Naruto: By lying low and hiding, he eventually became the leader of the Legendary Sannin.

"I'll help you hold off these Konoha pursuers."

"Have Shota Futata drop off my companion, then you can leave directly."

Seeing the thoughtful expression on Hanzo's face, Kagura said:

"Perhaps you don't know who this person in front of you is. His name is Danzo, and he is the Jonin leading our Team 7."

Most importantly…

He paused for a moment before continuing:

"Most importantly, he is the leader of Konoha's 'Root'."

You could also interpret him as the mentor of a large portion of the Anbu in Konoha.

Based on my understanding of him, he must have sent a message to the nearby secret service before making his move.

I'm sure those secret agents are already on their way.

If you continue to hesitate, you might not be able to leave later, even if you wanted to.

As Kagura explained, Hanzo's hesitation gradually faded, and he regained his calm expression.

Without saying much, he replied to Kagura with a single word:

"it is good!"

Then, he turned to Shota Futata and gave him a concise command:

"Let him go!"

Shota Futata frowned, unwilling to release his only hostage so easily.

He wanted to question Hanzo at that moment: Why do you believe that brat's words?

But seeing the unwavering look in Hanzo's eyes, he still backed down.

He clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and roughly pushed the already unconscious Jiraiya forward.

Seeing Jiraiya rushing towards him, Orochimaru immediately rushed over and picked up the collapsing Jiraiya.

Tsunade glared angrily at Shota Futata, then immediately went to check on Jiraiya's injuries.

At this moment, Jiraiya's eyes were closed, and a lot of blood was flowing from his body. Almost all of the darts had sunk into his body, with only a small part sticking out.

She quickly pulled out all the darts and immediately used a healing technique to stop the bleeding. Only after feeling Jiraiya's breathing gradually become stable did Tsunade feel relieved.

She nodded to Kagura, who was looking at her, indicating that Jiraiya was not in any danger.

Seeing Tsunade's signal, Kagura secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After sending Jiraiya away, Hanzo didn't waste any more words. He grabbed Shota Futata and ran off into the distance.

As for Danzo, he did not stop it from beginning to end, but simply watched it all with indifference.

It wasn't that he tacitly agreed to Kagura's so-called deal; he was just well aware that, with Hanzo on guard, he had lost the possibility of capturing Futata Shota alive.

Only after Hanzo had gone far away did he slowly speak:

"Speaking of which, I'd really like to know what trump card you have to offer such a deal."

What makes you think you have the ability to stop me?

Looking at Kagura, he glanced casually at her right hand and continued:

"Based on that lightning escape technique you just used?"

Indeed, that move was very fast and quite powerful.

But you should know very well that, given my preparation, you have no chance of hitting me.

Speaking of which…

At this point, he slowly narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Kagura as he spoke:

"Golden Horn must have died from that move."

Lightning Release damage, the trail of that straight sprint several hundred meters long.

I see......"

Ignoring Danzo's speculation, Kagura calmly looked at him and said:

"Yes, your suspicions are indeed correct."

That's why I've been trying so hard to hide this ninjutsu from you.

However, you're mistaken about one thing: this isn't me hindering your confidence.

At that moment, the three-tomoe pearls in Kagura's eyes, which were staring at Danzo, began to slowly rotate.

He continued speaking at a steady pace:

"Haven't you always been curious about the Sharingan and the power of the Uchiha clan?"

"I'll show you what I'm made of today!"

Looking at those rotating Sharingan eyes, Danzo felt as if he were trapped in those eerie eyes, staring intently and unable to look away.

It felt like an instant, yet also like an eternity, before Danzo finally regained consciousness.

A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes as he became aware of his surroundings.

At this moment, the environment in which the two were located remained unchanged, although it would not be accurate to say that it remained unchanged.

Tsunade and the others who should have been behind Kagura were nowhere to be seen, and the night sky had also changed.

The starlit night sky was gone, replaced by a blood-red sky.

The surrounding trees turned into complete black shadows, standing abruptly on the ground like silhouettes.

Kagura smiled slightly, stretched out her arms, and said:

"Welcome to my world."

Despite the changes around him, Danzo remained completely calm.

He looked around and said:

"Is this an illusion created using the Sharingan?"

"Ha, if it's just a mere illusion, it probably won't be able to trap me."

Hearing this, Kagura laughed even more heartily.

Ha, mere illusion?

This is an S-rank ninjutsu, the signature technique of the genius Uchiha Itachi—Tsukuyomi.

Yes, this is the S-rank ninjutsu that Kagura drew after killing Kinkaku last time.

However, after drawing the jutsu, Kagura encountered a problem: he found that he could not fully unleash the jutsu.

Although it's just an S-rank ninjutsu like Kotoamatsukami, Kagura finds that she just can't release it perfectly.

After struggling with this for a long time, he realized that it might be because he still had the two-tomoe Sharingan.

Both Tsukuyomi and Kotoamatsukami are genjutsu that rely on the Sharingan to function.

Therefore, the level of the Sharingan plays an absolutely crucial role in the effectiveness of these two abilities.

In fact, Kagura always felt that she had not fully unleashed the power of Kotoamatsukami.

As a ninjutsu hailed as the "strongest genjutsu," Kotoamatsukami seems to have too many limitations in his hands.

In each battle, if you encounter an opponent stronger than yourself, this move is almost useless.

However, all of this disappeared after Kagura broke through to the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Just now, Kagura vaguely sensed that the constraint that had previously limited her ability to use Tsukuyomi had disappeared.

With a "let's give it a try" attitude, it actually started successfully right away.

Hearing Danzo's dismissive remark, Kagura's lips curled up slightly.

He responded calmly:

"Really? Then give it a try."

Danzo frowned upon hearing Kagura's confident words.

However, he still raised one hand to form a hand seal and shouted:

"untie!"

However, all his actions were like those of a clown, and the surrounding scenery remained unchanged.

At this moment, Danzo finally showed a hint of panic on his face.

Seeing this, Kagura spoke again:

“I’ve given you a chance, now it’s my turn.”

No sooner had he spoken than Danzo found himself bound to a cross, with Kagura holding a familiar short sword in her hand.

Kagura was carefully examining the short sword in her hand, saying as she looked at it:

"Hmm, is this the sword you were just about to stab Jiraiya in?"

Indeed, the workmanship is quite good.

Without saying anything more, Kagura raised her short sword and thrust it towards Danzo.

The pain of his flesh being pierced by a sharp blade was clearly transmitted to Danzo's brain.

He grunted and glared angrily at Kagura.

However, despite his angry glare, Kagura maintained her smiling expression.

He reached out and grabbed at the air, and an identical short sword reappeared in his hand.

He approached Danzo and whispered gently in his ear:

"Don't worry, we have plenty of time to play."

As he spoke, he thrust the short sword in his hand forward again.

Time passed slowly, perhaps in 5 minutes, perhaps in an hour.
