As the countdown from the 'sable' reached his ears, Danzo unhesitatingly removed the first shackle.

hum! !

A deep hum resounded, and an extremely powerful aura surged from the arm crafted from Hashirama cells, like a volcano that had been suppressed for too long.

The bandages covering the arm were instantly torn to shreds, revealing a pale arm wrinkled like tree bark, with flesh writhing and swelling wildly beneath the skin!

"Roar!!"

At the same time, the sealing container imprisoning the Hollow was also opened, and the Hollow, which had been in a dormant state, suddenly raised its head and let out an angry and hateful roar at Danzo.

“Now!” 'Mink's' voice was urgent.

Danzo endured the excruciating pain that felt like his body was being torn apart, and poured all his chakra into that terrifying arm.

Wood Release: Explosive Spear Tree!

puff! !

The rapidly hardening arm suddenly thrust forward, with sharp wooden spikes, like spears, proliferating wildly from the front of the arm and shooting out.

Those sharp wooden spikes covered 'Void's' body and also pierced through that pale, bone mask!

Click!

As the mask shattered, the 'Void's' body expanded and exploded, unleashing a torrent of icy spiritual energy like a bursting dam!

Under the watchful eyes of 'Mink' and Danzo, the visible spiritual energy surged into the still-growing arm.

"cough!"

Feeling the icy, bone-chilling aura, like ice needles piercing his arm, Danzo couldn't help but let out a muffled groan.

But soon, the Wood Release ninjutsu, which had been endlessly multiplying and growing like a runaway horse, almost draining Danzo's chakra and about to fill the entire laboratory...

It started, then slowly came to a stop.

Although the pain was still excruciating, the Hashirama cells that were almost draining him were forcibly suppressed!

"This……"

Sensing the two forces in his arm reaching a strange balance, Danzo cautiously began to gradually withdraw those forces.

Click! Click!

The enormous tree that had filled the entire laboratory gradually shrank, and finally, under Danzo's control, it transformed back into an arm.

Danzo looked down at his arm, where his once rough, bark-like, gnarled skin was now covered with several fine black lines.

These lines spread from the palm to the shoulder, and now they wriggle slightly as if they were alive, emitting an aura similar to 'Void'.

At this moment, Danzo could clearly feel that the highly corrosive Hashirama cells in his arm had been forcibly suppressed by that force.

The two have formed a strange balance, no longer an endless rampage and growth, but a force that can be guided.

"Lord Danzo, don't just stand there, move!" 'Mercury's' voice was filled with barely suppressed excitement. "Then try using this arm to perform Wood Release ninjutsu!"

Upon hearing this, Danzo seemed to finally come to his senses. His throat bobbed involuntarily as he slowly raised his mutated arm, spreading his five fingers in front of him before slowly clenching them.

Click! Click!

The knuckles made a slight cracking sound, filled with an unusual power.

It was as if this arm was no longer an external burden, but had truly become a part of his body, with an unprecedented sense of power filling the arm!

"Wood escape..."

Danzo muttered in a hoarse voice, his voice tinged with disbelief and a tentative attempt to channel his chakra into the arm.

The black lines on his arm glowed with a dark light. He suddenly looked up and stared at the high-strength alloy wall in front of him.

Danzo slowly raised his palm and aimed it at the hard glass. He no longer needed to form hand seals; he simply moved his mind.

Wood Release: Cutting Technique.

puff! !

A sharp, hard wooden spike shot out from his palm in an instant.

With a piercing shriek, it sank straight into the wall.

Then, it exploded!

Click! Click!

A piercing, tooth-grinding clang of metal rang out, and the splinter that had been embedded in the metal sprouted sharp branches, instantly scattering a shower of sparks!

The entire laboratory, inside and out, was deathly silent!

Only the piercing sound echoed in the laboratory, along with the rustling of metal shavings falling to the ground.

"..."

Danzo Shimura slowly lowered his arm, looked at the alloy wall covered with spikes and scratches, and then looked down at his own arm.

His face was expressionless, but his single eye burned with an almost manic shock!

It worked!

It really worked!?

"Hahaha!"

Feeling the power that truly felt like an extension of his own arm, Danzo's face, contorted with pain, broke into a smile of ecstatic joy.

"Data! Quick! Record all the data!" 'Mercury's' voice trembled slightly with excitement. "It's perfect! Lord Danzo, this is simply a perfect fusion!"

Danzo ignored 'Sable's' excitement, feeling the power flowing in his palm. The black line brought a slight chill, but at this moment it made him feel extremely excited.

strength!

This is my power!

"not enough."

Danzo looked at the two remaining shackles on his arm and knew that the spiritual energy of a single Hollow was not enough to completely suppress the Hashirama cells in his arm.

Even if the remaining two shackles are removed, the Hashirama cells will still go berserk.

The ninjutsu he can currently use with his power is only at the level of "Wood Release: Wood Spike Technique," but the true power of this arm is far more than that.

"Mink, whatever you want, I'll give it to you."

Danzo looked up at the 'sable' and said in an unquestionable tone, "I need more 'hollows'."

Only by killing more and more 'Hollows' can you fully master the power of this hand!

