Whoosh...

Sarutobi once again rushed towards Kozuki as Enma was slashed towards Kozuki, moving aside Kozuki dodged but one of its ends suddenly stretched moving towards his face.

Clang...

Taking out the sword Kozuki stopped the stick but Sarutobi didn't give him a chance to breathe as he spun around attacking him once again.

Danzo on the other took out a few shurikens as he injected the wind-style chakra into them.

The sharp wind appeared around Shurikens as he threw them towards Kozuki.

Sensing the shurikens Kozuki applied some force as his sword collided with Enma.

Boom...

"What powerful force..."

Even if he blocked the sword, Sarutobi flew back 5 or 6 meters by the force of Kozuki slash.

Noticing the Wind Shurikens enclosing on him, Kozuki brought his sword in front of him and began to spin quickly.

Numerous short thick red energy slashes were ejected from the spinning Kozuki.

The Shurikens hit by the slashes were divided into two immediately.

"Damn!"

Cursed both Sarutobi and Danzo but they had to fight otherwise they might be the ones to be killed.

Both of them ran towards as they printed several hand signs.

"Wind Style Great Vacuum Barrage"

"Fire Style Flaming Missile"

Both the elements complemented each other as the power of the Jutsu increased entering the category of S rank Jutsu.

"One Sword Style Angry Tiger"

Not affected by the Jutsu roaring towards him, Kozuki swung his sword towards the sea of flames.

Roar...

The Phantom of a red tiger appeared as it collided with the flames in front.

The Flames were divided into two as the tiger rushed towards Sarutobi and Danzo.

"How do we defeat him?"

Seeing their attack useless Danzo cursed but he knew it was not the point to curse.

Danzo wanted to move away from the range of attack but his mind suddenly began to spin and when he came back to his senses it was already too late. (Haoshoku Haki)

The attack drowned Danzo as he was immediately divided into two.

Sarutobi was lucky as he hadn't wasted his time cursing before and moved away from the range of the attack a lot earlier.

But soon, the corpse of Danzo on the ground disappeared and a totally fine Danzo appeared beside Sarutobi his hand on his right eye.

"Damn, my Sharingan'

At this stage, Danzo only had one Sharingan and he didn't expect it to be wasted here.

"Oh, is this the best you both can do, honestly I'm disappointed"

Kozuki shook his head in annoyance as he didn't expect them to be so weak.

Getting too strong is also a kind of frustration since you can't find good opponents easily.

"Be careful, he's about to get serious"

Sarutobi was angry when he saw Kozuki looking down on him but he knew this wasn't the time to get angry and focused on Kozuki and reminded Danzo as well.

"One Sword Style! Wailing Doom"

Kozuki swung his sword at a speed invisible to the naked eye as he slashed towards the direction of Sarutobi and Danzo.

The ground beneath Kozuki was destroyed immediately as the air around him seemed to have stopped moving.

Red aura blinded the eyes of Danzo and Sarutobi but they quickly opened their eyes focusing on the sight in front.

"This..."

Both Danzo and Sarutobi suddenly lost the will to fight as they saw the huge slash in front.

They naturally knew that he could make exaggerated slashes but the one in front of them was too unbelievable.

The red slash nearly 500m long vertically and 100m wide horizontally, simply blocked their escape as no matter how fast they run, there was no way they could outrun it.

"Damn..."

Cursed both Danzo and Sarutobi but they quickly calmed themselves as they knew crying over it won't stop this slash that was about to drown them.

"Wind Style Great Vacuum Barrage"

"Fire Style Flaming Missile"

"Summoning Jutsu! Baku

"Summoning Jutsu! Triple Rashōman"

The wind and fire together increased the power of the Jutsu which moved towards the huge slash.

Danzo summoned his ninja beast and Sarutobi summoned the three huge gates with scary faces printed on them just to defend against the slash.

The Wind and Fire Jutsu were immediately extinguished as they came in contact with the slash.

Roar...

The huge elephant in front roared as it released wind waves towards the slash but in front of the huge attack, it looked even smaller than the ant.

Without any hindrance, it vanished instantly after being hit by the slash as the attack moved towards the three huge gates.

In the unbelievable eyes of Sarutobi and Danzo, the three gates without even a shard left were also destroyed as the slash kept moving towards them.

But this much obstruction gave them some time to move away from the attack range but even so they couldn't outrun it completely.

Boom...

