Chapter 32: The Flame That Destroys Everything
"He shouldn't be able to get out!"
Danzo, who had run out of the base, was standing on the edge, looking at the large crater blasted in front of him with a calm face, feeling a little pained.
But this wasn't 'Root's' main base after all, and nothing important was stored inside. For Danzo, this was a blessing in disguise.
Also, most of the 'Root' ninjas had also run out.
"Humph! That guy really dug his own grave!"
In Danzo's view, with no movement now, that Aoyama Ruyun must have been buried by the collapsed underground base.
Rescue? That's too much. Danzo didn't have the slightest intention of doing so.
If he can't be used by me, then just destroy him. As for whether it would lead to bad consequences, Danzo didn't care at all.
Being hard-headed was one of Danzo's characteristics.
"Let's go!"
After sizing up the situation for a while, Danzo was about to turn and leave. At this moment, a 'Root' ninja, as if discovering something, pointed at the crater in horror.
"Lord Danzo! Look!"
"Hmm?"
Stopping, Danzo looked over.
He saw that inside the originally collapsed crater, a red light suddenly reflected, as if something was burning inside.
"?"
Danzo was puzzled. Just as he was about to observe more closely,
From within the ruins, Aoyama Ruyun's resonant voice roared out,
"Dragon Breath!"
"Boom!"
A Dragon Breath flame, carrying an aura of destruction, burst out.
The rubble above the ruins instantly disintegrated. The Dragon Breath flame shot straight into the sky.
The barrier Danzo had set up in the surroundings didn't even last a second; it was directly shattered.
The pillar of fire rising to the sky attracted everyone's attention.
"What's that?"
"So terrifying... is that flame?"
Tsunade, who was waiting at home, smiled slightly after seeing this scene.
*They're fighting.* Tsunade actually felt relieved.
In Tsunade's view, let alone one Danzo, even if you added Sarutobi Hiruzen, if Aoyama Ruyun was determined to leave, they couldn't stop him.
"He's truly the man I, your lady, have chosen!"
...
"Ruyun..."
At this time, in the Hatake clan grounds, Hatake Sakumo, as the clan head, was accompanying his newborn son. Seeing the pillar of fire, he gave a helpless smile.
"That Elder Danzo... is really hard-headed!"
Seeing the location of the pillar of fire, Hatake Sakumo had a good idea of what was happening.
As for going to help, Hatake Sakumo had no such thought.
After all, if he went, given his status as a Konoha ninja, Hatake Sakumo could only help Shimura Danzo.
*It would be a real miracle if Aoyama Ruyun couldn't beat Danzo.*
So Hatake Sakumo decisively pretended not to see. *Just take your beating, Elder Danzo.*
One had to say, after hanging out with Aoyama Ruyun for so long, even Hatake Sakumo had become a bit bad.
...
"Danzo!"
At the same time, Sarutobi Hiruzen, sitting in the Hokage's office, slammed his desk immediately after seeing the scene.
Without hesitation, he used a Body Flicker and disappeared from the office.
In all of Konoha, of all the people who saw this scene, besides Sarutobi Hiruzen, anyone who knew even a little about the situation chose not to help.
Danzo was truly unpopular among the major clans of Konoha!
...
"Hahahaha!"
The Dragon Breath flame dissipated. The originally piled-up rubble had all been blasted to ash.
Standing on the ruins, Aoyama Ruyun laughed loudly.
"If you want to defeat me, then show your strength! I'll let you know that all schemes are meaningless in the face of absolute power!"
Aoyama Ruyun never felt he was invincible. He could be defeated, but he would never be defeated by plots and schemes.
"You bastard!"
Noticing Aoyama Ruyun staring at him with a pair of vertical dragon pupils, Danzo was furious.
*Damn it! To think that I, Shimura Danzo, would one day be looked down upon and belittled by others!*
"All of you, attack!"
Danzo couldn't care less anymore. The barrier was broken. Someone would come sooner or later.
Since he would be held accountable anyway, it was better to get rid of Aoyama Ruyun before others arrived.
That was Danzo's current thought.
"Yes!"
The 'Root' ninjas responded one after another.
Trained by Danzo to be emotionless weapons, they wouldn't feel the slightest fear even when facing a powerful opponent.
"Ants! In the end, just ants!"
Stomping one foot, the ground instantly cracked. Aoyama Ruyun's figure also vanished from the spot.
"Die!"
Aoyama Ruyun, exuding a dominant aura, instantly appeared beside a 'Root' ninja.
He threw a punch. The ninja didn't even have a chance to react before being sent flying.
"Fire Style—"
Seeing Aoyama Ruyun's unparalleled monstrous strength taijutsu, some 'Root' ninjas immediately began to use ninjutsu for long-range attacks.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Aoyama Ruyun didn't dodge, letting the ninjutsu hit his body.
Not even a spark was created.
The dragon scale tattoo on Aoyama Ruyun's body began to materialize, as if it were alive.
"Impossible!"
Seeing Aoyama Ruyun completely unharmed after facing so many ninjutsu attacks, some began to feel stunned.
"What do you think I rely on to be called the Strongest Creature of the Sea, Land, and Air!"
*To break my defense, this isn't enough!*
"Dragon Breath!"
"Boom!"
Crimson red patterns flashed on the dragon scale tattoo on his body.
The Dragon Breath flame roared out.
"Boom!"
The scorching flame annihilated everything around.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Sounds of explosions came from within the flames from time to time.
After the flames dissipated, the smell of gunpowder permeated the surroundings.
The entire Konoha border area had been leveled.
Only Danzo was left, standing blankly on the spot.
"Thud!"
Aoyama Ruyun's figure leaped, and when he reappeared, he was in front of Shimura Danzo.
"Heh!"
He grinned, his gaze somewhat mocking.
Facing Aoyama Ruyun's gaze, cold sweat suddenly appeared on Danzo's forehead.
He was scared!
