Chapter 370: One Step Ahead of You

"He's gotten stronger again..." "Indeed, I can't let my guard down for a second against you!!"

A deep voice sounded as Danzo, using Izanagi, once again materialized behind Yu and quickly formed hand seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum..."

Sensing Danzo's presence behind him and noticing the Wind Release hand seals, Yu smirked disdainfully. His overwhelming Taijutsu exploded in an instant!

Color of Arms: Dragon Fang!!

The roar of the evil dragon shattered the dark underground world, leaving all the surrounding Ninjas wide-eyed in horror.

Yu turned and delivered a fierce kick, creating a roaring dragon-shaped Air Cannon that was covered in black Armament Haki. The sheer, unmatched power instantly turned Danzo into a mist of blood!

Casting Ninjutsu requires hand seals, and at such close range, it's generally hard for Ninjutsu to match the speed of Taijutsu, especially against a Taijutsu master like Yu.

"Still nineteen left..." 

"Counting Shisui's eyes, you have a total of nineteen Sharingan left on your body."

After the Dragon Fang covered in Armament Haki obliterated Danzo into a mist of blood, Yu walked leisurely through the encirclement of countless Root Ninjas. 

"Uchiha Clan Ninjas can maintain Izanagi for three minutes, but your limit is sixty seconds..."

"One Sharingan buys you sixty seconds, so you have less than twenty minutes left to live in this world..."

As Danzo reappeared before him, Yu coldly declared his sentence, "Breathe in deeply the last air you'll ever inhale in this world, Danzo."

Yu had vowed to make Danzo, who had killed Nono, experience all the suffering in the world before he met a tragic end. Therefore, today must be the day to make that vow a reality.

"Ha, hahahaha... You want to kill me?!"

Confronted by Yu's murderous intent that seemed to solidify the air, and sensing the terrifying power Yu now possessed, Danzo, having successfully used Izanagi to turn his death into a dream once again, let out a series of deep, mocking laughs.

"So what about your companions and the children in the orphanage? With just one command from me, the Root Ninjas will act immediately. I doubt even you can guarantee their safety at all times, can you? Are you really willing to betray Nono's dying request?!"

"Hahahahahaha!!"

As Danzo finished his threatening words, Yu let out a burst of incredibly mocking laughter, echoing through the dark underground world with a piercing quality.

"What are you laughing at?!"

Seeing Yu, who had completely gone beyond Danzo's control, a strong sense of unease surged within Danzo.

"I'm laughing because you really can't change your spots..."

"Still trying to use Urushi and the others' lives to threaten me? Fortunately, I was already prepared..."

As his laughter faded, Yu looked at Danzo with the gaze one would reserve for a poor fool. "Since Danzo-sama is so eager to see them, then let them come out and greet him. Urushi, Mai, Momoka..."

Snap!!

With Yu's crisp snap of his fingers, a transparent, invisible portal to another dimension opened behind him, revealing Urushi and a group of orphans right in front of Danzo and the Root Ninjas.

"Is this damn old man the one who killed the headmistress?!"

A voice filled with hatred echoed as Urushi, now in Kaio's dimension, saw Danzo guarded by countless Root Ninjas. His eyes were filled with such rage that he seemed ready to tear Danzo apart.

Indeed, before coming here to kill Danzo, Yu's first action was to place Urushi and the others in Kaio's dimension to prevent Danzo from using such despicable tactics.

"Yu, you must kill this guy and avenge the headmistress!!"

Meanwhile, Mai and Momoka, now grown-up girls standing beside Urushi, shared a fierce desire to see Danzo's flesh and bones torn apart, letting out their pent-up rage.

"Wh...who are these people?!"

Though Danzo had never seen Urushi and the others, he knew their identities well. His previously sinister expression collapsed entirely. "Hmph, so you had already placed them in the Space-Time dimension before coming here. It seems you were fully prepared for today..."

"So you don't need to struggle anymore..."

"From the moment you orchestrated Nono's death, your fate was already sealed."

As the portal to Kaio's dimension quietly closed, Yu's gaze toward Danzo was calm, as if looking at a corpse. "Last time, I spared your life to let you crawl out of hell..."

"Just so you could witness your hopes being crushed and realize that despair is the most painful torture in this world."

Wailing Chidori!!

As Yu spoke, the mournful cries of countless birds filled the dark underground world. A storm of furious black lightning erupted in front of Yu's hand, and then Yu turned into a streak of light, instantly turning all the Ninjas protecting Danzo into dust!

"Damn it... Stop him!!"

Seeing Yu's strategic brilliance completely expose his plans, Danzo clenched his pale hands tightly as he faced the figure racing toward him at the speed of light, having just slaughtered a group of Ninjas.

"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!!"

"Water Release: Water Wall!!"

Being elite Root Ninjas, the masked Ninjas in front of Danzo quickly formed hand seals and unleashed several powerful defensive Ninjutsu to protect themselves and Danzo, after seeing their comrades fall to Yu's attacks in an instant.

"Do you think these scraps can block my path?!"

Observing the high-level defensive Ninjutsu rapidly rising from the ground, Yu's lips curled into a deep sneer.

Without slowing his pace, Yu's black Chidori pierced through all the Ninjas and Ninjutsu before him as if cutting through tofu.

Boom!!

Endless black lightning spread through the void, sending all the surrounding Ninjas flying violently from the terrifying power. Yu's hand, crackling with black electricity, directly pierced through Danzo's chest, lifting him up into the air!

"Do you have any more tricks up your sleeve? I'm quite looking forward to it, Danzo..."

The dark Chidori electricity shattered every cell in Danzo's body. Seeing Danzo once again killed by him and unable to resist, Yu's face was filled with a cheerful smile.

Most of the advanced defensive Ninjutsu used by these Root Ninjas were C-rank or B-rank, which were two or three levels below his ultra-S-rank Lightning Release Ninjutsu, Wailing Chidori. They were simply unable to block or delay this death-dealing strike from the underworld.
