Chapter 170: Izanagi And Wood Style
🕑 Added 2025-05-18 10:28:03 +0000 UTCAfter devouring Danzo, the extremely violent energy column pushed forward, directly plowing a long path through the forest surrounding Konoha.
Simu didn’t let his guard down, though.
He knew that no matter how powerful his attack was, it wouldn’t be truly effective until the Sharingan on Danzo’s arm was completely consumed.
“What a troublesome ability,”
Simu sighed deeply.
This was one of the ultimate eye techniques of the Uchiha clan.
Its name was Izanagi.
It allowed the user to forcibly alter established reality using the power of the Sharingan.
However, depending on the caster’s strength, the range and duration of the alteration varied.
Danzo wasn’t a member of the Uchiha clan, so his scope of modification was even more limited.
As for the cost of this technique, it was not small.
Every time Izanagi was cast, one Sharingan would go permanently blind.
The average Uchiha could only use it twice at most.
Only an old, tough veteran like Danzo could afford to use it so many times.
In the original timeline, each of Danzo’s eyes could only use Izanagi for one minute.
In other words, within that minute, no matter what fatal injury he suffered, it would be nullified.
How long that would last was unknown.
Sure enough, although Danzo’s strength had seriously declined, his survivability was second only to Orochimaru.
After the aftermath of the energy column dissipated, Danzo’s figure slowly emerged from the smoke.
But Simu’s attention wasn’t on him.
His instincts told him that the real Danzo was using the smoke as cover to quickly escape toward the outskirts of Konoha.
I have to admit, Danzo made the right choice.
After all, given his crimes, even if he didn’t die, he would be imprisoned for life.
To continue realizing his ambitions, the only way left was to leave Konoha temporarily.
And here, so close to Konoha,
Even with all his secret techniques, he couldn’t resist Konoha’s endless pursuit.
“You want to trap me with only one clone? Don’t underestimate me.”
Simu rubbed his neck.
With a clone of this level, he could destroy it with a single punch.
Clone Danzo’s mouth twitched.
He hadn’t expected Simu to see through his clone so quickly.
“If that’s the case, the old man won’t let you pass so easily.”
After forming a seal, he pressed one hand to the ground.
“Summoning Technique!”
A monster was summoned from the smoke.
It looked strange—four-legged like a tiger, but with a long nose growing from its face.
It resembled a civet cat with a long snout.
This was Shimura Danzo’s summoning beast.
The legendary Nightmare.
Able to use extremely powerful Wind Style ninjutsu.
In the original timeline, it cooperated with Danzo and could even break through Susanoo with two pillars.
“Master Danzo, this is a troublesome opponent.”
As soon as it appeared, the Nightmare felt the terrifying aura from Simu.
Its long nose blasted out streams of air like a jet engine.
“Help me stop him.”
Clone Danzo said coldly.
Immediately afterwards, it began to release a violent, turbulent airflow from its mouth.
The Nightmare tapir also aimed its nostrils at the enemy.
Endless airflow shot out.
The two air currents converged, forming a terrible storm.
The surrounding thick trees were devastated by the aftermath of the storm.
Some were broken in half.
Some were even uprooted and spun into the air.
Simu raised an eyebrow.
Better than a normal summoning beast, huh?
He pressed one hand to the ground.
“Summoning Technique!”
A thick column of smoke gushed out.
“Master Simu.”
The voice of the Five-Tails Kokuō rang in Simu’s ears.
Simu stood atop its head and issued the clearest, most direct command.
“Charge straight through.”
“Yes, Master Simu.”
Facing the storm ahead, Five-Tails Kokuō’s eyes were calm and focused.
The Boil Style Chakra on it surged relentlessly.
Countless water vapors emitted from its body.
Fueled by the vapors, Five-Tails was boosted to ultimate speed,
Flashing like a white shadow.
Under the blessing of this speed, the five tough, long horns on its head slashed down fiercely.
Simu placed his palm on Kokuō’s head,
Reinforcing its already hard horns with Armament Haki.
“Armed Horn Slash!”
Wrapped in white steam, Five-Tails crashed into the storm like a charging train.
The sharp horns on its head cut the storm in half like a razor blade.
“Is this the power of a tailed beast...?”
The nightmare standing next to Danzo let out a final sigh.
Then it was smashed into smoke and dissipated along with Danzo's clone.
Five Tails wasn’t slowing down at all.
