Danzo did have a few trump cards up his sleeve, but against Shinji as he was now, they weren't enough.
Even the Mangekyō Sharingan that held Shisui's Kotoamatsukami wouldn't pose much trouble, as long as Shinji was careful.
There was only one reason Shinji wouldn't let Sasuke join the fight.
Danzo had used the village's greater good to force Itachi Uchiha to slaughter the entire Uchiha Clan. Now Shinji would use the village's greater good to force the Konoha Ninja to deal with Danzo.
If the Uchiha got involved, even by throwing a single Kunai at Danzo, Shinji would lose.
He wanted an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
The battle raging nearby continued.
As Danzo slaughtered his way through the battlefield with Wood Release, the Konoha Ninja around him stopped holding back and unleashed their full strength.
Before long, the restrained atmosphere of the battlefield gave way to the bloodshed and brutality befitting a great battle.
Ninjutsu and ninja tools tore through the battlefield, while roars and cries rang out all around—just like the Night of the Massacre.
"Now this is more like it!"
Shinji grinned faintly.
He wouldn't let things spiral out of control just to avenge the Uchiha Clan's massacre. After all, the Uchiha leadership's arrogance and indecision had also played a part in the clan's destruction.
But the chief culprits had to be eliminated!
The Third had been Hokage and the village's highest authority. He had watched the situation escalate, allowing Danzo to ambush Shisui and ignite the conflict. Even if that hadn't been his intention, he was still responsible for failing to act.
That was why Shinji had let him die at Orochimaru's hands.
Shinji wouldn't actively seek revenge on him, but at a crucial moment, no one should expect Shinji to
