Yoshi smiled lightly and said, "Asuma now is time for you to perish!"
'Blazing Adamantine Sealing Chains!'
Kurenai Yuhi looked shocked as many orange flaming chains suddenly sprung up from Yoshi's back,
Rushing straight towards Asuma, who was himself currently fiercely running towards Yoshi's and Hiruzen's position!
But, Asuma didn't change his current expression after seeing this,
When those burning chains were about to connect to him, he suddenly disappeared, repeating the same movement over and over again next, in a couple of seconds quickly.
A man danced alone in the most important building of his village, surrounded by a sea of flames, in hopes of rescuing his old father. That was all that was on his mind right now. His whole brain went blank the second he saw his father's current bad state.
Seeing Asuma managing to close the distance, between them, effectively once again, Yoshi thought intriguingly all of sudden, 'He's really fast! Was he always this fast in the original as well, or is it simply another butterfly effect caused by me, yet again?'
After a few more intense moments, Asuma surprisingly managed to get close to him, unscathed, "Die, you traitor!!"
Once he was about a meter and a half of distance from Yoshi, Asuma suddenly shot all of sudden.
"Great range!" Yoshi exclaimed loudly, not expecting Asuma's range of attack to bet that long,
Asuma's small twin chakra blades, coated in sharp wind chakra, clearly had a range of motion multiple times longer than in the original!
'This matchup is extremely bad for me!' Yoshi thought all of a sudden while preparing to respond.
Due to various different variables, attacking him close-range, using a chakra enhanced long-distance weapons, was his currently biggest weakness,
He also didn't manage to prepare any precarious traps this time around because of the previous ambush situation with Hiruzen,
Furthermore, he honestly wasn't expecting Asuma to be this capable at all!
'But having the ability to damage me, doesn't mean that you are faster than me!'
There are many factors you need to possess in order to successfully defeat Yoshi now,
'Wind Body Flicker Jutsu!' Yoshi suddenly vanished from his previous position, surprisingly leaving Hiruzen behind, while rapidly summoning all of his chakra chains backward to him.
Hiruzen looked surprised as to why exactly would Yoshi leave him behind at present, suddenly opening his eyes wide and yelling at the same time, "No, Asuma, don't touch me now!"
But it was already too late, his entire right arm was already on his son's shoulders, who swiftly attempted to move him back to safety near Kurenai, at the moment.
Yoshi suddenly grinned viciously in the distance,
Asuma abruptly stopped his movements, two meters away from Kurenai.
"No! It's all over for us now!" Hiruzen shouted helplessly all of a sudden, still carried on by his son.
'Just why didn't I realize before that it was a spreading type of movement curse!!?'
The fuinjutsu marks Yoshi branded him with, this time, were color-free and subtle,
Meaning that it was hard to decipher anything about them,
It would take some time to even register it as a fuinjutsu and not something else!
Asuma looked staggered as he suddenly felt a strong heaviness and stiffness all over his body, mostly in his muscles, "W-What's happening to my body!?"
"It looks like it will be more efficient to kill you both at the same time then!"
Yoshi suddenly grinned confidently form the distance and said, already slowly walking towards them with his hands inside his pockets confidently.
But, all of sudden, a gust of wind passed in front of Asuma's and Hiruzen's presently stiff bodies, and Kurenai Yuhi appeared in front of them resolutely.
"I'll not allow you to do that, Yoshi Uzumaki!"
She had long black untamed hair reaching her upper back and very unique eyes that are red in color, with an additional ring in them.
She wore make-up consisting of red lipstick and purple eye shadow. Her outfit consisted of a red mesh armor blouse with only the right sleeve visible.
"Then, I'll kill you all at the same time!"
Yoshi suddenly exclaimed seriously. He felt a bit of surprising empathy at the moment. Not for that old crook Hiruzen, but for Asuma and Kurenai, more precisely, for their current relationship.
He suddenly thought of how exactly he would feel if someone killed Anko right in front of his eyes,
And, vice versa, how exactly would Anko feel if someone killed himself right in front of her eyes!
The only three people that could make him sympathetic, emotional, and compassionate, in this life, were Anko, Kakashi, and Sakumo!
Admitting it or not, he loved Anko the most in this life!
