90 88. Farewell Danzo Part-2

'Purple Lightning: Chidori Raikiri'

Chirp…chi…

Purple electricity gathers in Izuna's palm and shapes in a blade. Izuna dashes towards Danzo to stab him.

Danzo has an ugly expression as he looks at Izuna.

"You have forced my hand, kid. I wanted to preserve this technique, but you forced me to use it.

'Mangekyo Sharingan'

Danzo's right eye turns into a Mangekyo Sharingan. His Mangekyo Sharingan has a two-point pinwheel pattern.

"This pattern. How come you have his Mangekyo Sharingan?"

Danzo makes a Ram seal near his right eye and yells,

'Kamiyonanayo'

Blood leaks from his right eyes and an enormous amount of chakra drain from his body. Izuna continues to dash towards Danzo and impales his heart with the Chidori.

Danzo pukes out a mouthful of blood and fell on the ground.

Izuna grabs Danzo's right eye and pulls it out.

"You have no right to possess this eye, even as a corpse."

Izuna stores the eye in a container and turns around to leave.

Stab…

A wooden pike stabs through Izuna's gut.

Argh…Barf...

Izuna pukes out a mouthful of blood and turns around. He ignores the wound and looks at the attacker.

'Wood Style: Wood Pike'

Danzo stabs Izuna's back with a wooden stake. He smiles at Izuna and tries to stab further. Izuna swings his hand and breaks the wooden stake. He pulls the stake out of his body and burns it into ashes.

Danzo jumps back and makes some unknown hand signs. The hole near his heart fills up and Danzo's right eye returns to him.

Izuna's eyes widen as he looks at Danzo.

"What? This is…"

Haha…haha…

Danzo laughs hysterically and looks at Izuna. Izuna checks his storage scroll to examine the eye. The eye in his possession fades and vanish completely.

"Izanagi, is it Izanagi? But I destroyed all of his Sharingans. Then, it must be a Genjutsu!

How come it is a genjutsu? I should be immune to genjutsu, even powerful ones unless it is his Mangekyo Ability. Let me try to dispel this genjutsu."

Izuna makes multiple hand signs and tries to dispel the genjutsu.

Danzo closes the distance again and tries to stab Izuna with a kunai. Izuna infuses chakra in his right hand. His right chakra turns metallic, and he clenches it into a fist and punches Danzo heavily.

Whoosh…Bam…

Danzo slams into a nearby wall and pukes another mouthful of blood. There is a fist-size hole in his guts.

Danzo slowly stands up and wipes away the blood from his face. He makes those unusual hand signs again, and his wound closes again. Danzo's body returns to normal.

"This…What's this? What kind of ability is this? Is this affecting my senses or is this affecting Danzo too? This ability seems similar to Izanami and Izanagi, but then again I took a hit and felt pain." Izuna analyzes the Mangekyo ability of Danzo.

His wound heals completely and Izuna prepares to launch another jutsu at Danzo while contemplating over the weird ability.

Danzo notices Izuna's regeneration and remarks,

"Oh! You heal pretty quickly, similar to Lord Hashirama. Is this Tsunade's teaching? She developed powerful medical ninjutsu and your technique resembles that. So, you have modified her technique." He concludes.

'He makes those unusual hand signs after taking a hit from me. If I completely decapitate him and prevent from forming those hand signs, will he revive?'

"Let me see if you can recover from this technique." Izuna grasps his right wrist and infuses chakra in it. His right-hand gets covered in strange markings and totems.

'Darkness Release: Blackout Rasengan'

Izuna forms a pitch-black Rasengan with sinister dark chakra.

'Release'

He throws the Rasengan towards Danzo. The Rasengan engulfs the entire body of Danzo. Danzo's entire body gets consumed by the darkness, and it leaves not even a trace of him.

"It is finally over. He won't return, right?" Izuna calms down and searches around.

Haha…Haha…

Danzo's hysterical laugh rang in Izuna's ears. He turns around to see various particles condensing together to shape into Danzo.

"You can't kill me as long as this jutsu is active. I won't die by any means. Haha…"

Izuna expression turns cold, and he shouts,

"Then I will kill you as many times as you respawn. Let's see what will last longer, your technique, or my chakra."

Izuna makes some hand signs and disappears from his position.

'Swift Release: Sonic Steps'

'Light Release: Light Sabre'

He pierces Danzo's body again. Danzo smirks and punches Izuna. Izuna jumps back and avoids the punch.

