The Pantheon of Nine
By: Finn Mertenz
A/N: Naruto's chakra-reserves are confirmed canon to be Kage-level by the very 1st episode in the series. I have spent 49 chapters hyping up Naruto's chakra-control, and while he isn't Sakura-level he is still far beyond his canon-self at this point.
This is the Naruto Retrieval Arc, if there was ever a time for him to be badass - it's right now.
This chapter takes place during episode 78 of Part 1 Naruto.
I should note that I personally consider Orochimaru's knowledge of the Sharingan to be unrivaled, even by Uchiha (Yes, that means Madara). The dude just research's everything, he studies everything, he examines everything, so that gives me a plot device for Sharingan stuff.
In regards to the whole Hashirama DNA cells canon-plot point, I actually love that idea and have no problem with it. With that in mind, I will be expanding on that concept slightly.
Finally, I understand the lore behind Kotoamatsukami and how any person who used it beside Shisui had to wait 10 years in behind each usage. Except Danzo who had the cells of Hashirama that reduced this wait time - making it only 1 day.
However, I don't like Hashirama cells being OP, if anyone's cells are OP it should be Hiruzen's. But with that in mind I'm treating it to where Danzo's Kotoamatsukami can only be used once a year.

Chapter 50: For The Good Of Konoha! In The Name Of Justice.
Over 50 separate Anbu surrounded the pair of Jinchūriki as they stood upon a pillar of sand in the dark underground of the foundation. At the same time, the sound of multiple blades being unsheathed echoed through the darkness.
This action was followed by a tense period of silence as Naruto closed both eyes while attempting to soothe his rage. During this silence, both Fu and Torune looked at one another before nodding in agreement.
Suddenly, several dozen Kunai were thrown at the pair of Jinchūriki, forcing a giant ball of sand to instantly incase Naruto and Gaara. Afterwards, several of the nearby Anbu pressed both hands together before weaving through various different seals.
"Water Style: Raging Waves!" Several different Anbu pronounced in unison before spewing multiple streams of chakra-filled water out from their mask-covered mouths.
This water then shot out before colliding it's Gaara's pillar of sand, forcing multiple clumps of wet sand to fall against the ground as the pillar slowly collapsed. At the same time, the ball of sand incasing both Jinchūriki broke off before rising into the air.
Using his unparalleled control of sand, Gaara created multiple jagged wet clumps of sand that impaled several Anbu as they fell. During this, over a dozen Kunai lodged themselves against the exterior of Gaara's sand ball, all of which carried an explosive tag.
Within seconds, the Kanji sprawled across these tags began to glow before erupting into a fierce series of explosions. These explosions caused several hundred grains of sand to rain through the air before revealing a partially concealed Gaara and Naruto.
As these grains of sand floated through the air, they instantly shifted into hundreds of rock-like sand balls that began to fall down like hail. Upon impact, these balls of sand began to clump and cling against everything they touched, even several Anbu.
While the pair of Jinchūriki continued to stand in the partially collapsed ball of floating sand, Gaara raised both arms to the ceiling before twisting them in several different angles. This action forced multiple streams of sand to break off from the ground before rising into the air.
Suddenly, 3 separate Anbu began running up the distant dark wall before leaping into the air while thrusting their swords out. Because of Gaara's ultimate defense, streams of nearby sand broke off before crushing 2 Anbu in midair.
Because these opponents were members of the elite Root Foundation, a single Bear-masked Anbu was able to slip through the sand. After evading several streams, Bear managed to slice his blade mere inches away from Gaara's face.
At this moment, Naruto abruptly grabbed Bear's wrist with his right hand, causing the sound of bones snapping to fill the air. This pain was so intense that Bear fell down on both knees while dropping his sword, allowing sand to partially wrap around his body.
As Bear glanced up in between this agony, Naruto opened both his Rinnegan eyes just in time to hypnotize this high-ranking Anbu. This action forced a pair of Rinnegan to pulsate and throb throughout Bear's mind, causing his body to twitch as sand completely engulfed him.