Kurenai who was oblivious to his thoughts suddenly held her slender hands up, attempting to cast some kind of technique, 'Demonic Illusion: Tree Binding Death!'
The target of this jutsu experiences the illusion of a tree coiling around them, preventing them from moving further, bringing the user of this just an opportunity to finish their target efficiently!
But, before that happened, Yoshi decided to carry out his previous statement, summoning his chains from his back again and speedily attacking,
Despite the genjutsu currently attempting to influence his brain, he effectively sensed the true positions of all of his three targets already, showing the uselessness of using genjutsu against him.
Asuma, Kurenai, and Hiruzen, all opened their eyes wide in shock before closing them down promptly for one last time!
They were all pierced by his quick chains, at the same time, straight true their vital spots!
Yoshi just sighed lightly and slowly came towards Hiruzen's and Asuma's body.
"I somewhat know that you truly had no choice left at that time..."
"But, you had to go!" Yoshi stated seriously, all of a sudden, in succession while looking at Hiruzen's slain body laying on the ground motionlessly, still in his son's embrace.
"I don't blame anyone, in fact!"
"I can only blame the Uzumaki clan for being too weak and naive before!"
"And, that's why I'll show the world the second side of my Uzumaki clan after today!"
Yoshi sighed once again, before summoning up two special clones suddenly, "You two will follow me outside the barrier secretly now and go and kill Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane!"
"It looks like Takumi is in a very precarious situation now, so I'll need to go over and help him!"
As he was speaking that, Yoshi already directed two of his chakra chains towards them, transferring them a twenty percent of his remaining chakra each,
He wanted to remain sure that those two hateful people die today at any cost!
Furthermore, he already summoned twenty different explosive clones beside him, wanting to use them as an adequate distraction for the surrounding Konoha shinobi next!
.
"Takumi, you devil, you'll pay someday for this..."
One Hyuga main branch elder shouted weakly from the ground all of sudden,
His whole body was ridden with bullets-like bloody wounds,
This room was spacious and elegant, but it was now all stained with blood and severed body parts alongside various other human remains.
"Oh? There is one piece of trash still alive?" Takumi suddenly turned to his direction coldly.
The elder who spoke to him this time was the last living person of the Hyuga clan's main branch!
He previously killed all the rest already!
"Then, die!" He suddenly lunged his right hand forward, and an invisible force immediately struck,
Mincing the elder to death already in the next instant, crimson blood staining the wooden walls of this hiding room once again, "Ah, I feel so fulfilled right now!"
But, he turned a little more somber after taking a look at the situation outside with his Byakugan,
He quickly took a strong step forward, lunging himself towards the south direction of this village.
Crashing through the various Hyuga compound walls and rooms unfazed next, he attempted to escape now and draw Danzo and his Root forces outside the Konoha's perimeters, into the nearby forest, as he already planned together with Yoshi before.
'My Sage Mode will also shut down soon!'
Outside the large compound, many shadowy figures could be seen tightly encircling it in a formation, and gradually moving forwards on the orders of one man,
He wasn't wearing a mask as they all did and there was a scar on his chin present. His face was crude and his hair somewhat spiky,
His Root's hidden base was peculiarly placed extremely near the Hyuga clan's compound,
So he couldn't' help but come and take a look at the situation first after noticing the unusual movements there, after all, the Hyuga clan is currently a very big asset to their village!
Soon a masked man came near him and reported a situation swiftly, "Lord Danzo, a person has left the compound, running towards the south now. He's apparently extremely fast as well!"
'A person? The Hyuga clan...? Is it...?'
"Some of you remain here to take a look at the situation inside, everyone else is going after him, with me, now!"
Danzo suddenly ordered seriously, already taking a quick step forward towards the south.
.
Inside the sea of viridescent trees outside the Konohagakure,
After coming here, Takumi suddenly stopped and turned around instead.
"My Sage Mode will soon run out completely!"
"I should confront them now instead of running, and wait for Yoshi here!"
And soon hundreds of different shadowy figures encircled him from all sides, hidden in towering lush trees, "Takumi, it's really you!"
A stern-looking figure suddenly appeared right in front of him swiftly and stated coldly.
Takumi was formerly his full-fledged Root subordinate, later becoming a secret link between himself and Orochimaru.
"Danzo, let's cut the bullshit here, I already massacred the entire Hyuga main branch!"
