This Danzo Is Weird!

As the Yin and Yang chakra swirled and gathered in the mouth of the Eight-Tails, a suffocating aura of destruction enveloped Kikyo Castle.

Even the ninja from Sunagakure and Kumogakure couldn't suppress their trembling. This was fear etched deep into human instincts.

"So this is the power of a Tailed Beast?"

Many couldn't help but mutter in awe. For most, this was their first time experiencing the terror of a Tailed Beast's might firsthand.

"Please, let it hold…"

Shikai stared intently at the rampaging Eight-Tails, silently praying in his heart.

Despite all their careful preparations, he wasn't confident they could withstand a full-powered attack from a Tailed Beast.

"Die, Konoha scum!"

Killer Bee roared furiously.

The fully transformed Eight-Tails opened its massive mouth wide, swallowing the pitch-black Tailed Beast Ball it had condensed.

Then, like a cannon fired after a long charge, it unleashed the Tailed Beast Ball straight toward Kikyo Castle!

The high-speed projectile streaked through the air, leaving a near-invisible line in its wake as it tore apart the very atmosphere, accompanied by an earth-shattering roar.

"Now!"

Shikai suddenly shouted.

The barrier team, who had been on standby, sprang into action. Black sealing runes, resembling tadpoles, surged upward from the city wall and formed a massive net that caught the incoming Tailed Beast Ball!

The enormous sphere of destruction struggled violently within the barrier, tearing at it like a trapped beast. Finally, it exploded in a devastating blast!

Blinding light erupted from the city wall, and a catastrophic shockwave ravaged the battlefield, destroying everything in its path.

"We stopped it!"

Shikai clenched his fist in triumph, but the scene before him quickly sobered him.

Despite their best efforts, the barrier was ultimately shattered by the explosion's residual force. Even the city wall had been left with a massive breach.

The only fortunate outcome was that the interior of Kikyo Castle remained relatively unscathed.

But what now?

Having witnessed the sheer power of a Tailed Beast, Shikai was deeply worried.

As expected, when Killer Bee saw that his Tailed Beast Ball had failed to completely destroy the enemy stronghold, his anger flared even hotter.

"You've got to be kidding me!"

"Yo, Hachibi, crank up the power!"

At his command, the Eight-Tails stretched its eight massive octopus-like tentacles outward, shaking the very ground beneath it.

It opened its massive jaws once more, gathering an even more terrifying amount of chakra. This time, even Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, couldn't help but glance over repeatedly, a hint of envy flickering in his eyes.

After all, Sunagakure also had a Tailed Beast of its own.

But unlike Killer Bee, they had no perfect Jinchūriki capable of fully controlling their Tailed Beast in battle.

If they did, the strategic value it could bring to Sunagakure would be immeasurable.

The Tailed Beast Ball alone could serve as the ultimate tool for defense, siege, and long-range assault.

With another thunderous roar, the Eight-Tails unleashed a Tailed Beast Ball twice the size of the previous one.

This time, Killer Bee had poured even more chakra into it, sacrificing speed for stability and increased destructive power.

The immense ball of energy moved slowly but carried an apocalyptic aura. No mere walls or barriers could hope to withstand it.

Once again, a shadow of destruction loomed over the Konoha shinobi.

Some Earth Release specialists among the Konoha ninja tried to erect multiple Earth Walls to halt the advancing Tailed Beast Ball, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a cart—utterly futile. The walls were effortlessly crushed.

"We're going to die…"

"This kind of monster is unbeatable…"

Under the overwhelming pressure of such raw power, the psychological defenses of many ninja began to crumble.

　　Even the usually composed Shikai showed a look of despair.

If this Tailed Beast Ball detonated within Kikyo Castle, the defensive lines they painstakingly built would be completely destroyed!

Afterward, they would be forced into brutal street-to-street combat with the enemy, relying solely on the pre-dug shelters.

By that point, Kikyo Castle would truly become a merciless meat grinder.

Perhaps this was the best possible outcome for Kikyo Castle.

Just as everyone was sinking into despair, prepared to embrace death, countless paper sheets descended from the sky. Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, they gathered into the form of an elderly but resolute figure.

"Apologies for the delay, but I made it in time, didn't I?"

Danzo's hoarse voice rang through the battlefield like a divine hymn, rekindling hope in the hearts of those who were ready to succumb to despair.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, he calmly unwrapped the bandages on his body, raising his gray but robust arm with an air of tranquility and confidence.

"Wood Release: Violent Spear Tree!"

With his Wood Release talent upgraded to A+, the power of Danzo's Wood Release techniques had undergone a massive transformation, reaching a whole new level.

At that moment, his right arm transformed into a towering tree that collided forcefully with the incoming Tailed Beast Ball, carrying an unstoppable momentum.

However, even Wood Release, which naturally countered Tailed Beasts, could not fully stop the Eight-Tails' full-powered Tailed Beast Ball.

The black chakra sphere steadily advanced, tearing through the massive tree and heading straight for Danzo!

Terror filled the faces of all the Konoha shinobi.

Was the savior they had pinned their hopes on about to fall so easily?

Danzo's answer, of course, was no.

Disengaging from his Wood Release technique, he extended his hand and pressed it directly against the weakened Tailed Beast Ball.

"Catching a Tailed Beast Ball barehanded? Has he gone mad?"

This wasn't just Killer Bee's thought—it was the sentiment of every ninja present, including those from Kumogakure and Sunagakure.

"Whoosh!"

The Tailed Beast Ball let out a sharp, piercing sound as cracks spread across its black surface, with blinding white light erupting from within.

It was the precursor to the Tailed Beast Ball's imminent explosion!

Just when everyone thought Danzo would be obliterated by the explosion, a shocking scene unfolded.

The Tailed Beast Ball, capable of annihilating an entire town and vaporizing countless lives, simply vanished into thin air in front of Danzo!

The battlefield, now empty except for some dust drifting in the air, left everyone bewildered.

What just happened?

Danzo's expression remained calm, but internally, he was battling turbulence.

Using the "Preta Path" ability, he had indeed absorbed the Tailed Beast Ball's chakra, but the ferocious energy was wreaking havoc inside him, causing significant strain!

Thankfully, with his enhanced Wood Release talent, he managed to suppress the violent Tailed Beast chakra within.

Even so, the impact of the Tailed Beast Ball left his mind buzzing, compounding the aftermath of the earlier blow he'd taken.

But no matter what, in the eyes of the Konoha shinobi, Danzo's actions were undeniably spectacular!

To effortlessly catch the feared Tailed Beast Ball with just one hand—was there anyone else in the ninja world capable of such a feat?

Truly, this was Lord Danzo at his finest!
