" Danzo, you're a madman!"
Kakashi gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill Danzo right now, but he couldn't, because the safety of Konoha was in Danzo's hands, and no one could make a move against Danzo until all the Explosive Tag were cleared.
And that was Danzo's goal.
By tying Konoha and the individuals together, making the siblings hesitant to act, and thus gaining a chance to breathe, and then joining forces with old teammates Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, the risks can be eliminated at the root!
After completely controlling the high-ranking officials and daimyo of the Land of Fire, there might be an opportunity to remove Tsunade from the Hokage Position, the Sixth Hokage...
The future is still full of hope!
So what if he becomes the Fifth Hokage? The true power of Konoha is still not something they can control!
" Kakashi, go back and report. I will give Tsunade an explanation for that matter, but to think you can destroy Root is wishful thinking!"
" Danzo!!!"
Kakashi could barely contain his anger. His crimson Three-Tomoe Sharingan spun faster and faster in his eyeballs, almost connecting head to tail.
Danzo's leisurely expression froze. As he watched the Three-Tomoe Sharingan shape gradually change, an unbelievable guess arose in Danzo's mind, followed by endless greed.
Mangekyō Sharingan! Another Mangekyō Sharingan! I must get it, I absolutely must get it!
Danzo's greedy gaze was almost undisguised, fixed on Kakashi, or more accurately, on Kakashi's Sharingan!
But Kakashi had no time to pay attention to Danzo, who was practically drooling with cravings. His eyes were practically bursting open. Although his Sharingan would usually ache slightly, it had never hurt as intensely as it did this time!
Warm blood flowed from his eye socket. Kakashi covered his left eye and took two steps back. Fortunately, he was caught by Anbu Ninja before he fell. Otherwise, Kakashi might have become the first Anbu leader to be 'frightened'.
So much happened in just over ten minutes. Kakashi collapsed so suddenly. Did Danzo use some unknown methods, or did Kakashi and Danzo reach a shady deal to cover their tracks?
However, this method is far too clumsy. Even the children at the Ninja Academy wouldn't believe it, let alone the clan heads present.
But just as everyone was puzzled and the Anbu Ninja were at a loss, Danzo, leaning on a cane Danzo old and frail, suddenly made a move, unleashing a speed that was completely different from his age. Before everyone could react, he directly grabbed Kakashi's left eye.
The technique was skillful and precise, like a high-standard surgery. Danzo just gouged out Shisui Uchiha's eyeballs in the same instant.
He was about to succeed... Seeing that Kakashi was still in pain, Danzo felt incredibly lucky; he was about to obtain another Mangekyō Sharingan!
When Danzo's left hand touched Kakashi's eyelids, he could almost feel the warm blood flowing through him, and the soft eyeball that exuded a beautiful aura!
" Kakashi, I'll accept your Mangekyō Sharingan."
Danzo slight force, afraid of damaging his most precious Mangekyō Sharingan. Once he transplanted this Sharingan, he would no longer fear even Wood Release!
But at Danzo's most excited moment, Kakashi's left eye seemed to stop spinning, and the three black Tomoe connected together, forming a black sickle-shaped pattern.
Faced with danger, Kakashi almost instinctively used the Dōjutsu of his Mangekyō Sharingan.
Kamui!
Ten centimeters in front of Kakashi, space gradually twisted into a spiral shape and collapsed inward. The extremely sharp black spatial rift instantly tore Danzo's left forearm, then his wrist, left hand, and even the left half of Danzo's body, all being torn apart by space.
Despite the excruciating pain of his severed arm, Danzo ignored the bleeding from his left arm and rolled to the side. Although the posture was not befitting of Danzo, the leader of Root, it was highly effective. Danzo escaped Kamui's attack range in a somewhat disheveled manner.
" Space-Time Ninjutsu, ah... So this is the Dōjutsu residing within your Mangekyō Sharingan? I really want it more and more!"
Despite having his arm torn off, Danzo showed no fear whatsoever; instead, his desire for Kakashi's Sharingan grew even stronger.
Danzo slightly moved his left arm, pulling off the clothing that was covering it, revealing his right arm, which was sealed by ninja tools. The Root ninja beside him skillfully released the seal on the ninja tools, Danzo calmly gave the order:
"Hold them off and buy me some time."
Under Danzo's orders, the Root ninjas, like lifeless living dead, attacked their clan leaders, elders, and even their fathers without any restraint. As for the Anbu Ninja, they were even more ruthless, killing with every move without holding back.
"With their own safety as the priority, they may resort to killing if necessary. Danzo has betrayed Konoha, so they are no longer Konoha's comrades!"
The Anbu Ninja blocked the Root ninjas' attack. Although the Anbu had the advantage in numbers, Anbu were at a complete disadvantage in terms of combat ability. After all, most of the Anbu were commoner ninjas, while the Root were clan ninjas.
The heads of various clans cast grateful glances at Kakashi. The fact that the Anbu Ninja had spared them meant that these clansmen who had been captured and taken to Root still had a way out and wouldn't be implicated by Danzo.
Now that Kakashi has shown goodwill, they need to respond.
"Captain Kakashi, let him deal with our unfilial son. After this is over, we'll make him apologize to the Lord Hokage and Konoha."
"Yes, yes, Chief Kakashi, let me serve our family's unworthy members."
Kakashi, the Western Commander... that title... isn't bad...
"Alright, but you should be careful. They are not the people you remember. They will not hold back in a fight."
Kakashi naturally wouldn't refuse their help, or rather, he brought them here not only to have them witness the events, but more importantly, to have them deal with the Root ninjas. Clan ninjas who practice secret techniques should naturally be dealt with by clan ninjas.
"Don't worry, Chief Kakashi, we'll be careful."
After a brief exchange, the heads of the various clans found their clansmen and began a duel using the same secret techniques. With fewer clan ninjas who had mastered various secret techniques, the balance of the battle gradually shifted towards the Anbu.
However, Danzo of this. Even if all the Root ninjas died, it wouldn't matter. All he needed to do was get close to Kakashi and take that powerful Sharingan with its Space-Time Ninjutsu!
As the final safety device was released, the heavy metal ninja tool fell to the ground, revealing Danzo's grotesque arm Danzo in Sharingan.
Perhaps because he hadn't been active for a long time, Danzo was still a little out of sorts. Under Kakashi's incredulous gaze, Danzo's Sharingan slowly opened on his entire arm.
"Then, Kakashi, I'll accept your Sharingan."
