Below the Hokage's office building, many Chunin and Genin who had been lingering in the distance stood frozen in place, with Sakura covering her mouth and exclaiming in surprise.
" Sasuke! Sasuke is back, which means..."
As if realizing something, Sakura looked up at Uchiha Sasuke inside the barrier, feeling a wave of sadness wash over her.
The other ninjas from the same generation were stunned. Why was Uchiha Sasuke using a barrier to surround the Fifth Hokage? What exactly happened?!
" Uchiha Sasuke, what are you doing? Attacking the Fifth Hokage and betraying Konoha!"
The Root squad leader shouted angrily, but one after another, elite Konoha stepped forward to stop him, making even the Root ninja feel extremely troubled.
Kakashi lifted his Forehead Protector, his eyes flashing with Tomoe as he scanned his surroundings.
"Mr. Shikaku, what exactly happened? Even everyone is personally taking action to stop the Root ninjas from rescuing the Fifth Hokage..."
The next second, a mist appeared, gradually changing colors under the sunlight.
"Reporting to Orochimaru, since the plan is sound, then proceed as follows..."
His expressions while participating in the Konoha Crush Plan within Root, his various demeanor while planning the leak of information about the Third Great Ninja War, and the documents and intelligence regarding his collusion with Orochimaru...
As these scenes unfolded amidst the mist, a 'live broadcast' of Konoha High Command took place in the sky above the Konoha, Danzo's expression changed drastically as he looked around.
"Are you kidding me?! Orochimaru, who killed the Third Hokage, colluded with the Fifth Hokage? What kind of nonsense is this?!"
"Damn it, what are the upper echelons of Konoha doing? How could they let such a dangerous person become the Fifth Hokage? I don't trust him."
"Remove him from his position Hokage Advisor and severely punish the accomplices who murdered the Third Hokage!"
" Revere the Hokage, Punish the Traitor! Revere the Hokage, Punish the Traitor..."
In an instant, the many Chunin and Genin were filled with indignation. Naruto, caught in the wave of emotions, smiled and muttered to himself.
"As expected of Brother Huayue, he seized the initiative with the first move, and the show is about to begin."
The wind direction suddenly changed. Inside the Four Red Yang Formation, Danzo ashen. A face hidden behind a mask appeared in his mind, and he gritted his teeth.
" Uchiha Huayue..."
"Do you still believe that anyone in Konoha acknowledges you as the Fifth Hokage? Danzo..."
"Only the Hokage recognized by everyone is the Hokage of Konoha. You are just a clown abandoned by the village. I am now going to avenge my brother who became the butcher's knife in your hand. Be prepared."
A flash of azure lightning illuminated the blade, traversing space in the blink of an eye to reach Danzo.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Unexpectedly, the scene Sasuke had envisioned— Danzo's heart—did not occur; instead, his Chidori Blade was blocked by the bandaged hand.
Brass-colored metal rods popped out from the bandage in his right hand. After some kind of sealing artifact fell down, Sasuke's expression changed drastically.
If his expression just now was one of resolute determination to avenge his brother, then now it is one of anger and hatred over the tragic end of his clan.
" Sharingan, that pale skin is what you use to maintain the Sharingan, isn't it? What do you take our Uchiha Clan for?!"
Knowing that he was facing a near-certain death today, Danzo remained indifferent and spoke in a cold tone.
"An unstable element in Konoha, a time bomb that must be eliminated, and a storage depot of eyes that is still somewhat useful."
In an instant, Sasuke, who prided himself on his composure, was blinded by rage. Deep purple bones began to emerge, and the Deep Karasu Tengu Armor instantly attached itself to the fleshy half-giant.
"How many Uchiha clan members' lives were used to create this arm of yours? Go to the Yomi and repent to the Uchiha Clan! Die!"
Black flames spread, and jet-black arrows suddenly shot out. Danzo hand Hand Seals, remaining calm and fearless.
Pfft!
The arrow Danzo instantly, and he slumped his head listlessly, as if he had already been utterly defeated before he even made a move.
Ding! Snap!
The sound of blades clashing against Susanoo rang out. Sasuke turned his head and saw Danzo's figure appear behind him at some point, his Kunai completely shattered.
"This is Susanoo's defense; it's indeed quite troublesome..."
The next second, Danzo, who had been hit by the sharp blade, quietly disappeared. Danzo, who appeared behind Susanoo, then flashed toward the Four Red Yang Formation.
"Don't even think about escaping!"
Black flames reignited, and Kunai imbued with black flames and Chidori were shot out with the arrows. Danzo, who was already close to the Four Red Yang Formation, smiled strangely and remained motionless.
Pfft!
In an instant, he was pierced again, Danzo died once more in front of Sasuke.
To his surprise, when the commander reappeared, he was already outside the Four Red Yang Formation.
" Uchiha Clan brats, you don't even know your clan's forbidden technique, Izanagi. The Uchiha Clan has truly declined, hehehe..."
Before he could finish speaking, Danzo had already used the Body Flicker Technique to escape. After hastily dispelling the Four Red Yang Formation, Sasuke's eyes snapped open, and a pair of huge, deep purple wings stirred up countless gusts of wind.
" Danzo, don't even think about escaping!"
This swift and unexpected battle left the Konoha crowd below dumbfounded. Kakashi frowned, while Might Guy was even more astonished.
" Kakashi, did you see that...?"
"Ah, Danzo's arm, the two Sharingan closed after his two deaths, it's probably a forbidden technique that requires sacrificing the Sharingan to activate, but compared to that..."
The scene shifts, and the heads of numerous prestigious Konoha clans and Secret Jutsu families inadvertently surround the two Hokage Advisor.
What do you mean by this?
"I apologize, Koharu Koharu Homura. Until we have thoroughly investigated whether you two are suspected of colluding with Danzo, please wait here for the outcome."
Nara Shikaku spoke calmly, looking at the Susanoo flying across the ground, feeling utterly helpless.
Now, Konoha not only has a God of Shinobi, but also Mangekyō Sharingan user second only to him, and the Uchiha Clan has become a powerful force.
"What are you doing...?"
Utatane Koharu was about to make a move when she was stopped by Mitokado Homura, who shook his head repeatedly.
"Fine, this is Danzo's own doing. I only hope that, considering the countless contributions he has secretly made to Konoha, I can at least spare his life..."
"His merits and demerits can offset each other, but he secretly harmed his colleagues, even going so far as to kill Kagami Uchiha in order to steal his Mangekyō Sharingan. How do you two Hokage Advisor intend to characterize this matter?"
A clear laugh echoed in their ears, and the two Hokage Advisor' pupils contracted, and they couldn't help but turn around to look.
" Uchiha... Huayue?! You... what did you say? Kagami Uchiha didn't suddenly fall ill..."
Before they could finish speaking, the two Hokage Advisor recalled the bandage that had been wrapped around Danzo's right eye at some point. They exchanged a glance, their expressions extremely grim.
Meanwhile, outside Konoha, at a certain Anbu...
Danzo's face was pale. At his age, the backlash from using Hashirama Cells was still too much for him to bear.
"Damn Uchiha..."
"Oh? Isn't this Lord Danzo? It's been a long time. Thanks to you, the Director and I have suffered quite a bit outside, almost dying at each other's hands."
