"Bring Danzō Shimura in here alone. I'm going to kill him here."
"What?!"
"Are you serious, Sasuke?!"
Sasuke's expression was serious. He had never been the type to joke around in the first place, so Naruto, Young Obito, and Young Kakashi were all stunned.
"Hanzō of the Salamander isn't someone we can handle, but I have the memories and experience of Sasuke Uchiha from another world when it comes to dealing with Danzō Shimura." In the previous parallel world, Young Sasuke, who had experienced the lives of Sasuke Uchiha and Itachi Uchiha, had killed Danzō Shimura eleven times.
Unlike Sasuke, who had some confidence, everyone else's first reaction was: Hanzō of the Salamander is not someone we can handle! Danzō Shimura isn't either! Don't make it sound like Danzō Shimura is easy to deal with!
Sakura reminded him, "But we're only thirteen or fourteen. In terms of combat experience, we can't compare to Danzō at all."
Sasuke did not speak, but everyone could tell his mind was made up.
"But you said 'we,' right?"
The one who spoke was Naruto.
Naruto understood how stubborn Sasuke could be sometimes. At a time like this, instead of trying to talk him out of it, it was better to think about how to help him.
"The Sasuke from the other world had to kill Danzō Shimura alone, but now there are six of us! If each of us adds one year to Sasuke, then Sasuke would be ten... ten..."
Naruto strained to calculate it in his head. Sasuke was thirteen, and if he, Sakura, Obito, Kakashi, and Rin each added one year...
"That's eighteen, you super idiot," Sasuke laughed and scolded him. "Who calculates age like that?"
Young Kakashi said, "The Second Hokage was right. Naruto, you really are a natural airhead."
"Hahahaha, the Second Hokage called Minato-sensei a natural airhead too. Maybe that's his way of acknowledging people, just like how Sasuke calls Naruto and how you call me 'dead last.'"
Young Obito slung an arm around Young Kakashi's shoulder, fully showing off his social butterfly side.
Thanks to Naruto's silly, simple-minded thinking, the atmosphere loosened up a lot. At the same time, the trust between "comrades" gave the children the confidence to fight Danzō Shimura.
Young Kakashi said, "All right. If Sasuke insists, we'll make a battle plan."
"Yes, Captain Kakashi!" Obito shouted, making Young Kakashi feel especially uncomfortable.
Even through the mask, it was easy to guess that he was blushing.
Rin smiled quietly, while Naruto burst out laughing and said that even now, looking back on it, it still felt unbelievable to see what Kakashi-sensei looked like as a child.
He was completely different from Kakashi-sensei as an adult.
Hearing that, Sakura, Sasuke, and the three members of Team Minato all found it a little unbelievable too.
But in the next moment, the three from Team Minato remembered that Obito's SSS-rank mission had already been completed. Perhaps once they left this world, they would return to their own era. Their smiles gradually faded.
After spending so much time together, they were reluctant to part with Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
"Do you need our help too?"
Yahiko suddenly spoke up at that moment. "Danzō Shimura is our enemy too. He contacted Hanzō of the Salamander, and together they plotted against the ninjas of the Land of Rain. Whether it's Danzō or Hanzō, what they've done is no different from treason!"
"Mm!"
"Yahiko is right!"
Nagato and Konan nodded at the same time, showing that they were both willing to help Sasuke, Naruto, and the others kill Danzō Shimura.
"Save your strength. If it becomes necessary..." Young Kakashi said, "you may have to fight a hard battle against Hanzō of the Salamander. Besides, Konoha's affairs should be handled by us from Konoha."
That was right.
Konoha's affairs should be settled by Konoha.
As for the Land of Rain...
Akatsuki should purge it themselves!
After finalizing the battle plan, Young Obito confirmed that everyone else was ready.
Once he received their answers, Danzō Shimura's feet were suddenly sucked away as if by an invisible current, and he vanished right before the eyes of the Konoha ANBU.
