When Manda appeared, Danzo was utterly stunned. Manda was known as the most powerful among the three great summoning beasts from the three legendary lands, and it was also Orochimaru's summoning beast.
From the clash between Manda and the Baku just now, it was clear that Manda's strength was definitely above that of the Baku. But why was Yoruha's summoning beast Manda? How did he manage to have such a powerful summoning beast? Danzo, ignoring the fact that the Baku had been knocked flying, angrily demanded, "Kid, why have you signed a summoning contract with Manda?"
However, before Yoruha could respond, Manda was already displeased, roaring, "Old man, do you think I'm unworthy to be his summoning beast?" Ever since becoming Yoruha's summoning beast, Yoruha had only summoned it once. So Manda was particularly sensitive, thinking that Yoruha looked down on it.
After all, it knew how powerful Yoruha was, but Danzo's words clearly implied that Yoruha lacked the strength to sign a contract with Manda. Manda was just too sensitive. Danzo was even more bewildered upon hearing Manda's reaction.
Manda was the strongest among the summoning beasts of the three legendary lands, and his words clearly suggested that Yoruha wasn't qualified to be its master. Why did Manda seem displeased? He was clearly complimenting it.
Danzo was unaware of how sensitive Manda had become over the years. Originally, it thought that Yoruha would frequently summon it to battle over these years. But apart from the one time Yoruha summoned it after they first signed the contract, it hadn't been summoned again.
This made Manda increasingly sensitive, feeling that Yoruha must look down on it, which was why it wasn't being summoned. It was also quite jealous of the Three-Tails, thinking that it had taken the ecological niche that should have belonged to it. If not for the Three-Tails, Yoruha's frequently summoned beast would definitely be it.
If the Three-Tails knew what Manda was thinking, it would feel wronged. The Three-Tails hadn't been summoned many times either. Over the years, Yoruha rarely went out on missions, and battles requiring summoning beasts were even less frequent.
Standing in front of Manda, Yoruha said, "Danzo, if you have any more tricks, use them now. I'm giving you the chance to show them." Yoruha's arrogant words made Danzo incredibly angry. But he didn't realize that Yoruha was simply stating the truth.
At this moment, he really was giving Danzo a chance to demonstrate his abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't even have the opportunity to stand here. Manda asked, "Yoruha, do you want to capture this guy?" Yoruha nodded, "Yeah, that summoning beast of his is all yours."
Manda nodded, turning its gaze to the Baku, which was struggling out of the rubble. It was holding back a nameless fury, unable to vent it on Yoruha, and the Baku was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
With a hiss, Manda moved its massive body with incredible speed, appearing in front of the Baku before it could even react, sending it flying once again with a headbutt. The massive body crashed into the wall, the immense force collapsing it. Despite the commotion of the battle, Yoruha paid no mind.
His eyes remained fixed on Danzo. Seeing his summoning beast being brutally beaten by Manda, Danzo was furious. "Yoruha, don't think that just because you can summon Manda, you can win!"
Yoruha chuckled, "Then please, show me what you've got." Danzo felt insulted and drew a kunai, charging towards Yoruha.
Yoruha hadn't expected Danzo to challenge him in taijutsu. Shaking his head, Yoruha said, "I was going to give you a chance to showcase your ninjutsu, but if you insist..." With that, Yoruha vanished from sight.
Danzo didn't even have time to react. In the next moment, Yoruha appeared behind him and kicked him away.
"Boom!" "crash!" Danzo flew like a cannonball, crashing through several walls with immense force. Yoruha dusted off his hands.
Danzo stood up from the rubble, spitting blood, yet he laughed maniacally, "Ignorant fool, as long as I have my Sharingan, I can't die." Yoruha replied calmly, "Izanagi might be troublesome for others, but for me..." Yoruha's lips curled into a slight smile.
In the next instant, Danzo noticed that all the Sharingan on his arm had closed. Just moments ago, he was full of confidence, but now he felt a chill run down his spine. His greatest reliance was on those Sharingan, so why had they suddenly all shut down?
Realizing something, Danzo looked up in terror at Yoruha, "Was it you? Did you do this?" Yoruha smiled, "I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it. Izanagi, that ocular jutsu, is useless against me."
It wasn't just useless; Yoruha had directly deactivated them, rendering the Sharingan ineffective. This was something Danzo couldn't accept. Even if Yoruha defeated him, he wouldn't be this terrified. Yoruha's actions were more frightening than Madara's, who could only nullify ninjutsu. Madara couldn't deactivate components on an opponent's body. But Yoruha could close the Sharingan on his body as if by magic. This power was beyond human comprehension.
It exceeded Danzo's understanding. It was terrifying, causing him to lose the will to resist. Anyone would be frightened in such a situation because the opponent wasn't just stronger but could also instantly nullify your abilities.
Like a god, his words became reality. Danzo found himself unable to move, stunned by Yoruha's power. After a long while, he finally regained his senses and looked up at Yoruha, "What sorcery did you use on me? How can you deactivate my Sharingan?"
Meanwhile, Manda had already defeated the Baku, which had returned to the summoning realm after being thoroughly beaten. The power gap between the two summoned beasts was too great. Manda appeared behind Yoruha, silent, like a guardian lying in wait.
Danzo swallowed hard; Yoruha's power was beyond his comprehension. He didn't even know what to do. Should he resist? But with such a vast power difference, what was the point of resisting?
Use ninjutsu? If Yoruha could deactivate his Sharingan, couldn't he also nullify his ninjutsu instantly? So why resist?
It was too humiliating. Danzo gritted his teeth, unwilling but ultimately lowered his kunai. "I'll explain everything to Tsunade. Your actions today are a serious provocation. No matter what, I'm still an elder of the village. You dare to attack me? Prepare to be impeached."
Even though he knew he wasn't a match for Yoruha, Danzo still issued a threat.
