Danzō's pupils constricted.
Uchiha Chisen was too fast. The scorching heat from the magma arm, which was now within inches of him, made Danzō's eyes sting and his facial skin feel hot.
The strong smell of sulfur also flooded his nostrils, and the sense of alarm and the threat of death grew more intense in his heart.
If he were touched...
He would die!!!
Danzō abandoned all pretense of composure. His movement to dodge backward was quite clumsy, almost like a tumbleweed, as he rolled several times to avoid the attack.
"Lord Danzō!!!" But a cry from a Root ninja made Danzō realize he hadn't completely evaded the attack.
"Hiss—"
The sharp pain from his left ear made Danzō gasp. He felt like he could smell burnt meat.
He quickly touched his left ear and found it was gone!
As he hastily looked up, he saw Uchiha Chisen had broken free from the encirclement. He pushed off the ground and leaped high into the air.
His right arm, flowing with magma, suddenly began to visibly swell.
It was like a live volcano accumulating terrifying power.
"Rookie, get back."
The Anbu ninja responsible for monitoring the jinchūriki couldn't hold back any longer upon seeing this. With the fastest speed of his life, he scooped up Naruto, attempting to distance them from this dangerous situation.
Izumi's panicked eyes immediately turned scarlet. Smelling the danger, she activated her Sharingan, which she had awakened at the age of five out of grief after witnessing her father's death at the hands of the Nine-Tails.
Furthermore, this was also a Three-Tomoe Sharingan! (Itachi Shinden/Original TV series both depict it as Three-Tomoe!)
The spinning tomoe rapidly consumed her chakra, instantly paling her small face, but it also unleashed an unprecedented level of dōjutsu power.
However, she used this power to dodge.
Izumi believed that Senior Chisen wouldn't have told her to get away for no reason.
She chose to trust Senior Chisen!
Meanwhile, the two Root ninjas below them swiftly formed hand seals in unison.
"Release! Water Colliding Wave Technique!" x2
Two powerful streams of water surged towards Uchiha Chisen above.
"Release! Lava Release: Great Fire Eruption."
His right arm, having swollen to be larger than his entire body, slammed downward. The magma, transformed from chakra, erupted instantly, forming a giant magma fist, impossibly large like a volcanic eruption, and plummeted directly below!
—BOOM!!!
The fierce clash between Lava Release and Water Release stirred up waves of scalding steam, and incredibly pungent, toxic gases began to spread wildly.
Although Uchiha Chisen's "Lava Release" was very similar to Rōshi of Stone Village's "Lava Release," both being magma-based Lava Release.
Uchiha Chisen's "Lava Release," however, possessed a characteristic that Rōshi lacked—an impact force akin to a volcanic eruption!
Under the shocked gaze of the two Root ninjas, the giant magma fist evaporated the water jutsu and continued to crush downward!
"Protect Lord Danzō!"
—BOOM!!!
One Root ninja pulled Danzō and quickly dodged, but the other ninja was half a step too late. As the magma fist heavily impacted the ground, the splashing magma splattered over half of his body.
"Ahhhhhhh!!!!" The Root ninja's piercing scream drew everyone's attention to him.
Half of his body seemed to have been erased from existence.
The parts of his body splashed by the magma were actually on fire!
A huge crater also appeared on the ground.
It looked like a pool of lava emitting heat waves on the street!
"Is this... Uchiha Chisen, the 'Lava Release Ferocious Beast,' the dual-Kekkei Genkai genius of the Uchiha Clan whose fame in the Third Shinobi World War almost matched that of Uchiha Shisui?"
The Anbu ninja holding Naruto coughed violently from the smell of sulfur, his body covered in cold sweat.
Fortunately...
He had been very rational from the start and chose not to engage in a physical conflict with the opponent.
Otherwise...
He didn't dare to guarantee he could retreat unscathed.
"U! CHI! HA! CHISEN!" Danzō's old face had become so grim it looked like it could drip black water.
He clutched the bandages on his face tightly with one hand.
The veins on the back of his hand bulged.
Danzō wasn't afraid of Uchiha Chisen. This inherently evil Uchiha brat was, in the end, just a greenhorn who had only recently debuted.
Danzō was currently hesitating whether to reveal the trump card of his Sharingan in front of everyone.
Damn it…
If only I had brought more Root guards with me today.
Then I wouldn't have to hesitate.
Uchiha Chisen's body landed on the lava, its temperature sufficient to vaporize human flesh. He was completely unaffected by the intense heat, with molten rock constantly dripping from his body, scorching shallow pits that smoked faintly on the ground.
…
"Hm?"
Far away in the Hokage's office, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly sensed unusual activity outside.
Just as he turned his head, he saw a carrier pigeon fly in.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze sharpened.
He remembered very clearly that the summoning beast of the Anbu ninja he'd sent to observe and protect Naruto was a carrier pigeon!
"Hokage-sama! Hokage-sama!"
The carrier pigeon spoke in a piercing voice, "It's bad! Uchiha Chisen and Shimura Danzo have started fighting! The jinchūriki, Uzumaki Naruto, has also been caught in the crossfire!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen shot to his feet.
"Danzō!" The solemn expression on his face instantly turned grim, and he gritted his teeth, "Didn't I just tell him not to provoke that child Chisen!"
Based on his understanding of Danzō, this was most likely a conflict initiated by Danzō himself!
Danzō already harbored deep resentment towards the Uchiha Clan. Upon encountering Uchiha Chisen, who was quite active in the village…
There was no telling what extreme actions Danzō might take.
However.
When Sarutobi Hiruzen recalled Uchiha Chisen's Absolute Justice, his near-perfect case-solving rate, and his eyes that could seemingly see through everyone…
He felt a moment of hesitation.
This…
No!
Sarutobi Hiruzen shook off the strange thoughts. The most crucial thing now was to immediately go and stop the conflict.
Otherwise, the range of Chisen's Lava Release Kekkei Genkai ninjutsu was no joke!
He clearly remembered the terrifying performance that child displayed during the Third Shinobi World War.
That Lava Release, possessing power akin to a volcanic eruption…
It was undoubtedly one of the most dangerous powers in the ninja world!
"Take me there!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen first addressed the carrier pigeon, then suddenly called out, "Kakashi!"
Whoosh!
A figure instantly appeared before Sarutobi Hiruzen.
Sarutobi Hiruzen commanded in a deep voice, "Immediately lead three Anbu squads and follow me to stop this conflict!"
"Yes, Hokage-sama."
Kakashi nodded.
…
Meanwhile.
Squelch!!! — As the molten red arm easily pierced through the chest of the second Root ninja.
A sharp whistling sound instantly arrived, tearing the Root ninja's body in half.
But before the blood could splatter onto Uchiha Chisen, it was already vaporized by the intense heat of the lava.
The Wind Release: Wind Blade Technique, capable of slicing through steel, continued its trajectory unabated, leaving a gash over ten centimeters deep on Uchiha Chisen's chest.
However, the gash was immediately filled by the surging lava around it.
"What exactly is his Lava Release…"
Danzō's expression was extremely grim. He always felt that Uchiha Chisen's Lava Release had a sense of familiarity, similar to the Hōzuki Clan's Water Transformation Technique.
