Naruto: Boruto Returns to Shippuden

Chapter 210 The Death of Danzo

After his resurrection, Danzo used the properties of Izanagi to successfully leave the center of the White Rage Technique, at least physically removing him from the area most directly affected by the Sage Art, thus reducing some of the White Rage Technique's continued influence on him.

However, Danzo's current condition was obviously no better than before, with both his body and mind suffering certain injuries. So Sasuke walked towards Danzo, who was kneeling on the ground in a disheveled state.

Danzo struggled to concentrate his chakra and use Wood Release ninjutsu to create a large tree to block the intense light and provide him with some breathing space. However, his efforts were in vain, and he was unable to gather enough power to complete the ninjutsu.

The White Rage Technique not only interfered with Danzo's senses, but also caused his chakra to become disordered due to the resonance with his body, making it impossible for him to freely mobilize his chakra.

Under the intense light, Danzo struggled to shield his eyes from the blinding glare, and in the hazy light, he caught a glimpse of Sasuke's blurry figure, who was walking towards him step by step.

As Sasuke approached Danzo, he raised his head and coldly questioned him with a contemptuous air: "After the night of the massacre, you took the eyes of my clansmen, didn't you? How many Uchiha clansmen did you kill to get your arm?!"

Upon hearing Sasuke's question, Danzo began to laugh loudly: "Hahaha... Hahaha... Hehe... Cough..." However, his laughter quickly became intermittent due to aggravating his injuries, eventually turning into coughing, with the coughing blood staining the corners of his mouth.

After his cough subsided slightly, Danzo gave a sarcastic smile and said to Sasuke, "You know perfectly well who killed your clansmen. Do I need to repeat myself?"

Unable to control his anger, Sasuke swung his elbow at Danzo, knocking him to the ground.

Sasuke angrily retorted, "If it weren't for the orders from you bastards, how could Itachi have single-handedly slaughtered the Uchiha clan?!"

Danzo struggled to his feet, a cold smile playing on his lips, and said, "I see... It seems you didn't know..."

Sasuke stared intently at Danzo and demanded, "Don't know what? Speak up!"

Danzo coughed and uttered a message with difficulty: "Cough... The second person who acted with Uchiha Itachi on the night of the massacre, Uchiha... Madara."

Sasuke was taken aback when he heard the name "Uchiha Madara": "Uchiha Madara? Wasn't he dead decades ago? Are you kidding me?"

Danzo: "Madara Uchiha is still alive, believe it or not."

Sasuke harbored deep doubts about the annihilation of the Uchiha clan. He knew that even his older brother Itachi, who possessed considerable strength at that age, could not have single-handedly wiped out the entire Konoha police force.

Sasuke was surprised that Danzo would mention Madara Uchiha as an accomplice in the massacre of his clan. Madara Uchiha was not only the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, but also one of the founders of Konoha Village, a village that was on par with Hashirama Senju in the history of the ninja world.

During his conversation with Sasuke, Danzo's eyes began to dart around unconsciously, as he could feel his chakra gradually recovering.

This means that Sasuke Uchiha's technique is about to disappear, and if he wants to survive, he must seize this opportunity and use the recovery of his chakra to fight back or escape.

Just as Danzo had predicted, Sasuke's Sage Mode was weakening and gradually ending. The originally bright light began to dim, and the piercing sound gradually subsided.

The moment Danzo's chaotic chakra finally returned to normal, he immediately grabbed something and threw it to the ground. With a slight explosion, a cloud of smoke billowed out, obscuring the view.

Danzo used the smoke as cover and dashed toward the exit.

Just as Danzo was about to rush towards the exit, a sharp piercing sound suddenly rang out. Danzo's figure stopped abruptly, and he looked down in disbelief, only to see a sharp sword tip piercing through his body.

Sasuke's voice was laced with cold sarcasm as he said, "Trying to pull such a trick on me is truly laughable."

With the aid of Sage Mode, Sasuke was able to sense the heat emanating from Danzo's body and pinpoint his location. Although the smoke could obscure his vision, it was useless to Sasuke.

Just as Danzo was about to use Izanagi to turn the tide, he suddenly felt a sharp pain, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and stared wide-eyed.

What's going on? Why didn't Izanagi activate?

When Danzo glanced at his arm again, he noticed that his Sharingan, which had been open, had closed at some point, a sight that made his heart sink.

He immediately realized he had fallen under Sasuke's Sharingan genjutsu. No wonder he couldn't use Izanagi anymore. A surge of resentment and anger welled up inside him, and he gritted his teeth, muttering, "You bastard..."

