Chapter 62: Volcanic Bombs Dancing in Konoha
The giant summoning beast, Baku, upon its sudden appearance, stirred up howling gales that swept outwards in all directions.
During the swirling sand and flying dust, even the six Root ninja in front of Danzō struggled to keep their footing.
Baku raised its head, observing the clashing magma dragon head and Water Release ninjutsu in the air.
It opened its mouth upwards, and a even fiercer hurricane rapidly brewed within it, forming a massive, translucent wind orb, visible to the naked eye, about twenty meters in diameter.
The wind orb blasted out from its mouth, instantly scattering the magma dragon head and destroying the six Water Dragon Bullet techniques! The swirling wind raged like a typhoon, bending trees hundreds of meters away and even causing leaves to fall from trees a thousand meters distant.
Danzō had leaped onto Baku's head, his robes constantly flapping in the furious wind currents, yet he stood steadily on top.
His face was expressionless, his hands formed a seal, and he took a deep breath.
"Wind Style…"
Baku opened its mouth again, inhaling large amounts of air.
"Wind Blade Technique!!!"
Danzō and Baku simultaneously exhaled Wind Release ninjutsu forward. Two translucent wind blades, one large and one small, instantly tore through the air and rapidly assailed Uchiha Ikeizumi!
The ground beneath their feet, grazed by the edge of the wind blades, was immediately carved with two deep furrows!
"If I can't seal parts of your body, then I'll shatter your entire being and seal you whole. This old man refuses to believe that in such a situation, you can still remain perfectly intact!"
Killing intent filled Danzō's eyes.
He believed Uchiha Ikeizumi's Lava Release had its limits.
After all, how could a person become an immortal monster simply due to a so-called Lava Release kekkei genkai?
The six Root ninja also decisively attacked.
Wind Release, Water Release, Earth Release… various ninjutsu that the Root ninja believed could suppress Lava Release, at this moment, surged towards Uchiha Ikeizumi all at once.
....
"Baku… Danzō…" Hiruzen Sarutobi, rushing at full speed towards the source of the commotion, his expression had turned extremely grim.
Summoning such a dangerous summoning beast inside the village.
Did that man Danzō even respect him as the Hokage? Did he even care about innocent lives?
"Inoichi, what exactly is happening?"
As Hiruzen Sarutobi rushed forward, he asked Inoichi Yamanaka, who was running alongside him.
Inoichi Yamanaka replied bitterly, "Hokage-sama, I don't know what kind of conflict Lord Danzō and Ikeizumi have. They just happened to meet outside our Yamanaka clan compound. Before I could even react, they had already clashed."
Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a headache coming on.
...
Within the Uchiha clan compound, Fugaku gazed at the distant scene.
"Baku…"
"Magma…"
He realized that Ikeizumi and Danzō had probably clashed again.
Last time, Ikeizumi had killed two Root ninja and exposed Shimura Danzō's secrets regarding the Sharingan, making Fugaku extremely repulsed and wary of Danzō, a high-ranking official.
After all, he was a Konoha elder who coveted the Sharingan immensely.
He had even transplanted Sharingan, obtained from unknown sources, onto himself without the Uchiha clan's permission.
When he heard footsteps beside him, Fugaku didn't need to turn to know it was his wife approaching.
He asked, "Is Sasuke still not awake?"
Uchiha Mikoto shook her head: "The child is still unconscious."
Fugaku took a deep breath and made a decision: "You stay here and take care of him. I'll go over there and see what's happening."
.....
In Uchiha Ikeizumi's Three-Tomoe Sharingan vision, the trajectories of the two "Wind Blade Techniques," one large and one small, simultaneously attacking him, were all captured in his sight.
He deftly dodged the "Wind Blade Technique" with an extremely tricky angle, the translucent wind blade passing less than ten centimeters from his body.
Under the incredibly powerful Wind Release ninjutsu, ripples formed on the surface of his magma-flowing skin.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!
And the Yamanaka clan compound behind Uchiha Ikeizumi was literally split into three sections by the two wind blades!
Numerous buildings were affected and destroyed.
"Lava Release…"
"Great Eruption."
Facing the ninjutsu of the six Root ninja, Uchiha Ikeizumi's right arm furiously surged and expanded with magma. When he punched forward, his right arm had transformed into an exaggerated, terrifying magma giant fist!
All ninjutsu seemed like flimsy targets before this magma giant fist.
The powerful impact, like a volcanic eruption, completely shattered the ninjutsu!
Splattering magma turned into incredibly powerful volcanic bombs!
They seemed to fall haphazardly, yet subtly targeted the six Root ninja, Danzō and Baku, and the two giant turtle summoning beasts!
One giant turtle summoning beast couldn't dodge in time.
It was struck on its shell by a volcanic bomb with a diameter of over a meter.
It initially wasn't particularly concerned, thinking its shell, which could defend against many ordinary ninjutsu, could withstand the volcanic bomb. But the next second, the giant turtle's eyes suddenly widened.
Boom!!!
The volcanic bomb instantly pierced through its thick shell. The scorching magma melted the shell and violently drilled into its flesh and blood. Most of its internal organs were cooked by the magma in an instant.
Intense pain assaulted the giant turtle's consciousness, leaving it no time to react even if it finally thought to dodge the volcanic bombs.
Boom!!!
A volcanic bomb precisely struck its head.
The giant turtle summoning beast didn't even have time to whimper before a huge hole appeared in its head!
Its thick limbs were immediately drained of strength.
It collapsed weakly to the ground.
Seeing this, the second giant turtle summoning beast hastily spewed a large column of water from its mouth, attempting to block the volcanic bombs falling towards it from above.
However, it was still hit in the tail by a volcanic bomb, and its entire tail was "erased" and vaporized by the extreme heat, leaving no bones behind.
The intense pain made it scream incessantly. A puff of white smoke rose, and the last giant turtle summoning beast unilaterally dispelled its summoning jutsu, choosing to flee!
Uchiha Ikeizumi's crimson gaze briefly swept over, meeting the shocked eyes of a Root ninja beneath his mask.
"…Damn it!"
The Root ninja's heart clenched, his pupils contracting sharply. He hastily formed hand signs, trying to dispel a Sharingan genjutsu that he wasn't even sure existed.
But then he looked up to see volcanic bombs raining down from the sky. He couldn't distinguish which were real and which were fake.
He didn't even know which direction to dodge.
Boom!!!
A volcanic bomb landed about three meters behind him.
The ground was shattered, sending a large rock flying, which heavily struck the back of his head. Splashes of scorching magma liquid from behind him, like pellets, easily drilled into his body.
The Root ninja's body trembled continuously, finally collapsing face-first onto the ground.
His body had over a dozen visible charred holes.
Faint flames were still emanating from the edges of the holes.
The remaining Root ninja could only resort to various means, either using their signature ninjutsu to collide with the terrifying volcanic bombs descending from the sky, or hastily leaping onto nearby civilian houses.
—Because they noticed that while these volcanic bombs did not deliberately avoid civilian houses, most of them concentrated on falling into more open, empty areas.
Even so.
One Root ninja still couldn't dodge in time and was directly engulfed by a volcanic bomb.
There was nothing left of his body!
