Land of Fire, The Great Bridge.
"I... I am a Root ninja, loyal to Konoha! I am not a rogue ninja!"
The faith of the Root ninjas, brainwashed from a young age, crumbled instantly upon learning that Danzo Shimura had become a rogue ninja.
No matter what, the foundation of Danzo Shimura's brainwashing methods was rooted in Konoha. However, his indoctrination was built on the belief that only he could lead Konoha to greatness.
"Don't panic! Buy me time. They won't be able to stop me. As long as I return, I will become the Sixth Hokage of Konoha!"
At this moment, Danzo Shimura seemed to regain his confidence. His eyes glimmered with rage as he shouted:
"Jiraiya, for the sake of Konoha's stability, how dare you side with Tsunade? You have deeply disappointed me. Do you realize that your actions will throw the entire Konoha into chaos? And yet, you choose to follow Tsunade's reckless behavior!"
"Even if the Root is taken down by you in the village, the Mitokado, Homura, and Sarutobi clans will not stand idly by! The wrath of these three clans will plunge the village into turmoil!"
Danzo Shimura's confidence soared, and a sinister, ruthless smirk spread across his face. He knew there was no need to even mention the Shimura clan in this situation.
Internally, Danzo was ecstatic. If the village descended into chaos, the blame would all fall on Tsunade. She would never be able to remain as the Fifth Hokage.
Once he returned, Danzo was confident that fools like Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu had already prepared everything for his return.
Moreover, the three clans would never allow themselves to fall from their position of power. They would undoubtedly support him like never before!
At this moment, the flames of ambition burned brightly within Danzo's eyes. Hokage! The position of Hokage had never been closer to him!
In the past, every time he had approached the position, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu had held him back. But this time, there would be no obstacles.
No one in Konoha was more qualified than him to become Hokage!
"Danzo, your ideology is too extreme! You'll bring Konoha to ruin!"
Jiraiya stared at Danzo in shock. Even now, Danzo hadn't abandoned his ambition to become Hokage. It was sheer madness.
"Shimura Danzo! You've destroyed the Uchiha clan! You're mine to deal with—no one else is allowed to interfere!"
At this moment, Sasuke, wielding his ninja blade, exuded a deadly aura. No matter the world, Danzo was always a figure of evil.
The Sharingan on Danzo's arm ignited Sasuke's killing intent.
"Itachi should never have let someone like you live!"
As Danzo glared at Sasuke with hatred in his eyes, the battle erupted in an instant.
"Protect Lord Danzo and help him break through!"
In the blink of an eye, the Root team formed a coordinated combat formation. Danzo's signals gave them a sliver of hope.
Once Danzo returned, he would use Shisui's Kotoamatsukami to seize power!
"Quick! Stop Danzo! Danzo's right eye is Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan! We cannot let him return to the village with that eye!"
"Sasuke, leave Danzo to you!"
Kakashi calmly directed the battle as both sides clashed. Explosive tags and ninjutsu erupted all around, creating chaos.
"This kid..."
Standing atop a bridge pillar, overseeing the situation, Jiraiya narrowed his eyes and began analyzing Sasuke's combat capabilities. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com
It was clear that both Jiraiya and Kakashi were observing Sasuke's strength. This was also Sasuke's first battle to prove himself as a member of Konoha again.
"Danzo! You vile criminal!"
"Itachi should never have let you live!"
"You don't deserve to speak of Itachi!"
Enraged, Sasuke unleashed lightning from his body. The Great Bridge was illuminated by crackling thunder, leaving everyone stunned.
"That's Sasuke!"
"How can he be this strong?"
"What terrifying chakra!"
"That's the Lightning Release Taijutsu style of the Hidden Cloud!"
As Sasuke activated the Lightning Release Armor, his overwhelming power forced Danzo, who was preparing to break through, to retreat.
With a single strike, Danzo coughed up blood and crashed into the bridge, creating a deep crater.
"Lord Danzo!"
"Everyone, beware of Danzo's Sharingan!"
"Danzo! You cowardly rat hiding in the shadows! The Uchiha clan met its end because of people like you..."
Recalling his tragic childhood and everything he had endured in this world, Sasuke's fury soared.
It was all because of Danzo!
"Evil Uchiha! Everything I've done was for Konoha..."
Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!
In an instant, a terrifying Wind Release swept across the Great Bridge. This display of power solidified Danzo Shimura's reputation as the greatest Wind Release user in the ninja world.
