Chapter 63: Konoha’s Dancing Volcanic Bombs!
The massive Summoned Beast ‘Baku’ had just appeared when it whipped up a howling gale that swept outward in all directions.
The gale swept through the flying sand and stones, and even the six Root Ninjas in front of Danzo had trouble standing steady.
Baku raised its head, looking at the colliding lava dragon head and Water Release Ninjutsu in the air.
It opened its huge mouth toward the sky, and an even fiercer hurricane quickly brewed in its mouth, forming a massive translucent wind orb about twenty meters in diameter that was visible to the naked eye.
The wind orb shot out from its mouth, instantly shattering the lava dragon head and the six Water Dragon Bullet Techniques! The swirling wind waves swept through like a typhoon, bending trees within a radius of several hundred meters, and even trees a kilometer away were blown with leaves flying everywhere.
Danzo had already leaped onto Baku’s head, his clothes flapping wildly in the wind waves, but he still stood steadily on top.
His face was expressionless as he formed hand seals with both hands and took a deep breath.
“Wind Release…”
Baku opened its mouth again, sucking a massive amount of air into its belly.
“Wind Scythe Technique!!!”
At almost the same moment, Danzo and Baku spat out Wind Release Ninjutsu toward the front. Two translucent wind blades, one large and one small, instantly tore through the air and sped toward Uchiha Ikeizumi!
The ground beneath their feet was lightly grazed by the edges of the wind blades, instantly carving two deep trenches!
“If I can’t seal part of your body, then I’ll shatter your entire body and seal all of you inside. I refuse to believe you can emerge unscathed in this situation!”
Killing intent swirled in Danzo’s eyes.
He believed Uchiha Ikeizumi’s Lava Release had its limits.
After all, how could a person become an immortal monster just because of some so-called Lava Release Bloodline Limit?
The six Root Ninjas also decisively attacked.
Wind Release, Water Release, Earth Release… all sorts of ninjutsu that the Root Ninjas believed could probably suppress Lava Release came rushing at Uchiha Ikeizumi all at once.
…
“Baku… Danzo…” Sarutobi Hiruzen, racing toward the source of the commotion, had a face as dark as it could get.
Summoning such a dangerous Summoned Beast inside the village.
Did that guy Danzo even have any regard for him as Hokage? Did he have any regard for innocent lives?
“Inoichi, what exactly is going on?”
As Sarutobi Hiruzen hurried along, he asked Yamanaka Inoichi, who was racing beside him.
Yamanaka Inoichi said bitterly, “Hokage, I don’t know what grudge Lord Danzo and Ikeizumi have. The two of them just happened to run into each other outside our Yamanaka Clan Headquarters. Before I could react, they had already come into Conflict.”
Sarutobi Hiruzen suddenly felt a headache coming on.
…
Inside the Uchiha Clan Compound, Fugaku stared at the distant scene.
“Baku…”
“Lava…”
He realized Ikeizumi and Danzo had likely come into armed Conflict again.
Last time, Ikeizumi had killed two Root Ninjas and exposed secrets about Sharingan on Shimura Danzo’s body, making Fugaku extremely repulsed and wary of this high-ranking Konoha official.
After all, he was a Konoha high-ranking official who coveted the Sharingan immensely.
He had even transplanted one Sharingan after another onto himself without the Uchiha Clan’s permission, from sources unknown.
When he heard footsteps approaching from beside him, Fugaku didn’t need to turn around to know his wife had come.
He asked, “Sasuke still hasn’t woken up?”
Uchiha Mikoto shook her head. “That child is still in a coma.”
Fugaku took a deep breath and made a Decision. “You stay home and take care of him. I’ll go over there and see what’s happening.”
…
In the sight of the three-tomoe Sharingan in Uchiha Ikeizumi’s eyes, the trajectories of the two incoming Wind Scythe Techniques, one large and one small, were all captured perfectly.
He twisted his body at an extremely tricky angle to dodge the Wind Scythe Technique. The translucent wind blade passed within less than ten centimeters of his body.
As the astonishingly powerful Wind Release Ninjutsu swept past, ripples rose on the surface of his lava-flowing skin.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!
Meanwhile, the Yamanaka Clan Headquarters behind Uchiha Ikeizumi was forcibly split into three pieces by the two wind blades!
Numerous buildings were affected and destroyed.
“Lava Release…”
“Great Eruption.”
Facing the ninjutsu of those six Root Ninjas, lava surged and expanded wildly on Uchiha Ikeizumi’s right arm. When he punched forward, his right arm had transformed into an exaggerated, terrifying lava giant fist!
All the ninjutsu seemed like mere clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of this lava giant fist.
The fierce impact force, like a volcanic eruption, shattered all the ninjutsu!
The splashing lava turned into numerous astonishingly powerful Volcanic Bombs!
They seemed aimless but subtly headed toward the six Root Ninjas, Danzo and Baku, and the two Giant Turtle Summoned Beasts!
One Giant Turtle Summoned Beast couldn’t dodge in time.
It was struck on the turtle shell by a Volcanic Bomb over a meter in diameter.
It hadn’t been particularly concerned at first, thinking its turtle shell, which could defend against many ordinary ninjutsu, could block the Volcanic Bomb. But the next second, the Giant Turtle’s eyes suddenly widened.
Boom!!!
The Volcanic Bomb instantly pierced the thick turtle shell, the scorching lava melting the shell and burrowing viciously into the flesh. Most of its internal organs were cooked by the lava in an instant.
The intense pain assaulted the Giant Turtle’s consciousness, so even when it finally thought to dodge the Volcanic Bomb, it was too late.
Boom!!!
A Volcanic Bomb accurately hit its head.
The Giant Turtle Summoned Beast didn’t even have time to hum before a huge gash appeared on its head!
Its thick limbs instantly lost all strength.
It collapsed powerless to the ground.
Seeing this, the second Giant Turtle Summoned Beast hurriedly spewed a large water column from its mouth, trying to block the Volcanic Bombs falling toward it.
But it was still struck on the tail by a Volcanic Bomb, the entire tail erased and vaporized by the extreme heat, not even leaving bones.
The intense pain made it scream nonstop. A puff of white smoke rose, and the last Giant Turtle Summoned Beast unilaterally dispelled the Summoning Technique and chose to flee!
Uchiha Ikeizumi’s scarlet gaze swept over and met the eyes of a Root Ninja whose mask hid a shocked expression.
“…Oh no!”
The Root Ninja’s heart jolted, his pupils contracting sharply. He quickly formed seals, trying to dispel a possible Sharingan Illusion Technique.
But at that moment, he looked up to see Volcanic Bombs raining down from the sky. He couldn’t tell which were real and which were fake.
He didn’t even know which direction to dodge.
Boom!!!
A Volcanic Bomb landed about three meters behind him.
The ground shattered, sending a huge rock flying that smashed heavily into the back of his head. The splattering drops of scorching lava liquid drilled into his body like shotgun pellets.
The Root Ninja’s body trembled and shook nonstop before he pitched forward stiffly onto the ground.
His body now had over a dozen visible scorched holes.
Wisps of flames still flickered around the edges of the holes.
The remaining Root Ninjas could only use whatever means they had—either clashing their signature ninjutsu against the terrifying Volcanic Bombs falling from the sky or hastily jumping onto nearby civilian houses.
—Because they noticed that although these Volcanic Bombs didn’t deliberately avoid civilian homes, most of them landed in relatively open areas.
Even so.
One Root Ninja still couldn’t dodge and was directly engulfed by a Volcanic Bomb.
Dead without an intact corpse!
