Multiverse Skill System

Yi Shuihan looked at Danzo with amusement.

"I have already mastered your moves. Now it's your turn to try my boxing style. I hope you can last a few more moves."

Rao spoke slowly, his aura beginning to subside, like a ferocious beast poised to pounce.

Realizing what he was about to face, Danzo began forming hand seals without hesitation.

The Sharingan secret technique Izanagi has begun to take effect.

With the temporary invincibility buff, Danzo's expression softened considerably.

Unlike Kotoamatsukami, which required ten years to use after each use and therefore did not attempt to use it, Danzo Izanagi had used it before and was quite confident in its effectiveness.

"Your death star has actually hidden itself?"

Rao's expression was somewhat strange. He could see Danzo's Death Star before, and in his mind, Danzo was someone who could be killed. But now he found that he couldn't see Danzo's Death Star at all, which meant that his next attack might be in vain.

"Opportunity! Wind Release: Vacuum Ball"

Danzo opened and closed his mouth, spitting out dozens of transparent air bullets. After releasing the ninjutsu, he quickly retreated while his hands began to form hand seals again.

"Psychicism!"

With a loud bang, a colossal creature appeared on the scene—the legendary dream-eating beast, the Baku, capable of opening its mouth wide and using wind magic to blow objects in front of it and devour them.

Without Danzo speaking, Baku opened his enormous mouth and began to suck.

Before the Dream Eater, the soil and fragments of corpses were sucked in first, and then further away, trees were uprooted and even stones on the ground began to float into the air.

Rao was naturally affected as well. He suddenly rooted himself to the ground and looked at the suction force, but was still slowly pulled closer.

"Although Rao is strong, he lacks ranged attacks and mobility skills!"

Yi Shuihan commented on the battle without the slightest worry, not believing that a summoned beast could change anything.

When Rao was still nearly 10 meters away from the Baku, he suddenly gave up resisting and used the suction to jump.

As the body accelerated through the air, it began to move.

His entire being seemed to transform into an ethereal blade, exuding an aura of danger.

Rao didn't enter the Baku's stomach but passed right by it. The next breath, the Baku suddenly turned into white mist and disappeared with a bang, clearly severely injured.

"【Big Dipper Void Slash】"

Rao spoke softly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. This kind of behemoth didn't exist in his original world, and Rao felt a certain sense of accomplishment to have fought against it and won.

While Rao was showing off, Danzo, who didn't know where he got a sword, charged straight at him, fighting a life-or-death battle.

Rao was unaware that Danzo had a buff and thought that Danzo was trying to force him to retreat.

How can this be allowed? As a boxing champion, it would be utterly incompetent of Rao to back down like this.

In short, we have to do it.

He simply abandoned most of his defense and began to show off his boxing skills.

"【Beidou Hundred-Crack Fist】"

Danzo's sword was still 1 meter away from Raoh when he suddenly died.

They then reappeared at a closer location and launched another attack.

"【Beidou Hundred-Crack Kick】"

The man and his sword were kicked to pieces, and Danzo was forced to rewind time again.

The third attack was even more cunning.

"【Beidou Repentance Fist】"

Danzo returned empty-handed once again.

The fourth time, the fifth time...

This scene of Rao repeatedly killing Danzo with various boxing techniques lasted for nearly twenty minutes. Although each time was thrilling, Rao was not harmed in the slightest.

"Is this ever going to end? I'm about to fall asleep if it doesn't stop soon."

Yi Shuihan stared speechlessly at the two people who seemed to be acting. Although their movements were quite impressive, their expressions and the cheap special effects made Yi Shuihan want to complain.

Danzo kept attacking like this because he didn't want anyone to know his true strength. Even when he was being beaten to a pulp, he remained expressionless. But what's with Rao? He's just showing off his fighting skills in fancy ways. He uses different fighting techniques every time he kills someone. What's going on?

In short, Yi Shuihan is a bit annoyed. It's fine to show off himself, and it's fine to watch others show off occasionally, but it's not okay to keep watching others show off.

"Rao, are you sure you can handle it? If not, let me take over. I guarantee I'll finish him off in one move and won't give Danzo a chance to revive."

Chapter 422, No need to send the banner.

Yi Shuihan's voice was quite loud, and Rao, who was preparing his move, was startled and reacted a beat slower. It was Danzo who touched his clothes for the first time.

But that's all. With a simple skill, he sent Danzo back to base for free again.

"It seems I can't continue with you. Originally, having such an unkillable opponent like you was a good thing, as I could practice my skills without having to worry about killing you. But now that he's spoken up, I have no choice but to give him face. Next time will be your death day."

