Chapter 186 - Chapter 186: Infinity Means Nothing

"Boom! Boom! BOOM!"

Angel Leng's acceleration tore the air apart, shooting her forward several times the speed of sound.

Her silver blade gleamed, her flaming sword roared, and the pair carved trails of light through the battlefield as she relentlessly pressured Shimura Danzo in close combat.

Even while striking from every possible angle, she was simultaneously analyzing the core of Danzo's ability — the Limitless technique that the chat group members had warned her about.

Danzo, on the other hand, couldn't care less about the lives being shredded underfoot.

While Angel Leng used every trick she had to avoid collateral damage, Danzo unleashed Blue, Red, and raw spatial crushing without restraint, pulverizing everything around him into dust.

Explosions. Screams. Civilians shouting in panic.

Konoha had become a full-blown warzone.

Genin, civilians, merchants — everyone fled desperately, ducking behind broken structures or sprinting for their lives. Jōnin and foreign spies took cover on the outskirts, staring wide-eyed at the duel tearing through the village.

Even if no one knew who Angel Leng was, anyone with a functioning brain could read the situation:

A blonde angel with white wings descending into Konoha?

Yeah.

She was definitely the Third Hokage's reinforcement.

And the outcome of this battle?

It would decide whether Shimura Danzo actually became the Fourth Hokage.

"Ugh—!"

Uchiha Shisui, who had been pretending to be unconscious, instantly used Body Flicker to avoid Danzo's strike — then flopped right back to the ground like a man committed to the bit.

"Uchiha Shisui!! Still playing dead!?" Danzo roared.

"You brat! Don't you want to revive the glory of the Uchiha!? Come help me take down this intruder! I've devoted my entire life to Konoha — she's the real threat!!"

"I'm sorry, Danzo-sama."

Shisui opened his eyes, awkward smile twitching.

"But there's absolutely no way I'm fighting that terrifying woman. She'd insta-kill me."

Angel Leng floated lazily above them, arms crossed, voice amused.

"Well, at least you're self-aware. This is between us and Danzo. Sticking your head in would just get you killed."

She wasn't bluffing — the entire "stalemate" she and Danzo were in was only because she was farming mission evaluation points.

Jaeger still hadn't acted.

And once Jaeger stepped in?

The battle would end instantly.

"Bullshit!" Danzo snapped. "I know you awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan! You possess that ultimate Eye Technique — Kotoamatsukami! Give it to me— Eh?"

In front of his eyes, Shisui vanished in a blur that even Danzo's enhanced perception barely caught. A true teleportation-like flicker.

Shunshin Shisui, living up to his name.

[Danzo is no leader, and he hates the Uchiha. Fugaku didn't return because of him — either defected or died. If we follow Danzo, the Uchiha will never have a good ending.]

Shisui's thoughts raced as he sprinted toward the Uchiha compound.

He was a firm supporter of the Third Hokage's faction.

If Danzo was truly overwhelmingly strong, Shisui could have accepted it.

But clearly… Danzo was being pushed back.

And more importantly — that blonde, winged woman wasn't afraid of Danzo at all.

Her eyes looked at him like he was an insignificant clown.

"This is a gamble," he murmured.

"If Danzo loses, the Uchiha win big. If Danzo wins… then I'll use Kotoamatsukami on him and bring back the Third Hokage myself."

Then—

"Hey, big bro Shisui~!"

A light, playful voice cut in.

His Mangekyō Sharingan flared instantly.

"Who the hell!?"

From the shadow of the rubble, a stunning girl stepped out, smiling softly.

"Uchiha Miyuki."

"Miyuki! You're safe—thank goodness!"

To Shisui, Miyuki was the monster who erased Sunagakure in one night.

Her strength might even surpass his.

But then he froze.

"Wait… where's Clan Head Fugaku? And do you know that blonde woman?"

"Uchiha Fugaku sided with Danzo to kill me," Miyuki replied, brushing her hair casually.

"My friend killed him. And yes — the blonde woman fighting Danzo? That's Angel Leng. She's my friend."

"…I can't blame you," Shisui said quietly.

He felt the pain of Fugaku's death, but he didn't blame Miyuki.

No one could tell her to just sit still and die.

"Thank you for understanding, big bro Shisui."

Relief flickered in her eyes.

Then she asked:

"Izumi, Kurenai, Mikoto — are they safe?"

"They're fine. Confined in the clan grounds, with maids caring for them."

Shisui nodded, then frowned again.

"That angel fell from the sky. So the monkey summons threw the Third Hokage to you. He's safe now?"

Miyuki nodded.

"Yes. Tsunade-sama is treating him."

"Tsunade is here? That's great, but…" Shisui exhaled.

"Are you confident? I don't think Angel Leng can harm Danzo. His ability is bizarre. Even Kotoamatsukami may not work. If you need me—"

"Pff—"

Miyuki burst out laughing.

"…Why are you laughing?" Shisui asked, baffled.

"Relax, Bro. With His Highness Jaeger here, Danzo Shimura is on the level of a chicken or a stray dog. What you're watching is just Leng-san and the others passing time. This isn't even a real fight."

"Ah? …Playing?"

Shisui looked around at the ruins of Konoha.

If this was "playing," then even the Shinobi World Wars couldn't compete.

