The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 244 Attack on Konoha, Izanagi

Konoha Hidden Village, Hokage's office.

The afterglow of the setting sun slanted through the carved window lattice, bathing the room in a dark golden halo.

Danzo Shimura sat upright on the sandalwood chair passed down through generations of Hokage, his wrinkled fingers gently stroking the bright red 'fire' character on his straw hat.

A faint smile played at the corners of his lips, and every wrinkle around his eyes smoothed out, gleaming with an undeniable light.

His exposed left eye blazed with the flames of ambition, as if the whole world was under his control.

"It's finally my turn."

A hoarse whisper echoed in the empty room.

On Danzo's desk, an open scroll still bore traces of undried blood, the result of the final vote at the high-level meeting.

With Tsunade still recovering from her serious injuries, the village could not be without him for even a day. Using the name of the Akatsuki organization Night, he used the Root organization to eliminate all dissenting voices and finally took the Hokage position he had always dreamed of.

With his long-cherished wish fulfilled, he naturally possessed a wealth of strategic ideas.

With other ninja villages in turmoil and their Kage killed, it is the perfect time to expand our territory and unify the ninja world.

His single eye narrowed slightly, as if he could already see the Konoha flag planted all over the five great nations.

Rumbling--

Just as Danzo was lost in his self-admiration, a deafening explosion shattered his illusions.

His smile froze instantly, and a sharp glint flashed in his single eye.

A ninja wearing a Root mask appeared in the house and knelt on one knee: "Hokage-sama, enemy attack! Someone has broken into the village."

"Hmm? Who dares to trespass into my Konoha?"

"Judging from his attire, he is Xiao."

Upon hearing the word "Akatsuki," Danzo abruptly stood up from his seat. The high spirits on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a deep solemnity.

His mind raced, and in an instant he realized that Akatsuki was definitely after Kurama (the Nine-Tails).

The problem is that Kurama (the Nine-Tails) isn't even in Konoha right now.
In a split second, Danzo had weighed the pros and cons, and then coldly ordered: "Pass down the order, all members of Root and Anbu are to stand by and not act without authorization!"

"Yes." The Root ninja bowed and accepted the order, then vanished in an instant.

Without hesitation, Danzo grabbed the cane leaning against the table, put on his beloved Hokage hat, and strode outside.

At this time, war raged in Konoha Village, and smoke filled the air.

Deidara, as the air force pilot, piloted the C2 dragon and continuously dropped various clay bombs, bombarding Konoha with relentless force, having a great time.

On the ground, Kakuzu and Hidan, this immortal duo, moved around the battlefield like troublemakers.

Kakuzu was wrapped in black threads, and the bombardment of ninjutsu in Earth Grudge Fear Mode left the Konoha ninjas exhausted. He was even covered with a layer of Lightning Release armor, a new ability granted to him by the Raikage's heart.

Hidan brandished his three-moon scythe, letting out a maniacal laugh in the circle where the ritual was completed, each curse sending chills down the spines of the Konoha ninja.

But what drove Konoha to despair the most were the six Pains who possessed the Rinnegan.

The lack of intelligence caused them heavy losses, and their various outrageous abilities completely overwhelmed Konoha's elite Jonin.

There's no one in Konoha who can handle the Heavenly Dao alone.

On the Akatsuki side, only nine members participated in the battle, including the Six Paths of Pain, yet the battle turned out to be one-sided.

In the clouds, Qin Ye sat leisurely on the top of Xiao Bai's head in her fox spirit form, looking down at the battle below with great interest.

The Akatsuki's first team fight was surprisingly successful.

Behind him, Xiao Nan, who was also standing on Xiao Bai's head, suddenly narrowed her eyes, and her paper wings trembled slightly.

Her gaze locked onto a figure.

"Yoru, you're saying that Danzo instigated Hanzo to kill Yahiko, right?"

"Yes, that's right." Qin Ye nodded, his gaze also falling on that figure.

"I'm going to kill him!" Before the words were even finished, Xiao Nan's paper wings suddenly unfurled, the pure white paper resembling angel wings.

She leaped into the air, her figure transforming into a white streak of light as she swooped down, a whirlwind whipping up countless pieces of paper, like a blizzard descending.

Danzo seemed to sense something and suddenly looked up, only to see countless paper shuriken tearing through the air and pouring towards him like a torrential rain!

He remained calm and motionless.

The guards beside him immediately stepped forward and quickly formed hand seals, slapping the ground.

"Earth Escape, Earth Formation Wall!"

A thick earthen wall rose from the ground, and paper shurikens were driven into the wall one after another, making a dense 'thud' sound.

Konan hovered in mid-air, surrounded by countless pieces of paper. Her cold eyes locked onto Danzo through the fluttering papers, and her voice was as icy as frost:

"Danzo, pay with Yahiko's life!"