Naruto then jumped from Gaara's sand before descending over 20ft to the ground, avoiding multiple Kunai as he fell. After landing, a Dragon-masked appeared infront of the blond before slicing his sword out in a horizontal fashion, only for Naruto to catch the blade with his bare left hand.
This attack cut into Naruto palm, causing blood to drip atop the nearby ground before steam began pouring from his wound, healing it instantly. During this, Bear's sword shook and trembled several times as Naruto's grip on his blade continued to tighten.
Soon, Naruto's grip managed to break Bear's sword in half, causing multiple tiny fragments of broken steel to fill the air. Afterwards, Naruto grabbed Bear by the throat before squeezing down, forcing the elite Anbu to gag.
"Fu..." Danzo mumbled, causing his subordinate to instantly nod in response.
"Yes, my Lord." Fu replied before pressing both hands into the Yamanaka clan Seal while staring at Naruto.
Mind Transfer Jutsu! As these thoughts raced, Fu's line of vision shot out while Naruto's Rinnegan noticed the substantial build-up in chakra.
At the last moment, Naruto held the gagging Bear infront of his body, forcing Fu's technique to infect his fellow Anbu. At the same time, the real Fu fell half-way to the ground before Torune caught him.
Before Fu could even process whose body he was in, Naruto quickly impaled the Anbu through his chest, causing fresh blood to stain his chakra-rod. Because of a side-effect to the Mind Transfer Jutsu, the real Fu died as a result from Bear dying.
"Torune, use your jutsu." Danzo ordered, causing Torune to abruptly drop Fu's corpse before raising each of his gloved-fingertips to his mouth.
Suddenly, Torune bit into these fingertips before pulling both gloves off, revealing each of his hands were dark Purple. This action caused each of Naruto's Rinnegan to narrow as he observed Torune's odd hands, both of which were devoid of chakra.
At this moment, Naruto threw Bear's corpse to the ground before charging forward, forcing the earth underneath to crack with each step. In response to this, Danzo pressed both hands together before quietly weaving through the Rat, Snake, Horse and Dog Seals.
Danzo then took a deep breathe before he began to exhale while tilting and turning his head in multiple directions. During this, a nearby Torune entered a Taijutsu stance while directing each of his Purple hands at the approaching Naruto.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Blast!" Danzo spoke in between the gusts of compressed air shooting out from his mouth.
As these gusts of wind surged out, they managed to cut into the very earth while unrooting several sections of dirt. Despite the sheer strength and power of this technique, it managed to completely bypass Torune.
While this technique rush towards the charging Naruto, several nearby Anbu saw their chance to attack. This realization forced various Anbu to weave through separate symbols while others threw Shuriken or Kunai.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu! Ninja Art: Shuriken Shadow Clone Jutsu! Lightning Style: Lightning Strike!" Various different Anbu pronounced in unison before firing their techniques from separate directions.
This fierce combination of jutsu and weapons left Naruto completely surrounded as he continued to charge forward, ignoring the danger all around him. As these attacks surged mere inches away from Naruto, both of his Rinnegan eyes bulged and expanded.
This action created an unseen forced that pushed out in all directions from Naruto, deflecting multiple weapons while jutsu was dispersed in midair. Afterwards, it became apparent that Naruto was still charging forward, completely unaffected by the previous attacks.
"Uh...?!" Torune gasped from behind his insect-mask, shocked at this display of power.
"Lord Danzo, I'm ending this now!" As he spoke, Torune pulled off his Black robes before throwing them to the ground.
This process revealed a long-sleeve black shirt that Torune wore underneath his Anbu robe, a shirt he quickly took off. During this, Torune's entire upper body shifted to a dark Purple color, similar to his hands.
"Poison Cloud Jutsu." After speaking, Torune loudly clapped both hands together before a small sphere of beetles to form in between his palms.
