Chapter 242: A World Where Only Danzo Gets Injured
"Earth Style: Earth Pillar Wall!" Kurotsuchi, having suddenly flared up and attacked, felt a throbbing pain in her head. With no time to think carefully, she quickly formed hand seals. A massive semi-circular wall rose, blocking the wind blades and also supporting the tomb ceiling that was on the verge of collapsing. Her judgment was precise, and her jutsu execution was spot on.
Sai, that "abdominal-flaunting maniac," swiftly pulled out a scroll. Dipping his brush into specialized chakra ink, with a flourish, he painted a swarm of venomous snakes. Then, with a flick of his wrist—
"Ninja Art: Super Beast Imitation Drawing!"
Dozens of ink snakes slithered through the gaps between Kurotsuchi's earth wall and the tomb, surging towards the Iwagakure ninja.
"Leaf Village rats! Lava Style: Quicklime Congealing Technique!" Kurotsuchi performed another leg-split motion, then spat out a black, concrete-like liquid to the side. The concrete not only completely destroyed the ink snakes but also sealed the gaps in the side of the earth wall.
Just as Shisui Uchiha could force himself to use Fire Style to repel pursuers despite the pain of eye-gouging, Danzo's ability to endure pain was also considerable. He allowed his right eye, which was like a bloody hole, to profusely bleed as he inhaled sharply. Chakra gathered in his chest and abdomen, then he forcefully expelled it.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Great Sphere!" The high-pressure wind sphere instantly shattered the defense of the earth wall and minced the two Iwagakure ninja attempting to reinforce it behind the wall into pieces. Along with them, the female ninja from the Kamizuru clan had an arm torn off. Already heavily injured, she could no longer hold on and fell directly unconscious.
From a team of ten, three were gone in the space of two exchanges, and one was heavily injured. They were no match for the Root ninja, whether in numbers, ninjutsu, or experience.
With the earth wall breached, the Root ninja swarmed in like a hive of bees. Inside the tomb, the remaining ninja engaged in a desperate fight to the death, stabbing with kunai, punching with fists, and biting with teeth.
The Root ninja, utterly disregarding the lives of their comrades, relentlessly unleashed powerful Wind Style and Fire Style ninjutsu. The situation was disadvantageous, but Iwagakure was still one of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. The Will of Stone was deeply ingrained in their hearts. The six remaining ninja, including Kurotsuchi, showed not the slightest bit of fear. Like stones, they firmly guarded a side chamber adjacent to the main hall. The narrow entrance allowed only two ninja to enter at a time, and they were almost using their bodies to block the enemy's attack.
The disparity in enemy and allied numbers was vast. Soon, two more Iwagakure ninja fell. Kurotsuchi's arm and shoulder were cut open by Root ninja shuriken, blood profusely gushing outwards.
Seeing her comrades tragically die one by one, she roared in anger and fiercely punched a tall Root ninja. Halfway through extending her fist, she added the Earth Style: Rock Fist technique to her right hand. A slightly grim-looking stone fist smashed heavily into the tall Root ninja's face. His nasal bone, cheekbone, and eyeball were completely shattered, and his head exploded into a mist of blood in the second second.
Pressing her advantage, Kurotsuchi grabbed the tall Root ninja's corpse, swung it up, and smashed it horizontally into the shoulder of another Root ninja using a samurai sword. Then, she sent a kick flying into the samurai sword ninja's groin. The moment the sound of shattering was heard, this person was also kicked flying into the wall with immense force, shaking the sand and stones inside the tomb and causing the walls to tremble slightly.
Before Kurotsuchi could even catch her breath, her hair stood on end. The expressionless Sai drew a tiger, whose mouth bit her right hand. Sai drew a short sword and stabbed her in the right rib from the side.
Enduring immense pain, Kurotsuchi's right leg tensed like a drawn bow, her muscles bulging, and she kicked towards Sai's head. Sai reacted quickly, shifting his feet, pulling out his sword, and also pulling the Root ninja beside him. Kurotsuchi's kick directly created a large hole straight into the wall. Exposed, she took two more stabs.
"Leaf Village rats!" Covered in wounds, Kurotsuchi punched the ink tiger to pieces. Ignoring the wound on her wrist, she grabbed the head of a Root ninja and smashed it hard against the wall. Red blood and greyish-white brain matter smeared the wall.
Despite her exceptional bravery and might, she couldn't beat the Root ninja led by Danzo; the difference was vast. If only father were here, she thought in a daze, her mind drifting to her own father, Kitsuchi. No matter how strong Danzo was, he couldn't beat her dad – this was a daughter's simple thought. If her dad were here, and they cooperated to use that move, they could definitely defeat Danzo.
In her heart, Kurotsuchi went through her family's Earth Style secret technique in detail, and she quickly received a response.
"Don't be afraid, I'll help you."
She was completely unaware of how absurd this response was. The abnormal signals feeding back from her brain were ignored, leaving only a strong fighting spirit in her heart. Seeing her form hand seals, the last two Iwagakure ninja also didn't speak, silent like stones. They used their bodies to block the Root ninja's ninjutsu. Kurotsuchi rapidly formed hand seals, and the figure in her heart mirrored her actions. The two hand seal sequences were completely different, clearly indicating an extremely complex ninjutsu.
The last Iwagakure ninja let out a loud roar, charging up like a wild bull. His not particularly burly body was directly hit by a Fire Style ninjutsu, but he endured, allowing the flames to burn his body. Using his feet with force, he grabbed the waists of two Root ninja. The three of them rolled across the ground like gourds, blocking the path.
The next second, Kurotsuchi completed her hand seals. She let out a shout and slapped her hands on the ground. A phantom figure in the air made the same motion.
"Earth Style: Earth Rend!"
"Earth Style: Eruption!"
The two ninjutsu cleverly combined, and Kurotsuchi's voice, along with the other voice, resounded simultaneously.
"Earth Style: Earth Rend Eruption!"
Chakra flowed into the earth, triggering the earth veins. The vast energy from the underground lava, immensely rich, was guided by the earth nature chakra, surging upwards like a fountain. The earth crust beneath their feet cracked, and two plates squeezed together. Vast power accompanied the underground lava, forming a huge fountain of flame.
With a deafening roar, the entire tomb became a sea of fire, the temperature terrifyingly high, and more lava surged out from below.
Facing the scalding, serpent-like lava, Danzo, who was at the center of the ninjutsu, swiftly unfurled the seals on his arm. Then, he formed the Rabbit, Boar, and Ram seals. At the cost of one Sharingan on his arm being permanently blinded, he used the forbidden jutsu Izanagi. Immediately afterward, his body was swallowed by the scalding lava.
Sai used Super Beast Imitation Drawing to create an ink hawk, flying at its limit through the lava raining down from the sky, searching for gaps. He finally escaped the scene through a hollow on the side of the volcano. The remaining Root ninja could only save themselves, and the scene became a chaotic mess. Kurotsuchi, taking the heavily injured, unconscious Kamizuru clan female ninja, used Earth Style to clear a path and successfully escaped the volcano.
After getting away from the volcano, Danzo, who had returned to his original state using Izanagi, gritted his teeth in hatred. His efforts were all wasted, he got absolutely nothing, and he caused a whole lot of trouble for himself. One Sharingan on his arm was permanently blinded. Facing the Akatsuki's Immortal Duo had already caused him to have to use Izanagi once. Now, only eight eyes remained on his arm of ten eyes. The most detestable thing was that he lost the crucial Mangekyo Sharingan – that was the Mangekyo Sharingan that could use Kotoamatsukami!
