Chapter 25: Danzo: You are an Uchiha!
Pfft...
Danzo stumbled backward in a sorry state, clutching his right shoulder tightly.
A large chunk of flesh was missing from his right shoulder, but strangely, no blood was flowing out.
His gaze was still filled with shock; in that single attack, he thought he had seen his teacher...
In a double sense of the word!
"Who are you?"
Danzo struggled to maintain his composure, his eyes beginning to appraise the figure before him.
An orange spiral mask, a black robe patterned with red clouds...
Suddenly, he realized something!
"What is your relationship with Orochimaru?"
"You mean that rotten snake?"
The voice of the figure hidden beneath the mask was somewhat hoarse, making it impossible to determine who it was.
"Speaking of which, I should thank him for his records. Although he probably won't be happy, at least it let me watch a great show."
"You..."
Danzo's expression grew even colder upon hearing this. How could he have imagined that the intelligence from Hyuga Makoto was actually true?
Orochimaru really joined an organization?!
What made it even harder for him to bear was that Orochimaru's files had been spied upon by someone?
His scalp was tingling with fear. To deal with Shisui, he had intentionally disabled the barrier in this area.
This was to avoid detection, but now he had become the prey?!
"But it doesn't matter."
The Mysterious Person spoke indifferently, his eyes fixed on the Sharingan in Danzo's other hand.
"I still need some other materials, so I'll have to trouble you."
As he spoke, the Chakra within him began to surge.
An inexplicable aura, full of nature, echoed around him. This power was extremely unfamiliar to Danzo, yet somewhat familiar!
This feeling... it seemed a bit like a certain power belonging to the First Hokage?
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
Danzo didn't dare to think further and quickly formed the hand seals.
With a breath, the accumulated Chakra shot out like bullets!
However, the Mysterious Person merely glanced over, and the Ninja Sword in his hand danced, creating streaks of brilliant slashes.
The rapidly approaching Chakra wind bullets were instantly deflected away completely.
"This kind of perception?"
Danzo was somewhat surprised. Every strike was so clean and decisive, and each one caused his wind bullets to dissipate.
This level of insight immediately made him think of something!
"Could it be..."
Buzz—
However, the Mysterious Person pressed forward rapidly. As Danzo dodged backward, he formed seals again!
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!"
A massive high-pressure wind sphere advanced swiftly, but the Mysterious Person slowly raised his Ninja Sword.
Whoosh—
The wind sphere instantly split in two, rapidly smashing outwards. The valley immediately echoed with booming sounds!
And the sharp blade edge sliced directly across his body.
Specks of blood splattered. If he hadn't reacted extremely quickly, this strike wouldn't have been so simple!
"As expected of an Uchiha..."
Furthermore, his expression was incredibly grim. Even though the figure before him was completely obscured by the mask, he was certain of his judgment.
Only the Sharingan of an Uchiha could achieve this level!
"Are you planning a rebellion?!"
"?"
The Mysterious Person paused slightly, then accelerated again, instantly rushing back in front of Danzo.
"If you say so, then so be it."
The hoarse voice, accompanied by the sharp edge of the blade, forced Danzo to dodge awkwardly.
But just as he dodged, the Ninja Sword wrapped around him like maggots clinging to bone!
"Moreover, don't you also possess a Sharingan? It's just that..."
You used it for Izanagi; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to show myself!
After all, the Transformation Jutsu has a chance of being seen through by the Sharingan...
Clearly, this Mysterious Person was Hyuga Makoto!
After sending his Shadow Clone back, he rushed over quickly.
The valley with the Ninja Shrine and the two Great Buddhas was too recognizable; he had visited this place as a child.
Initially, he didn't dare to act rashly; this was no laughing matter!
However, when he used the Tenseigan and discovered that the barrier here was deactivated, and Danzo had sent all his Root members to hunt down Shisui because he was fighting on his 'home turf.'
Furthermore, Danzo was excited after achieving Mangekyo, his defenses were insufficient, and his Chakra was chaotic due to losing a Sharingan...
Hyuga Makoto immediately realized this was his best opportunity; this was truly an 'advantageous position'!
"But I need to be quick, to avoid trouble..."
With this thought, he became even more energetic, making it increasingly difficult for Danzo to defend himself.
"I can't let this continue..."