After creating this technique, Torune took a deep breathe before exhaling into his hands, forcing several thousand beetles to surge into the air. This action caused multiple streams of insects to rush towards Naruto, insects that were famed for their deadly venom.
At this moment, a distant Gaara loudly clapped both of his flat palms together, forcing a wave of sand to form underneath Naruto's feet. This sand then crashed over Torune's swarm of beetles, crushing them into the ground. Usually, Torune's venomous beetles were so fierce and deadly that any living creature would die on impact. But Gaara's sand was beyond that weakness, giving him the perfect advantage against Torune.
As this wave of sand crashed into the ground, Naruto jumped over 10ft into the air, allowing him to soar over Torune. The elite Anbu was so focused on Naruto that he failed to notice a stream of sand erupt out from the ground before crushing him.
However, as Torune's body exploded with blood, the liquid quickly morphed into several thousand flying beetles, a result of the Insect Clone Technique. During this, Naruto landed on the ground just in time for the real Torune to form behind him.
"Wind Style: Wind Wave." Danzo spoke before waving his right hand through the air in a horizontal fashion.
This action forced a chakra-filled slash of wind to erupt out from Danzo's right palm, creating a dense breeze that blew towards Naruto. In response to this, Naruto jumped forward while rotating his body in a clockwise fashion, dodging Torune's attack before sinking into the earth below.
This caused Danzo's Wind Style technique to crash against Torune, slamming the elite Anbu back into Gaara's shifting sand. Unlike before, Torune was unable to produce an Insect Clone in time, allowing him to be completely engulfed and swallowed by Gaara's sand.
"Hmm, you have plenty of stamina as well..." Danzo mumbled, making a mental note of Naruto's vast chakra-reserves, something he personally contributed to the Rinnegan.
At this moment, a clenched-hand of sand formed in the air above Danzo before surging down, crushing the earth into several dozen boulders. As these sections of earth flew through the air, a calm Danzo landed atop one of the hovering boulders.
After jumping out from underground, Naruto clapped both hands into the Tiger Seal while inhaling a staggering amount of air. This action forced each of his shoulders to rise while both cheeks puffed out.
"Water Style: Liquid Bullets." Naruto exhaled before several dozen chakra-filled bullets of water spewed from his mouth at high velocity.
While surging forward, these liquid bullets managed to destroy multiple chunks of floating earth before impacting Danzo's location, forcing the elder Shinobi to jump. As he descended through the air, Danzo managed to dodge several streams of sand, utilizing decades of Shinobi experience.
At this moment, Naruto directed his flat right palm towards Danzo before the very earth infront of him uprooted itself as some unseen shockwave rippled out. While surging forward, Danzo watched as portions of dense stone were crushed into dust in a matter of seconds.
At the last moment, Danzo managed to avoid this unseen shockwave by jumping over 20ft into the air. As he hovered through the air, Danzo quietly pressed both hands into the Tiger Seal before weaving through the Dog Seal.
Suddenly, multiple streams of sand shot out before grabbing each of Danzo's legs and dragging he down. Soon, Danzo was completely engulfed by sand before being pulled underground and crushed.
"A pair of Jinchūriki working together, this is a dangerous thing." Danzo remarked as he stood in between multiple Anbu.
As Danzo stood, the bandage over his right eye was still missing while every serious or fatal injury was completely gone. During this, Gaara's eyes bulged while each of Naruto's Rinnegan narrowed.
Genjutsu...? No, it's that technique. Naruto concluded, causing his tongue to slither out his mouth before licking each of his lips
Naruto's extended memories of Orochimaru gave him the distinct habit of licking both lips anytime he thought about the Sharingan. These memories also allowed him to fully comprehend and understand Danzo's jutsu, one of the most forbidden Sharingan techniques ever known, Izanagi.
"To think, you possess the Pupils of Six Paths yet you're still so blind to the true nature of this world." Danzo spoke as one of the 3-tomoe Sharingan on his right arm slowly began to close.
