Chapter 87 - Chapter 85: Intense Battle

Sasuke sneered, "Are you afraid that some unspeakable things will surface?"

He no longer concealed his knowledge of Danzo's human experiments.

Since they were going to fight, he had to exert his full strength.

Combat wasn't just about Chakra and dazzling Ninja Arts; it also involved strategy and methods to disrupt the opponent's emotions.

"I've always said the Uchiha are beyond saving; there shouldn't have been any survivors!"

Hearing Sasuke's thinly veiled threat,

Danzo's face was filled with revulsion.

He stared at those crimson Sharingan, the slowly spinning tomoe, which seemed to possess some kind of mental interference magic.

Danzo frowned deeply and murmured, "Such an evil power, and it's already a Three-Tomoe Sharingan?"

An ordinary ninja wouldn't dare to meet a Sharingan's gaze,

but he was not afraid.

Because his right eye, hidden by bandages, was a Mangekyo Sharingan with absolute dominance, from Uchiha Shisui.

A continuous stream of spiritual energy converged on his optic nerve, allowing him to instantly see through any genjutsu.

He felt an inexplicable irritation,

especially since Sasuke knew about the human experiments, which meant he had to end the battle as quickly as possible.

"Considering Uchiha Itachi's obedience, I originally intended to spare your life and have you become a Root member to protect Konoha, but now it seems my expectations were too high."

As soon as he finished speaking,

Danzo had already made his move, quickly forming hand seals to release his Specialties of Wind Release Ninja Art.

Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!

Scythe-like wind waves spewed from his mouth, accompanied by sharp whistling sounds tearing through the air.

Trees in the way were cleanly cut through without obstruction.

"Come on, let's fight!"

Sasuke suppressed his surging emotions and charged towards the elevated position where Danzo stood.

Meeting the sweeping Vacuum Wave, he used the defensive power of his Black Flame armor, leaping along the edge of the wind blades. The shattered armor fragments transformed into wisps of Black Flame and dissipated.

While the Cursed Swordsman could release Black Flame from a distance, its strongest destructive power was in close combat.

The fusion of fire elements and swordsmanship could unleash immense power.

Danzo's expression was disdainful.

He had experienced countless battles and feared close-quarters combat the least. He would only be at a slight disadvantage when fighting freaks like Sarutobi Hiruzen, who possessed the monstrous summoning beast Enma as a weapon.

Shaking his head,

the Vacuum Wave suddenly changed direction, cutting through two thick tree trunks before charging towards Sasuke in mid-air with undiminished force.

Sasuke, having lost his Black Flame armor, was swept by the Vacuum Wave. The sleeve of his right arm burst open, and blood continuously flowed down his arm.

His bones weren't severed, only pain.

But it was by enduring the injury from the Vacuum Wave that he created an opportunity to get close, rushing to Danzo's face.

[Sword: Flame Dance (Purple) Lv.15]: Unleashes dazzling flame sword techniques. Flame explosions randomly occur during attacks, dealing 200 fire damage.

He wielded the long sword in his hand, slashing at Danzo, who had just finished his move. The blade surged with flames, as if to burn the entire forest to ashes.

"What an arrogant brat!"

Though he said that, upon seeing the blade radiating intense flame energy, Danzo quickly retreated.

A kunai was gripped in his hand, and Wind Release Chakra was infused into it, transforming it into a sharp sword.

Wind Release: Vacuum Blade.

With his mastery of Wind Release, even the hardest weapons would be cut by this kunai.

Clang.

Black Flame danced, enveloping the blade as it struck the kunai.

With the collision, black butterflies splattered, deftly flapping their wings and sticking to Danzo's body.

"This is bad!"

Danzo's eyes widened suddenly, and he quickly pulled back, but Sasuke clung to him, giving him no chance to breathe.

Those burning Black Flame butterflies gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

Relying on his taijutsu advantage,

Danzo endured the injury of his arm being pierced by the blade and kicked away Sasuke, who was stubbornly clinging to him.

One, two, three...

After the Black Flame butterflies landed on him, they transformed into strange black patterns.

A sense of danger continuously rose in his heart,

Danzo unhesitatingly swung his kunai, intending to cut off the tainted flesh, but it was too late. The black patterns suddenly glowed, followed by continuous explosions.

Boom!

Scorching black fire waves surged and swept through the nearby forest, shattering trees and rocks, all engulfed by the flames.

Even the Root members lying outside the laboratory door were affected.

This range and destructive power were comparable to an S-rank Fire Release forbidden Jutsu.

Even the Barrier Team was alarmed.

In the Hokage Building in the center of the village, Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly looked up, staring in the direction of the Forest of Death.

He quickly leaped to a high building where he could see afar.

In the northeast corner of the Forest of Death, a lush forest had been engulfed by a sea of Black Flames, and thick smoke rose into the sky.

"What's going on?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's first reaction was that enemy ninjas were causing trouble.

The Chunin Joint Exam was about to begin, and the inns were already full of foreign ninjas. If turmoil occurred at such a time, they would be the first to be blamed.

But then he thought,

if he were an enemy ninja wanting to cause trouble, he would surely prioritize the bustling main street. Why would he attack the Forest of Death?

Feeling that something was amiss, Sarutobi Hiruzen lowered his straw hat and quickly rushed towards the Black Flame inferno.

Figures appeared one after another; they were all Anbu members, responsible for protecting the Hokage's safety.

At this moment, they all quickly followed Sarutobi Hiruzen, heading towards the Forest of Death.

...

"Is he dead?"

Looking at Danzo engulfed by Black Flame, Sasuke took a deep breath.

He just felt that something wasn't quite right.

As a high-ranking advisor, Shimura Danzo shouldn't be so easily killed.

Suddenly,

Sasuke felt a gust of wind pressure from behind him and quickly rolled forward. The spot where he had been standing was ripped open by a narrow Vacuum Wave.

The ground exploded, and thick dust obscured his vision.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two shuriken infused with Wind Release Chakra flew over.

Sasuke dodged repeatedly, but his right leg was still cut by a shuriken, and blood immediately flowed out. He gripped his long sword and precisely deflected the continuously spinning shuriken, making them fly away.

"I've got you!"

Before he could react, Danzo's figure broke through the dust, and his arm slammed down hard. A heavy metal sealing tool was used like a heavy hammer, striking Sasuke's chest.

Pfft.

Sasuke spat out blood, trying to use the momentum of the blow to retreat, but Danzo's outstretched fingers locked onto his throat.

"I haven't fought in so long that you've wasted one of my Sharingan."

Danzo's face was ashen,

already having the absolute advantage and able to kill Sasuke at any moment, there was no concealment in his words.

His robe was tattered and burned by Black Flame, especially around his right arm.

The crimson Sharingan spun continuously.

Completely exposed within Sasuke's line of sight.
