"Is he insane?"

On the city wall of the East Coast Market, Kirigakure watched Shimura Danzo charge towards the market and couldn't help but say something.

After all, a whole thousand people were defeated by that man in the market, and defeated in a crushing way. Anyone with a modicum of reason should have chosen to retreat, lie in hiding, or at least take a roundabout route.

"Ignore all that, once they're within range, attack!"

Mei Terumi, however, gave the order directly.

Although she didn't know why Shimura Danzo did this, one thing was certain: he wasn't stupid; he must have had his reasons. Her task was to stop him, kill him, and prevent him from disturbing the recovering Uchiha Fugaku...

"attack!!"

As Shimura Danzo arrived at the foot of the city gate.

At Mei Terumi's command, a barrage of ninjutsu rained down, including her own bloodline limit from the Terumi clan, Lava Release: Lava Monster Technique!

Hot, highly corrosive viscous fluid gushed from her mouth like a giant crimson python, precisely pouncing on Shimura Danzo, who had already leaped into the air and was about to step onto the wall, completely sealing off all of Shimura Danzo's possible escape routes!

Then, Danzo Shimura melted and dissolved like a candle falling into a flame...

"It seems he really has gone mad."

Beside him, the young Chojuro watched as the slime completely engulfed Danzo's figure, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, even clapping his hands unconsciously.

"What darkness in Konoha? I can't stand it..."

"Wind Release: Vacuum Waves..."

A cold and aged voice seemed to be whispering in everyone's ears, but it came from the other side of the city wall, from inside their defenses!

Countless invisible wind blades erupted and danced without warning!

Furthermore, judging from Shimura Danzo's chest, which was almost expanded to its limit, he had prepared this ninjutsu for a long time. Combined with a teleportation ability similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique, it gave the Hidden Mist ninjas almost no time to react...

In an instant, sand and stones flew up from the entire city wall, and the sounds of sharp blades piercing flesh and screams of agony rang out almost simultaneously.

Especially Chojuro, who was about to say something when he felt his body go limp. Looking down, he saw a gaping, bloody hole in his abdomen...

"Chōjūrō!"

Qing's exclamation was filled with shock and anger.

"Ao, you keep an eye on Chojuro. The rest of you, follow me!"

Outside the city wall, Mei Terumi gritted her teeth, glanced at Chojuro, and then led her men out. However, in that brief moment of delay, Danzo Shimura had already used the reverse speed brought by his Wind Release to rush downstairs and quickly headed towards the central area of ​​the market, which was the area where Fugaku Uchiha was at that moment.

On the rooftop, Shimura Danzo, like a nimble cat, rushed towards the square in the center of the market. At the same time, his right eyepatch had disappeared, replaced by a Sharingan with a pattern resembling a shuriken.

That's right, this is the Sharingan he stole from Uchiha Shisui back then.

The Sharingan contains the world's strongest genjutsu!

Through this Sharingan, he looked at Uchiha Fugaku.

He was kneeling in the center of the square, supporting himself with one hand and covering his forehead with the other. His body was trembling slightly, but his chakra was still abundant, far exceeding that of ordinary people. And most importantly, his unique chakra attribute, full of vitality, was something that others could not imitate.

These details perfectly matched the features he remembered from his first observation from a distance on the city wall. He had recorded all of this in advance precisely because he was worried about being deceived.

Then there were more than seventy Uchiha clan ninjas surrounding Fugaku, forming a loose defensive circle. Everyone looked tired and vigilant, and their chakra reactions varied in strength, but they were all real and living individuals, without the uniformity and weakness of chakra that clones had.

"Identified as a real person."

Danzo's last lingering doubt dissipated.

He glanced at Mei Terumi chasing after him from behind, and knew that he only had one chance!

Without hesitation or concealment, Shimura Danzo launched another attack!

Naturally, this commotion did not escape the notice of the Uchiha elites who had their Sharingan fully activated. Almost the instant Danzo landed, more than twenty Uchiha ninjas simultaneously completed hand seals, and a complex and massive combined ninjutsu covered a huge area!

Faced with such an attack, Shimura Danzo did not slow down in the slightest. His expressionless face remained unchanged as he began forming hand seals, and then...

"Wind Release: Vacuum Dayama!"

A highly compressed sphere of chakra erupted from his mouth like a giant bomb, colliding with the flames of the Uchiha clan!

"boom!!"

The convergence of wind and fire only intensified the blaze. The intense heat, combined with the high pressure of the air, caused the flames to explode and rise into the air, resembling a small mushroom cloud from afar...

In this explosion, Shimura Danzo's body was once again engulfed in flames, burned, and completely consumed...

