Behind him, the rest of the Uchiha entered one after another, each bearing injuries.
Everyone in the conference room turned to look, only to see the last Uchiha drag in a disheveled figure.
When that person raised his head, everyone present drew a sharp breath.
It was none other than Shimura Danzō, who had not attended the meeting.
At this moment, Shimura Danzō had long lost his former bearing.
Not only were his clothes tattered, but one of his arms had been severed at the shoulder.
Even after rudimentary treatment, the wound was still seeping blood.
