The Fourth Raikage, A, enveloped in lightning, galloped across the battlefield like a streak of lightning!
The Third Tsuchikage, Onoki, solidified dust in his hands, instantly dissolving half a city!
The Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, brought his hands together, and towering tidal waves rose behind him!
The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, raised his hands, and the earth vibrated violently, shattering into a sand sea!
Hatake Kakashi's Raikiri roared in his hand! Might Guy's body was already emitting red steam!!
Then...
Thump!
The exhausted Fifth Hokage, Jiraiya, also woke up from his daze...
Wild winds roared, and the earth sank.
The crimson earth was covered with the corpses of ninjas from the Five Great Nations!
The Fourth Raikage lost an arm, his eyes wide in death!
Hatake Kakashi had been dead for a long time, his corpse almost shattered!
The Third Tsuchikage had lost more than half his body, his bones gone!
Might Guy lay on the ground like a burnt piece of charcoal, his body covered in red light!
The Fifth Kazekage, Gaara, who had long lost his Tailed Beast, had completely lost his breath!
And the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, was having his Tailed Beast extracted from his body; he had already entered the final countdown of his life!
Jiraiya half-knelt on the ground, and mournful cries of pain constantly came from his ears!
The forces of the Five Great Hidden Villages were almost completely annihilated here!
Boundless rage began to spread in Jiraiya's chest, and the pain tormented him to the point of wanting to die!
He knew that the person who orchestrated all of this before his eyes was...
"Naruto—!"
Six months ago.
Limitless and Konan flew at supersonic speed, breaking through the borders of the Land of Fire at its cloud's edge.
At midnight, under the cover of night, they descended into the Leaf Village and once again arrived at Danzo Shimura's Root base, passing through the perception barrier with a secret key obtained from Hoshigaki Kisame.
Leaf Village outskirts, sewage treatment plant, one hundred meters underground.
Danzo Shimura's eyes flashed with a dangerous light. The Root ninjas around him quickly pulled out their weapons, and assumed a fighting stance according to his will.
Danzo stared at Limitless's eyes, asking in an unyielding tone, "Where did you get this information?! Don't try to deceive me! You absolutely don't want to know what I'll do when I get angry!"
Limitless watched the four Root ninjas slowly raise their muzzles, and he slammed a dark staff into the ground. The magnetic force of his "Magnetic Release" was instantly injected into the ground!
Immediately after, the surrounding ninjas discovered in horror that all the iron weapons in their hands had detached themselves and were powerfully stuck to the ground by magnetic force!
At this moment, Limitless calmly spoke, "Lord Danzo, please correct your attitude. One should act like someone in need of help. If you continue to use these childish tactics on us, we will truly get angry."
Danzo fell silent. No emotional changes could be seen in his eyes; no one knew what he was thinking.
But after a moment, Danzo lightly exhaled, and the magnetic field around him eased. Those Root ninjas surrounding him slowly retreated back into the shadows.
Then, Danzo spoke slowly, "Sorry, I've encountered some unpleasant things today. I hope you don't mind."
Limitless's appearance was extremely deceptive, and Danzo had no idea how many times he had forgotten. The opponent was not some naive kid who had just arrived, but truly a big shot who was stirring up trouble in this ninja world!
Seeing this, Limitless also released the magnetic force, then smiled and said, "It's alright, we forgive you. How have you considered our transaction?"
Danzo, now calm, spoke quietly, "Before that, I must know clearly where you obtained this information... Please, you must tell me."
"Heh heh, Lord Danzo looks so desperate to die, but he can still endure it. How interesting," Limitless chuckled twice, then continued, "But this isn't something worth keeping secret. What you know is that arm was made for you by Orochimaru. And I just happened to have a very satisfactory transaction with Orochimaru before."
Orochimaru!
Danzo's eyes narrowed. Indeed, the most likely person to have leaked his mastery of Izanagi was his long-time collaborator, Orochimaru!
Limitless continued, "Alright, Lord Danzo, I've told you what you want to know. Now tell me your thoughts. This transaction seems quite reasonable to me."
Reasonable?
Danzo didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "This is a secret forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan. Not to mention whether your chips are enough, but in this ninja world, no one else besides me has mastered this secret technique. What makes you think I would give it to you?"
Limitless chuckled softly. "Lord Danzo, I hope you don't misunderstand. You are not the only one who knows this secret technique."
Danzo's eyes instantly changed. Izanagi could be used by sacrificing a single Sharingan to turn events that occurred for a short period of time into something that never happened, choosing only to make beneficial events a reality.
Simply put, it was exchanging a single Sharingan for varying minutes of invincibility!
This secret technique, combined with his countless Sharingan grafted onto his arm, was what he had painstakingly obtained. This was his greatest and final trump card. He didn't believe anyone else knew this secret technique!
