100 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"Yin-Yang Release: Dark Life Bestowal Technique."

The countless trees surrounding Training Ground No. 3 instantly withered, their leaves turning a sickly yellow. Birds and insects perched on the branches fell lifelessly to the ground. The technique's reach even extended to the nearby Forest of Death. Fortunately, there were no other people in the vicinity…

Danzo could clearly feel his life force being drained by this jutsu. However, when he activated his Yang Release chakra, he ...

099 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"As expected... troublesome."

Obito, his body phasing into intangibility, watched as Danzo once again passed right through him, effortlessly evading his attack.

His seemingly invincible Kamui intangibility was being completely countered.

"Zetsu..."

From Obito's side, a large mass of white matter emerged, slowly condensing into a humanoid upper body. It looked as if it had grown directly out of Obito himself.

At the same time, his hands swiftly formed seals.

098 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

At the outskirts of Konoha, near Training Ground 3 in the Forest of Death—this was where Danzo had once taught Namikaze Minato the Rasengan.

"Old man, why aren't you running anymore?" Space twisted slightly as White Zetsu emerged with an exaggerated grin.

"I want to see if I can kill you…" Danzo murmured, unlocking the seal on his right eye.

There was no avoiding this battle. It was clear they were very interested in him.

"So this old man has a Sharingan too? Now I...

097 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"Earth Release: Rock Pillar Spears"

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Cut."

"Earth Release: Earth Flow Wall." "..."

A series of Earth Release techniques erupted in the center of Konoha, forming an enclosed area on all sides.

It was as if a grand fortress, spanning hundreds of meters in length and width, had suddenly risen in the middle of the otherwise flat village.

Above the sealed area, the burning Seven-Tails was plummeting rapidly—

"Boom..."

Like a fal...

096 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Pakura leaped into the air, narrowly dodging an attack, and grabbed Shisui by the collar at the back of his neck.

Landing on the rooftop, she lifted the unconscious Uchiha Shisui and examined his motionless face.

"What happened? A backlash from a genjutsu?"

Nearby, Jiraiya's gaze was fixed on the Seven-Tails' eyes, his expression one of shock. A memory flashed through his mind.

"Nagato..." he murmured.

"ROAR!"

The Seven-Tails let out a thunderous roar, unle...

095 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"Ah... ah...!"

"Almost there... I can see the hair already!" The medical-nin assisting with the delivery cheered in excitement.

Inside the cave, agonized screams echoed—not only from the pain of childbirth but also from the loosening of the seal. The Nine-Tails' chakra was continuously corroding Uzumaki Kushina's body.

She had to divide her focus, using chakra to shield the baby from the Nine-Tails' invasive energy. If not for the Uzumaki clan's resilience, an ordinary per...

094 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Time flew by, and days passed like a fleeting moment.

Kushina Uzumaki's due date had arrived.

A day earlier, she had already been moved to a secluded cave behind the Hokage Rock to await childbirth, with Minato by her side.

Outside, multiple layers of sealing barriers had been set up—nothing, not even a mosquito, could get through.

...

"The moon is so full tonight. That's got to be a good omen. If it's a boy, they'll probably use the name I suggested..."

093 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

At the entrance of the Root headquarters, the massive stone bridge spanning the abyss had been fully restored.

Aside from a few battle scars on the surrounding rock walls, no one would have known that a Kage-level battle had taken place here.

Tap. Tap. Tap...

A curvaceous figure walked alone across the bridge.

"That irritating presence... Even from this distance, I can still sense it."

A wave of searing heat rolled forward as Pakura slowly emerged from t...

092 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

The howling wind carried a sky full of yellow sand, adding a touch of desolation to Sunagakure.

Inside the relatively grand Kazekage Building, a heated argument was taking place.

"What's going on with the Twin Oasis? Even the daimyo has sent me a letter about it..." Granny Chiyo asked Kazekage Rasa with visible irritation.

"Just some rogue ninja. I've already sent forces to deal with it. It'll be resolved soon." Compared to Chiyo's frustration, Rasa remained calm and compose...

091 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Compared to the peace and prosperity of Konoha, the Land of Fire was in turmoil.

As policies were gradually implemented, Danzo personally stepped in to guide the process.

