Chp-157: This Feels Just Right

In just a few exchanges, Danzo finally understood the immense pressure faced by those who confronted Satoru Hyuga.

In close combat, he was no match at all.

The metal not only provided all-around defence but also instantly transformed into sharp weapons!

In long-range combat, he fared no better!

A single electromagnetic cannon shot could take a life.

Trying to summon a summoning beast, his arm would be instantly cut off, and his rhythm would be completely controlled by the opponent. Even a desperate struggle couldn't make much of a difference.

Could he fight?

No, he couldn't.

He didn't have the ability, you see?

Metallic particles formed several large hands, violently grabbing Danzo's limbs and forcibly dismembering him.

"I hate this!" Danzo roared in his dying breath.

Satoru Hyuga pondered what kind of death to give Danzo next.

Such a good opportunity shouldn't be wasted without some fun.

For an old schemer like Danzo, no matter what method he used, Satoru Hyuga would not feel it was cruel.

...

Outside, the Root members were completely surrounded by Hyuga ninjas, the dark barrels of their sniper rifles aimed at them, ready to fire at any moment.

Beneath their masks, sweat poured from the foreheads of many Root members.

Although it was their first time seeing sniper rifles, the news of the Hyuga clan using these weapons to repel the Rinnegan enemy had spread throughout the village.

This was their first experience of being simultaneously targeted by so many sniper rifles.

At that moment, a large number of Uchiha ninjas led by Fugaku Uchiha arrived.

Seeing the Root members surrounding the Four Violet Flames Formation, his pupils shrank, and he hurriedly asked, "Clan Leader Hizashi, what happened?"

Hizashi Hyuga replied solemnly, "Their target seems to be Satoru. I don't know their exact conspiracy."

Fugaku Uchiha took a sharp breath.

As expected!

Had Danzo gone mad?

Had he not considered the consequences at all?

"Why haven't we attacked yet? I've brought many Uchiha ninjas. Even against the entire Root, we have nothing to fear."

Hizashi Hyuga gave him a complicated look. "Satoru instructed us not to act, for now, just to surround them. Besides…"

He gave the Four Violet Flames Formation a strange look. Although the other ninjas didn't know what was happening inside the house, through their Byakugan, they could clearly see Danzo's dire situation.

It was a one-sided plaything.

Worry?

It was the Root members who should be worried, right?

But… why were they so determined to guard the Four Violet Flames Formation? Clearly, breaking the barrier would give Danzo a chance to survive.

...

"Hold on! Once Lord Danzo controls Satoru Hyuga, victory will be ours!"

The Root members exchanged glances, seeing determination in each other's eyes.

...

"Damn it… I, I am so weak…"

Danzo spat out a mouthful of blood, continuously tormented by Satoru Hyuga. The Sharingan on his right arm had completely closed.

As for Satoru Hyuga, he didn't even have a single scratch, not even a drop of blood on his clothes.

"Let's die together! Satoru, you evil brat, I should have killed you back then! Wood Release: Tree Root Burial!"

Danzo roared.

His right arm swelled wildly, transforming into a giant tree that quickly engulfed most of his body.

Tree Root Burial was a mutually destructive technique that used the power of Wood Release to engulf both parties.

With the suppression of the Sharingan on his right arm gone, the power of Hashirama's cells went berserk, unleashing the full potential of Tree Root Burial!

The giant tree grew rapidly, swallowing up most of the first floor and breaking through the roof.

Satoru Hyuga, prepared for this, applied electromagnetic acceleration to himself, dodging the attack range at lightning speed.

...

Outside, a loud crash was heard as a huge tree crown broke through the roof, sending debris flying.

Almost simultaneously, all eyes turned to the sight, filled with astonishment and shock.

"Wood Release??? Are you kidding me? How can anyone besides the First Hokage use Wood Release?"

The Root members were momentarily bewildered.

Whoosh!

Orochimaru leapt down from a nearby rooftop, landing in the midst of the crowd.

"The Hokage is here!"

Orochimaru looked at the towering tree, his eyes calm. "Do not panic. It seems Danzo transplanted the First Hokage's cells for personal gain."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding ninjas showed expressions of disgust.

Transplanting the First Hokage's cells sounded like a very nasty experiment.

"Didn't expect Danzo to be such a person!"

"Too despicable. As a village elder, secretly conducting such forbidden experiments."

...

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi and others also arrived.

Seeing the giant tree, their pupils shrank.

"Hiruzen, this is Wood Release???"

Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado looked at him in astonishment.

The hateful voices of the surrounding ninjas reached their ears, making their faces stiffened.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face suddenly turned ugly. He had permitted Danzo to research Wood Release, only to shut it down later.

Danzo must have achieved results long ago but kept it hidden…

Inside the house.

Satoru Hyuga squinted, searching for Danzo.

Despite Danzo's desperate struggle, Byakugan clearly saw him activating the last Sharingan hidden under his right eye's bandage.

Good, trying to outsmart me?

Meanwhile, in the ruins of the first floor destroyed by Tree Root Burial, a figure was crawling cautiously among the debris.

"Damn it! Never thought I'd have to rely on playing dead to escape. This beast…"

Danzo was confident in his acting skills. Even if his last move didn't kill Satoru Hyuga, it would certainly make him let his guard down.

The exit was within reach.

As long as I can get there…

Ha! It's not over yet.

Suddenly, a pair of feet appeared in front of him, making Danzo freeze.

Lying on the ground, he slowly raised his head.

Satoru Hyuga was bent over, smiling at him.

In that instant, Danzo remembered the numerous times he had been tortured to death and the humiliation of having to play dead to escape…

"Damn it!!! This is too much! I'll fight you to the death!"

Danzo sprang up, tearing off his shirt, his body covered in black markings, oozing black liquid.

"Never thought I'd have to use mutual destruction twice! Die, and go to hell with me!"

Black liquid engulfed his feet, rapidly spreading around.

"Uh… I didn't plan on killing you this time?"

Satoru Hyuga said helplessly.

Danzo only had one life left. If he died, he'd be truly dead. Satoru Hyuga intended to drag him out and impeach Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Danzo paused, a look of confusion and horror in his eyes.

You… don't plan on killing me?

But even if he wanted to back out, it was too late.

Once the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing started, it couldn't be reversed.

"Damn it! Damn it! I won't die peacefully!!"

Whoosh!

Satoru Hyuga, quick on his feet, used metal to cut off Danzo's arm, bringing it to his side before retreating rapidly.

Watching Danzo being swallowed by the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing, Satoru Hyuga rubbed his chin, feeling something was off.

"Got it."

A large amount of metal emerged from the ground, forming a giant metal bridge beneath Danzo's feet.

"Now, this feels right!"

Satoru Hyuga smiled with satisfaction.

"Damn it! Damn it! I won't accept this!"

Danzo roared on the metal bridge, being engulfed by the sealing along with the bridge beneath him.
