Konoha: Sage Body

In Konoha Prison, the White Zetsu clone descended from the sky disguised as a mysterious warrior.

As soon as he arrived, some highly perceptive ninjas inside the prison immediately sensed his presence and notified their fellow prisoners.

"Intruder!"

The same voice quickly echoed through Konoha Prison.

At the same time, the alarm sounded, signalling an intruder, and the sound resonated throughout the prison.

At this time, in the four directions of the entire Konoha Prison, four masked jōnin suddenly appeared. They all quickly took out a scroll from their bodies, and after opening it, there were the seal techniques for some kind of Lightning Release sealing barrier.

They condensed a huge amount of Lightning Release Chakra and placed their hands on top of it.

In an instant, the seal techniques in the four scrolls were activated one after the other, and four huge pillars of lightning shot up into the sky. They then quickly connected with each other, and a dense flash of lightning shot out from the four pillars, connecting with each other to eventually form a four-sided, transparent, blue sealing barrier.

Lightning Release: Thunder Binding!

As the sealing barrier formed, a group of black ninjas wearing masks jumped out from some hidden places. They consciously blocked the way in front of the White Zetsu clone, taking care of the prison guards who charged at them.

There were less than twenty of these black ninjas, but each of them was a real jōnin. Even when facing enemies several times their number, they were still at ease, overwhelming the large number of prison guards, who were only chūnin, and knocking them down.

With someone else doing the dirty work of eliminating the minions and drawing the attention of most of the enemies, Kirito was naturally able to infiltrate the prison very easily.

During the process, the head of a White Zetsu appeared on his shoulder, and then a large number of black lines were spat out of his mouth. These black lines fell to the ground and began to quickly converge together, eventually forming four masked monsters wearing masks of different colors.

They are the Earth Grudge Masked Monsters.

The White Zetsu clone that now appears on Kirito's shoulders is another White Zetsu clone that Kirito used to practice the Earth Grudge Secret Technique. It is called the Earth Grudge clone by Kirito, and it is now controlled by the White Zetsu clone that is playing the role of the mysterious warrior.

Four Chakra lines shot out from the White Zetsu clone and pierced the four Masked Monsters.

The four Masked Monsters immediately trembled, and then released the four powerful ninja techniques of Wind Release, Fire Release, Earth Release and Water Release, destroying the various seals, enchantments and sealing barriers within the prison as well as the ninja who had come to attack them.

On the other side, deep inside the prison, in the room where Danzo was located.

Danzo was sitting cross-legged on the ground with a gloomy expression. He already knew what was going on outside, and for some reason, a sense of tension arose in his heart.

"It seems that after the deaths of the teacher and Mito, the Senju clan is not without its ruthless people. But this is also within my expectations. Before dying, ninjas always want to drag someone down with them. Not to mention the prestigious Senju clan. If they don't strike when provoked, that would be extremely disappointing to me."

Danzo sneered in his heart.

Senju Momo The head of the Senju clan invited the person in charge of each ninja clan in Konoha to a banquet at the Senju Clan territory. The attack on Konoha Prison happened shortly after the banquet began. No one would believe that there was no foul play if the timing was that coincidental.

It was clear that the Senju clan had learned about what Root had done to Nawaki.

Now they had come for revenge.

However, the Senju clan must not have obtained any real evidence, otherwise they would not have chosen such a simple and crude method to deal with him.

And this is exactly what he wants.

He wants to use this attack by the Senju clan on him to seriously damage the prestige of the Senju clan in the village, and let this incident become the trigger for the division of the Konoha ninja into factions.

"Trying to kill me in Konoha? That's just wishful thinking."

Danzo thought about the troops he had deployed here in the Konoha prison, and the unease in his heart immediately disappeared, and he closed his eyes again.

He knew the situation of the Senju clan very well. Although there were still two ninjas, Tsunade and Momo, whose strength surpassed that of the average elite jōnin, there were less than 20 jōnin in total. The Senju clan, lacking Kage-Level powerhouses, was just so-so and could no longer be called the strongest ninja clan in Konoha.

