Chapter 172 : Eight Tails in Konoha!!

Danzo felt extremely tired and finally understood the complex emotions Hiruzen must have felt back then.

In other words, his current body was much better. If he had been in his previous body, he probably wouldn't have been able to handle the turmoil.

Rain and strong wind blew through the broken windows, soaking Danzo completely. He slowly sat down on a chair, feeling his limbs go cold. 

It wasn't just from the wind but from the anxiety about the dangerous situation he was about to face. He couldn't help but think about Fugaku.

There was good news from the Rock, Mist, and Sand villages, but it was the Cloud Ninja who shattered his hopes.

Danzo imagined that even if he managed to end the Third Ninja War, he wouldn't get any credit.

Since the founding of Konoha Village, no Hokage had ever been beaten on their own doorstep!

This was a huge disgrace and humiliation!

Moreover, the worst part was that a huge burden was about to fall on him, and he had no way to deal with it.

"Damn it, I shouldn't have acted so quickly!" He was extremely frustrated. If Sarutobi Hiruzen had still been awake, he wouldn't be the one to take the blame: "Hiruzen, you're always so lucky. Why am I always so unlucky?"

"And White Fang, if I had known, I wouldn't have acted so quickly. If he were still here, I wouldn't be so helpless!"

"And Tsunade and Jiraiya, damn it, if they were still in the village, I wouldn't have let that loser Uchiha Fugaku go!"

"The most infuriating is Uchiha Sogetsu. If it weren't for him, how could this situation have happened? I must kill that bastard!"

"Damn it! Why is everyone against me?!"

Danzo was full of self-pity and didn't realize that all this was his own fault.

At this time, the people who were awakened by the fireworks quickly received orders from the acting Hokage Danzo, conveyed by Elephant.

Konoha was on the brink of invasion. The barrier team hurried to switch their barrier from detection to defense around the massive transparent sphere.

But then, something strange happened.

Suddenly, violent ripples appeared in the upper left corner of the sphere.

"Oh no, someone is invading!" the barrier squad leader shouted in alarm.

Before he could say anything more, a massive earthquake struck. The entire building collapsed, burying the entire barrier team.

At the same time, Danzo, who had been scolding others in his office, was stunned by the chaos unfolding before him.

A piercing whistle filled the air as a massive black shadow, trailing a fiery red tail, streaked through the dark clouds at breakneck speed. The shadow plowed through the thick clouds, creating a deep trench in its wake.

The shadow's high-speed movement created circular sonic booms behind it, accompanied by powerful winds that roared and surged like dragons. The intense wind cut through the rain, creating an overwhelming sense of pressure and power.

"It's an invader! Evacuate immediately!" someone shouted to warn the ninjas in the area.

But anyone with a shred of sense already knew to get out of there as fast as possible.

The shadow, resembling a burning meteorite, hurtled towards the ground. As it neared, the wind pressure became hurricane-like, forcing ninjas who hadn't yet evacuated to cling to anything they could to avoid being blown away.

"Here it comes!!!"

With a deafening roar, everything went silent—not true silence, but the aftermath of the explosive impact.

Most ninjas were momentarily deafened, their ears ringing as the ground shook violently.

Boom! 

The ground shattered on impact. The southeast corner was split with cracks, and the force of the impact sent surface rock layers flying. 

The shockwave spread fiercely, collapsing buildings like cut wheat. The gale, like a raging wave, demolished everything in its path with devastating power.

The nearby ninjas were thrown off their feet by the explosion.

In shock and fear, they watched as a massive mushroom cloud rose from the ruins.

The aftermath lasted for several seconds. The shockwave, visible to the eye, spread like a tsunami, flattening everything within hundreds of meters.

Smoke and dust poured into the sky, with the mushroom cloud clearly visible above the destruction.

For a moment, the disaster stunned the entire village of Konoha into silence, and a heavy, silent fear gripped everyone.

"Already here," Danzo said in the Hokage's office, completely defeated.

In the thick smoke, a massive black shadow, dozens of meters high, emerged. It exuded an overwhelming sense of pressure. The chakra seemed almost tangible, making the air around it shiver.

Everyone was nervously swallowing, eyes fixed on the terrifying shadow in the smoke and dust.

It was hard to tell that the liquid on their faces was a sweat of fear. The hair on their bodies stood on end, and their nerves felt stretched to their limit.

Finally, someone couldn't handle the pressure and let out a loud scream.

In an instant, the silence was shattered. Everyone instinctively used their strongest jutsu to defend themselves.

Fire Style, Water Style, Wind Style. The dark night was lit up by a series of explosive roars, like fireworks converging on one spot!

After the barrage of jutsu, the smoke and dust began to clear.

But when the smoke finally settled, everyone was met with a sight that left them feeling helpless and overwhelmed.

In the deep crater left by the fall, a gigantic creature with a cow-like head and eight octopus-like tentacles writhing from its back emerged. Each tentacle caused explosions as it hit the rain, creating powerful shockwaves.

Even from a distance, Danzo could sense the extreme chakra radiating from the enormous creature!

"Tailed Beast! Eight-Tails!"

His pupils continued to shrink until he could no longer handle the overwhelming chakra, causing him to burst out in one gulp.

"Cloud Ninja, they're too much!"

Everyone understands how crucial the Tailed Beasts are for maintaining strategic balance. 

Who would ever throw such an important Tailed Beast directly into the enemy's village like a projectile? 

When Danzo received this information, he imagined countless scenarios. Among them was the worst possibility: the Raikage using the Eight-Tails to unleash a Tailed Beast Ball and destroy the barrier surrounding Konoha Village.

But he never expected the Eight-Tails to show up like this! The Fourth Raikage, young and ruthless, has no moral integrity!
