Naruto: From Fake to Real, Deceiving the Ninja World.

Stupid!

A clear, resonant sound of a blade suddenly rang out.

Hinata Kumokawa's right hand, which had been lightly resting on the hilt of his sword, moved so fast that it was just a blur. A ring-pommel sword with a blade gleaming with a chilling light was drawn from its sheath!

If it were only one strike, Danzo might have been able to block it with his "Ranking Technique".

The cold light that Hyuga Kumokawa unleashed from right to left was like a silver moon, blooming into a crescent moon under the bright moonlight overhead.

If it were just one strike, perhaps Danzo's defense could hold.

However, it is a pity.

Bah! !

With a sword swing that was almost invisible to Hyuga Kumokawa, the bright silver moon in the night sky seemed to be shattered in the eyes of the Konoha people below who were looking up.

One way, two ways, three ways...

Countless arc-shaped blades overlapped and intersected, pouring down upon the black shield of the demon's face!

Bang! !

The black shield only managed to resist the combined slashes for a moment before being torn apart and shattered into countless wooden fragments starting from its center!

Amidst the flying sawdust, Danzo Shimura's face, twisted in horror, came into view.

"Anbu, heed my command!" Hyuga Kumokawa stood with his sword drawn, his voice icy. "Slay this scoundrel and wipe out the remaining poison of Konoha!"

"Yes!"

The elite members of the secret service, who were already filled with righteous indignation and ready to act, responded in unison.

One after another, figures shot out like arrows, launching a relentless attack on the deformed and twisted monster from all directions!

Kunai, explosive tags, ninjutsu... all kinds of attacks turned into a deadly rain, pouring down on Danzo who had lost all his defenses!

Danzo was about to be completely overwhelmed by the combined attack of the group...

"stop!"

A loud, angry shout from an old man suddenly reached everyone's ears!

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the battlefield, standing between Danzo and the Anbu members' attacks!

It was Hiruzen Sarutobi who rushed to the scene upon hearing the news.

At this moment, he had already taken off his usual divine robes and was now dressed in black ninja attire, with the incredibly thick Vajra Ruyi Staff tightly tucked between his arms.

Faced with the onslaught of countless attacks, his arm muscles bulged as he swung his Ruyi Jingu Bang in front of him and then formed hand seals.

Whoops! !

The thick Vajra Ruyi Cudgel spun in front of me at an astonishing speed, and a strong whirlwind suddenly arose from the ruyi cudgel, the airflow hissing and transforming into a tornado!

"Give it to me, come here!"

With a low growl, Hiruzen Sarutobi grabbed the Ruyi Jingu Bang in front of him, and using his waist to generate power, he used a tornado to carry the ninja tools and ninjutsu towards an empty open space in the distance!

boom!

The ninjutsu and explosive tags that were thrown away exploded violently in the distance, and the surging shockwaves swept over, reflecting on Hiruzen Sarutobi's face, which was filled with solemnity and anger.

He was old, and the sudden burst of power made him gasp for breath. He abruptly looked up at Hyuga Kumokawa in the air and demanded, "What are you doing?!"

"Advisor Hiruzen." Hyuga Kumokawa frowned slightly, looking down at Sarutobi Hiruzen, and said calmly, "Isn't the situation clear enough?"

Do I need to explain further?

Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart sank. He turned around and looked at the deformed and twisted creature in the pit behind him, recognizing Danzo Shimura.

He had only sensed Danzo's presence from a distance, and that Hyuga Kumokawa and the others were attacking Danzo, but he hadn't expected...

This time, he saw it clearly: the Sharingan, the Byakugan, and the Wood Release!

Hiruzen Sarutobi was struck dumb, his face turning deathly pale.

Sharingan, and Byakugan?!

Danzo, he actually...

Chapter 378 This Third Hokage is probably completely finished.

No! wrong!

After a moment of shock, a question suddenly popped into Hiruzen Sarutobi's mind.

Danzo had already used the "Caged Bird Seal" to control Hyuga Kumokawa, hadn't he?

Otherwise, given his personality, how could he have gone to such lengths to help Hyuga Kumokawa become Hokage?

What does this matter now? Why is Hyuga Kumokawa able to ignore the "Caged Bird Seal" and kill Danzo without any scruples?

How did Danzo end up looking like this, neither human nor ghost? Was it simply because the experiment went out of control?

Just as his mind was in complete chaos, trying to untangle this tangled mess.

"Advisor Hiruzen!" Hyuga Kumokawa's icy voice rang out, interrupting his thoughts, "Why aren't you moving aside?"

“During your reign, Shimura Danzo and his subordinates repeatedly rebelled, assassinated and eliminated dissidents. Every single one of these acts was supported by irrefutable evidence, but you always chose to condone them!”

"By now……"

Hyuga Kumokawa's gaze was sharp, as if it could pierce through Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart: "Do you still intend to protect this guy who trampled on the lives of his comrades for your own selfish reasons?"

“If that’s the case, I absolutely disagree!” he said, emphasizing each word. “I will never let anyone who attempts to threaten my comrade’s life get away with it!”

Upon hearing Hyuga Kumokawa's question, Sarutobi Hiruzen's breath hitched, but he still forced himself to remain calm and composed: "Fifth Hokage! There must be more to this than meets the eye!"

"Even if Danzo has committed countless crimes, he should at least be sealed away first, interrogated, and the truth should be uncovered. He shouldn't be killed on the spot..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Hinata Kumokawa seemed to sense something, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and his aura exploded.

