Hatake Kakashi stared at Shimura Danzo's power—especially knowing that within it lay the strength of his own father—and felt both shock and fury surge through his heart.
But more than anything else, he was deeply worried about Uchiha Qianyu.
"Lord Qianyu!"
Many people couldn't help but cry out.
However—
"Trivial tricks."
Qianyu merely sneered, completely ignoring Danzo's fierce assault, and chose direct, brutal retaliation!
Susanoo!
The Thousand-Seal Sin-Binding Chain lashed out violently—crack!—stretching instantly as the black-and-crimson killing chain swept forward, wrapping tightly around Baku, Danzo's summoned beast.
Power erupted.
Baku was smashed into a grievously injured state in an instant!
The creature let out a miserable scream, trying to解除 the summoning and escape—but once caught by the Sin-Binding Chain, escape was impossible.
In the blink of an eye, even its soul was sealed into the Domain of Sin.
As for its physical body—
It was crushed into pieces, flesh exploding, blood splattering everywhere!
As for Shimura Danzo himself—
Qianyu's Ten-Bind Sin-Extinguishing Sword pierced straight through him without hesitation!
Karmic flames like molten hellfire and lightning like divine punishment erupted simultaneously!
Before Danzo—or anyone else—could even react—
BOOM!
Danzo stared blankly at his own body as his chest exploded open, forming a massive bloody hole.
He died in a horrifying state.
"What?!"
Hatake Kakashi and all the ninjas on both sides were struck dumb, their souls nearly leaving their bodies!
Yet Qianyu only sneered in disdain.
"Stop pretending."
"Come out, Shimura Danzo."
Everyone was utterly stunned.
They had just witnessed Danzo being brutally killed—why would Lord Qianyu say such a thing?!
Was it genjutsu?
No—impossible.
Kakashi also possessed the Sharingan. He could clearly sense that what just happened was not an illusion.
Then what was it…?
The next instant, before everyone's bulging eyes—
Shimura Danzo reappeared.
He stood there calmly, as if he had descended out of thin air—
Or as if he had never moved at all.
As though nothing had happened.
Qianyu naturally understood.
This was Danzo's true final trump card—the forbidden Uchiha technique—
Izanagi!
Qianyu had long suspected that Danzo did not obtain Izanagi only after the Uchiha Massacre.
Because within the Uchiha clan itself, no one truly possessed this technique anymore.
Now that Qianyu was the head of the Konoha Police Force—second only to the clan head—he had read through the clan's secret scrolls.
They only contained records of Izanagi.
There were no methods to actually use it.
In the original canon, even Uchiha Itachi stated that Izanagi had been abused during the Warring States Era, leading to disastrous consequences—after which it was banned and gradually lost to history.
In other words—
This technique had already been lost within the Uchiha clan.
The most likely people who still understood it were only two:
Senju Tobirama
and
Orochimaru
Now that Danzo used Izanagi, it perfectly confirmed Qianyu's suspicions.
Danzo's Izanagi came either from Tobirama's research—or, more likely, from Orochimaru.
Danzo frowned deeply.
He hadn't expected Uchiha Qianyu to see through his ultimate trump card.
"You… know this forbidden technique?!"
Qianyu replied coldly.
"Izanagi."
"Shimura Danzo—using my Uchiha clan's forbidden technique against me?"
The name itself didn't shock Kakashi and the others—they had never even heard of it.
Danzo fell silent.
"Uchiha Qianyu… it seems I truly underestimated you."
"To think that even a forbidden art already lost within the Uchiha clan—you still know its secrets."
He slowly removed the bandages on his arm.
Revealing the Hashirama-cell Wood Release arm—
And along with it—
Five grotesque, blood-red Sharingan, slowly rotating!
Everyone felt their scalps go numb.
"That… that is…"
"Sharingan?!"
Kakashi, Akimichi Shikaku, and the others were both horrified and disgusted—nearly vomiting.
"That bastard Danzo… how many filthy deeds did he commit to obtain such disgusting power?!"
Danzo calmly observed Qianyu.
"These were all taken from the corpses of Uchiha clan members."
"Seeing this… you should be furious, shouldn't you?"
But Qianyu remained expressionless—and instead sneered.
"Only five?"
Danzo froze.
What…?
He had revealed the five Sharingan intending to provoke rage—
Yet Qianyu reacted as if it were nothing, even saying only five?!
Was this man completely devoid of humanity—like a demon?!
At that moment, the first Sharingan on Danzo's arm slowly closed.
Its light was extinguished forever.
"So… four left."
Danzo glanced at his arm.
"That means… about four minutes."
"For these four minutes, I can attack without any concern for consequences."
Izanagi was not a "resurrection per eye" technique.
It granted invincibility over a fixed duration.
During that time, dying any number of times was meaningless.
That was why Danzo didn't care about sacrifices once Izanagi was activated.
Danzo, along with the remaining four Impure World shinobi—
Hatake Sakumo, Uchiha Setsuna, and others—
All stood together, facing Qianyu.
He would gamble everything on these four minutes.
Clap!
"Wood Release: Violent Spear Trees!"
Danzo actually unleashed Wood Release first!
Countless massive wooden vines erupted violently from his right arm, shooting forward!
Kakashi and the others were stunned.
"That's… the First Hokage's—!"
BOOM!
Before the words even finished, the Wood Release assault slammed heavily into Qianyu's Susanoo.
Still—no damage.
Danzo sneered.
Suddenly—
Wooden vines burst forth from inside the ground beneath Susanoo, erupting upward!
Qianyu actually nodded slightly.
This Danzo was indeed smarter than the one he remembered.
In the original timeline, Danzo had never truly witnessed Susanoo—and even attempted absurd acts like stabbing it with a kunai.
But this Danzo had seen Shisui's Susanoo and had clearly prepared thoroughly.
Before Susanoo reaches its complete form with legs, it is not absolute defense.
The ground beneath it is indeed a weakness.
In canon, even Gaara once exploited this flaw to pull Madara out of Susanoo using sand.
Qianyu praised him silently—
But showed no mercy.
A Lightning Release: Pseudo-Dark Blade swept down.
All vines were annihilated instantly, exploding into splinters!
Then—
The Ten-Bind Sin-Extinguishing Sword descended toward Danzo!
Danzo knew he couldn't dodge.
So he didn't.
He sneered.
With Izanagi active, he knew he wouldn't die.
However—
The sword did not fall.
"Hm?!"
Danzo was startled.
Qianyu sneered mockingly.
"Shimura Danzo, since I know the secret of Izanagi…"
"Do you really think I'd waste time killing you over and over, watching you revive again and again?"
"You are far more naïve than I thought."
"Your Izanagi means nothing to me."
"Accept judgment."
"Magatsuhi no Kami!"
Danzo's face turned deathly pale.
"What—what are you doing?!"
Before he could react—
Qianyu's right Mangekyō Sharingan erupted with terrifying crimson light, completely enveloping Danzo and swallowing him whole!
The next instant—
Danzo was dragged into a living hell.
Endless crimson karmic flames consumed him completely!
Izanagi?
Meaningless.