"Takumi... I always knew that there was something more in your mind..."
Danzo furrowed his brows badly and continued, "I really shouldn't have accepted you back then, albeit your talent was truly too good!"
Danzo was the one who opened the doors of strength to Takumi before. It was because of him that he later managed to become a personal disciple of Orochimaru as well.
He always proactively recruited talents for his organization and Takumi gladly agreed back then.
Danzo suddenly held his hand up a little, signaling his scattered subordinates to attack him to test his strength for a bit first.
Seeing them rushing towards him now, Takumi smiled satisfied, 'That's what I wanted! To hurt you all as much as possible while my Sage Mode still lasts!'
"Sage Art: Giant Rotation!"
And, before the group came even remotely close to Takumi, they were all fiercely blown away by a sudden large bluish swirling rotating force.
Danzo suddenly opened his eyes wide, astonished by Takumi's previous strong and flashy move.
.
In the middle of a great forest, towering trees, large rocks, and masked people were all flying around rapidly, as if they were hit by a sudden tornado.
After doing the same move, over and over again, Takumi suddenly stopped,
Exerting his eyes and looking into the distance thereafter, he smiled, "Just at the right time!"
His eyes started slowly returning to normal once again, the previous yellow and green colors gradually disappearing.
Danzo suddenly thought in realization after seeing this, 'His chakra aura feels considerably smaller right now. It seems that the time to capture him finally came!'
"His strange mode finally expired! All of you, attack him now freely, at the same time!" He shouted promptly. However, he really wasn't in a good mood right now,
Half of his subordinates were already dead!
He truly couldn't wait to capture and torture Takumi next!
Root members present grew ecstatic after hearing that, they were ready to bring an end to Takumi the next instant!
But, just as they all thought that they finally got to motionless Takumi, they were waken free all of sudden and tossed back fiercely once again!
But this time, by large yellow chains, instead!
Yoshi already arrived on the scene, all from the great distance ahead, thanks to the large chains he used to launch himself forward with just a moment ago!
They all looked in shock the man who now landed next to Takumi!
He was pretty tall and had swaying red hair, also surprisingly carrying a half-masked injured man on himself, "Danzo, is this little 'rat', yours?"
Danzo turned extremely shocked. That was his currently strongest subordinate, codenamed Rat, also the current acting Anbu commander of the whole Konoha.
"He just wouldn't' stop following me here, so I had to stop and 'step' on him for a bit!"
"Fortunately, you came on time, Yoshi!" Takumi smiled gratefully and said first.
"Of course, Takumi! You're free to go now, I'll deal with this mob!" Yoshi smiled and stated confidently while looking at the shocked group of masked people nearby. Only Danzo could really present him with any difficulty out of the whole group ahead of him.
"Alright Yoshi, see you later then, and thanks again for this!" Takumi exclaimed gratefully and already rushed ahead promptly, not wanting to hinder Yoshi thereafter.
"After I've undone the seal, you're to do the following things..." Danzo suddenly started speaking while removing the white cloth and showing the strange golden binding on his right hand.
A set of three golden braces were used to seal and hide his peculiar right arm,
The arm which was implanted with ten different Sharingan and was enhanced with Hashirama Senju's DNA even further!
"One-third of you, go and follow the Hyuga kid! One-third of you are to rush straight towards the village center and check the situation there. And the last third goes towards our base and guards it now with your lives on the line!"
After seeing Yoshi's unexpected presence in front of him, Danzo already realized that the Hyuga clan wouldn't be the only goal this time! So he solemnly gave the previous orders immediately!
And he was right, Yoshi devised this whole plan and the follow-ups precisely knowing that this would happen and that Danzo would chase after Takumi,
After all, he long knew that the Root's main base was located right beside Hyuga's clan compound!
As for the reason why it was placed specifically there, Yoshi could only speculate,
However, it was most likely that Hiruzen wanted to periodically check on Danzo's activities in that way, thanks to the Hyuga clan which was extremely loyal to himself, reporting everything interesting they saw there with their Byakugan eye radars,
Hiruzen obviously wasn't a fool to let Danzo do whatever he wanted unsupervised!
The masked people slowly dispersed away, and Danzo and Yoshi were soon left alone in the place.