The strongest ninja clan in Konoha was currently the Uchiha clan, followed by the Sarutobi clan, Hyuga clan, and Shimura clan, and only then could it be the Senju clan.

With the current strength of the Senju clan, it is simply delusional to think that they can break into Konoha Prison and come for him.

Because the standing force of Konoha Prison is five jōnin and one hundred chūnin, and there are also many powerful sealing barriers and sealing arrays here, these sealing barriers and sealing arrays are enough to match up to twenty jōnin, and there is no problem holding up twenty jōnin for several hours.

Even if the Senju clan had the money to pay for disaster relief, and found many desperate outlaws from Konoha and outside to cooperate in killing him, he would not be afraid.

Because the guarding forces here at his Konoha Prison are not only the standing forces of the Konoha Prison, but also ten Root jōnin he secretly transferred here, including three elite jōnin, each of whom possesses powerful secret and forbidden techniques.

Finally, the ANBU that Sandaime had sent to monitor him could also be considered his protection force. There were also ten jōnin here, including five elite jōnin.

With such a formidable protection force, how could the mere Senju clan possibly break through these protective measures and successfully kill him, a Kage-Level powerhouse?

Just as Danzo felt confident about the protective forces in the Konoha prison, an ANBU ninja suddenly burst into the room and said in an commanding tone, "Danzo, a powerful guy is coming. You will be in danger. Transfer immediately."

"Danger? This is Konoha, what danger could there be?"

Danzo sneered upon hearing the voice and tone of the person in front of him.

"I'm not negotiating with you, this is an order,"

The ANBU ninja continued to give orders, and then one hand began to form an imprint.

Seeing that the ANBU ninja in front of him was still being tough, Danzo suddenly stood up, reopened his eyes, and stared at the other party with eyes exuding cold and murderous intent, threatening him without any reservations: "Takashi Sarutobi, do you think I dare not kill you?"

As soon as the words fell, a cold and terrifying chakra fluctuation mixed with murderous intent instantly exploded from Danzo's body.

The pressure of a Kage-Level powerhouse directly impacted the ANBU ninja.

The ANBU squad leader, the son of Sandaime, Takashi Sarutobi, immediately stood on end at the sight, sensing a great crisis. Without hesitation, he activated the Vajra Curse Mark on Danzo's body in an attempt to suppress the latter's restless movements.

But he miscalculated. He suddenly noticed that Danzo in front of him had disappeared, and in his place was an impenetrable darkness. He was enveloped in darkness, and felt as if he were sinking into a dark quagmire, his body rapidly falling downward.

He knew that he had fallen victim to Danzo's Bringer-of-Darkness Technique, and immediately tried to undo the illusion by forming seals, but found that he couldn't move.

At some point, he was surrounded by many dark tentacles, and his body could not move at all. He could only watch as he sank into the dark quagmire.

In reality, Sarutobi Takashi's entire body was bound by the dark tentacles sticking out from under Danzo. His bright eyes were now dull and lifeless, and his face behind the mask had a dazed expression.

The Bringer-of-Darkness Technique combined with the secret techniques of the Nara clan.

This was the result of Danzo's study of ninjutsu during his time in prison. After learning two ninjutsu techniques and exploring them tirelessly while constantly in the dark, his understanding of Yin Release Technique improved by leaps and bounds.

One day, he successfully combined the two ninjutsu techniques, presumably by incorporating the Nara family secret technique into the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique. Using the ability of the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique to deprive the enemy of their sight, he secretly created dark tentacles with the ability to mimic shadows to bind the enemy.

The power of the forbidden Bringer-of-Darkness Technique is not just about depriving the enemy of their sight, but also about using Yin Release Chakra to create dark matter that absorbs all light.

Not only can this dark matter absorb all light, it can also greatly weaken the enemy's various sensory abilities.

Now, he has added the power of the Nara Secret Technique to this dark matter, so that they can control the enemy without them noticing.

Dark Binding Technique!

