The masked enemy bypassed Danzo's defenses and sent a brutal punch to his stomach. The man's fist was infused with precise chakra and the instant it made contact, Dragon released all accumulated energy.

"Ghha!" Danzo spit out a wad of blood as several internal organs were crushed. But the ferocity in his eyes didn't vanish. It only grew. Before the punch could blow him away he tried to land a killing blow to the head of the enemy with his sword but he failed as his masked enemy easily dodged.

Boom! Crash.

Danzo was blasted through the wall and rolled on the ground several times before coming to a stop. His eyes had already lost consciousness. A moment later the bloody figure vanished and an unharmed Danzo stood near where he fell.

He looked at his arm and his face darkened. 'I already lost two eyes. And I still haven't been able to injure him. How frustrating.'

He looked ahead and glared at the unknown enemy. 'His ninjutsu skills, reaction time and fighting skills are far greater than I anticipated.'

Another problem was also on Danzo's mind. 'It's been almost two minutes. Why hasn't Hotaru returned yet? Whatever injuries he might have received, his reanimated body should have repaired them. So where is he?'

Danzo focused and he immediately found the man he brought back from the dead. He quickly re-established the connection between him and the reanimated Hotaru. But something felt off to Danzo.

The old war-hawk saw that the recovery of Hotaru was much much slower than he anticipated. 'His injuries are taking far longer than normal to heal.'

Danzo focused on the man's chakra and found that it was completely unstable. The Yang and Yin energy was out of sync within his body and was only slowly returning to its normal state.

The Root commander looked at the masked enemy who slowly came and stood a few meters away. "What did you do to him?"

"I'm under no obligation to answer your questions Danzo... But I suppose I'll say this. Did you really think you're the only one who knew the reanimation jutsu? Did you think there wouldn't be someone who'd try to come up with countermeasures for such a forbidden technique?"

The reply from the enemy brought a sneer on the old man's face.

Daichi inwardly snorted. 'I wasn't just learning how to improve my reanimation jutsu ability. I was also thinking of ways to counter it. Or at least keep the enemy down for a little while. Disrupt the flow between Yang and Yin chakra combined with Mana attack to target the mind. '

When Daichi attacked Hotaru, with just a single punch he disturbed the chakra flow down to the core with brute force and sent Mana into his body to disrupt the mind. It was a theory Daichi had in mind after his experiments in Orochimaru's lair. But there is a small flaw.

'Since I couldn't directly inject Mana into Hotaru's head he'll recover his distorted mind and senses soon and he'll quickly control his chakra and recover. After that he'll be back to help this guy.'

Crack. Thud.

At that moment Danzo's eyes shifted to the body that fell nearby. It was the broken dead body of Fu Yamanaka. Danzo growled and made a seal. A clone of the masked ninja appeared and stood alongside him.

'To kill Fu with just a shadow clone. I can't underestimate him.' Danzo made a seal and a second later the dead body of Fu vanished and he was once again back to the land of the living.

The disguised Daichi's eyes slightly narrowed. 'So he used Izanagi to rewrite Fu's reality huh. Danzo using Izanagi for someone else. Something like this didn't happen in canon. I need to see if this affects its time limit.'
