"Damn!" The Jonin beside them were all startled.
This Uchiha little brat was way too fierce!
The Jonin, who had already taken a step back, could not help but quietly take another step back, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire.
Sarutobi Hiruzen wanted to stop him, but just as he raised his hand, he realized that Jinghuo Uchiha would not listen to him anyway.
If he forcibly intervened, it would seem as though he were protecting Shimura Danzō.
For a moment, he was stuck in an impossible position.
"Jinghuo..." Uchiha Shisui was helpless as well.
On the other side, the Root Members hurriedly shouted, "Protect Lord Danzo!"
But their ninjutsu had no effect whatsoever against the Raging Red Skull Giant's Susanoo.
Even secret techniques such as the Shadow Imitation Technique and poisonous Kikaichū had no effect on Jinghuo Uchiha.
Before absolute force, they were crushed like toys.
Shimura Danzō's expression turned extremely ugly. He unleashed all kinds of Wind Release techniques, but none of them did anything.
Jinghuo Uchiha had his eyes fixed solely on him.
Danzo only had a few Sharingan left on him. If this continued, not only would the Root Base be destroyed, but the Root Members would be wiped out too. Even the Sharingan would soon be gone.
"Hiruzen! What are you still hesitating for?!"
"The Uchiha are staging a coup!"
Before Sarutobi Hiruzen could speak, Jinghuo Uchiha roared, "Is this your reason for gouging out my ge's eye?!"
"I didn't!" Shimura Danzō stubbornly denied it.
"Then how did Uchiha Shisui lose his right eye?" Sarutobi Hiruzen asked the question everyone was speechless over.
"Who knows whether he dug it out himse—" Danzo did not get to finish before Jinghuo Uchiha erupted in rage.
"Enough! Nobody gets to live!"
"I'm going to the Uchiha Clan Land right now! I'll bring people here to stage a coup!!"
"Even if I die, don't think you'll get to live either!!!"
Shimura Danzō sneered.
Did he think the Uchiha would follow him to their deaths over such an irrational act?
But Sarutobi Hiruzen was skilled at controlling hearts. Unlike Danzo's methods of forceful brainwashing, his was a gentler kind that understood people's hearts and went with the flow.
Thus, he understood even better that once the Uchiha learned of this, their blood would boil, and they would charge over with Jinghuo Uchiha in a furious wave.
Just as Jinghuo Uchiha had said, even if they died, Danzo would not be allowed to live.
And then, would Kumogakure and Iwagakure let off a Konoha that had just suffered mutual destruction with the Uchiha Clan?
Even the weakest Sunagakure and the farthest Kirigakure would be tempted, wouldn't they?
When that time came, would Konoha still have the strength to resist the Other Villages?
Konoha would probably be completely destroyed.
For some reason, he suddenly saw the scene of the Land of Whirlpools' destruction overlapping with Konoha as it was now.
Past and future, the Land of Whirlpools and Konoha.
The overlap of the two made the hairs all over his body stand on end, cold sweat pouring down his back.
"Shisui! Use Kotoamatsukami to control him!" Sarutobi Hiruzen shouted urgently.
Uchiha Shisui froze and did not act at once.
After two tense seconds, Uchiha Shisui shook his head slightly. "Lord Hokage, I'm sorry. I have to protect him. I want to get back the eye Danzo gouged out."
Others did not know, but he knew very well that Jinghuo Uchiha was already at the end of his strength.
Though he did not know what Jinghuo Uchiha's trump card was, even if he dismissed the Susanoo now, Jinghuo Uchiha's eyes would be ruined.
So, he had to protect the Younger Brother entrusted to him by Seifu Uchiha and Seiya Uchiha! Uchiha Shisui had to protect Jinghuo Uchiha! He had to protect him!
"Shisui, you..." Sarutobi Hiruzen stared blankly at Uchiha Shisui. The immense disappointment in his eyes made Uchiha Shisui feel pain and guilt, and he looked away, not daring to meet Sarutobi Hiruzen's gaze.
Seeing that Uchiha Shisui would not change his mind, Sarutobi Hiruzen wearily closed his cloudy eyes, the wrinkles on his face trembling slightly.
In the end, he let out a sigh and made up his mind.
"Seize Danzo!"
The surrounding Jonin all went wow in their hearts and immediately sprang into action.
"Hiruzen! What are you trying to do?! You'll regret this!" Shimura Danzō struggled without stop.
But these Jonin had already been somewhat displeased with Shimura Danzō for demanding people from their clans to join Root.
And now, they had discovered that Shimura Danzō had a history of gouging out other people's Sharingan.
Naturally, they showed him no mercy at all.
Besides, compared to the ferocious Jinghuo Uchiha, Shimura Danzō was much easier to capture.
As Shimura Danzō fought with the Jonin, Sarutobi Hiruzen said to Uchiha Shisui, "Shisui, bring him back. If you let him go to the Uchiha Clan Land, the coup will truly begin."
"Yes!"
Uchiha Shisui immediately left.
Sarutobi Hiruzen sighed in relief at the sight.
It seemed Uchiha Shisui had only lost his composure over Jinghuo Uchiha. In every other respect, 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 the way back, he realized there was nothing he could do.
Persuade him? Jinghuo would not listen.
Forcefully stop him? Jinghuo would fight desperately.
Under these circumstances, there was only one path.
"Lord Hokage, Jinghuo said that if he does not see my right eye, today will be the day the Uchiha Clan is destroyed."
The Jonin were speechless. This little brat was damn ruthless!
Sarutobi Hiruzen thoroughly saw the path before him—return Uchiha Shisui's eye.
Only then could Jinghuo Uchiha's Rage Flame be quelled.
"Lord Hokage." The Jonin escorted Shimura Danzō over.
"Danzo, Shisui's eye..."
A silver-haired Anbu interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen's slow handling of the matter and reminded him, "Lord Hokage, that little brat isn't slow."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was startled. If a coup really happened, even after he died, he would have to get back up and slap himself twice!
He hurriedly stepped aside and said, "Shisui, search him."
"Yes!"
"Hiruzen! You'll regret this! You'll definitely regret this!" Shimura Danzō shouted through gritted teeth, struggling wildly. He even tried to activate Izanagi with the last two Three-Tomoe Sharingan, but with both hands restrained, he could not even form hand seals.
He could only watch helplessly as Uchiha Shisui walked up to him.
Sarutobi Hiruzen watched Shimura Danzō calmly from the side, his expression unreadable.
Uchiha Shisui stood before Shimura Danzō.
A few hours ago, his eye had been taken, and he had been hunted by Root, preparing to kill himself.
Now, Shimura Danzō had been brought before him and was about to be searched by him.
The complete reversal made him feel an extraordinary sense of satisfaction.
"Something's wrong! There's something wrong with me!"
Uchiha Shisui immediately cast aside that satisfaction and hurriedly began searching Danzo.
Soon, he found a Nutrient Tube inside Shimura Danzō's robes. A Sharingan was soaking inside it.
It was his eye.
But after pausing for a second, he continued searching Shimura Danzō.
The surrounding Jonin's eyes flickered as they recalled Jinghuo Uchiha's words—"Danzo! Whose Sharingan did you use to pay the price? My parents', right?!"
When Shimura Danzō saw that Uchiha Shisui had not stopped, he immediately turned vicious, like a man-eating beast finally shedding its disguise and revealing its true face, filled with savagery and terror.
"Uchiha Shisui!"
"What are you doing?!"
"Stop!!!"
Uchiha Shisui did not stop.
