As the sounds of battle gradually subsided, the thick scent of blood quickly spread throughout the entire base.
Gensou held a water whip in his right hand, tightly coiled around Torune's neck, strangling him as he looked towards the now unprotected Danzo and smiled faintly:
"All your men are dead, yet you remain so composed."
In response, Danzo, using his sleeve to cover his right arm, remained utterly unmoved, his old face cold and indifferent:
"Sacrificing for Konoha is their honor."
In fact, he had already unsealed his right arm and could have joined the fight earlier.
However, the opponent this time was Hagoromo Gensou, who had once fought against the First Five Kage.
The number of ninjas in the Root base was still too few.
Knowing these men would hardly be effective in a real battle, Danzo had no hesitation in using them as expendable pawns, sacrificing their lives to exhaust Gensou's chakra and stamina.
Not everyone had the special physique of Hashirama Senju.
No matter how strong Gensou was, his chakra and stamina were finite.
Exhausting part of it would increase his chances of winning the upcoming battle.
As for the fact that all his subordinates were dead?
Konoha never lacked talent.
As long as he remained, so would Root.
When the time came, having absorbed all of Gensou's secrets, he would create an even stronger Root, perhaps even a stronger Konoha!
Danzo's eyes glowed with greed and determination as he looked at Gensou:
"Gensou, your arrogance will be your downfall. Although Konoha no longer has the First Hokage, it is still powerful."
"Today, I will stand in for the First Hokage and bury you once again!"
"Bury me?"
Gensou seemed to hear the biggest joke, laughing:
"I'm curious where your courage comes from."
Danzo snorted coldly, saying no more.
His confidence naturally came from the combined powers of Wood Release and the Sharingan, the two most powerful forces in the ninja world.
No matter how powerful Gensou was, he was still defeated by the First Hokage, who wielded Wood Release.
Now, his right arm not only possessed Wood Release but also the Sharingan, even the Mangekyou Sharingan!
Drip, drip The sound of blood dripping from bodies echoed in the cold, empty Root base.
Perhaps a few moments, perhaps many moments passed.
When the sound of blood droplets ceased, Danzo swiftly formed the hand seals for Boar, Pig, and Sheep, and then attacked first:
"Wind Release: Shuriken!"
Dozens of shuriken, infused with Wind Release chakra, turned into rapidly spinning giant fans, hurtling towards Gensou.
"Don't bother with such tricks."
Without even glancing at the incoming shuriken, Gensou's figure moved, turning into a fierce wind. In an instant, he was in front of Danzo, whose pupils contracted slightly, and punched.
Boom! An invisible shockwave rolled out in all directions.
Danzo raised his hands to block the incoming punch.
Despite this, he was forced back, his legs carving long tracks into the hard ground.
Seeing Gensou about to make another move, Danzo quickly opened his mouth, and two thin needles formed of Wind Release chakra shot towards Gensou's eyes.
Danzo probably should have competed for the position of Kazekage rather than Hokage. With his proficiency in Wind Release, even Gensou couldn't help but be impressed.
But against him, relying on this alone was far from enough.
Gensou tilted his head, dodging the needles, while his right foot swung forward like a battle axe.
Danzo, unable to dodge in time, was sent flying, crashing into a thick wall behind him, creating a large hole, embedding himself deeply.
Thick smoke and dust covered Danzo.
Using the obscured vision to his advantage, Gensou summoned a shadow clone.
"Is this what you call burying me?"
As the real Gensou sank into the ground, the shadow clone spoke, giving Danzo no chance to recover as he charged into the dust, aiming to end it swiftly.
"Wood Release: Great Tree Spear!"
A giant tree suddenly extended from the dust.
Gensou quickly retreated, chuckling:
"Wood Release? Is that your trump card?"
"A counterfeit is still a counterfeit. Compared to Hashirama's Wood Release, it's far inferior."
Gensou extended his right hand, the sound of a thousand birds chirping echoed.
As the Great Tree Spear closed in, the Chidori transformed into the Chidori Sharp Spear, slicing the Great Tree Spear in two.
Had Danzo not dodged in time, his right arm would have been severed as well.
Screech!
In an instant, lightning flashed again.
Before Danzo, clutching his right arm, could steady himself.
Gensou's shadow clone, as quick as lightning, charged with the Chidori in hand. In an instant, the Chidori pierced Danzo's heart, leaving him with an expression of disbelief, panic, and despair.
"Your words don't seem to match your strength."
Looking at the blood-spitting Danzo, Gensou leaned in and whispered into his ear:
"The show is over."
The sound of the Chidori dissipated.
Gensou's shadow clone withdrew his hand, taking a step back.
With a thud, Danzo knelt heavily on the ground.
"Konoha..."
He tried to say something, but no strength remained. His left hand futilely reached out towards Gensou, only to fall halfway.
"It's over."
Looking at the now lifeless Danzo, Gensou calmly announced, then looked up at the sky and said, "Tobidara, I have avenged you," before turning to leave the Root base.
However, in the next second.
A familiar voice sounded behind him.
"It's truly over."
Gensou "changed his expression" and was about to turn around when an old hand suddenly gripped his shoulder.
Binding Curse Seal!
Black curse marks rapidly spread from Gensou's shoulder to his entire body.
Gensou felt his body go numb, unable to move.
"How could this be..."
He started to speak, only to see the unscathed Danzo walking up to him, coldly facing him:
"I told you, today I will bury you."
With a triumphant smile, Danzo finally declared:
"Gensou, everything of yours belongs to me!"
The next second.
Their eyes met.
Mangekyou Sharingan activated.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