But then a terrifying thought struck him:

"So Angel Leng isn't the main reinforcement…?"

"Who is this 'His Highness Jaeger'?" Shisui asked.

"Is he actually capable of dealing with Danzo? Even Angel Leng's attacks can't touch him."

"Deal with Danzo?"

Miyuki blinked, then smirked proudly.

"You underestimate His Highness Jaeger. Do you know the colossal bone dragon that fell from the sky, shook the entire continent, and killed the Third Raikage and all those Iwagakure shinobi?"

Shisui froze.

"…That worldwide incident… is related to your friend?"

"That bone dragon was just toy-level for him."

"…."

Shisui stared at her.

"…Miyuki, is this Jaeger person the Sage of Six Paths? Or are you running a fever?"

"GET LOST!"

She kicked him lightly.

"Just follow me and help save the girls. Once His Highness Jaeger moves, you'll understand. Danzo Shimura is nothing but a clown."

"…Alright. I'll trust you."

But worry lingered.

If Jaeger really existed…

What were his intentions toward Konoha?

Toward the Uchiha?

Chat Group — Live Commentary

Jibril: Did that idiot Miyuki go to save the girls?

Uchiha Madara: That useless woman only cares about that. Her system mission is becoming Fourth Hokage. No reward from the chat group mission, so all she has to do is wait for Jaeger to clean up and she gets her system rewards.

Yamamoto Mei: …This slut really turned "lying down and winning" into an art form.

Kasumigaoka Utaha: Not her fault the World Noble pampers her too much. If Jaeger didn't step in against Danzo later, she'd be panicking.

Karuizawa Kei: Hehe~ Miyuki and I are similar. We both rely on Mr. Jaeger. But that's only because he's so reliable.

Luo Hao: Indeed. As a god-killer, even I instinctively rely on Jaeger when facing powerful enemies.

Luo Hao: By the way, Angel Leng, you still can't break Danzo's Limitless? Don't you need Jaeger? If Red hits you, you'd be badly injured even with your durability.

Angel Leng: No need. I can't access the Sacred Knowledge Treasury in this world, but my personal computer is still planet-level. This Limitless is fascinating — an ability from another universe I've never seen. But if I keep fighting, I'll crack it soon.

Esdeath: Fast work. Technology gods have their strengths too. But then… doesn't that leave Utaha in danger?

Kasumigaoka Utaha: I'm fine. My power level is close to Six Paths now. Naruto-world rewards don't matter to me. Better let Angel Leng farm. Their Angel Civilization and Queen Keisha must be curious about otherworld abilities.

Angel Leng: If you want to fight too, there are two idiots trying to sneak-attack me. You can take them.

Utaha: Sneak attack? …Ah, I see them.

Back to the battlefield

Angel Leng's speed shot ever higher, each movement accompanied by ear-splitting sonic booms.

Danzo was sweating now — releasing Blue and Red over and over to smash the terrain.

"Damn it! She's too fast! Even if she can't break Limitless at this rate, she's draining my energy! I'll collapse before she does!"

Even with Gojo-level strength, Danzo was still an old man.

His stamina was collapsing.

Another of his attacks whiffed as Angel Leng stepped through a wormhole.

Danzo finally snapped.

"Orochimaru! Hiashi! What are you waiting for!? If I fall, Hiruzen won't spare you!"

Hidden in the shadows, Orochimaru and Hyūga Hiashi both frowned.

Danzo was right — they were already past the point of forgiveness.

Orochimaru took out the Kusanagi Blade.

Hiashi activated Gentle Fist chakra through his palms.

"Soft Fist: Eight Trigrams Air Palm!"

"Kusanagi — Heavenly Thrust!"

Both launched their strongest long-range attacks—

Then—

A deafening roar shattered the sky.

"GEYAAAAAAAAAA—!!"

A colossal pink dragon, thousands of meters long, twisted through the clouds. Its roar alone created a hurricane that tore the battlefield apart again.

"AH—!!"

Orochimaru and Hiashi were lifted like ragdolls, ears bursting, blood spraying from nose and mouth.

Danzo looked up.

"Pink dragon… Momonosuke from that pirate world memory? No… he's a weakling. That body wasn't this massive. Another transmigrator!?"

Then the dragon spoke in a soft, feminine voice—

"Thunderstorm."

"BOOOOOOOM!"

Two enormous pillars of lightning — each dozens of meters thick — slammed down onto Orochimaru and Hiashi.

They screamed, bodies charring instantly, then collapsed onto the cracked ground, motionless.

"A woman… so she IS a transmigrator!" Danzo hissed.

He ignored Angel Leng completely, raising his hand toward the dragon.

"Reversal Technique —"

"HELLO?? Focus on your opponent, Danzo-brat!"

Danzo didn't even glance at Angel Leng.

"SLIC—!"

Blood sprayed viciously.

Danzo's breath caught as agony exploded in his brain.

Angel Leng hovered before him, holding his severed right arm.

"Limitless is planetary-level at best. Did you really think I couldn't analyze it without the Sacred Knowledge Treasury?"

Her eyes glowed cold and divine — a war angel delivering judgment.

"Never underestimate an angel who has fought for tens of thousands of years."

She pointed her flaming blade at him.

"You're just a child in my eyes, Danzo Shimura."
