Chapter 118: Izanagi
The words fell.
Naruto raised his Zanpakutō.
Senbonzakura's blade gleamed in his hand.
Like a Shinigami's scythe.
It swung down.
The next moment.
Danzo stared in horror at the falling Senbonzakura, unable to react in time.
Senbonzakura had already pierced through his body.
Puff.
Blood splattered.
Countless bright red drops burst from the wound Senbonzakura had created. Danzo let out a sudden scream.
Then everyone watched.
Danzo's arm, covered in Sharingan, was cut off by Naruto.
That hideous arm, now stained with blood, fell miserably to the ground.
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes went wide.
Danzo also glared at Naruto with a ferocious face.
They hadn't expected the battle to end so quickly.
Danzo was so powerless against Naruto. Naruto had chopped off one of his arms in a single strike.
But even though it was a crushing victory, Naruto felt no joy.
Instead, he felt something was very wrong. He frowned.
There was a sense of dissonance everywhere.
Then Naruto snorted coldly.
At that moment, his golden pupils turned bright red.
Mangekyō Sharingan. Activate.
A six-pointed star Mangekyō appeared in Naruto's pupils instantly.
Then powerful pupil power erupted from Naruto.
The entire meeting hall shook.
After opening his Mangekyō, the world around him seemed to shatter and suddenly change.
Naruto was still standing in front of Danzo.
But Danzo, at that moment, didn't look wounded at all.
Instead, Danzo looked at Naruto very calmly. His arm covered in Sharingan hadn't fallen. It appeared on Danzo intact, as if nothing had happened.
After seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. Their eyes were full of confusion.
What was happening?
They had clearly seen Danzo's arm get cut off by Naruto. So how was Danzo unscathed when the scene changed? He appeared before everyone safe and sound.
Fourth Raikage Ai and Tsuchikage Onoki also frowned.
The scene before them was hard to understand.
Uchiha Obito, however, narrowed his eyes after his expression shifted slightly. He spoke slowly and coldly:
"Izanagi."
After hearing Uchiha Obito's words, Danzo frowned, snorted coldly, and showed no fear at all. Instead, he sneered arrogantly and said:
"Hmph. That's right. It's Izanagi. The forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan."
"What?" Everyone looked at Danzo in shock and confusion.
They were very puzzled. They didn't know what was going on.
Soon, without waiting for Danzo to speak, Uchiha Obito narrowed his eyes and explained to everyone:
"Izanagi is one of the ultimate pupil techniques of the Uchiha clan. This technique can transform any unfavorable factors, including death, into a dream in a very short period of time. At the same time, it transforms any attack that benefits the caster into reality."
"It is the Uchiha's strongest pupil technique."
"But the price of using Izanagi is that the caster's eye will lose its light forever. So this technique is also a forbidden technique of the Uchiha."
Hearing Uchiha Obito's words, everyone was suddenly enlightened but also shocked.
They hadn't expected Danzo to be able to use the Uchiha's forbidden technique.
He had such powerful abilities.
Danzo also heard Uchiha Obito's explanation. But after using Izanagi, he seemed to feel he had the advantage. He didn't mind Uchiha Obito explaining Izanagi's abilities and strengths to everyone.
Instead, Danzo sneered darkly and said:
"That's right. As expected of the Uchiha clan. You know your own illusions very well."
"Since you know the power and strength of this illusion, you also know that as long as I have Sharingan, I can never lose. The Nine-Tails Jinchuriki is nothing to me."
"As for the price... heh. All these Sharingan are more than enough for me to kill the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki."
After hearing Danzo's words, everyone noticed that one of the Sharingan on Danzo's hideous arm had slowly closed.
After Danzo finished speaking, everyone frowned, as if they understood the power of Izanagi.
Terumi Mei also looked at Naruto with some concern.
But at that moment, Naruto showed no fear at all.
No panic whatsoever.
Even though he already knew how terrifying Izanagi's abilities were from Danzo and Uchiha Obito's explanations, he still stood strong.
His scarlet six-pointed star Mangekyō stared at Danzo.
Seeing Naruto standing before him calmly, without any reaction, Danzo was also confused. He wondered why Naruto was still so calm.
But before he could react, he heard Naruto's cold, murderous laughter.
That laughter was slightly unhinged.
Hearing it made people tremble.
It sounded like a god of death laughing.
"Heh heh. Very good. Killing you once isn't enough to satisfy my hatred. That would be too easy for you. It would be even better if you could die a few more times."
"Then I'll let you die again and again. Let you feel the pain completely. Feel the despair."
After he finished speaking, everyone was stunned.
Everyone, including Danzo, looked at Naruto in disbelief and shock.
They never expected that after hearing how powerful Izanagi was, Naruto's first thought wasn't how to counter such a powerful technique.
Instead, he wanted to kill Danzo over and over.
Until Danzo felt the pain.
Danzo was also full of shock as he looked at Naruto in horror.
At that moment, Naruto stood before him like a Shinigami.
Those cold words made him feel a flicker of fear.
It seemed he could already see what was coming.
The Izanagi he was so proud of didn't seem to be the start of a counterattack. On the contrary, it had opened the door to the abyss.
The next moment, before Danzo could react—
He watched in horror as Naruto's Zanpakutō, Senbonzakura, rose again.
The Shinigami's blade arrived as promised.
And the power of this strike.
Was even stronger than before.
It seemed this strike would shake the world. Would cut through all the injustices of this world.
Naruto was coming for Danzo's life.
This time, he wanted Danzo to feel the pain completely.
To feel hopelessness.
To feel the anger that had been building for thirteen years.
