Stop, stopped?!
Danzo stared in shock at the stopped Fire Dragon Storm.
It wasn't a Ninjutsu problem.
The Ninjutsu team was still continuously using Chakra to maintain the technique.
The rushing, howling Fire Dragon Storm was like it ran into an invisible wall, unable to move forward even an inch.
What exactly is it—
Danzo's thoughts stopped suddenly.
He saw it.
The rain filled the sky, suspended in the air, the red flames reflecting, like sparkling, clear red jewels.
Danzo touched it with his finger, a stinging pain at his fingertip, as if pressing on a nail. The raindrops were suspended in mid-air, no matter how much force Danzo used, they wouldn't move.
Danzo understood.
It was these dense raindrops that blocked the Fire Dragon Storm.
But… why?
Controlling raindrops could be considered Linto's ability, but the temperature around the Fire Dragon Storm was extremely high, before the raindrops could block it, they should have been burned and evaporated…
Crack!
Inside the raindrops, golden lightning flashed.
It was Ripple and Natural Energy strengthening the raindrops.
Four-Star Stand: Rainbow Catcher.
Ability: To fix the raindrops it touches in mid-air, allowing it to step on the raindrops, or use the raindrops as weapons to cut opponents, and it can also act as an obstacle to block enemy attacks.
Since the rain will not cut itself, it can use the rain to penetrate the body, and separate the penetrated part from the body, thereby achieving remote control.
It's a bit complicated to describe, simply put, it controls the rain it touches, and achieves its own "elementalization."
This is a very powerful ability. The reason why Rainbow Catcher is a four-star Stand is because it has three limitations:
First, it can only be activated in rainy weather.
Second, only the raindrops it touches can be controlled. To control a large area of raindrops, it takes a certain amount of time to "warm up," giving the body time to touch the raindrops.
Third, rain is still rain, and it will be evaporated in the face of Fire Release and high-temperature objects.
The first limitation, Linto doesn't have "weather forecast," so he can't solve it for the time being.
But the last two limitations can be ignored for Linto, who has mastered Ripple and Natural Energy.
Natural Energy wrapped with Ripple, amplified by the Dragon Snake Jewel, transmits Linto's will to every falling raindrop within a three-kilometer radius.
At this moment, they are Linto's strongest shield, and his sharpest spear.
"What kind of Ninjutsu is this? Why haven't I ever seen Linto use it?"
Danzo suddenly looked up at the sky.
"Could it be because of… the rain?"
One after another Root ninja discovered the solidified raindrops in the air. If they accidentally touched it, their bodies would be left with one bloody hole after another.
"Too scary! This… how can one person master such power?!"
Even the Root organization, whose core idea is to erase emotions, couldn't help but feel extremely shocked inside when they witnessed such a terrifying scene.
"Kakashi."
Linto's voice came from the air: "Besides the four of you, are there any 'friendly forces'?"
Kakashi shook his head.
The Anbu ninja stayed outside. Out of politeness, only Kakashi and the other three followed Linto and his group into the Uchiha ruins.
Linto nodded slightly: "That's good."
Kakashi was stunned, thinking of a possibility.
Could it be…
"Buzz—Buzz—"
With Linto present, everyone focused Chakra into their eyes and ears.
Danzo heard the sound of the helicopter blades and followed the sound.
He saw a small plane circling in the air, the pilot, Smith, giving Linto a thumbs up.
"What do you want to do!"
Danzo panicked for no reason.
Linto stretched out his right hand, raindrops falling into his palm.
At the same time, an overhead view of the Uchiha ruins appeared in his vision, densely marked with red dots.
A total of one hundred and thirty-nine Root ninja.
Locking complete.
Linto suddenly clenched his fist.
"Be pierced by the storm."
Rain fell again.
Turning into sharp arrows, piercing the darkness.
The Root ninja quickly used defensive Ninjutsu.
But human power has its limits.
The torrential rain, every drop of rain, pierced through the barriers, pierced through the shelters, and also pierced through all the psychological defenses of the Root members.
For a moment, screams followed one after another.
Losing the caster's control, the Super Fire Dragon Storm quietly dissipated, leaving only huge scorched marks on the ground, proving its existence.
"Lin—to—"
Danzo roared angrily.
Countless streams of water fell into Linto's palm, condensing into a water sphere:
"Don't worry, Konoha is willing to protect Sasuke, so I won't kill those people you bewitched. There is only one person who will die today."
"And that's you."
Linto pointed his hand, and the water sphere turned into a giant dragon, biting towards Danzo. At the same time, the rain in the sky changed direction again, falling towards Danzo.
In an instant, Danzo was riddled with holes.
His body quietly faded away again, and a few seconds later, appeared in another shadow.
"Izanagi."
The Uchiha Clan's ultimate eye technique, able to turn all facts unfavorable to oneself within a certain period of time into nothing.
After reappearing, Danzo didn't hesitate at all, and ignored his seriously injured subordinates, turning around and running towards the outside of the Uchiha ruins.
The plan failed.
He misjudged Linto's strength. Continuing to fight would only waste the Sharingan on his arm for no reason, and might even lead to death.
"Konoha has not yet found a path to become great again."
Danzo hurried and ran wildly in the rainy night.
"I can't die yet!"
