Naruto: The Otsutsuki Naruto

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Immovable as a Mountain



In the snowy plains of the Land of Iron, Naruto and Orochimaru appeared before Danzō and his entourage.

Unlike the bridge that served as the battlefield years ago, though they had similarly escaped from the Five Kage Summit, Naruto used the Flying Raijin Jutsu to arrive here. This time, Danzō had yet to leave the Land of Iron.

Danzō, deep in thought, glanced at his shoulder out of the corner of his eye. "The Flying Raijin Jutsu mark... He deliberately waited until I left the summit to strike, avoiding dragging the other Kage into this..."

Orochimaru greeted him with a sly tone, "Danzō, long time no see. How is that right arm treating you?"

"..." Ignoring Orochimaru's taunt, Danzō released his grip on his cane and began unwrapping the bandages on his right arm, revealing a finely crafted arm guard.

"Fū, Torune, buy me some time. I need to undo the seal on my right arm."

"Understood!"

Fū and Torune stepped forward.

"Naruto has taken Nagato's body. He must have gained the power of the Rinnegan. Be cautious," Danzō instructed as he unclasped the first latch on his arm guard.

As Fū and Torune approached, Naruto's expression remained indifferent beneath his mask. "My target is Danzō alone. If you insist on standing in my way, I won't hold back."

Aburame Torune stood firm, his voice resolute. "If you want to get to Lord Danzō, you'll have to step over our corpses first!"

Naruto replied, "That's unfortunate..."

Fū thought to himself: The Nine-Tails' life is crucial for Lord Danzō's future plans. I must capture him alive if possible...

With that thought, he formed a peculiar hand sign, aiming it at Naruto from a distance.

Naruto's gaze sharpened. "That hand sign..."

Fū declared, "This technique is unavoidable..."

— *Mind Body Switch Technique*!

Buzz!

Naruto's body trembled as Fū's consciousness entered him!

"I'll destroy your left eye. Due to the connection of the Mind Body Switch, my own left eye will also be destroyed, but this sacrifice is worth it..."

Controlling Naruto's body, Fū drew a kunai and aimed it at Naruto's left eye!

Clink!

But the kunai's tip suddenly stopped just short of his eye, unable to move any further!

A few seconds later... Fū opened his eyes and sighed. "I failed. The Jinchūriki's willpower is extraordinarily strong. My Mind Body Switch was broken in just three seconds!"

Beside him, Aburame Torune said, "Then I'll use my technique to deal with him!"

He removed his black shirt, revealing dark purple venom flowing across his torso, and charged straight at Naruto.

Orochimaru warned, "He's the son of Aburame Shikuro. He can use nano-scale poisonous insects. Without the First Hokage's cells, even a single touch means certain death. Be careful, Naruto-kun..."

"Ah, I understand..." Naruto's left eye beneath the mask suddenly focused.

— *Shinra Tensei*!

Boom!

"What?!" The sudden burst of repulsive force sent Torune flying backward. He tumbled to the ground, landing face down.

Fū exclaimed, "What was that just now... Was it the Rinnegan's power?"

Torune struggled to get up. "Ugh, my whole body feels like it's falling apart... If I take two or three more hits like that, I'll probably die!"

At this moment, Naruto took out a pair of black gloves, put them on his left hand, and reached out toward Torune from a distance.

— *Banshō Ten'in*!

Whoosh!

The gravitational pull dragged Torune toward him from afar!

Torune shouted, "This time it's gravitational force!!"

Clang!! Suddenly, Fū rushed forward, grabbing Torune's shoulder while throwing a chain behind him, which wrapped around a tree in the background!

Clink!

The chain tightened, freezing both of them in place!

Rustle, rustle... However, the dark purple venom began spreading from Torune's shoulder to Fū's arm.

Torune yelled in panic, "Fū, let go of me!! You'll be infected by the poisonous insects!!"

"..." Naruto watched the scene coldly, then intensified the gravitational pull from his palm.

Whoosh!!

Fū could no longer hold on, and Torune was pulled forward. Naruto pressed his gloved left hand against Torune's chest and yanked forcefully.

— *Human Path*!

Whoosh!

Torune's soul was forcibly extracted, and his lifeless body collapsed at Naruto's feet.

— *Naraka Path*!

Boom! A ghostly purple flame ignited, manifesting as the King of Hell statue. It devoured both Torune's body and soul before disappearing.

Naruto removed the glove and tossed it aside, addressing the stunned Fū. "Do you want to join him in there?"

"..." Fū glanced back at Danzō, who was still calmly undoing the latches on his arm guard. His subordinates' lives were merely tools to buy him time.

Fū turned back, his face set with determination. "From the day I joined Root, my life has belonged to Lord Danzō!"

Clang!

He severed his insect-infected arm with his blade. Knowing his death was inevitable, he didn't even bother to bandage the wound. Grabbing his sword, he charged at Naruto.

Boom!

Another burst of repulsive force sent Fū sprawling to the ground, his sword flying from his grasp... Thud! A black rod pierced cleanly through his heart.

Fū died instantly, without any pain.

Naruto murmured, "Even as members of Root, symbols of darkness, you couldn't escape the essence of being a ninja. Fū Yamanaka, Aburame Torune... I will remember your names."

Thanks to the time bought by his loyal subordinates, Danzō finally undid the seal on his right arm. Ten Sharingan eyes spun erratically, exuding an unsettling aura.

Naruto remarked, "So that's Danzō's right arm, a fusion of Senju and Uchiha powers. If I recall correctly, that arm was created using Shin Uchiha's cells..."

Orochimaru confirmed, "Indeed. Shin's ability to resist rejection allowed him to simultaneously integrate Hashirama's cells and the Sharingan collected after the Uchiha massacre..."

Naruto thought to himself: Even I feel furious just looking at it. Sasuke must have been enraged when he saw this back then. That's why this time, I'll take care of Danzō myself. His ideology and methods will only hinder our future plans...

Danzō, confident of victory, declared, "Naruto Uzumaki, it seems you've gained one of Nagato's Rinnegan and have begun to master its power. However, against the combined might of Senju and Uchiha, you stand no chance..."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He swiftly formed three hand seals and charged at Naruto...

Naruto stood firm, unmoving as a mountain, his eyes brimming with fighting spirit. "Izanagi... is it coming?"

Orochimaru retreated to a distance, leaving the stage to Naruto. "With Danzō wielding the combined powers of Senju and Uchiha, and Naruto possessing the Rinnegan, both of them embody the essence of the Sage of Six Paths. Heh, let's see how this clash unfolds..."

"The left eye of Shisui... I didn't get it back then. In hindsight, it must have been fate, a sign that I would obtain the Rinnegan. Your left eye, Naruto... I'll be taking it without hesitation..."

Swish!

As Danzō closed in, he reached directly for Naruto's left eye without any preamble...
