Chapter 994: The First to Dare Fight Me Up Close!
"Looking at your expression, it seems you're surprised that I know so much about the Uchiha clan."
"Unlike you, who got lucky and became the disciple of the Second Hokage, eventually rising to a high position and now holding great power, I am a direct descendant of the Senju clan. There's an old saying in the ninja world, 'The one who knows you best is always your opponent.'
The Senju and Uchiha clans have been rivals for so long, and the Senju clan certainly has records of the Uchiha's various abilities.
Whether it's the Mangekyo Sharingan, Izanagi, or Izanami, I know and understand far more than you can imagine.
And having fought against Uchiha Madara, I find your use of the Sharingan rather shallow.
Whether it's the power of the Uchiha or the Senju clan, what you possess now is nothing but stolen power, unworthy of recognition."
As a contemporary of the Third Hokage and a long-serving ninja, Danzo couldn't tolerate being mocked by a junior like Night City.
Night City was Tsunade's disciple, and Tsunade was the Third Hokage's disciple. To be blunt, when Danzo became renowned in the ninja world, Night City was still a tadpole!
"Summoning Jutsu: Dream Mammoth!"
Danzo bit his finger and immediately summoned a colossal spirit beast resembling an elephant with an orange-red body.
The Dream Mammoth opened its massive mouth, using Wind Release to attract and devour all objects in front of it.
At the same moment, Danzo leaped onto the Dream Mammoth and performed the Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere technique.
The Dream Mammoth's powerful suction drew in the surrounding air, creating a vacuum zone in front of it.
In this vacuum environment, Danzo's A-rank Wind Release, enhanced by the Dream Mammoth's ability, reached the level of an S-rank ninja technique.
"Before you die, let me show you the true power of the Senju clan.
Unlike the meager power you gained through transplantation, this is the real Wood Release.
Wood Release: Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
As Night City formed hand seals with both hands, the ground around them began to shake violently. In the next second, thick plant vines burst from the ground, spreading in all directions and instantly growing into towering trees!
The massive Dream Mammoth, which had barely appeared minutes earlier, was quickly entangled by the thick vines, unable to struggle and dissipating into a white mist where it stood.
Compared to the bulky and cumbersome Dream Mammoth, Danzo was much more agile. He dodged the spreading vines, using Wind Release to cut through the massive vegetation he couldn't avoid.
But after a while, he realized that the vibrant Wood Release covered a vast area. Fighting by dodging everywhere would only deplete his chakra sooner.
Understanding this, Danzo stopped struggling and chose to be strangled by Night City's Wood Release, sacrificing one of his Sharingan eyes to use Izanagi. His resurrected body then rushed towards Night City at an astonishing speed.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"
Danzo drew a kunai and ran, infusing the blade with Wind Release chakra to increase its sharpness.
The Senju Clan was renowned for their abundant vitality and immense chakra reserves, especially Senju Yecheng, who, alongside Senju Hashirama, had awakened the Wood Release Kekkei Genkai.
Engaging in close combat with a Senju ninja who had awakened the Wood Release bloodline was undoubtedly foolish, as they could unleash massive amounts of chakra for wide-area attacks, and the regenerative nature of Wood Release would only exhaust the opponent.
Danzo did not believe his chakra reserves could rival that of a tailed beast, and even tailed beasts would be exhausted by Wood Release. He certainly wouldn't choose to sit idly and wait for death.
As Danzo rapidly approached Yecheng, he encountered wooden stakes that suddenly pierced through the ground, causing his death twice. This resulted in the two Rinnegan Sharingan in his arm closing their eyes permanently.
However, after using Izanagi several times, Danzo finally reached Yecheng, ready to strike with a kunai imbued with wind-attribute chakra.
To his surprise, Yecheng showed no hint of shock but instead grinned, revealing his white teeth, "After all these years, you're the first ninja who dares to engage in close combat with me."
Hearing Yecheng's words, Danzo's face also showed bewilderment. He had sacrificed several Sharingan and used Izanagi multiple times to create this opportunity, and now he had no choice but to act.
What if the young man before him was just bluffing? Danzo, with his years of experience in the ninja world, would not be fooled by such a petty trick.
Without hesitation, Danzo swung the kunai, enhanced with vacuum slash, towards Yecheng.
At the same moment, Yecheng, instead of dodging, unleashed a chaotic chakra surge from his back and clenched his fist to punch upwards.
In an instant, the punch, enhanced by Instant Blast, struck the kunai in Danzo's hand, shattering it like a toy. With Yecheng's current chakra reserves, even the Three-Tailed Isobu, known for its robust defense among the tailed beasts, would have wailed in pain for a long time after receiving such a blow.
"Boom—!"
With just one punch, the air in front of Yecheng was instantly cleared, and before his fist even made contact with Danzo's body, the powerful force had already shattered the kunai in Danzo's hand!
Danzo, who bore the brunt of the attack, had no room for struggle, and his body was instantly torn apart by the terrifying impact, reduced to pieces.
The punch's force continued unabated, carving a massive gorge several kilometers long into the ground.
Not only was the primeval forest created by Yecheng's Tree Summoning Jutsu destroyed, but the entire Root base was reduced to rubble by this single strike.
As debris rained down from the ceiling, a ray of light shone through the hole into the dimly lit Root base.
Root, established beneath the Hokage Tower, was meant to be the 'root' of Konoha, but at this moment, this so-called 'root' was uprooted by Yecheng.
The reason was simple: for the Konoha tree to continue growing vigorously, its rotten roots had to be completely cut off.
Otherwise, these 'roots' would only greedily absorb Konoha's nutrients without providing any value.
After enduring Yecheng's punch, Danzo was still not completely dead, which was indeed a testament to the power of Izanagi's self-hypnotic ability.
