Chapter 920: The Five Kage's Siege?
Chapter 920: The Five Kage's Siege?
"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"
With his first move, Danzo unleashed his specialty, a Wind Release technique.
If the ninja world were to rank Wind Release users, he would undoubtedly be among the top five, making him genuinely formidable.
In the past, his strength had plummeted due to age-related limitations or disabilities.
But what about now?
One of his eyes was a Sharingan, and his hands and legs had been regenerated using Hashirama's cells, restoring his agility to its prime.
Note that this transformation was all thanks to the forbidden technique, 'Root Ghost Bud Technique.'
This technique was specifically designed for merging Bloodline Limits.
Danzo had Orochimaru's help in regenerating his limbs with Hashirama's cells, resulting in a massive boost to his combat prowess.
Furthermore, the vitality granted by Hashirama's cells not only restored his condition to that of his prime but even surpassed it, bringing his strength back to its peak, not to mention the 'cheat' he now possessed.
With his current power, he was undoubtedly a High Shadow Level combatant.
For this reason, despite knowing Sasuke's ill intentions towards him, Danzo felt no fear or worry; instead, he was ready to strike back at Sasuke's Sharingan.
With such formidable strength, how could he not have confidence?
Even Jiraiya, after their confrontation, felt immense pressure from Danzo.
Jiraiya's strength, derived from Mount Myoboku and Sage Mode, was formidable, but in his normal state, he was still a High Shadow Level ninja, albeit at the lower end.
Fortunately, Jiraiya's greatest advantage was his well-roundedness.
He had no weaknesses in ninjutsu, taijutsu, or genjutsu, and his solid foundation ensured he never appeared defeated.
Meanwhile, Kakashi and Shikamaru were also keeping a close eye on the others.
Like Shino and Darui, they wanted to prevent any potential attacks on their Kage.
This concern was not unfounded.
Given the chance, there would be no shortage of those eager to take Jiraiya down.
What difference did it make that they were allies?
Conflicting interests and personal grudges meant that opportunities would be seized for revenge.
However, if no such opportunity arose, they would not hesitate to put on a peaceful facade.
Kakashi had even drawn his 'White Fang,' making it clear that he would strike mercilessly if anyone dared to take advantage of the situation.
The others understood this, as they would do the same in his position.
Understanding was one thing, but given the chance, they would not hold back either.
As for Danzo and Sasuke, who had come to declare war but were drawn into battle without even speaking, they felt no surprise.
Without a fight, no one would take their declaration of war seriously.
For instance, a powerful warrior would not take a challenge from a weak child seriously; they would simply dismiss it with a smile.
But if a similarly powerful opponent issued a challenge, then it would be considered a formal declaration of war.
So, the two decided to demonstrate their strength before declaring war.
On both battlefields, neither A nor Jiraiya held back, unleashing their full power, perhaps aiming to overwhelm each other.
Sasuke, of course, could not endure this, and his three-tomoe Sharingan suddenly transformed into the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Mangekyo Sharingan!
In this state, Sasuke's abilities would undergo a qualitative improvement.
Instantly, he switched from being on the defensive against A to launching a counterattack.
"Chidori Spear!"
A blue beam of light as thick as an egg shot out.
If it had been the three-tomoe Sharingan instead of the Mangekyo, he might not have even been able to see A's position clearly.
Too fast!
While A's defense was not as formidable as his father, the Third Raikage's, his speed was even greater.
Ordinary ninjas would find it challenging to defend against this Raikage, let alone attack him, as they would struggle even to see his movements clearly.
Hence, Sasuke had been on the receiving end until he activated the Mangekyo Sharingan, allowing him to retaliate.
However, the once-invincible Chidori Spear slightly deviated upon hitting A, allowing him to escape being pierced.
Defensive Power!
A's Lightning Release Chakra Mode provided him with an armor-like layer, and his exceptionally toughened body, honed through rigorous training, enabled him to withstand the Chidori Spear.
If A had remained stationary, he would have been impaled.
But with A's incredible speed, the brief moment of contact was insufficient to penetrate his body.
