Chapter 729 Stop
He paused, a profound look flashing in his eyes, "Moreover, I suspect that Nightfall was instructed by Danzo."
Upon hearing this, Minato felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that Danzo's ambitions had never ceased.
……
"Uchiha Shokai! Prepare to die!" Hei Ye roared, giving Shokai no chance to breathe, and immediately unleashed his sword technique!
The blade flashed through the air like lightning, carrying with it powerful genjutsu chakra. The swordsmanship in the night was sharp and precise; wherever the blade passed, the air rippled almost imperceptibly.
Zhang Hai's Sharingan activated instantly as he attempted to capture the genjutsu trajectory within the Black Night Sword Technique. However, the Black Night Sword Technique was far too exquisite, perfectly blending genjutsu and swordsmanship, making it impossible to defend against.
"Buzz!"
A flash of light, and Zhang Hai's body trembled violently. He felt his consciousness instantly pulled into an illusion. He saw himself in an illusion of a leaf dancing in the wind, everything around him becoming blurry.
As darkness fell, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes as he seized the moment when the illusion controlled Zhang Hai. He charged at Zhang Hai, his katana aimed directly at Zhang Hai's heart! He was about to deliver a fatal blow and kill Zhang Hai completely!
"Konoha Style·Yanagi!"
Hei Ye roared, the katana in his hand as supple yet sharp as a willow branch. The blade traced a strange arc in the air, carrying a powerful killing intent, as it thrust towards Zhang Hai's heart!
The power of the swordsmanship was terrifying; wherever the blade passed, the air was torn apart.
"No!" Tsunade exclaimed, trying to rush forward to stop them, but she was blocked by the Four Purple Flame Formation.
Minato was equally shocked. He hadn't expected that Konoha would use a sword technique of the level of Konoha Ryuu.
The Third Hokage watched the swordsmanship in the darkness, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes. "Konoha Ryuu... These are the only two people in the village who can use this swordsmanship... Besides Sakumo, it's only him..." he murmured to himself.
He knew that Konoha Ryuu was one of the most exquisite sword techniques in the Konoha-ryu school, combining gentleness and power, unpredictable in its variations, and incredibly powerful. Those who could master this technique were true masters of swordsmanship.
Looking at the Black Night's sharp swordsmanship and then at Danzo's gloomy expression, the Third Hokage felt a sense of unease. He knew that the Black Night must have received Danzo's permission to use such a trump card.
……
The katana in Hei Ye's hand was aimed directly at Zhang Hai's heart! The air was torn apart wherever the blade passed, carrying a powerful killing intent.
However, just as the blade was about to pierce Zhang Hai, Zhang Hai's body trembled violently, and his Sharingan instantly activated, the blade-shaped pupils of the Mangekyou Sharingan spinning rapidly.
"break!"
Zhang Hai roared, his voice filled with rage and killing intent. His White Fang Blade was drawn from its sheath like lightning!
"Qiang!"
The sound of the blade being drawn was like a dragon's roar, and a silver flash streaked through the air. Zhang Hai's swordsmanship was sharp and precise, as fast as lightning.
"puff!"
A flash of light, and blood splattered. Hei Ye's right arm jerked violently, and the katana slipped from his grasp. His right arm had been severed by Zhang Hai's blade!
"Ah—!" Hei Ye let out a painful scream, his face filled with shock and fear. He hadn't expected Zhang Hai to be able to counterattack within the illusion, and even sever his arm with a single strike!
Zhang Hai gave Hei Ye no chance to catch his breath. His figure shot out again like a ghost, the White Fang Blade drawing a strange arc in the air.
"puff!"
A flash of light, and blood gushed forth. The tongue of the night had been severed by Zhang Hai with a single stroke!
"Ugh... Ugh..." Hei Ye couldn't make a sound; his face was filled with pain and despair. He wanted to use the Water Transformation Technique, but he couldn't because of the excruciating pain and disordered chakra.
Zhang Hai looked at Hei Ye's pained expression without a trace of pity. He knew this was the punishment Hei Ye deserved.
He raised the White Fang Blade once more, its tip pointing straight at the heart of the night!
"Three strikes to take a life!" Zhang Hai's voice was cold and ruthless.
"Pfft!"
The sound of a blade piercing flesh rang out, and the White Fang Blade instantly pierced the heart of Night. Blood gushed from Night's mouth like a fountain, his body shuddered violently, and then collapsed limply to the ground, utterly lifeless.
Zhang Hai stared at the fallen figure in the darkness, his eyes filled with hatred and satisfaction. He had avenged his teacher! He had personally killed one of the masterminds behind it all!
……
The Third Hokage watched Zhang Hai's actions with shock and rage on his face. He hadn't expected Zhang Hai to be so cruel, to brutally murder Hei Ye!
"Zhang Hai! What are you doing?!" The Third Hokage roared, his voice filled with rage.
He turned to the surrounding Anbu ninja and ordered, "Anbu, listen to my command! Arrest Uchiha Akira immediately!"
"Yes!" The ANBU ninjas accepted the order and quickly dispersed, surrounding Zhang Hai.
Looking into Zhang Hai's cold, murderous eyes, Minato felt a surge of shock and sorrow. He knew that Zhang Hai was completely blinded by hatred. He had tried to stop it all, but ultimately failed.
Tsunade was filled with worry when she saw the Anbu surrounding Zhang Hai. She wanted to rush forward to plead for him, but was interrupted by the stern look in the Third Hokage's eyes.
The Third Hokage shook his head at Tsunade, signaling her to be quiet. He knew this was not the time to plead. Zhang Hai had completely lost control.
Danzo watched as Zhang Hai was surrounded by the Anbu, a sinister smile playing on his lips. His eyes were filled with amusement, anticipating Zhang Hai's next move. He knew Zhang Hai was incredibly strong; these Anbu ninjas simply couldn't capture him.
“You certainly didn’t disappoint me, Zhang Hai.” Orochimaru turned around, his golden vertical pupils staring at Zhang Hai like snakes, a playful smile on his lips. “The Mangekyou Sharingan ability that left Konoha’s Yellow Flash helpless, and the composure to calmly plan even in the face of adversity, are indeed worth my effort to rescue.”
Zhang Hai stepped forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Orochimaru, his tone carrying a hint of sarcasm and agreement: "Aren't you and I the same kind of people? To achieve our respective goals, we'll stop at nothing, even treating the whole world as a chessboard. To you and me, those rules and regulations of Konoha are nothing more than shackles binding the weak."
Orochimaru let out a low laugh upon hearing this, as if in appreciation of Zhang Hai's words. He slowly shook his head and said regretfully, "It's a pity that I couldn't take you as my apprentice back in the Ninja Academy. Otherwise, with your talent, some of my research results might have been achieved much earlier."