This is the name that Danzo gave to the ninjutsu he created after incorporating the Nara Secret Technique into the Bringer-of-Darkness Technique.

"How foolish! He doesn't even know his own strength. An elite jōnin like him actually dares to give orders to me. He really doesn't know when to die."

Danzo looked at his Dark Binding Technique instantly control the elite jōnin Sarutobi Takashi and smiled contentedly.

This shows that his strength is much stronger than before, and he is now fully capable of leaving this broken prison alone.

"Danzo, what have you done? Release the minister at once! If Sandaime-sama finds out about this, you will definitely not get off lightly."

As Sarutobi Takashi was controlled by Danzo, the other ANBU ninjas around him could no longer sit still. One elite jōnin from the Sarutobi clan, in particular, was so anxious that he shouted, decisively threatening Danzo with Sandaime.

As soon as the words fell, nine ANBU jōnin surrounded Danzo.

The other ten Root jōnin present surrounded the ANBU jōnin in turn.

Danzo was completely unconcerned by the fact that he was surrounded by nine jōnin. Just as he was about to teach the elite jōnin who had threatened him by producing Sandaime a lesson with his actions, his face changed, and he quickly formed hand seals with both hands. A large mass of dark material enveloped his entire body.

The other ninjas present also sensed the danger approaching and used various techniques to defend themselves.

Next, a wave of searing heat rushed in through the cell door, and a huge explosion occurred in the cell.

At the same time, a huge pillar of fire rose from Konoha Prison and quickly expanded.

When the huge pillar of fire disappeared, a huge hole had appeared in the center of Konoha Prison, and sunlight shone into the deepest part of Konoha Prison for the first time.

A black cocoon was also revealed in the sunlight.

"Crack..."

The black cocoon cracked open, and Danzo emerged from it, panting heavily. Apart from the fact that he was drenched in sweat, he was otherwise unharmed.

However, when he looked at his surroundings, his face turned extremely ugly.

All twenty jōnin, except for Sarutobi Takashi, who had been protected by many ANBU jōnin at the critical moment, were dead, reduced to nineteen charred corpses.

"Who exactly released that Fire Release jutsu just now?"

Danzo was filled with fear.

The Fire Release Jutsu just performed was the most powerful he had ever seen in his life. If he had not used a large amount of Dark Binding in time to create a dark substance to protect himself and isolate himself from the sudden high temperature flames, he would have definitely turned into a burnt corpse just like the jōnin in front of him.

Soon, he knew exactly who had performed it. A mysterious warrior wearing a demon face mask appeared in front of him, and there were four strange masked creatures formed by a large number of black lines around him.

Danzo felt a chill run down his spine when he saw the mysterious warrior and the four masked monsters.

He recognized the mysterious warrior and the four masked monsters.

The information he had obtained from Sandaime told him that the mysterious warrior was none other than the mysterious Shadow-Level powerhouse who had killed the immortal Kakuzu, and the four masked monsters were obviously monsters that the other party had cultivated after seizing Kakuzu's Earth Grudge Secret Technique.

"This person was already very powerful, with the strength to kill a Kage-Level powerhouse. Now that he has successfully cultivated the Earth Grudge Secret Technique of the Immortal Kakuzu, his strength must be even greater than it was a year ago. How could the Senju clan have hired such a powerful person to kill me? Could it be that this person has some connection to the Senju clan?"

Danzo's previous confidence vanished as he pondered the situation with a grave face, having understood the strength of the mysterious warrior.

This is a very likely possibility. A skinny camel is still bigger than a horse. No matter how the Senju clan has fallen, its legacy is still very large, and it has a lot of human connections as part of that legacy.

After all, the first Hokage was a good person, strong, generous, and had a wide circle of friends.

It is possible that this mysterious warrior's ancestors had received favours from the first Hokage, and now he has been hired by the Senju clan to kill him.

He quickly scanned the area to see if there was any way to break out, but he painfully discovered that a huge sealing barrier had already appeared around the prison. It was impossible for him to escape while fighting the mysterious warrior.

