Chapter 12: Chapter 12: The Unpredictable Wildcard (1)

At this moment, he would refrain from questioning Itachi anymore; after all, Madara Uchiha was alongside Itachi, actively attempting to halt Kaito.

"It appears those earlier ambushes were all orchestrated by Kaito."

"But now, he's become such a formidable opponent that Kaito actually forced him to resort to Izanagi at the cost of blindness in one eye!"

The horrifying scenes unfolded one after another, causing Danzo to regard Kaito with murderous intent.

"This individual can't stay!"

Danzo made up his mind!

With a wave of his hand, the group of roots promptly surrounded Kaito and Obito from all directions.

Danzo squinted to observe the battlefield, privately thinking, "Although time-space ninjutsu is powerful, it requires a specific medium or other conditions!"

"Even though I don't know the specifics of Kaito's time-space ninjutsu, the moment after he uses it must be his weakest time!"

Kaito, aware of the encircling roots, maintained his focus on Obito. Their intense battle had drained considerable energy from both fighters, but Kaito knew the advantage was now with him. Obito's reliance on Izanagi had left him vulnerable.

As roots closed in around them, Kaito's eyes flashed with determination. He had to end this battle quickly before the situation worsened.

Obito, sensing the imminent danger, prepared to launch a counterattack. Despite his weakened state, the power of his Mangekyo Sharingan remained formidable.

Danzo watched intently as the confrontation unfolded. He knew that this moment would determine the fate of the battlefield. If Kaito could exploit Obito's weakened state, they might have a chance to eliminate both threats to Konoha.
