Chapter 721: Danzo’s Death


    Danzo may have lost his vision, but he can still perceive the chakra fluctuations in the vicinity.


    When he felt high-intensity chakra fluctuations caused by the Truth-Seeking Orbs floating around Kuroto, he suddenly understood that Kuroto might not let him go alive, therefore he said, “I used to think that Hyuga n is nothing more than a useful shinobi who would never be able to be anything beyond their mediocre levels.


    For a monster like you to appear in the Hyuga n I really find it unbelievable… Are you really Hyuga?” He asked, but without waiting for Kuroto to answer, he continued, “In the final analysis, it doesn’t really matter whether you are even a Hyuga or not… what I am really impressed from all that you have done is despite bing such an unfathomable existence, you still have the consciousness of a Shinobi… you are able to not let arrogance affect you and can maintain vignce in your heart… Hyuga Kuroto, losing to you, I don’t feel wronged…” He paused here, and then roared, “However, I am also Shimura Danzo… Konoha’s Godaime Hokage and the leader of Root! If I am going to die here… I am going to at least take you with me!”


    As he shouted, suddenly blood on his body flowed like ink and took the form of Fuinjutsu symbols.


    Kuroto looked at the Fuinjutsu symbols and muttered disdainfully, “Only Reverse Tetragram Seal? Do you really think that you can seal me… a Fuinjutsu Expert with this Fuinjutsu?” then without waiting for Danzo’s response, he waved his hand lightly, controlling two Truth-Seeking Orbs to fly out and hit Danzo before he couldpletely activate ‘Reverse Tetragram Seal’.


    <em>Bang! Bang!</em>


    Low muffled sound echoed in the surroundings as Danzo copsed on the ground, the ce on his body where the two Truth-Seeking Orbs hit him was pierced and the surrounding flesh and blood instantly became ashen.


    Needless to say, Danzo can’t resist the decaying effect of Truth-Seeking Orbs.


    *Cough Cough* Copsed on the ground, Danzo coughed out blood as the symbols of the ‘Reverse Tetragram Seal’ disappeared from his body.


    Looking at Danzo’s state, Kuroto couldn’t help but sigh, ‘The vitality provided by Shodaime Hokage-sama’s cells is really miraculous…” Danzo’s entire body is decayed from the inside, there are also two holes in his chest, yet he hasn’t died.


    *Cough-cough* After coughing out blood, Danzo who was lying on the ground said, “Hyuga Kuroto… do you really think that if you kill me, no one will know your secrets?”


    Kuroto was a little interested in what Danzo had to say at this time and decided to y along for a while, “What do you mean?”


    Danzo felt like Kuroto has taken the bait, and said quickly, “You should be aware of the Edo Tensei Jutsu… I know so many secrets of Konoha, and even my strength is quite good in other’s eyes… I am certain, someone will definitely try to revive me using Edo Tensei in the future… if that were to happen, you and your Amatsukami Organization’s secrets will definitely be exposed to the entire Shinobi World!”


    Hearing Danzo’s warning, Kuroto became silent… he wasn’t afraid, rather, he felt like he is looking at an idiot.


    Danzo obviously didn’t know Kuroto’s thoughts, he felt as if Kuroto is fooled and decided to strike while the iron is still hot, “I can assure you to keep all your secrets, as long as… as long as you are willing to let me go… Don’t kill me, and I promise to never reveal anything about you or your Amatsukami Organization to the Shinobi World. You people can continue to hide in Konoha and can continue to do whatever you want; I will say nothing… just… just let me go!”


    Hearing Danzo’s words, Kuroto really felt pity, “Shimura Danzo… you may not have officially be Konoha’s Hokage, you were still a temporary recement… don’t you feel embarrassed begging like this, or have you given up even thest bit of your dignity?”


    *Cough-cough* Danzo coughed out blood, and shouted in anger, “Embarrassment or dignity is not important… I just can’t die here… I still need to revive the vige to its glory… without me, Konoha will never be able to be strong! How can I die here!?”


    “Hehe… do you think that as long as you continue to say ‘for the sake of the vige’ you can fool anyone including yourself? And do you really think Konoha needs you? In my opinion, Konoha is better off without a moth like you who does nothing but eats Konoha’s vitality from the inside.” Kuroto said with chuckled, and added, “Where were you during the Kyuubi’s attack when Yondaime Hokage-sama and his wife died? Where were you when the Akatsuki attacked Konoha and ttened up the entire vige? All that time, you remained hidden and watched as Konoha was destroyed time and time again, too afraid to do anything… Let alone a former elder, you didn’t even do your duty as a Konoha Shinobi… and you talk about reviving Konoha to its glory?”


