Itachi Protected Konoha Once Again

In short—

This clash of spiritual forces ultimately ended with Sasuke Uchiha successfully deflecting Danzo's attack.

Danzo, once again, found himself trapped in the Tsukuyomi Space.

But this time, Danzo has truly reached a dead end!

"Puff!"

Sasuke Uchiha pried out Danzo's Mangekyō Sharingan.

This Sharingan, which belonged to Shisui Uchiha, has returned to the hands of the Uchiha clan.

Danzo suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking extremely weak, his Chakra reserves so low that he could only manage a few breaths.

"Danzo, your end... has come!"

Sasuke Uchiha drew his longsword from his waist, its cold light gleaming, and brought it down!

"Pfft!"

The longsword is stained with blood; the hero's end is near!

"You..."

Danzo's eyes widened, a mixture of shock, anger, resentment, and regret flashing across them before quickly disappearing.

The light in his eyes dimmed rapidly, and his aura grew weaker and weaker.

A powerful and ruthless figure, Shimura Danzō!

"Amaterasu!"

To prevent Danzo from having any further tricks, Sasuke Uchiha set a fire, intending not even to leave Danzo's body behind.

"Danzo!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the Root Organization ninjas were completely stunned.

Danzo died just like that?

He died at the hands of Sasuke Uchiha?

It feels so unreal.

Sasuke Uchiha had been on guard for a long time, and only after Danzo stopped showing up did he turn his attention to Ye Liangnai.

Ye Liangnai immediately released the barrier, Sasuke Uchiha bowed to Ye Liangnai, saying, "Thank you!"

"You did a pretty good job. You're even better than I expected!"

Ye Liangnai praised him, then turned to the Konoha high-ranking officials, "Well then, let's end the show here. Please forgive any inconvenience caused!"

"Alright, that's all settled, I won't bother you any longer!"

After saying that, he prepared to leave with Yugito, Reiko, Sasuke Uchiha.

"You still want to leave?!"

"White Cold Light, stay here!"

The members of the Root Organization, like cats whose tails had been stepped on, all stepped forward to block Ding Si.

"Let me stay? Advisor Mitokado Homura, are you sure?"

Ye Liangnai completely ignored the members of the Root Organization, and instead looked at Mitokado Homura, asking with a smile.

"Get out of here! How long are you planning to keep this up?!"

Mitokado Homura was also taken aback by the audacity of the Root Organization members.

He really wanted to say, "Please, I know you are furious about Danzo's death, and I know you want to take revenge on the killer."

But--

Is Ye Liangnai someone we can mess with? Do you want to drag the entire Konoha into the abyss of destruction?

"Advisor, please avenge Danzo!!"

"Revenge!!"

The members of the Root Organization shouted with absolute determination, showing no intention of dispersing.

"Revenge?"

But Ye Liangnai laughed contemptuously upon hearing this. No one saw how he disappeared; he simply appeared before the Root Organization members. "You little ants, do you think you're worthy?"

"Boom!"

He glared angrily, and a powerful, icy pressure descended, causing the sky to change color and the surrounding air to distort.

These few members of the Root Organization were all forced to their knees, unable to straighten their backs.

"You bunch of people who can't even withstand my aura, and you still want to take revenge on me?"

"Don't you think that's a bit ridiculous?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the pressure intensified several times, shattering the earth!

These members of the Root Organization were pressed into the ground, their faces turning red from the pressure.

"Enough!"

Mitokado Homura's voice came again, his face ashen as he said, "This matter ends here. White Cold Light, leave immediately!"

"Oh? You think you can just leave like that? And they think they can just keep you here? What do you take me for Ye Liangnai!"

Ye Liangnai sneered upon hearing this, "Do you think I, Ye Liangnai, am some kind of clay figure that's easy to bully?"

"Then what else do you want?"

Mitokado Homura asked with an extremely unpleasant expression.

"I don't want anything, but I don't want to leave either. I'll leave whenever I feel like it!"

Ye Liangnai's words caused everyone present to change color in shock.

Especially Mitokado Homura!

He really wanted to yell at those Root Organization members: You idiots, look what you've done!

Ye Liangnai was about to leave!

Everything was fine before!

As a result, things have become even more complicated because of you idiots.

If something happens next, can you afford to take responsibility?

"Whoosh!"

But at that moment, a young man dressed in black with black hair and a cold face appeared in front of Ye Liangnai. "Could you give me the honor of stopping here?"

Upon seeing this mysterious person, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened in surprise.

Everyone present looked as if they had seen a ghost, and Mitokado Homura was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

"What, Itachi Uchiha? Konoha hurt you so much, wronged you, oppressed you, and in the end, you still want to protect them!"

Upon seeing Itachi Uchiha appear, Ye Liangnai asked with amusement.

"It's not about protecting them!"

With his eyes closed, Itachi Uchiha calmly said, "There's no need to start any more conflicts; it's seriously inconsistent with your development philosophy!"

"You and I promised to protect that thing together!"

"Therefore, I will naturally not allow you to break the rules!"

Hearing this, Ye Liangnai smiled and said, "Alright, I'll give you that face!"

Having said that, he withdrew his oppressive aura!

"Let's go, Yugito, Reiko!"

Ye Liangnai, Yugito, and Reiko left, and this time, no one dared to stand in their way.

Sasuke Uchiha looked at Itachi Uchiha, his voice trembling, "You're still alive, that's wonderful!"

He was in tears, and there was no trace of the ruthlessness he had shown just moments before!

"Crying is not manly behavior!"

Itachi Uchiha extended his index finger and flicked Sasuke Uchiha's forehead, then smiled.

"Let's go, the road ahead is still long, keep going!"

"Um!"

Sasuke Uchiha instantly transformed into a child, watching Itachi Uchiha leave with a happy and satisfied expression, showing no lingering attachment to Konoha.

"Wait, Sasuke!!"

But just as Sasuke Uchiha, Itachi Uchiha, and Ye Liangnai walked to the Konoha Gate, a hurried sound suddenly came from behind them.

All five of them couldn't help but look over, only to see Naruto, whose body was wrapped in bandages, rushing towards them.

"Naruto, are you still going to try to keep me here?"

Upon seeing Naruto, Sasuke Uchiha immediately adopted a cold expression.

No, this time I won't try to stop you!

But Naruto's answer this time took Sasuke Uchiha surprise.

"Then what brings you here?!" Sasuke Uchiha asked.
