leg bone.
