-------------------------------------------------------------

At the passage leading to the outside world, Kazuki sat on the final step, holding a ninja blade with a smile on his face. He gazed at Danzo, who had rushed there but suddenly stopped in his tracks. 

"What's wrong, Lord Danzo? Are you unhappy to see me?" Kazuki taunted. "I even helped you by moving all the guards stationed here elsewhere!" 

The absence of guards? That was because Kazuki had ordered them all to wait outside. 

Kazuki didn't want these guards interfering in his battle. After all, facing someone like Danzo, they'd likely become a burden, dragging things down. 

Never underestimate Danzo's willingness to use any means necessary to escape Konoha, even at the cost of others. The best example was the Third Hokage being trapped in the prison. 

Save the people and maintain order in the prison, or pursue me? 

Choose one. 

In the end, the Third Hokage chose to stabilize the prison. 

Meeting Danzo's venomous and sinister gaze, Kazuki smiled and reminded him. 

"Your time is running out. In a few minutes, a large number of ANBU ninja will catch up, and when that happens, Lord Danzo, not even wings will save you." 

Damn Uchiha brat!!! 

"Wind Release. Vacuum Wave!" 

Danzo had no intention of engaging Kazuki in a fair fight; he launched a surprise attack without hesitation. He wasn't aiming to defeat Kazuki but to create an opportunity to escape. 

Even if it meant using Izanagi multiple times, he was more than willing. 

"Fire Release. Great Fireball Jutsu!" 

The collision of wind and fire created a violent explosion in the confined space, causing the rocky passage to tremble. Fortunately, the vibrations weren't too severe. 

However, the blast shattered many rocks, sending debris and dust flying everywhere. 

Through the dust cloud, a pale, corpse-like hand emerged, holding a kunai that stabbed toward Kazuki's throat. 

Using the falling debris and dust as cover, Danzo launched his sneak attack, disregarding the risk of being struck by the rubble. 

His goal was clear and precise. 

The sudden and fierce assault forced Kazuki to bring his ninja blade up to block the incoming kunai. 

"Clang!" 

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the block, Danzo cursed, "Damn Uchiha brat!!!" 

The kunai, deflected by the ninja blade, swung toward Kazuki's abdomen. 

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Danzo." Kazuki countered by driving his knee directly toward Danzo's groin, showing no regard for the kunai aimed at his abdomen. 

An exchange of injury for injury? 

Something's off! 

Although Kazuki's combat experience couldn't match Danzo's, such a reckless fighting style was full of hidden intentions. 

This repeatedly alerted Danzo. something was wrong. 

Damn it!!! 

The thought flashed in Danzo's mind, increasing his unease. He quickly flung the kunai and retreated. 

The kunai was deflected by Kazuki's blade, and Kazuki's knee struck only air. 

Seeing Danzo leap far away, Kazuki feigned surprise. 

"Thank you for showing mercy, Lord Danzo." 

In a typical scenario, anyone would press their attack, even if it meant taking a hit, rather than retreating in hesitation. 

Taking a blow to the groin was better than being disemboweled. 

But in that crucial moment, Danzo hesitated, fearing a trap, and withdrew. 

And the result... 

Arghhh!!!! 

Curse this brat! 

There was no trap! 

Kazuki had deliberately provoked him, knowing Danzo was overly cautious and prone to overthinking. 

Realizing his blunder, Danzo nearly slapped himself for his stupidity. He had wasted a golden opportunity. 

Kazuki's taunting caused Danzo's previously calm demeanor to begin unraveling. 

"Damn you!!!" 

The opportunity Danzo had painstakingly fought for was wasted due to his own doubts, and now he grew increasingly impatient. He feared the pursuers catching up and being dragged down by Kazuki. 

"Hahaha..." Kazuki laughed mockingly, his voice echoing through the passage. He charged at Danzo with his ninja blade, launching a relentless barrage of attacks. 

The narrow passage left little room for movement, severely limiting the battle space. 

This brat's Body Flicker Technique is so fast! 

Danzo realized he couldn't afford to drag the fight out. If he did, he'd completely lose his chance to escape Konoha. 

Despite Kazuki's fierce onslaught, Danzo skillfully defended, matching his opponent in a flurry of taijutsu and kenjutsu exchanges. Neither gained the upper hand—or so Danzo thought. 

The difference was Kazuki's calm demeanor versus Danzo's growing anxiety. 

Kazuki had no issue with delaying the fight, but Danzo couldn't afford to. 

If surrounded, even multiple uses of Izanagi wouldn't guarantee his escape. Izanagi wasn't omnipotent—prepared enemies could easily counter it, rendering sacrificed Sharingan useless. 

Surrounded on all sides, where could you possibly run? 

"Hahaha, Danzo! Don't you hate me? Come on, I'm standing right here. Kill me, and you can escape to freedom!" 

Kazuki's attacks grew fiercer as he relentlessly pursued Danzo. Their figures blurred as they darted through the passage. 

The clash of blades and kunai echoed endlessly. Kazuki, growing more exhilarated, activated his Sharingan. The three tomoe spun rapidly, making Danzo's eye twitch. 

While skilled in taijutsu and kenjutsu, Kazuki's true specialty lay in genjutsu. 

Even with Uchiha Kagami's transplanted Sharingan, Danzo couldn't match Kazuki's genjutsu capabilities. 

He was forced to constantly guard against Kazuki's illusions while planning his escape, intensifying the battle's ferocity. 

"Wood Release. Root Burial!" 

Suddenly, Danzo's right arm sprouted massive vines, which surged toward Kazuki, transforming into a giant tree that nearly blocked the entire passage. 

"Goodbye!" 

In such a confined space, Danzo's makeshift Wood Release was devastating. 

Kazuki had anticipated this move. The moment Danzo raised his right hand, Kazuki swiftly dodged, leaving Danzo with little chance to counter. 

"Boom!!!" 

The tree burst through the surrounding rocks, shattering them. Kazuki avoided it entirely, not even a hair out of place. 

"Damn it!" Danzo cursed, shaking off the massive tree as he lunged at Kazuki through the debris. 

The battle continued to rage. 

"The heart..." 

Kazuki's Sharingan spun rapidly. Sensing danger, Danzo's remaining eye twitched. He quickly averted his gaze, tightly shutting his unharmed left eye to avoid falling into genjutsu. 

"You're distracted, Danzo." 

Kazuki's blade pierced through Danzo's chest.