However, even with his exceptional abilities, he had paid a price.
A pitch-black mark appeared on his chest.
Clearly, if he had been a fraction slower, he would have been done for.
"You... So, you have the Sharingan?"
As A was about to say something, he noticed the Sharingan in Sasuke's eyes and immediately understood how his opponent had managed to hit him during his high-speed movement.
The Sharingan!
It was no longer a rare power.
Even if the Uchiha in Konoha could keep it secret, there were still many Uchiha in the Heavenly Fortress Tower, not to mention Uchiha Mei, the Ultra Shadow-level powerhouse whose invincible prowess in the last great war had demonstrated the strength of the Sharingan.
Even without mentioning her, the recently emerged 'Moon Shadow Spring' also had a Sharingan user, making it clear to everyone.
With the Sharingan, one would be at least Shadow Level, and the Ultra Shadow Tier was not far off.
All the ninjas who knew about this power envied it to the point of jealousy, and they could also somewhat understand why the major ninja clans in Konoha Village targeted the Uchiha.
Too powerful!
Awakening the Sharingan was like cheating, leaving those who worked hard to improve their strength far behind. Who wouldn't target them?
It was also because of the aforementioned examples of the Sharingan that when A saw Sasuke's Sharingan, he immediately became vigilant and understood why his opponent had been able to capture Kirabi.
After awakening the Sharingan, one would gain two incredibly powerful abilities, equivalent to two S-rank techniques, and they could be used without hand seals, making it obvious how much they could enhance one's strength.
One-Hit Kill!
Without missing a beat, Sasuke unleashed a barrage of attacks.
If one didn't know the Sharingan's abilities, they could easily be defeated in their first encounter with it.
Therefore, A stopped his offensive, fearing an unexpected turn of events.
For a Shadow-level ninja, there were plenty of ways to protect oneself, and as long as one was cautious and avoided being overwhelmed by raw power, self-preservation was not difficult.
Just as A ceased his attack, Sasuke was about to speak.
"Yoton: Melting Monster Jutsu!"
A voice from behind alerted him to a deadly threat, and he instinctively dodged to the side.
Gurgle!
A stream of acidic liquid sprayed past, completely corroding the area where Sasuke had been standing, including the tables and chairs, and even the walls.
Even A, the Raikage, might have been hit if he hadn't been facing A Mei, who was casting the jutsu.
"Brat, it's time for the Shadows' hunt!"
A Mei smiled charmingly, but her actions were ruthless.
She wasn't going to give Sasuke a chance to speak.
After all, if you can fight, don't waste time talking.
Even though they were aware of the relationship between Akatsuki and the Sunlight Nation, they had to maintain a normal appearance.
Under normal circumstances, after observing the enemy's intelligence, it was indeed A Mei's turn as the Mizukage to step in and help.
After all, they were allies, and she couldn't blatantly let them off the hook.
At the same time, Yecang threw a fireball at Danzo.
This was also a way to send a message to Jiraiya.
Even if the Five Kage had internal conflicts and deep-seated hatred, they wouldn't allow Akatsuki to get away with their actions right in front of them.
The previous actions were for gathering intelligence and testing the waters, but now it was time to get serious.
Great Tree also rose into the air, his gaze fixed on the battlefield.
Given the chance, he would unleash a Dust Release jutsu to wipe out the area.
Dust Release!
The Bloodline Limit with unparalleled offensive power, if one were to be hit, even the strongest defense would crumble.
"I didn't come here to fight with you!"
Danzo sensed the danger and tried to negotiate.
But none of the Five Kage gave him any face.
What you can't get on the battlefield, you won't get in negotiations either.
They had an unspoken agreement.
Capture the enemy first, then talk.
Once the enemy was captured, whether it was for interrogation or as a bargaining chip, it would be a worthwhile move.
Yecang and A Mei's actions were in line with their established personas.
They didn't want their loyalties to be questioned.
"Attack!"
Great Tree shouted, and then clapped his hands.
A dazzling white light shone from his palms, but this action provoked universal anger.
