To the death

Feng Yao had lost patience with someone like Danzo, who could not recognize the difference in their strength.

He lashed out with a kick, sending Danzo flying like a cannonball!

Kamui!

He appeared right beside Danzo!

Danzo was still in midair and had no time to react!

Swish!

Feng Yao severed his entire right arm in an instant!

"Aah!"

Blood sprayed!

Feng Yao had already returned to his original position.

His long blade tilted back.

He was also holding the entire bandage-wrapped arm!

Feng Yao sneered.

With absolute strength on my side, why would I play your little resurrection game?

Without those Sharingan, let's see how you save your life!

"Lord Danzo!"

Seeing Danzo injured, nearly all the Root members still fighting rushed over like madmen.

They risked injury to reach Danzo's side and protect him!

The subordinate fighting Fugaku dissolved into flying insects and gathered protectively around Danzo.

The remaining Anbu had been no match for the Uchiha to begin with.

Before, two or three of them had faced each Uchiha. Now, two or three Uchiha were facing each of them.

They stood no chance and were all killed in the end!

Naruto Uzumaki, in particular, had killed nearly half the Root members in his Tailed Beast Transformation!

The reek of blood rose into the sky!

The two sides faced off once again!

Aside from a few wounded, the Uchiha had suffered virtually no casualties.

Danzo's side, however, had only a few dozen people left compared to before!

"Kill him! Kill him now and get my arm back!"

Danzo went mad!

His expression was utterly dark!

He had never expected his opponent to be so strong!

The Root members he had brought today were all his elite forces, yet they had been almost entirely wiped out!

His heart was bleeding!

Even more unexpected was the loss of his right arm!

That arm was his life!

Without those Sharingan, how could he activate Izanagi?

How could he become Hokage?!

Should I use Kotoamatsukami?!

No, that's reserved for Hiruzen.

I absolutely cannot let those Uchiha see the arm beneath the bandages!

"Stop! Uchiha Fugaku, are you rebelling?!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi finally arrived after gathering the Anbu and ninja from the various clans.

From far away, he had seen Uchiha Fengyao cut off his close friend's arm!

His eyes immediately widened in fury, nearly spitting fire. His Hokage robes were thrown open, revealing the combat gear underneath.

The clan ninja following him included members of Konoha's major clans, such as the Hyuga, Ino-Shika-Cho, Inuzuka, and Aburame.

When they arrived and saw the corpses strewn across the ground and the jinchūriki in Tailed Beast Transformation, they sucked in a cold breath!

They knew something major was going to happen today!

When the Third saw that none of the corpses belonged to the Uchiha Clan, some clarity immediately returned to his originally furious gaze.

But the wariness in his eyes grew even stronger.

Naruto in his Tailed Beast Transformation, in particular, had three tomoe hanging inverted in his eyes!

The Third was instantly horrified, his pupils contracting sharply.

He had originally thought Naruto would, at most, be taken hostage. He had never expected Naruto to be controlled!

The village's jinchūriki was actually being manipulated!

Hiruzen Sarutobi felt a chill shoot straight into his heart!

The Uchiha were already extremely powerful, with thirty to forty three-tomoe elites in their clan alone.

Now they also had a jinchūriki under their control.

That force was enough to take the village head-on!

"Hiruzen!"

"The Uchiha have rebelled!"

"Quick, let's join forces and wipe out the Uchiha!"

Danzo was overjoyed to see the large force of reinforcements Hiruzen had brought.

At that moment, all he wanted was to get his arm back!

Hiruzen Sarutobi ignored Danzo.

He looked at Fugaku and appealed to their shared ties.

"Enough. Whatever the reason, we're all part of the village. Can't we talk things through?"

Hearing Hiruzen Sarutobi's words, Feng Yao burst out laughing.

"Hahaha! Hiruzen Sarutobi, now you're appealing to our shared ties!"

"What were you doing when we Uchiha were falsely accused? And what were you doing when we Uchiha were driven to the edge of Konoha?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's face turned livid. This was the Uchiha who had severed Danzo's arm.

"Who are you?"

"This is our Uchiha Clan's new clan head, Uchiha Fengyao!"

Fugaku stepped forward at just the right moment to explain on Feng Yao's behalf.

"Hiruzen, why waste any more words? The Uchiha have already rebelled! They've even taken control of the jinchūriki!"

Danzo urged the Third to attack. He was on the verge of madness. The bandages on that arm absolutely could not be removed.

"Elder Setsuna, remove the bandages!"

Feng Yao sneered and handed Danzo's right arm to Uchiha Setsuna.

"Stop! That belongs to me! Setsuna, if you Uchiha dare touch it, I, Danzo, will never let you off!"

Danzo really was on the verge of madness.

"Heh, you won't let us off? I think it's we Uchiha who won't let you off!"

Feng Yao sneered. He truly had no idea where Danzo found his courage.

He really had spent so long immersed in the shadows that he had forgotten about strength.

Although Uchiha Setsuna was puzzled, every move Feng Yao had made had been correct.

Danzo's frenzied threats, in particular, only strengthened Uchiha Setsuna's resolve.

Seeing Danzo's threats and Feng Yao's attitude, the Third felt a sense of foreboding well up in his heart.

The ninja from the other clans, especially Hyuga Hiashi, Shikaku, Choza, and the others, were also filled with confusion and curiosity.

What exactly was hidden there that made Danzo resort to threats to keep the bandages from being removed?

"Th-this is!"

Seeing what was on the arm, nearly every Uchiha was enraged at that very moment!

The arm was covered in Sharingan!

The ninja from the other clans, especially Hyuga Hiashi, felt a chill shoot straight into their hearts!

The Third's heart sank sharply when he saw the Sharingan on the arm!

"Shimura Danzō!"

"What is the meaning of the Sharingan on this arm?!"

The Sharingan in Uchiha Setsuna's eyes nearly spat fire!

The other Uchiha all turned their Sharingan toward Danzo, their killing intent toward him nearly reaching its peak!

Some clansmen who still had one-tomoe or two-tomoe Sharingan awakened three tomoe amid their agitation and rage!

This is trouble.

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked around, his aged face immediately creasing.

The various clans that had originally answered Hiruzen Sarutobi's call and followed him to suppress the rebellion

were now all glaring furiously at Shimura Danzō.

Many clans had already been unhappy about Danzo forcibly recruiting their talented members into Root.

And now Danzo was actually coveting the kekkei genkai and secret techniques of the bloodline clans.

It sent shivers down their spines.

These were the very foundations of their existence. Danzo was tearing out their clans' roots.

Today it was only the Uchiha. Would it be their turn tomorrow?

The Uchiha, the ones directly involved, had yet to speak.

Instead, the Hyuga Clan's head, Hyuga Hiashi, was the first to question him!

"Elder Danzo, what is the meaning of this?"

"These were left behind on the battlefield by the Uchiha Clan. I merely collected them out of kindness!"

Danzo rattled off the lie without hesitation.

Uchiha Fengyao actually laughed at the sight.

"Collected them out of kindness? What an absolute joke!"

"What? Did they grow legs and run over to make a home on your body?"

"Today, I'll make the Uchiha's position clear. If you don't hand over the remaining Sharingan..."

Feng Yao's Mangekyō Sharingan opened wide, and surging chakra and Spiritual Pressure swept across the entire gathering!

"We Uchiha will fight Konoha... to the death!!!"
