Naruto: Starting with Creating a Genius Persona

Chapter 192 Meeting the Teacher Openly and Frankly (Part 2)

His report interrupted the Third Hokage's turbulent thoughts. The Third Hokage's gaze sharpened, and all distracting thoughts were instantly suppressed. After a moment of thought, he said, "Quickly finish this! Don't let them send any signals or ask for help."

"yes!"

The moment the order was given, the Third Hokage's figure shot out like lightning, transforming into a blurry black streak in the dense forest.

Behind them, eight hundred elite soldiers spread out silently like shadows, forming an invisible net that enveloped the Cloud Hidden Squad, who were unaware of the impending doom.

The inexplicable tremor in the Third Hokage's heart did not dissipate; on the contrary, it became more pronounced with each heartbeat.

But he knew that whatever awaited him ahead, he had to keep moving forward.

In the mountains and forests, a fierce wind swept through, its howling force transforming into a murderous aura that soared to the heavens!

The wind and lightning intertwined into a net, the clanging of swords clashing was incessant, and the dense, hidden clouds, like a black tide, surged wave after wave toward the lone figure in the center.

Danzo Shimura moved like the wind, fighting and retreating within the encirclement, constantly moving around. Although he was determined to die, he was by no means a foolishly brave man.

.

He knew better than anyone that this battle was never about winning, but about delaying the inevitable.

The longer they hold out, the greater the chance that kid will escape.

Even so, the encirclement of Yunyin was visibly tightening, and the space he could move in was becoming narrower and narrower, making each dodge more and more dangerous.

"How much longer until Lord Troy arrives?!" A Cloud Village commander stared at the figure in the arena with a livid face.

He was surrounded, he was all alone, and he had even lost sight in his right eye, limiting his vision.

But that guy seemed to grow stronger and more ferocious with each battle, and in a short period of time, nearly a hundred of his colleagues fell to his blade.

"The signal was given three minutes ago!" the subordinate beside him quickly replied. "We just need to hold him off until Lord Troy arrives!"

"good!"

The commander nodded, refocusing his gaze on the field, his eyes flashing with a cold light: "Even if we can't catch up with Shinichi Higashino today, we will leave this Ninja Darkness here forever!"

puff!

Inside the arena, Shimura Danzo dodged another attack by sidestepping, and with a backhand slash, pierced the attacker's throat, warm, sticky blood splattering onto his cheek.

He didn't know how long he had been fighting, nor how many enemies he had killed.

However, under the relentless onslaught of the Cloud Village ninjas, who initially numbered over a thousand but have now grown to two thousand, he has accumulated countless wounds.

Deep! Shallow! Bleeding! Charred black!

There are knife wounds and traces left by ninjutsu on it.

Once the number of ninjas reaches a certain level—ten, a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand—…

The challenge is no longer a simple addition, but a geometric increase.

After all, not everyone is like Hashirama Senju or Madara Uchiha, whose strength allows them to overpower the many and suppress a country or a large ninja village single-handedly.

For regular ninjas, the number of people often determines life or death, victory or defeat.

In the ninja world today, who can endure the longest and achieve the most brilliant victories amidst the siege of ninja armies?

Aside from Minato Namikaze, who possessed the Flying Thunder God Technique and could appear and disappear without a trace, it's hard to say. Perhaps only the Third Raikage could be mentioned.

Even if his strength may not be considered the strongest among the current Five Kage, his body, known as the "strongest shield," gives him an almost invincible margin for error.

In the current ninja world, the vast majority of ninjas and most attacks are nothing more than mosquito bites to him, unable to shake him in the slightest.

But Shimura Danzo was different.

Even if he resolves his inner conflict and elevates his will, even if his current strength is something that even the Third Raikage cannot underestimate, the reality before him is...

Even when surrounded by an army of over ten thousand men and subjected to a relentless attack, the Third Raikage could fight for three days and three nights.

He, surrounded by two thousand Cloud Shadows, might not even last half an hour.

Because his tolerance for error is too low.

Every kunai that came flying, every ninja sword that fell, every ninjutsu that was released.

He had to be careful, he had to dodge, he had to block, because each of these attacks could cause him real damage.

Not only is his defense far inferior to the Third Raikage, but his strength, speed, and reaction are also inferior to the Third Raikage. All he can rely on is decades of accumulated combat experience, superb Wind Release skills, and that burning passion that will never be extinguished until the very last moment!