Danzo's expression was grim, his eyes slightly narrowed, but his tone remained calm: "I have no idea what you're talking about. Akatsuki is really audacious, attacking Konoha so openly. Do you really think you're invincible?"

"Don't you remember what you did?!" Xiao Nan's knuckles clenched so tightly they turned white, and papers swirled wildly around her. "It's because of people like you that the world has become so dark."

"Hmph, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on a little girl like you." Danzo sneered. "Where's Yoru? Call him out; I want to talk to him."

Before he finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened.

Everyone looked up subconsciously.

Then a huge fox head slowly emerged from the clouds, blocking out the sunlight.

On the fox head stood a figure holding a knife, his black robes fluttering in the wind.

"Danzo, everyone in Konoha!" Qin Ye's voice wasn't loud, but with the support of his Yuan Qi, it echoed like muffled thunder, covering the entire battlefield.

"From this day forward, there will be no more Konoha."

"In the ninja world, only Amegakure exists."

"Those who know when to yield may live; those who stubbornly resist shall be killed!"

The announcement was like a thunderclap, shaking the entire Konoha region.

The ninjas' faces showed disbelief, and their hands holding kunai trembled involuntarily, a mixture of shock and anger.

They initially thought it was just an attack with some ulterior motive, but they never expected that the other party intended to completely wipe out Konoha.

Since the establishment of ninja villages in various countries, there has never been a precedent of one ninja village annexing another.

"Rainbow Village? Hmph, arrogant!"

Several Konoha Jonin, enraged, charged toward Qin Ye.

But then a sharp glint of light flashed, and without exception, all the ninjas who rushed forward were decapitated, utterly powerless to resist.

"Foolish behavior."

Qin Ye slowly sheathed his sword, his eerie pinkish-purple eyes gleaming with a cold light. His palpable killing intent spread like a tide, deterring everyone from making a move.

Danzo looked up at the figure, a sinister glint flashing in his single eye.

He slowly raised his hand, and with this movement, a large number of elites from the Dark Guard and Root organization instantly appeared around him.

They emerged like ghosts from under the eaves, in the shadows of trees, and from cracks in the ground, instantly surrounding the entire battlefield. The dark mass of people numbered in the hundreds.

"What exactly do you mean?" Danzo's voice was hoarse and gloomy: "If you want the Nine-Tails, we can talk about it, but don't think that Konoha will let you do whatever you want. I just don't want to cause too many casualties. If we really fight, I guarantee you will not gain any advantage."

"Becoming Hokage has made you more assertive." Qin Ye scoffed, too lazy to waste words with him. He raised his Thousand Blades, the blade reflecting a blinding cold light in the sunlight: "Last chance, surrender or die."

As he spoke, Qin Ye's Thousand Blades were poised to strike.

He would not hesitate to open the Eight Gates to kill Danzo if he made the slightest move.

Although the person before him seemed like a useless coward who only knew how to fight for power, he knew that this person harbored a formidable trump card. The atmosphere was extremely oppressive; the air seemed to have solidified.

The sounds of explosions continued to echo in the distance, accompanied by Deidara's excited roars.

Danzo's expression was uncertain. He had just taken over as Hokage and was preparing to make great strides. Naturally, he would not surrender and hand over Konoha.

But if a real fight breaks out, regardless of who wins or loses, the losses will definitely be substantial.

'Should we use that move? But what about the others?'

According to intelligence, six members of Akatsuki have Rinnegan this time. Would controlling the Rinnegan be more effective?

Danzo was lost in thought, weighing whether or not to control Qin Ye.

In that instant, a flash of light slashed towards him.

"Lord Hokage, watch out!"

The Root members and the Anbu reacted extremely quickly, instantly forming a human wall to protect Danzo behind them.

The war is about to start.

Danzo did not retreat too far. His eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared intently at the figure indiscriminately killing in the crowd, and slowly released the sealing device on his right arm.

At this moment, the entire battlefield was shrouded in Qin Ye's illusion.

A maniacal smile played on his lips. In his state of sinful pleasure, he was like a demon god descending to earth. Every swing of his sword brought up plumes of blood mist, reaping wave after wave of life essence.

The ground trembled, the roars of the blood beasts mingled with the screams of the Konoha ninjas, the muffled thuds of blades tearing flesh were incessant, and severed limbs flew through the air like autumn leaves.

Someone staggered backward, clutching their bleeding severed arm, only to be sliced ​​in two by a flash of blade in the next second.

Thick blood plasma flowed into streams on the ground, reflecting the countless severed limbs flying everywhere.

Xiao Nan frowned in mid-air, her paper wings trembling slightly in the air currents.

She couldn't find an opening to intervene.

So she turned her attention back to Danzo, spread her paper wings, and flew away.

Danzo had already released the sealing device, and with a soft 'click', the device fell to the ground.

As the bandages fell away, a gruesome arm was revealed.

