Lava Release Chakra Mode, activated!

The moment this mode was activated, Lao Zi's entire body was enveloped in high-temperature lava.

While enhancing Lao Zi's defense, it also made him both offensive and defensive. The lava wrapped around his body left a trail of lava burn marks wherever it passed.

Moreover, all objects within its radius that it came into contact with could not withstand the high temperature and slowly turned to ashes.

The Four-Tails Jinchuriki, Roshi, leaped into the air and hovered for a while before plummeting down like a fiery meteor, crashing into the Konoha defenses and splashing up large amounts of lava.

boom!

laugh!

The impact, carrying the molten lava, swept towards the group of Konoha ninjas, turning them into human-shaped charred remains before they could dodge.

"Water escape!"

"Use Water Release!"

"Are you out of your mind? Using water-based escape techniques at this temperature... what about the resulting high-temperature steam?!"

"Never mind! Use Water Release!"

Old Purple's entrance was shocking, and it also caused a stir among the Konoha ninja. Moreover, the Konoha ninja found a way to deal with it in the shortest amount of time.

Although it wasn't the most suitable solution, it was the only one that the Konoha ninja could think of.

Water Escape: Great Waterfall Technique!

Dozens of Konoha ninjas worked together to unleash a powerful water flow that was almost like cutting off a section of a waterfall, maximizing both impact and water content.

"Water Release is indeed effective against my Lava Release..."

Looking at the overwhelming curtain of water, Old Purple shook his head, "But this level of Water Release is... the best assist for my Lava Release!"

The art of melting escape and burning river rock!

He took a deep breath, and Lao Zi's chest bulged like a balloon.

Then, it opened its mouth and spat out several lava fireballs connected end to end, which turned the land into magma wherever they passed, like a fiery red river that rushed towards the huge torrent of water.

Sizzle...!

Like a red-hot iron block being dropped into cold water, a continuous hissing sound accompanied by a large amount of water vapor instantly filled the nearby battlefield.

"Cough cough... It's so hot..."

"Wind Release...use Wind Release..."

"I can't open my eyes...it's too hot!"

"Watch your step!"

Although this level of steam couldn't compare to the high-temperature steam of Han, it still caused a lot of trouble for the Konoha ninja.

They immediately began to chatter amongst themselves, preparing to use Wind Release ninjutsu to disperse the flames. However, the scorching fireballs and fiery streams that Old Purple spat out rushed to the feet of the Konoha ninjas at that moment!

Unable to react in time, his clothes were instantly ignited, followed by his flesh and subcutaneous fat, until his entire body was turned into a fireball and burned to ashes...

While this method of death wasn't as gruesome as the Konoha ninjas who were steamed to death by Han's high-temperature steam, it wasn't far off.

At least the level of pain at the time of death is about the same; the only difference might be that Lava Release dies faster, while Boil Release dies much slower...

In contrast, the situation was much more harmonious with the frontline troops in Sunagakure.

Because Chiyo used poison, some of the Konoha ninjas became weak and powerless, and after struggling for a few moments, they became victims of the Sand Ninjas' blades.

Regardless of whether the process of dying is easy or painless, it still results in a series of lives disappearing without a trace in an instant.

War has always been a manifestation of violence.

No matter how righteous it was portrayed beforehand, in the end it's just humans killing each other.

However, due to differences in allegiances and force fields, war creates a distinction between heroes and enemies...

"Lord Danzo! Let's retreat!"

"Yes, Lord Danzo, let's retreat!"

"Our defenses crumbled at the first sign of trouble, and it's only been less than fifteen minutes since the start of the battle!"

"Dead, all dead..."

"..."

Faced with an overwhelming massacre, the Konoha ninjas, being human as well, were bound to experience fear and suffer mental breakdowns.

puff!

Danzo Shimura remained unmoved and instead personally killed a Konoha ninja who was shouting for retreat.

"Anyone who undermines morale shall die!"

