As Yamanaka Inoichi immediately went out to notify the Third Hokage, he happened to see eight Root ninjas brought by Danzō simultaneously attacking the lone Uchiha Chisen.
Four Root ninjas stood in four different positions, surrounding Uchiha Chisen.
They all formed hand seals in unison and used a sealing Ninjutsu that was outside Yamanaka Inoichi's knowledge.
Instantly!
From the four corners, beams of dim green light shot into the sky, stopping only after extending more than ten meters high. The beams extended to form light screens connecting the front, back, left, and right, and then extended up and down to seal the top and ground.
This formed a sizable dim green Chakra cube, trapping Uchiha Chisen within.
The other four Root ninjas closed in, wielding their ninja swords.
Their ninja sword blades were all enshrouded in Wind Release Chakra.
Flashes of sword light, too fast for the naked eye to see, filled Uchiha Chisen's vision.
Although the ninja swords did not touch Uchiha Chisen, the Chakra wind blades attached to them left numerous ghastly "wounds" on his body.
Then, one Root ninja seized an opportunity and severed Uchiha Chisen's right arm, sending it flying high into the air.
"What an opportunity!"
Another Root ninja drew a sealing scroll from his waist, quickly unrolled it, bit his thumb, and pressed his palm onto the scroll, exclaiming in a low voice, "Ninjutsu: Sealing Technique: Evil Sealing Method!!!"
A terrifying suction force emanated from the scroll, pulling the flying arm into it and sealing it within.
The remaining Root ninjas immediately leaped back, creating distance between themselves and Uchiha Chisen.
This hit-and-run tactic appeared incredibly synchronized and natural.
It was as if they had practiced it countless times.
"Heh heh..."
Danzō, also within the Chakra cube's sealing space, sneered mockingly. "I learned about your special Lava Release Kekkei Genkai, which is similar to the Water Transformation Technique, from you last time. Since ordinary physical attacks don't affect you much, I'll cut your entire body into pieces and then seal them separately."
This was one of the tactics Danzō had devised over the past few days to deal with Uchiha Chisen.
Looking at Uchiha Chisen's missing right arm.
Danzō's mocking smile grew even more pronounced.
However.
Danzō noticed that Uchiha Chisen didn't seem to react much.
But in the next second.
Danzō and the other Root ninjas' eyes suddenly sharpened, as they saw Uchiha Chisen's severed right arm slowly begin to surge!
The magma at his shoulder continuously extended, and after reaching the length of an arm, it gradually condensed into the shape of an arm.
When the flowing magma receded, a perfectly intact right arm appeared on Uchiha Chisen's body!
Danzō was stunned.
"During the Third Shinobi World War, ninjas from other villages tried to seal me using similar methods," Uchiha Chisen said, walking forward slowly, his voice echoing. "What kind of strange confidence... makes you think you are the 'pioneer' of this method? And what kind of naive thought... makes you believe that the person trapped by this cubic sealing jutsu is me?"
The moment his words fell.
Danzō clearly felt the surrounding temperature suddenly rise!
He could also clearly see that half of Uchiha Chisen's body had transformed into surging, flowing, scorching magma!
Suddenly!
The flowing magma rapidly expanded like a monster with rapidly multiplying flesh tumors in a fantasy novel. In less than half a breath, the cubic sealing jutsu was already half-filled with magma.
Danzō's pupils contracted. His back was pressed tightly against the sealing jutsu's light screen wall, but he could no longer retreat a single step further.
Danzō's alarm bells blared. Without time to think, he immediately shouted urgently to the Root ninjas in the four corners, "Dispel the sealing jutsu!"
As the magma approached within inches, the sealing jutsu was finally dispelled.
Danzō, still shaken, rapidly retreated backward.
—BOOM!!!
The continuously expanding, scorching magma exploded violently, engulfing everything in all directions. But just as it was about to engulf the buildings on the entire street, it suddenly stopped. As if pulled by an invisible force, the magma rapidly contracted back towards the center.
The large amount of magma that retracted into his body did not cause Uchiha Chisen's body to explode.
He could create an infinite amount of magma using Chakra.
He could also recycle the magma back into Chakra.
Bang!
Uchiha Chisen clapped his hands together: "Lava Release..."
Danzō, still feeling the lingering fear, felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly. He was shocked to discover that cracks were appearing on the ground beneath Uchiha Chisen, emitting a crimson glow.
"...Lava Style: Lava Dragon Bullet Technique!"
BOOM!!!
The ground beneath Uchiha Chisen instantly shattered, and a giant lava dragon head burst from the earth, its ferocious maw lunging towards Danzō.
"Damn it!"
Danzō cursed inwardly. Despite bringing so many subordinates, why was this evil Uchiha brat only targeting him?
"Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet Technique!!!" Six Root ninja arrived in front of Danzō simultaneously. Four of them were rapidly forming hand seals.
The other two slammed their palms onto the ground at the same time: "Summoning Technique!"
Four noticeably smaller water dragons and a massive lava dragon head violently collided in the air above Danzō!
Boom!
Boom!
Two colossal turtle-like summoning beasts also suddenly appeared. They each opened their massive mouths, spewing out two streams of water.
Danzō, his expression grim, discovered that only six of his men remained. Two subordinates had vanished without a trace.
He suspected that during the process of dispelling the cubic sealing technique, those two subordinates hadn't managed to retreat in time and were swallowed by the lava.
"Two useless pieces of trash!"
Danzō bit his thumb, his gaze sinister as he looked towards Uchiha Chisen.
"Summoning Technique!"
...
"...It seems there was no need to come at all." Although Yamanaka Inoichi had rushed to the Sarutobi Clan's compound at full speed, he could clearly sense the massive commotion happening far behind him.
Glancing back hastily, he could see, under the hazy moonlight.
A giant lava dragon and several water dragons intertwined and clashed in the sky.
The violent roars were like hundreds of explosive tags detonating simultaneously.
Everyone in Konoha was alerted.
Yamanaka Inoichi could vaguely make out two giant turtles, taller than the surrounding buildings, standing tall. He also saw a "Baku" far more enormous than the giant turtles appear out of nowhere!
Yamanaka Inoichi didn't know whose summoning beasts the two giant turtles were.
But he knew that the "Baku" was Shimura Danzō's summoning beast!
Had it already escalated to such a white-hot stage?
Then his clansmen...
And his wife and daughter...
Suddenly.
Figures leaped out from the Sarutobi Clan's compound. The person at the forefront suddenly caught sight of Yamanaka Inoichi standing at the entrance.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, who had already rapidly changed into his ninja combat attire and wore a very grim expression, suddenly froze.
"Inoichi? What are you doing here?!"
Yamanaka Inoichi didn't explain, merely forcing out a strained sentence: "Hokage-sama, if you don't hurry over there, the Yamanaka Clan's compound might be leveled."
