Konoha Village.
Senju Clan Compound.
"Danzo."
"Inside your body."
"Why is there the aura of Wood Style?"
Chiba stopped ten steps away from Danzo.
His voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone present.
Boom!
The words were like a bolt from the blue, crashing down in the middle of the crowd.
The entire scene erupted in an uproar!
Everyone's expressions changed completely at that moment.
Hyuga Hiashi abruptly turned his head and stared at Danzo in disbelief.
Fugaku Uchiha's pupils trembled as his hands clenched tightly.
Shikaku Nara even stopped breathing.
The aura of Wood Style?
That was the Senju Clan's exclusive Kekkei Genkai!
Shimura Danzō.
An outsider without even a trace of Senju Bloodline.
How could there possibly be the aura of Wood Style inside his body?
The heads of the Major Clans were no fools.
Almost instantly.
A chilling possibility took shape in their minds.
Human experimentation!
Stealing bloodlines!
Such an act, one that violated the Ninja World's greatest taboo, had actually been committed by someone in the high command!
What every shinobi clan valued most was its own Kekkei Genkai and secret techniques.
If the high command dared to secretly steal even the First's bloodline.
Then weren't their clans already fish on the chopping block?
In an instant.
Dozens of hostile, wary gazes stabbed toward Danzo like sharp swords.
Danzo's expression instantly froze.
Cold sweat poured down his forehead like a waterfall.
How was that possible?
How could Chiba have detected the secret of his right arm?
He had clearly placed more than a dozen high-level Sealing Jutsu on it!
Even the Hyuga Clan's Byakugan could not see through it!
How did this brat know?
"Utter nonsense!"
"I have no idea what you're talking about!"
"You're slandering a Konoha elder!"
Danzo roared hysterically.
His voice was as shrill as a rooster being strangled.
He could not admit it, even if it killed him!
Once he admitted to stealing Wood Style.
Not only would the position of Hokage forever be beyond his reach.
Every shinobi clan in Konoha would regard him as a public enemy!
When that happened, even Sarutobi Hiruzen would not be able to protect him!
"Chiba!"
"You can't make such claims recklessly!"
"Danzo's right arm was injured during the Second Shinobi World War."
"To suppress the injury, it had to be wrapped in bandages."
"What Wood Style aura are you talking about?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen panicked and strode forward, placing himself in front of Danzo.
But he was deeply flustered as well.
Others might not know, but how could he not?
He had turned a blind eye to Orochimaru's experiments.
He had also noticed, more or less, the secret of Danzo's right arm.
But this could never be exposed in broad daylight!
Once it was revealed, the Konoha High Command's credibility would collapse completely!
Chiba quietly watched Sarutobi Hiruzen standing before him.
That hypocritical old face made him feel utterly sickened.
Reason?
Senju Qianye had not returned to Konoha to reason with this bunch of scum.
He would use the most violent means possible to tear apart this hypocritical facade!
Under everyone's gaze.
Chiba's figure vanished from where he stood.
Peak Kage Level physical strength, combined with Late Super Kage Chakra output.
The two stacked together, pushing Chiba's movement speed beyond the limits of human vision.
"Protect Lord Danzo!"
Those Root shinobi only had time to cry out.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Several black figures flew backward like torn sacks and smashed straight through the distant wall.
"What?"
Sarutobi Hiruzen only saw a blur before his eyes.
A violent gust of wind lashed his cheeks painfully.
Before he could react.
Chiba had already passed him and appeared directly before Danzo.
Less than half a meter separated them.
Danzo's lone eye widened.
Extreme terror instantly froze his blood.
He could not move.
He could not move at all!
The killing intent emanating from Chiba suppressed him as firmly as an iceberg.
"The way you lie is truly ugly."
Chiba's icy voice drifted into Danzo's ear.
The next second.
Chiba's right hand shot out like lightning.
His five fingers clamped down on Danzo's bandage-wrapped right shoulder like iron pincers.
"No!"
Danzo let out an incomparably shrill scream.
Riiip!
The piercing sound of tearing flesh rang throughout the entire compound.
Blood burst forth!
