Nawaki retreated to Shin’s side, not rashly attacking Danzō again.

“Shin, what’s going on with Danzō?”

Nawaki was confused. He had clearly pierced Danzō’s real body, not a substitution or shadow clone. Why had Danzō suddenly appeared behind him?

“Izanagi—one of the ultimate Dōjutsu of the Uchiha Clan. It can turn the user’s injuries, including death, into a dream.”

Shin didn’t hesitate to explain to Nawaki.

“That powerful? But how did Danzō get the Uchiha Clan’s Dōjutsu?” Nawaki was even more bewildered.

“It’s simple. Just transplant a Sharingan. A three-tomoe Sharingan is enough to use Izanagi.”

Shin looked at Nawaki as if he were an idiot. Can’t you even guess that? You’re really too dumb…

“And he can use Wood Release because he transplanted Hashirama’s cells—” Shin added, resolving Nawaki’s earlier confusion about Danzō’s Wood Release.

“WHAT???”

Nawaki’s anger surged. It seemed he had another reason to kill Danzō. This time, Danzō had to die.

“How do you break Izanagi?” Nawaki asked Shin.

Turning injuries and even death into a dream?? That was too broken. With that ability, it seemed impossible to harm the user.

Without breaking this technique, killing Danzō was impossible.

“It’s simple. Though Izanagi is powerful, it costs one Sharingan eye to use, and each use lasts at most sixty seconds.”

Shin told Nawaki all this information, lest Nawaki fall into a trap.

Actually, Izanagi didn’t always last only sixty seconds. Obito Uchiha, for example, could maintain it for three minutes.

But Danzō’s chakra was insufficient; he could only maintain it for sixty seconds.

“Shin Uzumaki!”

Danzō glared at Shin with fury. Shin had revealed all his secrets. Even if he defeated Nawaki this time, he wouldn’t have a place in Konoha anymore.

Transplanting Hashirama’s cells and the Sharingan was a scandal!

The Konoha ninja wouldn’t tolerate it. Transplanting the Sharingan might be acceptable, but Danzō had touched Hashirama’s cells. This was a grave offense.

“<Kotoamatsukami!>”

The furious Danzō removed the bandage from his right eye and used Kotoamatsukami on Shin.

Danzō’s right eye was Shisui Uchiha’s Mangekyō Sharingan. Its ocular power was formidable, not comparable to an average Sharingan.

“You think that’ll work on me??”

Shin sneered dismissively. But since Danzō dared to attack him, Shin wouldn’t let him off.

His ocular power materialized into a tangible impact, directly shattering Danzō’s Mangekyō Sharingan. A bloody line appeared on Danzō’s right arm, and the arm fell to the ground.

No one saw how Shin attacked. Danzō’s Sharingan and right arm were both destroyed. The wound on his right arm looked as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.

It was cut by a sharp blade. Shin had used his invisible repulsive force to form a blade and sever Danzō’s arm.

With his right arm, which had Hashirama’s cells and Sharingan, severed, and his Mangekyō Sharingan destroyed, Danzō’s means were mostly crippled.

“Impossible! I used Izanagi! How could you hurt me?! Why didn’t Izanagi work?!”

Danzō roared like a mad dog.

“Heh, why should I answer that question for you?”

Shin chuckled coldly.

“Weren’t you supposed to not interfere and let me deal with Danzō?” Nawaki looked at Shin with frustration.

“He attacked me. And when did I promise you that? I don’t recall,” Shin asked, looking at Nawaki with feigned confusion.

“I guess you didn’t.”

Nawaki scratched his head awkwardly, then quickly said, “Let me deal with Danzō now. I want to kill him with my own hands.”

Nawaki clenched his fists.

Transplanting his grandfather’s cells—this was desecrating his grandfather’s body. Nawaki would never forgive Danzō.

“Whatever. I’m not interested in fighting him anyway.” Shin said calmly. If Danzō hadn’t attacked him, Shin wouldn’t have bothered with him.

Cold sweat dripped from Danzō’s forehead. He wanted to pick up his severed arm from the ground, but before he could touch it, it was engulfed in black, inextinguishable flames.

This black, inextinguishable flame was, of course, the Amaterasu black flames.

“Since I’ve already cut it off, don’t even think about getting it back,” Shin said with a cold smile.

“Damn you, Shin Uzumaki! I’ll kill you!” Danzō roared, his remaining left eye bloodshot, as if it would pop out.

“Hahaha! That’s the funniest joke I’ve heard.”

Shin laughed heartily. ‘In this pathetic state, you’re still talking about killing me? I don’t know where Danzō gets the confidence to say such things.’

———

“Danzō, your opponent is me.” Nawaki rushed towards Danzō with a kunai, lest Danzō continue to court death.

If he truly angered Shin and was killed by him, Nawaki wouldn’t be able to get his revenge personally. So, Nawaki interrupted Danzō’s suicidal behavior.

Danzō couldn’t perform one-handed seals. Now that Shin had severed one of his arms, he couldn’t even use Ninjutsu.

He couldn’t summon his summoning beast either. And even if he could, it would just be another death.

Danzō possessed a summoning beast, the Baku, a legendary dream-eating beast. But it had obvious weaknesses and was easy to deal with.

Even his final, suicidal sealing jutsu, the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique, couldn’t be used now. He couldn’t form the hand seals with one arm.

“DIE!!”

After a brief struggle, Nawaki plunged a kunai into Danzō’s heart.

The so-called “Darkness of Konoha,” the man responsible for countless tragedies, was finally dead.

After killing Danzō, Nawaki let out a breath. He hadn’t expended much energy in this fight.

He’d only been slightly injured earlier because he didn’t know Danzō’s abilities. Later, Shin had crippled most of Danzō’s power, making it easy for Nawaki to kill him.

“It’s good that he’s dead. Danzō was a cancer hindering Konoha’s development.” Jiraiya looked at the dead Danzō, feeling quite happy.

When he was Hokage, Danzō had caused him no end of trouble. Jiraiya had only tolerated Danzō for the sake of the bigger picture, to avoid turmoil in Konoha.

Now that Danzō was finally dealt with, and Konoha was about to welcome a new Hokage, perhaps this was a new beginning for the village.

Jiraiya choosing Nawaki to be Hokage was also a calculated move. With Nawaki’s relationship with Shin, after Nawaki became Hokage, Konoha would be truly safe.

At least they wouldn’t have to worry about being targeted by Shin Uzumaki.

If Konoha faced a crisis in the future, they might even be able to ask Shin Uzumaki for help.

This was Jiraiya’s calculation…

From the beginning, when he asked Nawaki to be Hokage, Jiraiya had already considered all this.