    “It doesn’t matter what you think… only I can revive Konoha… only I can…!” Danzo said this and wanted to continue, but this time, Kuroto didn’t give Danzo any chance and attacked Danzo with all the Truth-Seeking Orbs at once.


    <em>Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!</em>


    Immediately, Danzo’s entire body was filled with several holes and turned into ash.


    After finishing up Danzo, Kuroto looked at his ash lying on the ground and muttered in disdain, “I have never seen such a delusional person before.” Then shaking his head, he dispersed all the Truth-Seeking Orbs and released the Tenseigan Chakra Mode. After that, he turned around and started to walk away.


    As for Danzo’sst threat? Kuroto didn’t take that to heart at all. Obviously, Kuroto would be careful and make sure to not make such a low-level mistake… when he dealt with Danzo, he also destroyed the other party’s spiritual body… With this the chapter of Danzo hase to an end, now he will nevere back to the Shinobi World, not even as an Edo Tensei.


    With that done, Kuroto scanned the ind with his Tenseigan, and after making sure that everything was clear, he flew high into the sky while carrying Tsukihi’s body and sunk the entire Toto Ind into the ocean using a powerful Shinra Tensei.


    Next, he flew to Yagura’s side who has been diligently covering the surroundings in an illusion mist all this while, and instructed him, “I have killed Shimura Danzo, although that’s done, however, I don’t want the unrted party to know that it was done by Amatsukami… so, you arrange some shinobi from your vige and lead them to pursue Danzo who has fled in the direction of Land of Jungle via the Land of Ocean after crossing the Nagi Inds… Create an illusion of him still being alive and fleeing in the Land of Jungle…ter, we will spread that Shimura Danzo has disappeared in the deserts of the Land of Wind.”


    Yagura couldn’t understand why Kuroto wanted to create such an illusion, but he nodded, “All right, I will arrange it.”


    With Yagura’s nod, Kuroto nodded and then disappeared into the skies.


    Yagura looked into the sky as Kuroto disappeared, then his attention turned towards the huge wave caused by the sinking of Toto Ind.


    By now, Toto Ind hadpletely sunk into the ocean, and along with the ind, all the traces of the battle on Toto Ind also disappeared.


    …


    <em>Boom!</em>


    Thunder and Lightning rumbled in the sky as Terumi Mei and her party rushed toward Toto Ind.


    Despite the heavy rain and high waves in the sea, they weren’t stopping or slowing down and rushed full speed ahead.


    At this time, their hearts were heavy… When they became aware of Danzo’s actions on the maind, everyone, especially Mei became worried about the safety of Yondaime Mizukage.


    Her current mood was just like the gloomy and grey sky, filled with worry, as she determined herself, “I will never allow the repetition of the same mistakes! Kirigakure can’t be someone else’s tool again!”


    After a few hours of travel, the party finally arrived at the location where Toto Ind is located, however, they were confused to find nothing but the boundless sea in front of them. There was no sign of Toto Ind! For a moment, many even wondered whether they have strayed from their path ande to the wrong location because of the heavy storm.


    While everyone was confused, at this time, a giant turtle appeared out of the ocean, and as Yagura walked out of its mouth, he said to the Kirigakure shinobi, “There is no need to search for it… the Toto Ind has sunk.”


    “What?!” everyone was stunned. Mei quickly recovered from the shock, and hurriedly asked, “Yagura-sama… are you… are you all right?!”


    Yagura nodded with a heavy expression, “Yes… just a little tired… but it’s a pity that Danzo managed to escape.”


    At the mention of Danzo, Mei’s hair stood up, she instructed the sensor shinobi beside her to check Yagura’s state while she personally asked him, “Yes… Mizukage-sama… what happened to Danzo?”


    Yagura step-by-step walked downward while exining, “Danzo wanted to control me… but because of Isobu’s interference, he failed… after that, I fought with Danzo, however, he didn’t seem to be able to disy all his strength because of injuries and chakra depletion… It also felt as if he was afraid of someoneing after him… In that state, our battle continued but after a while, he might have felt that he won’t be able to control me, so he gave up on that idea and left after trying to kill me by destroying Toto Ind. Again, I was able to survive because of Isobu, so there is nothing to worry about.”


    While Yagura exined, Mei nced at the Sensor shinobi beside her.


    The sensor shinobi lightly nodded, implying that they don’t have to worry about Yagura being under someone else’s control.


    After this confirmation, Mei breathes a sigh of relief, as they dealt with the aftermath of the destruction of Toto Ind.<!--
