"That's Elder Danzo's head and arm, but why...?"
"Why does he have the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan?"
"That's..."
"Shisui! That's Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan!!"
Everyone saw it.
At that moment, countless Konoha Ninja were stunned.
Chen Yiban held Shimura Danzo's head in one hand, with numerous scarlet eyes on the arm...
The many Konoha Ninja were dumbfounded!
Even people from the Hyuga Clan with sharp eyesight used their Byakugan to see that the eye on Shimura Danzo's right side was the Mangekyō Sharingan of the man once known as "Body Flicker Shisui."
How was that possible? How could a Konoha elder have an Uchiha Sharingan?
And not just any Sharingan—it was Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō!
"It really is Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan."
Hyuga Hiashi had his Byakugan activated, too. He could see the right eye in Shimura Danzo's head, dangling from Chen Yiban's hand in the distance... It was the Mangekyō Sharingan that had once belonged to Uchiha Shisui.
"That bastard, Danzo!" Tsunade and Jiraiya immediately figured out what must have happened.
They couldn't help cursing aloud!
Nearby,
"How could this happen? How could our Uchiha eyes...?"
Uchiha Sasuke stared at the head of Shimura Danzo in Chen Yiban's hand, then at the arm that had just mysteriously disappeared, its length covered in Sharingan.
Uchiha Sasuke was first shocked, unable to believe it.
Then his face filled with fury!!
There was no need to guess how Shimura Danzo had gotten so many Sharingan for his right arm.
The Uchiha Clan Massacre!
"Damn it!!" Uchiha Sasuke clenched his fists in anger.
In response,
"Shocked?"
Chen Yiban had already removed Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan—Kotoamatsukami—and tossed Shimura Danzo's head away. He looked at the stunned crowd of Konoha Ninja across from him.
Especially... Uchiha Sasuke!
Then,
"No need to be shocked!"
"No need to be surprised!"
"Because... ever since Konoha was founded, it has always owed the Uchiha."
"Now, it's simply gone from owing them to persecuting them outright."
As everyone watched, Chen Yiban stored Kotoamatsukami in his system's internal space and spoke with cold indifference.
"Stop spouting nonsense and trying to manipulate people!" Tsunade Hime retorted sharply.
Chen Yiban didn't look at her with his scarlet Eternal Mangekyo. Instead, to his surprise, he turned his attention to Uchiha Sasuke, who stood there furious and stunned.
"You must be one of the few Uchiha still alive. What do you say, young Uchiha? Want to come over to my side?"
Chen Yiban smiled faintly, his cold Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan fixed on Uchiha Sasuke as he suddenly made the offer.
"Izuna...!"
Looking at Uchiha Sasuke's face, so much like someone from his memories, Chen Yiban felt his heart stir.
"Sasuke would never join someone like you!" Naruto Uzumaki stepped forward indignantly.
"Is that so?" Chen Yiban's Eternal Mangekyo gaze remained fixed on Uchiha Sasuke.
"I..." Uchiha Sasuke clearly hesitated.
Chen Yiban's words had genuinely tempted him!
That was only natural!
Uchiha Sasuke craved power. And Chen Yiban had displayed overwhelming strength from beginning to end!
What was more, to everyone present, Chen Yiban was Uchiha Madara!!
Uchiha Sasuke thought so, too.
That meant he felt a sense of kinship with someone from his own clan!
By comparison, Shimura Danzo was a Konoha elder who had stolen the Sharingan of the Uchiha, the clan that had been massacred...
Sasuke had already been planning to leave Konoha and seek out Orochimaru.
Now that he had heard Chen Yiban's offer, how could he not be tempted?
"Ha." Chen Yiban could see that Uchiha Sasuke was wavering, and couldn't help but smile.
Then,
Fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh, fwoosh—
All the Shadow Clones around him vanished in an instant, their power once again concentrated in Chen Yiban's body alone.
"I'll ask one last time... Will you leave Konoha, or choose to die?"
Standing within the body of Susanoo: Stage Two, Chen Yiban fixed the crowd with his Eternal Mangekyo and spoke coldly.
"Madara, what exactly do you want?" Jiraiya shouted angrily.
"Jiraiya, there's no point talking to someone like this. Let's fight together!" Tsunade Hime said from nearby.
At the same time,
"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!!"
Poof—
Tsunade Hime bit her thumb, then slapped her hand against the ground. A massive cloud of white smoke burst into view.
Right after, everyone at the scene saw...
Tsunade Hime stood with her arms folded atop a giant slug that had appeared out of nowhere. It was nearly a hundred meters long.
"That's Lady Tsunade's summon, Katsuyu!!"
Looking at the giant summon, Kakashi couldn't help speaking up.
"That's from back then..." Naruto Uzumaki recalled the battle not long ago between Tsunade Hime and Jiraiya against Orochimaru.
This was Naruto's second time seeing Katsuyu!
"Tsunade..." Seeing that Tsunade had used Summoning Jutsu to call forth Katsuyu, Jiraiya smiled faintly.
Then,
"Ninja Art: Summoning Jutsu!!"
Jiraiya bit his thumb, too, and pressed it against the ground.
Poof—
The giant summoning toad, Gamabunta, appeared!
"Awesome!!"
"So huge!"
"They really are two of the legendary Sannin!"
"So powerful!"
"Thank goodness. We still have hope!"
The surrounding Konoha Ninja looked like drowning people who had grabbed a lifeline, desperately searching for a chance to survive.
"This scene really brings back memories." Jiraiya glanced at Tsunade atop the giant slug beside him and couldn't help sighing.
Only...
One of the Sannin was still missing!
"Jiraiya, what the hell did you call me here for this time?"
Gamabunta glanced irritably at Jiraiya, who was standing on his head.
He almost threw him off right then and there!
"Lady Tsunade, it's good to see you again," Katsuyu said gently.
"Hm? You even summoned Katsuyu? And this is Konoha, isn't it? Jiraiya, what kind of enemy are you facing?"
Seeing Katsuyu, Gamabunta's irritation turned to a little surprise.
At the same time,
Bunta glanced at his surroundings.
Then: Holy crap! When did someone make this brand-new trench, over a thousand meters long and nearly a hundred meters wide?!
"Is this really Konoha?" Bunta was bewildered.
In response,
"Bunta, Katsuyu... take a look at the person across from us. Do you recognize him?"
Jiraiya stood atop Gamabunta and spoke solemnly.
"Hm?" ×2
At his words, the two great summons, Bunta and Katsuyu, both froze in surprise.
Then,
They looked across at their opponent.
"Hmm... He looks a little familiar. I feel like I've seen him somewhere before," Bunta muttered, smacking his lips.
"He seems to have a very powerful presence!" Katsuyu added.
"Wait... That's..."
Suddenly, Gamabunta realized something.
"Holy crap!!!"
