Homusubi has been able to take advantage of Danzo's lack of logic in his haste to absorb the visual prowess for Dojutsu's progress until now and has killed him. In fact, even after killing Danzo for the first time, Homusubi did not dare to relax his vigilance... Homusubi's nerves stiffen when he realizes Danzo may be using Izanagi to influence the outcome of his death.
Despite his fear, he knew Danzo would not be able to last long if Shodaime and Nidaime were present.
After all, he reasoned, with the numerical superiority and strength of the two Hokage of the past, killing Danzo many times was not a difficult task.
Furthermore, both Shodaime and Nidaime have studied some of the Senju and Fuinjutsu deadliest Uzumaki Clans. They will use their incredible skills to fight against the Uchiha Clan to find a way to avoid Izanagi to confront Danzo if they are told the exact facts and mechanisms of Izanagi.
There was no way Danzo could survive such a battle.
However, Orochimaru's mistake changed everything.
Orochimaru, influenced by greed, made the mistake of hastily removing the two main combat personnel, worsening the situation.
Despite the fact that Homusubi was upset and angry at Orochimaru, he remained silent.
After all, Orochimaru had no prior knowledge of Izanagi... And even Homusubi only knew about Izanagi because of his past life knowledge; if not for that, he might have done something similar to Orochimaru... As a result, he had no right to fire Orochimaru.
"Huh... Focus.." gritted with a deep breath, then he put aside all other thoughts and concentrated on the battle at hand.
Homusubi poured as much chakra as he could into his eyes as he stood inside his Golden Susano'o protective armor, trying to capture the location where Danzo would soon reveal himself.
Tsukihi senses Danzo has not regained her sanity and is still acting on instinct when she killed him just moments ago.
To be honest, relying on instinct is not always a bad thing, because intuition can be more sensitive to danger than rational analysis. However, there are some things that cannot be done based only on instinct...
Homusubi was well aware of this, which was why he believed that if he prepared the plan carefully, he might be able to dump Danzo inside the volcano.
"Didn't you want my eyes?" Homusubi gave a cold snort, "Come and take them!"
Homusubi knew Danzo was eyeing a pair of eyes in his sockets, so he realized he could use it as bait to coax him out.
And while Homusubi was planning how to deal with Danzo, the overall volcanic situation began to deteriorate.
Rumble... Crash…
As Orochimaru sent the soul of Shodaime Hokage to the sacred ground, the supply of chakra to the tree vines holding the volcano stopped, and as a result, the tree vines were no longer able to support the structure of the volcano. Rocks and chunks began to fall, and cracks began to widen... As Homusubi thought of how to deal with Danzo, the overall situation of the volcano began to deteriorate. Pressure inside the volcano began to rise, more gas was ejected, and the volcano began to show clear signs of eruption.
Undoubtedly, the damage has progressed to the point where the uncrowded vines can no longer prevent the volcano from erupting and collapsing.
Amidst all this chaos, Susano'o's entire deep red-colored body appeared out of nowhere and ran towards Homusubi's Golden Susano'o.
Homusubi was already on alert, so when Susano'o Danzo suddenly attacked him, he was not surprised and reacted appropriately.
Bang Bang Bang…
With that, the two Susano'o began a new round of fighting.
Danzo and Homusubi are not harmed by the intense magma heat around them as they struggle with each other as both are inside Susano'o's crystal cavity respectively.
Homusubi was unaffected by Danzo's greed and despair; even if he felt it, he seemed to have no objection and continued to fight Danzo with all his might.
He used all his strength to lift Susano'o Danzo into the air, threw him into the magma pond in the middle of the volcano, and followed him.
Bum…
Hot, melted magma splashed everywhere as the two large Susano'o landed in the magma pond.
His Susano'o and Danzo's Susano'o are almost identical in brute strength, but the presence of magma and its hot temperatures make a difference.
Tsukihi is a clone of Hyuga Kuroto's fire chakra nature, she was created with the aim of mastering the nature of fire chakra, so magma is not a problem for her. In fact, when surrounded by hot, smoldering magma, all of these clone abilities increased drastically. But the same did not apply to Danzo; not only did Magma not provide significant benefits to him, but it also resisted the corrosive fog unleashed by his Susano'o, limiting most of his strength. Not to mention, the dense magma also limited her Susano'o mobility, which was a significant limitation.
Homusubi was well aware of these facts, which was why he chose to fight inside the magma pond.
ROARS!
Homusubi's Susano'o roared and struck Danzo's Susano'o.
The explosion!
The start of the next round of chaos was marked by this explosion.
Orochimaru stood in the distance, a grim expression on his face as he watched the battle.
Orochimaru felt unwell after seeing Danzo rise twice. He doesn't know that Danzo has touched the immortality he's been chasing for years.
Orochimaru was also angry at himself, wondering how he could make such a mistake. Orochimaru was not sure if he could participate in this battle or not because Shodaime and Nidaime were no more.
He felt as if he was stepping on a rock... There was no way to control Danzo's body now, and Orochimaru was unsure if he could even help Homusubi in solving the problems they had created.
He is very clear that he is not Danzo's opponent based on his own strength and without the help of Edo Tensei Shodaime and Nidaime... He can't do anything to Danzo, even if it's Danzo, who has lost his mind and acts only on instinct.
The movement within the magma pond came to a halt while Orochimaru cursed himself.
That meant that the fierce battle that was taking place inside had ended.
"Who won?" Orochimaru muttered, his face agitated.
If Tsukihi was the winner, Orochimaru might be able to negotiate with him and get some of his profits; however, if Danzo was the winner, not only would he not be able to obtain some profits, he was unable to obtain some, but he might not even be able to escape alive.
While Orochimaru was worried, the wait was finally over when a huge Golden hand emerged from the magma pond.
"Well.." Orochimaru heaved a sigh of relief, "It's Homusubi." Then when he was about to approach her, suddenly his expression shrank, and he could not help but exclaim in shock, “It.... Danzo–...?!”.
