Your Time of Death Is Beyond Even the Death God's Control

Uchiha Kyu turned to Uchiha Ying and reminded him not to forget to record that test subject. That was the highest priority.

"It's already recorded, Clan Head."

Uchiha Ying hurriedly removed the tape from the camera and carefully sealed it inside a scroll.

Later, they only needed to find professionals to edit and dub it. Whether it was fact or fabrication would naturally be up to Uchiha Kyu.

At that moment, dense footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the laboratory.

"Seal all laboratory entrances and exits immediately."

"The rest of you, charge in with me. The time has come to serve the Clan Head."

"Clan Head, we're here."

Uchiha Haruto and Uchiha Okamoto rushed in with eight Elite Jonin.

After Uchiha Kyu had unified the entire Uchiha Clan, mobilizing a mere eight Elite Jonin was effortless for the clan.

A sense of foreboding rose in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart as he stared darkly at Uchiha Kyu. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Didn't we already reach an agreement? Are you planning to go back on your word?"

Danzo waved a hand, signaling his subordinates to prepare for battle. The trump card on his arm gave him ample confidence.

"The Uchiha Clan truly is an evil clan. Going back on their word is simply normal for them. Sarutobi, let's kill our way out together."

"Kill our way out?"

Uchiha Kyu tilted his head slightly as he stared at Danzo, a hint of danger flashing in his gaze.

"Sarutobi, you have two paths before you now."

"For Orochimaru's sake, kill Danzo, and I'll leave immediately, as if nothing ever happened."

"And the second path?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned forward slightly, assuming a combat stance.

"Then you have no choice. If you want to die, I can grant you that wish."

Uchiha Kyu slowly raised a hand above his head, then brought it down and pointed forward.

"Kill!"

"Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven."

Hyuga Hiashi struck first. Centered around himself, his hands continuously unleashed chakra, forming the unique defensive technique of Revolving Heaven and immediately suppressing the enemy's attack range.

"Ninja Art: Snake Shadow Hidden Hand."

Orochimaru fixed his attention on Danzo and attacked.

Orochimaru's attack immediately interrupted Danzo's attempt to dismantle the seal on his arm. Danzo hurriedly retreated and loudly ordered his subordinates to step forward.

The Anbu brought by Hiruzen Sarutobi swarmed forward. Hiruzen Sarutobi remained wary of the unmoving Uchiha Kyu and casually shot a quick glance at Danzo's right arm.

"Danzo, what exactly have you been hiding from me?"

"At this point, there's no need to hide it from you any longer."

Danzo rapidly dismantled the seal while watching the battle ahead.

"The Sharingan and Wood Release can neutralize each other's power, restraining one another so I won't suffer backlash."

"It seems you've hidden quite a lot from me over the years."

Hiruzen Sarutobi had believed he could keep Danzo under control, only to find himself outwitted after a lifetime of hunting geese.

"Still not making a move?" Seeing that Uchiha Kyu had yet to act, Orochimaru's pale face showed a trace of confusion.

"No rush." Uchiha Kyu's gaze darkened slightly. He was waiting for the other man's seal to be undone.

Otherwise, obtaining a sealed arm would be useless to him.

"Brother."

Hizashi Hyuga arrived late, bringing powerful members of the Main Family loyal to Hyuga Hiashi.

"Excellent. Join me."

Hyuga Hiashi turned around and tilted his head slightly. A sharp blade stabbed out from behind him.

"Eight Trigrams: Crushing Palm."

Hyuga Hiashi directly clamped the blade between both hands. With a twist, the sturdy blade shattered instantly.

"Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Six Palms."

With his abundant combat experience, Hyuga Hiashi spun around and unleashed the Hyuga Clan's secret consecutive palm strikes upon the Anbu ninja.

"Pfft!"

The Anbu ninja's internal organs were crushed, and his bones shattered. His entire body collapsed onto the ground like mud.

With the addition of Elite Jonin from the Hyuga Main Family, the situation had become obvious.

Against the Elite Jonin of both the Uchiha and Hyuga sides, the terror of the Sharingan and Byakugan rapidly decimated the Anbu and Root Organization ninjas.

The moment Danzo broke the seal, he tore off his bandages, revealing a smug expression.

"Let your arrogance be buried with you."

The Sharingan eyes opening one after another on Danzo's arm were exposed.

However, since the Uchiha Clan had not yet been exterminated, there were not many of them—only two pairs of Three-Tomoe Sharingan.

"Sarutobi, buy me an opportunity."

"Understood."

Danzo and Hiruzen Sarutobi moved with flawless coordination, one in front and one behind.

With Hiruzen Sarutobi covering him from the front, Danzo was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment.

"Uchiha Kyu, you will regret what you've done today."

Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately drew his opponent's attention, creating an opportunity for Danzo.

"Ha ha ha..."

Uchiha Kyu laughed wildly, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his eyes icy and sinister.

The laughter abruptly stopped, and a bizarre smile suddenly appeared on Uchiha Kyu's cold face.

"I've waited a long time for this moment."

"Whoosh!"

Uchiha Kyu vanished from where he stood.

At the same time, amid the melee, a kunai silently swept past Danzo's side.

"Slash!"

Uchiha Kyu appeared beside Danzo like a ghost. His voice was cold and brimming with killing intent as it rang by Danzo's ear.

"Returning this to its owner."

Danzo only saw a blur before Uchiha Kyu abruptly appeared beside him. Then, an arm flew out like lightning.

"Get lost!"

Uchiha Kyu formed a Rasengan and viciously slammed it into Hiruzen Sarutobi's back.

Bang!

Having entrusted his back to Danzo, Hiruzen Sarutobi was completely defenseless.

His aged body could not withstand the devastating Rasengan. His back was violently torn open, blood pouring forth as the sound of cracking bones suddenly rang out.

Pfft!

Hiruzen Sarutobi, caught off guard by the sneak attack, immediately spat blood and collapsed unconscious.

"Sarutobi!!!"

"Ah!!!"

Seeing his close friend ambushed and fall to the ground, dead or alive unknown, Danzo's eyes reddened with bloodshot veins in panic.

Ignoring everything else, he tore open his clothes, intending to use the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique inscribed upon his body to perish together with his enemy.

I am Konoha's Root. Today, I will protect Konoha.

Sarutobi, this time, I won.

Danzo closed his eyes, recalling the scene from long ago that had determined both his and Sarutobi's fates.

"Did you think I'd let you get your way?"

Uchiha Kyu's voice sounded like a devil's whisper.

Danzo abruptly opened his eyes, his face instantly turning pale. He could not even choose his own death.

His Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique had not activated. Instead, his Sealing Jutsu had been sealed in reverse.

"Even death is not yours to choose. I decide your time of death."

Uchiha Kyu sent Danzo flying with a kick.

In a flash, Uchiha Kyu leaped from where he stood and viciously kicked Danzo in the stomach.

"Gah!"

Danzo spat out a massive mouthful of blood, his eyeballs nearly popping out from the blow.

Boom!!!

Immediately afterward, Uchiha Kyu landed by stomping directly onto Danzo's face.

"Your time of death is beyond even the Death God's control."

Uchiha Kyu repeatedly stomped on Danzo's face, endlessly humiliating him as he picked up the arm he had severed.
