Chapter 128: How Terrifying is His Spiritual Power, How Did He Cultivate It? (Please subscribe!) Boom!!! A massive sword energy swept across. Danzo, Aburame Shikao, and Yamanaka Kaze panicked and tried to escape, but they were still left with dirt on their faces by the ensuing hurricane. "What's going on?! What is that?" Aburame Shikao and Yamanaka Kaze's faces changed drastically. Especially Yamanaka Kaze, he felt an unparalleled amount of chakra from the other side! Danzo, on the other hand, exclaimed directly, "That is... Susanoo?" "How is that possible! How can the Mangekyō Sharingan appear here?!" Danzo couldn't possibly not recognize the giant in front of him. As a man who deeply hated the Uchiha, he was too familiar with this powerful giant! Or perhaps, this was also the power he had longed for!
Danzo widened his eyes, hastily dodging, and his old face was covered in dust. But he didn't care, his mouth agape, his face filled with disbelief. Wasn't this the place where he used others to kill? Using the Kotoamatsukami, one of the Seven Ninja Swords, to kill Madara. But why would Susanoo appear? Could it be... The next second! The giant took a big step forward. The hundreds of meters tall giant, step by step, caused the earth to tremble slightly, as if it couldn't bear his weight. In just a few steps. A fully armed giant samurai appeared in front of Danzo and the others. He was a hundred meters tall, his whole body presenting a deep purple color close to black, like a black demon god. And Danzo immediately saw that familiar figure within the body of the Susanoo giant. "Yanagi!!! You actually awakened the Mangekyō?!" Danzo's expression changed drastically, even with a hint of distortion. "Well, long time no see, Elder Danzo." Yanagi's mouth curled up, his voice carrying a hint of coldness. "I originally wanted to greet you in a different way, but after hearing your words from afar, I thought this way of chatting with you would be more appropriate." "By the way, Elder Danzo. As Xia Yan spoke, the body of the Susanoo giant slightly bent, instantly blocking the sunlight. "What did you say you wanted to do with my children?" Danzo and the other two were shocked, their faces filled with disbelief. The enormous figure and the fresh sword mark left by the slash put immense pressure on them.
But as Kage-level experts, Danzo was the first to react. He opened his seemingly perpetually squinted eyes and stared intently at Xia Yan. "Susanoo.... Mangekyō.... Uchiha Xia Yan, you've hidden it well!" "You're the one who destroyed my laboratory, right?" The attack on the Root laboratory had caused an excessive reaction from Konoha, ultimately leading to the Fourth Great Ninja War... And the mastermind behind all of this, despite the investigations by the Anbu and Root, remained elusive. Danzo had also suspected the shinobi within the village, but whoever it was seemed to lack the ability to attack the Root laboratory, take away a large amount of scientific equipment and research materials, and leave without a trace... The Uchiha had always been the least suspected, as at that time, Uchiha Xia Yan was known as the shame of the Jōnin, with his strength considered to be at the level of an elite Chunin, making him the weakest Jōnin. But now... "It's you, Xia Yan!" Danzo angrily exclaimed. "Not just this one attack on the Root Laboratory," Xia Yan said calmly, with a hint of mockery in his eyes. "Do you remember when you were bombed by someone in the Shimura clan?" "Was that also you?" Danzo widened his eyes—it was still an unsolved mystery! It's just that the scope of the impact was smaller. And upon closer inspection... It seems that right before I was attacked, there was an assassination attempt against Xia Yan! "Well, I didn't expect you to have already made a move against me... You truly are a dirty Uchiha!" Danzo narrowed his eyes, a hint of killing intent flashing. "I should have strangled you long ago!" "Like how you incited Uchiha Itachi to annihilate my Uchiha clan?" Xia Yan retorted. Danzo remained calm. "So you know about that too... Well, with your abilities, it's normal to discover some things." The reason why the Third Hokage immediately dismissed Danzo after the Uchiha clan massacre was mainly because, although the Root and Uchiha Itachi had both worked to eliminate any traces, time was so tight that any action they took would be noticed by the shinobi. Ninjas are not judges; having suspicion, motive, and reason... is already enough! As for evidence, it's actually not needed much. "Unfortunately, Hiruzen never wanted to listen to my advice and acted against you early on," Danzo said, with a face full of regret. If it weren't for the Third Hokage's words, "Danzo, I am the Hokage," rejecting his suggestion to directly send ninja to kill Xia Yan... How could he let the Root suffer such a great loss? Xia Yan just smiled. In the beginning, he wasn't as powerful as Danzo had imagined. Returning to Konoha was actually a gamble, betting that the Third Hokage wouldn't dare to lay a hand on him in front of Danzo. But he won the bet and even won the entire Uchiha clan's inheritance, which allowed him to gain such power in just a few years... So he won the bet, and Danzo and the others would lose!