Warm blood shot into the sky like a fountain, splattering across the grass nearby.
The scene seemed to freeze at that moment.
Chiba had forcibly torn off Danzo's entire right arm!
No hand seals.
No ninjutsu.
It was pure violence, pure physical domination!
Everything happened too fast.
From Chiba vanishing to Danzo losing his arm.
Not even a second had passed.
Danzo had no time to activate Izanagi, nor had he even gathered Chakra.
His prized trump card for survival became a complete joke before absolute speed and power.
"AAARGHHHH!"
Danzo clutched his spurting shoulder and rolled across the ground, wailing miserably.
His old face was covered in bead-sized drops of sweat, and even his features had twisted together.
The entire scene fell deathly silent.
Only Danzo's screams echoed through the air.
The heads of the Major Clans were all dumbfounded.
An inexplicable chill surged from the soles of their feet straight to their scalps.
Too ruthless!
Without another word, he had ripped apart a member of Konoha's high command!
Was this really the Senju Clan, famed for its compassion?
He was practically an Asura walking the earth!
"Chiba!"
"Have you lost your mind?!"
Sarutobi Hiruzen finally came to his senses.
He spun around, his eyes bloodshot as he let out an enraged roar.
An immense burst of Chakra erupted.
The Hokage's imposing presence was unleashed without reservation at that moment.
He had never imagined that Chiba would dare to cripple Danzo directly before his eyes!
This was no different from slapping him, the Hokage, across the face!
However.
Chiba did not even glance at Sarutobi Hiruzen.
He casually flicked his hand.
The severed right arm flew into the air.
The specially made bandages wrapped around it were shattered by Chiba's Chakra.
The next moment.
The right arm's true appearance was completely exposed before everyone.
The air froze at that moment.
Sarutobi Hiruzen's roar came to an abrupt stop.
Everyone's eyes were nailed to that severed arm.
It was an arm as pale as paper.
The surface of its skin even faintly bore the texture of tree bark.
The life force of the Senju Clan continuously radiated from that severed arm.
Wood Style!
That was undoubtedly an arm cultivated from Hashirama Cells!
But what truly made the whole crowd explode.
Was not merely the aura of Wood Style.
It was what had been embedded in that pale arm.
Scarlet.
Dazzling.
Sinister.
A full four blood-red eyeballs had been embedded in the skin of the arm in an utterly revolting arrangement!
Inside every eyeball, three black tomoe slowly rotated.
Even after being severed from its body.
Those four blood-red eyes still emanated an aura that sent chills down everyone's spine.
Sharingan!
And they were all Three Tomoe Sharingan!
"Hiss~"
"This is..."
"Savage! Too savage!"
The entire crowd erupted in sharp gasps.
Everyone's scalps tingled, and their stomachs churned.
Too disgusting.
Too horrifying.
On a single arm, the Wood Style Cells of the Senju Clan had been fused together with the Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan!
How could this be a human arm?
This was clearly an utterly evil patchwork creation!
"Danzo..."
Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura were so terrified that they collapsed onto the ground.
Pointing at Danzo rolling on the ground, their entire bodies shook like sieves.
In truth.
They knew Danzo had always been conducting human experiments.
But even in their wildest dreams, they had never imagined that Danzo would be so utterly deranged!
"Shimura... Danzo!"
Just then.
A terrifying killing intent erupted from within the crowd.
That killing intent was icy and bone-piercing, as though it could freeze the air itself.
Fugaku Uchiha stepped out from the crowd.
His shoulders heaved violently with extreme rage.
His scarlet eyes were fixed dead on Danzo on the ground.
The three tomoe in his pupils spun wildly, faintly showing signs of connecting into some sort of pattern!
The instant he saw those four Sharingan.
Fugaku Uchiha's reason snapped completely.
That was the bloodline of the Uchiha Clan!
Those were the dead forebears of the Uchiha Clan!
The Uchiha Clan had bled and sacrificed for the village, yet even after death, their corpses could not rest in peace.
For the entire Uchiha Clan, this was undoubtedly the greatest humiliation!
"You beast..."
"You actually dared to desecrate the eyes of my Uchiha Clan!"
"..."
