Chapter 374: Final Struggle

"Summoning Jutsu: Baku!!"

Faced with Yu, who seemed to have descended like a Sage, Danzo, who had just emerged from a dream using Izanagi and had consumed another Sharingan, was still in shock.

He immediately used the Summoning Jutsu to call forth his Summon Beast, Baku. Its enormous body was wrapped in countless white bandages, with terrifying wounds from the Scorch Release flames used by Yu's Tyrant last time.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!!"

Using Body Flicker Jutsu to speed up, Danzo performed a series of hand seals and took a deep breath before unleashing countless sharp Air Bullets towards Yu, attempting to pierce Yu's body through the enhanced suction of the Summon Beast, Baku!

"It's laughable…"

However, in the face of Danzo's desperate resistance, Yu, disdainful and faster in action, performed hand seals rapidly, taking a deep breath and using his vast Senjutsu Chakra to emit a powerful purple laser.

"Sage Art: Storm Release Light Fang!!"

As Yu tilted his head slightly, a purple laser, which seemed to cut through the heavens and earth, sliced the ground beneath the Root Ninjas in the surrounding area. It instantly split Danzo and his Summon Beast, Baku, into two halves!

The aftermath was not over; the purple Storm Release laser beam extended a great distance, with such terrifying penetrating power that it cut through the entire landscape of Konoha's forests. However, in the chaos of Konoha at that moment, no one noticed the battle here.

"Danzo-sama!!"

Watching Danzo being instantly killed by Yu time and again, the remaining Root Ninjas quickly reorganized their formation and launched a fierce attack. Countless shuriken, mixed with ninjutsu and explosive tags, bombarded the area.

"Annoying flies…"

Not every ninja in Root was evil; Yu, who had already killed enough Root Ninjas, initially did not want to kill more. But faced with their fearless attack, Yu finally lost all patience.

Sage Art: White Rage Jutsu!!

As Yu's thoughts shifted suddenly, he placed his hands gently in front of him and formed a hand seal. Then he opened his mouth and released a dragon-shaped stream of white liquid. The dragon's claws gripped a sphere resembling a dragon ball.

What is that?!

The Root Ninjas, never having seen such a ninjutsu before, were all stunned as they watched the white dragon spew from Yu's mouth.

Boom!!

Before they could react, the white dragon, spinning rapidly around the central sphere, caused the sphere to suddenly burst. It emitted an incredibly intense light, and under the blinding brightness, all the ninjas temporarily lost their sight.

Buzzing…

Not only was there the blinding light, but the intense vibrations exploding in the surrounding air also sent all shuriken and ninjutsu flying. This caused all the ninjas present to experience severe numbness in their bodies, falling into a state where they couldn't even move.

"Aaaaah!!"

Although they couldn't hear their own screams, all the Root Ninjas present collapsed on the ground, wailing in agony. At that moment, they felt as if all the bones in their bodies were grinding together, and they couldn't even move a single finger.

As one of the three great Sage Art sanctuaries, Ryuchi Cave is known for its numerous Sage Jutsus. Among them, White Rage Jutsu and Inorganic Reincarnation are techniques Yu has mastered over the past few years.

Under the immense power of White Rage Jutsu, even Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi from the Naruto series could not maintain their Susanoo. Let alone the Root Ninjas, whose highest strength is only at the Jonin level, they could not withstand the high-frequency vibrations and were knocked unconscious. Some of the weaker ninjas even coughed up blood and were incapacitated.

"How is this possible?!"

As the intense white light and air vibrations gradually dissipated, Danzo, who had just been revived by Izanagi, nearly had his eyes pop out of their sockets upon witnessing Yu eliminate almost all the Root Ninjas with a single jutsu.

Wind Release: Shuriken!!

In disbelief, Danzo opened his mouth and expelled a mass of Wind Release Chakra onto the Kunai in his hand, transforming it into a Wind Release Shuriken capable of easily cutting through rocks. Using Body Flicker Jutsu, he appeared beside Yu and slashed with the Kunai!

"Is it useful? Fearless struggle…"

Seeing that Danzo attempted to engage him in close combat Taijutsu, Yu sneered disdainfully. He stood still, and without any visible movement, had already seized Danzo's wrist.

Dragon Claw!!

Immediately, Yu's other hand, covered with Armament Haki, manifested as a solid, pitch-black giant Dragon Claw. Without mercy, it instantly tore Danzo's body to shreds, turning it into a cloud of blood mist that scattered in the wind!

Not only had the power of his Ninjutsu been elevated to an astonishing degree, but after entering Perfect Sage Mode, Yu's physical strength had also increased by more than tenfold. Any Taijutsu he unleashed had overwhelming power.

"It's impossible… This can't be happening!!"

"I've been planning for so long… Why can't I kill you?!"

As time passed, Taijutsu, Ninjutsu, Puppets, Thread Fruits—Yu continuously and mercilessly slaughtered with varying methods. Watching his Sharingan eyes one by one closing, and under the dual pressure of death and failure, Danzo seemed to finally collapse completely.

"Just one step… just one more step! If I kill you, I can control all of Konoha!!"

After using Izanagi to resurrect once again, Danzo, staring at his last remaining Sharingan, couldn't accept this reality. Even a ninja as iron-willed as he was on the brink of collapse, his face twisted, shouting hysterically.

"Damn it… is Senju Hashirama's Wood Release cell acting up again?!"

Facing the unbeatable Yu before him, Danzo gritted his teeth, attempting to launch a final attack, but suddenly felt a tearing pain throughout his body. Countless massive trees erupted from his pale arms, piercing through him!

"Truly, you reap what you sow…"

Watching Danzo's pitiful and desperate cries, Yu let out a satisfied laugh. "You've sacrificed so many Sharingan and used Izanagi continuously. The mental energy in your body is no longer sufficient to maintain balance with Senju Hashirama's Wood Release cells, and now they're devouring your body again…"

"No, this can't be…"

"For Konoha, I can't die here…"

Feeling the little remaining chakra in his body and the constant sharp pain, Danzo, with his vision gradually blurring, made a shocking move: he forcefully broke off both of his arms that had transformed into giant trees and turned to flee.

"No, I can't die yet..."

Feeling like he could lose consciousness at any moment, Danzo used his remaining chakra and willpower to support himself, stumbling and staggering as he ran towards the center of Konoha.

This guy… Does he really think he's protecting Konoha?

Or does he genuinely believe he can change the entire ninja world?

Watching the staggering figure in front of him that seemed on the verge of collapse, Yu's eyes widened in a mix of surprise and contemplation.

No one knew what Danzo truly thought at that moment, but it no longer mattered.

Seeing Danzo limping ahead, Yu followed behind him at a leisurely pace, a cold smile on his face. He wanted to see just how far Danzo, who was already as good as dead, thought he could run...