After all, the nobles had been indulging in luxury for centuries—some of their habits needed correction.

Danzo offloaded all Root's administrative responsibilities in Konoha onto Yakushi Nono.

Meanwhile, Aburame Ryoma oversaw affairs in the Land of Rivers, eliminating any need for concern.

Roo...

182 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Third Mizukage, neither the Hatake clan nor Konohagakure have any grudges against you. Why are you interfering in this matter?"

"Hmph, just a mere abandoned pawn. Why should I bother explaining myself to you?"

The Third Mizukage's arrogant and dismissive words made Hatake Sakumo frown deeply. Gripping his blade tightly, he took a light step forward. Just as he was about to launch forward like an arrow leaving the bowstring, his wrist was firmly grabbed by another hand.

Besi...

181 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

In the dense forest of the Land of the Moon, a group of Kumogakure shinobi draped in black cloaks slowly advanced through the thicket. They soon came face-to-face with Sakumo Hatake, who shifted his gaze to the man leading the group—a member of the Yotsuki Clan from Kumogakure, named Yotsuki Akira. He was the key figure in today's negotiation with Sakumo.

"Yotsuki Akira, hand over what I asked for. It's crucial to me," Sakumo said, his tone steady but serious.

Yotsuki Akira's li...

180 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

In the Land of Dragons, inside a dimly lit laboratory—

"You bastards brought me here for this? This is humiliating! If Lord Jashin saw me in this state, he'd be furious... Hey! Kakuzu, you could at least say something!"

Hidan had been strapped to the experimental table for seven days and nights. His body was connected to multiple Earth Grudge Fear threads and electrical wires, constantly sending shocks through his nervous system. The transmission d...

179 Naruto: Reborn as Kakuzu

"Sāra, thank you so much." Kakuzu turned to Sāra with a rare smile, his gaze shifting from the steady flow of water beneath the Ryūmyaku.

Sāra brushed a lock of hair behind her ear and smiled back. "Kakuzu, no need to be polite. We have plenty of Ryūmyaku in our country. Feel free to take what you need. And Hidan, you help yourself too," she added, glancing at the man standing nearby.

With the defeat of Mukade, Sāra's rule as queen had been solidified. Despite Kakuzu's simpl...

146 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Danzō was prepared to use Izanagi—there was no way he could block the Shun-Goku Shadow Assassination Formation. Under such an attack, death was inevitable.

Even with the power of the Sharingan and Senju Hashirama's cells, he couldn't withstand this technique.

In his mind, Danzō calculated his odds: even if he fought with all his strength, he could only fend off six shadow clones at most. The remaining clones would inevitably land fatal blows.

To survive this level of ass...

145 Naruto: Starting with Infinite Chakra

Danzo was blasted back by Jiraiya's ninjutsu, and the air suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The Root ninja, in particular, widened their eyes, blinking in disbelief. They couldn't fathom how Danzo, wielding Wood Release, had been so easily injured by Jiraiya.

Some of them even began to suspect that Danzo's Wood Release was an illusion rather than the real deal. Though they'd never seen true Wood Release, the ancient texts were clear on its overwhelming power.

What Danzo had...

287 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Traveled from the future?!"

Upon hearing Mirai's words, Namikaze Minato, Aburame Shibi, and Akimichi Chōza all looked utterly stunned.

They had considered countless possibilities, but never did they expect Mirai to give such an explanation.

Time travel?

Was this some kind of joke?

Akimichi Chōza glared at him. "Are you messing with us? Do you think we're complete idiots?"

"If you're going to lie, at least come up with something believable!"

Uchiha ...

286 Naruto: Stealing Attributes

"Sara, move forward a little. Look at how enthusiastic your people are."

Hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Sara's face.

The sight before her helped her momentarily step out of the sorrow caused by her mother's passing.

She never expected her people to love her so much.

If that was the case…

Then she had to become an excellent queen, just like her mother.

With that thought in mind, Sara took a few more steps forward.

Suddenly, the windowsill be...

090 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Root dispatched numerous ninja squads under the guise of the Fire Nation Enforcement Corps, carrying out the Fire Daimyō's decrees across the country.

With this, the power of shinobi was formally injected into the conflict between commoners and nobles.

The result was simple—those who complied thrived, those who resisted perished.

