The ground churned, and thick tree trunks burst through the earth, forming a dense forest.
The creaking sound of the twisting tree trunks made one's scalp tingle.
Danzo was horrified, his expression no longer calm.
He knew that the First Hokage and Uchiha Madara had an unusual relationship, but why would Uchiha Madara possess the First Hokage's Wood Release Bloodline Limit?
Tree trunks flew, one after another, crashing towards Danzo.
Danzo quickly swung his Vacuum Blade, cutting through the tree trunks in front of him.
Night Light had long since been avoiding Danzo, and at this moment, on the outskirts of the Deep Forest Emergence, he rolled and leaped backward, dodging the Deep Forest Emergence.
The tree trunks were dense, blocking the view, and neither Danzo nor Uchiha Madara paid attention to the cannon fodder on the edge.
The Yamanaka Root Ninja was too close to Danzo and, eager to protect his master, was crushed by the twisting tree trunks, his abdomen caved in.
He couldn't move, and before he died, he used the Mind Body Switch Technique on Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara didn't even look at the Yamanaka Ninja; this level of mental attack was like a gust of wind in his ear.
Another Root was also quite far from Danzo and, like Night Light, escaped the range of the Deep Forest Emergence.
The Root Ninja released a swarm of insects like a large tree canopy, devouring the Wood Release tree trunks.
This Root was an Aburame clan Ninja, attempting to alleviate the pressure on Danzo.
Uchiha Madara tilted his head slightly, glancing sideways at the Aburame clan Ninja, seemingly surprised by the strength of this Aburame Ninja.
A flower appeared within the Wood Release; the flower bloomed, spewing out poisonous pollen smoke.
The insects died on the Wood Release tree trunks, leaving behind piles of insect corpses.
The Aburame Ninja switched between three types of parasitic insects, but none could withstand the poisonous pollen smoke, and they died miserably.
As for Night Light, he strenuously attacked the Wood Release tree trunks in front of him with Earth Flow Spears, creating a grand display, moving further and further away as he fought.
Uchiha Madara, despite his appearance of being on his last legs, possessed an extraordinarily vast Chakra.
He stood on a rainbow bridge made of tree trunks, looking down at Danzo.
After forming hand seals, Danzo used a Ninjutsu: "Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere!"
A high-pressure wind sphere erupted from Danzo's mouth, shattering a large number of the Deep Forest Emergence's tree trunks.
Wood debris flew everywhere in the rainy night.
Uchiha Madara's eyes became a little more lively; he was becoming increasingly interested in Danzo.
"I didn't expect your Wind Release mastery to be passable," Uchiha Madara said, "Then, how will your Wind Release cope with this Ninjutsu?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant wood golem burst out of the ground.
The wood golem swung its fist, smashing towards Danzo.
Danzo once again used Wind Release: Great Vacuum Sphere; however, the wood golem's strength was much higher than imagined.
A thin layer of cracks appeared on the surface of the wood golem's fist, and then the fist broke through the Wind Release and smashed towards Danzo.
Danzo barely dodged the wood golem's fist at the last moment.
He immediately changed his approach, no longer resisting head-on, but instead rapidly leaped through the forest, heading straight for Uchiha Madara.
He believed that Uchiha Madara, being so old, might be holding on like Uzumaki Mito, at the end of his rope.
Now was not the time to dwell on why Uchiha Madara possessed Wood Release; he had to kill the aging Uchiha Madara first.
As long as Uchiha Madara died, everything would end.
Danzo had long wanted to master Wood Release, but unfortunately, he couldn't grasp the key; perhaps Uchiha Madara held the secret of Wood Release.
If Uchiha Madara could master Wood Release, why couldn't he?
Danzo's Sharingan spun wildly, and he dodged every tree trunk and vine along the way.
The tree trunks grew more and more numerous, continuously expanding, and Danzo also used his Mangekyo Sharingan Dojutsu.
"Susanoo!"
A verdant green Susanoo skeleton appeared on Danzo's body.
Seeing the verdant green Susanoo, Uchiha Madara's voice rang out again:
"That idiot Tobirama, he only taught you useless trash; you use Susanoo in front of me?
