At this moment, Torune Aburame and the other Root operatives were focused on one thing—finding a way to cover Danzo's escape.
Because against Uchiha Nanaya's full-body Susanoo, there was no chance of victory.
The Desperation of Root
Torune possessed a unique ability—his body harbored nano-sized venomous insects.
Even the slightest touch from him could cause cellular destruction, leading to an agonizing death.
It was a deadly technique.
But against Nanaya's colossal Susanoo—
He wouldn't even be able to get close, let alone land a hit.
Fear in the Eyes of Root
The white Shura stood towering above them, its intense chakra radiating absolute dominance.
Every Root member held their breath, staring up in silent horror.
No one dared to speak.
No one dared to move.
Because deep down—
They all understood.
This was a battle they could not win.
Nanaya's Mockery
From above, Nanaya watched as Danzo's face turned pale, then let out a low chuckle.
"Heh… Old man, I bet you never thought you'd see this day, did you?"
This was the man who had manipulated Uchiha Itachi into committing genocide.
The puppet master behind the massacre of the Uchiha Clan.
And because of him, Nanaya had been forced to flee that night, escaping the bloodbath Itachi had been ordered to carry out.
But now—
The tables had turned.
And it was Danzo's turn to run.
Root's Last Attempt
Kaze Yamanaka, one of Danzo's loyalists, clenched his fists.
He needed to buy Danzo time to escape.
"Lord Hokage! We have dedicated our lives to Konoha!"
"Are you really so heartless that you would ignore our sacrifices?"
It was a desperate move—an attempt to stall for even a few seconds.
The Emotional Gamble
Kaze turned toward Tsunade, trying to use her past against her.
"When the Third Hokage was alive, all of our actions were approved by him!"
Perhaps Tsunade would hesitate—
Perhaps she would consider her teacher's wishes.
And in that brief moment of hesitation—
Danzo could escape.
Tsunade's Cold Response
"Tch—"
Tsunade let out a mocking snort.
"Who cares what that old fool thought? Konoha belongs to me now."
Her golden eyes glared down, filled with cold disdain.
"You old bastards really thought you could keep getting away with this?"
Then, her expression darkened.
"Oh, and by the way, Danzo…"
"Your two old friends? They're already dead."
The words hit like a thunderclap.
For a moment, silence filled the air.
Then, Danzo's eye twitched.
His bandaged right hand trembled slightly.
Danzo's Shock
"What…?"
For the first time, Danzo Shimura looked truly stunned.
His only visible eye narrowed, trying to process what he had just heard.
"Tsunade… you… you killed Homura and Koharu…?"
His hand clenched into a fist.
But deep inside—
For the first time in decades, Danzo felt fear.
The Root Members Panic
"W-What?! Lord Homura and Lady Koharu are dead?!"
"No way… just now?!"
"But those two were legends…!"
The Root members were shaken to their core.
They had known Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane their entire lives.
They had ruled alongside the Third Hokage for decades.
And now—
They were gone.
Just like that.
It all made sense now.
Why the three Anbu assigned to protect them had lost contact.
Why Tsunade and Nanaya had come here without hesitation.
Because this was not just an execution—
This was a purge.
Nanaya Draws His Blade
From above, Nanaya watched Danzo's expression twist in rage, fear, and disbelief.
"Enough talking."
With a sharp motion, the colossal Susanoo raised its right hand.
And in an instant—
A white tachi materialized.
To the massive Susanoo, it was nothing more than a small sword.
But to Danzo and the others—
It was a titanic blade of death.
The ground shook as Susanoo's form descended, positioning itself into a sword-drawing stance.
Then—
BOOM!
The very earth trembled beneath its weight.
The Execution Begins
And with one final glance, Nanaya's cold voice echoed—
"Danzo… your time is up."
