Yoruha didn't say anything, just smiled. Danzo no longer had any chance. If it weren't for Yoruha wanting to give Sasuke a proper explanation, Sasuke alone could have easily wiped out Danzo in an instant. Compared to Yoruha, Danzo naturally had no chance of turning the tables.
But even when compared to Sasuke, the gap was immense, and he still had no chance of reversing his fate. Behind Yoruha, Manda found it somewhat boring to see Danzo give up so quickly. Originally, it thought it might have another opportunity to act.
Who knew Danzo wouldn't give it the chance? After Danzo admitted defeat, two masked Anbu ninjas appeared behind him. These Anbu had been watching from the sidelines since the beginning.
The Root organization's outside ninjas had already been subdued by them. It was all thanks to Yoruha, though Yoruha seemed to have done nothing, merely strolling into the Root organization's headquarters. All the Root ninjas he encountered along the way seemed frozen, unable to move. The Anbu didn't even have to fight them to capture them.
It was precisely because of Yoruha's god-like technique that the Anbu were once again astounded by his power. Yoruha's strength was formidable; they had previously only noted his destructive capabilities. But the way Yoruha immobilized all the Root ninjas was a rule-based ability.
Yet, Yoruha appeared to do nothing, not even batting an eyelid, as he calmly walked into the Root headquarters. All the Root ninjas who tried to stop him were immobilized, without any ability to resist. That ability wasn't a simple binding technique but a space technique.
Yoruha merely confined the space around these Root ninjas. It seemed like there were no restrictions around them, but in reality, it was as if they were trapped in an iron box identical to their bodies. Moreover, this was the use of space ninjutsu, and Yoruha didn't even employ the concept of a jutsu. He truly knew binding techniques.
But he didn't need to use them. Binding techniques belong to rule-based jutsu, which seem to consume less chakra than space ninjutsu but actually require far more stellar energy, as rule-based jutsu primarily consume stellar-level energy. Generally, Yoruha disliked using rule-based jutsu.
His own chakra was already more than sufficient. In fact, the combined chakra of the entire Otsutsuki clan couldn't compare to the chakra of Yoruha's true form. Yoruha's chakra was inherent to his body's energy. At this point, the Anbu ninjas were completely in awe of Yoruha and proud that their captain was such a powerful figure.
Without a word from Yoruha, the two Anbu ninjas took Danzo away. As for Manda, they were no longer surprised. Although they didn't know Yoruha's summoned beast was Manda, the techniques Yoruha displayed earlier had already made them indifferent to any summoned beast appearing by his side.
After everyone left, Yoruha looked at Manda and smiled, "Long time no see, Manda. It seems you've been doing well these past few years. You look like you've doubled in size."
Its size had indeed doubled. Previously, its body length was just over a hundred meters, but now it had grown to nearly 300 meters. If it weren't lying down, raising its head might even break through the ceiling of this hall. Manda said, exasperated, "You have the nerve to say that? How long has it been since you last summoned me?"
The words were filled with resentment. Over the past few years, Orochimaru and Kabuto had summoned it many times. However, it wasn't particularly interested and sometimes even refused the summons.
But Yoruha had never summoned it, and for that, Manda harbored deep resentment. Manda admired the strong, and towards Yoruha, whose power far surpassed its own, it showed none of its usual violence, greed, or capriciousness. Instead, it was very easygoing, displaying a gentleness uncharacteristic of snakes. In Yoruha's presence, Manda's demeanor was not much different from that of a green snake. If Orochimaru were to see Manda's attitude in front of Yoruha, he would surely be very jealous.
The difference was simply too great. Yoruha looked at Manda and smiled, "You don't have to say it like that. I haven't been going out on missions much these past few years and haven't really been involved in battles. So I haven't summoned you. It's not just you; I haven't summoned the Three-Tails either."
Hearing this, Manda finally felt a sense of balance and didn't dwell on the issue any longer. Instead, it asked, "Is there something wrong with Konoha?
I remember that guy should be an old-timer from the village, used to be with Orochimaru. Why did you go after him?" Yoruha explained, "He did some things, and the Hokage asked me to capture him." Manda didn't pay much attention and said, "That guy's arms are full of Sharingan, so he must be related to the Uchiha clan, right?
Speaking of the Uchiha clan, that green snake has been frequently summoned by Sasuke over the years, and its strength has increased a lot. Now its power is on par with mine." Yoruha laughed, "Sasuke's strength has also become very formidable now. Haven't you heard of his reputation in the ninja world?" "The Blue Flash, a title similar to the Fourth Hokage's."
Manda nodded, "Of course I've heard. That green snake really likes Sasuke, always going on about him in my ear." After saying this, it looked at Yoruha with a face full of grievance, "You should start putting in effort too, right? You know what Orochimaru is up to, and I don't believe you can stay calm."
Over the years, Manda had often been summoned by Orochimaru for battles, so it naturally knew what Orochimaru was up to. However, Manda hadn't told Orochimaru that Yoruha was its summoner. Because of this, it knew a lot about Orochimaru's affairs and had no intention of keeping them secret, sharing everything with Yoruha.
Yoruha nodded, "I know. A few months ago, he summoned the four Hokage, and I almost got in trouble." But as soon as Yoruha finished speaking, Manda looked at Yoruha with disdain, "You're exaggerating. Although the four Hokage are strong, if you were really under pressure, you wouldn't be speaking so casually about it."
"Your current strength, I don't know, but seeing Sasuke's power increase, I know it's definitely your doing."
"Sasuke's current strength must be thanks to you. Many of his jutsu and techniques have your style."
"Sasuke's strength now definitely surpasses that of Madara back in the day. The First Hokage was stronger than Madara, but not by much. Among the four Hokage, the Second and Fourth are known for their speed, but you counter speed. In front of you, they wouldn't last a minute."
"The Third Hokage knows all kinds of jutsu, but his strength doesn't surpass the Kage level. I estimate he wouldn't last a minute against you either."
"The most troublesome is the First Hokage, but if you were serious, I bet you could take him down in less than five minutes."
"I don't believe for a second that you almost got in trouble."
