Chapter 541: Chapter 541 Danzo Vs. Naruto
"Ah! Danzo-sama, what do you mean by this?" Naruto feigned surprise as he looked at Danzo, "We have no grudges against each other, so why the swords and guns?"
"We are of the same origin, why rush to harm one another? Isn't this a bit rude?"
"Hmph!" Danzo ignored Naruto's nonsense and stared at him, gripping the kunai, "Kyubi's Jinchuriki, are you here to kill me?"
"Who sent you here? What do you mean by all this? Was it that madwoman Tsunade?"
"What does this have to do with Tsunade-sama?" Naruto laughed as he unsheathed the Kusanagi Sword, "Danzo-sama, this is a personal vendetta."
"Personal vendetta?" Danzo purposely tried to buy time. He didn't think that Naruto could be that strong after losing the Kyubi.
However, he needed to recover some strength. Sasuke, taking advantage of his youth and the ability to use Susanoo, did not abide by the ethics of martial arts when dealing with him, a 65-year-old veteran.
He felt the young people these days really have no honor. Sasuke is using his strong body to bully an old man was bad enough, but the Kyubi's Jinchuriki is more insidious, hiding in the dark all this time.
Who knows, if things had gone poorly just now, this guy might have attacked from the shadows. He wondered if this brat have any sense of honor.
Danzo really wanted to curse now, but his good qualities as a high-level person stopped him. He just looked up at Naruto and silently continued to recover his strength.
"Yes, a personal vendetta. You haven't forgotten, right, Danzo-sama?" Naruto brandished the Kusanagi Sword and smiled menacingly. "Aren't you planning to develop me as a weapon for the village?"
"A Jinchuriki is just a weapon anyway, right? If it's broken, just find another one. The value of the Biju to the village is too important."
"Isn't that right? Everything I did was for the village's benefit. I have no regrets." Danzo calmed his breathing, trying to recover more strength.
Although Naruto in front of him is Jiraiya's disciple, in the final analysis, if there is no Biju in his body, he is not to be feared.
No matter how dangerous Naruto is, can he be as dangerous as Susanoo?
Sasuke had already destroyed seven of his Sharingan, leaving Danzo with only four. They were precious, and he had to use it sparingly. (T/N: Ten in his arms, and one on his right eye socket.)
'It is best to kill him with one strike and preserve my strength.'
"No regrets? Of course you don't, since you never asked if I agreed." Naruto kept approaching Danzo, dragging the Kusanagi Sword along the ground.
"Setting facts aside, Danzo-sama, your words really sting. I almost died because of you… just a little bit more and I would've been gone."
"The development plan was surely led by Root, wasn't it? Did you really think developing me would be that easy? Haha, did you see their bodies that day? I killed every single one of them."
"I'm doing this for the village's benefit, Danzo-sama~" Naruto said mockingly, his eyes half-closed as he taunted Danzo.
"I have no regrets. After all, a Hokage's authority is limitless. Tsunade-sama's orders are the will of the village. I didn't want to do it, but I had to."
"How does it feel to see all your hard work go up in flames? Didn't even get the news in time? Well, it's because my sword is just too fast. That's my only flaw."
"My sword's too fast, can't help it. It's tough being me. Now, once I kill you, I can smear your name all I want."
Hearing Naruto ramble on, Danzo's anger surged. Bringing up old grievances made his teeth itch. He felt that Tsunade was simply crazy, as she wiped out Root just like that.
Unfortunately, she had two loyal dogs under her, completely wiping out the organization he had built over half his life. It would be a lie to say that he was not angry, but what's done was done.
It all happened too fast that there was no time to stop it.
"What's the point of talking about this now? Everything I did was for Konoha. Even if some things weren't honorable, Konoha is proud of me."
Danzo's face remained cold. Now that his strength had mostly returned, he raised his head and stared at Naruto.
"My contributions to Konoha over the years are undeniable. Kids like you can't understand. To think that madwoman Tsunade could take me down… what a joke."
"After I kill you, I'll continue my way. One day, I'll return to Konoha."
As Danzo spoke, Wind Attribute Chakra surged through his hand, forming a massive wind blade. His eyes were sharp, and he gritted his teeth and roared at Naruto.
"The Hokage's position is only worthy of me!"
His words, loosely translated, meant: "The Hokage seat sullied by fools? No way!"
Naruto was not to be outdone. He never cared about being Hokage. Only when Danzo died could he sleep peacefully.
All Naruto thought was: Just die, old dog!
The Biju Chakra Cloak instantly covered Naruto's body, and more than 70% of the power of the Yin-Yang Kyubi flowed into his body, and the blood-red glow of his Chakra expanded rapidly.
The bloodlust surged to the sky, and Naruto didn't bother dodging. Twisting his body, he punched forward. The blood-red aura around him glowed, and a massive blood-colored fox manifested behind him, almost solid in form.
Seeing this, Danzo's pupil suddenly widened, 'I was sure that Kyubi was no longer in this brat's body, so why?! Why can he still use the power of the Kyubi even though he is no longer the Kyubi's Jinchuriki?'
And by the looks of it, it was nearly equivalent to Susano'o. Naruto had his purple Gundam, and now Naruto had a blood fox?
Under Naruto's control, the blood-colored Nine-Tails swung its fist, launching Danzo flying. At that moment, Naruto once again disappeared instantly with the invisible Flying Thunder God Kunai.
Within moments, Naruto reappeared above Danzo, and before he could react, a small black Bijudama was shot out in a flash of air before it could even take shape.
The Bijudama tore through the air, leaving a straight trail of black energy, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound. As it exploded, it directly burned through Danzo who was trapped in the deep pit.
Two of his Sharingan closed, and Danzo coughed up thick blood, narrowly surviving again. Hiding behind a tree, he cautiously scanned the surroundings, cursing in his mind, 'Uchiha having Susanoo was one thing, but after barely managing to injure him, now there's another cheater? How do I even fight this?'
'Doesn't Bijudama take time to be charged? Where's the charging phase? Damn it, how am I supposed to fight this? It just shot out in a flash!'
For the first time, Danzo felt the full malice of the world. Just because they had Kekkei Genkai, they thought they were something special? This world wasn't fair. For a normal person like him, it was practically a living hell.
With two lives down, Naruto had figured out Danzo's trump card. As long as he didn't give him time to breathe, speeding up in each clash, Danzo would have no choice but to rely on his Sharingan to save his life.
"Danzo-sama, where are you? Don't hide." Naruto taunted as he wandered through the forest, the blood-colored Kyubi phantom flickering around him, "Old man, it's time to drop some loot."