"What do you think this will serve? Revenge? Justice? As a child, you cannot understand either of these concepts." As he spoke, a distant Gaara was using his sand to fight off multiple Anbu.
"You don't give a damn about the truth in this world, you just want to hurt people in some misguided attempt to ease your own failures." While he spoke, Naruto's face became partially concealed by shadows.
"You defile the sacrifice made by Shisui." After he spoke, Danzo held his right arm horizontally infront of his face, causing 5 separate 3-tomoe Sharingan to stare at Naruto.
"You have no right to even talk about Shisui!" Naruto protested before hurling a 3-pronged Kunai through the air, causing the object to fly towards Danzo.
This weapon then flew past Danzo's face before Naruto instantly appeared before the elderly Shinobi, gripping the Kunai with his left hand. This high-level of speed was a result of the Flying Thunder God technique, allowing him to move at speeds far beyond Anbu or Kage-level.
As Naruto hovered in between this group of Anbu protecting Danzo, a small rotating sphere of Purple chakra swirled into existence in the center of his right palm. The force of this rotation was so powerful that it could even be heard through the air, finally alerting the nearby Anbu that Naruto was right beside them.
Soon, the force of rotation in this technique grew so powerful that shockwaves of wind resonated on in all directions while Naruto hurled his right palm forward. At this moment, the chakra in Naruto's hand tripled in size, becoming a ball-sized rotating sphere of Purple chakra that appeared to be spinning in several direct at once.
"Rasengan!" As he spoke, Danzo turned around just in time for Naruto to slam his rotating sphere of chakra against the elderly opponents stomach.
The force of this blow instantly tore through Danzo's cloths as he gripped Naruto's wrist with his left hand, attempting to with-stand this S-rank technique. Soon, the force of this blow forced Danzo to lose his grip. before flying back over 30ft while his entire body rotated in a counter-clockwise fashion.
Suddenly, each of the surrounding Anbu unsheathed their blades before striking them on in various directions, aiming for Naruto. In response to this, both of Naruto's Rinnegan bulged, forcing some unseen force to overwhelm each of the nearby Anbu, sending them flying back.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Blade!" Danzo declared after appearing behind Naruto, devoid of any and all injuries.
This statement forced a shocked Naruto to turn around just in time to notice a rotating Shuriken empowered by wind-infused chakra swirling towards him. The wind attached to this Shuriken resembled a light green color while extending the range and power of Danzo's attack.
With his eyes unable to react in time, Naruto was forced to sidestep too the right, barely able to dodge Danzo's technique. During this, Danzo began twirling 3 other Shuriken around his fingertips while blowing wind-infused chakra into the objects.
Danzo then hurled each of these objects at Naruto while another 3-tomoe Sharingan slowly began to close on his right arm, giving him only 7 left. As these Shuriken approached Naruto, each of his Rinnegan eyes bulged, dispersing the chakra-filled weapons in midair before knocking them to the ground.
Naruto then quickly charged at Danzo while a chakra-rod phase out from his right palm. Afterwards, Naruto sliced this weapon out in a horizontal slash, forcing Danzo to jump up before preforming a backflip in midair.
After landing, Danzo was forced to barrel roll to the left, allowing him to avoid an impaling jab from Naruto's chakra-rod. After regaining his balance, Danzo was then forced to preform multiple backflips while Naruto sliced his chakra-rod out in various directions and angles.
Suddenly, Danzo found himself gripped by some unseen force in midair before he was pulled towards Naruto. This action allowed Naruto to easily impale Danzo through the chest before tossing him to the ground and stomping on his throat.
After several seconds, this corpse of Danzo slowly began to fade before he completely disappeared, as if he was never there at all. This action was followed by a tense silence before Naruto slowly turned around, allowing him to glare at a shadowy figure in the distance.
"Just give up." Danzo spoke as one of the 3-tomoe Sharingan on his right arm slowly began to close.
