Chapter 993: Night City's Bloody Rampage Against the Konoha Elders
Chapter 993: Night City's Bloody Rampage Against the Konoha Elders
Danzo Shimura, that old scoundrel, was a necessary target for elimination. As for Torune Aburame and Homura Mitokado, the advisors, they seemed to have the village's best interests at heart, but they weren't any better.
If not for their constant indulgence of Danzo, many tragedies could have been avoided. These two old fools weren't innocent either, and Night City had no intention of letting them off the hook.
Night City was well aware that even after Tsunade successfully became the Fifth Hokage, she had to deal with the constraints of the Konoha elders, often getting infuriated by their actions.
Now that Night City was Tsunade's disciple, he wouldn't allow such a situation to continue.
With his teacher Tsunade's leadership, Konoha should be under her command. When did a bunch of old men start meddling and questioning who the Hokage should be?
When Night City confronted Danzo, he didn't bother concealing his identity or his intentions.
"Senju Night City, are you planning to betray Konoha?"
When Night City approached Torune and Homura, their expressions were filled with shock. They never expected Night City to have the audacity to directly assassinate them, two of Konoha's high-ranking advisors.
"Betray Konoha? Since when did you old fools start representing the entire village?
Even without you, Konoha would still stand strong. If that's the case, you should act more selflessly and let yourselves become nourishment for the village, allowing Konoha to grow even stronger."
Hearing Night City's fearless words, Torune and Homura were enraged, their mouths twitching as they responded, "Are you blaming us for our past treatment of the Senju and Uzumaki clans?
But everything we did was for Konoha's benefit.
The First Hokage and our teacher, the Second Hokage, were both from the Senju clan. When Sarutobi became the Third Hokage, if he didn't suppress the Senju clan, how could he have secured his position as Hokage..."
Before Torune could finish, Night City interrupted, "All for Konoha, what a grand excuse!
The Senju and Uchiha clans, with their remarkable contributions to the founding of Konoha, held high prestige and acted with impunity.
But no matter how arrogant they were, could they compare to the arrogance of you elders now? Nowadays, you few old men control almost everything in Konoha, right? I won't go into detail about your behind-the-scenes schemes, but to use your own words, by eliminating you, I'm also doing it for Konoha!"
Torune and Homura, as disciples of the Second Hokage, Sarutobi, did possess considerable strength, but they were no match for the Third Hokage or Danzo.
Due to their advanced age, they were swiftly defeated by Night City.
Until their dying breath, they never imagined they would meet their end at the hands of a Konoha ninja, and one from the Senju clan, no less.
After disposing of Torune and Homura, Night City headed to the Root base to kill Danzo.
Even though the location of the Root base was highly classified, even among Konoha ninjas, it posed no challenge for Night City with his exceptional sensory abilities.
The Root ninjas were completely under Danzo's command and wouldn't even care if the Hokage himself opposed them. Night City saw this as one of the signs of Konoha's decay.
When Night City invaded the Root base, the ninjas there didn't bother to identify him; they immediately attacked, intending to kill him.
Night City showed no mercy to Danzo's lackeys. With swift and precise movements, he slashed his way through the base with his long sword, from the entrance to the core.
"Senju Yecheng, have you gone mad? Do you know what you're doing?!"
After eliminating the shadow clone of Danzo, the real Danzo knew he could no longer hide. He slowly emerged from the shadows.
"Of course, I know what I'm doing. Are you going to spout the same nonsense as Torune Koharu and Mito Monen, claiming it's all for the sake of Konoha?"
If their actions had done anything for Konoha, it was only because of their stubbornness and incompetence. As for you, old dog, you're nothing but a hypocrite.
Driven by your selfish desire to become the Hokage, you cloak yourself in the guise of acting for Konoha's sake.
Putting aside everything else, the mere fact that you've transplanted Hashirama's cells into your arm is enough to condemn you to death a thousand times over!"
Upon learning that Yecheng had eliminated Torune Koharu and Mito Monen before coming here, Danzo stood frozen in shock.
With Koharu and Monen gone, Danzo knew that Yecheng wouldn't let him off easily. Slowly, he began to unravel the bandages around his arm and head.
When Yecheng saw the eleven tomoe Rinnegan in Danzo's eyes, he wasn't the least bit surprised. As he sensed Danzo gathering chakra in his right eye, preparing to use the Mangekyo Sharingan technique, 'Izanagi,' Yecheng reacted immediately.
"Taiyoken!"
Blinding light erupted from Yecheng, so intense that even the strongest Sharingan eyes struggled to withstand it.
The light was blinding, and the impact of the attack was devastating.
The next moment, Danzo, who had intended to use his most powerful genjutsu on Yecheng without any sign of struggle, felt his titanium dog eyes almost blinded by the intense light. As he covered his right eye and let out a painful cry, Yecheng's figure vanished from his original position.
Yecheng's long sword, which had been planted in the ground, was pulled out, and his figure reappeared behind Danzo. With a swift motion, he swung the sword, beheading Danzo.
However, just as Danzo's head flew into the air and his headless body fell to the ground, Yecheng keenly sensed a threat from the side.
"Yashin-ryu, Fourth Form - Break Through the Air!"
The sword energy, swirling like a spiral, surged forward and collided with Danzo's 'Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere.' The two powerful air currents clashed, leaving deep scratches on the surrounding ground and walls.
"One of the Uchiha clan's ultimate eye techniques, Izanagi? I wonder how long your Sharingan will allow you to survive against my skills."
The beheaded Danzo, like a fleeting illusion, dissipated into nothingness. Not far away, the unharmed Danzo emerged, covering his right eye, which had not yet fully recovered, with a grim expression.
"You even know about 'Izanagi'..."
The Sharingan on his arm and the Izanagi technique were Danzo's secret weapons. Especially the Izanagi technique, which he had learned from the Uchiha clan's ancestral land during their destruction, was something he had only recently discovered.
He had planned to catch Yecheng off guard using 'Izanagi,' but it seemed that his opponent was well-informed about the Uchiha clan's ultimate eye techniques.
