Chapter 563 - Bridge: I Almost Vanished

"Yo! Isn't this the great Hokage? Running away so fast, where are you headed?"

Sasuke walked leisurely while chasing, his chin held high, mocking arrogantly.

Danzō turned his head in disbelief.

He saw Sasuke, who should have been dead, actually alive again?!

The fear of death made him unable to think; how could Sasuke be alive again?

Now he only wanted to run!

Live and return to the village!

His dream of becoming Hokage for decades had just begun; how could it end here?

This must be a nightmare!

All of this is just a nightmare!

He must be dreaming!

Run away from here, wake up from the nightmare, everything will be alright!

Danzō kept lying to himself.

He ran with all his might towards the end of the bridge, each step leaving a trail of blood.

*Pu-chi!*

A shuriken flew from behind, piercing Danzō's back, making him stagger in pain.

Of course, it was Sasuke's throw.

He wanted to torture Danzō while savoring his revenge.

"Why are you getting slower? Out of energy already?"

*Pu-chi!*

Another shuriken pierced his back.

"When you were oppressing the entire Uchiha clan, you weren't like this, were you?"

*Pu-chi!*

"All for Konoha? It was all just for your own desires! The Uchiha were clearly part of the village!"

*Pu-chi!*

"Your evil cannot swallow my evil!"

*Pu-chi!*

Danzō kept running, Sasuke kept following.

One by one, shuriken were fired mercilessly; the already weakened Danzō couldn't dodge.

Quickly, his entire back was filled with shuriken, like a half-metal hedgehog.

The severely injured Danzō, how could he withstand such torture?

After running only a few hundred meters, Danzō, who had almost lost all his blood, could no longer run.

He fell to his knees, his face pale, panting heavily, clearly on the verge of death!

*Pu-chi!*

Sasuke appeared behind Danzō, Chidori Eisō flashed, cutting off Danzō's remaining left arm, while mocking:

"Why aren't you running anymore?"

"Given up already?"

"Struggle more for me!!!"

Danzō's resignation annoyed Sasuke; he wasn't satisfied yet! The 'stroll' wasn't over!

'How can you just lie there? Get up and keep running, keep suffering for your sins!'

But Danzō couldn't run; he had no more energy.

He turned his head towards Sasuke, his face full of despair and hatred, as if the wrongdoer wasn't him, but the entire Uchiha clan!

And everything that stood in his way of becoming Hokage...

"Uchiha Sasuke!"

"The Uchiha, born evil, the Second Hokage was right!"

"You all must die, all Uchiha must die!"

Danzō growled with a terrifying face. Even dying, his hatred for the Uchiha hadn't changed.

He didn't feel guilty. If anything was wrong, it was that he didn't kill all the Uchiha sooner!

They, as the Second Hokage said, were indeed born evil!

It was just that Danzō didn't have Tobirama's logic and self-control, even misinterpreting Tobirama's teachings and taking the wrong actions...

"Shut up!"

"Dying and still unrepentant!"

"Danzō, you trash, you're not worthy of being Hokage!"

Sasuke pressed Kusanagi against Danzō's neck, looking at him with disgust.

"Impossible!"

"Without you, without you all, I would definitely be the greatest Hokage!"

"Bastard."

"For the world, for Konoha, at least I'll take you with me!"

"Evil Uchiha, accompany me to hell!"

Danzō roared, in the certainty of death, humiliated by Sasuke to the point of losing his last shred of dignity.

He raged recklessly, activating the prepared Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!

The black mark of the 'Reverse Four Symbols Sealing' appeared on Danzō's chest, black inscribed blood spurted out, forming a ball.

This technique would seal everything around into the user's corpse!

Its range reached a hundred meters, a forbidden technique modified from the strongest Reverse Four Symbols Sealing!

At the end of his life. When all the power, status, and fame he prided himself on vanished.

Facing death, Danzō finally released all his desires and obsessions, truly reflecting on his ideals and the value of his death.

Or, forced to face death, facing his former self.

He even unconsciously remembered his best friend Hiruzen, remembering the 'Will of Fire' he once adhered to!

Although this couldn't erase all his sins. But now he truly wanted to bring one evil Uchiha and seal Shisui's Mangekyou!

At least Akatsuki wouldn't become stronger!

Soon, the black seal of the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing expanded and exploded.

Swallowing everything within a hundred-meter radius, including Sasuke who hadn't had time to escape!

'Success!'

'At least I sealed Sasuke and the Mangekyou Sharingan!'

'Hiruzen, wherever you are, I can't catch up to you...'

In Danzō's final resignation, the seal shrank, swallowing a part of the bridge into his body!

The next second, Danzō's consciousness suddenly awoke!

He looked around confusedly, finding himself still kneeling, his hand still cut off, Sasuke still behind him...

'What happened?'

'Wasn't I already dead?'

'My seal...'

'This is...'

Danzō was terrified, as if everything had returned to a few seconds ago! Before the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing was activated!

Itachi appeared beside Sasuke, muttering: "A sealing technique? Was this your last card for a suicide attack?"

Now, Danzō realized.

Everything was genjutsu!

He had never activated the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing! All the scenes just now were his illusions within the Tsukuyomi genjutsu!

He had already been caught in Itachi's genjutsu!

When?

Maybe when he and Sasuke were pierced by the Totsuka no Tsurugi? The shock caught him off guard, allowing him to be caught in Tsukuyomi.

No wonder Itachi, who had been negligent before, dared to let Sasuke 'stroll' with Danzō alone; it turned out everything was under his control...

"Itachi, you %&^...%..."

Danzō looked at Itachi with hatred but couldn't curse anymore.

*Pu-chi!*

Sasuke swung his sword, a flash of light.

Danzō, who still wanted to curse, felt the world spin, then lost consciousness forever.

Finally, the Parallel World 5's Hokage 5.5, Shimura Danzō — dead!

Also dead: the Samurai Bridge.
