Chapter 907 Godfather, you've finally remembered me!
Chapter 907 Godfather, you've finally remembered me!
"Dangdang!"
Unfortunately, Kosuke underestimated Han, the host of the Tailed Beast Riders. Before the bewildered Danzo could recover, the large iron pot, deformed by the high temperature of steam, was smashed in front of the two of them.
"How dare you fool me!"
Steam billowing from his body, Han tore through the thick curtain of water, his eyes filled with gloom as he stared at Maruhoshi Kosuke, who was preparing to flee. His iron fist, crackling with power, suddenly rose, unleashing a terrifying, despair-inducing pressure.
Maruhoshi Kosuke's pupils contracted. The threat of death forced his brain to subconsciously start flashing through his mind. Just as he was recalling his embarrassing childhood memory of peeping into the women's bathhouse under the guise of a mission, Danzo suddenly turned around, his already enormous buttocks instantly expanding.
"Buttock Escape - Giant Butt Technique".
"puff--!"
With a muffled thud, Danzo's face turned deathly pale, then a deep liver color under the intense heat. Despite this, he gritted his teeth and shouted towards the Konoha ninjas who were still incapacitated.
"Take the wounded and leave first!"
"Lord Danzo!"
Maruhoshi Kosuke's expression tightened upon seeing this. He drew his willow-leaf-shaped longsword from his back, its sharp sword aura drawing attention. However, Danzo knew very well that this level of sword intent was no match for Han, who possessed the power of a tailed beast.
"Get out of here! You'll only be a burden to me."
"Well"
After taking a deep look at Danzo who was blocking his way, Maruboshi Kosuke slowly loosened his grip on the sword hilt. His gaze fell on the wounded Konoha ninja around him, and with his last ounce of strength, he managed to squeeze out a single word.
"withdraw."
"boom!"
However, no sooner had they finished speaking than a giant lava club descended from the sky, blocking their retreat. Perched atop the club, Komurasaki stroked his red beard, a sinister grin spreading across his face as he looked down at the half-crippled Konoha ninja.
"You can't leave!"
"That Xiu guy is completely unreliable."
Danzo, who had used his secret technique, "Fart Reversal," to repel Han, glanced at Xiu, who was using the Pogan Army to deal with the Fourth Raikage. His expression was extremely ugly.
As for Hanzo, he's out of luck; holding off Onoki is already his limit.
"Am I truly destined to perish here?"
Caught between Komurasaki and Han, even the mentally strong Danzo couldn't help but show a hint of despair.
"Lord Danzo, we'll hold them off for now."
Just then, the Konoha ninjas who had failed to evacuate, led by Maruboshi Kosuke, gathered around, their faces filled with determination.
"You're all going to your deaths!"
Danzo waved his hand dismissively. Was he the kind of despicable person who would abandon his comrades to survive alone?
Looking at the Root troops engaged in fierce fighting with the Tu-Lei alliance in the distance, a dark and unfathomable light flickered in his eyes. At this point, he could only muster his courage for now.
"Hold on a little longer. As long as they are completely routed on the main battlefield, victory in this war will ultimately belong to us."
"Heh, how many seconds do you think you can last under my big stick?"
Upon hearing Danzo's morale-boosting remarks, Komurasaki scoffed, her face full of mockery.
"Don't underestimate me."
Looking up at Komurasaki without any fear, Danzo let out a low growl, bit his finger hard, and slashed his arm with his blood-stained fingertip.
"Spiritual communication!"
Even if Shimura couldn't compare to a powerful clan like the Senju or Uchiha, he was at least on par with Sarutobi.
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi had a powerful summoning beast like Enma by his side, so how could he, as the de facto leader of the Shimura clan, not have corresponding assistance?
"Moo~ Snoring~"
With a deafening roar, a colossal orange beast, almost the size of a tailed beast, plummeted from the sky, its thick, throbbing trunk crashing to the ground and kicking up clouds of dust.
"Is this... a pig?"
Xiao Zi and Han stared in astonishment at the suddenly appearing, enormous beast. This was the first time they had ever witnessed Danzo's summoning beast.
Danzo, standing atop the giant beast's head, was about to introduce his secretly trained partner when he heard Komurasaki's words, and his face darkened instantly.
"You're the pig! That's a dream beast!"
"A tapir? Whose tapir has gotten so fat and big?"
Xiao Zi wasn't angry; instead, she retorted seriously.
"You also think tapirs look like pigs?"
Danzo frowned and turned to look at Maruboshi Kosuke and the others below.
"Uh"
The Konoha ninjas, their minds filled with conflict, looked at each other, and for a moment, no one answered.
Because this spirit beast is indeed larger than a tapir, resembling a pig.
"Hmph! Dream Eater, let them see how powerful you are!"
"Snoring~!"
A deafening squeal rang out, and Danzo's face grew even more grim. He remembered that the Baku didn't used to squeal like that. Could it be that it had mutated from eating too much pig's head meat recently?
