Before anyone could react, Tsunade kicked Danzo straight into the dueling arena.
"What's going on?!"
"Hey, hey, wait your turn!"
"Yeah, yeah, no cutting in line!!"
Seeing Tsunade's actions, the others who had snapped out of it hurriedly shouted at her. But Tsunade didn't care about any of that right now. This old dog Danzo had cost her 1,000 points in one go; she absolutely had to beat him up.
Ignoring everyone's attempts to stop her, Tsunade plunged headfirst into the dueling arena.
Witnessing this, the others could only exchange glances. At that moment, the odds for the duel appeared before them.
5.5th Hokage Shimura Danzo: 10 to 1
Fifth Hokage Tsunade: 2 to 1
Looking at the odds provided by the chat group, everyone was momentarily stunned. The difference wasn't that large, nowhere near as exaggerated as the odds for the First Hokage had been.
Seeing Danzo's 10-to-1 odds, Hashirama suddenly felt a surge of eagerness. With only 2,000 points in hand, he was about to bet on Danzo when Tobirama, standing beside him, grabbed his arm.
Looking at the big blockhead before him, Tobirama was speechless. He had finally figured out his elder brother's questionable decision-making.
"Little Tsuna is your granddaughter!"
"Brother, aren't you going to support her?"
Hearing Tobirama's words, Hashirama came to his senses. But looking at those 10-to-1 odds, his heart felt like it was bleeding. In the end, however, he still bet all 2,000 points on Tsunade.
As for Danzo's 10-to-1 odds, no one placed a bet. Everyone wagered on Tsunade.
Meanwhile, inside the dueling arena, Danzo instantly flared up upon seeing Tsunade before him.
"Hmph! Damn little brat!"
"I never agreed with you becoming Hokage back then! And now you dare attack me?!"
"This is disrespecting your elders and betraying your ancestors!"
"I may not be able to beat the First Hokage, but do you think I can't handle a little girl like you?"
"Today, I'll teach you, an insolent brat who knows no respect, a proper lesson on behalf of Hiruzen!"
As soon as Danzo finished speaking, his hands instantly formed seals, gathering immense chakra in his mouth.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!!"
A powerful, high-pressure wind sphere shot toward Tsunade. This time, Danzo had no intention of holding back. As long as he won just once, the other Hokages wouldn't have much to say. He'd start by making an example of Tsunade!
Facing the incoming Vacuum Great Sphere, Tsunade stomped her foot hard, using one of the Marine Six Styles to dodge the attack. In a flash, she appeared right in front of Danzo.
Monstrous Strength Punch!!
A fist containing terrifying power mercilessly aimed for Danzo's head.
As a move Tsunade had been famous for ages, Danzo was well aware of its power. If it really landed on his head, it would probably be smashed right off.
Facing this strike, a confident smile appeared on Danzo's face. His left hand quickly formed a seal, while his right arm moved to block Tsunade's incoming attack.
Wood Release・Violent Spear Tree!!"
A giant tree instantly sprouted from Danzo's right arm.
"Boom!!"
The moment the tree appeared, Tsunade's Monstrous Strength Punch landed heavily upon it. With that single punch, the newly formed tree was instantly shattered into countless splinters.
Before Tsunade could adjust for a second strike, Danzo took the initiative. Countless branches suddenly surged from the tree she had just shattered, instantly entangling her.
"Got you!"
"You're still too young, Tsunade!"
Seeing Tsunade entangled, a confident smile spread across Danzo's face. He then rapidly formed seals. One of the Sharingan on his right arm lost its light at that moment.
Wood Release・Root Explosion Burial!!"
The moment the technique activated, both Danzo and Tsunade were swallowed by the colossal tree that appeared.
Soon after, Danzo reappeared, having successfully evaded death using Izanagi's ability.
Looking at Tsunade, who had seemingly been assimilated by the giant tree before him, Danzo began to laugh triumphantly.
"Hahahaha!! I won!"
"Announce it now!"
"I won!!"
Watching Danzo shouting incessantly in the dueling arena, the spectators remained eerily calm. Everyone's gaze was fixed on that giant tree.
After yelling for a while with no end to the match declared, a bad feeling rose in Danzo's heart. He hurriedly looked toward the giant tree.