Boruto witnessed Danzo's predicament and couldn't help but sigh, "As a ninja, you don't even understand the flow of your own chakra, and you didn't even notice how many times you used your Sharingan because of your own death. Or has such frequent death numbed your brain?"

Boruto continued, "They clearly knew that the Uchiha clan was known for their powerful genjutsu, yet they didn't take any precautions against it."

Danzo's body lost its support and leaned forward, eventually collapsing helplessly to the ground.

With a dull thud as his body struck the ground, Danzo felt an unprecedented weakness and powerlessness, followed by the suffocating feeling of true death that filled his mind.

Sasuke said coldly, "This is a battle where you communicate with your eyes, and this is the consequence of underestimating the Uchiha clan."

At this moment, Boruto noticed that Danzo was covering his right arm. Upon further observation, he discovered that the flow of chakra within Danzo's body was abnormal.

Immediately afterwards, Danzo lost control of the chakra within his body. The Hashirama cells that had been implanted in him began to go berserk, as if they had their own will, separating from him and gradually growing until they grew into a large tree.

The roots and branches of the great tree emerged from his skin, twisting and entwining. Danzo had no choice but to sacrifice his right arm to prevent himself from being devoured by the power of the Hashirama cells.

Danzo gritted his teeth, his heart filled with resentment. He couldn't accept that his carefully planned scheme had been defeated by these two brats.

Danzo cried out in his heart, "No! I can't die in a place like this! I haven't become Hokage yet..."

Under Boruto's astonished gaze, Danzo, who was already on the verge of death after Sasuke pierced his vital point, suddenly unleashed an astonishing power from somewhere, forcing himself to stand up straight and stride away into the distance.

"I am the only reformer capable of changing this ninja world..."

Sasuke's gaze swept over Danzo, the mastermind who had once brought his clan to ruin, now fleeing in the manner of a loser, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction welled up in his heart.

Sasuke wore a satisfied smile. He didn't rush to give chase, but instead slowly moved his feet, following behind Danzo.

Danzo, from the moment you used Itachi Uchiha, did you ever foresee that you would suffer such a tragic end?

Danzo closed his eyes tightly, his breathing heavy and rapid. He ran forward desperately, each step seemingly incredibly difficult.

Even though his body had reached its limit, his inner determination and will to survive drove him to continue.

The wound on his chest was aggravated by his movements, and blood continued to flow out, staining his clothes red. The loss of blood made Danzo feel increasingly weak.

And with each step he took, a trail of bloody footprints was left behind him, a bloodstained trail that seemed to symbolize his despair after his defeat.

After running for several dozen meters, Danzo finally felt the end of his life force, and his body began to sway. Behind him, Sasuke's footsteps grew closer and closer.

Sasuke followed closely behind, finally catching up with Danzo. He stared at Danzo's back, which had stopped, a cold, mocking smile playing on his lips, and said contemptuously, "What's wrong? Can't run anymore?"

Danzo realized he had nowhere to escape. He took a deep breath, then turned around abruptly and ripped his clothes open. With the sound of tearing, the "Inner Four Symbols" seal on his body was immediately revealed to Sasuke.

This sealing technique was prepared in advance by Danzo. He engraved the "Inner Four Symbols" seal into his body as a last resort.

At the final moment of his life, he could activate this sealing technique on his own, and the activation of this technique was closely linked to the passing of his life, ensuring that he would not be disturbed by external factors at the critical moment.

Danzo's face twisted with despair and rage as he roared ferociously, "Evil Uchiha, come with me to the Pure Land!"

In his final moments, Danzo still wanted to take Sasuke Uchiha with him to the other side of death.

Amidst Danzo's roar, his body reached its limit, and driven by the sealing technique, all the blood in his body began to gush out from his chest.

The blood fell to the ground like a fountain, then spread rapidly and gradually converged according to the patterns of the Four Symbols and the Eight Trigrams.

Sasuke frowned as he watched Danzo's final struggle. He quickly flashed in front of Danzo and reached out to plunge his hand into Danzo's right eye socket.

Danzo's screams and the splattering blood echoed in the empty space. Sasuke's fingers gripped Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan tightly, and with a forceful pull, he pried it out of Danzo's eye socket.

Immediately afterward, Sasuke said coldly, "You are not worthy to use the eyes of the Uchiha clan!"

After successfully retrieving Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, Sasuke did not hesitate for a moment. He leaped away and quickly left the range of Danzo's technique, putting distance between them.

As Danzo's blood continued to expand, it eventually formed a huge sphere, dragging everything contained within the sphere into its own body and sealing it away completely.