It was too fast and too sudden. Danzō Shimura tried to save himself, but at most, he only managed to grab one nearby ANBU and drag him into Obito's Kamui's Dimension with him.
Izuna Uchiha, who had been secretly watching, could not help widening his eyes in shock when he saw Obito's black eyes turn into scarlet three-tomoe Sharingan, then shift again into a windmill pattern.
Mangekyō Sharingan?!
He had awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan at such a young age?!
Izuna had understood what they said just now too. It seemed they wanted to bring an enemy directly before them.
The next moment, a short-haired man with his right eye wrapped in bandages appeared.
It was that Uchiha boy's Mangekyō Sharingan ability!
Did it pull someone from far away to him? Or was it some other ability?
And what connection did it have to this vast, empty village?
Izuna Uchiha's mind was full of questions. He decided to observe a little longer before going out to ask the two clan members what was going on.
Speaking of which, one of those two clan members looked very much like him when he was young. Maybe they were even related? Could he be his brother's son or grandson in the future?
Not far away, Sasuke, Naruto, Obito, Kakashi, along with Rin and Sakura, had already begun fighting Danzō and the ANBU he had dragged in.
According to the battle plan they had made earlier, Naruto and Sasuke, as well as Young Obito and Young Kakashi, coordinated very smoothly.
Although Young Obito could not use Intangibility while inside Kamui's Dimension, the Taijutsu and battle awareness he had gained through special training recently were already enough to shock Danzō Shimura.
After all, during the era of Konoha's founding, the two of them had been personally trained by Madara Uchiha, their own ancestor!
Looking at those rather familiar patterns of offense and defense, Izuna Uchiha became even more certain of the identities of the two Uchiha boys in his sight.
Sakura and Rin held back the Konoha ANBU. Both of them had shifted toward the path of Medical-nin, so in combat, they easily found the enemy's vulnerable points. It did not take long for them to subdue that Konoha ANBU and move to support Naruto, Sasuke, and the others against Danzō Shimura.
After suffering several losses from carelessness, Danzō Shimura grew anxious.
He tore off the bandage over his right eye, revealing the Sharingan transplanted into it.
In the distance, Izuna Uchiha's eyes instantly flashed scarlet and transformed into Sharingan. The other party was clearly an outsider! How did he have Sharingan?! There was no doubt about it. He had gouged it out of a living clan member's eye and implanted it into his own socket!
Danzō Shimura.
He was from the Shimura Clan!
Izuna cursed inwardly, already prepared to jump out and fight at any moment.
On this side, Sasuke could not help activating his three-tomoe Sharingan as well.
"The man who hates the Uchiha most is obsessed with the power of the Uchiha Sharingan. What a vile, disgusting man."
Hearing Sasuke's insult, Danzō Shimura snorted coldly. "Your clan kept a member with Mangekyō Sharingan hidden away without reporting it to the Hokage. Your hearts deserve death as well!"
As he finished speaking, Danzō Shimura charged straight at Sasuke.
After using the Sharingan, his speed became even more vicious and sharp than before.
At this point in time, Danzō Shimura did not yet have the arm full of Sharingan. Although he did not possess Izanagi and therefore still feared death, he also did not rely only on the power of the Sharingan the way he would in later years.
Without Susanoo, Sasuke and the other five children truly were no match for Danzō Shimura.
Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato watched anxiously. But since they had promised the children they would not interfere, they would not act rashly unless there was no other choice.
After a while, the battle plan they had made earlier was basically exhausted.
Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura.
Obito, Kakashi, Rin.
The six of them gradually fell into a difficult position in their fight against Danzō Shimura.
Rin had used several large-scale Water Release techniques, and her own chakra had long since run dry, so she began using the Three-Tails' supply. But she had not been the Three-Tails Jinchūriki for very long and could not unleash the true power of the Three-Tails. As for Tailed Beast Outer Cloak mode, that was a technique Minato Namikaze had explicitly forbidden both Rin and Naruto from using.
