Reborn into Naruto World with Tenseigan
chapter-664

Danzo’s sudden actions made Homusubi confused, initially, she thought that Danzo had recovered back his senses, but now that she sees him again, she is not so sure…

As far as she knows, Danzo is a veteran Shinobi who would never show the unease and nervousness of a greenhorn, yet there were clear signs of unease, nervousness, and anxiousness on his face that only a novice would show, and this made Homusubi frowned.

After some thinking and observation, Homusubi felt that rather than recovering his senses, Danzo, as a person has completely changed… It’s as if, even if his outer body is still the same until a while ago, the soul inside his body is not the same, it is completely different.

Tsukihi muttered, “Is he trying to put up an act in order to deceive me? Or is something really wrong with his soul?”

Watching Danzo escape, Homusubi hesitated…

Homusubi wants to take away the pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan in Danzo’s eyes sockets… so, in her eyes, Danzo is nothing more than prey. But she doesn’t want to forget that the same situation applies to her, in Danzo’s eyes, she too is prey!

If Homusubi manages to get Danzo’s Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and obtain the Rinnegan, it would just be an extra ace up her sleeve, however, if Danzo manages to take away her Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan and awaken the Rinnegan, then that will be much bigger trouble for not only her but for everyone living in the Shinobi World… Knowing this, Homusubi obviously can’t take a risk and will have to be extremely careful… Hence the hesitation.

If it is exactly as she thought, then perhaps she will be able to take away that pair of Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan with quite an ease, but if not, and if Danzo manages to pull up a reverse UNO, then the situation will take a bad turn for everyone.

“What to do?”

By the time Homusubi recovered from her thoughts, Danzo had already escaped from the cave.

Seeing that Danzo is no longer in sight, Homusubi regretted a little being too lost in thought, she then looked around and saw that Orochimaru is also not present where his body lay until a while ago, she muttered, “No surprises there, Orochimaru is still alive…”

Knowing full well that the longer she stays inside this volcano, the more dangerous her situation will become, she also dashed out of the cave…

…

Outside the Volcano.

Watching the hundreds of meters tall volcano exploding and collapsing, the one-eyed silvered-haired shinobi showed a despairing expression.

In the face of such a level of disaster, Kakashi feels powerless…

And what’s worse is that he has felt this sense of powerlessness over and over again in his life without being able to do anything about it at all!

Back when his father committed Suicide; when his friend and squad mate Obito died; when his other friend and squad mate Rin died, and when his sensei sacrificed himself, all those times, Kakashi felt helpless.

Whenever he remembers those painful memories, Kakashi regrets, and wonders, ‘If only…’

And now that over a thousand Konoha Shinobi are about to die here, in front of his very eyes, Kakashi feels the same powerlessness, even if he wants to do something to save them, he doesn’t know how to save over a thousand shinobi in such a short period of time.

Even if he has gotten much stronger compared to those times, even if has become much more resourceful compared to those times, right now, at this very moment, he still feels the same powerlessness he felt back then and doesn’t seem to have a way to save the lives of people in front of him.

As he was struggling to figure out a solution, Kakashi looked around and saw despair in the eyes of all the Konoha Shinobi.

The only good thing about the current situation is that no Root Shinobi is present around to stop him or hinder him from doing anything.

Seeing the disaster coming towards them, all the Root shinobi who were fighting him and stopping him up until now have escaped without giving a shit about what happened to all the Konoha Shinobi still present at the foot of the volcano.

For those Root Shinobi, if all these Konoha shinobi were to die, then it is not necessarily a bad thing as the inhuman actions performed by them will get buried here along with these fifteen hundred men.

As for whether their wishes will be granted or not is all up to Kakashi.

In fact, if he has to save just himself, then Kakashi is not worried; all he has to do is teleport away, and he will be safe…

But Kakashi can’t bring himself to abandon them… His father, his sensei, heck, he himself will never be able to forgive him if he were to abandon them…

And so, he hardened his heart, “I must save them… and I can do so with the help of Flying Raijin if I become as quick as Sensei… If sensei can do it… Then so can I… I… I… just need to have faith in myself!”

With such words, Kakashi suppressed the despair in his heart and inspired himself. With a resolute expression, he weaved the hand signs and… Poof… created five Shadow Clones…

After that, he threw dozens of Kunai marked with the Flying Raijin seal and threw them on the battlefield in an array…

With the preparation made, Kakashi ordered all his Shadow Clones one simple task, “Bring them all to near the markers, and I will teleport them…”

The five Shadow Clones nodded, and with that, the figure of the original Kakashi turned into images.

Woosh… Woosh… Woosh… Woosh… Woosh…

The Chakra Transmission Array that sealed the movements of Konoha Shinobi flickered constantly, and each time it flickered, a Konoha Shinobi was teleported far away…

…

On the other side.

While Kakashi was trying to put his all and save the lives of Konoha Shinobi, a figure jumped out of the volcano and collapsed on the ground not far away.

The area he fell at conveniently happened to be surrounded by several masked shinobis who were part of the Root.

The Root shinobis saw the man, and exclaimed in worry and excitement, “Hokage-sama!”

That’s right, this man is none other than the very same ‘Hokage-sama!’

However, the ‘Hokage-sama’ didn’t act according to what the Root Shinobi expected of him, their leader, ‘Hokage-sama’ or better yet ‘Shimura Danzo’ looked uneasy and immediately used Swift Release and Crystal Release Justus to slaughter the leader of the unit, and after doing that, he didn’t even waste a second before he rushed out and disappeared into the dark.

The remaining ones were taken aback by the actions of their ‘Hokage-sama!’, they stopped all their movements and looked at each other in shock and fright as an unexpected silence dawned upon them.

As this event occurred, a snake slid out of the hole in a tree not far away and looked in the direction where Danzo disappeared with a doubtful expression. The snake here was unable to understand the reason why Danzo killed his own man and ran away… this made no sense…

While giving it some thought, the snake used Body Flicker Jutsu and followed after him.

Earlier, he was knocked unconscious inside the volcano, but was able to regain consciousness soon enough. Even after he recovered, he didn’t act recklessly knowing full well that he might die.

But of course, he wouldn’t let Danzo escape so easily as Danzo has what Orochimaru wants, therefore, when Danzo escaped, Orochimaru closely followed and is going to do the very same thing right now in the hopes that he might get his opportunity soon enough.

But the fate be damned…

Not long after Danzo escaped the Volcano, he ran into the Kumogakure shinobis who were being led toward the Volcano by the Raikage.

Looking at the familiar yet not-so-familiar face of Shimura Danzo, Raikage frowned, however, he didn’t forget to shout at the man, “Where is my shinobi, Danzo?!”

Looking at the Kumogakure shinobis surrounding him, Danzo panicked, and with a quick flash, he tried to escape.

Whoosh…

Zizizi… Zizi… Zi

But unlucky for Danzo, Raikage was faster and landed his fist on the face of the ‘old man’.

Bang… sound echoed.

Raikage himself fell back for he didn’t expect Danzo’s speed to be so fast…

But he is Raikage after all, so he was able to get up soon enough and angrily shouted at him, “Damn you Danzo… did you use the same Jutsu on yourself?”

Danzo did not answer Raikage’s question, instead, he slowly got up from the ground, and while wiping the blood coming from his nose, he said to Raikage, “I don’t want to kill anyone… don’t force me!”

Raikage had his answer and thinking of that boy… thinking of the boy’s family, to whom Raikage will have to answer, Raikage grew furious, the nerves on his temple twitched, and he shouted, “A scum like you cannot be allowed to live!”
