Night of Root Annihilation Six

An unexpected turn of events occurred. Shimura Danzō Shisui in the abdomen, simultaneously unleashing a series of punches, his right hand swiftly gouging towards Shisui's eyes.

Danzo's corpse, which was underground, vanished into nothingness.

Uchiha Itachi, standing to the side, remained calm and, amidst the unexpected turn of events, reached out and grabbed Danzo's right hand.

Brush!

Shisui immediately jumped back. Having taken several heavy punches, Shisui's face was somewhat distorted, and he opened his mouth to gag.

Vomit!

Shisui squatted down, gagged for a while, and recovered after a short while.

Itachi reached out his right hand and grabbed Danzo's right hand. Danzo quickly reached out his left hand and tried to gouge out Itachi's eye, but Uchiha Itachi caught it again.

One was old, the other young; neither was in their prime. In the contest, the experienced Danzo had the upper hand.

Danzo expressionless, his right hand gripping Uchiha Itachi's right hand as well, while his left hand exerted force, slowly moving closer to Uchiha Itachi's eyes.

Itachi stood sideways to Danzo, both of them with their hands clasped together. Danzo's left eye was closed, while the Sharingan, its Three Tomoe spinning.

Uchiha Itachi's eyes also flashed red, and the Three Tomoe in his eyes spun.

In the Genjutsu clash, the young Itachi gained the upper hand and defeated Danzo. Chakra was transferred through their eye contact, and the Chakra transformed into wedges, immobilizing Danzo's limbs.

Danzo's eyes were glazed over, and his hands lost all strength. He released Uchiha Itachi, who then pulled a Kunai from his Uchiha Itachi tool pouch and stabbed it towards Danzo's throat.

Call out!

Just as the sword was about to pierce Danzo's throat, Danzo awoke with a start, dodged backward, and simultaneously formed hand seals.

Uchiha Itachi missed his first attack, but he didn't underestimate him and retreated as well. His Chakra was depleted and he was in poor condition. In this battle, he would have to rely on the fresh blood Shisui as the main force.

Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!

"Wind Style: Great Vacuum Bullet!"

After Itachi dodged and retreated, Shisui regained his Shisui state, formed hand seals, and breathed a Danzo of blazing fire at Danzo, who was retreating.

Danzo also mastered his Ninjutsu, Great Vacuum Bullet, like a cannonball of wind, crashed head-on into the fireball.

In the Shinobi World, fire attribute is superior to wind attribute. After the Ninjutsu clashed, they were Danzo a stalemate for about two seconds before the Great Fireball grew even larger and rushed towards Danzo.

Danzo retreated again, backing up to the small square at the Cross Bridge.

The fireball was so hot that it destroyed the cross bridge.

Squeak!

The cross bridge creaked and slid downwards, along with the corpses of more than ten Root members.

Shisui and Itachi leaped onto the wall, their feet absorbing Chakra, and gazed at Shimura Danzō ahead.

"Izanagi... I see."

Uchiha Shisui stared intently at Shimura Danzō, who was some distance away, especially at his pale right arm and the menacing Sharingan on it.

What lies beneath the cross bridge is unknown; it is pitch black and instills a sense of dread.

Shimura Danzō expressionless. He drew Kunai with his right hand and Kunai it with his left, creating a sharp wind sword. Holding the weapon, Shimura Danzō did not attack. He gave the two of them a deep look, then turned and jumped backward, running towards a cave in the wall.

"Trying to escape? You must tell us the truth about how you obtained your Sharingan!"

Uchiha Shisui's eyes blazed with fury; the multiple Sharingan on this arm brought Shisui to his senses.

The last shred of respect he had for Danzo vanished completely at this moment, and he sprang up against the wall, chasing after Danzo.

Orochimaru, seeing Danzo approaching him and Uchiha Shisui behind him, immediately slipped away and retreated into Danzo's office inside the cave.

Orochimaru knew that there was another exit inside the cave Danzo's office.

"I must have those Sharingan..."

Having witnessed the power of Uchiha Shisui's Sharingan, Orochimaru's desire for Shisui's Sharingan now surpassed his Rinnegan for Akatsuki's Pain.

Orochimaru retreated into the cave where Danzo, leaping across the walls several times while forming hand seals.

"Earth Style: Earth Style: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique!"

Orochimaru's figure slowly sank into the wall, where he lay in wait.

Earth Style: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique is a more advanced Earth Style stealth Ninjutsu than Subterranean Voyage Technique. If it were a stealth technique like Rock Concealment Technique, it wouldn't escape the Sharingan's detection, something Orochimaru knew. Only by infiltrating underground could one avoid being discovered.

"It seems Danzo is doomed, but this trip wasn't a complete waste..."

Orochimaru, a veteran of countless battles and a master of thousands of Ninjutsu, concealed his aura, preparing to observe the battle and reap the benefits.

"No, Danzo has the terrain advantage. I need to make this battle more intense..."

Orochimaru, sensing something was wrong, stealthily made his way to the exit of Danzo's office, revealing himself upon arrival. This exit was an invisible barrier; it appeared to be a dead end, but in reality, one could simply crash into the wall to exit.

Ninja Art: Four Black Mist Formation!

Orochimaru formed hand seals, let out a soft shout, Chakra surged from his palms, transforming into black mist that wrapped around the invisible barrier that appeared to be a wall. The black mist dyed the wall black, and then the wall returned to its original color.

Orochimaru glanced at it, licked his lips in satisfaction, formed hand seals again, activated the Earth Style: Earth Dragon Concealment Technique, and went into hiding.

Danzo extremely fast, running this way, not hoping for support from the cunning and unreliable Orochimaru, but rather preparing to escape through a hidden exit.

Even though all the members of the Root organization were wiped out and his power was greatly diminished, he still had many strongholds. By gathering the people in those strongholds, he could still be a powerful figure.

Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Shisui's assassination attempt must have been Danzo Sharingan, he knew that if he stayed any longer, he would be surrounded and wiped out by the Hokage and the Anbu.

If the Hokage and the Anbu arrived, he would truly be trapped with nowhere to run. But now that there are only two of them, he can still use the terrain to escape.

Danzo ran ahead, with Uchiha Shisui chasing behind. Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Ruofeng, who were rushing over, were hanging behind Uchiha Shisui.

Danzo rushed into his office cave, which had nine holes in the walls, seven of which were traps, one was the current entrance, and the other was the exit.

Danzo leaped a few times and arrived at the exit cave. He glanced back and saw that Shisui and the others had not yet caught up.

"I will avenge today's humiliation one day!"

A ruthless glint flashed in Danzo's eyes. He ran quickly towards the exit cave, and upon seeing the wall of the exit, he rammed into it without stopping.

Thump!

Danzo his head into it, only to find that the exit had turned into a real wall, Danzo dizzy and disoriented.

"What's going on!?"

Danzo both shocked and furious. In this emergency, Danzo's mind raced. He thought of Orochimaru, who had disappeared from the base, and the black mist that had entered his body from the wall after he had just collided with it. Danzo understood something.

Orochimaru!

Danzo roared in anger, "There's no way we can break the barrier Orochimaru set up in such a short time!"

The stronghold contains numerous caves and exits, with the first exit and this one being the Danzo used most frequently.

"The only option now is to go to the third exit!"

Danzo immediately retraced his steps, and as he jumped down from the cave, he ran into Uchiha Shisui, who was entering his office.