Naruto also wanted to borrow some chakra from the Nine-Tails, but the Nine-Tails did not respond.
Thinking the Nine-Tails still refused to lend him chakra because they had not fully reconciled, Naruto did not ask again.
Little did he know that when Izuna Uchiha activated his Sharingan, the Nine-Tails had already sensed the Uchiha chakra coming from that direction.
Earlier today, Sasuke had already used Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi once while saving Naruto from Hanzō of the Salamander.
The Mangekyō Sharingan was an enormous strain on his chakra at his current age. With Sasuke's present level, it would be very difficult for him to activate it a second time.
Young Kakashi had plenty of combat experience, but his strength was far below that of the adult Danzō. On top of that, Danzō's sinister tactics had caused him quite a bit of trouble. Fortunately, Rin and Sakura kept rotating in to support and heal them.
"Right now, Danzō only has one Sharingan. At the very least, we need to force him to use Izanagi once!" Enduring the pain, Young Kakashi urgently worked out a new strategy with the others on the battlefield.
Sasuke looked at Naruto. "Can you borrow chakra from the Nine-Tails? I need to use Blaze Release: Kagutsuchi."
"Kurama won't answer me. I don't even know what I did to annoy him."
Obito wrinkled his nose. "That fox is way too tsundere and way too hard to please!"
Danzō attacked again. Sasuke and Young Kakashi were already stretched thin trying to deal with him.
At a critical moment when Young Kakashi nearly got beheaded, Young Obito directly used one of his trump cards, the power of Wood Release inside his body.
Countless wooden spikes forced Danzō Shimura to retreat.
"The First Hokage's Wood Release?! Evil Uchiha!!" After recognizing it as Wood Release, Danzō once again cursed the entire Uchiha along with him.
The other side of Obito Uchiha's Wood Release was smooth and rounded, perfectly protecting Young Kakashi.
"That was close." Rin let out a sigh of relief. "Obito's control over Wood Release has improved."
If they had not been on the battlefield, Obito would have scratched his head and grinned foolishly because of Rin's praise. But with the situation so urgent, all he could do was calculate his remaining chakra and think about how to fight Danzō Shimura.
In the shadows, Izuna Uchiha nearly wondered if he was dreaming when he saw a member of the Uchiha Clan using Wood Release. If this was his brother's descendant, how could he possibly have Hashirama Senju's Wood Release?!
Holy crap! He could not think too deeply about this!
At that moment, the slightly impatient Sasuke was caught by Danzō Shimura, who seized an opening in his defense and captured him alive.
"Sasuke!!"
Naruto shouted and leapt over to save him.
But Danzō Shimura did not intend to give them that chance.
"You brats who know nothing of the darkness of the Ninja World, I'll teach you here and now. Your tuition will be paid with the Mangekyō Sharingan of you two brats!"
Danzō's fingers dug toward Sasuke's eye.
Obito used Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, but it was too slow!
Just then, a huge gourd-shaped gunbai completely blocked Young Obito's view.
Someone held the fan by its handle and pushed Obito's Great Fireball toward Danzō Shimura.
It was so fast the naked eye could not follow it. In an instant, it slammed into Danzō Shimura.
The powerful force sent him flying, smashing through the walls of countless houses before burying him deep in one wall, stuck so firmly he could not be pried out.
As for Sasuke Uchiha, who had been held in Danzō's hand, he realized that someone had rescued him even earlier and was holding him now.
Who was it?!
That speed was so fast!
Was it the Flying Thunder God Technique?!
…
Facepalm. I gave Izuna a Mangekyō Sharingan ability as a personal setting.
It isn't the Flying Thunder God Technique, but it is also a Dōjutsu born on his deathbed as a response to the Flying Thunder God.
Readers who have seen the ABO Naruto World might know what ability it is.
