87 86. Loose Ends part-2
Izuna prepares to Open Eights gates.
"Stop him… we can't allow him to complete his technique."
The Leader of the team shouts. All the Root Anbus throws multiple kunais and shuriken towards Izuna.
"Haaah… Gate of Opening… Gate of Healing… Gate of Life… Gate of Pain… Gate of Limit… Gate of View… Open!"
Izuna crosses his hands in front of his hand and opens six gates simultaneously.
A green aura surrounds Izuna, and it flares his chakra up to very high intensity. The opening of the sixth gate releases a shock wave and repels all the incoming kunais and shurikens.
Haaah…
Izuna disappears from his spot and reappears in front of a Root member. He clenches his fist and uses the Chakra strengthening technique and punches the chest of the Root shinobi.
Crack…
The ribs of the Anbu shatter and his body is flung across the forest by the impulse of the punch.
Boom…
One of the root ninjas throws a paper bomb towards Izuna. Izuna disappears again and reappears in front of the ninja. He grabs the neck of the ninja and slams him on the ground.
A small crater at the point of impact, the fate of the root ninja unknown.
"Guess I will add more power output."
Izuna crosses his hands and yells,
'Power Release: Chakra cloak'
A dark red cloak made of lightning and fire cloaks Izuna. His muscles expand from the stimulus of lightning. Lightning flickers around his eyes and Izuna disappear once again.
Swish… boom…
His speed releases a sonic boom, and the ground explodes under his foot. Only a dark red flash could be seen as it wreaks havoc where ever it passes by.
Boom…
Izuna punches one of the Root ninjas. The poor Root ninja explodes into a shower of blood and flesh from the punch. Izuna disappears again and punches another root ninja to a pulp.
Multiple Root anbus makes many hand signs and claps their hands,
'Co-operation Jutsu: Tormenting Thunderstorm'
All the releases lightning chakra towards the sky. The lightning chakra condenses into a thick bolt of lightning and attacks Izuna. The bolt of lightning engulfs Izuna.
"Did we get him?"
'Dark Release: Chakra Absorption'
Two dark red overlapping Diamond marks appear on Izuna's right palm. Izuna absorbs the entire lightning co-operation jutsu through the mark.
"You can have it back."
He directs his palm towards the Root ninjas,
'Dark Release: Chakra expulsion'
The thick bolt of lightning expels from the diamond markings and zaps many Root members to death.
"The target has a technique to absorb over jutsu. Switch to kenjutsu and Taijutsu." The Leader orders his subordinates.
Unfazed by the death of their comrades, the rest of the Root shinobis surround Izuna and throws multiple kunais tied with the Paper bomb at him.
'Magnet Release: Reverse Polarity'
Izuna repels the kunais and shurikens back to the Root shinobis.
Boom….
The paper bombs explode on the Root shinobis, killing them in process.
"The target can use multiple Kekkai Genkai Nature Transformations. His threat level has increased to S-Rank. We need to warn Danzo-sama about this matter. One of you retreat quickly."
The Leader orders the Root members.
'Power Release: Judgement Spear'
Izuna condenses the power release chakra into his hand and shapes it in the form of a spear. He aims it towards the running Root ninjas and locks on his Chakra signature.
'Release'
Boom…
The spear travels at supersonic speed, devastating nearby trees. It pierces through the running Root ninja.
"Mission Failure… I report mission failure. The target is stronger than expected. We have to retreat and report to Danzo-sama."
The Leader orders his troops and turns around and dashes off toward Root.
"What's the hurry? Since you have come already don't leave without accepting my services."
'Swift Release: God Speed'
Izuna appears in front of the Leader and grabs him by the neck.
"No matter what you do, I won't reveal any information regarding my mission to you."
The leader struggles in Izuna's grip.
"There is no need for you to reveal anything, I will extract the information on my own."
Izuna activates his Mangekyo Sharingan to extract information from the Leader.
Click…
The leader clicks his tongue and pulls out his chest garment and triggers a sealing formula.
