Chapter 81 - Chapter 82: Minato VS. Danzo

Konoha's meeting room, the eye of the Chakra storm.

"You are the ones who are wrong! Konoha is wrong!"

Danzo's roar, accompanied by a violent burst of Chakra, caused the bandages on his right arm to shred, revealing a pale, twisted Hashirama cells arm. Several Sharingan embedded in it were simultaneously exposed, their crimson glow staining the entire meeting room blood-red.

"Be careful!" Minato instantly threw three Flying Thunder God Kunai, embedding them in the wall. The Yellow Flash had already blocked in front of the two elderly, less powerful Advisor.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"

Boom!

The high-pressure wind blast directly shattered the meeting table, sending wood splinters and documents flying like a blizzard.

Even with Minato's protection, Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado were knocked over by the shockwave of the explosion. Everyone at the meeting was astonished, never expecting the opponent to be so insane.

"That's the Sharingan!" Fugaku saw the Sharingan on Danzo's arm and instantly widened his eyes. His dark eyes quickly transformed into the blood-red three-tomoe Sharingan.

"Danzo, how many of my Uchiha Clan comrades have you harmed?!" Fugaku roared!

"Danzō, you!" The Third Hokage's eyes widened. He hadn't expected the other party's right arm to be perfectly intact, let alone embedded with so many Sharingan.

And the appearance of that arm, others might not know, but how could he not?

That was definitely an arm created using Lord Hashirama cells! How many things had Danzo secretly done during his tenure that he didn't know about?!

"You all forced me to do this!" Danzo showed no remorse. He roared, forming hand signs again.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"

He exhaled several wind blades in one breath, attacking randomly, especially towards the direction where the three Flying Thunder God Kunai were located!

Fortunately, no one present was an ordinary person. Facing such an attack, although surprised by the opponent's power, they were still able to easily dodge.

The Vacuum Serial Waves easily pierced through the entire Hokage Building.

Then, the entire Hokage Building directly collapsed!

Minato suddenly vanished from Danzo's sight at this moment.

Danzo had already pulled back the bandage from his right eye, revealing a three-tomoe Sharingan. The moment he saw Minato disappear, he was greatly shocked. He had already destroyed those three Flying Thunder God Kunai.

Are there still Flying Thunder God marks in this room?

The next moment, as he was still in shock, he felt an intense pain and impact from behind.

"Flying Thunder God: Rasengan!"

Minato had indeed appeared behind Danzo, and the Rasengan condensed in his hand was unhesitatingly slammed into Danzo's heart.

"Danzō!" The Third Hokage couldn't help but shout upon seeing this scene. The two Advisors beside him also painfully closed their eyes.

The surrounding Jonin also watched this scene, feeling a bit unreal. Had Danzo really—ended like this?

From the two Wind Release Ninjutsu he had just used, and the amount of Chakra he had unleashed, it was clear that his strength was not weak. Yet, he couldn't last two moves against Minato.

At this moment, they were once again shocked by Minato's strength.

Minato looked at the fallen Danzo. He knew that Danzo definitely knew how to use the Flying Thunder God Technique, so the three Flying Thunder God Kunai he threw were naturally just to attract the other party's attention.

From the very beginning, he had hidden a Flying Thunder God Ninjutsu formula at Danzo's position.

If Danzo had surrendered, he wouldn't have used it, but he hadn't expected the other party to actually attack everyone in broad daylight.

However, everything was over.

However, the next moment.

"Minato, watch out!!" Takuno's voice reached Minato's ears.

"What?" Minato didn't react for a moment. Danzo was dead; would there be any of his loyal followers among the Jonin in the meeting who would launch an attack?

"Wood Release: Bursting Spear Tree!"

Minato never expected that Danzo, who had supposedly fallen, would once again appear alive in front of him. Then, countless sharp spears made of wood surged from his right arm.

This attack came so swiftly, and coupled with Minato's complete disbelief that the opponent could revive, it was a perfect strike.

This spear successfully hit Minato.

The next moment, Minato's figure vanished from that spot, flashing to a Flying Thunder God Kunai that had fallen nearby, clutching his bleeding abdomen.