Danzo's body recovers again. Danzo makes those unusual hand signs again.

"These hand signs, what's their purpose. It seems like he is resetting something. Resetting… resetting…wait a sec, it looks like a time loop.

Could it be he is manipulating his own time and set it in a loop? Izanagi allows a user to turn reality into illusion and change their destiny whereas Izanami allows the user to form a loop of thoughts and trap the target in constant turns of events.

It sets a predetermined destiny for them, and it forces the target to accept the predestined outcome to dispel the jutsu.

Danzo's jutsu seems to be a mix of both Izanami and Izanagi. But who is the target? Is it Danzo or is it only me or both of us are the targets?" Izuna tries to figure out Danzo's jutsu.

He continues to fend off Danzo's attack as he speculates the nature of jutsu. Danzo continues to die and resurrect again and again.

'It's not looking good. This kid has massive reserves of chakra. He can continue to fight me as long as he wishes. I used 'Kamiyonanayo' as a last resort to deal with him, but he is more powerful than my expectations.

I have no choice but to flee. The vision in my right eye is lost permanently. Kagami, your Mangekyo lasted me long enough. It was wise of me to rob your grave and extract your Sharingan. Too bad I can't use this power anymore.

I have to pay a price, every time I use this jutsu. Thanks to First Hokage's cells, I could survive.' Danzo sighs in loss.

"Found it. I have found a loophole in this technique. Since it is a time-related technique, then I can override this loop with my time manipulation."

Izuna activates his Mangekyo Sharingan and yells,

'Amenominakanushi'

Blood trickles from Izuna's left eye. The space-time in the area warps in.

Haah…

Izuna riles up his Chakra and forces the time loop to collapse.

Crack…Crack…

Various cracks appear in the surrounding space as Izuna continues to rile chakra. The cracks magnify as the surrounding space continues to crumble.

Shatter….

With a loud noise, the surrounding space shatters, and the time loop breaks.

Argh…ugh…

Danzo pukes out a large mouthful of blood and collapses on the ground. All of his hairs turn white and his body shrivels and many wrinkles appear on his body. He lays helplessly on the ground.

The backlash took a huge toll on his body.

Cough…cough…

Danzo coughs and looks towards Izuna. Fear and despair is evident in his eyes.

"Huh! I never imagined you could make such an expression. The respected and wise elder of Konoha is afraid. You possess the eyes of Kagami Uchiha, tell me how you got them?"

Izuna riles up his chakra and pressures Danzo. Danzo doesn't respond.

"You have soiled the honor of one of my ancestors. Those eyes, you aren't worthy of them."

Izuna slowly walks up to Danzo and rips off the right eye.

"I will take them back. I don't want to even see your face again. You don't even deserve an afterlife, I will seal you for eternity."

'Limbo Hengoku'

Izuna activates his Mangekyo ability and summons a Limbo. The Limbo makes some hand signs and clasps its hand,

'Dead Demon Consuming Seal'

A large Shinigami appears behind Limbo. The Shinigami extends its hand and stabs through the chest of Limbo. The hand continues towards Danzo and grabs his body and pulls out his soul.

"No…stop it. You can't do it. Don't!"

Danzo struggles to get free. But all of his efforts seems futile. The Shinigami pulls Danzo's soul out of his body and seals it. Danzo's body lifelessly drops on the ground.

"Now suffer in endless darkness for all eternity."

Izuna clasps his hand again. The Shinigami vanishes and the Limbo fades away.

'I won't be able to use him for a while, but I have dealt with one of my troubles and even harvested a reward. Kamiyonanayo! Grandpa Kagami possessed quite a powerful technique, but it's requirement and aftereffects are way too severe. Well, it justifies the tradeoff. I have to awaken Rinnegan together with 'Six Paths Sage Mode' to use it freely.'

Izuna looks at Danzo's corpse. He pulls out the right arm and makes some hand signs,

'Inferno Release: Searing Flames'

White flames cover Danzo's body and turn it into ashes. Izuna walks towards the Root Anbus and manipulates their memories.

'I can only do this much for you. Find your place in society on your own. It's time for me to start my journey.'

Izuna walks out of the Root Headquarters and disappears into the forest.

------------------

"Interesting…Very Interesting…."

After a while,

A crack opens in Space, and a cloaked figure walks out of it. He appears at the place of the battle and looks at the destruction.

"Did he honestly think true death exists for us Soul Clan members?"