"call!"
However, although the Dream Eater's cry was somewhat comical, its strength was undeniable. With a flick of its thick nose, the terrifying suction force sent a chill down Xiao Zi and Han's spines.
"This pig is something else."
Xiao Zi looked around in surprise at the massive trees that had been uprooted. Amidst the flying sand and stones, even the giant lava club beneath his feet was swaying in the wind.
"Purple, let's finish this quickly. The teacher is waiting for our support."
Han frowned. Given their current state, it was unrealistic to expect to resolve the battle quickly. So he loudly suggested…
"Use that one."
Who's calling me?
The Fourth Raikage, who was engaged in fierce combat with the Pogan Army, turned around abruptly upon hearing this, a look of confusion on his dark face.
"A great opportunity!"
As a result, Xiu seized the opportunity and manipulated several knight puppets to launch a joint attack, forcing him to retreat repeatedly, his mouth open and eyes closed.
"Dream Eater, go!"
Sensing the sudden surge of frenzied chakra from Komurasaki and Han, Danzo's expression darkened. He immediately commanded his summoning beast to attack. The plump Baku took a step, and in an instant, the earth shook.
"Kill him!"
At Danzo's command, the Baku's sharp fangs, gleaming with a cold light, aimed straight for the little purple thing on the giant club.
"Oh!"
With a deafening crash, the giant club beneath Xiao Zi's feet collapsed, and it seemed that the opponent's tiny body was about to be swallowed up by the Dream Eater's massive form.
"Here comes Old Sun!"
With a thunderous roar, Danzo's smile froze instantly. A pair of large, thick hands shot out from the thick smoke and dust, gripping Baku's unstoppable fangs tightly.
"Tsk!"
It was still too late.
Looking at the colossal red beast that flickered in and out of the smoke and dust, Danzo's face was terribly grim.
"Snoring!"
Feeling the searing heat emanating from its fangs, the dream-eating tapir couldn't help but let out a pitiful squeal.
"Haha, what a magnificent flying pillar!"
After the little purple-tailed beast transformed, control of the body naturally returned to Sun Wukong's hands. Watching the Baku struggling in pain under his control, it laughed and commented...
"The Baku isn't a pig!"
Upon hearing this, Danzo was so enraged that veins bulged on his forehead. He immediately puffed out his mouth, and several blue wind bullets shot out instantly.
"Crack! Crack! Crack!" After a series of explosions, the Four-Tails finally noticed the tiny Danzo above the Baku's head. Its ferocious maw opened wide, and fiery lava gathered within.
"not good!"
Upon seeing this, Maruhoshi Kosuke's expression tightened. He immediately stepped forward, his hands rapidly forming hand seals, his cheeks puffing out in a rounder shape.
"Water Release: Water Severing Wave!"
"Bah—!"
A sharp water blade, no thicker than a finger, shot out, slicing through the four tailed creature's arms that were tightly gripping the Dream Eater's fangs in the blink of an eye.
"hiss!"
Feeling a sharp pain in its arm, the Four-Tails had no choice but to release its grip. Taking advantage of this opportunity, without Danzo's command, the now-free Baku immediately swung its thick neck and lashed it hard across the other's lava-filled mouth.
"puff!"
The four-tailed creature, sent flying backward, didn't even have time to check the wounds on its arms; the lava it choked on was enough to give it a hard time.
"That move just now... Kosuke, how did you learn the master's secret technique?"
Having successfully escaped danger, Danzo stared in horror at Maruboshi Kosuke who had come to his aid. He had clearly seen the Water Severing Wave; it was an S-rank Water Release technique that even the F6 hadn't learned.
"Gintoki taught me."
"Yin San San, well, that makes sense."
Upon hearing the name Uchiha Gin, Danzo's doubts vanished instantly, replaced by a puzzled expression.
Is it true that Yin San San said he compiled the Book of Seals?
"Damn it! I'm going to eat this giant flying pillar!"
The four-tailed creature, rising from the ground, wiped the lava from its mouth, opened its jaws, and spat out a broken fang. Its ferocious beast head was filled with bloodthirsty madness.
"Old Sun, don't forget our mission."
At that moment, another deep voice rang out. Danzo glanced at the elegant Five-Tails behind him, his face darkening even further.
Facing two tailed beasts at once, is it too late for him to write his will?
At the same time, Nonou, who was directing the Root members in their battle against the Tsuchikawa alliance, had a drastic change in expression.
She had finally managed to drive away the annoying Hiruko, and she had only been corrupt for a few years. If Danzo were to die now, wouldn't all the shameful things she had done be exposed to the world?
"hateful!"
Unfortunately, her strength was limited, and the main force of the Root army was also tightly tied up by the Earth and Thunder Alliance, making it impossible for her to break away and go to their aid.
Is it too late to become a rogue ninja now?
A glint flashed in Nono's eyes, and she even began to think about her way out.