"Elder Danzo, rest assured," Xia Yan's voice turned cold. "I will send you to accompany the Third Hokage... just like how I sent him down back then." "It was you who killed the Third Hokage?!" Danzo's expression drastically changed. Yamanaka Inoichi and Aburame Shino's expressions also changed greatly. "No wonder, no wonder I felt that Gaara shouldn't be able to achieve this level... Even if Hiruzen is weak and old, he wouldn't be unable to inflict any injuries on Gaara," Danzo muttered slightly, his eyes filled with complexity. "So, it was you who did it..." Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen had a strange bond with Danzo, almost like Sasuke and Naruto. Although Danzo would always complain about how weak Hiruzen was, upon hearing the news of Hiruzen's death, he trembled and had a complicated expression on his face. Hiruzen was also quite mysterious. Despite often being at odds with Danzo, whenever others wanted to propose removing Danzo from his position, Hiruzen would always be the first to stand up and oppose it! This was probably the unique relationship between the two of them! "Then, let me avenge Hiruzen!" Danzo took a deep breath and opened his clothes, revealing an arm firmly trapped by metal. "The wind, take root, protect me." His right arm has been transplanted with a large number of Sharingan and Senju Hashirama's cells. Whether it is the Yin Release Sharingan or Hashirama's cells, they are both highly unstable and consume a great amount of energy. If they were constantly activated, Danzo would have been exhausted to death long ago, so they were sealed away. In a real battle, he needs his subordinates to open the seal for him to unleash his full power! Yamanaka Fuu and Aburame Shuugen also understand this, so they didn't hesitate to say, "Yes! Lord Danzo!" The next second! Both of them attacked together. Aburame Shuugen took off his gloves, revealing his purple-black palm - the color of nano poison insects! It is a secret technique of the Aburame clan, an ability that only Aburame Shuugen can master! Once it touches you, even if you are at Kage-level, death is inevitable! Boom! He fiercely punched towards Natsuhiko. But Natsuhiko just glanced at him indifferently, and the next second, Susanoo kicked him. Aburame was directly kicked in the root! However, he is an Elite Jōnin-level expert after all, and his physical fitness is not bad. Aburame spat out blood from his mouth and desperately grabbed onto Susanoo's foot.
The part of his palm that made contact with Susanoo suddenly started to change color! The originally deep purple Susanoo Chakra slowly turned black and gradually crumbled away! The insects of the Aburame clan have the ability to devour Chakra, so even a Susanoo constructed purely with Chakra can be eaten away by their venomous bites! However, Xia Yan just glanced at it and didn't pay any more attention to this matter. After all... "Wind, it's difficult for my venomous insects to devour a Chakra mass of this size... " Aburame's mouth twitched and he said, "I'm really not suited for fighting against enemies like this." It takes a certain amount of time for the small nano-sized venomous insects to erode an arm. Even though the insects of the Aburame clan have the ability to devour Chakra, it's really too difficult for them to devour a Susanoo giant that is over a hundred meters tall! It's not too difficult for the giant insects like the Parasitic Giant Insects, but it's really too much to ask for the nano-sized venomous insects to devour such a large giant! "I know, so I'll be the main attacker, and you cover me." Yamanaka Wind took a deep breath. He leaped up and threw several shurikens with explosive tags attached to them. Susanoo threw a punch, directly hitting the exploding tag along with Yamanaka Kazekaze behind it! Bang! Smoke suddenly appeared, revealing a Shadow Clone. Meanwhile, the real Yamanaka Kazekaze took the opportunity to quickly move behind Susano'o. "Ninjutsu: Shin Ten Shin Technique!" Did it hit? Yamanaka Kazekaze was somewhat surprised. Although he used the Shadow Clone to conceal himself, he didn't expect to successfully land a surprise attack on Yahiko with just one move. After all, they had been following Danzo for so long, and their family, the Yamanaka clan, had a long history as shinobi. How could they not know what it meant when Susano'o was activated? But since it hit, naturally! Without hesitation, Yamanaka Kazekaze poured his spirit into it. The next second, he saw two deep red eyes. Pfft! Yamanaka Kazekaze spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed weakly. "What's wrong, Kazekaze?" Aburame Torune, who was about to assist, had a slight change in his expression. He used his protective suit to support Yamanaka Kazekaze and asked, "This guy..." Yamanaka Kazekaze, while spitting blood, looked at Yahiko with a terrified expression and said, "As soon as my spirit entered, it was directly suppressed by his formidable spiritual power... How did he cultivate such terrifying spiritual power?!"
