Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Danzo's Shock
Extra Chapter~
"Whoosh…"
However—
Blood splattered from Danzo, who was supposed to have lost his right eye.
In an instant, he vanished like a wisp of smoke once more, eerily disappearing without a trace.
Even the blood drops that splashed and the eye hanging on the vine were nowhere to be seen.
It was hard to believe.
"How could you possibly have the Mangekyo Sharingan?"
Appearing a few meters away, Danzo had narrowly escaped using Izanagi, his face filled with disbelief.
His gaze fixated on Kiyoshi's eyes, or more precisely, on the Mangekyo pattern within them. He could no longer maintain his composure.
"And Kotoamatsukami doesn't work on you…"
Not only did Kiyoshi possess the Mangekyo Sharingan—
But even Danzo's trump card, Kotoamatsukami, was ineffective against him.
This was something he found hard to accept. Inevitably, he began to lose his composure, and a strong unease surged within him.
"You're not from the Uchiha clan, so why do you have the Sharingan?"
Staring intently at Kiyoshi, Danzo questioned through gritted teeth.
He struggled to believe it, especially since Kiyoshi could freely deactivate his Mangekyo Sharingan.
This suggested that Kiyoshi might indeed have Uchiha blood.
But Root had already investigated Kiyoshi's background.
At most, he was just a distant branch of the Senju clan.
So, what on earth was going on?
"You want to know, huh?"
Seeing Danzo's bewilderment and loss of composure, Kiyoshi smiled and replied, "Sorry, but I'm under no obligation to let you die with that knowledge!"
In this world, there are many forbidden jutsu that can summon the dead back from the Pure Land.
Although Kiyoshi wasn't particularly concerned about revealing his abilities, he wasn't foolish enough to tell his enemies about them either.
"So that's the Uchiha's forbidden technique, Izanagi?"
On the edge of the battlefield—
Standing atop a tall tree, Tsunade watched from a distance.
Witnessing Danzo's resurrection, she couldn't help but be shaken.
Observing Danzo, who looked neither fully human nor ghostly as he faced off against Kiyoshi, she frowned. "Danzo… how disgusting, to turn himself into this…"
But Kiyoshi's displayed power shocked Tsunade even more.
She knew very well that Kiyoshi hadn't even used his trump cards yet.
He was simply using Danzo as a sparring partner.
"Hmph…"
Danzo's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't hesitate.
Gazing directly at Ishikawa Kiyoshi, he charged forward boldly.
His gaze held a greedy and ruthless gleam. "In that case, I'll be taking your eyes without mercy!"
No matter how impressive the boy's abilities—
He was still just a kid.
Danzo couldn't believe he couldn't handle a mere child.
"You should be more worried about yourself; you're down to eight Sharingan…" Kiyoshi mocked calmly, "No, counting Shisui's eye, it's nine…"
As he finished speaking,
Kiyoshi flicked his right hand.
A barrage of wooden spikes shot out, hurtling straight at Danzo.
Though he had nine eyes left, the Mangekyo Sharingan was precious beyond measure.
Danzo would never waste one just for Izanagi unless absolutely necessary.
"Earth Style: Mud Wall!"
Danzo's eyes narrowed.
Without a moment's hesitation, he leaped back, forming hand seals rapidly.
With a loud clap—
"Boom… boom…"
From the scarred ground, a thick earthen wall rose up with a rumble,
blocking the wooden spikes relentlessly pelting toward him.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Blade!" Leaping atop the wall, Danzo sprinted across it.
With a kunai in hand, he channeled a surge of wind-style chakra into it, forming a sharp, greenish-blue chakra blade.
He charged at Kiyoshi at breakneck speed.
"Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Kiyoshi's face was expressionless.
In an instant, countless saplings sprang up from the ground, rapidly growing into towering trees.
And these trees seemed almost alive.
They twisted and lunged at Danzo, eager to ensnare him.
"Is this the First Hokage's jutsu?"
Danzo's eyes shrank, and his heart skipped a beat.
