Kotoamatsukami Blooms

With a loud shout from the Root ninja, a ripple appeared in the air above Shisui as he leaped, and a green lid, about fifty meters long and wide, appeared out of thin air and fell down towards Shisui.

Bang! Bang!

Many of the Shuriken Shisui had a spherical object attached to Shuriken backs, and they began to explode, releasing thick purple smoke.

Although Shisui dodged the Kunai and Shuriken, he failed to cover his mouth and nose in time and accidentally inhaled the gas produced by the poison gas bomb behind Shisui Kunai.

At that moment, the forest below Shisui writhed, waiting for Shisui to walk into its trap. Above, a huge green canopy descended from the sky, determined to smash Shisui into mincemeat. A purple poisonous mist also permeated the area between the two.

Before Shisui, he accidentally inhaled the toxic fumes and soon felt dizzy.

"That's the only way!"

Originally, Shisui was trying to escape by summoning crows while fleeing in Shisui -air, but at this moment he could only use the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In previous battles, there had never been an elite ninja force like Root, so Shisui had never used the Dōjutsu in his eyes.

Boom!

The Heavenfall Lid looked quite heavy. Falling from high in the sky, Heavenfall Lid smooth bottom compressed the air in the middle, causing the air and toxic fog to spread to both sides.

The Heavenfall Lid fell from the sky and stopped at the top of the forest tree, as if it were stopped by the green trees.

As the thick smoke and poisonous fog dissipated from the forest, many Root members were able to see what was happening inside.

A green giant of light, over ten meters tall, raised its hands to support the falling Heavenfall Lid.

"What is that?"

Danzo, emerging from the Root's base passage, saw Uchiha Shisui's Susanoo and his eyes lit up with delight.

As he predicted, Uchiha Shisui did indeed awaken the Mangekyō Sharingan, but it was unknown what kind of Dōjutsu resided within those eyes.

Danzo glanced at the Root members' formation. The Root members were incredibly capable, with only the Wood Release ninja, Red-haired Red Ogre, leading three subordinates to engage Shisui in direct combat at the front.

The other members scattered and surrounded Shisui from all sides, preparing to use barrier Ninjutsu to block Shisui escape route.

Danzo was greatly relieved to see that the Root members had not regressed in their Ninjutsu despite their brief period of dormancy. Looking in Shisui's direction, a greedy glint flashed in Danzo's eyes as he quietly crept into the forest.

Uchiha Shisui gasped for breath. The poisonous mist he had inhaled earlier was a sedative, its effect being to cause unconsciousness. Shisui looked tired, indicating that he had already realized something was wrong.

However, what made Shisui feel even worse was the purple barrier that began to rise from all directions.

"Four Violet Flames Formation!" x4

The numerous Root members who surrounded Shisui coordinated perfectly, activating a barrier Ninjutsu to trap Uchiha Shisui within it.

Uchiha Shisui manipulated Susanoo, his Chakra surging, and the green giant of light tilted the Heavenfall Lid, grabbed one end of Heavenfall Lid, and threw it into a corner of the Four Violet Flames Formation.

Susanoo: Ninety-Nine!

At the same time, the red Tomoe in the chest cavity of the green giant of light controlled by Uchiha Shisui emitted a burst of light, and countless green arrows shot out from the chest cavity of the sequel's Nobunaga, heading towards the four Anbu Ninja not far away.

"Ugh!"

The green arrows, though fired later, struck first, riddling the four Root members like a beehive, leaving only screams of agony.

Boom!

The green Heavenfall Lid also crashed into the corner of the Four Violet Flames Formation at this moment, immediately causing the purple light of the Four Violet Flames Formation to tremble and fluctuate.

Shisui manipulated Susanoo, adjusting his body. As Shisui adjusted, the green arrows that Susanoo fired changed direction, striking the fluctuating purple barrier and shattering one side of the Four Violet Flames Formation.

Uchiha Shisui immediately released Susanoo and Hand Seals.

A gentle breeze blew by, Uchiha Shisui's figure had already left the barrier and appeared outside it.

Uchiha Shisui was famous for his Body Flicker Technique, not only because of the power of his Shadow Clone Technique, but also because his Body Flicker Technique was incredibly fast.

Most ninjas know the Body Flicker Technique, but very few are as famous for it as Namikaze Minato and Uchiha Shisui.

Outside the barrier, Uchiha Shisui's face showed even greater fatigue. He Hand Seals again, wanting to use the Body Flicker Technique to escape, but his head spun as the poison took effect.

At that moment, a figure moved with incredible speed, wielding a cane, and thrust it straight into Shisui's chest.

Uchiha Shisui covered his chest with both hands, but was struck in the arm by the cane, staggering back several steps. As he retreated, Shisui finally saw who had attacked him.

Danzo!?

Shisui looked at Danzo, his face filled with complex emotions.

Danzo stick, calmly gazed at Uchiha Shisui before him and said softly:

"Shisui, it was not the Root ninja who betrayed you. I already know your secret."

It was just speculation. Although Danzo suspected Shisui of having ulterior motives, he had no evidence and could only pretend to be confident and knowledgeable.

"So you knew all along, Danzo!"

Uchiha Shisui was immediately tricked into revealing that he had indeed returned to Konoha to report to the Fourth Hokage, but he didn't know when he had given himself away and Danzo had discovered it.

"The Root is the root and stem of the great tree of Konoha, closely connected to Konoha. Its intelligence is all-pervasive, and its methods are beyond your imagination."

Shisui, you knew the Fourth Hokage would lead Konoha into the abyss, yet you still remained loyal to him, simply because he was the head of the Uchiha clan? Why didn't you join me in restoring order?

Danzo looked at the Uchiha he had previously admired so much, and disappointment flashed in his eyes.

"Danzo! How could a Konoha ninja plot against the Hokage of Konoha! Your radical actions will only lead Konoha into the abyss! This is not restoring order, this is a coup d'état!"

Although Uchiha Shisui was not Danzo cunning as Danzo, he was not without his own thoughts and could still distinguish right from wrong.

As Konoha Ninja, to dare to plot against the Hokage is utterly appalling.

"So that's what you think? I never imagined that despite my many attempts to teach you, your mind would remain so narrow."

I thought you would become a pillar of Konoha, a hidden hero of Konoha.

I never imagined you were just a shallow person obsessed with so-called family glory.

Konoha doesn't need overly powerful ninja clans, especially not a dangerous and powerful one like the Uchiha!

"Shisui, since you are unwilling to serve Konoha, then please leave your Sharingan behind!"

Danzo aside his cane, and at that moment, Danzo's figure was agile, his back was not sore, his legs were not lame, and his hands Hand Seals at an extremely fast speed.

"Wind Style: Vacuum Bullet!"

Danzo puffed out his lips as if blowing air, and countless compressed wind bullets were spewed at Uchiha Shisui like machine gun fire.

Shisui's head was spinning. In this dangerous situation, his adrenaline surged. He mustered his strength, leaped into the air, and dodged and weaved to avoid the wind bullets.

In mid-air, Uchiha Shisui's eyes glowed with an increasingly eerie red light, transforming into a four-cornered windmill shape as he stared intently at Danzo.

"Danzo! I don't know what caused you to change!"

But I will help you let go of these unrealistic fantasies!

Shisui shouted loudly, while the pupils of his eyes flickered.

"Let me show you the first time this Dōjutsu has been revealed to the world! Danzo! Please cherish your comrades! Protect Konoha!"
