Chapter 191 - 190. Root, A Burning Flame Perishing.

Swish!

The Sage of Six Paths appeared above the beast again.

At the moment of his appearance, the familiar gravitational force came again, causing Sage of Six Paths' expression to change instantly.

This time, he felt that the pull emitted by the beast was stronger!

Without saying a word, the two White Zetsus in his hands were thrown directly at the monster's back.

Pa! Pa!

The two White Zetsus landed on the monster in an extremely unsightly position, then surprisingly climbed up and angrily looked at 'Uchiha Sasuke', who was hovering above.

Immediately afterwards, two Wood Release attacks instantly shot out of their hands and headed upwards.

As if sensing the chakra fluctuation, black smoke instantly appeared on the monster's body, enveloping the two White Zetsus and their attacks.

"This ..."

Watching two Black Zetsus bodies instantly melt, the Sage of Six Paths tore open the void and fled without saying anything.

At the moment he disappeared, below the beast's huge head snapped around. The space where the Sage of Six Paths was located actually became distorted under its gaze.

Not seeing anyone, the monster slowly looked back as before and then sniffed gently.

Roar!!!

With a loud roar, a dark tunnel instantly broke open in front of it.

If Uchiha Sasuke were here, he would surely be horrified to find that what this beast used was actually Uchiha Izumi's Eye Technique!

Roar!!

Once again, the portal in front of it continued to grow bigger.

Then, the landscape behind the spatial portal also slowly appeared—the huge wall enclosing a shinobi village, the most central location, and four massive stone faces.

It was Konoha!

It was from an eagle's eye view. The portal exit opened by the beast was just above Konoha!

...

"Someone, go see, what's going on?"

In Konoha, Root's base.

Shimura Danzō frowned at the sudden dimming lights outside and slowly spoke.

He hadn't stepped out of Konoha's Root for a long time since he was exposed in the exam space last time.

It was embarrassing.

It was also too heartbreaking.

Thinking of Tsunade's attitude of ignoring him after taking office, Shimura Danzō felt furious.

He was the darkness of Konoha, the Root of Konoha!

He shed blood, sweat, and tears for Konoha.

'In the end, is this the kind of treatment they give me?'

The Fifth Hokage and the other shinobi villages went to defeat the Land of Shinobi. Nearly all the shinobi were drawn away, but no one thought of his Root.

'Are they thinking that my Root is that bad?'

"Dan... Dan... Dan ... Danzō-sama. It's not good; it's the monster! That monster that was originally on the live broadcast!"

"What's all the panic about?"

Shimura Danzō coldly looked at the Anbu member who rushed in and put away the scroll of seals in front of him.

All the successive generations of Hokage had gone out. He was the one with the most authority in Konoha right now. Looking at the forbidden scrolls left behind by the Second Hokage was reasonable for him.

These days, he had figured it out.

The essential meaning of the Impure World Reincarnation was double suicide, and when it came to double suicide, he had the most knowledge and confidence.

Arbitrarily, he wanted to learn all the powerful forbidden arts in the scrolls.

'Then... kill them all!'

Hearing Danzō's words, the Anbu member jolted, then a cold sweat rolled down behind his mask.

"Tell me, what's going on."

Danzō didn't frown. Root members were all selected by him personally. He knew what the guy was like. Generally, it was impossible for him to be in such a panic.

Right now, there must be something wrong.

"Danzō-sama! Monster! A Monster bigger than the Kyūbi!"

"A monster that seemed to swim like a fish appeared above Konoha!"

"It's going to invade Konoha!"

The Anbu expressed his dread with all his might, and by the end, he even shouted it out.

"Invading Konoha?"

When Shimura Danzō heard that, his expression instantly changed.

In the next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot and rushed outside Root.

...

[Konohagakure is about to be destroyed.]

[Order in the shinobi world is about to be destroyed.]

[Examination on hold.]

[Opening live broadcast.]

Above the space, the pop-up system window suddenly popped up in front of Ryuji.

Before he could react, a screen suddenly appeared in front of him, not only in front of him but also in front of everyone in the exam space and the shinobi world.

This scene instantly startled everyone.

"What's that? Why is another live broadcast screen appearing?"

"A second live broadcast? What is the exam space doing?"

Seeing the changes in the exam space, everyone suddenly froze, and then began to discuss.

Even the crowd in the exam space was confused by the changes that were sticking out in the exam space at this moment.

'The answer to the third question isn't even answered yet. Why? Are you going to analyze it with a video directly?'

...

"What's going on here?"

Uchiha Madara asked Uzumaki Nagato in a whisper. His exposure to the exam space was short, and he was somewhat unclear as to what this was all about.

"I don't know."

