016 Five Kage Summit, Shimura Danzo

In the snowy plains of the Land of Iron, Naruto and Orochimaru appeared before Danzo and his men.

Unlike their past encounter on the bridge, this time was different. Though Danzo had also fled the Five Kage Summit, Naruto used the Flying Thunder God Technique to catch up before Danzo could even leave the country.

Danzo glanced at his shoulder and thought, "He marked me earlier… He waited until I left the summit to avoid dragging in the other Kage."

Orochimaru smiled playfully. "Danzo, long time no see. How's that new arm working out for you?"

Danzo didn't reply. He dropped his cane and began unwrapping the bandage on his right arm, revealing a strange armored covering.

"Fuu, Torune buy me some time. I need to undo the seal on my right arm."

"Yes, sir!"

Fuu and Torune moved forward.

"Be careful," Danzo added. 

"Naruto took Nagato's body. He may have inherited the Rinnegan's power."

He began to unfasten the first lock on the armored sleeve.

Naruto, his face calm behind the mask, looked at the two men approaching. "I'm only here for Danzo. If you stand in my way, I won't hold back."

Aburame Torune didn't flinch. "If you want to reach Lord Danzo, you'll have to go through us first!"

Naruto sighed. "That's a shame…"

Yamanaka Fuu narrowed his eyes. The Nine Tails is key to Danzo's plans. If possible, we must capture him alive…

He formed a strange hand sign and aimed it at Naruto from a distance.

Naruto's eyes narrowed sharply. "That jutsu…"

Yamanaka Fuu muttered, "This move can't be dodged..."

——Mind Transfer Jutsu!

Buzz!

Naruto's body trembled, Fuu's spirit had entered him!

"I'll destroy your left eye," Fuu thought. 

"Mine will be damaged too, but it's a small price to pay…"

He controlled Naruto's hand, raised a kunai, and aimed it at Naruto's left eye.

Click!

But the kunai suddenly froze, stuck in place, unable to move forward.

Seconds later, Fuu's spirit was forcefully ejected. He gasped, "Failed. His will is too strong… I lost control in just three seconds!"

Aburame Torune stepped forward. "Then I'll use my jutsu."

He unbuttoned his black shirt. Dark purple insects flowed from his body as he rushed at Naruto.

Orochimaru warned, "He's the son of Aburame Shiguro. His body carries nano-sized poisonous insects without Hashirama's cells, one touch means death. Naruto-kun, be careful."

Naruto nodded. "I got it."

His left eye suddenly locked onto Torune.

——Shinra Tensei!

Boom!

"What!?" A wave of force burst out. Torune was blasted away mid-charge and slammed into the ground.

Yamanaka Fuu stared wide-eyed. "What was that just now... Rinnegan power?"

Aburame Torune struggled to stand. "Ugh... feels like all my bones are shattered. One or two more hits, and I'm done for…"

Naruto calmly took out a pair of black gloves, put one on his left hand, and raised it toward Torune.

——Universal Pull!

Whoosh!

A powerful force yanked Torune into the air toward Naruto.

Torune panicked. "Now it's gravity?!"

Crack!

Suddenly, Yamanaka Fuu stepped in and grabbed Torune's shoulder. At the same time, he tossed a chain backward, wrapping it around a nearby tree.

Snap!

The chain pulled tight, locking both of them in place.

But then dark purple began to spread from Torune's shoulder to Fuu's arm.

Torune's eyes widened. "Fuu! Let go! You'll get infected by the poison insects!"

Naruto watched quietly. The gravity around his gloved hand intensified.

Whoosh!!

Fuu couldn't hold on any longer Torune was pulled forward. Naruto grabbed his chest with his left hand and yanked.

——Ningendo!

With a flash, Torune's soul was ripped from his body. His lifeless form collapsed at Naruto's feet.

——Jigokudo!

Fwoosh!

Dark flames shaped like the King of Hell erupted and devoured Torune's body and soul then vanished.

Naruto took off the glove, tossed it aside, and looked coldly at Yamanaka Fuu.

"You want to join him?"

Yamanaka Fuu glanced back. Danzo was still calmly unbuttoning the armor on his right arm completely unfazed. The lives of his subordinates were just tools to buy time.

Fuu looked away, eyes filled with resolve. "From the moment I joined Root, my life has belonged to Lord Danzo."

Snap!

Without hesitation, he sliced off his infected arm. Bleeding freely, he ignored the pain, grabbed a sword, and charged at Naruto.

Boom!

But the repulsive force exploded again. Fuu's sword flew from his hand, and he crashed to the ground.

Crack!

A black rod pierced straight into his heart. Fuu died instantly with no pain, no sound.

Naruto let out a quiet sigh. "Even if you serve the darkness of Root... you were still a true ninja. Yamanaka Fuu. Aburame Torune. I'll remember your names."

Thanks to their sacrifice, Danzo finally finished unsealing his right arm. Ten Sharingan spun wildly across it, making the arm look eerie and unnatural.

Naruto's expression hardened. "That's Danzo's right arm… fused with the power of both Senju and Uchiha. If I remember right, it was made from Uchiha Shin's cells…"

Orochimaru nodded. "Yes. Shin's unique ability allowed him to resist rejection so his body could accept both Hashirama's cells and the Sharingan taken after the Uchiha Massacre."

Naruto clenched his fist. Even I can't hold back my anger… Sasuke must've been furious when he saw this. That's why… I'll be the one to end this. Danzo's path only leads the world to ruin.

Danzo stepped forward confidently. "Uzumaki Naruto… you've gained one of Nagato's Rinnegan and started to control its power. But against the might of Senju and Uchiha combined, you still have no chance."

Swish! Swish! Swish!

He formed three rapid hand signs and began walking straight toward Naruto.

Naruto stood firm like a mountain, his eyes sharp with fighting spirit. "Izanagi… it's coming, isn't it?"

Orochimaru backed away, giving the stage to Naruto. "Danzo holds the power of both Senju and Uchiha. Naruto has the Rinnegan. Both carry the legacy of the Six Paths… Heh, I'll enjoy watching this confrontation..."."

Danzo smirked. "I didn't get Shisui's left eye back then, but now I see it was fate. It led me here, to your Rinnegan. I won't hesitate to take it."

After Danzo got close, without any preparation, he directly reached for Naruto's left eye...
