Naruto: I'm Nine-Tails and My Host is Kushina-Chapter 153

Danzo had always been a man of shadows, lurking in the darkness of Konoha, pulling the strings from behind. No one truly knew how many shameful acts he had committed in secrecy. A man like him—cunning, ruthless—could never be trusted.

Fourth Mizukage Yagura was well aware of this.

Yet, he had allowed Danzo to come here and negotiate. But with conditions. Danzo was only permitted to bring two subordinates, no more. Yagura had honestly expected the old war hawk to refuse, yet here he was—arriving with just two men. A rare display of trust.

Perhaps cooperation wasn't impossible after all.

"Danzo, speak. What's your plan?" Yagura asked, his tone laced with interest.

Danzo's single exposed eye gleamed. "Simple. Tsunade sits on the Hokage's seat. I know Konoha's weaknesses better than anyone. When the time comes, my forces will strike from within. You'll attack from outside. Overthrowing her won't be difficult."

Yagura was no fool. He knew Danzo's reach extended deep into Konoha's veins. If there was anyone who could dismantle the village from the inside, it was him.

Still, trust was another matter entirely.

Yagura scoffed, leaning forward. "Danzo, why should I believe you? Give me a reason. Give me collateral."

A slow smirk crept onto Danzo's wrinkled face. "Very well... this should be enough."

With a flick of his bandages, his Sharingan flared to life. Three Tomoe spun rapidly, radiating ominous energy.

Yagura's instincts flared. He felt the distortion in his chakra, the subtle pull of an illusion. The killing intent seeping from Danzo was undeniable.

"Tch, still playing tricks?" Yagura sneered.

Genjutsu? Laughable. As a Jinchūriki, such illusions were useless against him.

"Ao, Raiga, handle them!" Yagura barked.

Mist Shinobi surrounded Danzo and his men instantly, weapons drawn, forming a deadly circle. But Danzo—calm, calculating—simply chuckled.

"As expected of Mizukage... you aren't so easily swayed."

Yagura cracked his knuckles. "I'll deal with the old bastard myself. The two pawns are yours."

"Understood, Mizukage-sama!" his men roared.

Yagura had almost entertained the idea of working with Danzo. Almost. But Danzo's heart still belonged to Konoha. His attempt at an illusion was proof of that. He had underestimated Yagura.

A mistake he would regret.

"The Butcher is excited to test a Kage in combat for the first time!" Danzo said, his lips curling into a grin.

Then, he unwrapped his bandages fully, revealing an arm covered in Sharingan.

Dozens of crimson eyes stared hungrily. A grotesque sight. Even the hardened Mist Shinobi flinched at the sheer monstrosity of it.

Yagura, however, merely sneered. "You really are a disgusting old man. To go this far for power..."

Danzo had butchered the Uchiha for these stolen eyes. Typical Konoha. Always talking about peace while rotting from within.

But that was Konoha's problem.

"Die, old man!" Yagura roared.

He weaved signs rapidly—Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet!

A massive dragon surged from behind him, its fanged maw roaring as it lunged at Danzo.

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

Danzo countered with a powerful gust of wind, sending the water dragon spiraling. The storm of wind didn't stop, barreling straight toward Yagura.

"Hmph. You've got some tricks, old man."

Yagura didn't move. He had no reason to.

Dark red chakra oozed from his skin—the Tailed Beast's shroud forming around him. The violent winds slashed at him, but he remained unscathed.

Then, in a blur, he moved.

A crimson blur streaked toward Danzo.

Before the war hawk could react—

Boom!

Yagura's chakra-clad fist slammed into Danzo's chest, sending him crashing into the distant rock wall. The impact split the elder's body in half.

Blood splattered across the battlefield.

Yagura scoffed. "The so-called elite of Konoha? Pathetic."

He hadn't even unleashed the full power of Three-Tails yet, and Danzo had already crumbled. Laughable.

"Tch. I don't know where he got the guts to challenge me..."

Yagura turned away, disinterested. The battle had ended before it even began.

Or so he thought.

A chilling voice slithered through the air. "If one isn't enough, how about another?"

Yagura froze.

That voice—

Impossible.

He turned sharply. Danzo stood behind him, completely unharmed.

Yagura's eyes widened. "What?! You were just—"

He snapped his gaze to the corpse. It was still there. Yet Danzo was here, alive.

No. This was no clone. No illusion.

Yagura's stomach twisted.

"This isn't possible."

"Oh, but it is." Danzo's voice oozed smugness.

Yagura's instincts screamed at him. Move. Now!

But before he could react—a cold hand clamped onto his back.

"Consider this payback for that kick."

Danzo's foot crashed into Yagura's spine, sending him flying. He crashed through several trees before slamming into the ground, groaning.

"Mizukage-sama!" his men cried, rushing forward.

Yagura cursed under his breath. Even with his Tailed Beast's chakra, he had felt that one.

As he tried to stand—he froze.

His body refused to move.

Black marks spread across his limbs.

"What... is this?!" Yagura gritted his teeth.

A sealing technique. A powerful one.

"Tch! When did you—?!"

Then it hit him. The moment Danzo touched him.

"Damn it!"

Danzo chuckled darkly. "You should've been more careful, Mizukage. You're nothing but a caged beast now."

"Protect Mizukage-sama! Don't let this bastard get near him!" Ao shouted.

Mist Shinobi formed a protective barrier around their fallen leader. But Yagura knew.

This was unacceptable.

His fury ignited. "You... dared to trap me?!"

His rage exploded. A monstrous wave of chakra burst from his body.

The black marks started to recede, burned away by raw power.

Then—

A wicked grin split Yagura's face.

A dark red aura engulfed him, his form distorting. Three massive tails emerged from his back, swaying violently.

Danzo's smirk faltered.

"Oh? Now... we might have a real fight."

Yagura's blood-red eyes burned with hatred. "Now, you're in trouble."

The battlefield trembled.

This was no longer a battle between men.

This was war.