Uzumaki Nagato shook his head. In the previous exam space, the live screen only appeared when there was a video analysis.

But now, the answer to the third question hadn't been announced yet. Why did it appear?

[Live: The destruction of the shinobi world.]

On the screen, a few big words slowly appeared, which made everyone's expression change.

Ōtsutsuki Toneri, who was also in the exam space, smiled and shook his head.

'It seems that this video is about me.'

Ōtsutsuki Toneri's light blue Tenseigan blinked. He expectantly looked at the screen where the image slowly appeared.

'Is the exam space saying this because I've already succeeded?'

'Could it be that a lot of time has passed in the shinobi world during this exam, and the Moon had already crashed into Earth?'

...

"Where is my chakra cannon??!!"

On the battlefield, at the Allied Shinobi Forces side, the roar of the Fourth Raikage rang out. It instantly resonated throughout the battlefield.

Shortly after the war between the Allied Shinobi Forces and the Land of Shinobi came to a halt, Uchiha Obito came out of nowhere.

No, not Uchiha Obito, but Black Zetsu.

It was Uchiha Obito controlled by Black Zetsu.

He summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in the center of the Allied Shinobi Forces camp.

What was even more shocking to everyone was that only one of the nine eyes of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path was closed.

This meant that this Demonic Statue had gathered eight Tailed Beasts!

As long as the Hachibi was collected, it would be fully revived!

"Raikage, what are you doing?"

A blow was repelled by the giant tentacles of the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, and Senju Tsunade's figure appeared next to the Fourth Raikage.

The Fourth Raikage turned his head, facing Senju Tsunade, who was looking at him fiercely.

Naruto and Senju Hashirama were up there; she couldn't let the other party mess things up!

"Yes, Raikage, the exam space might be manipulated, so don't mess around with it yet."

Ōnoki's figure also appeared beside the Fourth Raikage and gently advised.

Hearing Ōnoki's words, the Fourth Raikage's face sank once again.

Although that image was only short-lived, it quickly became one with other screens of the exam space, but the man did appear above the exam space.

It was only a moment, but that was clearly above the exam space.

"Besides, I think it's not that simple."

Ōnoki squinted at the screen where the picture slowly appeared, then said, "Black Zetsu summoned the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path in order to find the Hachibi's Jinchūriki."

"Uchiha Obito has already gotten the Rinnegan, and Black Zetsu clearly wants to transform Obito into a Six Paths."

"And now Ōtsutsuki Kaguya is on the moon ..."

Ōnoki said. His expression suddenly changed, and he looked at the new screen where the image had appeared in horror.

"What's that?"

On the screen, a giant whale-like monster was slowly popping its head out above Konoha.

Just half of the head was already thousands of meters big! It was half the size of Konoha!

'That!'

'That!'

'That!'

...

"Hanabi!"

On the battlefield, Hyūga Hiashi's frightened eyes were fixed on the screen. 'Konoha is at its weakest now!'

Not to mention Kage-level powerhouses; there wasn't even an elite shinobi there!

"It's over! All over!"

A Konoha shinobi stood in a daze. He didn't know what the monster was and why it appeared above Konoha. But the problem now was that, as long as the monster landed, Konoha would surely be destroyed.

'The destruction this time would be even more thorough than the destruction Uzumaki Nagato caused in that last video!'

After all, this time, there is no one who could resurrect them.

"Damn it!"

...

"What's with this monster?"

Senju Tsunade stared at the image.

'Half of its head was already thousands of meters. If all of its body came through, wouldn't it be tens of thousands of meters?'

She really couldn't figure out how such a big creature was in the shinobi world.

'Not to mention the Tailed Beasts, even the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path couldn't compare to this monster!'

Senju Tsunade's face was pensive, but she finally spoke, "All the Kages here, I'll leave this place to you."

Then, Senju Tsunade gave an order, "Konoha shinobi! Come back to Konoha with me!"

Whoosh!

With that, Senju Tsunade instantly moved and headed towards Konoha's direction in a frenzy.

Tsunade was extremely fast, but two figures burning green steam were faster than her!

"Guy! Duy!"

Seeing the two, Senju Tsunade's face was instantly glad, and she quickly called the two to a halt.

She almost forgot these two 'soldiers'.

"Guy, let the Fourth Raikage's Flying Thunder Formation team send you back."

Hearing Tsunade's voice, the two figures came to a halt, and a long gully suddenly appeared at their feet.

"Hold on, Hokage."

The surprised voice of the Third Tsuchikage sounded. He asked Tsunade with profound meaning:

"That guy, that's Shimura Danzō, right?"

'Danzō?'

Senju Tsunade was stunned by Ōnoki's question. She then looked at the screen as if she remembered something.