As the thought flashed, the storm engulfed Danzo again, and another Sharingan closed its eyes. Danzo appeared a dozen meters away.
"Buzz—Buzz—"
The sound of the helicopter blades still hovered in the sky.
Summoning two five-star Stands at the same time, Linto's mental strength can only last for 2-3 seconds.
But one four-star and one five-star, Linto can maintain it for a whole day.
"Protect Lord Danzo!"
A dozen Root ninja got up with injuries, trying to support Danzo.
Kakashi stopped them and shook his head: "Linto spared your lives, don't go to your deaths, you can't stop him."
One of the Root ninja straightened his back:
"Kakashi-senpai, people don't live a lifetime, but live a few moments."
"We don't deserve pity if we die, but Lord Danzo, he can't die."
Not only them, more and more Root ninja, dragging their wounded bodies, stood up with extraordinary willpower.
They gathered around Danzo, waving kunai with trembling arms, futilely blocking the rain falling from the sky.
Danzo kept dying, and under the effect of Izanagi, constantly reborn.
He stared at the brightly lit center of Konoha in the distance.
"As long as I reach that position… that position… Sarutobi will come…"
Danzo was running, when suddenly, his chest was pierced by the Rupture Sword, the blade tearing his clothes, revealing a face of Senju Hashirama.
He was about to activate Izanagi, but found that it didn't change, turning his head to look, only to find that the last Sharingan had closed.
"Have I… died so many times?"
Boom—
Linto landed, standing in front of Danzo.
"Protect Lord Danzo!" the Root ninja shouted.
Danzo spat out a mouthful of blood: "Linto! You can't kill me, Konoha still needs me. This time it was my fault, give me a chance."
At the same time, a cry came from afar.
"Linto!"
Jiraiya ran wildly: "You can't kill him! You will bear a responsibility you shouldn't… let me do it!"
Linto taking action and Jiraiya taking action are completely different.
The former is an external enemy invasion.
The latter is an internal struggle.
One is an attack, the other is a family scandal.
Which is more important is obvious at a glance.
Once Linto takes action, whether it is out of Konoha's prestige, or Danzo's deeply rooted forces, Linto will become Konoha's eternal enemy.
Jiraiya is trying to take on this responsibility for Linto.
Further behind Jiraiya, the Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, was rushing over.
On the other side, Kakashi and Might Guy also rushed over.
"It's really lively."
Linto looked at the old man in front of him, the great sword piercing his chest, forcing Danzo to hunch over, making him look smaller than usual.
Beside him were his respectful subordinates.
In the distance were his running old friends.
They all stretched out their hands to Linto, either pleading, ordering, or threatening, asking him not to kill Danzo.
Linto nodded, pulled out the Rupture Sword, and waved his hand, the rain forming a rain screen, isolating everyone outside, leaving only him and Danzo.
Streams of water brought two teacups to Linto and Danzo.
Linto took the teacup, sat cross-legged, and made a gesture of invitation.
Danzo wanted to turn around and run, but with the storm overhead, where could he run?
He had to bite the bullet, and imitating Linto, take the teacup and sit cross-legged.
The two seemed to have returned to the previous pavilion.
Linto said: "I drank a cup of your tea, so I'll give you a chance."
"I ask, you answer."
"A satisfying answer, you live, if not, you die. Fair enough?"
Danzo said tremblingly: "Fair enough."
Linto took a deep breath, staring at the closed Sharingan on Danzo's right arm, and asked the question that had been pressing in his heart since he descended into this world:
"Was it you who ordered Uchiha Itachi to kill the entire Uchiha clan?"
Before, the answers to this question were all speculation and analysis.
But Linto wanted to hear Danzo, in front of everyone, say the truth himself.
Danzo was about to open his mouth when a cold, pale hand rested on his shoulder.
White Snake sneered: "Old man, think before you speak."
Danzo knew White Snake's ability, closed his eyes and thought for half a second, and said: "It was me."
"What conditions did you promise Itachi to make him foolish enough to kill his entire clan?"
"Peace."
Danzo said: "If the Uchiha Clan wasn't destroyed at that time, Konoha would definitely be in chaos, and the major ninja villages would definitely take advantage of the situation, and then there would be the Fourth Ninja World War."
"I made the decision out of 'righteousness'!"
"Itachi was a killer out of 'peace'!"
Linto waved his hand, signaling that Danzo didn't need to be so excited. He turned his head and looked at Sasuke and Konan.
"Do you think it's right?"
Before Sasuke and Konan could answer, Linto looked at Jiraiya, Sarutobi Hiruzen, and Kakashi who had arrived.
"Do you think it's right?"
No one answered.
Linto stood up, waved his hand to disperse the rain barrier isolating everyone, walked over, and patted Sasuke's little head.
"Let's go, it's boring."
Sasuke nodded hard.
He looked back at Shimura Danzo, who was surrounded by everyone in the center.
Danzo looked up, a point of scarlet bloomed from the center of his eyebrows, his hand drooped down, and the water in the teacup spilled.
Like offering a toast to the wronged souls on this land.
"Slaughtering Shimura Danzo, gaining 1100 soul fragments."
"Linto, you killed a Konoha high-ranking official, and you want to leave just like that?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen's voice sounded from behind.
Unable to tell the emotion.
