Enough! I'll bring Uchiha Madara over for a coup now!

"Holy shit!" the Jonin next to him were startled.

This Uchiha brat is too fierce!

The Jonin who had retreated a step couldn't help but quietly step back again, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Hiruzen Sarutobi wanted to stop him, but as soon as he reached out, he found that Jinghuo Uchiha wouldn't listen to him.

If he forcibly stopped him, it would seem like he was protecting Danzo Shimura.

For a moment, he was stuck, unable to advance or retreat.

"Jinghuo..." Shisui Uchiha was also helpless.

On the other side, the Root members hurriedly shouted, "Protect Lord Danzo!"

But their ninjutsu had no effect whatsoever against the Susanoo of the enraged crimson giant.

Even secret techniques like Shadow Imitation and Kikaichū had no effect on Jinghuo Uchiha.

In the face of absolute power, they were crushed like toys.

Danzo Shimura's expression was extremely grim. He used various wind jutsu, but they had no effect.

Jinghuo Uchiha was focused on beating him.

He only had a few Sharingan left. If this continued, not only would the Root base be gone, but the Root members would be gone, and even his Sharingan would be gone soon.

"Hiruzen! What are you still hesitating for!"

"The Uchiha are staging a coup!"

Before Hiruzen Sarutobi could speak, Jinghuo Uchiha roared, "Is this your reason for digging out my brother's eyes!"

"I didn't!" Danzo Shimura refused to admit it.

"Then how did Shisui Uchiha lose his right eye?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, leaving everyone speechless.

"Who knows if he gouged it out himself..." Danzo's words were cut short as Jinghuo Uchiha erupted in fury.

"Enough! Let's all die together!"

"I'm going to the Uchiha Clan Land right now! I'll bring people over for a coup!!"

"Even if I die, you won't live!!!"

Danzo Shimura sneered.

Did he really think the Uchiha would follow him to their deaths with such irrational behavior?

But Hiruzen Sarutobi was skilled at controlling people's hearts. Unlike Danzo's forceful brainwashing, he understood people's hearts and used gentle persuasion to guide them.

Therefore, he knew even better that once the people in the Uchiha clan found out, they would surely get hot-headed and charge forward with Jinghuo Uchiha.

Just as Jinghuo Uchiha said, even if they died, Danzo wouldn't live.

And at that time, would Konoha, which had just suffered heavy losses against the Uchiha Clan, let the Cloud and Stone Villages off the hook?

Even the weakest Sand Village and the farthest Mist Village would be tempted.

At that time, would Konoha still be able to resist the power of other villages?

Konoha would likely be completely annihilated!

For some reason, he suddenly saw the destruction of the Land of Whirlpools, overlapping with the current Konoha.

Past and future, Land of Whirlpools and Konohagakure.

The overlap between the two made his hair stand on end and cold sweat pour down his back.

"Shisui! Control him with Kotoamatsukami!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shouted urgently.

Shisui Uchiha was stunned and didn't act immediately.

After a two-second pause, Shisui Uchiha shook his head slightly, "Hokage-sama, I'm sorry, I have to protect him. I want to get back the eye that Danzo gouged out."

Others might not know, but he knew very well that Jinghuo Uchiha was at the end of his rope.

Although he didn't know what his trump card was, even if he canceled the Susanoo now, Jinghuo Uchiha's eyes would be ruined.

Therefore, he had to protect Seifu Uchiha, the younger brother entrusted to him by Seiya Uchiha!

Shisui Uchiha had to protect Jinghuo Uchiha!

He had to protect him!

"Shisui, you..." Hiruzen Sarutobi stared blankly at Shisui Uchiha, his eyes revealing great disappointment. Shisui Uchiha felt heartache and guilt, and averted his gaze, not daring to meet Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes.

Seeing that Shisui Uchiha was resolute, Hiruzen Sarutobi wearily closed his cloudy eyes, his wrinkles trembling slightly.

Finally, he sighed and made up his mind.

"Arrest Danzo!"

The surrounding Jonin exclaimed "Wow" in their hearts and immediately took action.

"Hiruzen! What are you doing! You'll regret this!" Danzo Shimura struggled constantly.

The Jonin, already unhappy that Shimura Danzo had requested people from their clan for Root, were even more displeased to discover Danzo's history of taking people's Sharingan.

Naturally, their attitude towards Shimura Danzo held no leniency.

Furthermore, compared to the ferocious Jinghuo Uchiha, Shimura Danzo was much easier to apprehend.

While Shimura Danzo was entangled with the Jonin, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Uchiha Shisui, "Shisui, bring him back. If he goes to the Uchiha Clan Land, the coup will truly begin."

"Yes!"

Uchiha Shisui immediately departed.

Seeing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed Uchiha Shisui had only lost his composure regarding Jinghuo Uchiha's matter; otherwise, he was still a good Uchiha.

However, Sarutobi Hiruzen soon saw Uchiha Shisui return.

He returned alone.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's heart skipped a beat, filled with unease.

Uchiha Shisui had been hesitant at first, but on his way back, he realized there was nothing he could do.

Reason? Shizuka wouldn't listen.

Force her to stop? Shizuka would fight to the death.

In such a situation, there was only one path forward.

"Hokage-sama, Shizuka said he can't see my right eye, and today will be the day the Uchiha are annihilated."

The Jonin: "..." This kid is truly ruthless!

Sarutobi Hiruzen also saw this path clearly—retrieving Uchiha Shisui's eye.

Only by doing so could Jinghuo Uchiha's rage be quelled.

"Hokage-sama." The Jonin brought Shimura Danzo over, escorting him.

"Danzo, you took Shisui's eye..."

A silver-haired Anbu interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's slow speech, reminding him, "Hokage-sama, that kid isn't slow."

Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled. If a coup truly happened, he'd rise from the dead to slap himself twice!

He hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Shisui, you search him."

"Yes!"

"Hiruzen! You will regret this! You will definitely regret this!" Shimura Danzo shouted through gritted teeth, struggling wildly. He even wanted to use his remaining two Three-Tomoe Sharingan to activate Izanagi, but with his hands restrained, he couldn't even form the hand seals.

He could only watch as Uchiha Shisui walked up to him.

Beside him, Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Shimura Danzo with a placid expression, his thoughts unreadable.

And Uchiha Shisui stood before Shimura Danzo.

Just a few hours ago, his eye had been taken, he was hunted by Root, and he was preparing to commit suicide.

Now, Shimura Danzo was brought before him, to be searched by him.

This dramatic reversal made him feel an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.

"Something's wrong! I'm not right!"

Uchiha Shisui immediately shook off the feeling of satisfaction and hurriedly began searching Danzo.

Soon, he found a nutrient tube in Shimura Danzo's embrace, inside which was a Sharingan.

It was his eye.

But after a pause, he continued searching Shimura Danzo.

The surrounding Jonin's eyes flickered, remembering Jinghuo Uchiha's words—"Danzo! Whose Sharingan did you use, and what was the price! It was my parents', wasn't it!"

Seeing that Uchiha Shisui hadn't stopped, Shimura Danzo became ferocious, as if a man-eating beast had finally shed its disguise, revealing its true, terrifying face.

"Uchiha Shisui!"

"What are you doing!"

"Stop!!!"

Uchiha Shisui did not stop.