"Hokage-sama!" Many Jonin were also greatly shocked at this moment, shouting.

It wasn't that they didn't want to help, but they also thought it was over just now.

They never expected Minato to be injured, and what made them even more disbelieving was: they clearly saw Danzo hit by the Rasengan, so why was he still alive?!

Now, they also reacted, and countless Ninjutsu immediately surged towards Danzo.

Fire Release, Water Release, and so on, a diverse array.

And the most scorching Fire Release was undoubtedly the work of Fugaku. He stared at the area covered by Ninjutsu, his three-tomoe Sharingan wide open, because he had a guess in his heart when he saw Danzo revive.

"Everyone, be careful, Danzō isn't dead yet!" Fugaku's pupils contracted at this moment as he shouted loudly.

Immediately, many Jonin were once again shocked. Covered simultaneously by the Ninjutsu of dozens of them, he still wasn't dead?

Was this Danzo an illusion? When were they hit by an illusion?

As they pondered, several shuriken with Wind Release cutting properties shot towards everyone.

"Summoning: Baku!"

From within the smoke caused by the Ninjutsu, Danzo used the Summoning Jutsu to summon the giant summoned beast, Baku. With its assistance, he exhaled countless Wind Release-infused shuriken, wrapping around several shuriken in his hand.

Then, he no longer cared who was outside. For him now, everyone outside—was his enemy!

"Wind Release: Shuriken!"

The space through which those shuriken passed seemed slightly warped; that was the distortion of air caused by the cutting properties of the Wind Release.

And the Jonin, alerted by Fugaku, also reacted. Although they didn't know what kind of attack the opponent was using, defending with Ninjutsu would certainly be fine..

Several Earth Release: Earth-Style Walls rose.

However, to their surprise, the Earth-Style Wall couldn't stop those shuriken. They pierced through the Earth Release, successfully hitting several people.

Although no casualties were caused, the power once again greatly astonished everyone.

The opponent rarely made a move in their minds. They had thought that, like the two Advisors, as he aged, his once great strength would diminish.

Danzo, was he still this strong now?

Fugaku watched this scene, his three-tomoe Sharingan also contracting. He never doubted the opponent's strength.

Because Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi were both disciples of the Second Hokage. Unlike the two Advisors who later moved behind the scenes and no longer fought, both of them could be said to have fought their way out of the First Great Ninja War!

Their strength was by no means ordinary!

"Clan Head Fugaku, the Ninjutsu that allows him to revive should be related to the Sharingan, right?" At this moment, Minato had already finished bandaging his wound and came to Fugaku's side, asking.

While using the Flying Thunder God Technique to dodge, he seemed to notice one of the Sharingan on the opponent's arm close.

He remembered that eye was definitely open at first.

"Yes, Hokage-sama, if I'm not mistaken, that should be the forbidden Ninjutsu of the Sharingan, Izanagi!" Fugaku said in a deep voice. He also hadn't expected the opponent to know such Ninjutsu.

"Izanagi?" Minato frowned. He seemed to have seen such a term in very old records.

"That's right, its effect is to turn unfavorable events that happen to oneself within a certain period of time into events that never happened, only choosing favorable events to become reality. But the price of using Izanagi is the permanent blindness of one Sharingan." Fugaku said.

"So even very few of us in the Uchiha Clan know this Ninjutsu. I also don't know where Danzo learned it."

This ocular Ninjutsu was also a forbidden Ninjutsu in their Uchiha Clan, and very few people could even access it. How did Danzo obtain this ocular Ninjutsu?!

"I see." Minato nodded. Looking at Danzo, who, despite being powerful, had no easy way to break through the continuous attacks of many Jonin, he took a deep breath, and another specially made Kunai appeared in his hand.

"Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Technique!"

The special Kunai thrown by Minato transformed into countless streaks of light, shooting towards Danzo and his summoned beast.

After Minato made his move, the others stopped attacking, because it was Minato's time to shine.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Facing countless Kunai, Danzo directly exhaled a powerful gust of wind, changing the direction of all the Kunai, which then haphazardly stuck into the ground.

"Summoning Jutsu!"