Limitless looked at Danzo's disbelieving expression and continued, "You should have already met Uchiha Madara. He has also mastered this secret technique. Uchiha Madara, who awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan, must have also brought the Uchiha clan's secret scrolls with him, as well as Orochimaru. His obsession with the Hokage position, and your obsession, are the same. This secret technique that you can obtain, Orochimaru can also obtain, Lord Danzo, this secret technique is not unique to you."
As Limitless finished speaking, Danzo's brows furrowed. Uchiha Madara, Uchiha Obito, and Orochimaru...
They indeed might have this secret technique in their hands. Could he truly be the only one who possessed Izanagi?
But thinking of this, Danzo retorted, "Since they all have this secret technique in their hands, then please go and trade with them."
Limitless shook his head. "Lord Danzo, first listen to my chips. I guarantee you will absolutely not be able to refuse."
Limitless's words indeed aroused Danzo's curiosity. He wanted to see what the other party had prepared to give him such confidence. So he said, "Since that's the case, then I'll listen attentively."
Limitless cleared his throat, then slowly said, "For Lord Danzo, becoming the Hokage is your ultimate goal. And the only way to achieve that goal now is to become a war hero! Therefore, my chip is... a thousand lives of Leaf ninjas! After the war begins, I will send these people to you, and they will be enough for you to gain the merits to become a war hero."
When Danzo heard this, his heart indeed skipped a beat. Innumerable scenarios instantly appeared in his mind, making him a hero who saved the Leaf Village!
But!
It wasn't enough! He still wanted more!
But Limitless, seeing the greed in his eyes, spoke again before he could say anything. "Moreover, if you refuse, I will reveal our entire transaction to the Leaf Village! Even if you can somehow muddle through in the end, Jiraiya will definitely use this opportunity to nail you to the village, making it impossible for you to ever step onto the battlefield and become a war hero! The rest of your life can only be spent buried in the dirt, like a silent, anonymous Root ninja! Lord Danzo, how do you like my chips?"
The whirlpool...
Danzo's mind instantly calmed down. He nodded, then said, "It seems I can't..." His words were unfinished.
Result!
Clang!
With the blessing of Ido's eyes, Limitless's Magnetic Release instantly pulled up the iron plates beneath Danzo's feet, blocking Danzo's vision!
Limitless's response instantly startled Danzo. He had intelligence on Obito's Sharingan, but he actually knew about it too!
Seeing Danzo make a move, those Root ninjas in the shadows also jumped out and attacked Limitless and Konan!
But at this moment, Limitless's black pupils on his forehead instantly emitted black light!
With Kurama's chakra, Limitless's Magnetic Release was instantly pushed to its limit!
Limitless opened his arms and let out a wild laugh!
Magnetic Release Chakra burst forth!
The entire sewage treatment plant instantly vibrated! Afterwards, large amounts of pipes, barbed wire, steel plates, and various large machines made of metal were all violently torn apart! Then, a steel tornado formed in Limitless's four-week rampage, directly crushing the Root ninjas who rushed forward into pieces!
The steel pipes were torn apart, and a large amount of sewage gushed out. Konan also borrowed Kurama's chakra in her innate ten-tails, then violently brought her hands together with a clap, "Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!"
The gushing water pillars instantly transformed into dozens of slender water dragons, wildly attacking everything around them!
The steel tornado wrapped everything inside it and tore it into pieces!
The angry roar of destruction continuously shattered the surrounding walls. Large amounts of rocks fell from the sky, and huge cracks appeared in the Root base!!!
Danzo's face turned livid. He knew he had lost. Limitless still had his complete Tailed Beast Transformation. He would definitely use Izanagi until the very end of the battle. But even so, the outcome was likely that he would expend a large number of Sharingan, and then be exposed by the other party, allowing Jiraiya to suppress him in the village!
After weighing the pros and cons, amidst Limitless's wild laughter, Danzo slowly covered his eyes again, then loudly shouted, "Enough! I agree to your transaction!"
Limitless silently exhaled. This was a complete turning of tables. Then he nodded at Konan and said, "That's it."
Konan heard this and immediately released her Water Release. The water dragons reverted to sewage and scattered. Limitless also stopped his Magnetic Release, and large amounts of metal fragments fell from the sky like rain, crashing onto the ground and into the puddles.
"Lord Danzo, I am very happy to make another transaction with you, but given your past credibility..." Limitless's lips curled up. "This time, you must first hand over Izanagi, otherwise, our transaction will turn to the other path I described to you!?"
Danzo's face darkened. He said unwillingly, "Then how can I be sure you'll abide by the agreement!?"
Limitless smiled faintly. "Because Naruto never lies."
At least, he hasn't been caught lying yet.
