But before the fight,
Naruto Uzumaki's eyes had looked normal.
What was going on?
"Lord Danzo, we can't hold out much longer."
"Run!"
As Shimura Danzō stood there in a daze, Aburame Ryoma shouted from the crowd.
The next instant,
the sound of a blade slicing through flesh rang out, and Aburame Ryoma's voice stopped abruptly.
Only then did Shimura Danzō realize that, of the nearly hundred elite ninja who had been there, fewer than ten could still fight.
"Damn it!"
Seeing how badly things had turned, Shimura Danzō prepared to flee alone.
As far as he was concerned,

Naruto Uzumaki blocked Shimura Danzō's path, a streak of blood still on his face.
Shimura Danzō looked back in terror and saw that every Root ninja was dead.
"You... you monster!"
Terror spread across Shimura Danzō's face.
Killing so many elite ninja in such a short time took strength far beyond what he had expected.
"As I see it, the one who transplanted that many Sharingan into his body is more of a monster."
Naruto Uzumaki glanced at the bandages covering Shimura Danzō and sneered.
"You know?"
"You planned all of this?"
As though a realization had struck him, Shimura Danzō stared at Naruto Uzumaki in shock.

Before this, Shimura Danzō had never been able to work out who was plotting against them.
Now that he had seen Naruto Uzumaki's Sharingan, he finally understood.
The brat before him
