Chapter 97: A taste of your own medicine
As everyone thought that Danzo actually succeeded in trapping me in his wind barrier and chopped my head off.
The reality of the situation was way different as the one who was laying a trap for the other was me and it all started when I attacked him head-on recklessly to make the difference in our physical attributes apparent.
Then, when he thought he got me trapped in the wind barrier that didn't hide from my notice especially since I understood the basics of seals, he chose to save some of his chakra for escaping and knowing that I could mimic his wind style Jutsu with my Sharingan as I did to his Vacuum slash in the conference room which would only create a stalemate and buy time for the others to rescue me.
So, he opted for close combat knowing that it's his best advantage and he could save his chakra for Hiruzen and Fugaku.
However, what he didn't know is that he was only facing my shadow clone and the real me was hiding in its shadow from the time we Fugaku and I attacked him outside the conference room using the Shadow merge Jutsu which I learned from a mercenary in the war...
All of these events combined resulted in Danzo feeling reassured of his victory. Especially when he saw the unfaked reactions of worry on Fugaku's face and the rest which made him believe that this wasn't planned and it caused him to feel smug and let his guard down for an instant at the pleasure of ending the life of this Uchiha genius ...
However, this instant was all I needed as I attacked him from the shadow with a new Jutsu I received from the system!
A quick dark hand emerged from the shadow of the headless corpse leaving the smug Danzo no time to react as it grabbed his ankle.
And if anyone has a sharp enough vision. They would notice that my hand wasn't dark as a result of some type of chakra. No, it was because of a huge number of curse marks inscribed on it!
This is a Jutsu I gained from a quest after I killed 1000 people in my multiple wars!
It's called Dark touch, and this Jutsu summons a very strong curse in the user's hand, that immediately transfers to the opponent upon touch and causes their body to start twisting and folding on itself crushing it in the process.
However, this Jutsu is not without a downside, as the user needs to transfer this curse to a living being in the next 4 seconds. Otherwise, he would be crushed by it instead so it's a very dangerous double-edged sword. Add to that it costs 5000 Chakra to use it when it's at level 1 so using it repeatedly is not an option unless you have huge chakra reserves.
However, its destructiveness is higher than most S-rank Jutsu so these side effects are deserved and it's best classified as a forbidden Jutsu!
-Back to the fight-
Feeling a hand grabbing his right ankle, Danzo instinctively retracted his smug smile and looked below him and so did Fugaku and Hiruzen who were watching this. However, what greeted him was another hand emerging from the shadow of the falling corpse wielding a sword that was aimed at his other leg trying to stab him.
However, this time he immediately reacted by blocking the attack with his wind sword before he jumped away to assess the situation.
Unauthorized duplication: this tale has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
Just as he did so, I completely emerged from the shadow and my clone finally went puff and disappeared back while I gained back the chakra I used to create it.
'This kid is really sneaky; I really can't underestimate him. the level of planning he's showing is not ordinary:' thought Danzo with a dark look on his face.
"Thank god you are okay" said Fugaku as he released a sigh of relief and retracted his Mangekyo Sharingan before anyone would notice it.
Hiruzen felt the same but he was still worried about me being stuck alone with Danzo so he quickly yelled "Bakorio-kun, we only need 5 more seconds and we will be right there with you, try your best to buy us this much time!"
"Don't even think about it!" said Danzo coldly and was about to rush at me again but he suddenly felt his leg twisting unnaturally against his will making him fall face-first to the ground and inhale a sharp breath of air from the pain he was feeling and ended up staring at me in fear as droplets of cold sweat started to emerge on his head indicating the level of pain he was experiencing.
"I don't need to think about it ... you are already dead after all" I said with a cruel smile on my face, something that shouldn't appear on a kid...
"W-what did you do t- aghhhh?" Danzo tried to ask about what was happening to his body but then his hand twisted and broke in more than one place causing him to feel horrible pain.
"You like to curse people don't you? I just thought I should give you a taste of your own medicine" I replied without explaining what was happening to him.
"aghhhhhh" Danzo's groans started to slowly turn into screams so I said with the same cruel smile
"Do you enjoy your body being twisted from both the inside and the outside?.. I guess so, after all you already have a twisted heart. So, why not have a twisted body too right? you are welcome hahaha"
However, I only got more screams as an answer which made everyone watching feel chills at the torture that was happening in front of them but I secretly frowned and thought 'It seems he's trying to figure out what I did to him, that's why he's not using the effect of Izanagi right away...'
But soon enough, the pain turned out too much for him to handle even for someone like Danzo who even experimented on his own body especially, and it reached its peak when his internal organs also started twisting and getting crushed!
So, reaching his limits, his body disappeared like an illusion and started emerging again 5 meters away from me inside this wind barrier but not before noting the curse marks that appeared and spread all over his previous body!
'For a strong curse like this to take effect, it's impossible for it to happen without direct contact similar to my own immobilizing curse...' thought Danzo as he looked at me warily
'Contact!' Danzo quickly remembered that the first thing that started twisting and getting crushed was his left leg and it was also the only thing the kid made direct contact with when he took him by surprise from the shadow!
'I can't allow him to touch me again' thought Danzo clearly not wanting to experience that pain again.
All these happened instantly in his mind before he even fully manifested. However, just as he finally did so, He found that I already inhaled a deep breath and already did the final hand sign for a Jutsu he's very familiar with.
Wind Release: Vacuum sphere Jutsu!
This Jutsu allows the user to exhale several small but extremely fast blasts of wind chakra at the same time that scatters in different directions like a shotgun making it very difficult for one to avoid them without injury.
Due to the properties of this Jutsu, the expelled blasts are capable of piercing into and potentially through an opponent's flesh.
'How annoying' thought Danzo as he pushed his Sharingan to the limit to check the direction of each blast then twisted his body midair to barely dodge some of them. However, he couldn't completely dodge them and got lacerated on many parts of his body but nothing penetrated him directly.
'Amazing, he's actually holding Danzo back by not giving him any time to counterattack and keeping him on the defensive' thought Hiruzen as his eyes widened in admiration almost forgetting his job of helping Fugaku break the seal.
'When did such a kid appear in Konoha, Hiruzen never told me such a monster existed' Enma who kept bashing the wind barrier nonstop thought in shock!
'This is just the start of your suffering ... Danzo!' I thought while eying Danzo coldly with my next attack already in motion!
