Nine-Year-Old Three-Tomoe

Boom!

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire crowd erupted.

"A curse seal under the tongue?"

"Root treats its own people like this?"

"To prevent leaks?"

"Isn't that just a Death Warrior?"

"How can such an organization exist within Konoha?"

The Third Hokage's expression changed completely.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also turned pale.

This matter could not be discussed in public.

Yet, Shin-getsu had chosen to say it in front of everyone.

And he had done so by framing it as "I heard."

If you deny it?

Then we check.

If you admit it?

Then the darkness of Root is exposed directly.

Shin-getsu crouched down and grabbed the Contact Person by the chin.

"Open your mouth."

The Contact Person struggled frantically.

But with Tekka pinning him down with a foot, he couldn't move at all.

Shin-getsu said coldly:

"If you won't open it, I'll help you."

He exerted force with his fingers.

Crack.

The jaw dislocated.

The Contact Person's mouth was pried open by force.

The next instant, everyone saw it.

Beneath the base of his tongue, a pitch-black curse seal flickered in and out of view.

The entire scene fell into a deathly silence.

Irrefutable proof.

True, irrefutable proof.

Shin-getsu looked up at the Third Hokage.

"Lord Hokage."

"Now, are you still going to say he is just an ordinary civil servant?"

The Third Hokage remained silent.

He couldn't say a single word.

Because at this moment, any further explanation would seem pale and hollow.

Shin-getsu stood up, his voice not loud, yet it carried across the entire crowd.

"A man branded with a Root Curse Seal."

"Carrying a Hokage Document Seal."

"Contacting members of the Uchiha Clan in the dead of night."

"Inciting division within the Uchiha."

"Attempting to commit suicide to silence himself after being caught."

"Lord Hokage."

"Shouldn't Danzo be the one to come out and explain this?"

Boom!

Everyone's gaze turned simultaneously toward the shadows of the Hokage Building.

Danzo.

This name had finally been brought completely out into the open.

The Third Hokage closed his eyes.

He knew he couldn't avoid it any longer.

"Summon Danzō."

However, before the Anbu could act.

The sound of a cane tapping the ground echoed from the side entrance of the Hokage Building.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

Shimura Danzō slowly emerged.

Half his face was wrapped in bandages, his single eye cold and sinister.

He looked at Shingetsu, his gaze like a viper's.

"Uchiha brat."

"Have you caused enough trouble?"

Shingetsu smiled.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

"Danzō."

"You finally dare to show yourself."

Danzō's expression darkened.

"Insolent."

"I am a Konoha advisor."

Shingetsu stepped forward, his Two-Tomoe Sharingan slowly spinning.

"Then may I ask, honored Konoha advisor,"

"Are these Root members your subordinates?"

Danzō said coldly:

"Root was disbanded long ago."

Shingetsu burst into laughter.

"Root was disbanded long ago?"

He stomped on a scroll next to the contact person.

"Then is the Root mark on this person fake?"

"Is the curse seal on his tongue fake?"

"Is the subordinate seal order he carries fake?"

"Or are the Root bases beneath the Hokage Building also fake?"

Danzō's pupils contracted sharply.

Shingetsu continued to twist the knife:

"Do you need me to bring the Uchiha Police Force to take a look underground right now?"

"To see if Root has truly disbanded?"

Everyone present was shocked.

Underground bases?

Root still existed?

The Third Hokage's expression turned extremely grim.

Danzō's killing intent surged.

He suddenly realized he couldn't let Shingetsu continue speaking.

This brat knew too much.

Too much to be normal.

"Uchiha Shingetsu."

Danzō's voice was icy.

"You are deliberately slandering Konoha's high command and provoking conflict between the Uchiha and the village."

"I suspect you have been controlled by an enemy village."

"Anbu, apprehend him!"

As the words fell, the entire scene trembled.

Several ninjas dressed as Root members instantly appeared from the shadows, lunging straight for Shingetsu.

The Third Hokage's expression shifted drastically.

"Stop!"

But it was already too late.

The Root ninja moved with blinding speed.

Their killing intent was aimed directly at Shin-getsu.

This was no mere capture.

This was an execution!

A cold glint flashed in Shin-getsu's eyes.

[Causality Perception] activated.

Three death lines simultaneously locked onto his throat, heart, and the nape of his neck.

He did not retreat.

Instead, he sneered.

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

In the next instant, he formed hand seals.

Lightning Chakra surged into his palms.

This was a technique he had just learned.

He wasn't proficient yet.

But it was enough!

"Lightning Style: Earth Flash!"

Crackle!

Blue-white lightning erupted, skittering across the ground.

The lead Root ninja's feet went numb, and his movements stalled for a split second.

That was the moment.

A figure flashed across the rooftop.

Shisui had made his move!

Body Flicker Technique burst.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The three Root ninjas were sent flying almost simultaneously, slamming hard into the ground.

Tekka roared:

"You dare attempt murder right in front of the Uchiha?"

"Take them down!"

The Uchiha Police Force surged forward in an instant.

The Anbu moved as well.

The scene spiraled out of control.

Danzo's face changed color.

He had not expected Shin-getsu to dare force his hand on the spot.

Even less did he expect that Shisui and the Uchiha had been prepared all along.

Shin-getsu stood amidst the lingering sparks of lightning, his face slightly pale.

But the corners of his mouth curled upward.

The System Prompt rang out frantically.

[Host has publicly exposed the Root Curse Seal.]

[The lie that Root has been "disbanded" has been torn open.]

[Danzo forced to reveal himself.]

[Danzo's attempt at a forced execution has failed.]

[Obtained Causality Points: 5000.]

[Current Causality Points: 12700.]

[Night of the Clan Massacre Deviation increased.]

[Current Deviation: 12%.]

[Detected that Causality Points meet the requirements for Three-Tomoe Evolution.]

[Consume 12000 Causality Points to evolve to Three-Tomoe Sharingan?]

A sharp glint flashed in Shin-getsu's eyes.

It was here.

This was the moment he had been waiting for.

"Evolve."

Boom!

A scorching power surged straight into his eyes.

The two tomoe in Shin-getsu's pupils spun madly.

Then, a third tomoe slowly appeared.

Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

Awaken!

Amidst the chaos, Shin-getsu raised his head.

Three black tomoe slowly rotated within his Scarlet Pupils.

A chilling pressure instantly spread.

Tekka, standing beside him, widened his eyes in shock.

"Three-Tomoe?!"

"Shin-getsu has awakened Three-Tomoe!"

This shout was like a thunderclap.

All the Uchiha simultaneously turned to look at Shin-getsu.

Nine Years Old.

Three-Tomoe.

Awakening his eyes in public, in front of the Hokage Building.

What did this signify?

The Uchiha erupted.

Tekka trembled with excitement.

"Hahahaha!"

"Good!"

"Excellent!"

"This is the genius of my Uchiha!"

Fugaku also showed a look of shock.

Shisui's gaze was complex.

Itachi stared intently at Shin-getsu's eyes, a storm raging in his heart.

Danzo, seeing the Three-Tomoe eyes, finally revealed undisguised killing intent and greed in his single eye.

Shin-getsu slowly looked at Danzo.

His Three-Tomoe locked onto Danzo's single eye.

"Danzo."

"You cannot kill me tonight."

"But starting tonight."

"Your Root will no longer be hidden."
