After sprinting for several minutes, Kaze arrived near Naka Shrine.
In his memory, on this timeline, Shisui had only clashed with Root once.
That was when Danzo learned about Kotoamatsukami.
On one hand, he feared Shisui would use such power against him.

It was not impossible.
After all, the last person to activate Susanoo had been the renowned Madara.
Furthermore, the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, had concluded that the mastermind behind the Night of the Nine-Tails' Rampage was also Madara Uchiha.
Naturally, Susanoo was a