At this moment, an enormous toad directly covered the giant Baku.

"Bunta, that guy is up to you." Minato said.

"Hmph, leave him to me!" Gamabunta said, then looked at the Baku beneath him, and began to condense Water Release in his mouth.

"Die, Minato!" Danzo roared at this moment.

He was already delirious. He knew that once he exposed the secret of his right arm, he would never have the chance to touch that position again, and the culprit for all of this was Minato!

At least, at least he had to kill him!

"Senpai Danzō, you have gone too far all along." Minato said.

Then, a Rasengan once again condensed in his hand, and he charged towards Danzo.

"It's useless, you can't kill me!" Danzo shouted, then formed hand signs.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"

Just as the massive wind sphere was about to engulf Minato, his figure vanished from that spot.

"Is it the Flying Thunder God Technique again?!" Danzo's eyes widened. This time, there shouldn't be any Flying Thunder God marks around him. He looked at the Kunai stuck in the ground and indeed found the other party's figure.

However, just as he was about to form hand signs, he found that the other party's figure once again disappeared from his sight.

At this moment, when he saw Minato again, the other party had already arrived in front of him.

"Rasengan!"

Minato showed no mercy, directly pressing the Rasengan in his hand onto Danzo's head.

The moment he used the Flying Thunder God Technique to face the Vacuum Great Sphere, he also embedded a special Kunai into the ground. After the Vacuum Great Sphere disappeared, he transferred back again.

A very simple principle, but it works!

Danzo's gaze was too focused on the other Flying Thunder God marks, and his vision was also obscured by the Vacuum Great Sphere, so he didn't notice the Flying Thunder God Kunai he had embedded beneath his feet.

"Ugh ah ah ah!!"

Danzo shrieked.

Minato, however, didn't stop. Several Flying Thunder God Kunai appeared in his hand again, and he embedded them in different positions on the ground.

After that, he quietly waited for Danzo's revival.

This time, with preparation, he could let Danzo experience what it meant to be the fastest in the ninja world, and his reaction speed to control that divine speed!

Just as Danzo revived and poked his head out, Minato's figure instantly vanished, and then another Rasengan was pressed onto the opponent's chest, giving the opponent no chance to attack.

Not even a chance to utter threats!

Minato watched this scene. After hearing about the effects of Izanagi, he understood.

Even if he carved a Flying Thunder God mark on the opponent, it might be useless, as it would disappear with the revival.

However, Izanagi's revival would only reset his own condition, and the location of appearance was not out of thin air, but a location where he had previously appeared.

Therefore, he had already placed Flying Thunder God Kunai at all locations where Danzo had appeared.

The moment Danzo revived, he could use the Flying Thunder God Technique to instantly eliminate the opponent!

The opponent's number of Sharingan was also running out!

Takuno's Shadow Clone also clicked his tongue watching this scene. Danzo's strength was clearly quite good, but in front of Minato, once he knew the effects of Izanagi, the opponent had no chance whatsoever.

This was the price of not being able to keep up with Minato's Flying Thunder God.

The best way to fight Minato was to keep up with his speed. That way, even if the opponent suddenly appeared in front, they wouldn't be so passive and unable to counterattack.

Unfortunately, this condition was very difficult to achieve. In the original work, if it wasn't for the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, only Madara had this reaction speed, able to instantly grab Tobirama Senju who had teleported using the Flying Thunder God Technique.

Or, to make Minato unable to break through defenses, such as maintaining a complete Susanoo.

But Minato could also choose not to attack and simply drain the opponent's ocular power.

Therefore, dealing with Minato, who used the Flying Thunder God Technique with such mastery, was indeed not easy.

Takuno didn't pay too much attention to it. He also didn't want to fight Minato; at least for a long time, they couldn't be enemies.

He watched the scene in the arena. All the eyes on Danzo's arm had closed. This time, using Izanagi would rely on the three-tomoe Sharingan in his right eye.

Danzo had still reached the end of his path.

Minato had once again condensed a Rasengan!

However, at this moment, a huge staff extended between Minato and Danzo, preventing Minato from continuing to harvest Danzo's life.

And the owner of this staff was the Third Hokage!