On the Uchiha clan's side, the Jonin were relatively unscathed, but some of the weaker Chunin were blown to bits...

"Died again?"

Mei Terumi, who was less than fifty meters away from the battlefield, was stunned when she saw this scene, and then her eyes immediately began to search around!

Sure enough, inside the Uchiha clan's encirclement, just a few meters away from Uchiha Fugaku—his future husband—Danzo Shimura appeared without warning!

He was still wearing that black and white robe, undamaged, unburned, nothing at all...

"What...what kind of bizarre ninjutsu is this...?"

...

"Uchiha Fugaku!"

In the distance, Shimura Danzo, who had been resurrected once again, looked at Uchiha Fugaku without hesitation!

"Kotoamatsukami!"

He roared inwardly, and the kaleidoscope pattern in his right eye suddenly accelerated its rotation. An invisible and intangible power of the eye crossed a distance of only a few meters and silently surged toward Uchiha Fugaku's eyes, attempting to directly invade the deepest part of his consciousness and cast the strongest genjutsu that could overturn a person's will!

His order was simple: commit suicide!

It wasn't that he didn't want to issue more complex commands, but rather that his right eye, supported by Hashirama cells, allowed him to use it only briefly, while maintaining continuous control over his opponent. Once he stopped, the opponent would revert to their original state.

Given the current circumstances, his situation prevents the equally exhausted Fugaku Uchiha from carrying out more complex orders!

The next moment, Uchiha Fugaku, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly stiffened, and then without hesitation, he pulled out a kunai and stabbed it into his neck. The blade cut through the flesh, severed the trachea, and tore the artery, and blood gushed out like a fountain!

Hot blood splattered onto the bluestone slabs. His body swayed, then crashed heavily to the ground with a thud. Blood continued to gush from the wound on his neck, quickly pooling into a glaring red puddle beneath him...

Time seemed to stand still.

Everyone was stunned.

The expressions on the Uchiha clan members' faces changed from vigilance to confusion, and then from confusion to disbelief.

Their great clan leader, the man who led them across thousands of miles, toyed with Konoha, and created miracles, is dead.

In such a sloppy and absurd way?

"ah--!!!"

A piercing scream, almost breaking the voice, tore through the night sky.

"Shimura Danzo!!! I'll kill you!!!"

Mei Terumi's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. She disregarded tactics, defense, and even her own life. She transformed into a blur and charged towards Danzo Shimura at a near-self-destructive speed!

"Lava Release: Melting Monster Technique!"

Hot, sticky fluid gushed from her mouth like a burst dam, covering twice the area it had before, sweeping, engulfing, and devouring everything in its path!

Wherever it passed, the stone slabs sizzled and hissed as it corroded, emitting pungent white smoke, and even the air became scorching and distorted.

"madman!"

Danzo Shimura's expression changed. He hadn't expected this woman to be so insane, and he hurriedly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

Invisible wind blades slice through the air, attempting to sever the slime-formed substance.

But Mei Terumi gave her no chance. She charged forward while continuously spitting out slime, becoming like a runaway cannon, completely abandoning her defenses and focusing solely on Danzo.

"Lava Escape: Lava Wall!"

She even built a wall around herself with slime, not for defense, but to block Danzo's escape route. The wall sizzled and corroded the ground, turning the area where the two were into a death zone.

Danzo had to repeatedly use the Body Flicker Technique to dodge, while simultaneously unleashing a massive Wind Release technique to break through the lava barriers before managing to escape in a sorry state. If it weren't for the Hashirama cells providing him with a sufficient amount of chakra, he would likely have already been defeated...

However, all of this stunned another group of people...

That's right, they're from the Uchiha clan.

They should have been the most furious.

Given the nature of the Uchiha clan, they should all be going berserk right now, their Sharingan eyes spinning wildly, and some might even have awakened their Sharingan on the spot.

In fact, the Eighth Hokage's three-tomoe Sharingan did start spinning wildly the moment Fugaku fell, with blood vessels covering the whites of his eyes, and the three tomoe spinning faster and faster, as if they were about to merge into a new pattern.

However, when they saw Mei Terumi's even more frantic and hysterical state than theirs...

The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha abruptly stopped his three-tomoe attack.

He opened his mouth, wanting to shout "Avenge the clan chief!", but swallowed the words back.

He watched the woman frantically chasing Danzo through the lava-like slime, and saw the almost destructive madness in her eyes. For a moment, he was at a loss.

"What's going on?"

"The Eighth Hokage of Uchiha murmured, his voice full of confusion."

"You're asking me? Who should I ask?"

