Danzo's figure darted swiftly through the forest of the tidal bore.
He darted through the dense forest like a ghost, exuding an extremely cold killing intent and a restless aura.
They kept searching for the faint and eerie traces of the heretical image, but strangely, the more they searched, the faster that evil power moved, and it even began to deliberately shift towards the direction of Konoha Village.
"hateful."
Danzo muttered a curse under his breath, a strong sense of unease and vigilance rising within him.
Suddenly, the surrounding air fluctuated strangely.
The ground suddenly trembled, soil and rocks churned violently, and countless jet-black, withered trees appeared like giant, overwhelming hands.
It slammed down hard on the spot where Danzo was!
Rumble!
A violent tremor and roar swept past, and Danzo quickly took several steps back, watching the scene before him warily.
Amidst the rising dust, the sinister and bizarre image of the heretical dharma was suddenly forced to appear before Danzo.
The Buddha statues at the Temple of the Fire of the Otohi exude a cold and evil aura, inspiring fear and awe in those who behold them.
Danzo slowly raised his palm, and the crimson and eerie Fugaku Mangekyou Sharingan in his palm was emitting a strange and powerful energy fluctuation.
"I've finally found you!"
Danzo's voice was low and hoarse, his tone revealing barely suppressed excitement and greed.
Just as he was about to fully activate his Sharingan to devour the statue, countless equally dark and eerie withered wood emanations suddenly surged up around the statue!
These withered trees seemed to possess their own consciousness, frantically attacking Danzo and quickly entangled in a fierce battle with his own withered tree jutsu.
Something's not right!
Danzo's heart sank suddenly as he sensed something amiss.
However, Danzo quickly regained his footing and swiftly suppressed the resistance of the heretical image with extremely domineering methods.
As the two sides continued to intertwine and entangle with the withered wood technique, the defensive forces around the statue gradually weakened.
Finally, he seized a moment of opening and rushed toward the external Dharma image with incredible speed, like a black shadow, attempting to take advantage of the opportunity to completely control its core.
However, just as Danzo was about to approach the Buddha statue, a strange change that he had not anticipated at all suddenly occurred!
"Buzz!"
A terrifying energy surge suddenly erupted from within the statue!
Immediately afterwards, a terrifying and ferocious giant hand suddenly emerged from the body of the Dharma image with extreme speed!
He grabbed Danzo by the neck tightly!
"What?!"
Danzo never expected that such a ferocious power was hidden within the Buddha image.
Instinctively, it tried to use its powerful body to withstand the opponent's attack, but at that moment, an even more bizarre and terrifying magical power suddenly gathered on that palm.
click!
With a chilling sound of bones shattering, Danzo's powerful neck was snapped in two by this sage technique!
His body stiffened and trembled incredulously before collapsing heavily to the ground, instantly losing all life.
After swiftly delivering this fatal blow, the terrifying hand quickly retracted into the outer path image, merging back into the ground and completely disappearing from sight.
Just moments later, Danzo's lifeless body on the ground suddenly erupted with a surge of energy.
Danzo, who appeared again using Izanagi...:
An unprecedented gloom and solemnity appeared in his eyes, and his face was extremely ugly.
The brief yet astonishing scene kept replaying in my mind.
The hand that reached out from inside the statue to attack him was not the power of some monster or the statue itself, but the hand of a real, living person!
The mysterious person hidden inside the statue actually possessed powerful sage magic, capable of instantly destroying his body. Moreover, the nature of that sage magic was completely different from anything he had seen before, filled with a strange and evil feeling, definitely not a power that Shinnosuke's level could control!
"Who is it? Who is hidden inside the image of Dharma?"
At that moment, Danzo realized that things were developing far beyond his control...
He initially thought he had the situation under control, but he never imagined the true mastermind was so well hidden. He had no idea of the other party's true identity or purpose, making it impossible for him to effectively retaliate or prevent any action.
In fact, he even seemed to have a deep familiarity with Danzo...
The intense pressure and sense of crisis that hand had just given him...
It made Danzo feel uneasy and wary... his heart was pounding!
The atmosphere in the Hokage's office gradually returned to calm.
Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep breath, slowly calming the turbulent emotions in his heart, and the gentle and kind expression returned to his aged face.
He raised his head, gazing at Kakashi before him, his eyes filled with deep gratitude and satisfaction:
"Kakashi, thank you... for comforting me at a time like this."
Kakashi silently met Hiruzen's gaze for a moment, sensing the unspoken heaviness and complexity in the old man's eyes, then gently lowered his head and solemnly replied:
"Lord Sandai, please take good care of yourself."
Kakashi's voice conveyed genuine and sincere concern.
He understood that the old man in front of him had carried too much on his shoulders and endured it for too long.
In the face of apocalyptic crisis, the situation is constantly changing and unpredictable. Only by protecting ourselves can we continue to safeguard hope for Konoha in the future.
Hiruzen paused slightly upon hearing this, then smiled gently and nodded lightly: "Yes, I understand, Kakashi."
Kakashi bowed slightly upon seeing this, preparing to leave the Hokage's office.
The moment he turned and took his first step, Hiruzen suddenly called out to him in a low voice from behind:
"Kakashi, wait."
Kashi turned around and saw Hiruzen gently handing him the scroll with the powerful, written character for "ninja" that he had just finished writing.
He spoke with a deep and earnest gaze:
"I'll give you this word 'patience'."
Kakashi paused for a moment, then slowly took the scroll.
The handwriting he was holding was strong and vigorous.
He raised his head, looked solemnly at Hiruzen, and slowly nodded: "Thank you, Third Hokage."
Hiruzen smiled with satisfaction and waved gently, indicating that Kakashi could leave.
He didn't say anything more, but simply watched Kakashi's figure slowly disappear outside the door.
After Kakashi's figure completely disappeared, silence returned to the Hokage's office.
A gentle blow on the candlelight lengthens the shadows.
Ninja.
It means being able to endure pain and pressure that ordinary people cannot bear, and to shoulder responsibilities and burdens that ordinary people cannot shoulder.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood alone in front of the desk, silent.
The smile remains as gentle as ever...
It makes people feel warm...
Very safe...
Safety...