This statement caused Naruto to partially close both eyes while down casting his face slightly. During this, the sound of painful screams could be heard in the distance as Gaara used sand to crush several Anbu to death.
At this moment, both of Naruto's Rinnegan slowly opened before bulging widely as he glared at Danzo. Suddenly, Naruto stomped his right foot into the ground before he began charging forward, crushing the earth with each step.
"Do not mock the foundation!" A pair of 2 separate Anbu screamed in unison after appearing in between Danzo and the charging Naruto.
Each of these Shinobi then unsheathed their swords before an Owl-masked Anbu sliced his blade out in a horizontal slash, only for Naruto to duck his head under this attack. Filled by rage, Naruto managed to hurl his clenched right fists into Owl's stomach, forcing the Anbu to gag as spit flew on his mouth.
As Naruto's fist dug into Owl's stomach, a Black chakra-rod instantly phase out from his palm before impaling the elite Anbu with remarkable speed. Afterwards, Naruto tossed this limp corpse against the approaching blade from the nearby Coyote-masked Anbu.
This action forced Coyote to accidently slash his blade into Owl's corpse, causing his weapon to get stuck in his body as a result. Unable to pull his blade loose, Coyote failed to prevent Naruto from grabbing him by the throat before ripping his soul out in mere seconds.
Suddenly, multiple Anbu appeared in the air all around Naruto while slicing their weapons down towards the blond. This attack forced both of Naruto's Rinnegan to bulge before an unseen force overwhelmed each of the surrounding Anbu, pushing them back.
Soon, Danzo appeared directly behind Naruto before thrusting a Kunai held in his left hand forward, aiming for Naruto's back. In response to this, Naruto attempted to turn around before he became crippled by some unknown power.
At this moment, several dozen Black Hexagram Seals and symbols began to sprawl across Naruto's body, spreading out from his left wrist. This action completely paralyzed Naruto before Danzo's Kunai successfully pierced his back.
"You have a good form, and a great technique... But you're still just a child acting like an adult." Danzo spoke as the Hexagram Seals across Naruto's body prevented him from moving at all.
A Curse Seal that paralyzes the body...? Naruto asked himself, even the extensive memories of Orochimaru were unable to provide knowledge about this technique.
"Uh..." As he gasped, Naruto thought about when he preformed the Rasengan against Danzo, a time when the elderly Shinobi grabbed his wrist.
He placed it on me back then! As these thoughts raced, Danzo's was forced to jump back over 10ft as Naruto's wound instantly healed.
This high-level of regeneration created multiple jets of steam that poured out from Naruto's wound before his skin reattached and merged back together. After landing, Danzo picked up a discarded short-sword from one of the nearby Anbu corpses before walking towards Naruto.
Suddenly, an aura of Purple chakra began molding across Naruto's body while multiple shockwaves rippled out through the air. This action garnished the attention of several Anbu while they and a distant Gaara were embroiled in fierce combat.
This level of chakra cracked the surrounding earth as Danzo's feet slide back several inches, unable to withstand these chakra-filled shockwaves. At the same time, multiple Anbu became shocked and awed at this display of chakra.
"Impossible...!" A Dog-masked Anbu mumbled while his Black robes wavered intensely from these chakra-filled shockwaves.
"The level of his chakra is crushing!" A Skunk-masked Anbu screamed as portions of nearby earth cracked under Naruto's chakra.
"His chakra...! It's too intense!" An Otter-masked Anbu panicked while holding both arms infront of his mask.
By releasing such a concentrated amount of chakra, the multiple Hexagram Seals sprawled across Naruto's body began to fade. Soon, each of this markings completely disappeared before Naruto tilted his head too the right, popping several bones.
For him to break the Cursed Seal... Is this the Rinnegan, or the 9-tails? Danzo asked himself as the previous shockwaves of chakra finally began to stabilize.
"Uh...?!" As he mumbled, Danzo's mouth fell open once Naruto turned around and stared directly into the elder Shinobi's left eye.