"Oh!"
The massive battlefield was incredibly chaotic. The poor Dream Eater was quickly riddled with wounds under the combined attack of the two colossal beasts. One of its eyes was even gouged out by the petty Four-Tailed Beast with its giant club, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Dream Eater, go back quickly!"
Seeing the pitiful state of his summoned beast, which had been with him for many years, Danzo was heartbroken and urged it to quickly release the summon.
"Whoosh! Snort! Snort!"
But Baku seemed not to hear, stubbornly resisting the attacks of the two tailed beasts, just to give Danzo a better chance of survival.
Unfortunately, the gap between summoning beasts and tailed beasts is like an insurmountable chasm. Even the summoning beasts of the Three Sacred Lands are no match for the tailed beasts, let alone the dream beast with no background.
"You've got some backbone, so I, Old Sun, will give you a quick death."
Looking at the Dream Eater, who was blind in one eye and swaying precariously, Sun Wukong's originally ferocious face revealed a strange expression. He hadn't expected that the bond between this human and beast was no less than that between himself and Xiao Zi.
Having said that, it raised its massive lava club high, and with immense force, smashed it down on the Dream Eater's blood-soaked head.
"No!"
As the giant club, surging with lava, grew larger in his field of vision, Danzo frantically drew upon his remaining chakra, his hands moving rapidly.
"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"
"Pfft~"
However, his desperate Wind Release technique was utterly insignificant in the face of the Four-Tails' attack, and could not withstand the impending fatal blow.
"Lord Danzo!"
The Konoha ninja below closed their eyes in despair. Faced with the terrifying power of the tailed beast, all their attacks seemed so insignificant.
Just when everyone thought Danzo was doomed, Hanzo, who was tied up by Onoki and unable to go to his aid, suddenly had his electronic eyes move upwards uncontrollably, and the radar in his brain processor started alarming wildly.
[Unknown high-energy reaction detected]
[Unknown high-energy reaction detected]
That is…
Onoki, sitting opposite, seemed to sense something as well. He squinted and looked up at the gray sky, where a black dot was clearly visible amidst the endless dark clouds.
"What's that noise? Is it an earthquake?"
The ninjas who were engaged in a chaotic battle simultaneously stopped what they were doing, looking down in astonishment at the earth that had suddenly rumbled.
"Ah!"
Sniffing the increasingly dense, chilly air, King Mu frowned, his heart pounding with unease. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
The next second, the falling black dot suddenly burst into a striking red light, and its chilling aura landed precisely on the Four-Tails as it swung its staff. The unstoppable giant staff abruptly stopped less than a meter away from Danzo.
"Gaia!!!"
As the red light grew stronger, before the Four-Tails could regain control of its body, a powerful battle roar exploded in everyone's ears.
"HA!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, the entire earth trembled, as if welcoming its true master.
"Damn, why is he here?"
Onoki, familiar with this battle cry, roared angrily, his eyes fixed on the red giant descending from the sky.
"Oh!"
The red giant, falling from mid-air, struck a flying kick just before landing, slamming it into the head of the four-tailed creature, which was under the control of the Kaleidoscope Sharingan. The terrifying behemoth didn't even have time to scream before being kicked hundreds of meters away.
"Mirror, no, Godfather!"
Upon seeing the red giant so close at hand, a strange light instantly shone in Danzo's ashen eyes.
"THERE IS!"
The giant nodded to Danzo, then turned to look at the Five-Tails, who looked utterly bewildered, and assumed a powerful fighting stance.
"Damn it, how are we supposed to win this?"
King Mu glanced at the four-tailed creature with its mouth open and eyes closed, looking troubled. Even Old Sun couldn't withstand a kick from the other party. With its thin arms and legs, wouldn't it be hung up and beaten by the other party?
Just as King Mu was considering whether to use his prized speed to escape, a violent aura suddenly erupted from the Tu Lei allied forces behind him.
"Don't panic! I'm coming!"
Immediately afterwards, a massive bull rose up from the ground, its eight wet tentacles slamming onto the earth, causing a commotion like an earthquake.
"Lao Niu, why didn't you come out sooner?"
The Four-Tails wobbled to its feet, spitting out a handful of broken teeth. Looking at the Eight-Tails, who seemed to have descended from the heavens like a divine warrior, it questioned him through its gaping maw.
"I thought the two of you could handle it, but who knew you'd drag it out for so long."
Eight-Tails stretched its stiff muscles, its eyes fixed warily on the red giant, whose size was comparable to its own.
"HA!"
Even when facing three tailed beasts, the red giant showed no fear. Instead, he adopted his signature starting stance, and the aura he exuded actually overwhelmed the terrifying tailed beasts.
In mid-air, Onoki seemed to have his soul drained away; for the first time, a look of dejection appeared on his once battle-ready face.
"Lord Hanzo, what do you think of the rule that surrendering means losing half the stakes?" (End of Chapter)
