Above the bridge, the old, cunning Danzō, surrounded by the Akatsuki organization, was drenched in cold sweat. Even every breath felt like a bone-chilling stab.
'I'm going to die! This is truly a deadly situation!'
"Hokage-sama, hurry and go! I'll hold them off!" Fu was loyal as always, shouting.
Danzō was extremely annoyed.
'You hold them off? What can you do?!'
'There are nine enemies, all Kage-level, and most can't die because of Edo Tensei.'
'You alone want to hold them off? Even a hundred like you wouldn't be enough!'
Danzō was now full of regret.
Regretting not holding out and fighting alongside Ōnoki!
At least they could have defeated Deidara and wouldn't have been trapped in a siege like this!
But regret was now too late; it was useless.
The only thing he could do was fight for his life, trying to find a gap to escape!
Although it looked like a dead end, and the two of them were clearly no match for Akatsuki, Danzō had no intention of giving up.
Nagato and the other Akatsuki members seemed to be just watching, not in a hurry to intervene.
Now, the only ones he had to face were Sasuke and the Edo Tensei Itachi.
And with the immunity time of Izanagi, using a tactic of exchanging injuries, he could capture Sasuke alive!
As long as he could capture Sasuke and use him as a hostage, there might still be a chance to escape!
◆━⊰✧⊱━◆
"That arm, is it? Full of sinful Sharingan! For this evil desire, how many Uchiha did you kill?"
Sasuke, filled with killing intent, growled.
He saw Danzō's right arm, filled with six Sharingan, four others having already been used in previous fights.
Every Sharingan represented a blood debt!
Reminding him of the night of the Uchiha clan massacre, his parents lying in a pool of blood...
Burning anger surged in Sasuke's chest, almost consuming him entirely.
"Uchiha Sasuke, you're still alive! Where is Uzumaki Naruto?"
Danzō retorted while looking for an opportunity to attack.
"Still on the verge of death and you still care about that loser? He's much more troublesome than you..."
"So that's it, the Kyuubi Jinchūriki is still safe."
Danzō muttered in relief. Of course, he didn't care about Naruto, only worried whether the Kyuubi had fallen into Akatsuki's hands.
From Sasuke's tone, it was likely that Naruto hadn't been captured yet...
That was enough!
"Danzō, why did you force my brother to kill the entire Uchiha clan?" Sasuke asked his final question.
Danzō smiled coldly: "Why?"
"What a stupid question! Itachi, even though I don't know who's controlling you now, bringing such a stupid younger brother for revenge isn't like your usual style..."
Danzō didn't dare to look at Itachi, afraid of being immediately caught in his terrifying genjutsu.
Izanagi might be immune to most genjutsu, but not all; especially Itachi's genjutsu, he had to be very wary.
"Shut up! Keep your filthy mouth away from my brother!"
"Amaterasu!"
Sasuke immediately released Amaterasu; black flames instantly engulfed Danzō's body.
"Attack!"
Danzō gave the order to Fu.
Who immediately understood Danzō's hand signal and attacked backward to restrain Itachi.
Meanwhile, Danzō had already activated Izanagi, changing the reality where he was burned by Amaterasu into an illusion; his body recovered, and he directly attacked Sasuke in front.
He had to defeat and capture Sasuke within the time Fu held off Itachi to have a chance to escape!
"Is this the Izanagi my brother spoke of? The Uchiha clan's forbidden technique, but stolen by a bastard like you!"
"Damn it!"
Seeing Danzō come back to life and attack, Sasuke recognized Izanagi.
Ironically, as the true descendant of the Uchiha, he was the one who least mastered his clan's secret techniques.
Fortunately, he had already been informed about this by Itachi during their previous 'heart-to-heart talk,' so Sasuke didn't need to analyze Izanagi while fighting.
"Your Sharingan will be mine!"
Danzō lunged at Sasuke; his Shunshin was incredibly fast, like a nimble old dog.
"How dare you!"
Sasuke immediately activated Susano'o, even directly reaching the second form with the cloak.
During this period, with the boost of boundless hatred, the power of Sasuke's eyes and physical abilities continued to increase rapidly.
From before the Kage Summit, equivalent to the white-clothed Sasuke, he was now almost on par with Naruto Sage Mode.
In just a few hours, surpassing years of others' training, demonstrating the superiority of the Uchiha bloodline and the power of hatred fueling spiritual energy.
At this moment, Sasuke's Susano'o arrow pierced through Danzō.
Danzō relied on Izanagi's immunity, not dodging, changing reality into an illusion again, coming back to life, and directly approaching Sasuke.
*BOOM!*
Susano'o unleashed two more arms, punching Danzō!
The enormous force instantly created a deep hole in the stone bridge; Danzō himself exploded like a watermelon, blood and flesh scattering, a gruesome sight.
"Good! That's it, the pleasure of revenge!"
"Hahaha!"
"This is the Uchiha Power! Tremble!"
"I will repay all the suffering of the Uchiha clan upon you!"
"No matter how many times, I will destroy you again and again!"
"Shimura Danzō!"
Sasuke laughed maniacally, extremely satisfied.
Crushing Danzō repeatedly felt incredibly satisfying! Until all his bones ached and went numb.
He even enjoyed the process of killing Danzō.
The reason was simple: because he was sure Danzō would definitely die today!
Keep in mind, this time it wasn't just Itachi supporting him, but also many other Akatsuki members.
Although he didn't know where the masked man who claimed to be Madara was, it didn't matter.
Now, Danzō could no longer escape!
This time, Sasuke felt the safest he had ever been in his life!
Instead of directly killing Danzō, he even began to enjoy the process of revenge, venting all his anger and disappointment!
And Danzō, who had been reduced to minced meat, immediately came back to life. But still unafraid, he attacked Sasuke again while using various Futon attacks.
Futon: Shinkūha, Shinkūgyoku, Shinkūgyokudan... etc.; unfortunately, they couldn't penetrate Susano'o's defense!
Even with the help of the summoning beast Baku, it could only damage Susano'o's skin, unable to injure Sasuke inside the bone protection.
Susano'o's defense was indeed extraordinary.
Finally, two minutes passed. After being killed for the seventh time, Danzō seemed to have lost his mind, directly took out a kunai, and desperately stabbed Sasuke's Susano'o!
Did he seem to want to damage Susano'o's defense with a small kunai?
