Danzo's Anger

"Whether dead or alive, make sure he doesn't escape." 

Greed flashed through Danzo's remaining eye as he witnessed the destructive power of Yato's Kekkei Genkai. He desired Yato's cells as much as he desired Shisui's Sharingan. 

Upon hearing Danzo's orders, Maru from the Aburame clan hesitated to speak. The insects he controlled kept alerting him that the masked enemy in front of him was extremely dangerous. They warned him to be on guard and to escape!

Many other Root ninjas shared the same concerns as Maru.

The current situation wasn't that they didn't want to kill the enemy, but the opponent in front of them possessed a strange ninjutsu that rendered their shurikens and jutsu helpless against him. He was able to control and attack them with kunai and shurikens. 

So the only way for them to fight this enemy was to get closer, as he seemed to be inexperienced in taijutsu. However, if they charged blindly, wouldn't they be offering themselves into the enemy's hands once he used that strange ninjutsu? 

There would be many casualties! 

But they couldn't ignore Danzo's orders, as they were absolute. Otherwise, they would die if he activated the curse seal.

In the end, Maru decided to obey Danzo's will and didn't say anything, even if it meant countless casualties. 

They were the darkness of Konoha, disposable tools under Danzo.

"Yato, pay attention to your chakra consumption. They want to fight you to the death and wear you down with sheer numbers." Without Riku needing to say anything, Yato already knew what they were trying to do when he saw the Root ninjas rushing towards him recklessly.

Although his chakra and ninjutsu had increased fivefold in power, and he could still exert extremely strong taijutsu moves using a small amount of chakra, he wasn't Uzumaki Naruto. Without a tailed beast as a backup, once his chakra was exhausted, he would be finished.

Thinking of this, he held his knife in a reverse grip and suddenly slashed at the air. 

Buzz! 

The ninja sword in his hand made a buzzing sound as the chakra in his body turned into a purple gravity wave and shot forward, knocking away all the shuriken and ninjutsu aimed at him and rebounding them. 

"Disperse!" 

Aburame Maru was the first to move. The enemy used this move quite a lot to fight back, so he had a little understanding of this strange ninjutsu.

In close combat, they would be restricted by his peculiar ninjutsu, similar to the Tsuchikage technique, and be slaughtered like livestock.

In ranged combat, with just one wave, all their attacks would be returned by the opponent, whether it was shurikens or ninjutsu. The opponent's ninjutsu and Kekkei Genkai were flawless, capable of both offense and defense, making him extremely difficult to deal with. But now that Danzo had given the order, they could only face the bullet and aim to kill him here!

Crack!Hmm? Yato wanted to shoot again, but the sword in his hand couldn't withstand the heavy gravity and broke into pieces. 

"Fire style: great fireball." 

"Fire style: great fireball." 

Yato quickly reacted as two fireballs approached. Using 'Shave', he stepped on the ground dozens of times in quick succession, causing him to vanish from his place and appear twenty meters away, narrowly avoiding the second round of attacks. 

"After all, it is just a common sword and can't withstand the power of the devil fruit!" Yato looked at the broken hilt and sighed. This is why he always wanted to find a good sword. Although the ninja swords in this world are of various types and exquisitely made, there are few that can fully withstand the power of gravity.

Of course, he could have just purchased a perfect sword through the talent exchange system, but he didn't want to waste his precious points on something he could obtain in this world. 

Throwing away the completely useless ninja sword, he pulled up his sleeves to unseal the wrist guard. With a "bang," a brand new ninja sword appeared in his hand. 

The Root Ninjas attacked him, and he fought and retreated, quickly scanning the surrounding environment. 

"It's here." 

Suddenly, he stopped and swung his sword at an ordinary, large tree. There was a thin, hard-to-find line connecting the surroundings. It was one of the traps he had prepared.

"Captain, look!" 

After Yato stopped, the Root Ninjas also stopped. They had to surround the enemy, which would take time. 

Suddenly, a ninja wearing a Tengu mask pointed around and reported in a low voice to Aburame Maru. 

"What are you looking at?" Maru was in no mood to pay attention to him.

"Something fell from the sky; it seemed to be a shuriken. No, it seems to be a kunai."

"Idiot, that's both a shuriken and a kunai!" Maru immediately got furious and hurriedly shouted, "Scatter quickly!" 

But it was too late. The shadow clones that had been hiding in the dark appeared at that time, standing in the southeast, northwest, and northeast, forming a square formation to surround the Root Ninjas. 

