"Jingyi Hyuga!!!"
Shimura Danzō's nose was practically crooked with rage. That damned brat had blocked him in this alley, neither attacking nor allowing them to leave—just keeping them trapped there.

Before he could finish, the Third Hokage froze.
That was right. What had Shimura Danzō been doing at the Uchiha
