"Hu... hu... hu..."
A massive surge of chakra erupted like a blazing inferno, accompanied by a violent gust of wind pressure that instantly shattered several nearby shadow clones.
Kairen pressed that immense chakra aura down upon Sarutobi Hiruzen's body and said coldly,
"Are you trying to save that old guy?"
Kairen could feel the murderous intent radiating from Hiruzen's heart. He didn't bother to say anything more.
"Damn it!"
Danzō cursed under his breath. He quickly pulled a soldier pill from his pouch and swallowed it, staring grimly at the unscathed Kairen, his brows tightening further.
He was a Kage-level ninja, yet after all this fighting, he hadn't managed to leave a single scratch on that kid.
That body of his... it was just like the First Hokage's. No matter how hard you fought, you couldn't leave so much as a mark on him.
Uchiha Madara quietly observed, then spat to the side.
"Hashirama must have been faking sympathy that day. How could anyone 'kill themselves' with a kunai?"
Seeing Kairen's regenerative abilities reminded him of Senju Hashirama.
He had fought that man for a day and a night, even crossing all the way to the Land of Water—just to bite off a piece of Hashirama's flesh, and nearly died doing it.
To think how difficult it was to harm a man with that kind of body!
...
Danzō touched the Sharingan on the left side of his face.
Since everyone already knew, there was no point hiding it anymore.
Fine then, I, Danzō, will use the Sharingan's Genjutsu to cut this brat down!
"Wind Release: Instant Gust Body Flicker!"
Wind chakra swirled around Danzō's legs as he launched himself forward, his speed tearing through the air. In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Kairen.
Kairen folded his arms and looked at him sideways, completely unconcerned.
Danzō cursed inwardly.
That gaze… it's just like those damned Uchiha eyes.
"Genjutsu: Sharingan!"
The chakra in his three-tomoe Sharingan began to spin, spiritual energy surging as it invaded Kairen's mind.
"Warning! Warning!"
"Activating neural defense!"
Kairen smiled faintly. No Genjutsu could affect him; Danzō's illusion was a wasted effort.
But just for fun, Kairen decided to play along—time to show this washed-up elder what real acting looked like.
He froze, eyes going dull and lifeless, as if he truly had fallen under Danzō's spell.
"I've got him under control!"
Danzō exhaled in relief and pressed a hand against his Sharingan.
He was still not used to using Uchiha eyes—it took a toll—but the results were undeniably satisfying.
"Hahaha!"
"Do you see now? This is what happens when you cross Shimura Danzō. Anyone who stands in the way of me becoming Hokage deserves to die!"
"Look at White Fang—his grave's already covered in weeds."
Danzō laughed triumphantly, pulling out a fifteen-centimeter-long kunai and extending it toward Kairen's head.
Suddenly, a slender hand caught his wrist.
Danzō's eyes widened in shock.
Kairen smirked. "Old Danzō, trying to use Genjutsu on me? Maybe in your next life!"
"Ninja Art: Monster Strength!"
Kairen's right hand surged with immense chakra, power gathering in his palm—tens of thousands of pounds of force concentrated into one grip.
Crack—!
The sound of bones snapping echoed out as Kairen crushed Danzō's wrist completely.
"Ahhh!"
Danzō dropped to his knees, tears of pain streaming down his face.
Kairen yanked hard, tearing Danzō's entire right arm off in one brutal motion. Blood sprayed everywhere as Kairen tossed the severed arm aside.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
A large black wolf-dog lunged forward, its eyes fixed on Danzō's severed arm. Beside it stood Canon, aiming an AK straight at the dog's head.
Canon pointed at the arm and ordered, "Eat it."
Kuromaru: ▌°Д °;)っ
Kuromaru didn't dare disobey. Obediently, it opened its jaws wide…
The shadow clones had reacted instantly—the moment Danzō's arm was torn off, they had already cornered the Inuzuka clan's dogs.
Inuzuka Tsume, Kiba's mother, could only glare in fury but said nothing, watching helplessly as her Kuromaru gnawed on Danzō's arm.
Kuromaru quietly chewed, glancing sideways at Canon, who still had the gun pressed to its head.
I may not be human, but you're the real animal here!
"Old bastard!"
Kairen grabbed Danzō by the hair and yanked his head toward the side where his arm was being eaten.
Sweat poured down Danzō's face as he stared in horror at his mutilated arm, the rage and humiliation driving him mad.
"Ahhhhhh!"
"You little monster! I'll kill you!"
Kairen lifted his head by the hair and stared at him with disdain.
"Fight me, Danzō. Do you really think you're worthy?"
His other hand morphed into an AK, pressing it right against Danzō's temple.
"Old man, time to send you to hell to play Hokage there!"
"Kairen—you dare?!"
A black staff suddenly shot forward, stabbing into Kairen's back and launching him twenty meters away.
Ding!
[Sarutobi Hiruzen dealt you 100 points of damage!]
Kairen stood up, glancing toward Hiruzen, who had charged into the battlefield surrounded by shadow clones.
The old man wore his black battle armor and held his staff, glaring furiously at Kairen.
Kairen and his fifty AK-wielding clones raised their guns toward Hiruzen, shouting,
"You corrupt scum who exploit the people—let me show you the power of the red revolution!"
"Ratatatatatatata—!"
Muzzle flashes flared like sparks. Hiruzen's adamantine staff reverted to its original form as the Monkey King, Enma, appeared beside him, easily deflecting the hail of fiery bullets.
"Everyone, attack!"
The ANBU and Root operatives, seeing the chaos escalate, rushed in.
"Fire! Fire!"
Kairen's clones didn't hesitate—they all raised their AKs and unleashed another storm of bullets toward Root and ANBU alike.
"Ratatatatatatata—!"
The air filled with the deafening roar of gunfire.
"Autobots—transform!"
Scorpion-Kairen transformed into Bumblebee, firing his cannon wildly at the Root ninjas.
"Enough!"
Jiraiya's voice boomed as Gamabunta stomped the ground, shaking the battlefield and leaping into the center.
"Stop!"
Kairen raised his hand, signaling his clones to cease fire. The Root and ANBU ninjas also froze in place, a tense standoff settling over the field.
One Root ninja cautiously moved to help Danzō up.
"Bang bang bang bang—!"
In an instant, five hundred AKs roared at once, shredding him into a sieve.
Tsunade and Orochimaru's summoned beasts stepped forward, blocking the space between Hiruzen and Kairen.
Jiraiya glared at Kairen and shouted, "Enough of this farce! You've already taken one of Elder Danzō's arms—doesn't that satisfy your anger?!"
Kairen didn't even look at Jiraiya. His gaze locked onto Hiruzen.
In the next instant—
"Gate of Opening, open! Gate of Rest, open! Gate of Life, open..."
Five Gates burst open at once, and the Nine-Tails' chakra surged around Kairen once more.
