After a brief moment of anger, Danzo quickly regained his composure.
Having traversed the ninja world for so many years, this was his basic skill.
It was not yet time to despair.
Although he had lost his right eye, the nine Sharingan on his right arm were still usable, meaning he still had nine chances to revive.
These nine chances were enough for him to kill his opponent and retrieve the Mangekyo Sharingan.
The power of Hashirama's cells activated, and the blood from his right eye instantly stopped.
Danzo slowly stood up, glaring at Kimimaro.
"Orochimaru's scheme against me ends here. I will make him regret his actions today!"
Seeing that Danzo seemed to be placing the blame on Orochimaru, Kimimaro raised an eyebrow but didn't explain.
Having obtained the Mangekyo Sharingan, the gains from this mission had already exceeded his original plan.
But since things had come to this, he didn't mind taking Danzo's right arm back for research as well.
Both Hashirama's cells and the Sharingan were excellent research materials.
Orochimaru probably had both of these, but with limited resources, he might not be willing to give Kimimaro a share.
One still had to rely on oneself.
Danzo formed hand seals!
"Wind Style! Shuriken!"
He took out two shuriken from his ninja tool pouch, infusing them with Wind Style chakra, instantly forming a Wind Style coating on their surface.
The shuriken, originally only half the size of his palm, grew dozens of times larger under the Wind Style enhancement and shot towards Kimimaro.
As he threw the shuriken, his hands formed seals again.
It was the seal for Izanagi!
Kimimaro charged forward with his sword, passing between the two Wind Style shuriken with ease, his bone sword aimed directly at Danzo!
Demon Sword Assault!
As a surprise attack skill, this move was very effective.
With a flash of sword light, the bone sword pierced Danzo's body without any resistance.
The moment it pierced through, Kimimaro felt a sense of unease.
Because Danzo didn't resist at all, this was a trap!
Boom!
The two Wind Style shuriken slammed into the wall, creating two large holes in the impact.
Kimimaro quickly pulled out his bone sword, but Danzo suddenly grabbed his right hand.
"Trying to leave? It's too late! Wood Style! Wood Root Burial!"
Countless wooden branches sprouted from Danzo's right arm, enveloping both of them.
The terrifying squeezing force of the wood erupted!
"Damn it!"
Kimimaro's face showed alarm.
Danzo looked at him coldly, not caring that his own body was also being consumed by the wood.
"Become nourishment for the trees!"
A towering tree took shape in the room.
The once spacious room became cramped.
Outside the tree, Danzo's figure reappeared.
The second Sharingan on his right arm closed.
Wood Root Burial, a mutually destructive technique.
But Danzo could use Izanagi to avoid the side effects of mutual destruction and revive himself.
"Next is to find this guy's corpse and retrieve Shisui's Sharingan."
Danzo muttered, but the next moment, the scene before him made his pupils dilate in shock.
The giant tree that had closed up was actually being pried open from the inside!
Kimimaro slowly walked out.
But at this moment, he looked somewhat disheveled.
His clothes were torn in many places, and blood was flowing out.
The most bizarre thing was that some of the skin on his body was missing, revealing white bones.
His hands had more bones than flesh.
Kimimaro opened his eyes and looked at Danzo not far away.
There was no emotion in those eyes.
He seemed to be looking at a dead person.
Even Danzo, who had experienced many storms, felt a chill in his heart when he met those eyes.
The white bones receded, and the flesh grew back at an astonishingly fast speed.
Kimimaro quickly returned to his original appearance, except for his damaged clothes which remained the same.
"No, impossible! The pressure Wood Root Burial puts on the body is no less than the Fourth Kazekage's Sand Burial. How can he be completely fine? How hard are those bones?"
Danzo was shocked.
He had seen the Shikotsumyaku before, but he had never seen such hard bones.
What kind of monster had Orochimaru created?
"You're quite the player."
After consecutive battles and being hit by this technique, the chakra that Kimimaro had just recovered from the soldier pills was completely depleted.
Trapped within the giant tree, Kimimaro had no choice but to use his last resort.
Yin Seal Release!
The Yin Seal, which would have taken more than a year to complete, was released prematurely!
A massive amount of chakra surged out, filling Kimimaro's near-depleted body with power once again.
This power helped him forcefully break free from the tree's restraints.
But he was not happy.
The premature release of the Yin Seal meant that all his efforts on it for over a year had been wasted.
At this moment, Kimimaro was like an enraged beast!
At this point, Danzo had the thought of retreating.
"I can't fight this guy head-on, he's a monster!"
Danzo wanted to leave, but Kimimaro naturally wouldn't let him.
Things had come to this, he had to kill this man!
Byakugan activated!
A large amount of chakra poured in, and the Byakugan's power surged.
His perception increased once again.
Danzo's movements seemed to slow down in his eyes.
"Want to leave? Not so easy."
Kimimaro sneered, his speed exploding!
Flash Step!
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Danzo.
"What!"
Seeing Kimimaro, who seemed to have transformed, Danzo was shocked.
Such speed!
Much faster than before!
His right fist clenched!
He struck!
Strength Clow Card!
Terrifying force erupted, hitting Danzo's chest.
The moment it connected, white bone spikes emerged from his fist.
The bone spikes pierced through Danzo's back!
The white bones were stained with blood.
But soon, Danzo's figure disappeared and reappeared a short distance away.
The third Sharingan on his right arm closed.
"No, I need to get out of here quickly!"
Danzo formed hand seals, wanting to cast Izanagi on himself as he escaped.
But just as he was about to complete the last seal, he suddenly found that he couldn't move.
"This is..."
Danzo's eyes widened in disbelief.
His body was restrained?
No, this feeling wasn't just his body, the whole world seemed to have stopped.
Purple flames emerged from the ground, engulfing Danzo in an instant.
"Inner Eight Gates Hundred and Twenty-Eight Palms: Eight Wine Cups!"
A technique that, when mastered, could freeze time!
Of course, Kimimaro couldn't achieve that level yet, but with the Yin Seal released and his chakra greatly increased, he seemed to have glimpsed a trace of its essence.
And that trace was enough to seal Danzo's hand seals.
"It's over, Danzo!"
Kimimaro swung his right bone sword, and the right arm covered in Sharingan was instantly severed!
His left index finger shot out the lightning-covered finger bone, piercing Danzo's heart!
