Bzzzt, bzzzt, bzzzt!
Intense crackling electricity emanated from the Lightning Blades after Ameyuri channeled her Chakra into it.
Under the effect of the Lightning Blades, fierce thunder roared, and dark clouds began gathering in the sky.
Seeing such an astonishing display of power, Mangetsu couldn't help but feel somewhat displeased: "The Lightning Blades was just given to you like that? Mei-sama is really playing favorites!"
"Hehe, who told me I performed the best in the technique acceptance trials? Good weapons naturally need good people to wield them!" Ameyuri said proudly.
"Hmph!" Mangetsu snorted coldly again.
However, he couldn't say more. Although he truly desired the Ninja Swords greatly, in the end, saying it once could be venting emotions, and the other party understands, so it's harmless.
But saying it a second time starts to change the tone, and a third time would be deliberately picking a fight.
The current Kirigakure wasn't suited for things that undermined unity.
Thus, Mangetsu turned his attention back to Danzo in front of him.
At this moment, being completely ignored by the two, Danzo was extremely angry: "Brat, how dare you ignore me like this!"
"Wind Release: Wind Shuriken Technique!"
Danzo took out two shuriken and blew on them lightly.
Instantly, gas infused with dense Wind Attribute Chakra enveloped the shuriken.
Spinning at high speed, the normal shuriken were enlarged by the ninjutsu to the size of a palm.
Holding the giant shuriken, Danzo threw them at the two.
With Danzo's strength, and not lacking Chakra after the Edo Tensei, such a probing shuriken attack's power even surpassed his peak period.
Looking at the attack he had launched, Danzo felt very satisfied inwardly: 'It seems even in this state, my strength is continuously improving!'
'Hmph, just two little brats. Watch me handle them effortlessly!'
After feeling smug and satisfied for a while, Danzo looked at Mangetsu and Ameyuri.
But with that one look, Danzo's eyes suddenly widened.
He saw that facing his sharp Wind Shuriken Technique, Ameyuri paid it no mind at all, simply focusing on channeling Chakra into the Lightning Blades and using it to gather lightning for charging.
Thus, both shuriken, which had some distance between them, were left entirely for Mangetsu to handle alone. He had to deal with both shuriken simultaneously.
But the problem was, the shuriken had already reached Mangetsu's face!
'He could no longer dodge!'
Danzo made his judgment.
He had sufficient confidence in his own assessment.
However, as if today was meant to prove him wrong, facing the Wind Shuriken that had reached his face, so close he could feel the wind on his facial hair, Mangetsu's eyes narrowed.
The next second, from Mangetsu's body surface, patterns of an icy blue color spread out.
And the moment these patterns appeared, Mangetsu's aura began increasing exponentially!
Originally, at most an Elite Jonin, Mangetsu instantly transformed into a Kage-level presence, and a relatively powerful one at that.
Facing the incoming shuriken, Mangetsu drew the sword at his waist.
This sword, aside from being sturdy and sharp, had no other enhancements, completely lacking the special properties of a Ninja Sword.
Yet, the moment it left its sheath, instantly, a pure white full moon slowly rose!
Under Danzo's horrified gaze, the full moon rising from Mangetsu's body erased his attack like an eraser.
From start to finish, Danzo's attack left not a single trace.
"What... what is this situation?"
Looking at the patterns on Mangetsu's face, Danzo was shocked.
He searched his mind frantically for an answer: 'Cursed Seal? Sage Mode? Secret Technique?'
However, no matter how hard Danzo thought, he couldn't find anything that matched the patterns before his eyes.
Seeing Danzo's utterly perplexed expression, Mangetsu smiled smugly: "Konoha bumpkin, stunned, aren't you? This is the blessing our Mizukage-sama bestowed upon us!"
"Its name is Blut!"
"The power of Blut is not something you dead people can hope to match!"
"Now, let me show you!"
As the words fell, Mangetsu stepped forward, shooting out like a cannonball.
Holding the sword, Mangetsu instantly arrived before Danzo.
In response, Danzo hastily drew his ninja sword to counter.
Clang!
The two swords, of roughly similar craftsmanship, scraped against each other, producing intense sparks.
However, since the craftsmanship was similar, the pressure shifted to the people wielding the swords.
Seeing Danzo could still barely match his strength, Mangetsu grinned ferociously: "Let me correct myself. It seems you do have some skill."
"Of course, not much skill!"
"So, get lost, you old man who reeks of decay, even though you look young!"
After speaking, Mangetsu erupted, sending Danzo flying heavily!
Boom boom boom-
Danzo's out-of-control body skipped across the ground like a stone on water!