As Rao spoke, he seemed to become more ethereal, instantly causing Danzo, who had originally intended to continue fighting him, to abruptly stop in his tracks.

At this point, Danzo only had two Sharingan eyes left that hadn't been deactivated, and the buff duration was running out.

“Sarutobi, just watch. He killed my Root members, and now he wants to kill me. I have every reason to believe that they are here specifically to weaken Konoha’s strength. If he dares to kill me today, Konoha might not even exist tomorrow.”

Having failed to harm Raoh even slightly after so many attempts, Danzo lost confidence and called for reinforcements, believing that the Third Hokage wouldn't let him die there.

And that was indeed the case. When the Third Hokage heard Danzo's admission of weakness, he immediately said, "Although Danzo was in the wrong first, you have already killed so many people. How about we leave it at that?"

When Danzo heard the Third Hokage's final verdict, saying that he was in the wrong first, he cursed the old fox in his heart. He hadn't even paid attention to Rao and the others at first, and it was you who told him the first news about them.

The Third Hokage thought that Raoh would stop now that he had spoken up. After all, although Danzo had tried to kill them, he hadn't failed in the end. Raoh had only managed to kill a few members of the Root organization. If it weren't for the value of the small technique that Yi Shuihan possessed, the Third Hokage might have joined forces with Danzo and called up a large group of his henchmen to forcibly keep Raoh and Yi Shuihan.

The idea of ​​the third generation is just wishful thinking. It's not that Yi Shuihan and Rao can't understand his thoughts, but understanding doesn't mean that they have to do things the way you want!

At least Rao never took the Third Hokage seriously from the beginning. Hokage? What's that? Can you eat him?

Rao only values ​​strength, and since Yi Shuihan didn't speak, Rao naturally wouldn't pay attention to someone he didn't even consider.

"If this move doesn't kill you, I'll let you go."

Rao's eyes suddenly shone brightly, like dazzling stars.

And in Rao's exclusive gaze, the previously hidden ominous star finally reappeared.

Danzo felt a chill run through him from head to toe, freezing his body and even his thoughts. Then he saw Rao slowly extend a finger and point at him in a strange posture.

Even though it was very slow, Danzo wanted to react but couldn't move no matter what he did, as if his body had lost control.

"What are those? Such beautiful stars!"

Out of the corner of Danzo's eye, he saw an extremely bright star, and then, as if divinely inspired, he understood the name of the star.

Death Star!

So this is the Death Star? It's really beautiful!

At that moment, Danzo had no idea that he was fighting Rao, and that he would be killed if he didn't make a move.

in reality,

Rao's fingers had already pressed on Danzo's special pressure points, and his fighting spirit instantly destroyed all of Danzo's internal organs.

"what!"

Danzo, who was suddenly awakened, screamed in pain. The hand that had transplanted the First Hokage's cells suddenly changed, turning into tree branches, which continued to erode his body, trying to transform him into a complete tree.

The cells, which had never been fully integrated, finally erupted at this moment, taking advantage of Danzo's weakness, and the backlash began.

In his agony, Danzo didn't even have time to cut off his arm; he transformed into a large tree, taking deep root in the earth.

In his final moments before death, Danzo wondered why Izanagi hadn't worked, and felt a pang of regret for not using his ultimate trump card, the Reverse Four Symbols Seal, to perish together with his enemy.

As for the truth behind why Izanagi was ineffective, it's because when Rao attacked, he entered the state of Musou Tensei, in which he directly ignored the effects of Izanagi.

Illusion and reality are both fleeting under the formless rebirth; in that state, both illusion and reality can be attacked at will.

"You actually killed him?"

The Third Hokage stared blankly at the tree that Danzo had transformed into, a silent rage erupting within him.

"You are the leaf, and I am the root. The leaf basks in the sunlight, but it also needs the root to draw nutrients in order to grow strong. We are inseparable from the root, and the root is inseparable from the leaf."

"No matter what you think, I'm protecting Konoha in my own way."

"..."

The scenes he had shared with Danzo echoed in the Third Hokage's mind, and at that moment he realized just how deep his feelings for Danzo were.

Rao ignored the Third Generation and came to Yi Shuihan's side without saying a word. Yi Shuihan saw some small beads of sweat on his forehead and immediately understood that Rao had also expended some energy in that last move.

"No matter what, you should not kill Danzo. Although many people may not like his character, he was genuinely doing that for the sake of Konoha's development; he was just a bit extreme."

The Third Hokage looked at Yi Shuihan with a serious expression, his eyes still flashing with cold light. Danzo's death had aroused his killing intent.

Yi Shuihan was also taken aback by the Third Hokage's words. It seemed that as long as it was for the good of Konoha, all sins could be forgiven!