Charging straight in the direction Danzo fled.
Having already run thousands of meters away, Danzo quickly sensed the danger from behind.
He hastily flashed to the side.
The Five Tails galloped forward, directly wiping out the spot where Danzo had just been, along with the surrounding trees.
Finally, Five Tails stopped. Simu stood on its head, hands in his pockets, and said,
“Elder Danzo, where are you going?”
“Yellow-mouthed brat.”
Danzo planted his feet and used the Body Flicker Technique to quickly approach Simu.
But Simu just gently lifted a finger.
The hot laser pierced through the air, pinning Danzo in mid-air.
“47.”
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of Danzo’s mouth.
He looked down in disbelief at the wound that ran through his chest.
There was a burning smell around the injury.
His body fell limply to the ground.
Simu then turned and looked in the opposite direction.
Sure enough, Danzo emerged from the woods again.
This time, it was different.
On his gray-white arm, the second Sharingan was half-closed.
But Simu was in no hurry.
This was the second minute of Danzo’s life support.
He wanted to see how many Sharingan eyes this guy actually had.
Danzo’s chest heaved violently.
Obviously, casting Izanagi was not an easy task for him.
His eyes were complicated.
Although he could use Izanagi to avoid the fatal damage caused by Simu,
he couldn’t hurt Simu at all!
And the Sharingan on his body was limited — if he kept using them up, he would really have no chance by the time other Konoha shinobi arrived!
“Wind Style Shuriken!”
He threw out a large shuriken, wrapped in an incredibly sharp Wind Style Chakra.
It slashed at Simu from different directions.
But even such a fast attack, under Simu’s perceptive awareness, was still like a turtle moving slowly.
He waved the mace in his hand and knocked down all the shurikens with eight quick strikes.
Until the last shuriken.
Just as Simu’s attack was about to land, the shuriken suddenly transformed into Danzo himself.
“Wind Style Vacuum Sword!”
He injected Wind Style Chakra into a kunai, forming an extremely sharp long sword to stab at Simu.
But instead of surprise on Simu’s face,
there was a hint of playful banter — like a cat comfortably toying with a mouse.
The expression made Danzo furious.
The kunai in his hand accelerated and stabbed at Simu.
But how could Simu, who had prepared for this a long time ago, let Danzo succeed so easily?
Raising eight fists and one block, a fierce burst of fire exploded from above instantly.
One blow connected, and Danzo suddenly fell down.
He formed a mudra with one hand and spat out a ring of airflow from his mouth.
The air currents spun rapidly, their power rivaling the chakra-wrapped ninja sword!
Simu immediately shaved through the air and flew up.
Five Tails shook his head cooperatively.
Danzo lost his center of gravity and was thrown into mid-air.
Simu aimed at Danzo with eight fists and slammed down like a baseball bat.
“Overlord!”
Another shockwave engulfed Danzo before crashing into the ground.
The massive impact smashed a large hole in the earth, and Danzo vanished without a trace.
Simu landed the smoking mace back on Five Tails’ head.
He quickly activated Observation Haki.
Hmm?
He raised his eyebrows in surprise.
Unexpectedly, Danzo appeared directly behind him this time.
The second Sharingan on Danzo’s arm was completely closed.
And the third eye was opening quickly as well.
Simu clenched his fist, dark red lightning surging over it.
The kunai in Danzo’s hand stabbed at Simu with incredible speed.
But Simu’s reflexes and speed were faster.
Though caught off guard by Danzo’s sudden appearance, Simu still reacted in time.
Turning around, he threw a punch.
The steel fist landed on the tip of the kunai.
“Boom!”
Under the dark red lightning, the Wind Style Chakra wrapped around the kunai quickly collapsed.
Immediately after, the kunai shattered into pieces.
Danzo was slammed to the ground again.
Simu’s condescending look reappeared on Danzo’s face.
This time, Danzo looked much more exhausted.
Using Izanagi repeatedly had taken a huge toll on his body.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
He suddenly coughed violently.
Thick blood dripped from his fingertips.
Simu just watched silently, without the urge to attack first.
After all, Danzo still had Sharingan — attacking now was useless.
Only by running out the time could he finish off Danzo.
Danzo paused for a moment, then said,
“Since those moves are useless, let’s try this power!”
Danzo suddenly became ferocious, and his right arm swelled instantly.
“Wood Style: Blast Gun!”