This action forced a pair of Rinnegan eyes to pierce Danzo's train of thought before pulsating throughout his mind. For several moments these eyes completely paralyzed Danzo before a chakra-rod was impaled through his chest, bringing him back to reality.
This attack caused Danzo to spit up multiple drops of blood that stained Naruto's face before he was tossed to the ground. Within seconds, this corpse completely disappeared while the fresh blood across Naruto's face vanished, as if it was never there.
"You cannot win." The voice of Danzo echoed as he appeared over 20ft infront of Naruto.
Soon, one of the 3-tomoe Sharingan on Danzo's right arm slowly began to close, causing each of Naruto's Rinnegan to narrow as he observed. After this eye closed, Naruto noticed that Danzo only had 5 Sharingan left in his arm while Shisui's wasn't even being used.
This realization caused Naruto to crouch down on 1-knee before slamming both palms into the ground below. Upon contact, multiple Black Kanji circles sprawled out from each hand before staining the ground.
"Summoning Jutsu." Naruto declared before an explosion of smoke erupted from each of his hands.
These smoke clouds were over 20ft tall, completely concealing Naruto from view while a distant Danzo narrowed his only real eye. Suddenly, a house-sized Ox charged out from this smoke cloud, causing the ground to shake while it advanced.
The appearance of this beast was similar to an average Ox except for several Black chakra-rod that pierced it's body in multiple areas. Also, it's entire body was covered in Brown fur with round Black horns protruding from it's forehead and a small, bushy tail.
Finally, the most prominent and unique feature of this beast were the Rinnegan eyes it possessed, giving it a linked vision with Naruto. The size and power of this summoning garnished the attention of multiple Anbu who attempted to help their Lord, only for Gaara's sand to crush each of them to death.
As this beast charge, Danzo quietly pressed both hands into the Rat Seal before weaving through the Dog and Tiger Seals. Afterwards, the elderly Shinobi crouched down while slamming both hands into the ground below.
"Wood Style: Domed Wall Jutsu!" Danzo proclaimed as several wooden pillars shot out from the ground in a horizontal fashion before interlocking with one another.
At this moment, the massive Ox buried it's horns into Danzo's jutsu, causing a fierce pillar of dust and debris to rupture out in all directions. During this, the smoke cloud covering Naruto finally dissipated before revealing a 20ft long Centipede coiled around the blond like a snake.
This giant centipede was one of the more unique creatures Naruto ever summoned, it's body was solid Black while it's face and feet were all Orange. Similar to all his summoning's, multiple chakra-rods covered this beast with the most prominent being a large spear-like rod struck through it's skull.
This large centipede also possessed the Rinnegan, allowing Naruto to share a linked vision with his summoning. This creature then began to hiss as the cloud of debris from Naruto's previous attack finally began to stabilize.
Suddenly, the noise of wood snapping filled the air before the sound of muffled footsteps could be heard. After several moments, Danzo walked out from this cloud of debris before revealing the entire right sleeve of his shirt had fallen loose.
That's Wood Style... Now I remember. Naruto thought as the massive centipede coiled around him clicked it's limbs multiple times.
Orochimaru... You really keep in close contact with Danzo. As these thoughts progressed, 4 distinct faces became recognizable across Danzo's right shoulder.
You implanted the cells of the 1st, the 2nd, the 3rd and even the 4th Hokage all into Danzo's right arm. While thinking, Danzo began charging at Naruto with Kage-level speed.
No wonder he's able to control so many Sharingan... He's gained increased physical stamina, higher chakra-reserves, a wider range of jutsu and greater chakra control. During these thoughts, Naruto's massive centipede uncoiled itself before surging towards Danzo, causing the sound of it's numerous footsteps to fill the air.
As Danzo charged forward, he used his right hand to pull a Kunai loose before holding the object infront of his face. During this, Danzo took a deep breathe before exhaling a condensed breeze of chakra-filled wind that twisted and molded around his weapon.