This idea is so distorted!

"This has absolutely nothing to do with us. He sent people to kill us, and we killed him instead. It's that simple. In fact, I think it's a great thing for Konoha that someone like him is dead. I believe many people will applaud. There's no need to thank us. We're not Lei Feng; we do good deeds anonymously. You don't need to send us any banners or anything."

The third generation was stunned by the forceful and domineering words, who was so self-righteous.

Chapter 423, The Script is Wrong

Without giving the third generation a chance to speak, Yi Shuihan muttered that he was going back to eat and then swaggered away with Rao.

The script wasn't supposed to go this way, was it?

In the eyes of the third generation, as long as he showed the slightest interest, Yi Shuihan would definitely come to apologize and ask for his forgiveness. He would then take the opportunity to get the little tricks that Yi Shuihan had, get the benefits first, and then talk about other things.

Shouldn't they be the ones in the wrong now? Why do I feel like I'm the one in the wrong?

The third generation is completely confused and has no idea what to do next.

If words don't work, do we have to use force?

The thought only crossed his mind briefly before he gave up. What if the other party disregarded his status and tried to kill him? If he died, he would have no one to turn to for justice.

The Third Hokage was confident in his own strength, but he didn't think he was harder to kill than Danzo. Raoh had killed Danzo in various ways right in front of him. If Danzo had been replaced by him, his fate might have been even more miserable, and he might not have lasted as long as Danzo.

Because of Danzo's death, he had murderous intent, but he did not lose his mind. If he really made a move now, not only would his previous actions be in vain, but if he died, he would have made two great enemies for Konoha, and Konoha's future would be in question.

It's not that the Third Generation was too cowardly, but that Raoh's power was too great. Have you ever seen a force that wiped out Root in less than an hour?

He's this strong by himself. If he were to lie in wait and fire one shot at a time, he could even bring down the entire Hidden Leaf Village.

Konoha really can't find anyone who can deal with Rao right now. Even if he risks his life to use the forbidden technique Reaper Death Seal, it's still uncertain whether it will work. And even if it does work, there's still the even more mysterious Yi Shuihan here.

After much deliberation, the Third Generation ultimately decided against a confrontation, and with a gloomy face, quietly watched Yi Shuihan and Rao leave.

Kakashi remained silent. He didn't feel anything about Danzo's death; in fact, he was somewhat pleased. After all, Danzo had tried to kill him many times before, and if he hadn't been lucky, he would have died long ago. Moreover, he had heard that Danzo was also involved in his father's past.

Kakashi had always wanted to kill Danzo, but as a member of Konoha, for various reasons, he could only bury this thought and even hypnotize himself not to think about it.

Now that Rao has done something he himself dared not do, Kakashi harbors no resentment towards Rao.

Of course, Kakashi understood the Third Hokage's feelings at this moment. Yi Shuihan and Raoh were indeed too arrogant, and such people were too dangerous. Moreover, the aftermath of Danzo's death was also worth paying attention to.

The demise of Root and the death of Danzo are not simple matters. It is believed that once this news spreads, many forces from the Land of Fire will emerge, taking advantage of the weakened state of Konoha to try and grab a share.

Konoha appears to be powerful, occupying the most fertile land in the entire ninja world. But precisely because of this, if Konoha's power diminishes, some evil spirits will inevitably emerge.

It might even cause a war? Kakashi felt a chill run down his spine when he thought of the worst possible consequences.

"Kakashi, don't reveal the news of Danzo's death for now. We'll deal with it after the Chunin Exams."

The Third Hokage needs to buy some time to figure out how to fill the power gap left by Danzo and the disappearance of Root.

Kakashi naturally nodded in agreement; he wouldn't have spoken up even if the Third Hokage hadn't mentioned it.

Afterwards, groups of ANBU members arrived late, like police officers who had finished their work, allowing the Third Hokage to continue issuing orders.

The Anbu have actually been here for quite some time now. After all, the matter has escalated to such a great extent that it would be unworthy of the Anbu name if they didn't react. Their previous absence was due to information suppression, and they only remained hidden because the Third Hokage hadn't given them any orders.

"I didn't know that Danzo was dead, yet the Chunin Exams could still be held without any peace and quiet."

I swaggered down the street, listening to the people around me discussing who had shouted that phrase earlier and what had happened.

Seeing the villagers discussing excitedly, showing no concern for Danzo whatsoever, Yi Shuihan thought that Danzo was so ignorant of the people's hearts that his dream of becoming Hokage was simply wishful thinking.

If Yi Shuihan had been dealing with the Third Generation Elder before, the villagers might already be filled with worry and praying for the Third Generation Elder.