Those idiots from Uchiha were manipulated by Konoha, unable to even protect their Mangekyo."
Uchiha Madara snorted coldly and for the first time raised his hand.
Before, Uchiha Madara hadn't moved his hand for any Ninjutsu, at most just shouting.
This time, Uchiha Madara formed hand seals, indicating that he was slightly serious.
"Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
A wood dragon emerged from the Deep Forest Emergence, letting out a sharp cry in the air, heading straight for the Susanoo.
The Susanoo was entangled by the wood dragon, which devoured Chakra; the Susanoo's newly formed muscles receded and disappeared, leaving only the skeleton.
Under Danzo's right eye, blood instantly flowed out.
The Mangekyo Sharingan consumed a lot, and combined with the wood dragon's Chakra absorption, Danzo felt pain and soreness in his right eye.
His vision suddenly blurred, and Danzo thought, "Have I used Mangekyo only twice, and my body can't take it anymore?"
The Susanoo disappeared, and the wood dragon that had been wrapped around the Susanoo suddenly lost its grip; there was nothing left inside the wood dragon.
Wind Release lifted Danzo, allowing him to leap out of the wood dragon's entanglement.
He formed hand seals in the air and released a Ninjutsu towards Uchiha Madara: "Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
The accumulated Wind Release Chakra in his mouth was fired like bullets, continuously emitting short bursts of air, like a machine gun firing non-stop.
The wind blasts, with terrifying penetrative power, rushed towards Uchiha Madara.
Uchiha Madara raised his hand and also used a Ninjutsu.
"Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs Technique!"
From the rainbow bridge beneath his feet, dozens of wooden spears shot out.
Danzo's Vacuum Spheres were each canceled out by the wooden spears; not only that, several wooden spears rapidly pierced into Danzo's body.
The wooden spears exploded within Danzo's abdominal cavity, piercing out from his back.
Danzo turned into a porcupine. With such injuries, his internal organs must have been completely ruptured.
Night Light's eyes were fixed on Danzo.
His vision blurred!
Danzo's figure suddenly vanished, as if he had never appeared.
The spikes from the Cutting Sprigs Technique fell from the air.
Only the red blood and green bile on the spikes proved that Danzo had indeed been stabbed to death.
Below the hillside, Danzo emerged from behind a tree trunk and rapidly ran into the distance.
Night Light cursed, 'Damn it,' he didn't even say goodbye when escaping.
Night Light saw from the side that Danzo's right Mangekyo Sharingan looked like a white, dead fish eye.
Uchiha Kagami's precious Mangekyo Sharingan had become a disposable Izanagi tool for Danzo.
Night Light and the Aburame Ninja quickly followed.
Uchiha Madara stood on the hillside, showing no intention of pursuing them; he looked contemptuously at the fleeing individuals and turned to walk back into the cave.
Night Light guessed that there were still some finishing touches to Nagato's Rinnegan transplant.
Nagato was much more important than a few Konoha cannon fodder.
After escaping far away, Night Light not only didn't feel relieved but became even more nervous.
Something big had happened!
Night Light followed behind the Aburame clan Ninja, who in turn followed behind Danzo.
Night Light dared not make a sound; he dared not step into any puddle, dared not step on any leaf, deeply fearing that if he made any noise, Danzo would turn around and kill him in a fit of rage.
Night Light's current mood was three parts joy, seven parts regret.
The joy was that old thief Danzo had been humiliated, made a huge fool of himself in front of Uchiha Madara, and lost a Mangekyo Sharingan.
Danzo, you finally got what was coming to you; the fresh Mangekyo Sharingan hadn't even warmed up in your eye socket before Uchiha Madara ruined it.
The regret was that Uchiha Madara was too disappointing.
Uchiha Madara started off acting like the biggest boss, full of taunts, but couldn't even kill a single Danzo.
Why didn't you transplant the Rinnegan later? With only a normal three-tomoe Sharingan, what could you possibly do?
You can't even kill a Danzo; you're a loser, a big loser, and you deserve to never accomplish anything in your life.
Not just Night Light, even the Aburame Ninja in front was trembling, not much better than Night Light.
