Everything in the trajectory of slash made by Jiryoku was twisted in a spiral and destroyed; whether it was Danzo or Baku, nothing was spared. The upper half of Danzo's body completely disappeared, and his lower body fell to the ground. Baku's body was also clearly destroyed, with one quarter of his entire half body missing. Obviously, Baku was also dead, and his huge body fell to the ground.

Danzo's lower body on the ground disappeared, and he reappeared standing a considerable distance away from Jiryoku. The third eye on his hand was now closed, with only one eye remaining on his hand, along with Shisui's eye in his right eye socket.

As Jiryoku waited for Danzo to appear, he immediately disappeared from the place. As soon as Danzo appeared, he saw a stream of light coming in his direction. He promptly dodged, but as he tried to move again, he was cut in half. This time, Jiryoku was faster than before because he had decreased the gravity around him, allowing him to move at an incredible speed.

Danzo, who had been cut in half, disappeared and reappeared once more. However, this time, all the Sharingans in his possession were rendered useless due to continuous use of Izanagi. Consequently, there was nothing to balance the Hashirama cells in his right hand, leading them to become restless and spiral out of control, ultimately growing into a large tree-like entity. In order to protect himself from the adverse effects, Danzo had to make the difficult decision of cutting off his own hand.

Panting heavily, Danzo expressed his frustration, "Do I really have to resort to using Izanagi with Shisui's eyes? Damn it! But I can't afford to lose such a powerful Dojutsu. No, I can't die like this. I must become Hokage and unite this ninja world to establish absolute peace."

Looking in Jiryoku's direction, Danzo pleaded, "Listen, Jiryoku, killing me won't accomplish anything. If you spare my life, I promise to bring your parents back to life. Just let me live, and you can lead a happy life with your family."

Jiryoku responded, "Ah, the same technique Orochimaru used to revive the past Hokages, the Impure World Reincarnation? Why would I use such a ninjutsu, where people remain forever trapped in the cycle of death? If I wanted to revive my parents, I could have attacked Sunagakure and obtained the Reincarnation technique created by Chiyo, which is more potent. However, I have no desire to disturb the dead. My parents have already endured enough darkness in this world. Now, they deserve to find peace in the afterlife."

Jiryoku attacked Danzo after saying this, as he could perceive that the meteor had already been dealt with by Jiraiya and others.

With the failure of his previous attempts, Danzo was now left with only one choice and one chance to survive, but for that, he had to lose Shisui's eyes.

Using his left hand, he tore his upper clothes, revealing four symbols on his body. Jiryoku was closing in rapidly, and upon sensing Danzo losing his life force rapidly and bleeding profusely, Jiryoku immediately understood that Danzo had used the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing technique.

Jiryoku's expression changed, and he swiftly employed the Gravity Blast technique, causing everything in front of him, including himself and Danzo, to be repelled and pushed back a considerable distance.

Slowly, black blood spread from Danzo's body, forming a huge black sphere at its center. Everything within a five-meter radius was engulfed and sealed within Danzo's lifeless form.

Danzo appeared again, but this time, as soon as he materialized, he fell to the ground, utterly exhausted from expending almost all his chakra in the previous move, coupled with his use of Izanagi.

Jiryoku appeared in front of Danzo, standing firmly before him, and said, "Danzo, you are truly one of the most feared individuals when it comes to research and planning. However, sometimes, when strength surpasses a certain limit, no matter how meticulous one is, victory becomes unattainable. This is something I can guarantee."

"You're right about that," replied Danzo. "I must admit, I have predicted numerous ways in which I could have died or should have died, yet somehow, I always managed to survive. But never in my life did I imagine that I would be killed by a blind ninja."

"Go on your way and apologize to my parents, but I doubt you feel any remorse for your actions," Jiryoku said while raising his sword.

Danzo responded, "You're correct. I don't regret anything because everything I do is for the sake of Konoha. A true shinobi always remains in the shadows, bearing the burden of protecting the villagers and commoners without seeking recognition. I have lived such a life." His voice carried a hint of pride for his statement.

"You know, Danzo, you are quite a contradictory person," Jiryoku remarked. "On one hand, you advocate for a shinobi to remain in the shadows, protecting others without expecting acknowledgment. Yet, you always yearn to step into the light by becoming Hokage, striving for recognition and admiration as a hero."

Danzo fell silent upon hearing this, and Jiryoku shook his head before swiftly beheading him.
