My Sign-in System in Naruto

Seeing his escape route cut off by Haru, Danzo decisively chose to confront him head-on.

"Die!"

Danzo's gaze was razor-sharp. He had originally planned to retreat temporarily and leave Haru and Itachi to Root to deal with.

But now, he had changed his mind.

He didn't just want Haru dead he also wanted to eliminate Itachi, the pawn who had defied him.

Because he had no use for tools that disobeyed him.

Whoosh!

Danzo charged out of Haru's Great Fireball, ignoring the pain coursing through his body. He infused his kunai with Wind Release chakra, forming a sharp wind blade, and swung it toward Haru's throat.

He aimed to deliver a fatal blow!

If this had been any other ninja, they might have fallen victim to Danzo's all-or-nothing attack.

But Haru had already activated his Byakugan.

Even though Danzo had used the Great Fireball to conceal his deadly strike, Haru had seen through it clearly.

"Rotation!"

With a loud shout, the chakra cloak covering Haru's body erupted outward.

In the next moment, Haru began to spin rapidly.

The massive Great Fireball dissipated, replaced by a visible sphere of chakra that quickly formed a dome around Haru.

Boom!

Danzo's kunai slammed into the Rotation, and the Wind Release chakra infused in it was instantly dispersed. The kunai itself shattered into two pieces.

Danzo's eyes widened. As the leader of Root, he was intimately familiar with every aspect of the Leaf Village.

This technique was supposed to be a secret of the Hyūga main family, something even the branch family wasn't allowed to inherit.

Yet Haru had just used it right in front of him.

Not only Wood Release, but even Rotation…

But before Danzo could fully process his shock, the range of Haru's Rotation expanded, shattering the remaining kunai in his hand.

Then, the force of the Rotation slammed into Danzo's body, the overwhelming power effortlessly crushing his internal organs and every bone in his body.

"Ahhhhh!"

With a scream, Danzo's body was sent flying, crashing into the Earth-Style Wall behind him and embedding itself halfway into the structure.

This all happened so suddenly that even the Root members didn't have time to react.

"Lord Danzo!"

Torune stared in shock at Danzo, whose lower half was now sticking out of the wall.

He was somewhat familiar with the Hyūga clan.

Rotation was a technique the Hyūga main family took great pride in, calling it the ultimate defense.

But at its core, it was a defensive move that relied on high-speed rotation.

In Haru's hands, however, it wasn't just a defensive technique.

The moment Haru made contact with Danzo, he not only unleashed his chakra to expand the range of the Rotation but also increased its power several times over.

Torune could even hear the sound of Danzo's internal organs and bones shattering one by one.

"Was that the Byakugan?"

Itachi's eyes widened in disbelief.

After Haru ended the Rotation, his milky-white eyes were exposed for all to see.

"When did he transplant the Byakugan?"

Itachi frowned.

In truth, although this assassination plan was supposed to involve Haru's Wood Clone assisting him, it now seemed more like Haru was single-handedly hunting down Danzo.

Itachi was just there by coincidence.

Moreover, the gap in strength between the two sides was enormous. Even if Itachi did nothing, Danzo would still be killed by Haru.

"It's over."

Itachi took a deep breath. After suffering that level of attack, even Danzo couldn't possibly survive.

"No wonder he didn't care about the Root members here. With his strength, he really could ignore them."

Just as Itachi was convinced that this was the end, Danzo's chakra, which had once disappeared, suddenly reappeared.

And…

There was no sign of him being on the verge of death.

"How is this possible…"

Itachi frowned deeply, then looked toward the source of Danzo's restored chakra.

Danzo, who had been embedded in the Earth-Style Wall, had completely vanished.

"Rotation, huh."

The bandages and outer clothing on Danzo's body had been completely burned away by Haru's Great Fireball, but there were no burns left on his skin.

Even the internal organs and bones that Haru had shattered were now completely intact.

Both Haru and Itachi turned their attention to Danzo.

In particular, his right arm, which bore the face of Hashirama Senju at the shoulder, was covered in three-tomoe Sharingan.

One of them had permanently closed.

Haru narrowed his eyes, having already anticipated this.

When Danzo had charged out of the Great Fireball earlier, he had activated Izanagi, trying to use its temporary invincibility to trade his life for Haru's.

"That is…"

Itachi carefully observed Danzo. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that Danzo had modified his own body.

"It's Izanagi."

Haru said without hesitation. "You should know about this forbidden technique."

"Yes…" Itachi nodded, not denying it, but he was still shocked by the fact that Danzo possessed so many Sharingan.

"Since the beginning of war, members of the Uchiha clan have died."

"Some died in battle, others mysteriously disappeared. If I'm not mistaken, Danzo collected these Sharingan through such means."

"And the reason he came up with such a terrifying idea was probably because of Kakashi."

Itachi explained his theory.

Kakashi had become a hero during the Third Great Ninja War and had also obtained Obito's eye.

It was likely at that time that Danzo developed the idea of collecting Sharingan.

"I never expected him to master the Uchiha's forbidden technique."

Recalling the moment before Shisui's death, when he entrusted the clan and the Sharingan to him, Itachi felt even more determined.

"It seems we'll have to kill him ten more times." Itachi's voice was low as he drew his weapon.

Based on the number of Sharingan on Danzo's arm and his right eye, he could activate Izanagi ten more times.

In other words, he could also use ten suicide attacks.

If he managed to take one of them down with him during any of those ten attempts, the outcome would be decided.

"Now we need to determine how long Danzo's Izanagi lasts."

Itachi spoke slowly. Based on his understanding of Izanagi, this forbidden technique not only consumed a massive amount of chakra but also had varying durations depending on the user.

If they could calculate the exact duration, dealing with him would be much easier.

"That's the weakness of Izanagi." Itachi paused. "I'll need your cooperation, Haru."

"No need for all that trouble. Danzo's Izanagi lasts only one minute."

Itachi: "???"