The four shadow clones spoke together, simultaneously forming seals to circulate the chakra in their bodies and prevent the Root Ninjas from escaping. 

"Ninjutsu, Tenfold Gravity Barrier!" 

"Ninjutsu, Tenfold Gravity Barrier!" 

"Ninjutsu, Tenfold Gravity Barrier!" 

"Ninjutsu, Tenfold Gravity Barrier!" 

"Damn, it's a trap! Disperse quickly!" 

The root ninjas were terrified as they looked at the overwhelming thousands of shurikens and kunai, roaring in fear. 

But it was too late. The ninjutsu was completed as the four shadow clones formed seals and activated their chakras. 

Buzz... 

Invisible energy rumbled and sweated the area, pressing the root ninjas to the ground.

"Shit, this weird gravity again." 

It wasn't that they couldn't move, but their movements were as slow as snails compared to the flying hidden weapons, making it impossible to avoid them. 

Tenfold gravity suppression is the maximum force that ordinary people can theoretically withstand. Any higher could harm their bodies and endanger their lives.

Of course, they were all Root Ninjas, the backbone of Konoha, and naturally much stronger than ordinary people in all aspects.

But they were still too slow to avoid the flying weapons in time, and all they could do was watch as thousands of Shurikens got closer. 

Many ninjas outside the trap had red eyes, performing hand seals to use ninjutsu or grabbing hidden weapons to attack the four shadow clones in the square formation.

They understood that breaking these four shadow clones was the only way to make the terrible gravity magnetic field disappear, giving their trapped companions a chance to escape.

The four shadow clones ignored the flying weapons and ninjutsu, remaining connected to each other and continuing to suppress the ninjas in the trap. 

"Go to hell!" 

A cold and ruthless voice echoed. Yato gripped the knife tightly and slashed through the air. Suddenly, the speed of the falling kunai and shuriken increased, resembling the scythe of the Grim Reaper harvesting the lives of the ninjas below. 

Puff! 

The horrifying bloodshed overwhelmed the Root Ninjas, who were unable to escape the trap. They were simultaneously pierced by hidden weapons, screaming in agony.

The horrible pain was as if hundreds of killer bees were stabbing a person all at once, piercing every part of their body, including their eyes, ears, mouth, nose, hands, and feet. 

Scarlet blood spilled all over the ground, forming a pool of blood.

"Asshole, no one can save you today, even if you escape to the end of the world!" 

In the distance, Danzo was already consumed by anger. Unable to suppress his emotions, he roared at Yato. 

Today, all the ninjas who accompanied him were the elite of the Root, his exclusive troops, and his important bargaining chips for the future fight for the position of Hokage. 

More importantly, these ninjas were all loyal to him and not under the control of the Third Hokage. Normally, the death of one of them would be enough to break his heart and make him desire to tear the murderer into pieces.

But now, at least a dozen Root Ninjas have been mercilessly ambushed and killed by Yato, leaving no intact bodies behind. Blood flowed on the ground like a river. 

"Go to hell." 

At this moment, Danzo forgot about Shisui and roared, forming six seals and spitting out a wind blade from his mouth. 

This was Wind Style: Vacuum Jade, capable of cutting through trees, boulders, and even steel, killing people invisibly. 

Without changing his expression, Yato swung his sword again, directly slashing at the sharp wind blade.

Boom! 

In the air, two invisible energies collided violently, and the strong shockwaves blew the dirt and fallen leaves around them.

Ultimately, the unstoppable wind blade failed to cut through the gravity wave slashed by Yato and was completely deflected.

However, its target was not the furious Danzo but Shisui, who sneakily tried to escape. 

He quickly dodged, understanding that this was Yato's warning. He wanted him to help deal with Danzo instead of running away. 

The two seemed to have developed an unspoken understanding and reached an agreement to repel the root before considering their next move. 

But at this moment, Shisui felt uneasy. The other party seemed prepared, setting up so many dangerous traps. 

The previous scene was too shocking. In an instant, more than a dozen elite ninjas were shot and killed. It felt like a nightmare, reminiscent of the battlefields of the Third World War! 

"Damn it, you deserve to die!" 

The root was not without mercy. Their long-term experiences of life and death had created strong bonds among these people.

Now, witnessing their comrades killed in such a manner, their anger was ignited. They vowed to kill Yato here to honor the souls of their comrades who had been mercilessly ambushed and killed.
