Chapter 93: Everything You Have Now Belongs to Me!
Chapter 93: Everything You Have Now Belongs to Me!
As the sounds of battle gradually faded, a thick, bloody scent quickly permeated the entire base.
Yui Xuan Yue held a water whip in her right hand, tightly wrapping it around the neck of Aburame Shibi, a Konoha ninja with a unique body type. As he suffocated, her eyes fell on Danzo Shimura, now unprotected, and a faint smile curved her lips.
"Your men have all perished, yet you remain remarkably calm."
At these words, Danzo, his right arm concealed within his sleeve, maintained an indifferent expression, his gloomy old face unmoved. "To sacrifice themselves for Konoha is their honor."
In truth, he could have unsealed his right arm and joined the fight much earlier.
However, this time, their enemy was Yui Xuan Yue, who had once confronted the First Five Kage.
The number of ninjas in the Root base was simply too small.
Danzo Shimura, well aware that these men would hardly make a difference in a real battle, did not hesitate to use them as expendable pawns, sacrificing their lives to wear down Yui Xuan Yue's chakra and stamina.
Not everyone possessed the unique body constitution of Senju Hashirama.
No matter how strong Yui Xuan Yue was, her chakra and stamina were finite.
By whittling them down, he increased his chances of victory in the upcoming confrontation.
As for what to do when all his men were dead?
Konoha had no shortage of talented individuals.
As long as he remained, Root would persist.
And when that time came, he, having absorbed all of Yui Xuan Yue's secrets, would forge an even more formidable Root, perhaps even reshaping the entirety of Konoha!
A dazzling light burst in Danzo's eyes, and he stared at Yui Xuan Yue with greed and ruthlessness. "Yui Xuan Yue, your pride will be your downfall. Konoha may have lost the First Hokage, but we remain formidable. Today, I, the elder, will take his place and bury you once more!"
"Bury me?" Yui Xuan Yue chuckled, as if she had heard the greatest joke. "I'm curious as to where your courage stems from."
Danzo let out a cold snort, choosing to remain silent.
His courage, of course, came from the two most powerful forces in the ninja world—the Wood Style and the Sharingan—both of which he now possessed.
What of Yui Xuan Yue? She had been defeated by the First Hokage, who had mastered the Wood Style.
Now, his right arm not only held the power of the Wood Style but also the Sharingan, and even the Mangekyo Sharingan!
Tick, tick...
The sound of blood droplets falling from the corpses, one after another, echoed through the empty Root base.
Perhaps it was for a few breaths, perhaps a dozen.
In the moment that the sound of falling droplets paused, Danzo swiftly formed the signs of the Monkey, Boar, and Sheep, and took the initiative. "Wind Release: Shuriken!"
A dozen shuriken transformed into giant, rapidly spinning fans under the infusion of Danzo's wind-style chakra, rushing towards Yui Xuan Yue.
"There's no need for petty tricks."
Without even glancing at the incoming shuriken, Yui Xuan Yue moved, turning into a fierce gust of wind. In the blink of an eye, she appeared before Danzo, her fist surging forward.
Bang!
Invisible waves of force rolled in every direction.
Danzo braced himself, using both hands to block the incoming punch.
Despite his efforts, he was still forced backward, his legs scraping long marks on the hard floor.
As Yui Xuan Yue prepared to strike again, Danzo quickly opened his mouth, shooting forth two thin needles forged from wind-style chakra. They sped towards Yui Xuan Yue's eyes, mere inches away.
Hui Yin Xuan Yue tilted her head to the side, dodging the Wind Style fine needles, while simultaneously lashing out with her right foot like an axe, delivering a fierce kick.
Caught off guard, Danzo Shimura was sent flying backward. With a loud crash, he smashed into the thick wall behind him, creating a large hole and embedding himself deep within it.
Thick smoke and dust engulfed Danzo Shimura, obscuring him from view.
Taking advantage of this cover, Hui Yin Xuan Yue summoned a shadow clone.
"Is this how you plan to bury me?"
As the main body sank into the ground, the shadow clone spoke, not giving Danzo Shimura a moment's respite as it charged into the smoke and dust, striking while he was vulnerable.
"Wood Style: Raging Tree Fist!"
A giant tree suddenly burst out from the smoke, reaching toward Hui Yin Xuan Yue.
She swiftly retreated, chuckling. "Wood Style? Is that all you've got?"
"An imitation is still just an imitation. Compared to the Wood Style of Senju Hashirama, it falls far short."
Hui Yin Xuan Yue extended her right hand, and the sound of a thousand birds chirping filled the air.
As the Raging Tree Fist relentlessly pursued her, the Chidori instantly transformed into the Chidori Spear, splitting the giant tree in two.
If Danzo Shimura hadn't dodged in time, his right arm would have been severed as well.
Shred!
In the next moment, the lightning flashed again.
Before Danzo Shimura, who was clutching his right arm, could steady himself, Hui Yin Xuan Yue's shadow clone sprinted forward like a bolt of lightning. The Chidori Spear transformed back into the Chidori, and in the midst of Danzo Shimura's disbelief, panic, and despair, it pierced his heart.
"Your words don't seem to match your strength."
Looking at Danzo Shimura, who was kneeling before her and spewing blood from his mouth, Hui Yin Xuan Yue leaned her head close to his ear and said indifferently.
The sound of a thousand birds chirping faded away.
Hui Yin Xuan Yue's shadow clone withdrew her right hand and took a step back.
Thud!
Danzo Shimura fell to his knees.
"You... Konoha..."
He tried to say something, but he no longer had the strength. He futilely reached out with his left hand, trying to grasp at Hui Yin Xuan Yue, but it fell limp midway.
"It's over."
Watching Danzo Shimura's life slowly ebb away, Hui Yin Xuan Yue calmly declared, "It's over." Then, lifting her head to look at the sky, she added, "Dragonfly, I have avenged you," before turning to leave the Root base.
However, the next second, a familiar voice sounded behind her.
"Yes, it's over."
Hui Yin Xuan Yue's "face changed," and she quickly turned around, but before she could, an elderly hand reached out and pressed against her shoulder.
Self-Immolation Curse Seal!
Black, floral-patterned curse seals rapidly spread from where Hui Yin Xuan Yue was touched on her shoulder, invading her entire body.
Hui Yin Xuan Yue felt her body go numb, and she was unable to move.
"How...?"
Hui Yin Xuan Yue had just opened her mouth to speak when the unharmed Danzo Shimura walked up behind her. With a cold gaze, he said, "I told you, I will bury you today."
A victorious smile appeared on Danzo Shimura's face as he concluded, "Hui Yin Xuan Yue, everything you have now belongs to me!"
The next second, the two of them stared into each other's eyes.
The Rinnegan activated.
"Transcendence of the Heavenly Hand!"
