"BOOM!"
After sliding for a good distance, Danzo's body slammed into a large tree and finally stopped.
In the violent impact, Danzo's Edo Tensei body shattered, turning into a cloud of paper ash that continuously flowed back toward him.
"Hiss!"
Sucking in a cold breath, Danzo was inwardly shocked.
That last strike felt like taking a full-power blow from Hiruzen's Adamantine Staff in his prime.
The problem was, Hiruzen relied on his own immense strength and the power of his summon to deliver such an attack.
But that brat, a mere Mizukage's bodyguard from Kirigakure…How could he?'
Danzo was utterly perplexed, but ultimately had to attribute the reason to the patterns on Mangetsu's body.
'Yes, only that thing could cause such a powerful change in that brat!'
After experiencing such an attack once, Danzo also understood somewhat why Kirigakure was so confident, daring to bring so many Sealing Team's members with just two attackers.
'However, if the earlier brat was already this powerful…'
As if suddenly remembering something, Danzo looked up at the sky in shock.
Rumble rumble-
Lightning flashed.
A bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, directly hitting Ameyuri, who held the Lightning Blades.
And this bolt of lightning was like the fuse that ignited a bomb!
Instantly, the Blut Arterie that hadn't lit up on Ameyuri before now ignited all over her body.
The bright light practically turned Ameyuri into a person of light!
Then, Danzo understood why, according to intelligence, Mangetsu also liked Ninja Swords, but the one holding the ninja sword now was Ameyuri.
Because after charging up, dazzlingly brilliant light erupted from Ameyuri's body, so bright that even closing your eyes felt like daytime.
Rumble rumble rumble-
Fierce thunder filled the sky and land, lightning fell from the sky as densely as raindrops.
The dense lightning continuously bombarded the crowd. Konoha's Edo Tensei Ninjas would instantly turn into smoke and vanish upon touching the lightning, only to slowly reform later.
With such overwhelming numbers, the lightning seemed less like lightning and more like liquid thunder being poured down from a thunder pool.
Under the baptism of this thunderous water, the entire battlefield seemed to have been washed clean!
"The sky... the sky!"
Lucky not struck by the lightning, Danzo stared in shock at this scene, just like the first time he witnessed Sora's attack.
But the problem was, attacks like this previously required Sora himself, or a Kage-level powerhouse, to perform.
But the one on the other side was just an underage Mizukage's bodyguard from Kirigakure. Could you believe it?
Danzo certainly couldn't.
However, the facts were before his eyes… he had to believe it whether he wanted to or not!
Danzo's expression turned grave.
'Such power, such strength... if every battlefield has this...'
Instantly, Danzo thought of a terrifying possibility.
If this possibility were true, then Konoha's attack this time was a complete joke, utterly failing to probe Sora's situation!
Yes, probing Sora's situation was Konoha's goal.
After that discussion, Konoha had also obtained intelligence about Sora's disappearance.
However, a person's reputation is like a tree's shadow.
The shadow Sora cast over Konoha was immense.
If Obito hadn't repeatedly guaranteed it, Konoha wouldn't have believed him at all.
Therefore, this attack was primarily for probing. All units were spread out very thinly, focusing on dispersed attacks to make Kirigakure struggle to cover all fronts.
But now, Danzo hadn't expected that before Kirigakure could struggle, they themselves would be toyed with by Kirigakure's flexible transportation.
And what Danzo didn't know was that Mei's preparations for this battle didn't stop there.
To maximize effectiveness, she mobilized Kirigakure's strongest fighters to the greatest extent for this battle.
Mei not only provided the frontline commanders with three-pronged kunai but also gave the reinforcement elites three-pronged kunai.
As soon as one battlefield was dealt with, they could immediately use the kunai to summon Minato, who would then transfer them to the next battlefield.
So, Kirigakure would grow stronger the longer the fight went on.
Of course, Danzo didn't know this, so he started running again.
At this moment, Danzo had only one thought in his mind: 'I must deliver this news to the others!'
'We absolutely cannot let Konoha suffer further losses. It's a trap!'
Attaching Wind Attribute Chakra to his body, Danzo began to run.
But then, another arrogant voice sounded in front of Danzo.
"Hehe, I specifically told Ameyuri not to strike you, but I never thought you'd try to run?"
"Hey, old man, even though you're younger now, I recognize you. You're Konoha's 'Darkness of the Ninja World', right?"
"The esteemed Darkness of the Ninja World, in a state where you can revive infinitely, and you don't even dare to fight?"
Mangetsu's mockery was maxed out.
"Hmph!" Hearing Mangetsu's words, Danzo snorted heavily and turned around.
"Brat, I'll make you pay the price!" Danzo threatened.
"Then come at me!" Mangetsu said nonchalantly.