He dodged frantically, avoiding the relentless barrage of vines.
Although he possessed Hashirama's cells and could use Wood Style, it wasn't an ability he had awakened naturally like Kiyoshi, nor was it a diluted gene infusion like Yamato's.
Instead, he'd taken a shortcut, using the yin chakra from his Sharingan to balance the Hashirama cells implanted in his right arm.
Strictly speaking, Danzo did not possess Wood Release himself.
He could only perform a limited range of Wood Release jutsu with his right arm.
This was why, despite having access to Wood Release, he rarely used it.
Moreover, Hashirama's cells were highly invasive; even a small mistake could disrupt the delicate balance between yin and yang chakra, leading to a violent outburst that would consume him.
"Whoosh whoosh…"
"Bang… bang…"
Danzo dodged incessantly, his sharp wind chakra blade slicing through the incoming vines.
Yet they would grow back almost instantly, relentlessly striking again and again.
It was impossible to defend against them.
In such a situation, getting close to Kiyoshi was out of the question.
Even Danzo himself narrowly avoided capture.
"Aargh…"
In a careless moment, numerous vines darted toward him like lightning, ensnaring his legs.
Caught off guard, Danzo's expression changed drastically. Before he could slice through the vines with his blade, countless more vines surged forward, as if catching a whiff of prey.
They stormed toward him, draining his chakra with abandon.
Danzo's eyes turned fierce.
With his free right hand, he awkwardly maneuvered his kunai.
"Aargh…" He stabbed his own heart viciously.
Blood splattered.
Encased by vines, his entire figure vanished mysteriously.
"To think he'd resort to suicide—that's ruthless…" Seeing Danzo sacrifice himself to escape the trap only to revive using Izanagi, Kiyoshi chuckled softly.
Behind him, as if with eyes in the back of his head, he turned around.
Watching Danzo reappear in a flash behind him.
"Damn it… down to seven now…"
Glancing at his right arm, sensing his chakra depletion, Danzo's face grew grim. "And I'm burning through chakra too quickly!"
"No more delays; I need to end this brat now!"
"Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets!"
He swiftly formed seals with his hands, gathering wind-style chakra in his mouth.
He spat it toward Kiyoshi as he turned around.
"Whoosh… whoosh…" Sharp wind bullets tore through the air, carrying intense penetrating power.
One after another, they shot toward Kiyoshi.
"It's useless," Kiyoshi replied with a slight smile.
A massive wooden shield erupted from the ground.
Blocking the relentless volley of wind bullets, each one more powerful and larger than the previous.
"Boom boom…"
Splinters of wood flew.
The unassuming wooden shield,
proved surprisingly sturdy, withstanding Danzo's fierce assault.
Yet the formidable wind bullets continued to hammer it, causing it to tremble.
The surface was riddled with craters and scars, a daunting sight.
But ultimately, the shield wasn't pierced through.
"Swish… swish…"
Danzo pulled out shuriken after shuriken, imbuing each with wind-style chakra.
One by one, he flung them at Kiyoshi.
"Whoosh, whoosh…"
The spinning shuriken sliced through the air like invisible windmills.
The shuriken, sharp and reinforced with wind chakra,tore through the already battered wooden shield, finally shattering it.
Still undeterred, they flew toward Kiyoshi.
"Schwick—"
In that instant, Kiyoshi, seemingly defenseless, was split in two.
But his body turned out to be a wooden clone.
Not a single drop of blood spilled.
"What?"
Danzo felt a sudden chill.
Sensing danger, he moved to turn around, but a massive wooden vine shot through his body.
Somehow, Kiyoshi had appeared behind him, smiling.
"Down to six now!"
"Damn it…" Danzo, pierced through, vanished once again, reappearing behind Kiyoshi.
"Wood Style: Tree Bind Eternal Burial"
"Die, brat!"
Before his words faded, a seedling sprouted from his right arm.
"Whoosh—" The seedling grew at an astonishing speed, forming into a gigantic tree, completely engulfing both him and Kiyoshi, leaving no escape.
