My Sign-in System in Naruto

The battle between ninjas is not only a clash of techniques but also a contest of information.

Especially in the early stages of Naruto, the strength of most ninjas was relatively similar.

To defeat Kakashi's Team 7, Zabuza even faked his own death to gather information about them.

Although Zabuza ultimately lost, it highlighted the importance of intelligence.

For Haru, who had seen Naruto, having knowledge of everyone's abilities was his greatest advantage.

"How did you determine the duration of his Izanagi?" Itachi asked without hesitation.

In fact, when Danzo revealed his arm embedded with Sharingan, Haru showed no surprise.

It was as if he had already known about it.

"I've killed Danzo once before," Haru said truthfully. In his view, this wasn't much of a secret.

"Now, it's just a matter of repeating the process a few more times."

With that, Haru strode confidently toward Danzo.

Although the Root members tried to intercept him, their strength was no match for Haru.

With the 360-degree vision of the Byakugan, Haru could clearly see the direction and method of each attacker.

It had to be said that, aside from Danzo, these ninjas' fighting styles were quite conventional.

Some threw shuriken or kunai, while others used various B-rank techniques.

Only a few chose to approach him with taijutsu or kenjutsu.

Danzo, watching Haru get closer, began to breathe heavily.

Although he could use the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique, Izanagi, its effective time was limited.

Moreover, the technique consumed a significant amount of chakra.

"Can I still use it ten more times?" Danzo glanced at the Sharingan on his arm and immediately performed a summoning jutsu.

Boom!

With a loud noise, a thick cloud of smoke spread in all directions.

Danzo seized this opportunity to take a deep breath.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"

Countless wind blades shot through the white smoke, aiming for Haru's vital points.

Through the Byakugan, Haru instantly recognized Danzo's summon.

The Baku.

A creature capable of using Wind Release to suck in and devour enemies. Danzo had even used it to break through Sasuke's Susanoo.

Whoosh!

The moment Danzo unleashed the Vacuum Serial Waves, the Baku understood the situation. It opened its massive jaws and inhaled deeply, creating an incredibly powerful gust of wind.

Haru could feel the overwhelming wind pressure pushing him toward the Baku.

Just as the Vacuum Serial Waves were about to hit him, Haru remained calm and simply clapped his hands together.

Clap!

The sound was crisp and decisive.

"Wood Release: Wood Human Technique!"

As Haru channeled his chakra into the ground, the trees rapidly expanded and transformed, forming a towering wooden giant.

Haru stepped onto its back, stabilizing himself by focusing chakra into his feet.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

The Vacuum Serial Waves struck the wooden giant, but they only left a few cracks.

The Root members couldn't destroy Haru's creation.

Itachi stared at Haru and his wooden giant, which was even larger than before.

"Is its defense comparable to Susanoo?"

In truth, this battle wasn't just about Itachi and Haru teaming up to kill Danzo.

Throughout the process, Itachi was also gathering information about Haru.

Although Haru had used the Wood Human Technique before, it had been more of a deterrent than an actual fight.

Based on intuition alone, Itachi couldn't accurately gauge the wooden giant's strength.

But now, the giant's defensive power left him utterly shocked.

Without using Susanoo, he could only dodge.

Moreover, Danzo wasn't an ordinary ninja. He knew the Uchiha clan inside and out.

Even against Shisui, he hadn't failed.

Using genjutsu on him wouldn't be easy.

As Itachi compared himself to Haru, the massive wooden giant began to move forward.

Every Root member present gasped in shock.

Even Torune was momentarily stunned, feeling as if his worldview had been shattered.

Was this really a battle between ninjas?

That giant wooden construct was impervious to Danzo's Wind Release, and its strength and speed rivaled that of any agile jonin.

Without exaggeration, if he had to face Haru and his wooden giant, even retreating would be extremely difficult.

"Damn it…"

Danzo gritted his teeth. He had thought he could succeed with the help of his summon, the Baku.

But for some reason, it felt like Haru knew everything about him.

"Not even the slightest opening?"

Danzo frowned, only to see the wooden giant ignore the Baku's wind pressure, reaching out with a thick arm to clamp down on its mouth.

Boom!

With a series of rumbling sounds, the wooden giant pressed the Baku to the ground with overwhelming force.

The giant's defense was so absurd that it could catch a Tailed Beast Bomb and throw it back.

Even without Sage Mode to further enhance the wooden giant, dealing with a Baku was more than enough.

As the wind pressure dissipated, Haru used his explosive speed to close the distance to Danzo, grabbing him by the neck.

Crack!

With a clean, swift motion, Haru snapped Danzo's neck.

However, this only caused one of the eyes on Danzo's arm to close permanently.

"You are indeed strong."

Danzo took a step back, his neck slipping out of Haru's grasp. He stared at Haru, his emotions complex.

"I once conducted human experiments, hoping to restore the power of Lord Hashirama to the Leaf."

"But what I ended up with were inferior products like Tenzo."

"After pouring everything into him, he was taken from me by Hiruzen."

"But…"

"You have taken the wrong path. Hiruzen's weakness will only lead to the Leaf's decline, just like Lord Hashirama's policies."

"Just like Shisui."

"Despite possessing the power to change the ninja world, you remain fixated on a single village."

"Fixated on a single clan."

"Even the peace Lord Hashirama achieved was limited, and its expiration was his death."

Danzo screamed hysterically, unable to understand why so many people supported Hiruzen and his ideals.

"True."

Facing Danzo's rant, Haru nodded, agreeing with some of his points.

But that didn't conflict with his goal of killing Danzo.

Stab!

Haru gripped a kunai and thrust it forward, piercing through Danzo's left chest, the blade protruding from his back.

"Let me calculate. It seems I still need to kill you eight more times."

Haru shrugged, then glanced at Itachi behind him. "Do you want to take a couple of shots too?"

Itachi: "???"