A Uchiha ninja next to him shrugged, his Sharingan still in its three-tomoe state, his eyes also filled with disbelief.

"Because our clan chief's greatest wish over the years has been to get married."

Just then, a voice rang out beside them.

Everyone turned around and saw that Ao had arrived at some point. His ninja uniform was stained with blood, which was Chojuro's blood. After confirming that the other party was not in any danger, he rushed over. After all, Shimura Danzo's ability was too strange.

"Over the years, everyone who has gone on a blind date with our clan chief has ended up being unlucky, before they've even exchanged a few words with him."

Qing's voice was filled with helplessness.

"Even the lightest injuries are serious, broken arms and legs are common, which is why no one dares to go on blind dates with our clan leader, who is as beautiful as a flower."

"This time, we finally met Chief Fugaku, a powerful man who wasn't afraid of her 'husband-killing' curse and could lead the Uchiha clan out of their predicament, but..."

Qing didn't finish speaking, but the meaning was already very clear.

...

"Oh, this..."

...

"Retreat now!"

Suddenly, Qing shouted sharply.

"It's our clan leader's Boiling Escape!"

With Ao's furious roar, everyone could clearly see that in the center of the battlefield, Mei Terumi stopped spewing molten liquid, her hands forming a hand seal, and the next moment...

"Boiling Release: Skillful Mist Technique!"

She opened her mouth, and what spewed out was no longer acid, but milky white, high-temperature, high-pressure steam, which corroded everything in its path...

Danzo retreated swiftly, his expression remaining calm. After all, having already made the decision to sacrifice himself, he had no need for any emotional fluctuations.

"I still have one Sharingan left, and I can use Izanagi to revive myself once more..."

But facing Mei Terumi in this state, and with Ao, who possesses the Byakugan, watching her menacingly from afar, there's no chance of escape...

"Since that's the case..."

Danzo clasped his hands together abruptly, bit his thumb, and blood gushed out.

"Spiritual communication!"

"Bang!"

A huge plume of white smoke exploded, and a giant summoning beast, comparable in size to a toad from Mount Myōboku, appeared in the plaza. It had a long nose, large ears, a fat body, and was entirely grayish-white. It was none other than Danzo's summoning beast, Baku!

"Baku! Blow away this steam!"

The Baku opened its huge mouth, took a deep breath, and then suddenly spewed out a violent hurricane!

The wind pressure was so strong that it even lifted the stone slabs off the ground! The milky white, high-temperature steam was blown back by the hurricane, temporarily forcing back Mei Terumi's Boil Release.

"Now—absorb!"

The dream-eating beast opened its mouth wide again, but this time it didn't spit out anything; it devoured everything!

A tremendous suction force erupted from its mouth, like an invisible vortex! Air, gravel, and even distant ninjas were all pulled towards the Dream Eater by this suction force!

Because they were facing the Uchiha clan members in the distance, dozens of people were caught off guard and pulled towards the Baku by the suction force! They struggled in the air, but could not resist the terrifying suction force.

Danzo stood beside Baku, coldly watching everything unfold.

Yes, he decided to take everyone down with him.

He had only one Sharingan left, enough for one more Izanagi attack. So, in this desperate attempt, he dragged the Uchiha clan members into the fray, and then... he died.

Using the last refresh of Izanagi, he moved himself to the central area and used the Reverse Four Symbols Seal to seal everyone within a range of several hundred meters!

This was the last thing he could do for Konoha.

At this moment, an Uchiha ninja who was pulled by the suction force managed to adjust his posture in mid-air, drew his ninja sword from his waist, and used the acceleration of the suction force to stab Danzo fiercely!

The blade flashed like lightning, aimed straight for Danzo's heart!

Danzo saw the stab.

But he didn't dodge.

He even slightly adjusted his posture, aiming the blade more precisely at his heart, because he needed such an opportunity to "die," refresh Izanagi's position, and then teleport among the Uchiha clan to activate the Reverse Four Symbols Seal.

The knife tip pierced his chest.

A cold, sharp pain came through.

Danzo waited.

Waiting for Izanagi to activate, waiting for time to reverse, waiting for "death" to be rewritten as "dream".

But...

Nothing happened.

The pain persisted, and blood gushed from the wound, staining her clothes red.

Danzo was stunned.

He looked down at the ninja sword piercing his chest, then looked up at the Uchiha ninja holding the sword.

The face of the "Uchiha ninja" was slowly changing; the black sludge receded, eventually revealing a face he recognized.

Uchiha Fugaku.

At this moment, the man had a smile on his face and clear eyes.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, Elder Danzo."

Fugaku spoke softly, his voice not loud, yet it carried clearly throughout the entire plaza...
