BXBX NOVEL Chapter 706
Chapter 706: Eye of the Same Level!
She never expected that even with the rumored problem in his soul, Shimura Danzo would still have such frightening strength.
Danzo can freely use the five Kekkei Genkai that he seemed to have absorbed from five shinobi via the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual, and as if this wasn’t enough, not only can he use the Mangekyou Sharingan along with Susano’o, but he is also capable of using Wood Release to an unnatural degree.
The strength he has displayed against the Six Paths of Pain and her makes him an outright monster.
In the battle, Danzo was even capable of breaking free of ‘Planetary Devastation’ by using his Susano’o along with Wood Release, this is beyond normal.
Konan agrees that the ‘Planetary Devastation’ used by Deva Path is far weaker compared to the one used by Nagato, but it is still not weak enough that anyone can break free of it with ease, Hiruko––who has also undergone the same ritual and absorbed multiple Kekkei Genkai just like him––would have never been able to do it, yet Shimura Danzo did it, and from the looks of it, he was able to break free of it with very little effort.
The powerful beasts summoned by Animal Path were rendered useless by the Wooden vines that bound them, and the Asura Path’s weapons also didn’t do any damage to him because of the extremely hard crystal coating he is using to protect himself.
His strength and means have far exceeded what the rumors stated and what she imagined, and she fully understands that can’t possibly defeat a monster like him.
Konan gritted her teeth and looked at Deva Path floating beside her.
Unlike Konan, Deva Path still had the same indifferent expression on his face.
Indeed, the strength Shimura Danzo displayed is far beyond what he expected, but it’s nothing that would shock him or bring out any expression on his face, there exists only one person in the entire Shinobi World who can affect him, and that person is none other than Yama.
True, Shimura Danzo is strong, probably the second strongest shinobi he has faced in all his life, however, compared to Yama, Danzo’s strength is nothing!
After a while of silence, Deva Path looked at Danzo’s eyes, and noting a slightly different pattern compared to Uchiha Shinichi and ‘Madara’, he said lightly, “Your eyes, it seems that they aren’t ordinary pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.”
Although Deva Path doesn’t have much knowledge when it comes to Sharingan and its successive evolutions, however, being a Dojutsu user, he is able to sense some faint differences in Danzo’s pair of Mangekyou Sharingan compared to Shinichi and ‘Madara’s’ and even Uchiha Shisui’s pair of Mangekyou Sharingan.
In particular, Danzo’s Susano’o, its strength is far stronger than Shinichi and ‘Madara’s’ Susano’o, well, in terms of raw power that is. Heck, even Deva Path’s concept and understanding of the strength of Susano’o was today.
Hearing Deva Path’s words, Danzo chuckled, “It seems you realize it… however, you realized too late, and it makes no difference.”
Roar!
As Danzo finished his words, his Susano’o let out a violent roar that shook the souls of both Deva Path and Konan.
Konan coughed out blood, she then wiped it away and said coldly, “Danzo, do you think you will be able to escape from the Akatsuki Organization? Even if you kill me here, Nagato would hunt you down to the ends of this world… you will die!”
Danzo grinned, “There exist countless people who want to kill me, but here I am.” Then he looked at Konan and Deva Path and sighed, “Hanzō was really useless, he couldn’t get rid of just two brats, if he had completed his job and eliminated the two of you back then, things in the Shinobi World wouldn’t be as messy as they are.” After a pause, his smirk widened, his expression turned frenzied, and he added with a hysterical laugh, “No matter, I will complete what Hanzō didn’t. It won’t be very long when I obtain them, after I do, I will kill all of you one by one.”
Danzo’s words obviously angered Konan, but more than anger, there was confusion upon hearing his arrogant declaration.
By now, Konan has figured out that all the rumors about the problem in his soul are probably false, and if she isn’t mistaken, then those rumors were probably spread by Danzo, the same goes for his whereabouts, he probably leaked them out through some channel in order to lead someone. Konan is very sure of this because even when they arrived in the cave, Danzo acted as if he was expecting someone to come after him.
Deva Path was also somewhat curious now, and asked, “How did you get your hands on Hiruko’s Chimera Jutsu? And who were you waiting for in this cave?”
“How did I obtain the Chimera Jutsu? Why don’t you try and figure it out by yourself? As for the person I was waiting for, it’s just a stepping stone for me.” Danzo said mysteriously, then looked at the sky and said, “Well anyway, when I obtain the eyes on the same level as your Rinnegan, I will come back to continue this skirmish, and at that time if you still haven’t figured it out, then I will definitely answer your question before putting an end to your miserable lives.” As he said these words, his Susano’o roared again, shaking the soul of two, taking advantage of this moment, he dispersed his Susano’o and retreated from the battlefield.
Seeing Danzo retreating, Konan tried to chase after him.
But before she could go, Deva Path stopped her and said, “Leave him be.”
“But… Nagato, he.” Konan looked Deva Path in the eye and tried to say something.
The last words spoken by Danzo, ‘When I obtain the eyes on the same level as your Rinnegan.’ Made Konan quite concerned. He has declared that he will awaken a pair of Dojutsu that will be on the same level as Nagato’s Rinnegan, and this greatly worried her.
Deva Path nodded, “I know you are worried Konan, but I can’t allow you to go, his strength is higher than either of us expected, so even if we do stop him, we would have no way to take out any information from him unless he reveals it himself.”
Konan nodded with a sigh, “I understand.” And added with a thoughtful expression, “Everything up until now points that Danzo had laid a trap for someone and was waiting here for them, and this may even relate to his claim of awakening eyes on the same level as you… wait, Nagato, do you really think it’s possible? Can he really awaken such Dojutsu?”
Deva Path nodded lightly, “Yes, it’s possible…”
Konan was taken aback by Deva Path’s response, “Are you serious?”
Deva Path nodded, “While we were fighting Danzo, I was able to sense small bursts of Visual Prowess that were as strong as my Rinnegan’s, I was confused and didn’t think too much into it, but now everything makes sense.”
“We have to do something.” Said Konan.
Deva Path said while looking in the direction Danzo escaped, “No need to worry, I am already on my way here, he won’t be able to escape.”
…
Danzo’s side
After retreating from the battlefield, Danzo started using Swift Release and speeded, in a few hours he had left the Land of Waterfall.
He may have destroyed Five of Six Paths of Pain; he is also very tired as he consumed quite a lot of his chakra and visual prowess.
Danzo understands that he can’t stay in the same area for very long, Akatsuki came after him, and there is certainly nothing stopping the five great villages to come after him. He doesn’t want to engage in prolonged battles because he needs to recover chakra and physical strength to be in his top form when he encounters members of the Amatsukami Organization.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
But it appears that fate has something else in store because just when he doesn’t want to encounter another fight, a small army consisting of hundreds of shinobi wearing the forehead protector of Kusagakure ambushed him and surrounded him from all sides.
The commander of the Kusagakure army saw Danzo’s state, and was clear that Danzo has had a tough battle not long ago, this information delighted him, and he loudly said to Danzo in a threatening and ordering tone of voice, “Danzo, hand over the Chimera Jutsu and also the pair of Mangekyou Sharingan that you have, and I can consider letting you live.”
Danzo snorted coldly, he looked at the hundreds of Kusagakure shinobi with a gloomy and murderous gaze, and said in response, “If you want Chimera Jutsu and my Mangekyou Sharingan from me, then it depends on whether you have the ability to take it from me!” and prepared for the battle.
