Chapter 665: Hamu?!
Boom…! Boom…! Boom…! Boom…! Boom…!
A series of explosions reverberated in the forest, and amidst these explosions, the figure of ‘Danzo’ dragged a series of afterimages and shuttled between the trees, herbs, and shrubs seemingly unharmed.
From time to time, his body would flicker, and every time it did, painful screams of Kumogakure shinobi would resound on the battlefield.
No one… No one among the Kumogakure squad except the Yondaime Raikage was able to keep up with Danzo’s speed at this moment.
“Damn!”
Seeing his Shinobis being slaughtered by ‘Danzo’ one after another, and that too in his very presence, Yondaime Raikage grew furious by the minute, however, he was helpless.
Earlier, Ay was able to beat ‘Danzo’ in terms of speed and power, so he was confident that no matter what means ‘Danzo’ uses in the battle, the old man will be beaten by him… But as the battle started, Ay quickly realized how wrong he was!
True, he has mastered the Lightning Chakra Mode that gives him good reflexes, immense power, and most of all, speed, but, that speed seems to be nothing in the face of ‘Danzo’s’ Swift Release!
Much less stopping, Raikage is finding it hard to be able to keep up with Danzo’s speed.
Raikage wondered, ‘How is it possible? Even Hiruko wasn’t as fast as he is! Just how?!’
In fact, Raikage was finding the situation before him quite strange, Danzo’s speed is too fast, fine, but what’s up with his combat skills?
Oh… and for all those wondering that ‘Danzo’s’ combat skills have also improved significantly along with his speed, don’t… they haven’t, rather, they, have degraded… degraded far too much…
Based on what Ay is seeing, it is as if ‘Danzo’ doesn’t even know the first thing about combat… all he is relying on at this moment is his speed, which is quite strange and a matter to be frowned upon, but it is also a blessing at this moment for if that was not the case, the number of casualties his shinobis would have suffered at this moment would have been much more!
Whoosh…
Another flicker, another shinobi fell…
Thump… Plop…
As the blood of the shinobi splattered on his face, a strange expression dawned on Danzo’s face. It seemed to be the joy, excitement, and pride that a new shinobi would have on succeeding in killing his enemies…
Raikage muttered to himself in confusion, “What the hell’s going on?!”
Although he was unable to figure out the situation before him, this didn’t stop him from doing his best to stop Danzo.
‘Lightning Operation Horizontal!’
As Raikage used his Nin-taijutsu, an enormous amount of lightning gathered on his hand, and using his hand like a battle-ax made out of lightning, he slashed it towards Danzo creating a thunder blast!
Boom…!
Facing one of the most dangerous Nin-taijutsu of Ay, Danzo was unable to resist head-on and instantly flew out like a cannonball, slammed into trees creating holes in them, and finally smashed into the ground… creating a deep pit.
After delivering such a powerful and dangerous blow to Danzo, Raikage panted heavily, and after recovering, he turned towards Kumogakure Shinobi, and instructed, “Seal his body inside a scroll, and we will immediately be leaving the hinterlands of the Land of Fire.”
Raikage did not worry whether ‘Danzo’ is really dead or not… Raikage has confidence that no one can survive such an attack after taking it head-on. In Raikage’s eyes, Danzo is already a corpse!
“Understood Raikage-sama!” his shinobi nodded and got to work; they too were convinced that Danzo is dead after taking Raikage’s ‘Lightning Operation Horizontal!’ head-on!
They couldn’t have been more wrong…
As Kumogakure shinobi walked towards the pit where the supposed corpse of Danzo should be lying, they heard a sound…
Kacha…
It was the sound of a twig being stepped upon… and it definitely came from the pit…
The Kumogakure shinobi looked at each other’s faces as the figure of Danzo walked out of the smoke step by step.
Although the Hokage robe he was wearing was tattered, his body had no signs of damage whatsoever.
Witnessing such an unrealistic situation before them, all the Kumogakure shinobi were taken aback…
“But how? How is this even possible?”
“What sort of monster has he become?!”
“Has he… Has he really become a perfect shinobi just like Hiruko of the five styles?”
Even Raikage was out of his wits and realized that he can no longer assess Danzo before him with the same eyes, the supposed old man standing before them has completely changed… he is no longer the same guy he used to be… he has become a monster, just like Hiruko.
As Danzo walked out of the smoke, his demeanor and aura were completely different from a while ago. It was as if the Danzo standing before them at this very moment is a completely different Danzo from a while ago. Although his expression was still a bit dignified, there was neither an