However, in the next moment, under the shocked gazes of Jiraiya and the Konoha ninja observing from the shadows, a massive purple skeleton emerged on the bridge.
"That's...! Sasuke has awakened those eyes!"
"Those are the same eyes as Uchiha Itachi's!"
"The Mangekyo Sharingan of the Uchiha clan!"
The tomoe in Sasuke's Sharingan had already fused into a six-pointed star, forming the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Simultaneously, the skeletal structure of Susano'o appeared around him. Muscles and chakra armor grew over the bones, significantly increasing its defense.
"This is... the Mangekyo! I didn't expect your eyes to reach this level. No wonder Orochimaru failed..."
Danzo Shimura, resurrected through the use of Izanagi, stared at Sasuke's Susano'o with a twisted expression of greed and malice.
"Perfect timing. These eyes of yours—I'll take them!"
Appearing behind Sasuke's Susano'o, Danzo gripped a kunai infused with Wind Release chakra.
The infamous scene of Kunai stabbing Susano'o unfolded!
Danzo was no fool. Ever since Uchiha Madara's death, no one in the ninja world had personally witnessed Susano'o. He intended to test its defenses using his Wind Release chakra and a chakra-metal kunai.
However, in the next moment, with a loud crack, Danzo's chakra-infused kunai shattered. He stared in shock, unable to believe it.
"How can it be this strong?"
In the next instant, Susano'o's massive hand grabbed Danzo and crushed him, sending blood splattering everywhere.
"Sasuke!"
From a distance, Naruto prepared to rush in to help, but Kakashi stopped him.
"Naruto! This is Sasuke's fight!"
"But Kakashi-sensei, I have to help Sasuke! He's fighting alone..." Naruto's stubbornness was evident as he ignored Kakashi's words.
"Enough, Naruto!"
For the first time, Kakashi showed anger, startling Naruto. Kakashi's grave expression left Naruto speechless.
"Naruto, don't act recklessly!"
Shikamaru quickly stepped in to restrain Naruto, speaking in a low voice about the importance of this battle for Sasuke.
"Naruto! This is Sasuke's fight. It's his chance to prove himself and regain everyone's trust after being away from Konoha for four years.
Moreover, Danzo's Sharingan-filled arm is tied to the Uchiha clan's massacre. If you interfere now, you'll only enrage Sasuke!"
Hearing Shikamaru's explanation, Naruto reluctantly clenched his fist in frustration.
"Damn it! Then we should at least be ready to step in! We can't let Sasuke get hurt!"
Naruto's stubbornness persisted, even as Shikamaru sighed. This was going to be a long day.
Nara Shikamaru sighed helplessly and shook his head, while Hatake Kakashi secretly felt a headache. How did Naruto end up like this?
If there were no comparisons, Naruto's flaws could sometimes be overlooked due to his immense potential and power. However, when compared to others who had even greater strength, Naruto's power became less significant, and his many flaws became glaringly obvious.
"Haha, Kakashi, it seems like Sasuke's growth over the years has been terrifying!"
Might Guy laughed heartily. After knocking out a Root member with a whirlwind kick, he gave Kakashi a big thumbs-up, still laughing.
At the same time, the Root members flanking both sides of the bridge had all been subdued. Even the most troublesome Aburame Torune, with his poisonous insects, was captured alive by the older generation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.
Seeing that the battle around him was over and Danzo was surrounded, Kakashi breathed a quiet sigh of relief. This mission was almost guaranteed to succeed.
"Yes, I didn't expect Sasuke to even awaken these eyes," Kakashi admitted, unable to hide the shock in his heart. Not only had Sasuke's combat experience grown, but his mastery of Lightning Release chakra just now had also far exceeded Kakashi's expectations.
Around them, the Konoha shinobi blocked all retreat routes, watching the battle at the bridge with astonishment.
Everyone unanimously decided to let Sasuke face Danzo. After all, Danzo's arm full of Sharingan was a blood debt tied to the Uchiha massacre.
"Danzo! You deserve to die!"
"Itachi left behind such a big problem!"
Shimura Danzo, enraged, unleashed all his abilities. Yet, Sasuke's face displayed a sinister, mocking smile, clearly toying with Danzo.
"The power of the Uchiha clan isn't something a thief like you can wield. Now, let me show you the might of the Uchiha!"
The next moment, the purple Susano'o on the bridge slowly dissipated. From afar, Sakura gasped in shock and shouted, "Sasuke! Don't let your guard down now!"