"Final warning," he suddenly raised his voice, "Get out of the way immediately!"

hum! !

A massive surge of chakra erupted from his body, instantly covering his entire body in a shimmering, deep blue chakra cloak!

Two black chakra beads appeared behind him, indicating that he had entered the [Tenseigan Chakra Mode]!

This power brings not only a sacred aura but also a suffocating sense of oppression!

However, Hyuga Kumokawa's sudden and extreme actions only fueled Hiruzen Sarutobi's growing doubts.

Even the onlookers could see Hyuga Kumokawa's urgency.

What happened? Could it be...?

"Wait! Yunchuan!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted under the pressure, "Why are you so determined to kill Danzo immediately? Is there something between you and him...?"

But this time, Hinata Kumokawa didn't give him any more chances.

"Stubborn!"

Hinata Kumokawa's blade slashed horizontally, sweeping out an arc comparable to a crescent moon, which bloomed into a crescent moon under the bright moonlight.

A highly refined wind blade, as thin as a cicada's wing, shot out, tearing through the air with a piercing shriek, and slashed horizontally towards Shimura Danzo below!

Its momentum was so fierce and its range so wide that it completely disregarded Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was blocking its way!

"This guy really is trying to silence me!" Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression changed as he felt the undisguised, chilling killing intent emanating from him.

He gritted his teeth, disregarding everything else, and used the Instantaneous Movement Technique, his figure blurring instantly and disappearing from the spot.

呲!

The wind blade grazed past the afterimage left by Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Wherever it went, the menacing black forest was cleanly cut horizontally, and the upper parts of the trees slowly slid down along the smooth cut surface!

Danzo's deformed body, which had merged with the tree, was easily cut in half at the waist!

However, the next moment, everyone who witnessed this scene, including Hiruzen Sarutobi who had just regained his footing in the distance, suddenly became extremely astonished.

There was no blood splattering from the cut of Danzo, which had been cut in half, nor were any internal organs scattered. Instead, the cut surface revealed the wood grain.

The upper and lower body sections quickly lost their vitality, turning into two lifeless wooden figures.

Is this... Wood Release: Wood Clone Technique?!

In the final battle at the Valley of the End, Hashirama Senju used this ninjutsu to deceive Madara Uchiha, who possessed the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and delivered the final blow.

Even Madara Uchiha couldn't see through the clone technique, so who among the Konoha people present could possibly decipher it?

In that instant, everyone suddenly realized why Hyuga Kumokawa had acted so hastily earlier; he must have sensed something unusual about Danzo.

But it was...

Everyone instinctively looked at Hiruzen Sarutobi, their eyes and expressions gradually changing.

"Hmph! Want to escape?"

Hinata Kumokawa's eyes flickered slightly at first, then his face turned gloomy, he snorted coldly, and his eyes shone with a dazzling light.

In an instant, an invisible yet powerful sense swept across the entire area, centered on him!

Every ninja below clearly felt a terrifying sense of being watched, as if they were seen through from the inside out, with all their secrets exposed.

This gaze pierced through layers of ruins, through twisted trees, and through the earth.

Hinata Kumokawa suddenly turned his head, his gaze fixed on a certain direction.

In his vision, a deeply hidden chakra was frantically fleeing like a stray dog.

This ability is somewhat similar to White Zetsu's "Mayfly Technique," which merges the body with the earth and vegetation, allowing for high-speed movement using the roots of underground plants, completely severing one's breath.

"Got you."

Hinata Kumokawa held nothing back, suddenly raising his right hand. The two floating chakra beads behind him transformed into two streams of light and flew into his loosely clenched hand!

hum! !

A dazzling golden light gathered in his palm, and a golden lightsaber exuding a sacred aura quickly took shape in his hand.

It's a weakened version of the [Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion].

The next moment, Hinata Kumokawa swung his arm down, and the golden lightsaber tore through the sky, slashing straight down at the locked target.

Wherever the lightsaber passed, the dense trees that blocked perception, and even the lingering smoke and dust, were completely annihilated the moment they came into contact with the golden light.

As the golden light descended, everyone saw a deformed figure, missing both arms and covered in mud, staggering and fleeing like a dog.

Sensing the presence behind him, Shimura Danzo turned around.

The three tomoe in his Sharingan spun wildly, almost merging into one.

What was reflected in his eyes was that golden light that filled his entire field of vision, representing death!

Golden light engulfed him.

No screaming, no struggle.

The instant he touched the golden light, Shimura Danzo's body melted away like ice and snow under the sun, silently disintegrating and dissipating into the most primordial dust.

The light dissipated.

The ground was like butter cut by a hot knife, leaving a deep and wide trench that stretched into the distance, and there was nothing in the trench.

There was deathly silence between heaven and earth.

The Konoha members, including Huang Tu and the two Yugito, all stared blankly at the empty ravine and the devastated battlefield around them.

Danzo Shimura is dead?

Danzo Shimura, who had lurked in the shadows for decades, sucking blood from Konoha for decades, and was known as the "Dark of the Ninjas," died just like that.

Danzo Shimura, who stole the power of Wood Release, Sharingan, and Byakugan and became a terrifying monster, died completely, like an insect that had been crushed.

The silence was broken by a sigh of relief after a few breaths.

Wood Release holds a very special significance for Konoha.

Everyone in Konoha grew up hearing the myth of how the First Hokage used "Wood Release" to quell the chaos and establish Konoha.

In their minds, Wood Release is almost synonymous with "invincibility".
