As the ground trembled, both Minato and Shisui couldn't help but show a look of gravity on their faces.
Although they knew all these situations were within their plan, wasn't Danzo's acting just a bit too good?
The performance was just too realistic, wasn't it?
So much so that they both felt a deep sense of worry.
Fortunately, the ground shook once again the next second.
An arm composed of green chakra reached out from the ground.
Then, like a giant, it burst forth with terrifying strength.
Countless fissures spread from its fingertips, and ultimately, by sheer brute force, it tore the ground apart!
Danzo, along with Susanoo, returned to the surface!
At this moment, although Susanoo was still only half of its body, it was no longer a skeleton.
Instead, it was filled with a large amount of muscles composed of green chakra, becoming a true giant.
Danzo, located in the deep pit, couldn't stop the blood from gushing out of his eyes, and his face had turned extremely pale.
With an extremely grave expression, he shouted coldly towards Minato in the distance:
"Minato, you head to the capital first. These flies will be exterminated by me personally!"
Although the words were spoken with an air of dominance, Danzo's pale complexion made the statement far from convincing.
However, Minato still let out a sigh of relief.
Because, as agreed, when Danzo spoke these words, it meant that their plan was about to come to an end.
The purpose was to create the feeling that he was risking his life to stay behind and that his heroic days were over.
Of course, this was also to ensure that the hunters still hiding in the shadows would no longer consider Minato's presence and could attack with confidence.
"Senior Danzo is about to close the net," Minato thought.
"There must be some big fish that has already taken the bait."
To cooperate with Danzo's plan, Minato still showed a hint of hesitation on his face.
After a few seconds, he revealed a determined look and spoke with great difficulty:
"Then I leave this place to you, Elder Danzo!"
With that, Minato activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and disappeared from the spot.
Seeing this, many of the hunters around them let out a sigh of relief.
To be honest, they had initially come for Danzo.
Firstly, Danzo was already severely injured.
Secondly, Minato had the Flying Thunder God Technique and was basically impossible to kill.
So, Minato's departure was undoubtedly a great relief to them, allowing them to focus on dealing with Danzo!
Thus, the moment Minato left, hundreds, even nearly a thousand hunters launched a desperate attack on Danzo.
They had completely lost their minds.
Various weapons and ninja techniques were used indiscriminately, constantly bombarding Danzo's Susanoo.
Although they couldn't penetrate Susanoo, they could continuously weaken its strength and consume Danzo's chakra.
What they didn't know was that for this fishing expedition, Danzo had borrowed a considerable amount of chakra from the Five-Tails.
While it couldn't compare to the terrifying amount of chakra a tailed beast had, it wasn't something that could be easily depleted.
However, to show his weakness, he still voluntarily dispelled Susanoo.
Instead, he charged into the crowd with his physical body.
The tantou in his hand wildly danced among the crowd.
Sharp air currents flew like willow leaves with each swing of his blade.
Any enemy who was touched was cut in half!
At this moment, he looked very much like an aging lion king fighting a pack of hyenas!
Although the sun was setting in the west, the afterglow of the sun was still not something they could easily reach!
Thus, Danzo directly transformed into a terrifying killing machine, reaping at will among the crowd.
Even though he looked like a god of death, his gradually decaying body still made the hunters reluctant to give up.
Danzo's body was covered with more and more wounds.
These wounds were like gold coins that tempted people to take one more 'slash,' making them feel that victory was within reach time and time again.
Unfortunately, this last drop of blood seemed to be an insurmountable barrier that they could never cross.
Danzo seemed about to fall, but he never did.
At this moment, the mercenary groups that had been hiding around could no longer hold back.
One after another, famous mercenary groups like the Gravediggers joined the fray.
Their participation had an immediate effect.
Danzo was immediately blown away several times, and it was only thanks to the terrifying defensive power of Susanoo that he survived.
After Danzo was blown away once again by a Wind Release jutsu, Shisui, wearing a mask, said fiercely:
"Everyone, it's almost over!"
"Danzo's Mangekyo Sharingan was stolen from the Uchiha clan!"
"He can't use this power for too long. Just a little more!"
"Just a little more, and we can completely kill him!"
Shisui's voice was as tempting as a demon from hell.
It made people feel as if the hundreds of millions of ryo in bounty were waving at them.
It has to be said that under the premise that everyone subconsciously believed this hawk-faced mysterious person was from the Uchiha clan, Shisui's words actually had a great deal of credibility.
After all, the Uchiha clan knew the most about the Sharingan in the ninja world.
Therefore, Shisui's words immediately gained the recognition of many people.
And the facts seemed to prove this point as well.
This time, after Danzo was blown away, he did not summon Susanoo again!
He just stood there alone, leaning against the rubble of rocks.
His clothes were tattered all over, covered with already coagulated blood.
He looked like a withered, lifeless piece of deadwood!
"Look, Danzo's eye power has been completely exhausted!" Shisui reminded excitedly.
While everyone was still hesitating, he was the first to rush forward.
The originally mutually wary crowd, upon seeing Shisui's action, immediately burst into an even faster sprint.
They scrambled past Shisui, fearing that if they were a step late, they would not get a share of Danzo's head!
In order to prevent others from getting Danzo first, they even started fighting each other!
People who had just been working together moments ago were now red-eyed with killing intent, attacking each other like enemies.
The entire scene was in utter chaos.
Fortunately, the leader of the Gravediggers was prepared.
He first used Earth Release to hide underground and, taking advantage of the chaos among the crowd, he immediately burst out from beneath Danzo's feet!
"Sorry, but these hundreds of millions of ryo in bounty are mine now!"
Amidst the reluctant and angry gazes of the crowd, he smiled excitedly and slashed off Danzo's head with a single strike!
The next second, the smile on his face froze.
Because a snow-white blade had just pierced through his chest from behind, with droplets of dark red blood dripping from the tip of the blade.
He turned his head with difficulty.
And to his astonishment, he found that the one who killed him was his own second-in-command.
The second-in-command of the Gravediggers team, the deputy leader.
"Why... why?" he asked, his voice tinged with blood.
The latter's eyes gleamed with a devilish light, and he sneered:
"Sorry, boss."
"I really need this bounty!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, he fiercely twisted the ninja blade in his hand.
Sending the leader straight to the afterlife.
But in the very next second, his head flew off.
Danzo's head was also snatched away.
Just like that, Danzo's head, like some kind of treasure, kept changing hands in the chaotic crowd.
No one noticed that the constantly transferred Danzo's head now revealed a strange smile.
"A new game has begun."
