In the past, he did not need to use his full strength against Hanzo, and now his power has advanced considerably.
It's not that he looks down on Hanzo, but if you replace Hanzo with Shimura Danzo in Mokgetsu's Double Dragon Annihilation, Hanzo wouldn't be able to leave even a whole corpse.
Hanzo took out his chain-linked scythe, "Sosuke, underestimating me could be fatal."
...
Swish!
As Shimura Danzo finished speaking, he felt his body shift, and the temperature around him dropped rapidly, indicating he was in a different location.
Shimura Danzo felt a sense of relief, this was the strongest Root he had cultivated, reliable indeed.
"Get me further away first, then heal," Shimura Danzo endured the searing pain and said.
Whether it was because Sosuke's Fire Release was too powerful, Shimura Danzo could still feel that scorching pain piercing to his soul.
Mokgetsu nodded, without speaking, flashed several times, then laid Shimura Danzo on the ground and aimed his glowing green hand at him.
After half a minute, Shimura Danzo frowned deeply, feeling no sign of the burning pain in his heart and chest subsiding.
By looking at Shimura Danzo's expression, Mokgetsu immediately understood his thoughts.
The answer was simple, Mokgetsu had sneakily hit Shimura Danzo with a Green Flame in the end.
Even though Mokgetsu had controlled the power, the Green Flame was not something Shimura Danzo's heavily injured body could bear.
Now, Shimura Danzo's injuries were so severe that unless someone like Tsunade, a medical maestro, treated him, the only path ahead was death.
Under the stimulation of Mokgetsu's Yang Attribute Chakra, some minor wounds on Shimura Danzo's body gradually began to heal, but what left Shimura Danzo despairing was that he didn't feel any sign of recovery, only increasing weakness.
A glimmer of hope kindled in despair shattered, Shimura Danzo was burning with fury, clenching his fists tightly.
He wanted to question, question whether Mokgetsu had used his full strength to heal, whether he had seriously studied Medical Ninjutsu.
When Mokgetsu appeared, Shimura Danzo was overjoyed, now he was equally desperate and in deep agony.
He had thought he could continue to strive for Konoha's greatness, yet the harsh reality was merciless.
But ultimately, Shimura Danzo didn't speak out.
He wouldn't live much longer, Mokgetsu's Medical Ninjutsu couldn't save him.
In this last moment of his life, he shouldn't be cursing his subordinates, but should make one last contribution to Konoha.
At this moment, Shimura Danzo was oddly calm.
"Stop the treatment, conserve some chakra to prevent accidents," Shimura Danzo ordered.
Since it couldn't cure him, there was no point wasting Mokgetsu's Chakra.
If Mokgetsu encountered danger and couldn't bring back his information, then his death would truly be meaningless.
Mokgetsu decisively stopped the Medical Ninjutsu, a decisiveness that slightly dissatisfied Shimura Danzo.
No help for it, the Shadow Clone's chakra was limited, whether or not Shimura Danzo commanded it, Mokgetsu would silently have to decrease the output.
At the very latest, he had to hold on until Shimura Danzo died. If Shimura Danzo discovered it was only a Shadow Clone that came to rescue him, he would likely die with regrets.
"You must take my body back to Konoha; my body contains the secrets of the Hashirama Cells transplant. Let Hiruzen restart the Hashirama Cells experiment with my body," Shimura Danzo continued.
Shimura Danzo knew the value of his body. Compared to the lucky Yamato, the Hashirama Cells technology on "Uchiha Madara's" side was obviously stronger. This might be Konoha's opportunity to have a Wood Release Squad.
"Moreover, tell Hiruzen not to let Orochimaru research me. Also, in the sixth secret room of the Root Base, there is information on my cooperation with Orochimaru. You must hold this leverage in your hands. If Orochimaru ever shows any intention of harming Konoha, hand the information over to Hiruzen."
As a collaborator with Orochimaru, Shimura Danzo knew him all too well; he was a person as cold-blooded as a snake.
When he was around, Shimura Danzo had confidence in keeping Orochimaru in check. Now that he wouldn't be there, Shimura Danzo worried Orochimaru operating alone might spiral out of control.
Mokgetsu nodded, having acquired some leverage over Orochimaru, which was not a bad gain.
"Be cautious of Sosuke and a ninja claiming to be Uchiha Madara. They might be the same person or not. Regardless, if there's an opportunity, you must eliminate them and the forces behind them!" Shimura Danzo said through gritted teeth.
Sosuke and "Uchiha Madara" were both closely tied to his death, and were the two individuals Shimura Danzo now wanted to kill the most.
Mokgetsu kept nodding; seeing that a man was about to die, just let him leave this world with some peace of mind.
"When... when you return, tell Hiruzen to hand Root over to you. Say it's my wish, to bear the same darkness of Konoha that I did."
Shimura Danzo grew extremely weak, so much so that even a sharp-eared ninja like Mokgetsu had to concentrate to hear him clearly.
"Be wary of the Uchiha, they're inherently evil..."
At this point, Shimura Danzo's voice faded to the point of being inaudible; Mokgetsu could only tell from the motion of his lips that Shimura Danzo hadn't completely passed away yet.
"Mokgetsu, protect Konoha!"
Shimura Danzo used all his strength to utter his final sentence. At this moment, his mind was filled with Senju Tobirama's reminder to Sarutobi Hiruzen as he held the rear.
After speaking his final words, the string Shimura Danzo had been straining relaxed, his mouth closed, and his breathing became extremely weak.
"If only I had stepped forward first back then, what would the result have been..."
"Hiruzen, I'm going ahead," was his last thought before Shimura Danzo's consciousness fell into endless darkness.
Mokgetsu quietly watched Shimura Danzo's passing, carefully checked to confirm Shimura Danzo was truly dead, then sealed Shimura Danzo's body into a Scroll.