On his pale right arm, eleven scarlet Sharingan eyes were densely embedded, each gleaming with an eerie light.

Including the one in his right eye, he actually has twelve Sharingan eyes, even though he is not from the Uchiha clan!

It's foreseeable that he was involved in the Uchiha clan massacre and reaped considerable benefits.

Danzo used Wind Release to engage Konan in a fierce battle as she attacked.

Meanwhile, his right Sharingan was slowly rotating, staring at Qin Ye in the crowd in the distance.

Danzo's Sharingan belonged to the Uchiha clan genius, Uchiha Shisui.

The power residing in this eye is the 'Kotoamatsukami,' hailed as the strongest illusion technique.

Unlike other illusions, Kotoamatsukami does not require the use of the five senses. It can directly interfere with and manipulate the flow of chakra in the enemy's brain, controlling the victim without their knowledge and altering their will.

The effects of the technique are extremely powerful, but so are its limitations.

Each use requires more than ten years of cooling.

However, Danzo had cells transplanted into him from the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, which shortened the cooldown time to a few hours.

However, compared to other ninjutsu, its cooldown time is still relatively long.

Furthermore, since Danzo was not a member of the Uchiha clan, there were many limitations to his use of the Sharingan. He needed to continuously cast the Kotoamatsukami technique to maintain control, and once he stopped, the effect would be canceled.

As a result, he was unable to freely use the Kotoamatsukami technique.

Otherwise, he alone could have ended the invasion.

Boom boom boom!
A series of explosions from the detonating tags shook the battlefield, and the intense flames completely engulfed Danzo.

The blast sent up debris and dust, leaving a charred crater in the ground, while Danzo's figure had already been reduced to ashes in the explosion.

This scene made Xiao Nan's fingertips tremble slightly, and tears welled up in her eyes.

She finally avenged Yahiko.

However, before her tears could fall, she discovered that Danzo, who should have been killed in the explosion, was standing unharmed not far away, heading towards Qin Ye, who was fighting among the crowd.

No, it wasn't completely unharmed either; one of the Sharingan eyes on its right arm slowly closed.

Xiao Nan frowned, puzzled, and could only loudly remind Qin Ye to be careful.

Qin Ye had already sensed Danzo's movements, and when he saw Danzo rushing towards him, he knew what the old man was up to.

But isn't it too late to take action now?

Coming here for the thrill of sin and the rage of self is just suicide.

Danzo arrived at the edge of the battlefield and leaped onto a protruding earthen wall. Just as he was about to use Kotoamatsukami to control Qin Ye,

Only then did they realize that the entire place was filled with Qin Ye's phantoms.

Even with twelve Sharingan eyes, it's impossible to tell which is real and which is fake.

Just as Danzo hesitated, Qin Ye appeared behind him, a flash of light appeared, and his right arm, covered with Sharingan eyes, was instantly thrown into the air.

The speed was so fast that Danzo didn't even have time to activate Izanagi.

Suddenly, only the right Sharingan remained on his body.

Danzo's eyes widened, his face contorted, and he roared as he turned around, immediately preparing to use Kotoamatsukami on the enemy behind him.

However, there was nothing behind him at all, only a faint, dissipating phantom.

At the same time, another flash of cold light appeared.

A bloody gash appeared on Danzo's neck, and then his head slowly slid off.

But before the head even hit the ground, it vanished into thin air like a bubble.

Not far away, Danzo, missing an arm, appeared panting heavily. His right eye seemed to have lost its power and slowly closed, while his only remaining left eye was filled with fear.

He lost all twelve Sharingan eyes in the blink of an eye, and had no strength left to fight.

Cold sweat soaked his robes, and an unprecedented fear gripped his heart.

At this moment, he was filled with fear of Qin Ye. He had never seen such a powerful person in his life.

He wasn't this afraid, even when facing the Second Hokage.

Danzo no longer cared about Konoha, nor about his subordinates who were still fighting desperately on the battlefield.

Clutching his bleeding wound with his one arm, he staggered away into the distance.

His once dignified face was now twisted into a terrified paleness, and the Hokage hat he had finally obtained was thrown aside, making him look as pathetic as a stray dog.

Qin Ye watched Danzo's hasty retreat and gestured with his chin towards Konan.

Xiao Nan's thin lips were pressed tightly together, and her snow-white paper wings reflected a cold luster in the sunlight.

With a swift movement, she transformed into countless fluttering pieces of paper, sweeping down like a storm of death.

Tens of thousands of pieces of paper rearranged themselves in mid-air, each transforming into a sharp blade, carrying away the hatred accumulated over ten years.

Puff puff.
The sound of sharp blades piercing flesh echoed in the air. Danzo's staggering figure was instantly pierced by countless paper blades, and dazzling flowers of blood burst open on his aged body.

He fell heavily to the ground and fell completely silent.

The ambition to unify the ninja world vanished before it could even be realized.
