"Let go of me!!!" Shimura Danzō struggled madly like a crazed beast, his eyes bloodshot.
But the surrounding Jonin did not let go. Instead, they tightened their grip and firmly restrained Shimura Danzō.
Unable even to form hand seals or use Izanagi, Shimura Danzō deeply regretted getting caught.
Uchiha Shisui knew the surrounding Jonin would not listen to him, so he could only roar furiously at Sarutobi Hiruzen, who stood nearby. "Hiruzen! You'll regret this! Make him stop! Stop him!!!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen took out his pipe. With a complicated expression, he drew in a breath and exhaled white smoke. He seemed sorrowful; he neither agreed nor stopped it, offering the same tacit consent he always had.
Soon, the bandages around Shimura Danzō's right eye and right arm were removed, revealing six Sharingan. They looked deeply Cthulhu-like, filled with strange and mysterious eeriness.
Four of them had already closed.
One had been used to ambush Uchiha Shisui, while the other three had been destroyed by Jinghuo Uchiha.
The moment Uchiha Shisui saw those eyes, his gaze locked onto the two pairs of Sharingan on Danzo's forearm.
In an instant, he seemed to see Jinghuo Uchiha's parents.
His eyes immediately reddened.
These were their eyes!
These were definitely their eyes!
"Uncle Qingfeng, Aunt Jingya..."
Uchiha Shisui could not stop the tears from flowing.
He reached out toward the eyes on Shimura Danzō's forearm.
That action startled the Jonin.
"Shisui..." They wanted to stop him, but could not bring themselves to say the words.
Worried the eyes would be damaged? Their owners were probably long dead.
Worried Danzo would be harmed? They had not the slightest pity for someone who dug up others' Ancestral Graves.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen merely stood there in silence, watching Uchiha Shisui dig out the Sharingan one by one. He even took the ones that had turned gray and lost their luster.
Everyone let Danzo scream and curse, turning a deaf ear.
After digging out the eyes, the grief in Uchiha Shisui's heart was like rootless duckweed tossed amid raging waves, filled with loneliness.
He had recovered Uncle Qingfeng and Aunt Jingya's eyes, but they themselves would never return.
The despairing pain in his heart was vague and drifting, leaving his mind completely blank. There was no one else in it.
He did not even know what he was thinking.
He was completely muddled.
Like a walking corpse, he moved forward, drawing closer to something.
Until... a little boy with a crew cut smiled faintly at him.
"Brother?"
That familiar voice jolted Uchiha Shisui awake.
"Jinghuo!"
He immediately opened his eyes. He was in a forest.
He did not know how he had gotten here, but he clearly saw the murky eyes of Jinghuo Uchiha before him.
He... he had gone blind...
"Jinghuo... you... I... I..." Uchiha Shisui's hands trembled as tears streamed down his face, filled with heartache and regret.
If he had not carelessly let Shimura Danzō dig out his eye, how could Jinghuo's eyes have gone blind?!
He had already gotten Uncle Qingfeng and Aunt Jingya killed, and now even Jinghuo's eyes...
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." Uchiha Shisui tightly clutched the clothes on Jinghuo Uchiha's arms and wailed like a child.
Jinghuo Uchiha smiled faintly.
"Brother, it's just a Sharingan. Even without eyes, I'll still be strong."
Uchiha Shisui only thought Jinghuo Uchiha was trying to comfort him.
But Jinghuo Uchiha was telling the truth.
Although he had sacrificed Fire Style Chakra Mode to strengthen Susanoo, having experienced Fire Style Chakra Mode before, teaching himself Fire Style Chakra Mode again would not be difficult.
As for seeing things, he could simply spread out his Chakra to sense his surroundings. Although the world had turned gray and white, eyes were not essential.
Although he had failed to kill Danzo this time, destroying Root and recovering Uchiha Shisui's eye still made Jinghuo Uchiha feel somewhat less burdened.
He turned back toward the Village Center, revealing a weary smile and a trace of fierce malice.
"Next time, I'll definitely kill Danzo!" Jinghuo Uchiha set a goal for himself.
Then, his mind finally relaxed.
After enduring pain as if every cell in his body had been torn apart and completely exhausting his eye power, Jinghuo Uchiha finally could not hold on any longer and collapsed.
His entire body was filled with weakness and desolation.
"Jinghuo!" Uchiha Shisui panicked.
Fortunately, after checking him over, he found that Jinghuo Uchiha had merely passed out from exhaustion.
"Jinghuo..." Uchiha Shisui was deeply saddened, yet he could not cry.
He felt suffocated, miserable, as if he were about to stop breathing.
Then Jinghuo Uchiha's joking words suddenly surfaced in his mind—"Brother, don't you want to become the Clan Head?"
He held Jinghuo Uchiha tightly. The Sharingan in his left eye became even more complex and obscure as his thoughts changed.
The moment chaos erupted in the Village Center, many ninja in the village rushed over.
Even the Uchiha Clan Members who had been holding a gathering wanted to head over.
That enormous raging red skeleton was vastly different from the Susanoo of legend.
It looked like a cheap counterfeit of a counterfeit.
But without a doubt, that was Susanoo!
The Uchiha Clan's Susanoo!
This excited the Uchiha Clan Members immensely, and they rushed out one after another.
The instant Fugaku Uchiha, the Clan Head of the Uchiha Clan, saw that enormous raging red skeleton, his pupils sharply contracted.
Possessing a Mangekyo, he naturally knew the price required to wield such a powerful Susanoo.
This was a good opportunity for a coup.
Though it differed from what he had expected, since it had already happened, he should take advantage of the situation!
The clan members cheered excitedly.
Wasn't that Raging Red Skull Giant causing havoc in the Village Center calling out to them? "Come quickly! Let's take Konoha back together!"
This was a good opportunity for a coup!
But just as they noisily prepared to rush over, Uchiha Itachi and Anbu members blocked their path.
The Uchiha Clan Members all thought the presence of Anbu members was normal.
But!
"Itachi! What are you doing?!" Fugaku Uchiha, known as Fierce Eyes, roared in fury, and the ferocity in his eyes erupted at once.
Uchiha Itachi felt his pressure increase greatly.
Without opening his Mangekyo, he now felt uncomfortable from merely being looked at by Fugaku Uchiha.
But he still held fast to the thoughts in his heart.
"Father, the one in the Village Center is Jinghuo Uchiha..."
Before he could finish, the uproar of the clan members and Fugaku Uchiha's furious shout forcibly cut him off.
"You're saying that Susanoo was created by Jinghuo Uchiha?"
"How is that possible!"
"He's only five years old!"
The clan members stared intently at Uchiha Itachi with doubtful gazes.
They had already suspected Uchiha Itachi before. Now he was saying that the legendary Susanoo of the Uchiha Clan had been created by a five-year-old child?
Even lies needed to be believable!
Who would believe something so obviously fake?
His father's distrust and the clan members' doubts hurt Uchiha Itachi, but compared to the first time he had heard Uchiha Shisui say the Police Force had sent him to monitor him, it was already much better.
After taking a deep breath, Uchiha Itachi continued, "Shisui has already gone over. His purpose is not a coup, but to save Jinghuo Uchiha at any cost."
At once, the restless crowd fell silent.
