Chapter 580

A powerful aura erupts from Han's body, and a scarlet, evil chakra bubbling with foam continuously surges out from him; almost instantly, a layer of red, viscous membrane forms around Han's body.

To this, Danzo's expression changes slightly, and his cold eyes flash once.

With his discernment, he naturally recognizes at a glance why the change in Han's body has occurred.

"Jinchuriki!!!!"

Danzo is greatly shocked, and the intention to retreat already sprouts in his heart.

At this point in time, Jinchuriki have always been hidden as top-secret intelligence by the major ninja villages.

So even Shimura Danzo, who controls Konoha's Root, does not know that the Iwagakure steam ninja, Han, is actually the Jinchuriki of the Five-Tails.

"Hah, hah!!!!"

"Roar!!!!"

A roar of pain, like that of a wild beast, erupted from Han's mouth; his tall body suddenly hunched over as he collapsed to the ground, gasping in constant agony.

As the Tailed Beast chakra slowly seeps out from the cells of his body, he must endure the pain of every inch of his skin being scorched away by the Tailed Beast cloak.

In an instant, a monster exuding an evil aura, on all fours, with five tails behind it, appears before everyone's eyes.

Jinchuriki: Partial Tailed Beast Transformation, Tailed Beast Cloak Form!

Danzo looks at Han, who has transformed into a partial Tailed Beast state, his eyes flickering with uncertainty.

In his sinister eyes, there is reluctance and fear, as well as evil and greed.

The reluctance lies in the fact that Danzo believes in his heart that if the battle had continued to develop as it was, he would have eventually been able to take Han down and earn a significant merit.

And the reason for the fear is that, as the leader of Konoha's Root organization, Danzo clearly knows the terror of Tailed Beasts.

The Han before him is like a ticking time bomb; once it explodes and releases the full form of the Tailed Beast, I am afraid that no one here will be able to escape unscathed.

With Danzo's strength, suppressing a full-form Tailed Beast is likely still somewhat difficult.

Danzo's evil greed stems from his covetousness for the Five-Tails.

Once Han's identity as a Jinchuriki is exposed, the significance it symbolizes is completely different.

If Danzo can successfully capture the Five-Tails Jinchuriki here, it is not just a matter of making a great contribution.

If he can successfully hold the Five-Tails in his hands, he will possess a trump card to contend with Hiruzen Sarutobi within the village of Konoha.

After thinking it over repeatedly, Danzo still prepares to slip away, and the reason is also very simple.

Tailed Beasts are certainly good things, but if one is not careful, it is easy to play with fire and get burned.

It's a pity.

It is better to be careful and sail for ten thousand years.

Just as Danzo is preparing to turn tail and run, the situation on the field changes once again.

"Brothers, charge!"

Following a shout, a burly ninja, leading a group of ninja wearing Takigakure headbands, suddenly kills his way out from behind the Iwagakure ninja, cutting off their retreat.

At the same time, another young ninja wearing a Takigakure headband suddenly falls from high in the air, using the kunai in his hand to decapitate an Iwagakure ninja with a single slash.

"My lord ninja from Konoha, we have come specifically to lend you a hand."

"Let us slay this evil thief named Han here!"

The leading young ninja says through gritted teeth, his gaze toward Han filled with bone-deep hatred.

Instantly, the young Takigakure ninja forms seals with one hand.

Takigakure Style: Water Sword!

A clear stream suddenly appears in the air, condensing in the young ninja's hand to become a Water Sword available for use.

Takigakure Style: Water Sword: Dance of the Waves!

The young ninja swings the Water Sword in his hand, and three slash marks formed by high-pressure water currents slash mercilessly toward the surrounding Iwagakure ninja.

"Pfft!"

Wherever the Water Sword passes, the Iwagakure ninja struck are unable to resist.

It can be seen that the young Takigakure ninja's strength is very good; he should be at the level of an Elite Jonin.

After finishing off several Iwagakure ninja beside him, the Takigakure youth does not stop and continues to kill toward other Iwagakure ninja.

Even though this group of Takigakure ninja sees Han, who is already in a partial Tailed Beast state, they still do not have the slightest fear.

This group of Takigakure ninja who suddenly popped up causes Danzo's gaze to undergo a subtle change......

From this Takigakure ninja's tone, he can judge that perhaps there exists some irreconcilable hatred between this group of Takigakure ninja and the steam ninja Han before him, and they are likely here for revenge.

Such things are common in the ninja world, but to have enemies come knocking at this critical juncture.

It is hard to say whether it is the misfortune of these Takigakure ninja or the misfortune of Han.

At first, Danzo was still alert, worried about whether this might be a trick by Iwagakure, but as he watched the ruthless way this group of Takigakure ninja dealt with the Iwagakure ninja, Danzo gradually wavered.

With Danzo's discernment, it is not hard to see that among this group of Takigakure ninja, apart from the leading young ninja whose strength is good and should be at the level of an Elite Jonin.

The other ninja are not of much use, their strength is mediocre, and this also conforms to the characteristics of ninja from small countries.

Although the strength of Takigakure is enough to dominate among a group of small countries, the gap is not just a little bit when compared to the Great Nations.

But even so, in the current subtle battle situation, the addition of an Elite Jonin-level combat force is enough to change the current form.

And with these Takigakure ninja as targets, Danzo, who is lurking in the back, can easily reap the benefits.

With his strength, plus the assistance of an Elite Jonin, it is very likely that he could really capture the Five-Tails before him!

As for why such deep hatred would exist between Takigakure and Iwagakure, making this young Takigakure ninja willing to risk his life for revenge against Han, Danzo does not find it strange.

The Land of Waterfalls is adjacent to the Land of Earth, and it is perfectly normal for friction to occur between the two sides over time.

Coupled with the fact that Takigakure's political stance is already more inclined toward Konoha, the relationship between Konoha and Takigakure has always been extremely harmonious.

If the youth before him is truly from Takigakure, then he is, to a certain extent, worthy of Danzo's "trust."

Appearances can be disguised, and headbands can be faked.

But only ninjutsu cannot be faked.

The ninjutsu used by this Takigakure youth is indeed a unique ninjutsu of Takigakure Village; this kind of ninjutsu that turns water into a sword is the only one of its kind in the ninja world.

Once the flame of greed in his heart is ignited, it will become difficult to extinguish.

At this moment, looking at Han not far away, who has already turned into the appearance of a monster, a flash of heat passes through Danzo's eyes.

As the saying goes: take a gamble, and a bicycle becomes a motorcycle!

At this moment, Danzo can no longer suppress the greed in his heart and completely cuts off the thought of wanting to escape deep in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 582 =====
