Orochimaru's substitution technique is indeed magical, but the amount of chakra consumed by this technique is also astonishingly large.

Although the effect is very good, and it can even completely eliminate the damage that causes one to be on the verge of death, the cost is too high. It can only be a secret technique used to save one's life at a critical moment, rather than a regular ninjutsu.

Another trump card was revealed, and Uchiha Sasuke's situation became more and more embarrassing. At a huge cost, he finally created an environment for a duel with Shimura Danzo.

How could Danzo Shimura, a veteran of hundreds of battles, miss such a good opportunity when Sasuke’s old strength has been exhausted and his new strength has not yet been unleashed?

While Sasuke was still thinking about his next plan, Danzo Shimura used a flash technique and appeared in front of Uchiha Sasuke, who had just emerged from Orochimaru's substitution technique. His pale right arm grabbed Uchiha Sasuke's neck. His strong arms and powerful grip did not make him look like an old man at all.

The tiger's mouth was hard and advantageous, clasping Sasuke's throat like an eagle's beak, and kept tightening, squeezing Sasuke's neck and making a crackling sound.

Sasuke realized that something was wrong and tried to attack Shimura Danzo with his two-handed sword, but found that he had lost control of his body.

Dark lines appeared on Sasuke's cheeks, neck, palms, and arms, and his entire upper body was restrained by this sudden appearance.

"It will be difficult for you to break free from the seal of your own karma curse with your current strength, but before that, I will take your eyes."

Sasuke was unable to move, veins bulging, but he could only watch Shimura Danzo's left hand approaching his eyeball.

Driven by the extreme desire to survive, the purple power of Susanoo once again surged out from Uchiha Sasuke's dried body. A huge arm came down from above and smashed Shimura Danzo into a pulp.

Sasuke, who had violently broken the Self-Binding Seal with his extremely strong will and the help of Susanoo, didn't even have time to catch his breath before his eyes. Danzo Shimura, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly disappeared and appeared not far away.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Wave!"

The soft but incredibly powerful wind blade came towards Uchiha Sasuke with the momentum to cut through everything. The shocked Sasuke had no choice but to muster up all his strength and dodge in a panic.

"What time is this?"

Uchiha Sasuke was a little confused after avoiding a fatal blow for the second time.

Now Uchiha Sasuke can no longer maintain the complete Susanoo form. He can only transform into a rib-shaped half body, and he only has one arm for attacking. As for transforming into swords, bows and arrows, he has no such thing. His ability to move depends entirely on his own legs.

"That's really an admirable strength, but it can only go so far!"

The strong will honed through decades of war made Shimura Danzo simply not believe that he would lose in such a narrow encounter.

He still has two lives, no, he still has three lives. Even with the Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye socket, he can use Izanami at the critical moment.

Although this would completely break the balance of yin and yang in his body, the only option to survive is to cut off his right arm.

The cells of Hashirama Senju that had been providing him with almost endless vitality no longer existed, and he would become the scarred old man he used to be. But at least it was better than being completely devoured by the cells of the first generation. As long as he was still alive, he would have a chance to make a comeback.

At this time, the biggest threat to Uchiha Sasuke is not anything else, but whether he can hold on.

The huge consumption of maintaining Susanoo is really not worth it.

The Susanoo, which no longer had any decisive significance, was removed. Even as Uchiha Sasuke's energy declined, the originally endless Amaterasu Black Flame seemed to show signs of subsiding.

"What determines the final victory or defeat is still a strong will!"

Wielding the sword with both hands is much better than Shimura Danzo's bare hands. The sharpness of the Kusanagi sword is even better than Shimura Danzo's wind blade. The blood-letting effect of the red sword is also a headache.

"Die with your dirty desires!"

The lightning-attribute chakra stimulates the activity of body cells, bringing about super high speed and reaction ability, which played an important role at this time. Although he no longer has the curse seal and the lightning sword wings, he still has a considerable advantage over Danzo, who has a good body but a somewhat stale consciousness.

Three years ago in the Chunin Exam, Sasuke dealt with Danzo Shimura in the same way Rock Lee used his speed to play with Gaara, and Danzo did not have as strong defensive capabilities as Gaara.

"Wood Release, you have never used it. Are you afraid to use it?"

The Kusanagi sword pierced Shimura Danzo's chest, and immediately, Izanami took effect, and another Sharingan on the pale arm closed forever.

"How can it be so convenient for an outsider to use the Sharingan? Even Hatake Kakashi's teacher had such a hard time, how could an old man with far less talent have such a magical death-substitution technique?"

That pale arm is obviously abnormal, and that should be the key to being able to use Wood Release. 』

Although he didn't know the specific situation, Sasuke instinctively realized the key to the matter and took the initiative to attack without hesitation.

It would be troublesome if I couldn't win before I ran out of energy.

With only one Sharingan left on his right arm, he was finally unable to suppress the yang power of Hashirama Senju's cells. Knowing that the situation was not good, Danzo Shimura frowned, then took out a large bottle of potion and drank it without hesitation.

"That color, could it be..."

Uchiha Sasuke, who had used the Almighty Potion several times, was definitely not unfamiliar with this green potion. This nauseating-colored potion was extremely rare in the ninja world. At this time, Shimura Danzo had high hopes for it, and it must be correct.

"That's right, so you don't stand a chance!"

After replenishing a large amount of the almighty potion in time, Danzo's physical strength and chakra were greatly restored, and he temporarily suppressed the abnormalities in his body. Although there might be more troubles waiting for him to deal with later, for now, he should first get through the current difficulties.

There used to be a small amount of almighty potion left in Uchiha Sasuke's body after it was used, but unfortunately, the last part was consumed in the battle that killed Uchiha Itachi not long ago.

Helpless, Sasuke reached into his tool bag, took out several military pills, threw them into his mouth, chewed them, and then swallowed them.

"It's not over yet, and it's still unknown who will win! I'm also very curious about what kind of reaction your messed-up body will have after using the omnipotent potion!"