With power far surpassing that of ordinary people and the backing of the Fire Daimyō's orders, every location they reached saw nobles being arr...

089 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

As time passed, Konoha, as the victorious nation, solidified its dominance with an assertive stance.

Iwagakure had no choice but to agree to Konoha's numerous unequal demands.

Konoha secured extensive economic reparations, sovereignty over the Land of Grass, and a military alliance where Konoha held the dominant position.

It wasn't that Onoki was willing to concede, but rather that the situation left him with no other choice.

Originally, an alliance with Kumogakure mig...

088 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

In the dimly lit cave, a pitcher plant slowly emerged from the wall.

As it opened, Zetsu, his face divided into black and white halves, peeked out, observing Uchiha Obito, who was meditating.

"Your teacher is truly capable. The Kumogakure and Iwagakure forces have both failed, and the trash from the Land of Fire has been dealt with as well."

"He's merely being guided by someone. If he were truly that powerful, back then..." Obito slowly opened his eyes, a flicker of gloom an...

087 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Land of Grass, inside the main command tent of Uchiha Fugaku.

"News arrived last night—Iwagakure have begun retreating in batches. However, the Tsuchikage has not left. I plan to launch a full assault and take him down."

Fugaku's gaze burned with intensity as he looked at those present.

The results Danzo achieved against the Land of Lightning had deeply affected him.

"Let them witness Konoha's true might..."

"Isn't that too risky? The Four-Tails Jinchūriki is ...

086 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

In a forest ten kilometers from the battlefield, Killer B, clad in a red Tailed Beast Cloak, moved swiftly through the trees in his half-Tailed Beast form.

"Yeah… That old man… is really tough. Big bro got beaten down, Eight-Tails fell asleep, but this great me… I'm the clever B, the quick-witted Eight-Tails…"

After rapping, he pulled out his notebook and seriously jotted down his latest inspiration.

"B, where are you going? The camp is in the other direction…" Rai...

085 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"Damn bug…"

Danzo charged up the length of the wooden dragon, only to be met by two massive tentacles swinging toward him.

Smash! Splinters flew as the wooden dragon absorbed the brunt of the attack.

Danzo dodged the double strike with ease, increasing his chakra output. The wooden dragon's coils tightened further.

Creaaak… The sound of crushing wood sent shivers down the spine.

"Roll!" Killer B shouted.

At his command, the Eight-Tails' enormous body ro...

084 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

Killer B, in his half-tailed beast state, had his octopus tentacles tightly wrapped around the Raikage, wielding several sharp blades as he deftly fended off the ambush from the ANBU.

"Big bro looks real bad… Guess I gotta be the hero and save the day! Yo, yo!"

He rapped continuously, occasionally throwing in strange dance moves and hand gestures, clearly in a good mood.

"Idiot! Bastard! Who told you to sneak out?!" shouted the Raikage, still ensnared by the suction cups o...

083 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"They… actually captured the Raikage." Ikawa Kamimi's face was filled with shock and disbelief.

Though she already knew Danzo was Kage-level, she hadn't expected him to be this powerful. After all, the Raikage was the leader of an entire village.

"Danzo-sama once defeated the Kazekage. Now it's our turn to move."

Seeing Kumogakure's forces starting to charge, Hyuga Zensuke waved a single hand.

The Konoha ninja formed small squads, skillfully avoiding Danzo's battlefi...

082 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

"He actually dodged it?"

The Raikage's guards were stunned.

They knew exactly how devastating this move was. It had been developed specifically to counter Namikaze Minato's speed—designed to settle old scores. The technique was meant to strike and kill him either before he could activate the Flying Thunder God Technique or immediately after its use.

Even Killer B, the Jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails, couldn't dodge it unprepared. And Raikage still hadn't fully mastered it y...

081 Naruto: The Hidden Danzo

As expected, the Kumogakure forces were fully prepared.

"The one at the center, up front…" Hyuga Zensuke was the first to notice, pointing out the enemy with the strongest chakra.

"I see him." Danzo nodded grimly, leading the group as they faced off against their Raikage.

It didn't even take Byakugan—everyone present could immediately identify the Raikage's position.

At the same time, Danzo felt the faint lock of an enemy's gaze.

Raikage A erupted with an int...
