Uchiha Shisui: Danzo, Don't You Recognize Me?

Konoha.

Everyone present was taken aback. Konoha's Hokage had actually decided, in public, to slaughter Konoha's civilians.

Then, although only the heads of Nara Ka and the others sealed by Orochimaru remained unsealed, they were clearly stunned when they heard Sarutobi Hiruzen's order.

Slaughter all the civilians?

These people had resisted, but that did not mean they deserved to die, did it?

If they were being sacrificed for the Impure World Reincarnation, it might still have been understandable. But Sarutobi Hiruzen clearly wanted those people to die outright.

Sarutobi Hiruzen had completely lost his mind.

The Impure World Reincarnation shinobi who had long been standing by began to move. They drew their kunai, preparing to slaughter the civilians.

"Stop!"

At the low shout, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the voice.

Then, the masked person who had been following behind Xuanyu stepped forward. Yet when he appeared again, he was already fifty or sixty meters away, standing before an Impure World Reincarnation shinobi who was about to attack the civilians.

Bang.

The man was sent flying at once. He also seemed to have fallen under a genjutsu, collapsing to the ground as if trapped in endless torment, howling in agony without pause.

"How did he appear so far away in an instant? Teleportation?"

Sarutobi Hiruzen's pupils contracted at the sight. This was not an ordinary Body Flicker Technique. After all, Body Flicker did not make someone instantly appear before others; one could still see the user's movement trajectory. But this masked person had clearly not used Body Flicker.

Because there had been no movement at all—he had simply appeared across from them in an instant.

Only the Flying Thunder God Technique could likely achieve such a feat.

Huh?

But there was clearly... no Flying Thunder God Mark.

Just as everyone