"call!"

Danzo Shimura let out a heavy breath. White mist condensed into clumps in the cold night sky. His lungs felt like they were being burned. His arms trembled slightly from continuously swinging his sword. Waves of dizziness from blood loss began to assault his consciousness.

But his hand holding the knife remained as steady as a rock.

His gaze swept over the crowd surging forward again, and he suddenly tugged at the corners of his mouth, a smile that could hardly be called a genuine smile.

"Come."

He muttered to himself, whether to the enemy or to himself, it was unclear.

"Let me experience what it felt like for my teacher back then."

As soon as he finished speaking, instead of retreating, he advanced, taking a step forward and charging out. His right hand wielded the knife and slashed swiftly, while his left hand rapidly formed hand seals as he charged forward.

The blade was about to slash at the two Cloud Village Chunin charging at the front, but at that moment, a sense of crisis that was absolutely not unfounded surged up in his heart.

Right side!

That direction, completely blind due to the loss of sight in the right eye!

Storm Release: Resilience and Determination!

A laser beam crackling with pale arcs of electricity shot out from the blind spot of his vision at near-instantaneous speed, like lightning tearing through the night!

The one who made the move was none other than Troy, a top-tier Jonin from Kumogakure. He had already arrived with reinforcements and delivered a silent and deadly blow!

Danzo Shimura's mind went blank for a moment, and he instinctively tried to dodge to the side, but the two Cloud Village ninjas in front of him were like madmen, throwing themselves at him and using their own lives as a lock to tightly bind his escape route!

laugh!

At the critical moment, Danzo twisted his body sharply, and the Storm Release beam grazed the outside of his left arm, instantly carbonizing his clothes and causing a burning pain in his skin, which also made him pause for a moment.

Before it could even stand still...

"Lightning Release: Lightning Serpent!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Ball!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Spear!"

Blinding bolts of lightning struck from multiple directions, illuminating Danzo's entire body in a ghastly white light.

He had no time to catch his breath and could only rely on decades of combat instinct to dodge another wave of attacks with lightning speed.

But just as he dodged a ball of lightning to the side!

Dozens of uniquely shaped square shuriken flew through the air in eerie arcs!

clang clang clang!

Danzo Shimura drew a semi-circular blade with his katana, clashing fiercely with the shuriken, sparks flying, and deflected all the dozens of square shuriken that were attacking him.

Just then, three more exceptionally large square shuriken shot out simultaneously from three tricky blind spots!

Shimura Danzo suddenly shifted his feet, his body flashing to the left. The sword in his hand narrowly grazed his head, the sharp wind severing a few strands of his hair.

However, a strange scene happened.

The three shuriken that had just been dodged suddenly stopped in mid-air, as if their trajectories had been forcibly twisted by an invisible force. They drew a sharp angle in the air at a completely physics-defying angle and slashed towards his location again!

At the same time, a strange and surging suction force suddenly came from the katana in his right hand!

It was as if countless invisible hands were gripping the blade tightly, dragging it in a certain direction. In that instant, his swinging motion was uncontrollably halted for half a beat.

Magnet Release: Suzumebachi Twin Blades!

This is a ninjutsu that Troy is proud of, consisting of two attacks.

The first step involves touching an enemy or their weapon to apply a magnetic mark.

In the second stage, the marked target can no longer escape the attack of his magnetic ninja tool!

In the instant of parrying, Danzo Shimura's katana had already been unknowingly imprinted with an invisible magnetic mark.

not good!

Danzo Shimura's pupils contracted sharply, and he made a snap decision to loosen his grip on the hilt of his sword.

But it only took the blink of an eye.

For ordinary people, this is just a short break between breaths.

But for the ninjas fighting on the battlefield, especially for Shimura Danzo who was constantly besieged, he had already wasted too much time!

"die!!"

Several dark figures, who had been gathering momentum, suddenly sprang up like black lightning from Danzo's right blind spot. Holding ninja swords, the blades flashed with icy killing intent, and slashed down with all their might towards Danzo's neck, which was completely exposed due to his sluggish movements!

brush! !

A cold glint flashed, and blood splattered.

An arm gripping a katana drew a tragic arc in the air before crashing heavily into a pool of blood with a loud thud.

"All three generations of lords have been dealt with!"

