***********
Silver-white flashes of light danced across the sky, leaving traces of lightning in every corner around the barrier.
In the next second, all the light came together into a burst of blooming feathers.
It was certainly a different kind of striking and beautiful display.
"Whew, I'm a little dizzy!" Colt landed on the ground.
Kaminari was subsequently swiped discarding the blood on it and then sheathed.
Colt couldn't help but sigh.
He was still too weak; using the [Flying Thunder God] hundreds of times in a row left him slightly disoriented.
However, the name was still fitting.
Such an attack was indeed his masterpiece.
At this moment, he had been teleporting through his feathers and swinging his sword full of lightning, at such a speed he did it hundreds of times before he stopped.
As his sigh faded, the Root ninja, who had stayed eerily still, suddenly burst like opened faucets.
"Argh"
"Wha-"
"АНН"
Each body had a different number of slash marks full of lightning, and as a result, a lot of blood was sprayed out.
Thunderstorm Dance, indeed.
Danzo was stunned, his mouth open in disbelief.
Just a second ago, he had been a powerful figure of Konoha with hundreds of Root operatives who would solely listen to him.
And now, his Root was... Gone.
Just like that...
*Argh*
Sounds of the bodies falling echoed suddenly as the Root ninjas collapsed one by one.
In the entire barrier, only Colt and Danzo were left facing each other.
A friendly smile adorned the boy's face, giving him an almost holy look under the sunlight.
In contrast, Danzo's aged face grew even uglier.
**********
By now, the noise from the Root base had alerted many of the ninjas in Konoha.
They all looked on with startled expressions.
Konoha had seen a similar barrier just a few months ago.
They started running to the place where the barrier was.
The few who arrived earlier were lucky enough to see Colt's stunning attack, but their expressions quickly changed.
This was serious - it was actually Root!
No matter what, Root was still a part of Konoha.
Killing so many Root ninjas in public...
Had Colt gone mad?
Among these ninjas, there were even some from famous clans.
"Hey, Inoichi, that's your son-in-law, right? Scary, isn't he?" Shikaku straightened up, no longer his usual lazy self.
"Y-yes..." Inoichi's voice shook, horrified by Colt's strength and daring persona.
"Shikaku, you're the smartest of us. Hurry up and think of something. I don't want my daughter to become a missing-nin!"
Inoichi panicked, knowing his precious daughter loved Colt deeply.
If Colt was forced to take this path, Ino would definitely follow him.
Glancing at their friend with pity, Chōza Akimichi and Shikaku understood him very well at this moment.
However...
They weren't much better off either.
After all, this same guy was the best friend of Shikamaru and Chōji.
"Don't worry. Since he dared to do this, it's very likely that Tsunade-sama has some plan. Try not to worry too much," Shikaku, as Konoha's current chief strategist, quickly identified the key points and explained the situation to his friend.
Hearing this, Inoichi thought about it for a bit, and then felt somewhat relieved.
**********
Inside the barrier, Danzo's hand shook slightly. But he still regained his composure.
"Kamiyo Colt, you openly attacked the Root ninjas' base, and inside of Konoha no less. Are you trying to betray the village?!"
Three question marks appeared above Colt's head.
Was Danzo seriously ill? Why ask such a question at a time like this?
Seizing this chance, Danzo unwrapped the bandage covering his right eye!
A Mangekyō Sharingan with a four-pointed shuriken pattern faced Colt.
"[Kotoamatsukami]!"
The Mangekyō spun rapidly, and Colt's expression suddenly became dazed.
As Danzo's Mangekyō changed back to a three-tomoe pattern, he burst into wild laughter.
"Hahahahaha!"
"Kamiyo Colt! No matter how much of a genius you are, you were still meant to be used by
me!"
Everyone outside the barrier looked on in confusion.
Has Danzo... gone mad?
"Come closer, and kneel down!" Danzo shouted, his voice filled with anger, and most
importantly... excitement.
Although many of his subordinates had died, as long as he subdued Colt, everything would be
worth it!
But... after a few seconds, Colt didn't move at all, which left Danzo confused.
"Kamiyo Colt, I said come and kneel before me!"
Afraid that Colt didn't know he was being addressed, Danzo repeated the command, using his
full name.
"Stop barking. Don't waste your words; rabbits are just regular animals; they don't understand what you're saying." Colt's lazy voice came from behind.
Rabbits?
Only then did Danzo's expression change. He formed a hand seal to dispel the Genjutsu he
realized he was under.
The real scene soon appeared to him.
At his feet, a rabbit had appeared at some point, affectionately rubbing against him.
It turned out that the target of his [Kotoamatsukami] wasn't Colt, but a rabbit.
From the perspective of the onlookers, Danzo had suddenly revealed a Sharingan in his eye that was supposed to be blind and stared at the rabbit for a while.
Then he started yelling.
Colt had known about the existence of [Kotoamatsukami] for a long time. As such, how could
he not guard against it?
Although his current Mangekyō was said to be at the Eternal level, the [Kotoamatsukami]
technique had been hyped too much in the past so he didn't want to take any risks.
Someone in his past life had even claimed that the [Kotoamatsukami] could even directly
control Kaguya.
He didn't know about that one but...
To be safe, Colt had decided to let Danzo use this trump card first.
There was also one in Itachi's possession, which must also be destroyed so that Colt could
finally rest at ease.
As for the rabbit... it was just a rabbit he had bought from the market on his way here. Throwing a shuriken, Danzo killed the rabbit under Colt's regretful gaze.
He had bought it for 800 ryo and was planning to take it home and enjoy a nice dinner.
Danzo, on the other hand, looked at Colt angrily.
These young people these days had no honor!
He had even tricked a seventy-year-old man!
More and more people gathered outside the barrier.
Even Hiashi rushed over with a group of Hyuga clan members, looking at Colt worriedly.
But Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado didn't appear.
Tsunade's delay tactic had worked as expected.
Today, Colt not only wanted to completely eliminate Danzo but also bring him down publicly.
And Danzo had reached the same conclusion - he had no way out.
"[Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere]!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
A continuous stream of small air projectiles spat from his mouth, like bullets.
The advantage of the Wind Style was its intangibility, making it extremely difficult to dodge.
Danzo's Wind Style prowess wasn't well known, but he had great mastery in it.
Unfortunately, no ninjutsu could escape Colt's Sharingan.
Under his dynamic vision, all the attacks were easily avoided, and ended up hitting the barrier
with a 'Zizi' sound.
At that moment, two shurikens wrapped in Wind Style chakra flew towards him.
Colt grabbed [Kaminari] and smashed one directly.
Taking advantage of the situation, he inserted [Kaminari] into the center of the other
shuriken. A trace of playfulness flashed in Colt's eyes as he threw it out like lightning!
The distance between the two was only ten meters, and with his strength, the shuriken reached Danzo in the blink of an eye.
At the critical moment, Danzo could only instinctively raise his right arm to defend.
The sharp chakra cut straight through the bandage.
After a sound of metal clashing, the solid metal brace also cracked layer by layer.
And the secrets inside were exposed to everyone!
The ninja watching the battle widened their eyes in shock!
'This is...'
"So many Sharingans?!"