"For now, the only thing I can do is to buy as much time as possible. With all the commotion here, that guy Sarutobi Hiruzen must have already known. As long as I hold out a little longer, reinforcements will arrive soon. Yes, this is Konoha, I don't need to escape, the one who should escape is the other party."

Danzo continued to calmly think about his situation as he noticed it.

The next moment, he bit his thumb to prepare to use his summoning technique to summon a summoning beast to help him.

But as soon as he made a move, a high-density wind mass was released from the Wind Release Masked Monster.

Also attacking at the same time were the Fire Release Masked Monster and the Lightning Release Masked Monster, with huge waves of fire and huge lightning bolts shooting from their mouths.

The three Masked Monsters released their ninjutsu within a time period of less than 0.1 seconds.

Wind Release: Pressure Damage!

Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work!

Lightning Release· False Darkness!

The wind rises and the fire spreads, and the fire and lightning explode!

In an instant, Danzo once again witnessed the terrifying Fire Release Ninjutsu he had just seen!

This was obviously not some simple powerful Fire Release Ninjutsu, but a super combination Ninjutsu formed by combining Wind Release, Fire Release, and Lightning Release. It was immensely powerful and had an equally huge coverage area.

Danzo found that he had no chance to dodge.

He also instantly judged that his Water Release ability alone could not release a Water Release Water Formation Wall powerful enough to block such a terrifying combination technique.

He had no choice but to summon the Mythical Beast to assist him, once again expending a large amount of Yin Release Chakra to create a large amount of dark matter to protect himself.

"Hm, they came really fast, but there are not many of them. It seems that Momo invited the other clan leaders to the banquet was a good move. With the loss of the leaders of the Konoha ninja clans, it is unlikely that Sandaime will be able to get the ninja clans to send someone out for a while."

Kirito watched as Danzo once again used an unknown Yin Release Technique to protect himself. He was planning to use another powerful Jutsu to break Danzo's shell when he noticed by using his Byakugan that Sandaime was leading a large group of ANBU ninja towards them.

Danzo was not to be feared, but Sandaime and the many ANBU elites who had come to support him were something he could not afford to ignore.

Sandaime is still in his prime and his strength has not declined much. His strength is still ranked among the best among the Kage-Level powerhouses, unlike Danzo, a shoddy Kage-Level powerhouse who gives him the feeling of being inferior in terms of strength.

"Anyway, everyone who should have retreated has already left, so I'll let Sandaime be the judge of my current strength."

Kirito suddenly felt a heroic spirit rise up in him, and he wanted to compete with Sandaime, who was currently known as the The Professor in the ninja world.

The next moment, the Yin Seal in the center of the White Zetsu clone's eyebrows opened, and a huge amount of chakra suddenly surged out of him. He then began to rapidly absorb natural energy from the outside world, allowing the chakra to combine with the natural energy to form Sage Chakra.

A special chakra fluctuation was instantly released from the White Zetsu clone, rapidly spreading in all directions.

"This chakra is..."

Danzo was closest to Kirito, and naturally he was the first to sense the fluctuation of Sage Chakra, and his face instantly changed.

A feeling of despair that he had not felt in a long time quietly arose in his heart.

He was one of the lucky few to have seen the first Hokage use Sage techniques, and at one point, he had longed to obtain this power in order to become the Hokage himself.

Unfortunately, he did not have the potential for it, and could only give up in despair. However, he was still extremely familiar with the fluctuations of Sage Chakra.

He never expected that the enemy he encountered this time would be so powerful. Not only did he have the strength to kill a Kage-Level powerhouse, but he also possessed the power of Sage techniques.

"I absolutely cannot let him successfully activate Sage Mode, or I will be dead for sure, and there is no way I can hold out until Sarutobi Hiruzen comes to save me."

Danzo realized that he was at a critical juncture, and no longer cared about continuing to defend himself. He was prepared to go all out and fight for a glimmer of hope.

So, Danzo decisively stopped using the black substance to defend himself and instead used it to attack.