But in an instant, Sasuke's left Mangekyo Sharingan contracted, and black flames erupted on the bridge.
Amaterasu!
"Everyone, be careful! That's Amaterasu!"
Danzo screamed in pain as he was engulfed by the Amaterasu flames, but a moment later, his figure vanished, reappearing behind Sasuke.
"You brat! You'll pay for your arrogance!"
Danzo roared with excitement. At this close range, with the Susano'o gone, the boy couldn't possibly escape!
However, Sasuke's lips curled into a mocking smirk. In the next moment, under everyone's shocked gaze, the black flames of Amaterasu transformed into an arrow, piercing through Danzo's body from behind.
"How is this possible?!"
"That's Amaterasu's shape transformation!" Kakashi, with his sharp eyes, immediately noticed the technique and gasped in shock.
Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi!
The terrifying ability of the Mangekyo in Sasuke's right eye rendered yet another of Danzo's Sharingan useless. At the same time, Sasuke's power shocked the Konoha jonin watching the fight.
"Now, let me show you the true power of the Uchiha clan!"
With a furious roar, Sasuke quickly formed hand seals, and an enormous amount of chakra surged forth.
"This isn't good! That's a Fire Release seal! With this much chakra, everyone, be careful!"
Jiraiya immediately sensed the power of Sasuke's jutsu and shouted a warning. Sure enough, in the next instant:
Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!
In an instant, the terrifying Fire Release engulfed the entire bridge. The flames illuminated the sky, and waves of scorching heat created shockwaves that rippled outward.
The surrounding Konoha shinobi gasped in shock.
"How is this possible?!" Kiba was dumbfounded, staring at the sheer destructive power of the technique.
If the Sharingan's power had made them envious before, this terrifying Fire Release jutsu made it clear: Sasuke's power had entirely surpassed theirs.
"What an incredible Fire Release! The range is so wide that it leaves no room for Danzo to escape," Shikamaru and Neji muttered, stunned by the display of power.
"Sasuke has completely surpassed us. What kind of training has he undergone all these years?" Even Rock Lee, usually brimming with enthusiasm, was wide-eyed with shock. Unlike the others, he attributed Sasuke's strength entirely to hard work.
"Damn it, Sasuke! I won't let you leave me behind!"
Naruto, usually so carefree, couldn't hide the shock in his eyes. Yet, alongside the shock was a determined defiance—he wouldn't admit defeat!
"Danzo! You've always hidden in the shadows, like a rat afraid of the light. Even if given the chance, you could never aspire to the role of Hokage.
Everything you have now is merely the result of the corruption, selfishness, and fear of the Uchiha's power by you old relics..."
Sasuke's mocking voice echoed from within the sea of flames, filled with disdain and contempt.
At this point, the battle was one-sided.
Was Danzo weak?
The Konoha jonin all fell silent. Danzo's techniques, especially his Wind Release jutsu, could easily be considered top-tier in the ninja world. Even Might Guy, typically full of energy, now had a serious expression.
"Kakashi, Sasuke's power appears to have surpassed that of an ordinary jonin. And that's not even counting the Sharingan. At his age, this level of strength..."
A genius.
Even Might Guy couldn't help but think of this word, and Kakashi nodded solemnly in agreement.
"The chakra, techniques, and Sharingan that Sasuke has displayed have already surpassed what I, his former teacher, can offer. It seems I no longer have anything to teach him."
"This power..." Nara Shikaku, Akimichi Choza, and Yamanaka Inoichi exchanged shocked glances.
No wonder Tsunade had insisted on Uchiha Sasuke returning. With this level of power, Sasuke was undeniably a force that could rival the Three Legendary Sannin, a figure that could shake the ninja world.
Adding to this the recent reformation of Orochimaru, the three of them felt chills down their spines. It was clear now that Tsunade held absolute control over Konoha. This time, Konoha could rise again, reclaiming its position as the strongest village in the ninja world.
What worried many Jonin even more was the knowledge that Sasuke still had the Curse Mark.
From the black three-tomoe mark on Sasuke's neck, it was evident that he hadn't even used the Curse Mark's power yet. Combined with his lightning-based taijutsu, Mangekyo Sharingan, and his other abilities, Sasuke was far from showing his full strength.
Even Jiraiya, watching the battle, felt a chill run down his spine. This boy was a monster! Even with Sage Mode, Jiraiya wasn't sure how he'd fare against him.
