Chapter 131: That Disgusting Arm

Gardevoir paid no mind to the scene after sending the Root ninjas to Espeon's side. Instead, she focused back on Ryo.

Espeon could only sigh as it turned its gaze toward the Root ninjas.

At the same time, the Root ninjas slowly stood up, their eyes fixed on Espeon.

Without any words, they silently drew their short blades and flickered forward, launching an attack.

Seeing this, Espeon reacted instantly. Its eyes flashed as it activated Baby-Doll Eyes, glaring at the approaching ninjas.

The Root ninjas felt a sudden tremor in their hearts as if their strength had weakened slightly.

However, they did not dwell on it and continued their assault.

In a blink of an eye, they reached Espeon and swung their blades down.

Espeon didn't attempt to block the attack. Instead, it disappeared in an instant, using Teleport to escape.

After all, there were seven or eight of them. Even if it wanted to defend, there was no way to hold them all off.

"What?!"

The sudden disappearance of Espeon put the Root ninjas on high alert.

They were all too familiar with this ability—every Konoha shinobi was.How could they not be concerned?

"There!"

One of the ninjas spotted Espeon and furrowed his brows.

The others also turned to look.

This time, however, they refrained from acting recklessly.

But while they hesitated, Espeon made its move.

It blinked its large eyes and pouted at the ninjas.

For some reason, seeing Espeon's expression made the Root ninjas hesitate, their will to fight slightly wavering.

Then, Espeon's expression changed again—its eyes welled up with tears, and it looked at them with a pitiful expression.

At that moment, the Root ninjas trembled. A strange feeling of guilt washed over them, leaving them at a loss.

Unbeknownst to them, their expressions had changed, and Espeon's mouth curled into a mischievous smile.

Had Ryo seen this, he would have immediately recognized what was happening—Espeon was using Charm combined with Fake Tears.

A combination move that lowered the opponent's attack and defense.

But the Root ninjas were oblivious to this. They had no idea that their own bodies were changing.

"Espeon!"

Espeon's eyes flashed as it launched Quick Attack and dashed forward.

"Damn it, be careful!"

One of the Root ninjas shouted, snapping out of his daze.

But it was too late.

Before they could properly react, Espeon was already in front of one of them, ramming straight into his chest.

Boom!

The ninja was sent flying, crashing into the wall with a heavy thud.

"Damn it! Don't let it escape!"

A voice rang out as the remaining Root ninjas lunged at Espeon.

But Espeon had anticipated this. The moment they moved, it activated Teleport again.

Just as they reached it, Espeon vanished, creating distance once more.

The Root ninjas' expressions darkened as they locked onto Espeon, their eyes burning with killing intent.

They couldn't believe they were being played by a Pokémon.

Ryo, who had been observing the battle, smirked and turned to Danzo.

"Looks like your men aren't as capable as you think. Even with their numbers, they can't handle a single Espeon of similar strength."

Internally, he was quite pleased.He hadn't expected Espeon to handle the fight so well.

Facing seven or eight opponents of similar strength, it had managed to seriously injure one.

Danzo, however, was grinding his teeth in anger.

His gaze toward his subordinates was filled with pure hatred.

Useless!

"Hmph!"

Danzo let out a cold snort as he stood up."If they're useless, then I'll do it myself."

With that, he began unwrapping the bandages around his arm, revealing layers of intricate sealing marks.

He swiftly broke the seals, exposing his arm.

Ryo's eyes narrowed as he saw the Sharingan-covered limb.An eerie sense of disgust washed over him.

Back when he watched the anime, he had already found this sight unsettling.

But now, seeing it in person?

It was downright revolting.

Especially since those Sharingan eyes were still moving—looking left and right, independently of each other.

And in an erratic, unnatural manner.

It was sickening.

"What do you think? This is my proudest achievement."

Danzo admired his arm before grinning at Ryo.

"Now, let me show you just how powerful these Sharingan eyes are!"

Ryo's expression remained unreadable as he simply stood there, watching Danzo show off.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Blade!"

Danzo quickly formed hand seals and unleashed a powerful wind projectile at Ryo.

Ryo raised his arm, creating a Psychic Barrier to intercept the attack.

Boom!

A loud impact echoed as the Vacuum Blade stopped midair.

Ryo's gaze became serious.

Danzo was a scumbag, but his Wind Style techniques were undeniably powerful.

This attack was comparable to a combined assault from several elite jōnin.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves!"

Without hesitation, Danzo formed another set of hand seals and launched multiple Vacuum Blades in succession.

Boom!

The attacks clashed against Ryo's Psychic Barrier again.

This time, Ryo's feet slightly shifted back.

His expression changed to one of mild surprise.

He hadn't expected Danzo to be this strong.

At this level, Danzo was already close to breaking into the Kage-tier.

Without further thought, Ryo thrust his palm forward, dispersing Danzo's attacks before locking eyes with him.

"My turn."

The moment he finished speaking, he lifted his leg and executed a powerful whip kick.

Danzo frowned in confusion.

There was nothing in front of Ryo.So what was he kicking at?

But the next moment, he understood.

In a blink, Ryo teleported behind him.

Before he could react, Ryo's leg connected with the side of his head.

Boom!

Danzo was sent flying, crashing straight into the wall and smashing through it.

Ryo didn't stop there.

In an instant, he moved forward, closing the distance.
