Chapter 661 Neck Twist to the Right

"That's how ninjas run."

"Will this make you run faster?"

"For them, probably."

"But it still looks incredibly slow."

Jig and Lily chatted back and forth about the unique running style of ninjas, completely ignoring the Third Hokage and other ninjas who were charging towards them menacingly.

Danzo's face had turned from blue to white as he was being choked. If this continued, he would soon have to use his resurrection coin again due to suffocation.

He tried to break free, but the moment Jig grabbed his neck, he felt his chakra rapidly draining away, making it impossible for him to put up any effective resistance.

Seeing that the Third Hokage had finally arrived to provide support, Danzo's eyes lit up with joy, and he was about to struggle to speak.

"Click!"

A crisp sound of bones breaking rang out, and Danzo's expression froze on his face, his neck twisted to the right.

Despite Danzo's brutal death, the Third Hokage remained calm, though a hint of anger flickered in his eyes. He understood Danzo and knew that Danzo would definitely activate Izanagi ahead of time, but this act of killing a high-ranking Konoha official in front of him, the Hokage, had crossed his bottom line.

The ninjas behind him looked on in horror. Apart from a few Root members, most of them were unaware of the overpowered nature of Izanagi.

After all, gouging eyeballs out of an Uchiha's corpse and pressing them onto one's own arm doesn't sound very honorable.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Danzo's corpse in Jig's hand gradually became illusory until it disappeared into thin air.

Then, Giger raised his hand towards an empty spot. Before Danzo's distorted figure could even take shape, Giger released his dark gravity and forcibly pulled him over, his neck once again making intimate contact with Giger's palm.

Danzo's expression was a mixture of shock and rage. The Third Hokage could no longer contain himself. His hands formed hand seals in a blur, and he tilted his head back, spitting out a huge ball of water.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

The fact that the Third Hokage could unleash such a large-scale Water Release technique in a place without water demonstrates the depth of his strength. Many of the Anbu and Root members who came with him had not seen the Third Hokage in action for a long time, and they were all amazed by this scene.

Lily looked at the giant water sphere approaching and said with some surprise,

"Water? They can even manipulate water elements? That's quite effective against ability users."

Danzo, whose neck was being choked by Jig, twitched his ears and thought to himself.

"What kind of 'ability user' is this woman talking about? Could it be that they're both afraid of water?"

However, as soon as Danzo had this idea, Jig proved it to him with his actions.

A semi-transparent, light black sphere slowly emerged around Giger. The enormous water sphere, dozens of times larger than the light black sphere, vanished without a trace the moment it made contact, like a fish entering the sea, without even a splash.

The ninjas who had just been praising the three Hokage were suddenly stunned. They had never seen such an ability to directly nullify ninjutsu before. What's more, the nullified ninjutsu was performed by the Third Hokage, one of the strongest ninjas in the world.

"Click!"

Another crisp sound rang out, and Danzo's neck twisted to the right once more.

Then, another brand new Danzo was sucked in from the same place and once again grabbed by the neck and lifted into the air by Jig.

While repeating this process, Giger didn't even glance at Danzo once, but instead turned to Lily with a smile and said,

"Yes, if a Devil Fruit user encounters a Water Release ninja at sea, it would indeed be a huge headache, with a very high probability of being killed on their first encounter."

Having spent more time with Giger, Lily gradually began to understand the novel terms that came out of his mouth, such as "first impression kill." She nodded thoughtfully and commented,

"These so-called ninjas are generally weak, but they also have many unique skills."

Lily's words were heard by everyone in the room. The assessment of "generally weak" clearly touched a nerve, and for a moment, everyone was indignant, but no one dared to step forward.

Fortunately, Giger salvaged their reputation by speaking out.

"What we've seen so far is only the visible power of the ninja world; there are actually some reasonably strong individuals among them."

Lily curled her lip and said dismissively,

"Maybe."

At this moment, Danzo, his face flushed red, managed to speak with difficulty.

"Who are you?"

"Click!"

Snapped!

Including the time with Lily, when Giger captured Danzo who had been resurrected for the fifth time, the Third Hokage naturally couldn't just watch Danzo get twisted around the neck by Giger time and time again. He used ninjutsu of the four elements of wind, fire, lightning, and earth in succession, but without exception, they were all absorbed by Giger.

After his final attack, Earth Dragon Bullet, proved ineffective, the Third Hokage finally realized something was wrong and exclaimed in surprise,

"This is Dark Escape! How do you know Dark Escape too!? Masaka..."

Gigg tilted his head, finally looking directly at the Third Hokage, but his gaze was as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Hey Third Hokage, are you really suffering from dementia? We've met more than once, and you're only recognizing me now?"

The familiar tone, the familiar abilities—the third generation finally confirmed Gigg's identity, and said...

"You're the Nine-Tails... No! You can't be the Nine-Tails, how did you possess Naruto!?"

Apart from Giger, the Third Hokage, and Danzo, everyone else present was completely confused. Giger laughed.

"You wouldn't understand even if I told you. As for Naruto, that kid is my student, right? Did you return the Fourth Hokage's house to him?"

The third generation was taken aback. Recognizing Gigg's unfathomable strength, he slowly nodded and said...

"Naruto has already moved in."

"Such a big house, have you arranged for someone to clean it up yet?"

"...All packed up."

"Well, this can be arranged easily, why didn't you do it sooner?"

"......"

The conversation between Jig and the Third Hokage left all the ninjas present stunned, wondering who the Hokage really was. Why was their Third Hokage reporting to the enemy?

The Third Hokage had no choice but to suffer in silence. From the moment he confirmed Gigg's identity, he knew that Gigg was someone he could never be an enemy of. The huge meteorite that hung over Konoha that night was no dream!

The person before me truly possesses the power to destroy Konoha!

At that time, Gigg didn't even have a physical form. The Third Hokage speculated that Gigg was definitely in some kind of restricted state. But the Gigg of today is a real, authentic being. So how terrifying must his power be?

Three generations dared not gamble.