This power was a result of the Wind Style: Vacuum Blade technique, giving Danzo's Kunai increased ranged and power. Using his decades of experience, Danzo managed to jump over the attacking centipede before slicing his wind-infused blade down.
The power of this wind allowed Danzo's attack to cut clean through the large centipede before continuing his charge at Naruto. As Danzo approached, a chakra-rod phased out from Naruto's right palm before he gripped the object like a sword.
Taijutsu? He is trying to conserve chakra? As the thoughts raced, Naruto used his chakra-rod to parry numerous strikes swung towards him by Danzo.
I can't believe Danzo let Orochimaru use him as a test subject... Just to test the extent of Izanagi. While thinking, Danzo swung his wind-infused blade at Naruto's skull only to be stopped by some unseen force.
This force quickly disarmed Danzo before pushing him back over 20ft, causing him to flip and roll before he managed to preform 3 separate backflips. As Danzo hovered backwards, he quietly pressed both hands into the Rat Seal before weaving through the Tiger, Dog, Ox, Rabbit and Tiger Seals.
"Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!" Danzo exhaled before spewing out several hundred miniature fireballs of condensed chakra-filled flames, preforming a Kage-level feat.
The Sharingan that uses Izanagi will lose it's light, and never open again... But with that many eyes, his use of the technique varies. Naruto analyzed Danzo while extending his left hand out, allow him to absorb various separate fireballs, fueling his own chakra.
Even so, I can't allow him to keep Shisui's Sharingan. As these thoughts progressed, Naruto's tongue once again slithered out his mouth before licking both lips, a force of habit.
Hmm, It seems that the Sand Jinchūriki won't be able to participate in this battle. Danzo concluded as a distant Gaara was fighting off numerous Anbu.
Which means I can focus entirely on this child, but I cannot be taken off guard... Nor can I just kill this boy, doing so would cause Konoha to lose the 9-tails. While the elderly Shinobi pondered his next course of action, he glanced down at the 5 remaining Sharingan on his arm.
Also, I have to reserve some chakra for afterwards... Tomorrow I will use Shisui's right eye to force the Daimyō into electing me as the 5th Hokage, I can't become distracted here. As these thoughts raced, the sound of a distant Gaara killing Anbu could be heard.
Further more, since I must keep Shisui's eye for tomorrow, I can't use it on this child... I wouldn't have enough time to recover. While thinking, Danzo narrowed his one real eye.
However... This child won't be easy to deal with, his defense is hard to bypass while his offense is difficult to evade... And, I still can't release Izanagi yet. As Danzo thought about his next attack, the face of Hiruzen floated through his mind.
I'll have to gamble on this next moment, and do what must be done... For the good of Konoha. After these thoughts finished, Danzo quickly bit into his right index finger before calmly placing it against his left palm.
"Summoning Jutsu." Danzo's voice echoed before a dense pillar of smoke engulfed his entire body.
Suddenly, 4 separate claws dug into the earth before a large Elephant-like trunk waved through the cloud of smoke. After this dense smoke cloud finally stabilized, it became apparent that Danzo's creature easily dwarfed anything Naruto ever summoned. This creature was a gigantic elephantine chimera with dark-Orange fur lining everything except it's trunk and legs. Finally, it possessed sharp tiger-like claws with bandages wrapped around it's head similar to Danzo.
"HUUU!" This large creature known as Baku roared, spewing pillars of steam loose from his trunk.
This creature shook the entire foundation hideout as the ground rumbled underneath while steam rose into the air. The volume of this roar was so loud that Gaara and the surrounding Anbu all turned to observe this new summoning.
I am the 5th Hokage... In the name of Konoha, I cannot fail. Danzo concluded as the nearby Baku continued to roar.
Danzo always spent his entire life directing Konoha from the shadows as a true Shinobi, but now he finally had his chance to stand as Hokage. This realization fueled determination into the elder Shinobi, fully aware that the battle had only just begun.
