The furious roar coming from the village was so familiar that Uchiha Shisui was utterly horrified.
It really was!
That was his younger brother!
Jinghuo Uchiha!
He hurriedly pressed his left eye back into place.
"Shisui..." Uchiha Itachi's voice was filled with uncertain concern.
"He is my younger brother!" Uchiha Shisui said firmly.
He had already caused Jinghuo Uchiha's parents to disappear. He could not let anything happen to Jinghuo Uchiha again!
Even if it meant making Jinghuo Uchiha a Missing-nin, he would not hesitate!
Struggle appeared in Uchiha Itachi's eyes.
For some reason, his mind did not conjure up his clan members, father, mother, or the villagers. All he could see was his best friend, Uchiha Shisui, standing before him, and his younger brother, Second Pillar.
The two had been placed on opposite sides of a scale, leaving him unable to choose for a moment, his heart filled with painful conflict.
"Don't act rashly. Wait here for me." After saying that, Uchiha Shisui hurried toward the village.
Uchiha Itachi was left standing alone at the edge of the cliff in silence.
The aura around him was suffocating. The struggle and helplessness it carried made anyone who saw him seem to hear a silent cry of agony, stirring pity in their hearts.
The Three-Tomoe in his eyes spun without pause.
Eye power surged and churned.
In the end, it gradually calmed down.
Root Base.
"Trash!" Shimura Danzō roared furiously.
There were over seventy people in all of Root, and he had sent out one-fifth of their fighting force. Yet not a single one had returned!
Uchiha Shisui was far stronger than he had imagined.
But in the end, there was only one reason for it—the Sharingan!
He stared at the eye inside the Nutrient Tube in his hand, his gaze flickering obscurely as he wondered about something.
At that moment, a violent boom erupted above his head.
Cracks had actually appeared in the seemingly indestructible rock overhead.
Shimura Danzō was deeply alarmed.
"This is..."
The center of the village.
An unnamed Jonin stared blankly at the half-body Raging Red Skull Giant before him. Wild flames burned atop it, radiating blistering high temperature that left his mouth dry.
At first, when he saw a little boy with a Three-Tomoe Sharingan walk into the center of the village, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong.
But when he thought of how an Uchiha little brat who was only five years old had awakened a Three-Tomoe Sharingan, he immediately wanted to capture him and take him before the Third Hokage to claim credit.
Yet he never expected that the moment he called out, "Brat," that the Uchiha brat would immediately use a big move.
A furious crimson half-body Skeleton Giant appeared and began smashing the ground without a word.
The surrounding houses creaked, while the villagers fled their homes with terrified screams.
Before long, the houses had all collapsed.
The ground split apart, forming ravines more than half a meter deep. Falling into one would be extremely dangerous.
Yet that Uchiha little brat was still deeply dissatisfied.
A pair of blue-black hands actually reached out from those abyssal demon-like eyes and seized the Uchiha little brat's heart.
The blue-black hands pulled out a mass of orange flame, as though offering it as a sacrifice. The Fire Style Chakra Mode had been sacrificed by him.
The next second, scorching orange flame appeared over the Raging Red Skull Giant's body.
The Raging Red Skull Giant's destructive power increased dramatically. Houses crumbled and shattered one after another, while villagers fled screaming in terror.
The ravines created by the cracked ground had already reached a terrifying depth of three to four meters, and they continued deepening.
Fortunately, that furious crimson flaming figure had not noticed him.
But the ground looked as though it were about to collapse entirely.
The other ninjas who had just arrived were all dumbfounded.
"Stop! Stop at once!" Sarutobi Hiruzen hurried over.
Jinghuo Uchiha did not stop at all.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the end...
Boom—!
The scorching furious crimson skeletal fist came down, and everything within a thousand meters collapsed.
[Mission I told you to call Root! completed. You have obtained Fire Style Chakra Mode: Emperor Flame Mode.] [Prerequisite Fire Style Chakra Mode detected as absent. Fire Style Chakra Mode: Emperor Flame Mode is temporarily unavailable.]
Jinghuo Uchiha's expression was cold and stern.
Danzo was not dead yet!
Meanwhile, Sarutobi Hiruzen's face had gone pale.
He knew that Root was hidden several hundred meters beneath Konoha!
"Danzo..." He could not believe Danzo had just been buried alive like that.
At that moment, a figure appeared, filled with rage.
"Are you Uchiha trying to betray the village?!"
"Danzo..." Sarutobi Hiruzen let out a breath of relief.
Quite a few Jonin also relaxed, all wondering how this Uchiha little brat would be dealt with.
But Jinghuo Uchiha ignored them as though he had seen an enemy. He stared fixedly at Danzo, then charged straight at him with the scorching Raging Red Skull Giant.
"Danzo! Give my brother's eye back!!!"
Everyone around them was horrified.
For a moment, the scene descended into chaos.
"Protect Lord Hokage!"
The ninjas hurried toward Sarutobi Hiruzen, but someone was faster than them.
"Protect Lord Danzo!"
The Root Members hurriedly leaped out, even knocking several ninjas aside.
Danzo looked at Jinghuo Uchiha charging toward him, his face turning ashen. He had not expected this little brat to be so stubborn.
Was he really going to ignore the consequences?
"No! The Uchiha would not dare!" Though reason told him that, seeing Jinghuo Uchiha charge forward without the slightest hesitation, he quietly chose to activate Izanagi.
Even wasting it was better than losing his life.
"Stop! Stop right now!" Sarutobi Hiruzen knew that Jinghuo Uchiha was Uchiha Shisui's younger brother, so he did not want to make a move against Jinghuo Uchiha for the time being.
Or perhaps he still naively believed that, as the Hokage, everyone in Konoha would obey his orders, and that Jinghuo Uchiha would listen to him.
But reality proved that the better he imagined things would be, the more absurdly wrong he was.
The scorching furious crimson fist descended.
The Root Members rapidly formed hand seals and spat out in unison.
"Water Style: Water Shark Wave!"
More than a dozen small pools of water converged, forming a massive torrent that crashed forward like a lake, its momentum astonishing.
But before the Susanoo, it was utterly useless.
Even the scorching flames were only affected slightly.
Amid the massive cloud of mist created by the collision of fire and water, the furious crimson fist smashed through, crushing Danzo and the others, who had no time to dodge, into meat paste!
Boom—!
The ground shook violently.
"Danzo!!!" Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes nearly split apart. Filled with agony, he did not charge in blindly.
Instead, he gave the ninjas beside him an order.
"Capture him! Dead or alive!"
"Yes!"
The surrounding ninjas hurled kunai as all kinds of ninjutsu burst forth.
"Fire Style: Ash Pile Burning!"
"Earth Style: Earth Spear!"
"Wind Style: Wind Blade!"
Attacks of various Chakra natures struck the scorching Raging Red Skull Giant, causing the orange flame clinging to it to twist slightly, as though its energy was about to run out.
But Jinghuo Uchiha paid no attention to anyone else. He swept his gaze around, utterly furious.
"Danzo!"
"You used our Uchiha's Izanagi. Do you think I can't see through it?!"
"Come out!"
"Give my brother's eye back!!!"
