Sasuke led the Team Taka in the forest of the Land of Fire, with the goal of intercepting Danzo after he left Konoha but before he reached the capital of the Land of Fire.

And they couldn't risk being too close to Konoha, as it would likely invite relentless retaliation.

As for the guards sent by the Land of Fire’s Daimyo, Sasuke did not take them seriously. Now that Sasuke has obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan, he is becoming more and more arrogant.

"Karin, how far are we from the target?” Sasuke asked.

"Just ahead, but I don’t know why they stopped." Karin replied as she continued running, "Danzo stayed where he was, and there's someone else... wait, they just disappeared."

The one who had disappeared was Naruto. Danzo stood outside his cart, watching with suspicion as someone who looked exactly like Sasuke knocked out several of the Land of Fire’s guards and then vanished without a trace.

He felt that there was something strange about this Sasuke. He had appeared but hadn’t attacked, merely blocking his path.

‘Was there more to this?’

Danzo scanned the surroundings before letting out a cold snort, ‘In the end, he was just the remnant of the evil Uchiha. What tricks could he possibly play? And all this hesitation… what's the point of dragging things out?’

Though Danzo was old, he wasn't afraid. Even now, he believed he could take on ten men at once. After all, he was the Nidaime Hokage's ruthless second disciple? How could he not have some tricks up his sleeve?

Naruto, who had quickly fled after knocking out the guards, used the Flying Thunder God Technique to escape into a nearby tree, enjoying the show from a distance. He simply wanted to stall Danzo long enough for Sasuke to pinpoint his location in this isolated stretch of wilderness.

"Disappeared?" Sasuke felt a little uneasy, always feeling that something was off, ​​but with the chance to kill Danzo right in front of him, he couldn't afford to hesitate.

Danzo’s cloudy eyes shifted slowly, uncomfortable with the fact that he no longer had subordinates to handle such trivial tasks. In the past, he'd never had to lift a finger for matters like this.

‘Now that I think about it, it's all the fault of those maniacs. Without the authorization from the higher-ups, they suddenly attacked my Root. What Godaime… she is simply a crazy woman.’

Danzo didn’t expect that he had actually fallen to the point where he had to do everything himself. Raising his head slightly, Danzo could hear his neck producing dry cracking sounds as the bones stretched.

With four rustling sounds, the four members of the Team Taka landed around Danzo and surrounded him. The leader was none other than Sasuke, who was glaring coldly at Danzo.

"Uchiha Sasuke?" Danzo tossed away his cane and slowly began unwrapping the bandages on his right arm, "So, it’s come to this. Let’s end it here."

As the bandages fell to the ground, they revealed Danzo’s right arm, which is grotesquely covered in Sharingan eyes. The Sharingan, which could never be closed, was wide open and lifelessly attached on his arm.

The sight sent shivers down anyone’s spine.

In the distance, Naruto, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes and wondered, ‘Is there something wrong with Danzo? Even if he transplanted the Sharingan, why put them on his right arm? Is he left-handed or something?’

“One Sharingan has drained Kakashi. How many CPUs is Danzo running with? How does he have so much Chakra?" Naruto muttered in amazement.

Physical cheats like this might be impressive, but overreliance on them seemed like a recipe for disaster. He has all the Hashirama’s cells, Wind Release, Sharingan, but Danzo couldn't seem to master any of them fully, and instead, looked awkward using all three.

"Oh, Susanoo, huh? Damn, it’s a purple Gundam." Naruto watched from his perch as the battle unfolded, "That old dog Danzo is not doing so well. Looks like age caught up with him."

As Sasuke’s purple Susanoo slammed Danzo into the ground once again, Naruto couldn't help but be stunned, “Even the Gundam couldn't kill that old dog Danzo? That Izanagi cheat is really broken.’

Danzo's Izanagi practically gave him multiple lives, and only a madman as relentless as Sasuke could fight him on even terms.

As the battle became increasingly tense, Jugo, Suigetsu and Karin were both standing by. They didn’t dare disrupt the duel between Sasuke and Danzo. It’s because, one, they didn’t want to interfere, and two, they feared the other person lurking nearby.

The person they were worried about, of course, was Naruto. Although Karin hadn’t pinpointed Naruto’s Chakra, she could sense a powerful presence watching them from the shadows.

One by one, the Sharingan on Danzo’s arm began to close, while Sasuke grew increasingly exhausted. Naruto watched for a while, silently cheering for Sasuke in his heart.

But with one misstep, the tide turned, and Sasuke, battered and bloody, was sent flying across the battlefield. The purple Susanoo instantly shattered, dissolving into nothingness.

"Sasuke!!" Karin cried out as she rushed into the fray, throwing caution to the wind to reach Sasuke. Jugo and Suigetsu immediately jumped into the fray to block Danzo’s ferocious attacks.

Though old, Danzo’s experience proved valuable, and with Sasuke’s momentary lapse, he had landed a critical blow. The ground cracked beneath Sasuke’s impact, and the depth of the crater signaled the severity of his injuries.

The humanoid self-propelled healing tool, Karin, had already offered her arm for Sasuke to bite and heal himself. With an extremely coquettish moan, Sasuke managed to regain a bit of strength.

However, Jugo was sent flying by Danzo, and Suigetsu alone couldn’t hold off Danzo’s onslaught. The situation took a turn for the worse, and Sasuke, considering the mysterious man who had not yet appeared, gritted his teeth and ordered a retreat.

The Team Taka retreated in embarrassment, and the Sharingan in Danzo's arm were almost completely extinguished, with only two or three eyes still wide open.

Naruto watched from atop the treetops as the smoke-filled battlefield revealed Danzo standing tall. He observed the direction in which the Team Taka had fled but made no move to pursue them.

Danzo knew that Uchiha’s Fire Release countered his Wind Release Ninjutsu. Izanagi also required time to activate, and Sasuke seemed to have some understanding of his abilities, which is why the fight had reached this point.

The only reason Danzo was still standing was that he had ten chances to rewrite reality, while Sasuke was defeated after just one fatal misstep.

Yet Danzo was fully aware that in terms of agility and stamina, he was no match for the young and strong Sasuke. The Susanoo was far stronger than he had anticipated, a near-indestructible fortress.

Just as Danzo breathed a sigh of relief, a familiar voice echoed through the surroundings.

"Danzo-sama, you seem to be in a good mood, taking a stroll?"

"Who?"

"Since you're asking who I am, I'll generously tell you." Naruto jumped down from the tree canopy, looking at Danzo with a smug smile.

"I’m the Clan Head of the Uzumaki Clan, though I'm the only one left in the clan. Of course, it's me, Uzumaki Naruto. Surprised? Didn't expect that, did you? What a coincidence, Danzo-sama."

"I was just taking a stroll outside the village, and look who I ran into. We must be fated."

Hearing Naruto's irritating words, Danzo's face turned cold, and he secretly spat in his mind, ‘A stroll? You strolled all the way out here? Do you think the forests of the Land of Fire are your backyard?’

Of course, he was too proud to say that out loud. Danzo could somewhat guess Naruto's intentions and quietly pulled out a kunai, preparing for another battle.
