Danzo's breathing stopped.
He recognized this kind of jar.
It was a burial vessel used by the Uchiha Clan to store the eyes of the deceased. It was fired from clay, and the inner wall was coated with a secret medicinal liquid that would protect it from the corrosion of time. The mouth of the jar was sealed with fire paint and had the clan emblem of the Uchiha Clan printed on it.
Seventeen.
He reached out his hand tremblingly and touched the nearest one.
Paint peeling off.
The jar lid is open.
A pair of Two-Tomoe Sharingan were quietly soaked in the pale golden antiseptic liquid, and their scarlet pupils still shone with a strange light even in the dim light.
Danzo's throat escaped with a breath that was almost like a sigh.
2 Tomoe.
Perfect condition.
Stored like new.
His hands didn't stop.
The first pair - the seal scroll.
The second pair - the income seal scroll.
The third pair - also two Tomoe, one of them has a slight old wound on the edge of the pupil, which does not affect its use.
The fourth pair--
He had just put the fourth pair of eyes into the scroll, and his fingertips had not yet been removed from the Sealing Jutsu style--
A deep voice came from the direction of the entrance to the stone chamber.
"Who?"
Danzo's back suddenly stiffened.
He didn't look back.
He recognized that voice, Konoha Military Police Force's rotation captain, Uchiha Inabi.
The confidant of Uchiha Fugaku, the owner of a pair of Three-Tomoe Sharingan.
What was even more deadly was the second voice that followed.
"Enemy attack--! The inner treasury has been invaded--!"
That is the warning whistle of Uchiha Secret Guard, sharp and short, enough to penetrate layers of seals and reach every hidden whistle and every pair of Sharingan in the clan.
The warning whistle cut through the silence like a knife blade.
Danzo turned around suddenly.
At the entrance of the stone chamber, Uchiha Inabi has turned on Sharingan, and Three Tomoe Sharingan is flowing scarlet in the darkness. Next to him stands another young secret guard, also Three Tomoe Sharingan, with his body in a fighting posture, and the warning whistle is still held on his lips.
The two of them looked past Danzo and landed on the long ironwood table behind him.
It fell on the pried paint seal, the unsealed clay pot, and the half-open seal scroll in his hand.
From the seventeen jars, slowly move towards Danzo's bandaged half of his face, his one eye, and his dark gray casual clothes.
Then he recognized him.
"...Danzo!"
Extreme anger.
For Danzo, the elder who targets Uchiha Clan everywhere, Uchiha Clan people can say that they hate him deeply.
Danzo's single eye looked at the pair of Three Tomoe Sharingan.
He knows what he looks like at this moment.
Infiltrator.
Thief.
Rats captured on the spot.
His hand is still holding the sealing scroll. The scroll contains four pairs of eyes of Uchiha ancestors.
The tolerance of the third generation Hokage, the low profile of Fugaku, and the threat of that mysterious man--
At this moment, his mind forgot all of this.
There is only one thought left.
--Don't let anyone know that I'm here.
Uchiha Inabi took a step forward, and Three Tomoe Sharingan rotated at high speed.
"Danzo."
"You're looking for death."
Danzo's one eye slowly narrowed.
Hokage In the assistant office, the tea is almost gone.
Mitokado Homura picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Danzo moved.
There is no hesitation, no retreat.
His right hand stretched out like a withered claw, reaching straight for Uchiha Inabi's throat--
It's a frontal attack.
"Wind Release·Vacuum Blade!"
Wind attribute chakra is poured into Kunai, turning into a translucent invisible blade that tears the air and screams.
Danzo's figure pulled out an afterimage in the narrow stone room. The speed was so fast that he was completely different from the one just now.
Uchiha Inabi's Three Tomoe Sharingan rotated at high speed and could capture the trajectory of this blow.
"Dang--!"
The Kunai he set up broke in response, and the residual force of Vacuum Blade scratched the skin of his forehead, and blood dripped down his brow bone.
Uchiha Inabi staggered back, his pupils constricted.
--This is the true strength of Danzo.
Even at such an old age.
Even if the right eye is empty.
Even though Sharingan is sealed in his right arm, he cannot use his full chakra.
Kage Level, Kage Level after all.
"Fire Release·Great Fireball Technique!"
The young secret guard attacked from the flank, and the blazing fireball was compressed to the limit, like a small sun hitting Danzo.
Danzo didn't even look at him.
Left hand single hand Hand Seals.
"Wind Release·Great Breakthrough."
A strong wind surged out from his palm, and the huge fireball was blown back in the opposite direction. The secret guard jumped back in horror, his clothes were still burned by his own flames, and he beat around in confusion.
"Trash."
Danzo's one eye showed no fluctuation at all.
He turned around and Vacuum Blade went straight for Uchiha Inabi's throat.
Uchiha Inabi gritted his teeth and pulled out the second Kunai from his waist. Three Tomoe Sharingan turned wildly, anticipating, dodging, and blocking.
But every blow made his jaw numb, and every step back was forced into a narrower corner by the next more vicious blow.
It's not like he has never fought against strong men.
But the feeling of playing against Danzo is completely different.
This person doesn't have any superfluous movements.
Every blow goes straight to the point.
Every blow is aimed at killing.
This is not a discussion.
This is a fighting method that he has honed after decades of dormancy in the dark, and exists only to kill the enemy.
"Uchiha Inabi Captain!"
Another secret guard joined the battle group and strangled Danzo from behind with his double swords.
Danzo swept back with a Vacuum Blade, and the secret guard's Kunai was torn apart along with his armor, and a bloody hole opened on his chest. He hit the stone wall, slipped, and lost consciousness.
Uchiha Inabi's breathing is stagnant.
Also a Jonin.
The same is Three Tomoe Sharingan.
But the gap is an unimaginable abyss.
He already understood that without reinforcements, he would die here, and the reinforcements had not yet arrived.
The warning whistle penetrated the seals and reverberated sharply over Uchiha Compound.
The first batch of reinforcements arrived within half a quarter of an hour.
When Uchiha Fū rushed into the stone room, he saw Danzo kicking Uchiha Inabi away. Uchiha Inabi's body smashed a row of shelves in the corner, sawdust flying, and blood spurting from his mouth.
The wind's Three Tomoe Sharingan lights up in the dimness.
He didn't make a sound, and he didn't even have time to get angry.
His Kunai has already been released, and three Shuriken are in the shape of a pin, blocking the route of Danzo pursuing Uchiha Inabi.
Danzo ducked sideways.
Uchiha Fū has entered the battle circle and stands side by side with Uchiha Inabi.
Danzo's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't say anything, and the battle broke out again.
Feng and Uchiha Inabi join forces, and Three Tomoe Sharingan echoes each other, attacking and defending in a tacit understanding.
The Kunai of the two people intertwined into a network, and the fire escape and Taijutsu took turns suppressing--
But still can't win Danzo.
That Vacuum Blade was like the scythe of death, forcing them to take half a step back every time it was swung.
Danzo's breathing is already a little heavy.
The wound on his left shoulder was torn deeper during the battle, and blood soaked half of his clothes.
His movements were no longer as sharp as when the battle began, and there was an imperceptible lag between blocking and dodging.
Soon, more and more Uchiha arrived.
"Surround him."
"Don't let him get away."
"Seal all escape routes."
Sounds came from all directions.