Upon hearing this, the 'Mink', who had been excited about the new discovery, instantly calmed down. She instinctively wanted to say something, but when she looked up and saw Danzo's eyes filled with nothing but greed and madness...

"..." She silently swallowed her words.

She actually wanted to remind Danzo that although Hashirama's cells were suppressed, the consequences of absorbing large amounts of 'Hollows' were still unknown, and it was uncertain whether his mind and body would be affected by the erosion.

But she obediently kept her mouth shut, because she knew that Danzo wouldn't listen to her now.

Aside from his predecessor Orochimaru, no one understood better than 'Miao' what Wood Release meant to Danzo.

It not only signifies immense power, but also the "position of Hokage".

Wood Release holds special significance for the entire Leaf Village.

Because that was the bloodline limit of the First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, a powerful force that laid the foundation for the entire Hidden Leaf Village. After the First Hokage's death, no one has ever mastered that power again.

Even the experimental subject, "Tenzo," couldn't unleash even a fraction of the power of Wood Release; it was completely different from the Wood Release of the First Hokage.

Therefore, if Danzo could truly master Wood Release, even if he couldn't reach the level of the First Hokage, as long as he could use "Wood Release: Advent of a World of Trees," he would already be qualified to become Hokage.

Not only will the people of Konoha be shocked and delighted, but even people from other ninja villages will feel apprehensive and fearful.

So, in the end, 'Mink' didn't say it.

She knew that those 'virtual' spiritual energies were filled with resentment, hatred, and destructive desires, and the price of absorbing them directly through the body was to suffer those negative erosions.

Ultimately, they may turn into inhuman monsters.

But what does that matter?

Judging from the fact that she used Danzo as her guinea pig, it's clear that she didn't actually have any loyalty to Danzo.

She and Orochimaru are essentially the same kind of person. If Orochimaru wants to grasp all the truths in the world, then what she cares about is exploring the unknown.

The unprecedented existence of 'Hollows' is what intrigued her. She regarded Danzo as her only experimental subject and was eager to know what would be born from the combination of humans and 'Hollows'.

She knew it was a path fraught with danger and taboos, but she was willing to pay any price to explore that unknown territory.

Lord Danzo must have made the same decision.

Chapter 192 Kill them all, Four-Sided Boy!

On the battlefield of the Land of Hot Water, the air seemed to have solidified into thick blood plasma, and every breath carried a heavy smell of rust and burnt flesh.

Jiraiya held "Sloth" in his hand, his blunt broadsword touching the ground. Within the area centered on the tip of the sword, the flow of time was forcibly distorted and stretched.

The "Puppet Master" flew in mid-air, her long purple hair fluttering in the turbulent air currents, a bone mask covering half of her face, and a hint of coldness at the corner of her mouth.

Its slender right hand spread its five fingers, and the five silk threads extending from its fingertips had long been severed countless times.

The two were completely deadlocked at this moment, however, at this crucial moment when most of their attention was focused on each other.

"Kill! For the sake of Kumogakure!"

"Konoha's lackeys! Pay with your lives!"

The Konoha and Kumogakure ninjas, who were originally facing off and on guard at the edge of the battlefield, suddenly erupted into a hysterical roar and clamor.

Dozens of figures dressed in Cloud Village and Leaf Village attire suddenly roared and pounced on the enemy in front of them without warning.

puff!puff!

"what!"

"Damn it!"

Screams, exclamations, and angry curses erupted, and the fragile balance that had been barely maintained collapsed!

The Konoha ninja and the Kumogakure ninja once again clashed, driven by fear and rage to attack and tear each other apart!

In the chaotic battlefield, a figure moved like a ghost, carrying a huge scythe, his eyes filled with frenzied excitement and a thirst for slaughter!

"Get out of my way, all you shovelful trash!"

Hidan let out a piercing laugh, swinging his scythe wildly.

Wherever it passed, whether Konoha ninja or Kumogakure ninja, they were easily torn apart and cut in half by the huge scythe, and blood splattered like a fountain, staining his robes red.

But this time his target wasn't Konoha or Kumogakure, but the 'Hollow' surrounded by a large group of people!

"Roar!"

Seemingly sensing a threat, the 'Hollow' suddenly turned its head, its massive mouth beneath the mask opening wide as it unleashed a Cero!

"Hahaha! A mere trick!"

Hidan laughed wildly, neither dodging nor avoiding, and swung his scythe fiercely at the crimson beam of light!

呲! !

The beam of light was forcibly split in two, as if it had encountered its nemesis, and Hidan's figure rushed out from the middle.

"Such a powerful and alluring soul!"

"Be good and let me offer you to the evil god!"

Hidan appeared in front of the 'Ghost,' his scythe whistling as it tore through the air, and slashed fiercely at the 'Ghost's' body.

Crack! Bang!

His entire body, including the mask, was cleaved in two by the scythe.

The 'Hollow's' black body exploded, and its dark blue spiritual energy surged towards Hidan instantly!

Hidan's eyes blazed with wild joy, and he opened his arms as if to embrace this blessing: "Come! Come! I..."

However, before he could finish speaking...

Swish!Swish!
