Danzo's Monster (Izumi Vs Sasuke)

As Izumi proceeded towards the main chamber of the mansion, his path fraught with relentless encounters with zombies, he couldn't help but voice his frustration. "Damn it, there are lots of them," he muttered, each crush of a zombie emphasizing the severity of the situation.

Akane, observing Izumi's transformation, couldn't resist questioning, "What did Aqua do to you? You're starting to resemble him." Izumi, with a serious expression, responded, "People change when it's necessary."

Concern etched on Shikimori's face, she pleaded, "Please don't change so much that I couldn't even recognize you."

Izumi, offering a reassuring smile, replied, "Don't worry, Shikimori San. I'll remain the same Izumi for you. But rescuing Sasuke San is our main priority." With unanimous agreement, the group pressed forward.

Amidst their progress, a mysterious figure loomed ahead. Izumi's quick recognition sent shockwaves through the group. "Sasuke San!" he exclaimed.

Rose, tearful and desperate, moved to embrace the figure, but Izumi intervened. "He's not the Sasuke we know. Judging by his appearance, he's been drugged."

The revelation struck everyone with disbelief. The drugged Sasuke, his mind clouded, proclaimed, "Dark breathing form 1, The darkness!" as he lunged towards them. Izumi swiftly blocked the attack, setting the stage for a tense confrontation.

In the face of Sasuke's aggressive advance, Izumi swiftly invoked his Mist Breathing technique, countering Sasuke's assault with masterful swordplay. The clash of their blades created an intense spectacle of dangerous skill.

Rose, witnessing Sasuke's descent into darkness, pleaded with tearful desperation, "Sasuke, please don't do this." Akane, her heart heavy with sorrow, looked at Sasuke and implored, "Dad, please regain your consciousness."

Shikimori, overwhelmed with emotion, repeated a heartfelt plea, "Izumi, please don't die," as the battle unfolded with uncertainty.

Despite Izumi's efforts to keep his guard up, Sasuke's unparalleled skills and experience proved to be a formidable challenge. Throughout the intense combat, Izumi persistently implored, "Sasuke San, please regain your consciousness. This is not you." Sasuke's relentless attacks continued, each strike hitting with precision, while Izumi skillfully maneuvered, attempting to evade the onslaught.

The battle unfolded in a tense struggle between mentor and student, with Izumi desperately clinging to the hope of awakening the true Sasuke from the grip of darkness. Amidst the relentless battle, Izumi faced overwhelming difficulties against Sasuke, employing all the skills taught by Aqua.

The clash unfolded with an emotional backdrop as Rose, witnessing Sasuke's unconscious state, broke down, screaming, "Sasuke!!!"

Tears streamed down her face, and she pleaded with him, "It's me, Rose. Have you forgotten about me? I'm here to save you. I won't let you go this time. Look at Akane; she's our daughter. The one you're fighting is Aqua's student, your grandstudent. Please, Sasuke, regain yourself."

As Sasuke's and Rose's eyes met, an intense tension filled the air. In a moment of silence, Sasuke hesitated, changing his focus towards Rose. Akane and Shikimori were terrified, with Akane screaming, "Mom!"

A miraculous moment occurred as Sasuke halted himself, recognizing Rose. Sasuke struggled against the drug's influence, and Rose, maintaining her gaze, smiled.

Akane pleaded, "Father, please fight it."

Sasuke explained, "I can't. This drug is very strong." Suddenly losing control again, Sasuke prepared to attack Rose, but Izumi swiftly intervened, executing a flash step to block Sasuke's sword. He reassured, "Sasuke San, you don't have to worry. Me and Aqua Sensei will find a way to free you."

As Izumi battled Sasuke, he sustained heavy injuries while Sasuke seemed almost machine-like, showing no signs of fatigue despite his own condition. Realizing the gravity of the situation,

Izumi contemplated using his strongest technique, despite the significant risk it posed in his weakened state. He locked eyes with Sasuke and muttered, "Looks like I need to use it." Suddenly, Izumi's eyes started glowing a dark green, and smoke emanated from his mouth, leaving the girls in shock.

With an ominous air, Izumi declared, "I'm the Demon of Mist, the devil of salvation," sending chills down everyone's spines. Shikimori, in particular, was shocked by Izumi's revelation.

Izumi continued, "Mist Breathing: The Destruction of Mist," and with incredible speed, he lunged towards Sasuke. The clash of their blades created a shockwave, enveloping the area in mist, heightening the tension.

After the mist cleared, the scene revealed Izumi lying on the ground, and Sasuke had been thrown into the wall. Shikimori, observing the aftermath, remarked, "Izumi... looks like he did it." Akane concurred, saying, "Yeah, but that technique took a toll on his physical strength."

Rose, with tears in her eyes, looked at Sasuke and expressed gratitude, "He did it, he saved Sasuke. I can't thank this kid enough."

As the girls rejoiced, Sasuke unexpectedly rose like a relentless force, showing no signs of regaining his senses. He grabbed his sword and swiftly rushed toward Izumi.

The girls, horrified, cried out, "Izumi... No!" Just as Sasuke's katana was about to reach Izumi, a mysterious figure intervened, blocking Sasuke's attack with a powerful kick to his abdomen. Sasuke staggered back, and everyone stared in astonishment at the unexpected savior – Aqua.

Akane, taken aback, exclaimed, "A... Aqua!" Aqua reassured her, saying, "Take care of my student, and don't worry, I will save my teacher."

Aqua gazed at Sasuke, resembling a machine in his unconscious state, took a deep breath, and his eyes transformed into a deep shade of blue. "Let's do this, sensei," he declared.

With a swift flash step, both teacher and student commenced their intense clash. The clash of their blades echoed through the chamber as they engaged in a formidable battle.
