chapter 198 part 4
The powerful energy fluctuations caused Danzo's entire arm to go out of control instantly. The wildly growing trees, like maddened beasts, actually turned back to swallow half of his face!
Danzo's eyes widened in horror. His face was filled with disbelief. He wanted to move, but found that his feet had been tied up with a bundle of rope at some unknown time!
Danzo gritted his teeth fiercely. Without any hesitation, he pulled a short blade from his waist and, using all his strength, ruthlessly chopped off his arm that had been transplanted with Hashirama's cells!
"Pfft!" With a dull sound, Danzo's arm fell to the ground. Blood gushed out like a fountain.
He endured the excruciating pain of his severed arm, his face contorted in agony, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger. He then cut the ropes on his legs and jumped back, creating some distance.
Just as Danzo stabilized himself, he subconsciously raised his head and looked toward the eaves of a nearby house.
This one look made Danzo's anger instantly burst through the heavens!
There, a figure identical to Uchiha Ren was holding a girl.
The girl was holding a drawing board, concentrating on sketching something.
Danzo instantly recognized her as Yakumo Kurama, the young lady of the Kurama clan!
Uchiha Ren waved at the shadow clone and Yakumo Kurama on the roof, "Thanks for your hard work!"
Yakumo Kurama hurriedly shook her head, "I-I'm sorry! I haven't been able to help at all! It's a good thing I could help now!"
Uchiha Ren replied gently, "I also didn't expect my Mangekyo ability to perfectly counter the enemy. Better late than never. You came at just the right time."
"Damn beast! Damn brat!" Danzo's enraged roar echoed around the outskirts of the Uchiha Clan grounds. He forcefully threw his short blade at Yakumo Kurama on the eaves, but the blade was easily knocked away by Uchiha Ren's shadow clone!
At the same time, the two Earth Grudge Fear creatures on Uchiha Ren's shoulders drilled out of his body. Danzo thought the two creatures were coming straight for him, but he didn't expect them to change direction. The Wind Style Earth Grudge Fear pulled the Water Style Earth Grudge Fear and flew onto the eaves.
The meaning was very clear.
With the two of them there, it was impossible to harm Yakumo Kurama!
Yakumo Kurama looked at the two monsters made of black blood vessels standing in front of her. Although she felt a bit strange, her heart felt warm.
"Danzo," Uchiha Ren spread his hands. "You're a dying man. Do you have any last words? How about you say something about the Will of Fire? I'll have Yakumo Kurama record it for you. I'll use it when I go to the toilet later."
"Damn brat! My Will of Fire! Aaaahhhh!"
Danzo let out a hysterical roar, forming a hand seal with one hand. "Self-Cursing Seal!"
Black lines instantly attached themselves to Uchiha Ren's body!
These lines bound Uchiha Ren's body, preventing him from moving even his little finger, as if he were frozen.
Danzo strode towards Uchiha Ren.
Seeing that things were not looking good, Yakumo Kurama quickly drew a picture of a bound Danzo on her drawing board. And because of the ropes binding him, Danzo took a very pathetic tumble to the ground!
At this moment, he was only five meters away from Uchiha Ren, but that was enough!
Danzo bit the tip of his tongue and roared hysterically with all his strength, "Die!!! Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!"
Following Danzo's shout, a powerful and evil energy erupted from his body. With him at the center, a huge Four Symbols Seal pattern slowly emerged, emitting a heart-pounding aura, attempting to drag Uchiha Ren along with him into an endless abyss of darkness.
It was as if Danzo could already see Uchiha Ren's death in his eyes, and a victorious expression appeared on his face.
However... his wish was not granted.
Uchiha Ren's body was suddenly covered in the sacred light of the Armored Susanoo: New Curse Mark state. Then, his golden single-tomoe Sharingan stared at Danzo.
"Miwa Myojin's Divine Net Barrier!" Uchiha Ren roared, and a transparent barrier quickly spread out with him at the center.
This barrier seemed formless, yet it exuded an indestructible aura.
The black, evil energy, like a ferocious beast, charged towards Uchiha Ren without a care, trying to devour him.
However, when this unstoppable energy reached Uchiha Ren, it was as if it had hit an invisible high wall, and it all stopped.
The scene at this moment was like Uchiha Ren was in a sturdy glass room, calmly looking at the surging black energy outside.
No matter how wildly the evil energy raged like a torrential downpour, it couldn't affect him in the slightest.
Danzo watched with wide eyes as his highly-anticipated Reverse Four Symbols Sealing was easily blocked by this divine barrier. The victorious expression on his face instantly froze, replaced by endless terror and despair.
Before his consciousness completely left this world, Danzo heard Uchiha Ren's joking, sarcastic remark: "The Great Sealing Bridge Technique ended up not even sealing a bridge, just some floor tiles. What a pity..."
Is that so?
Alright then.
Danzo, with a sense of desperate helplessness, closed his eyes forever.
On the roof, Yakumo Kurama was already speechless.
She had just watched her Brother Ren kill Danzo, a Konoha higher-up and Kage-level powerhouse, right here. This explosive amount of information left the young and inexperienced girl unsure of what to do.
But she knew one thing: her Brother Ren was innocent, and Danzo was not a good person.
Uchiha Ren watched as Danzo was tortured into such a miserable state before finally dying to the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing, and shouted with all his might, "A good death!!!"
After roaring, his chest heaved as he breathed rapidly.
This battle was fought from beginning to end.
First against Itachi, then a brief exchange with Obito, and finally fighting a full-power Danzo and several Root ninja. Uchiha Ren had already reached his limit.
"Haa... haa..."
After taking a few deep breaths, he looked toward the clan grounds and exchanged a glance with the shadow clone up high. The clone picked up Yakumo Kurama, descended from the roof, and without a word of explanation, called the two Earth Grudge Fear creatures and ran off into the distance.
"You should go home," Uchiha Ren waved at Yakumo Kurama.
Yakumo Kurama first looked with confusion at the departing shadow clone, then asked Uchiha Ren, "What about you?"
Uchiha Ren didn't rest much. He started walking as he spoke:
"Tonight's battle... is far from over."