With Shimura Danzo's actions and his sharp shout, the remaining Konoha ninja who were preparing to retreat fell silent, a hint of despair flashing in their eyes.

"Our rear lies the unprotected heartland of the Land of Fire!"

"Our rear is our empty village!"

"The daimyo of the Land of Fire is right behind us!"

"retreat?"

"Where to retreat to?"

Danzo Shimura stood up. "Some people may call me cruel, selfish, or a real villain!"

"But so what?"

"At least I know that when it is my turn to die protecting Konoha and the Land of Fire, I will die without hesitation!"

Shimura Danzo drew his ninja sword from his back, the tip pointing directly at the surging army of the combined forces of the Wind and Earth kingdoms.

"Kill with me!"

"For Konoha!"

"For the Land of Fire!"

"kill!"

Danzo Shimura led the charge, followed by the remaining Konoha ninja, who fearlessly clashed with enemies a hundred or even a thousand times their size.

Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, Shimura Danzo and his men held out for less than five minutes before being swallowed up by the crowd...

“I’m going to die…”

Danzo Shimura lay on his back on the ground, the bandages that had been wrapped around half of his face had all fallen off, revealing his three-tomoe Sharingan that he had been hiding for a long time.

However, this Sharingan didn't do much good, as half of his body was now shattered.

"But I haven't become Hokage yet..."

Izanagi!

All of Danzo Shimura's negative statuses were removed, and he was revived from his death state, fully recovered, and once again attacked the allied forces of the Wind and Earth Kingdoms from the side.

However, the price of Shimura Danzo's resurgence was the loss of his only three-tomoe Sharingan, and he was once again severely injured after being reborn.

"I'm really not reconciled..."

"The Hokage position was originally mine!"

"Hiruzen, I hate him!"

"However... I guess I've done my duty as Hokage..."

Resentment, anger, and joy flashed through Shimura Danzo's eyes in an instant, but as a breeze blew by, the last glimmer of light in Shimura Danzo's eyes also dissipated.

Danzo Shimura is dead.

Danzo Shimura, who had always aimed for the Hokage position, died.

He may have died a heroic death, but that cannot cover up the crimes he committed in the past.

But the crimes he committed in the past cannot obscure his true love for Konoha.

Although the position of Hokage was more important, Danzo Shimura made his choice at this point.

The dead are gone; the reign of the ruthless Danzo Shimura has come to an end…

"Am I late?!"

Shortly after Danzo Shimura's death, Minato Namikaze, Jiraiya, and Akira Hatake arrived late.

The battlefield was ravaged and littered with corpses; the traces of the great battle were still very fresh.

"He is... Danzo Shimura, isn't he?"

Akira Hatake, with his sharp eyes, glanced around the battlefield before fixing his gaze on Danzo Shimura's corpse.

"It's him."

Jiraiya's voice was low, filled with surprise, pleasure, and a touch of sadness, "I never expected him to choose this way..."

"It's quite unexpected." Minato Namikaze didn't offer much of an opinion, but his words revealed his true feelings.

"Perhaps he hasn't degenerated to a certain extent yet..."

Akira Hatake had reached a conclusion: "His original ideals should still have some traces left, not yet erased. If it were delayed for another ten years or so, then it would be hard to say."

Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya both glanced at Akira Hatake, both quite surprised.

It seems like Akira Hatake knows Danzo Shimura better than both of them combined...

“But no matter what… Shimura Danzo is still a high-ranking official in Konoha.” Minato Namikaze took out a sealing scroll. “Let’s bring him back to Konoha for burial.”

"As for our other comrades who have already sacrificed their lives... we can only search for their bodies another day!"

Minato Namikaze sealed Danzo Shimura's body into a scroll, then slammed his palm against the ground.

Earth Escape·Yellow Quan Marsh!

The earth suddenly turned into a swamp, and the corpses of the Konoha ninja quickly sank into it and disappeared.

The ninjutsu was stopped, and the earth returned to its original state. Minato Namikaze then stood up.

"Now, it's time for us to avenge our comrades!"
