'Rabbit-Boar-Ram'
Danzo's hands quickly formed seals, and Izanagi instantly began to take effect.
He didn't test the waters like he did when fighting Sasuke in the original work; because of Uchiha Jin's rise, he had almost no stock of Sharingan left. Unable to afford being reckless, he could only adopt mid-range combat!
'Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!'
In an instant.
A series of wind blades, like sickle-weasels, sprayed rapidly toward Kakashi.
Sweat broke out on Kakashi's forehead.
He now found it difficult even to extract Chakra. Facing this swift and fierce offensive, he was momentarily unable to resist.
But just then...
Shisui and Fugaku, who had just rushed in, saw the situation. Shisui charged toward Danzo with a tachi in hand, while Fugaku grabbed Kakashi and pulled him aside to dodge.
"Kakashi, take a good rest."
"Just leave the rest of the battle to us!"
After saying that...
When Fugaku looked at Danzo again, especially at the Sharingan on his arm, his gaze became extremely fierce.
His Three-Tomoe Sharingan activated, and he stood up to perform a Great Fire Dragon Jutsu!
Danzo, who was engaged in a Nintaijutsu clash with Shisui, narrowed his eyes and immediately used Shisui's attack as leverage to jump back, dodging the Great Fire Dragon before retaliating with a Vacuum Great Sphere!
Clearly...
Even though he rarely made moves, he had frequently been on the battlefield after all.
So in a conventional battle, even if Shisui and Fugaku were experts, it would be difficult to take down Danzo in a short time.
"Damn it!"
At this moment, Danzo's eyes were slightly evasive.
He hadn't expected New Konoha's reinforcements to arrive so quickly, and for them to be Mangekyo Experts like Fugaku and Shisui.
Even if the two hadn't used their Mangekyo yet, he knew it would be hard to gain any advantage today. Therefore, he immediately summoned Baku and retreated through another secret passage without a word.
Yes!
Danzo knew very well that Old Konoha was beyond saving. Since the New KonohaNinjas had caught up, it seemed this base could no longer be held.
He had originally wanted to kill Kakashi and take as many resources as possible when leaving.
Now it seemed there was no chance!
Danzo was very fast. Seeing Baku stall the two of them, he turned and fled without looking back.
"Don't think you can escape!"
Seeing this, Shisui instantly became enraged.
He directly activated Susanoo and killed Baku with one strike, while Fugaku chased after Danzo.
'Niwa-Takatsu-Hi, Twenty Times!'
To prevent Danzo from actually escaping, Fugaku did not hesitate to use his MangekyoDōjutsu Power. As a line of bloody tears fell, he immediately slowed Danzo's speed by twenty times.
Fugaku caught up to Danzo and directly cut off his head with a blade.
"Elder Fugaku!"
Shisui, catching up, couldn't help but speak: "Is he dead just like that?"
"No, he isn't!" Fugaku shook his head and spoke slowly: "Izanagi!"
In fact, that was the case.
Just as Fugaku finished speaking, the corpse on the ground gradually vanished.
Danzo instantly appeared on the other side. Having just resurrected, he immediately began fleeing frantically toward the exit of the base while using 'Izanagi' again.
But, at this moment...
Fugaku gave him no chance to use Izanagi. Without a word, he used 'Niwa-Takatsu-Hi' again, hardening his heart to slow him down by thirty times.
Even though it was only three seals, Danzo's seal-forming speed was as slow as a snail.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fugaku shouted: "Shisui, seize the Sharingan!"
"Yes!" Shisui nodded.
Then...
His speed reached its limit. First, he cut off Danzo's Wood Release arm with a blade, then he gouged his grandfather's eye out of Danzo's eye socket.
Seeing this, Fugaku deactivated his Mangekyo.
Ah!
Danzo let out a scream of agony. Lacking the suppression of the Sharingan, his severed arm began to woodify.
"Damn it, you bastards!"
"You two damned Uchiha, even if I die, I'll take you with me!"
"It's just a pity that Uchiha Jin isn't here!"
At this moment, Danzo knew clearly in his heart that he had lost his final trump card.
So...
He no longer hesitated and unleashed his final technique.
'Reverse Four Symbols Seal!'
Seeing black ink spray from Danzo's chest and sensing something was wrong, Shisui immediately kicked him deep into the corridor.
A few seconds later...
Accompanied by Danzo's shrill, desperate cry, he directly sealed half of the secret passage.
There was no other way!
He was truly desperate at this moment, never expecting that his final life-ending move wouldn't even take a single enemy with him.
"What a terrifying Sealing Jutsu!"
Fugaku gasped, unable to help but speak.
Shisui heard this and nodded.
Fortunately, he had kicked Danzo away, otherwise, both of them would have been buried with him.
"Elder Fugaku!"
"What should we do with this arm?"
Shisui picked up Danzo's Wood Release arm and looked at Fugaku beside him in confusion.
In response...
Fugaku thought for a moment, used the Four Symbols Seal to seal it, and then placed it directly into his storage scroll.
A while later...
When the two returned, the Anbu's slaughter had already ended.
Seeing this, Fugaku spoke directly: "I'll take Kakashi back first. I'll leave the matters here to you, Shisui."
"Understood!" Shisui nodded.
Then...
Fugaku carried Kakashi on his back and headed straight toward New Konoha.
Having temporarily taken command of the Anbu, Shisui began directing them to seal and store the Root's resources... Meanwhile, on the other side...
The two Ninja Clanss of Utatane and Mitokado had now returned to Old Konoha.
"Homura, we..." Utatane Koharu's voice was somewhat hoarse.
Homura Mitokado did not answer; he looked completely dejected.
After a long time...
He remained silent for a long while before slowly speaking: "Koharu, you don't need to worry too much. Although that old fellow Torifu was unwilling to help, he still gave us a subtle warning."
"Uchiha Jin likely doesn't really want to kill us, otherwise, they wouldn't have just surrounded the Village!"
"Relax, don't overthink it!"
Hearing these words, Utatane Koharu didn't know what to say except for a sigh.
She knew this, of course!
If not for Akimichi Torifu's subtle reminder, she wouldn't have let the clan retreat directly tonight, even if it meant a desperate struggle.
It was just that her heart was constantly in a state of panic!
While the two were discussing this, a member of the Sarutobi Clan ran over: "Elder Utatane, Elder Mitokado."
"Hokage-sama is still unconscious. Young Master Asuma sent me to ask for your help in treating him."
Hearing these words, the two were instantly stunned.
Hiruzen Sarutobi—unconscious?
Homura Mitokado pondered for a moment before saying with a firm tone: "Koharu, let's go take a look."
"Alright!" Utatane Koharu nodded.
As the head of the Medical Department, her Medical Ninjutsu might not be as good as Tsunade's, but she was actually quite an expert.
She had now understood Homura Mitokado's underlying meaning: since they could no longer escape, they might as well see if Hiruzen Sarutobi had any trump cards left.
If he did, all the better!
If not... then they could only pray that Uchiha Jin would show them some mercy!
