Roar!
The Nightmare-Eater roared, a powerful shockwave sending a plume of dust into the sky.
Uchiha Itachi's expression tightened. He grabbed Uchiha Fugaku's hand. "Father, should we intervene?"
Uchiha Fugaku's face changed, but before he could speak, Uchiha Shisui said, "Itachi, this concerns Kai. Uncle prioritizes the bigger picture..."
Uchiha Fugaku fell silent. He knew Kai was just a shadow clone; the real Kai had been lured out of Konoha. If Danzō discovered this, it would cause trouble.
"Kai, you can't escape today," Danzō landed on the Nightmare-Eater's head.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
He formed hand seals, chakra surging from his mouth as he unleashed a powerful gust of wind.
The Nightmare-Eater attacked simultaneously.
Their attacks combined into a devastating hurricane, the wind blades slicing through trees and rocks.
The dozens of Root ninjas also attacked, using Fire Release techniques under Danzō's Wind Release assault.
Fire fueled by wind, wind strengthening the fire!
The combined attack sent flames soaring, even reddening the clouds.
The Susanoo was instantly engulfed!
"Danzō, are you mad?!" The Third Hokage and others arrived hastily, sensing the flames and heat from afar.
"Quickly put out the fire!" Jiraiya's expression changed. He didn't know why Kai, supposedly training at Mount Myōboku, was here. If their relationship soured, his efforts would be wasted.
"Hmph, Jiraiya, you're too naive. This is a good opportunity," Danzō roared.
"Sealing Team, activate the Six Crimson Ray Formation to trap Uchiha Kai!"
Six pre-positioned ninjas sprang into action, forming a purple sealing barrier.
The flames subsided, revealing the Susanoo, covered in cracks.
Everyone tensed.
Uchiha Itachi, unable to contain himself, grabbed Uchiha Fugaku's hand. "Father, if you don't act, brother will be in danger!"
"Shisui, you won't stand idly by?"
Faced with Itachi's plea and Danzō's smug smile, Uchiha Fugaku was helpless. He couldn't reveal that Kai was just a shadow clone.
"Danzō, remove the barrier!" the Third Hokage shouted. "Or I'll do it myself!"
Seeing Sarutobi Hiruzen grab his Hokage robe, Danzō's expression darkened. "Hiruzen, you're senile. You know how dangerous this kid is."
"Don't let your so-called kindness endanger Konoha. He's trapped. If you join me, we can capture him."
You!
The Third Hokage was furious, about to reveal his battle attire, when an unexpected figure appeared beside Jiraiya.
Everyone was stunned. Their eyes widened in disbelief.
"Kai, weren't you inside the barrier?" Jiraiya was the first to react.
Danzō's actions were rash, but his attack was well-planned. Even a tailed beast could be trapped.
Yet, Kai appeared before them.
Was he too fast?
"Impossible! You were sealed! How are you here?" Danzō's expression changed drastically. He looked towards the burning barrier.
Another Kai, within a cracked Susanoo, was visible.
"Let my clone go. Come at me," Kai smiled playfully.
His quiet voice echoed, like a hypnotic spell. The Root ninjas froze. They couldn't defeat even a clone.
Bang!
Inside the barrier, the Susanoo shattered, and Kai dissipated into white mist.
Danzō and the others were stunned. They'd hoped the Kai inside the barrier was real, and the one before them was a clone. But that was wrong.
"Impossible! I, Danzō, am never wrong," Danzō's face turned livid. "Nightmare-Eater, kill him!"
His plan had failed.
Roar!
The Nightmare-Eater roared, its gaping maw unleashing a powerful suction force.
The force enveloped Kai and the others.
Danzō had lost his composure.
"Careful! The Nightmare-Eater has an internal space that can devour anything," the Third Hokage warned urgently. "Scatter!"
"No need!"
Kai smiled warmly, his hands moving like a blur, chakra gathering in his mouth.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
A massive fireball formed. The flames ignited, and the Nightmare-Eater inhaled it.
Wind fueled the fire!
The Nightmare-Eater's eyes widened, its body inflating like a balloon.
Then, it exploded.
Boom!
Endless flames soared, with a powerful shockwave.
The Third Hokage and others used defensive jutsu.
When the dust settled, only a massive crater and scattered remains remained.
Everyone was speechless. The powerful summoning beast had been defeated by a single Great Fireball Technique. It was unbelievable.
"Save him! Save Danzō-sama!"
A Root ninja shouted.
Danzō, engulfed in flames, was lying at the forest's edge, rolling to extinguish the fire.
The Third Hokage's face changed. His hand seals moved like a blur, unleashing a torrent of water, extinguishing the flames, revealing Danzō's charred body.