'Reverse Four Symbol Sealing Seal'
Four sealing symbols are released from his chest and form a large, black sphere around him. The seal starts to suck nearby objects inside him and seal them inside.
Izuna pushes back the Anbu and escapes from the sealing formula with his speed.
"Guess I have to figure out everything from Danzo himself." Izuna picks up the corpse of the leader and runs towards the Anbu headquarter.
"It is time to cut some loose ends. He is the main perpetrator behind the Uchiha Massacre and various other events. I don't want such tragedies to happen again. I will deal with him before I set out on my journey."
---------------
Inside the Root Headquarters,
Danzo moves back and forth while contemplating over some matters.
"The vision in my right eye is fading away. I need a substitute for my right eye. My initial plan was to retrieve Sharingan from Kakashi Hatake, but Sakumo is too much for me to handle."
Danzo touches his right eye and removes the bandages around it. His vision is a little blurry in the right eye.
"That Uchiha kid with the moniker of 'Silent Shinigami' perfectly fits my criteria. His Sharingan is mutated one and as far as I can see through his achievements, the Sharingan has no side-effects."
Danzo picks up a file with the picture and information of Izuna on it.
'Name: Izuna Uchiha…
Age: 13 years
Rank: A-rank threat level
Special traits: Possess a special Mutated Sharingan
Achievements:- Graduated from the academy at the age of 6. Promoted to chunnin at the age of 8. Had extraordinary achievements in the Third Shinobi War and got a moniker of 'Silent Shinigami'. Joined Anbu at the age of 9. Got promoted to Vice-Captain in a year and another promotion to Captain in another two years.
Missions: 30 S-Rank missions with a team, 68 A-rank missions, 79 B-Rank missions, 23 C-Rank missions, and 36 D-Rank missions.'
Danzo throws the file back on the table and ponders.
"The kid just left the village on a long-term mission, and it is a perfect time to strike and take his Sharingan. I can later manipulate the news to declare him as an MIA.
My plan to cause unrest between Uchiha and the village is bearing some fruits. Hiruzen's incompetency is harming the village. I almost succeeding in assassinating him. That damn traitor Kinoe revealed the information to Hiruzen.
I saved him from Orochimaru's experiment. Gave him the freedom and personally trained him. This is how he repays me. A counterfeit will always be a counterfeit."
Danzo looks at his left shoulder and sighs.
'Luckily, I could make some use of Orochimaru. His ambitions and intentions had grown way too much. I wasn't able to control him anymore.
He has become a threat to me. So, I have to deal with him. And what better way than to reveal the wrongdoings of his student to Hiruzen. But that Hiruzen is too soft. He let go of an S-Rank criminal and a potential threat to the village. '
Danzo clenches his fist and scoffs at the incompetency of Hiruzen.
'Orochimaru has complete intel on the power structure of the village, including Anbu and Root. I have to hunt him down. That recruit Kabuto Yakushi will be the perfect candidate. He just needs some training and he will be up for the job.'
Danzo sits on his Hokage chair and plans his next step.
'After I acquire the Sharingan, my next would be the manipulation of Nine-tails. With the power of nine-tails under my control, I can easily gain the position of Hokage.
Then my quest to make Konoha the most powerful Village will start. It won't be long before I become the sole ruler of all nations.'
Kuku… Haha…
Danzo laughs hysterically as he lost in his fantasies.
Boom… boom…
Multiple explosion occurs near the gate of Root headquarters. The sound of the explosion breaks Danzo's daydream. He snaps at one of his subordinate and orders him,
"Check the reason of this commotion… Who dare to cause such a ruckus at Root's headquarters… Immediately capture and neutralize the source of trouble, no matter who it is."
"Yes, Danzo-sama." The Anbu member bows to Danzo and rush to order other Root members.
"Such blatant disrespect. Looks like the intruder takes me as a soft persimmon to dare cause trouble at my turf. I don't fear any consequences, with such power in my grasp, how can I allow anyone to squash my prestige. I will personally head out to face the intruder."
Danzo wears his combat outfit and gets ready to engage the intruder.