A large number of black spikes formed from black substance shot out from under him, piercing towards the White Zetsu clone, who was activating Sage Mode.

Unfortunately, Kirito's mental arithmetic power was now too strong, and even though he was concentrating on activating Sage Mode, he still had the energy to protect himself. The Water Release Masked Monster and Earth Release Masked Monster behind him simultaneously used different ninjutsu.

A huge, thick wall of water appeared in front of Kirito, blocking all the incoming black spikes.

The ground under Danzo's hiding place suddenly sank rapidly, causing his attack to miss.

Water Release: Water Formation Wall!

Earth Release: Moving Earth Core!

On the other side, Sandaime, who was heading towards Konoha Prison at high speed, finally sensed the Sage Chakra fluctuations released from the White Zetsu clone.

Like Danzo, Sandaime instantly sensed something, and his face instantly changed, and he said in surprise, "The enemy is actually so powerful, I'm afraid Danzo is in danger..."

It had been less than five minutes since he received the news that the Konoha Prison had been attacked.

He had originally thought that with the defensive capabilities of the Konoha Prison, it would be more than enough to delay the enemy for another five minutes, so that his people could successfully surround the enemy and completely annihilate them. However, judging from the enemy's current strength, delaying them for even one more minute was wishful thinking.

A ninja capable of generating Sage Chakra was no weakling; they must be a Kage-Level powerhouse at the very least.

"We must be faster. Danzo cannot die yet,"

Sandaime cursed.

Although he had not received any information about who the enemy was targeting, he knew from the unusual actions of the Senju clan today who the attack was aimed at.

Just as no wall is impenetrable, the news that he had been trying to suppress had ultimately not been able to be completely concealed.

Danzo had ultimately paid for his wrongdoings, and it was only natural that he should suffer this calamity today.

However, he could not bear to see Danzo die like this. Once Danzo died, the things he had previously assigned Danzo to do might be revealed, and Danzo might set off some back-up plans.

By then, Konoha would surely be in chaos.

The Sarutobi clan would also face the crisis of extinction.

As the Hokage and the head of the Sarutobi clan, he absolutely could not allow such a thing to happen.

"Everyone is a worry, and none of them take me, the Hokage, seriously. This is truly hateful."

Sandaime suddenly felt like exploding with rage, and a malicious thought arose in his heart to destroy everything that dared go against his will.

Once this thought occurred, he decisively accelerated, no longer considering whether the ANBU behind him could keep up.

In an instant, a large amount of blue and white electricity emerged from his body, and his speed suddenly increased several times.

Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique!

Once the Lightning Stimulation Secret Technique was activated, Sandaime's speed instantly increased several times. Originally, there was still a distance of two to three kilometers between him and Konoha Prison, but in less than ten seconds, he successfully arrived.

However, a huge sealing barrier blocked his path.

At this time, he looked through the transparent blue sealing barrier to see what was going on inside.

In the sky, he saw a mysterious warrior, who was emitting a powerful fluctuation of Sage Chakra, standing on top of a monster wearing a water blue mask. Behind him were three monster masks made up of a large number of black lines, and they had almost simultaneously released three different ninjutsu.

He recognized the three ninjutsu as Wind Release: Pressure Damage, Fire Release: Intelligent Hard Work, and Lightning Release· False Darkness.

However, the forms of these three ninjutsu techniques released at this time were different from those he had seen before.

A high-density golden wind mass.

A huge blue fire wave.

A huge purple lightning spear.

The powerful ninjutsu techniques with their three different forms were combined together, and a huge black sea of fire enveloped a sunken piece of ground.

At the same time, he also heard a familiar scream.

However, the scream only lasted for a split second before it stopped abruptly.

Sandaime's eyes instantly turned red upon seeing this, and a shocking murderous intent exploded from his body. Many memories also flashed through his mind rapidly.

"The mission is complete."

Kirito looked at the crater below, which was enveloped in a sea of black fire, and then felt the disappearance of Danzo's life force and a voice that he really wanted to hear, and smiled slightly.