The group of Konoha ninjas reported to the Third Hokage in the center.

Hiruzen Sarutobi held the Vajra Staff, with five shattered corpses of Cloud Village lying at his feet, but his expression was somewhat dazed, his gaze fixed on the darkness in the distance, and the inexplicable tremor in his heart was growing stronger.

Upon hearing this, the Third Hokage was about to speak when the Vajra Staff in his hand suddenly trembled, and the Monkey King's deep voice came from within the staff: "Hiruzen! Shinichi is summoning me!"

The Third Hokage's gaze sharpened, and almost without thinking, he said, "Go there right now!"

"good!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Vajra Ruyi Cudgel turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Almost simultaneously, Aburame Shi, a Jonin of the Aburame clan, strode forward and said in a deep voice, "Third Hokage! I've made contact with Shinichi's squad!"

The Third Hokage turned around abruptly, his voice urgent, "Where are they now?!"

the other side.

Danzo Shimura staggered backward, his left hand tightly covering the wound on his severed arm, blood still gushing out from between his fingers.

At the critical moment, although he turned his head to avoid the fatal blow aimed at his head, his right arm was still severed at the shoulder!

He glanced down at his empty right shoulder, then slowly raised his blood-stained face, looking at the cold-eyed Troy not far away, and the Cloud Hidden Army, layer upon layer, its killing intent boiling ever higher.

Am I going to die?

The dizziness caused by massive blood loss was like a cold tide engulfing his consciousness, but at this moment he felt no fear at all, instead a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Even the earlier anxiety about "how to face the teacher" had completely vanished.

He certainly did many wrong things in his life, hiding in darkness and staying away from the light.

But those things are no longer important now.

The rest is up to the teacher to judge.

Thinking this, Danzo Shimura took a deep breath, but his vision in his only remaining left eye became increasingly blurry and shaky.

But he still stood tall and did not fall, even though he had lost the hand that held the knife.

"Kill him!" Troy said coldly.

With this command, countless Cloud Village ninjas surged towards the lone figure like a black wave.

Right now!

A terrifying pressure, as vast as an ocean, as heavy as a mountain, and as violent as heavenly fire, suddenly descended from the sky, enveloping the entire battlefield!

"What?"

All the Cloud Village members froze in their tracks, and even Troy's pupils shrank as he looked up in horror!

"Be careful!"

Troy, being the strongest among them, reacted the fastest, immediately issuing the order while his hands flashed out a hand seal.

The next moment!

A colossal pillar, as black as ink, as thick as a small mountain, and of unknown length, tore through the night sky, carrying a piercing shriek that seemed to tear the atmosphere apart and a violent aura capable of destroying everything, and crashed down heavily from the sky toward the Cloud Village army that was surging toward Shimura Danzo!

Brute! Fierce! Domineering!

Before the giant pillar even arrived, the violent wind pressure had already crashed down, causing the ground to collapse and crack, with soil and rocks churning like waves, and surrounding trees snapping and flying in patches!

But at this critical moment, Troy's magic was complete!

"Storm Release: Storm Dragon Wave!"

He pushed his palms forward, and a huge light dragon made of pure white laser roared and burst out of the air, its mouth wide open, crashing straight into the destructive staff shadow that was falling from the sky!

Light and shadow, thunder and stick, collide fiercely in the night sky!

Boom!

The violent explosion transformed into a blinding sphere of bright white light, which instantly expanded and burst open!

A terrifying shockwave, mixed with countless blazing white light spheres, swept out in a ring, directly blowing dozens of Cloud Hidden figures in the front row away. Shattered rocks and broken wood scattered wildly like a torrential rain!

In an instant! Dust and smoke rose into the sky like a tsunami, obscuring the stars and moon and drowning out all vision!

Amidst the overwhelming smoke and dust and the still-lingering turbulent energy, a tall figure wielding a long staff landed steadily on the ground like a rock, his back to Danzo, standing in the center of the position.

"Hiruzen?"

As his vision grew increasingly blurry, Shimura Danzo stared at the figure wielding a staff, indistinct in the haze before him, and blurted out instinctively, "What are you doing...?"

""

However, as the smoke and dust slowly settled and dissipated, and the bright light gradually subsided, outlining the silhouette of that figure bit by bit, Shimura Danzo's only remaining left eye suddenly contracted violently, and he cursed out loud!

"You bastard!!!"