Danzo evaded an attack once more, his expression somewhat grim.
The First Hokage's cells were draining too much of his focus and Chakra, which was highly disadvantageous for him!
And this guy was too dangerous, able to enter and leave Konoha freely and having connections with Orochimaru.
"Most importantly, this guy might be an Uchiha..."
Danzo made a decision; he had to pass this information on!
But just then, Hyuga Makoto's blade struck again.
"Getting distracted at a time like this, isn't that a bit unwise?"
"Hmph!"
Seeing the fierce incoming strike, Danzo gritted his teeth and immediately reached out to meet it.
However, his hand also opened quickly; Shisui's Sharingan quietly appeared, moving towards the blade edge!
"Hm?"
Hyuga Makoto was momentarily stunned when he saw this scene. He immediately deflected the blade edge, avoiding a head-on collision between the blade and the Sharingan.
Simultaneously, he grabbed Danzo's hand and forcibly ripped off the Sharingan.
Then came a kick, slamming hard into Danzo's abdomen!
Bang—
Accompanied by a muffled thud, Danzo was instantly sent flying backward, but a trace of viciousness flickered in his eyes.
Although his heart ached over the destruction of the Mangekyo, he still had Shisui's other eye!
"Exploding Tag, huh..."
Hyuga Makoto's gaze sharpened; he naturally noticed the condition of the eye in his hand!
"Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere Barrage."
At that very moment, Danzo formed seals again.
Saplings had grown on his shoulder, yet he still completed the jutsu!
"Tch, this old man..."
Hyuga Makoto looked at the dense cluster of high-pressure wind spheres and knew exactly what Danzo was thinking.
The guy was trying to run!
And even while running, he didn't forget to destroy this Mangekyo and the chunk of flesh on the ground, planning to use this jutsu to 'call for backup' from Konoha!
"But I have to thank Orochimaru..."
Tsunade had once stomped out an Exploding Tag. Hyuga Makoto's situation wasn't comparable to Tsunade's, but he could still delay the explosion!
He lightly tapped the Exploding Tag, and the instantly ignited tag paused. He ripped it off.
At the same time, he flashed towards the piece of flesh on the ground, and the high-pressure wind spheres and the Exploding Tag detonated.
Boom—
Instantly, a violent explosion echoed through the valley!
The cliff walls began to collapse due to the explosion, and massive smoke and dust enveloped the entire valley.
But within the dust cloud, a small figure flashed out momentarily, then vanished again...
...
The moon quietly rose over a cliff not far from the Uchiha compound.
Shisui, having just finished dealing with the Root Ninja, spoke to Uchiha Itachi with his back turned, his voice weary yet calm.
"The Uchiha coup d'état can no longer be stopped. Once civil war breaks out, other Villages will surely take advantage of the situation, and war will likely become unavoidable."
"Shisui..."
Uchiha Itachi murmured, but Shisui's voice remained placid.
"I intended to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup, but Danzo stole my right eye. He doesn't trust me; he insists on protecting the Village his own way."
As he spoke, Shisui turned around. His remaining Sharingan was still crimson, but it was also filled with helpless despair.
"I fear he won't let my left eye go either, so before that happens..."
As he spoke, he reached towards his own eye.
"I entrust this eye to you. I can only ask you, my dearest friend, to protect the future of both Konoha and the Uchiha."
"..."
Uchiha Itachi stared blankly at everything. After a long while, he closed his eyes, and a crow descended from the sky, landing on Shisui's hand.
The moment it grasped the Sharingan, it dissolved into a shower of feathers and vanished.
"I accept it. What do you plan to do?"
Uchiha Itachi asked in a low voice, but he suddenly saw Shisui take a few steps back, already standing at the edge of the cliff.
"If I die, the situation should change somewhat. I have already left a suicide note."
"Wait a moment, Shisui!"
Uchiha Itachi was truly panicked at this moment, but Shisui continued to step back.
"Don't stop me, Itachi. If you are still my friend..."
As soon as the words fell, Shisui leaped off. Uchiha Itachi flew forward, trying to grab him, but they missed each other.
Uchiha Itachi watched Shisui's body plummet, an immense pain frantically stimulating his brain.
His eyes turned scarlet, and the three tomoe began to spin rapidly!
And at the bottom of the cliff, a pair of eyes was quietly watching all of this...