The once sky-obscuring tree was now continuously shrinking. Its aged branches were becoming much more tender.
This bizarre scene made Danzo freeze.
But this was far from over. The sky-obscuring tree even began to shrink in size.
In the blink of an eye, the giant tree had turned into a tiny seedling on the ground.
And Tsunade's figure reappeared before Danzo, though the peach-colored flames burning on her hands made his eyebrows twitch uncontrollably.
"Hiss!!! What ability is this?!"
Tsunade couldn't be bothered to explain to the Danzo before her. She charged at him again, her hands wreathed in peach-colored flames constantly slapping toward him.
Danzo didn't dare let that terrifying ability touch him now, so he could only keep dodging. But facing Tsunade, who excelled in taijutsu, how could Danzo possibly evade her? After a few exchanges, Danzo had been struck several times by Tsunade's strange ability.
"Huh?!"
"What is this?!"
Just as Danzo tried to flee again, peach-colored flames suddenly surged from his body. His entire form began to shrink drastically, quickly turning into the appearance of a little kid.
But this was still far from over. Even after becoming a little kid, Danzo's body continued to shrink. Soon, he vanished directly from the dueling arena.
The bizarre ability didn't even give Danzo a chance to use Shisui's eye ability.
[Duel Concluded]
[Winner: Tsunade]
[First Victory Reward: 1,000 points]
With the duel over, Tsunade emerged from the arena beaming. She had finally gotten back the 1,000 points she'd lost for nothing.
As for Danzo, he didn't dare say much after coming out, quietly shrinking into a corner. But Aoki and the others weren't about to let this old geezer off the hook. After all, there were 1,000 points to be made; they had to squeeze something out of him.
For a time, everyone began taking turns challenging the old man. Starting with Aoki, the dueling arena instantly became a chaotic battleground.
Aoki's single Golden Wheel Reincarnation Explosion stunned everyone. Its terrifying power even split the chat group's dueling arena in half, and that wasn't even the technique's full might.
Besides Aoki, Madara Uchiha, who entered later, directly activated his Susanoo and unleashed a barrage on Danzo.
As for Tobirama, his forbidden techniques were played to perfection. To complement his forbidden arts, Tobirama's awakened Mangekyō ability was spatial. Upon entering the arena, he instantly used Lightning God Teleportation to appear before Danzo, used Mutually Multiplying Explosive Tags, and then hid in a special dimension to watch the show.
The others' abilities were equally varied.
After several duels, Danzo hadn't won a single one. It was unclear if he was just beaten senseless or had completely given up hope.
Even facing the weakest version of Tsunade from the ninja path, Danzo couldn't win. She quickly closed the distance using the Slippery Fruit and Marine Six Styles, then knocked him out with a single punch.
After everyone had taken a turn, Aoki quickly used the kick function.
[Ding! Group Owner Aoki has used the kick function!]
[Target: 5.5th Hokage Shimura Danzo. Agree to kick him from the group?]
Looking at the text on the light screen, Aoki was momentarily surprised. He hadn't expected the kick function to change like this after the chat group's update.
Regarding the vote to kick Danzo, Hashirama and the others naturally all voted in favor. In an instant, it became 10 to 1.
The moment the overwhelming vote concluded, the chat group directly kicked Danzo out.
Simultaneously, just like when the Third Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen was kicked out before:
[Ding! Chat Group Mission Issued]
[Every Hokage world is crucial to the chat group. When a member is kicked out, a new Hokage must be found in that member's world!]
[Mission Issued: In the world of 5.5th Hokage Shimura Danzo, find a new Hokage and help them ascend to the Hokage's position.]
[Mission Reward: Each participating member receives 10,000 points.]
Looking at the mission issued by the chat group, everyone exchanged glances, sharing knowing smiles.
"Let's go, let's go, time to move out!"
"For Konoha!"
"We're about to conquer the myriad realms! We need to recruit someone strong!"
"Then let's go, everyone!!"
As they finished speaking with smiles, a seven-colored light gate appeared before them. To make their Hokage world stronger for the conquest of the myriad realms, and for those 10,000 points, everyone quickly stepped through the light gate.
They headed for the world where the 5.5th Hokage, Danzo, resided.
As for the world ranking... after this chat group update, there were simply too many new functions. They'd have to check it out when they got back!
"Let's move out!"