The slash fell on the ground destroying everything in its way as even the rainy dark clouds above the sky moved away by the pressure caused by its shock waves that even reached the heavens.

The whole forest near the border of the land of fire was shaken by the momentum of the attack.

After the attack disappeared, it revealed an area around 1000m which was completely destroyed.

Every tree or any rock that was in this area before disappeared completely revealing small deep slash marks everywhere.

But what was the most frightening was, the long and smooth deep divided area on the ground.

A slash mark hundreds of meters long appeared and it was tens of meters deep as well.

Anyone would be stunned beyond words looking at the scene in front.

"Cough...Cough..."

Sarutobi along with Danzo sat on the ground as they were coughing fiercely and blood also fell on the ground from their mouth.

"This... is...cough... too much, only the First Hokage could ever release such large scale attacks"

Sarutobi had numerous wounds on his body as blood was constantly oozing from it but all of his attention was on the destroyed area around.

"This is all your fault Hiruzen!!! you gave him too much time"

Danzo was no better than Sarutobi as wounds were present at every part of his body.

"Sure enough. evil won't die easily"

Kozuki looked at the two in front and couldn't help but sigh.

"Wailing doom" was his strongest move aside from imbuing the blade with Conquerors Haki or using Sage mode, but they were still alive.

"Now, it's time to deal with you"

Kozuki didn't care much for both Sarutobi and Danzo as they were already injured seriously would not be able to do much.

Kozuki looked towards the Anbu who didn't participate in the fight from start.

The Anbu in front immediately took out several Kunai as he threw them towards Kozuki.

Clang Clang

Kozuki deflected the Kunai easily as he kept moving towards the Anbu step by step.

Kozuki suddenly felt the heat from behind and saw Sarutobi even when injured had unleashed a Fire Style Jutsu towards him.

Kozuki turned around and casually waved his sword extinguishing the sea of fire.

The Anbu taking the opportunity immediately arrived behind Kozuki as his hands made several seals and finally clapped his hands together.

"Huh"

Kozuki immediately sensed the Anbu behind, but what made him frown was the gloomy aura behind the Anbu.

He couldn't see it but he could sense it with his Observation Haki.

"So, this is your trump card"

Kozuki was disappointed once more by the members of F4.

The Anbu didn't seem to notice the disappointment of Kozuki as a pale arm drilled out from his stomach as it tried to grab Kozuki.

Kozuki shook his head in disappointment and just waved his sword forward.

The huge Red Slash immediately divided the Anbu into two as Kozuki sensed his aura disappearing completely.

"Any last words"

Kozuki arrived in front of Danzo and Sarutobi who had fallen down from exhaustion and had too much blood lost.

Danzo suddenly looked up and said with a cruel look in his eyes

"Your death"

The time seemed to stop at this moment as the pupils of Kozuki shrank suddenly.

His Observation Haki exploded suddenly as his eyes seemed to have seen something terrifying.

Kozuki with extreme difficulty moved aside but Sarutobi and Danzo kneeling in front also stood up suddenly as they attacked him with Sharp Kunai and a Wind Style blade.

Puff...

Blood splashed around as an arm flew up and fell on the ground far away.

Kozuki sat on one knee his head down, as his only hand clutched the place where blood poured down constantly.

"Damn, how did he escape"

Sarutobi and Danzo looked towards Kozuki in front and said desperately.

They expected this sneak attack to kill Kozuki completely but it only took one arm.

Danzo had given the Anbu a Sharingan so that he could use Izanagi and catch Kozuki off guard.

Izanagi had different duration according to the strength of their wielder.

The Izanagi of this Anbu only had the duration of 30 seconds but this was enough, as even Kozuki wasn't able to sense him despite having Observation Haki.

"He's injured, let's run away, we squeezed out all we had in the last attack"

Sarutobi said desperately as he was even having a hard time standing.

Danzo although a bit unwilling but revenge wasn't more important than his life as he knew even if Kozuki lost an arm, he may still have some strength left to fight back.

And the Anbu was already dead lying on the ground in front, as Reaper took away his soul since his sneak attack failed and couldn't resist much against the Shinigami (Death Reaper Seal)

As both Sarutobi and Danzo were about to leave, a huge pressure suddenly enveloped them as they were pressed to the ground and an unknown force made them unable to move.

Both Sarutobi and Danzo looked towards Kozuki and saw huge red pressure was constantly emitting from him and some changes to his body were occurring also.
