Traveling through three generations: Making Konoha great again!

Their fists collided.

Hiruzen Sarutobi and Danzo Shimura tacitly avoided using ninjutsu or chakra.

They tested each other's strength in their original form.

The habit from twenty years ago has not been forgotten even after twenty years.

It's a classic opening line.

After exchanging punches, the two seemed to finish their warm-up, each striking once and then withdrawing.

They returned to the two ends of the training ground.

Danzo Shimura appeared calm and collected, but he pretended to be taking out a kunai, and quickly rubbed his hands behind his back.

pain!

"Hiruzen's power is wrong, what's going on?"

"Although he has cultivated the Yin Seal, his strength is much greater than when he was young..."

"Could it be that it can develop a second growth spurt?"

A thought flashed through Shimura Danzo's mind, but his actions were swift.

In the blink of an eye, he had already grasped several shuriken in his hands, and wind-style chakra wrapped around the blades, causing the sharpness to increase several times in an instant.

With a powerful swing, it hurtled towards Hiruzen Sarutobi at an odd angle, accompanied by a shriek.

"Sizzle..."

Lightning covered Hiruzen Sarutobi's body, stimulating his physical activity.

Faced with the wind-style shuriken coming from all directions, Hiruzen Sarutobi focused intently on their trajectory, neither dodging nor avoiding them, but charging straight towards them.

Just as the blade was about to reach him, Hiruzen Sarutobi leaped up like a monkey, his movements fluid and graceful, managing to slip through the tiny gap in the attack while maintaining his speed.

His nerve reaction speed, his physical agility…

Just as he had sensed, he was indeed undergoing a "second development" as the village grew.

"Has his fighting style become more aggressive?"

Danzo Shimura's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath, quickly formed hand seals, and accumulated a large amount of chakra.

Wind Escape, Vacuum Jade!

Like a real compressed air cannon, it arrived with a roar.

Danzo Shimura believed that even a master like Hiruzen Sarutobi, who could unleash multiple ninjutsu simultaneously, was capable of such feats.

It's also extremely difficult to do this while under conditions of surging Lightning Release chakra...

But that's what he was thinking.

A thick earthen wall rose up from the ground, stopping the momentum of the vacuum jade.

Immediately, a raging inferno, carried by the wind, swept towards Shimura Danzo.

"It's that trick again..."

"Hiruzen's Fire Release is such a perfect counter to my Wind Release!"

"Cancel Lightning Release Chakra Mode in an instant? You're something else, Hiruzen..."

Danzo Shimura quickly retreated, his clothes were dark and his hair smelled burnt.

It's quite a high burn...

Specializing in Wind Release, he didn't have a good solution for such a complex ninjutsu.

Danzo Shimura quickly formed hand seals, seemingly trying to dodge in a disheveled manner, but he was actually gathering and compressing wind-style chakra in his mouth.

"My Wind Release technique is even faster, Hiruzen!"

This is his latest achievement!

Wind Release: Vacuum Heavy Bullet!

Through more sophisticated changes in properties and morphology, speed and penetration are further enhanced, and it becomes even more covert.

It is perfect for turning the tables on an enemy when they are feigning defeat and taking advantage of their moment of arrogance.

This technique was inspired by his teacher, Tobirama Senju.

Tobirama Senju has a technique called "Water Release: Heaven's Cry".

The name sounds fancy, but it actually involves collecting compressed water under the tongue.

In close combat, it is used to unexpectedly spit out the weapon, thus piercing and killing the enemy.

Amidst the wind and fire, lightning flashed once more.

Hiruzen Sarutobi walked through the sea of ​​fire and headed straight for Danzo Shimura.

Lightning Release Chakra Mode is incredibly useful for enhancing a ninja's battlefield adaptability. Like this battlefield engulfed in flames, without this protective shell…

To get through, you have to slow down, which gives the enemy another chance to catch their breath.

Danzo Shimura deliberately turned around, listening to the sound of the wind chasing behind him, and judging the distance.

He turned around abruptly.

The wind-style chakra, like that of a heavy cannon, burst forth, accompanied by a deafening sonic boom, tearing out plumes of white smoke in the air!

"Got it!" Shimura Danzo was secretly pleased, but then realized a problem.

This move is too insidious and not suitable for sparring; if something bad were to happen...

Hiruzen Sarutobi had no time to consider Danzo Shimura's thoughts.

In fact, this was exactly the sparring effect he wanted. He was fully focused from the beginning and did not underestimate Shimura Danzo in the slightest because of his past record.

He is the Kage, the Hokage of Konoha Village.

The enemy he was facing was the most powerful and cunning enemy in the entire ninja world. They wouldn't talk about fairness or morality with Hiruzen Sarutobi; they would only try every means to kill him.

Almost at the same moment Danzo turned around.

Hiruzen Sarutobi unleashed his Lightning Armor to its fullest extent, ending the operation of his Lightning Release chakra mode.

The expanding lightning armor separated from the body, resembling a spherical protective shield.

Hiruzen Sarutobi raised a finger, and instantly entered the enhanced state of Earth Release: Earth Spear!

The vacuum bullet collided with the lightning armor. The wind-repelling-lightning attribute easily tore through the shield, but ultimately slowed down the attack.

Hiruzen Sarutobi adjusted his stance, bracing himself with one hand to dodge most of the projectiles. Two heavy bullets grazed his shoulder and wrist, producing a metallic clang.

The moment his palm touched the ground, a thick pillar of earth slammed into Shimura Danzo from behind.

Danzo Shimura suddenly turned around and braced his feet against the earthen pillar, but he was still pushed back.

In mid-air, he struggled to adjust his direction, his eyes narrowing as he watched the electric sparks surging from Hiruzen Sarutobi's body.

This means we're going to have to fight in close quarters again.

He exhaled a high concentration of Wind Release chakra, which coalesced into a sharp blade.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Blade!"

Unexpectedly, the electric light on Hiruzen Sarutobi's body only flashed by for a moment before he quickly formed hand seals.

A massive surge of water from the ground formed a sphere that captured Danzo Shimura within it.

He won this crucial ninjutsu duel!

Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly appeared beside the water prison, his palm crackling with lightning.

When water and electricity were mixed together, Shimura Danzo, who still wanted to resist, suddenly lost all his strength and trembled like a leaf.

But he still tried to gather chakra and refused to admit defeat.

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, put a cigarette in his mouth, and shook his head: "Then you'll have to wait a bit, won't you?"

Anyway, it's not like I'm the one getting electrocuted.

Danzo Shimura's face darkened, and he quickly blinked, indicating his surrender.

The water prison suddenly burst open.

A stray arc of electricity struck the cigarette butt, igniting a spark.

Hiruzen Sarutobi exhaled a thick cloud of smoke and stretched. "Your move was pretty good..."

"If I hadn't known how strong you were and hadn't been on guard, I might have fallen for your trick..."

Hiruzen Sarutobi chuckled and said, "I've won against you again by sheer luck, Danzo."

Danzo Shimura gave a weak smirk. A stroke of luck?

He'd heard that Hiruzen Sarutobi trains every morning, and that he works hard behind the scenes while appearing relaxed, right?

With the great assistance of the Hokage, he wouldn't be fooled by that despicable monkey!

A moment later.

"You always get lucky... Oh well, I didn't expect to beat you like this even once." Shimura Danzo recovered and said sullenly.

"Take a break, or get up?" Hiruzen Sarutobi reached out his hand to Danzo Shimura.

After a slight hesitation, Shimura Danzo grasped the hand and used the leverage to slowly stand up.

"Hiruzen, tell me, where am I lacking?" he asked sincerely.