The wind blew by and Danzo suddenly exclaimed seriously, "Yoshi Uzumaki, you're the biggest nuisance of my life!"
"Prepare to give back the Nine-Tails!"
The solid arm bindings fell onto the ground with a banging sound and Danzo suddenly moved his hands upwards, "Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets!"
He suddenly took a deep breath and exhaled several small blasts of wind chakra that scattered in different directions, making it very difficult for one to avoid without any injury.
"I'm glad you think of me that way, Danzo!" Yoshi smiled lightly and replied to Danzo's previous statement first, 'Wind Release: Body Flicker Jutsu!'
He easily dodged the upcoming air projectiles and even swiftly reappeared straight behind Danzo,
Holding a small sharp kunai, he instantly beheaded him from behind decisively.
His head rolled on the ground, Yoshi was precise in his slash!
But, Yoshi already knew that it was not over yet, 'Izanagi!'
He thought that while another wind attack surprisingly came his way expeditiously.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!"
But, this one was much more potent and larger than the previous one!
'Adamantine Chains - Cocoon!'
As the name of this particular move implies, the Adamantine Sealing Chains are used as a strong chakra shield by enveloping the user protectively.
Seeing his attack failing again, Danzo on the nearby cliff thought worriedly, 'It will be hard getting any advantage with Izanagi against such an adept and fast sensory ninja such as Yoshi...'
With a normal genjutsu, a user will apply an illusion to a target's senses, causing the target to experience things that are not real,
With Izanagi, the user applies an illusion to reality itself, giving the user control over what is and is not real for as long as Izanagi is active,
Users typically do this in order to protect themselves, negating any injuries they receive or even their deaths!
"I should summon Baku to hold him for a while and run back to the village!"
"Summoning Jutsu: Baku!"
The Baku is his own personal summon. It was a gigantic elephantine chimera. It was predominantly dark-orange in color with the exception of its trunk, legs, and the markings around its eyes,
After it was summoned, it immediately roared dominantly, already occupying a large portion of this pretty vast forest!
Seeing this large monster, Yoshi didn't panic in the slightest!
Even though he was facing Danzo with just half of his remaining chakra reserves, he was confident!
He even jumped straight towards it using his favorite wind movement jutsu!
'I'll just drain you beast out of chakra and replenish my reserves on the way!'
Yoshi smiled lightly as his clan's favorite ability already sprung up from his back towards Baku! 'Adamantine Sealing Chains!'
'Oh no! He has a way to deal with that as well!' Danzo thought gravely all of sudden, he saw that Yoshi was truly a very complete and a strong shinobi just now!
'I mustn't let those chains envelop Baku, or else he'll rush straight for me after he finishes him off quickly!' "Wind Release: Vacuum Bomb!"
This is a stronger version of the Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere, where the user instead chooses to compress the entirety of the previously inhaled breath into a single large, crushing sphere of wind chakra that they then proceed to expel from their mouth.
The large wind bomb suddenly rushed from the top of Baku towards the upcoming Yoshi's yellow chakra chains, effectively blowing them away when it connected.
'Hmh, I'll do it again and again then! Until you lose all of your chakra!'
'Even though you have the Hashirama's cells infused arm, me using my chains take less than you continuously firing that large blast of wind!'
. . .
And just as he previously predicted, after a dozen more unsuccessfully attempts, he eventually managed to entrap large Baku and drain away all its ample chakra, forcing it to disappear in a literal cloud of smoke thereafter.
Danzo attempted to escape immediately, but Yoshi quickly followed him behind, forcing him to gradually use up all of his remaining Sharingan eyes to keep his life with Izanagi,
But, as soon as he used the Izanagi and then reappeared somewhere else again, Yoshi easily sensed his position promptly and caught up to him, forcing him to use it all over again,
They've done it numerous times before Danzo used up all his right arm's Sharingan completely!
After that, it was a piece of cake to kill Danzo!
Looking up at the headless and bit mutilated corpse down bellow, cold dead on the ground, Yoshi sighed hard again,
This was the man because whom he had to be extremely low key and spineless-like for the last seventeen years of his life in Konoha!
"Now is your turn to shine next, Kakashi and uncle Sakumo!"
"I could go to Otogakure right now and trade with Orochimaru!"
Yoshi suddenly thought meaningfully after sealing Danzo's torn body inside his special collection.
