Trap.
It was a trap!
Shisui was the bait.
Uchiha Shingetsu wasn't in the clan compound at all!
The one who'd been training in Lightning Release was a fake!
Danzo stared daggers at Shingetsu.
"You schemed against me?"
Shingetsu chuckled.
"What else?"
"Did you really think you were worthy of scheming against the Uchiha?"
Tekka drew his sword, his eyes gleaming with excitement.
"Danzo!"
"Let's see you run away this time!"
Fugaku stared coldly at Danzo.

His gaze swept over those around him.

All the Uchiha elites were here.

They were trying to give Danzo a chance to escape.
The Three-Tomoe in Shingetsu's eyes spun wildly.
[Causality Perception] activated.
He immediately spotted Danzo's escape route.
To the rear left.
A weak point in the Barrier.
"He's making a run for it!"
Shingetsu raised his hand and threw three Shuriken.
Tekka understood at once.
"Stop him!"
Shisui was even faster.
Body Flicker Technique Burst.
He appeared directly in Danzo's escape route.
Danzo's expression darkened.
