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

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

"It's already recorded, Clan Head."

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

Later, they would only need to find professionals to edit and dub it. Whether it was truth or a frame-up would naturally be up to Uchiha Kyu.

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

"Immediately seal off the laboratory entrances and exits."

"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 going back on your word?"

Danzo waved for his subordinates to prepare to act. The trump card on his arm gave him ample confidence.

"As expected of the evil Uchiha Clan. Going back on your word is simply normal for you. Sarutobi, let's kill our way out together."

"Kill our way out?"

Uchiha Kyu tilted his head slightly as he stared at Danzo, a dangerous glint rising in his eyes.

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

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

"And the second path?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi leaned forward slightly, assuming a combat stance.

"Then there's 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 ahead.

"Kill!"

"Eight Trigrams Palms: Revolving Heaven."

Hyuga Hiashi struck first. Centered on himself, he continuously released chakra with both hands, forming the unique defensive Revolving Heaven and immediately suppressing the enemy's attack range.

"Ninja Art: Snake Shadow Hidden Hand."

Orochimaru focused his attacks on Danzo.

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

The Anbu brought by Hiruzen Sarutobi swarmed forward. Hiruzen Sarutobi remained wary of the unmoving Uchiha Kyu and quickly glanced 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, keeping each other in check and preventing backlash."

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

Hiruzen Sarutobi had believed he could keep Danzo under control, yet he had been pecked by the very bird he hunted all day.

"Aren't you going to make a move?" Orochimaru asked, seeing that Uchiha Kyu had yet to act. Confusion appeared on his pale face.

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

Otherwise, a sealed arm would be useless to him.

"Brother."

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

"Perfect. Join me."

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

"Eight Trigrams: Crushing Palm."

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

"Eight Trigrams: Thirty-Six Palms."

With his extensive combat experience, Hyuga Hiashi immediately turned and unleashed the Hyuga Clan's secret consecutive palm strikes on that Anbu ninja.

"Pfft!"

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

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

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

The instant Danzo released the seal, he tore away the bandages, revealing a smug expression.

"Let your arrogance be buried alongside you."

The opened Sharingan on Danzo's arm were exposed.

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

"Sarutobi, buy me an opportunity."

"Understood."

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

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

"Uchiha Kyu, you'll regret what you did today."

Hiruzen Sarutobi deliberately drew the other man's attention, creating an opportunity for Danzo.

"Hahaha..."

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

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

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

"Whoosh!"

Uchiha Kyu vanished from where he stood.

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

"Swish!"

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

"Returning this to its rightful owner."

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

"Get lost!"

Uchiha Kyu formed a Rasengan and viciously smashed 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 immensely destructive Rasengan. His back was forcibly torn open, blood gushing out as the sound of cracking bones rang sharply.

"Pfft!"

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

"Sarutobi!!!"

"Ah!!!"

Seeing his close friend fall after being ambushed, with his fate unknown, Danzo's eyes reddened with bloodshot veins in desperation.

Without hesitation, he tore open his clothes, intending to use the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique carved onto his body to perish together with his opponent.

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

Sarutobi, this time, I won.

Danzo closed his eyes, recalling the scene from back then that had decided both his and Sarutobi's fates.

"You think I'll let you have your way?"

Uchiha Kyu's voice sounded like a demon whispering.

Danzo abruptly opened his eyes, his face instantly turning deathly 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 the time of your death."

Uchiha Kyu sent Danzo flying with a direct kick.

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

"Gah!"

Danzo spat out a huge mouthful of blood, his eyeballs nearly popping out.

Boom!!!

Immediately afterward, Uchiha Kyu came down hard, 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, continuously humiliating him as he picked up the arm he had severed.