At first glance, Senju Tsunade suddenly froze when he saw the scene on the screen.

She saw a figure in a black robe, standing on the tallest building, the Hokage's office.

He was looking up at the giant beast above him, whose body continued to protrude from the void, lifting up a fierce gale that made his robe fiercely flutter.

At the moment, he looked awe-inspiring.

...

"He ... he wants to fight the beast?"

"How could he be that monster's opponent? Does he have a death wish?"

"Wait, look, are those shinobi in masks are evacuating Konoha's civilians?"

"Is that Konoha's Root?"

Watching Shimura Danzō look like he was taking on the monster single-handedly and then looking behind him at those Anbu darting to evacuate Konoha residents, the shinobi crowd was stunned.

"No way. Is this still the Danzō I know? The one who stabbed Sasuke with a kunai?"

"No way, there's no way that could be that Shimura Danzō.

When Kyūbi invaded Konoha, he didn't show up, nor did he when Akatsuki invaded Konoha. Why is he showing up now?"

"But, he is Konoha's Root."

No one knew who said that last sentence. Everyone suddenly went silent.

...

"Kushina, let me go!"

Somewhere in the Land of Shinobi, the Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato stared at the screen. The Impure World Reincarnated eyes strangely turned red.

Uzumaki Kushina faintly glanced at Namikaze Minato and said nothing.

Until, a moment later, Uzumaki Kushina let out a soft sigh, shook her head, and walked away. Her hands waved, and his seals were undone.

"The Sealing Technique on Senju Tobirama, you can solve it yourself."

Seeing Uzumaki Kushina's actions, Namikaze Minato was instantly overjoyed. He was about to invite Kushina to go back with him to save Konoha, only to find that Kushina had disappeared from sight.

Namikaze Minato's eyes became dim.

With his hands forming seals, his figure instantly disappeared and reappeared, already in front of Senju Tobirama.

"Second Hokage-sama."

Namikaze Minato broke the Sealing Technique on the other person and without having to say anything at all, in the next moment, the two figures simply disappeared.

Once again, they had already appeared in Konoha.

...

Roar!

A loud sound came from above their heads, causing their expressions to change instantly.

The two people chose a direction to go, and their figures flickered away. In the next moment, the two reappeared at Shimura Danzō's sides.

"Danzō, well done."

Senju Tobirama looked at Shimura Danzō with satisfaction. This was the first time he saw Shimura Danzō after he was summoned with the Impure World Reincarnation.

Unexpectedly, over the years, the other party had grown to this point.

Supporting Konohagakure, facing this unknown beast.

Konoha, with the support of these kinds of people who carry their destiny on their backs, could grow stronger.

"The others are too slow. You guys, go save the people."

Shimura Danzō didn't look at the two people that arrived. His feelings remained unchanged.

Senju Tobirama and Namikaze Minato looked at each other, and then their figures jumped down. Their figures kept flickering. They were clearly using the Flying Thunder God Technique to save people.

"Roar!!!"

Above, as if noticing Danzō's presence, the monster let out a loud roar. Its fishy breath instantly swept Shimura Danzō away.

"Multiple Shadow Clone Technique!"

Shimura Danzō looked at the giant beast in front of him and coldly formed seals, followed by the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique seal. Instantly, three Shimura Danzōs appeared behind him.

"Wind Release! Vacuum Blade!"

"Wind Release! Vacuum Serial Waves!"

"Wind Release! Vacuum Sphere!"

"Wind Release! Vacuum Great Sphere!"

A series of four Wind Release jutsu were made. People could see him take a deep breath, and with light exhale from his mouth, a gale was instantly spat out. They shot towards the beast's head.

That's not all. Shimura Danzō was surrounded by strong winds, and the beast's fishy breath blew straight back.

"Evil beast! With me here, don't think you can run rampant in my Konoha!"

Shimura Danzō's domineering voice rang out and traveled down the live broadcast to the entire shinobi world.

...

"Does he think of himself as Konoha's Kage?"

A Kumo shinobi looked at Danzō's appearance and tutted.

Just as he was about to say something else, Shimura Danzō suddenly leaped high into the air and flew toward the mouth of the giant beast above.

"What's he doing?"

"Is he crazy? He knows that he can't beat it, so he's going to commit suicide?"

"No? Is he going to use that technique he used to seal half the bridge?"

...

Meanwhile, looking at Shimura Danzō, Senju Tobirama's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"This technique ..."

Sure enough, just when Senju Tobirama recognized the other's technique, Shimura Danzō had already shouted out the jutsu's name.

"Tandem Explosive Tags!"

In the next moment, he saw, Danzō with thousands of explosive tags that kept appearing around him, shooting into the monster's mouth.
