Konoha Village.
Senju clan compound.
“What kind of eyes are those?!”
“It’s not three tomoe—the pattern changed!”
“This kind of chakra pressure… how could it be so absurdly strong?!”
Seeing Fugaku Uchiha’s eyes, the ninjas who were unaware of the situation cried out in shock.
The pipe in Hiruzen Sarutobi’s hand fell to the ground with a sharp clack.
Yet he didn’t even care to pick it up, his gaze deadlocked on Fugaku’s eyes.
Someone in the Uchiha clan had actually awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan again!
Danzo’s breathing also hitched.
He never expected that Fugaku Uchiha, who had always been timid and passive, was actually hiding a trump card like this.
However, he quickly forced himself to calm down.
So what if it was the Mangekyo?
Without the cells of the Senju clan to provide vitality, forcibly using those eyes would only speed up the rate of going blind!
“Playing tricks!” Danzo barked furiously.
He wasted no more words, deciding to strike first.
The five fingers of his remaining left hand fluttered, forming single-handed seals at a dizzying speed.
“Fūton: Vacuum Serial Waves!”
Danzo inhaled a massive breath of air and spewed it out violently.
Over a dozen crescent-shaped, invisible wind blades roared forth.
These wind blades were extraordinarily sharp; wherever they passed, even the bluestone slabs on the ground were sliced into deep trenches.
Fugaku Uchiha stood in place without moving an inch.
Blood and tears flowed from both of his eyes.
“Susanoo!”
Substantiated dark-gold chakra erupted.
Immediately after, a massive skeletal ribcage rose from the ground, firmly protecting Fugaku at the very center.
Meridian lines and muscles rapidly climbed and wrapped around the bones.
In just a few short seconds, a half-body Tengu God of War standing dozens of meters tall towered in the middle of the field.
The God of War wore sturdy armor made of chakra and held a chakra broadsword in its hand, resembling a demon god descending from myth.
The violent wind blades finally slammed against the Susanoo’s armor.
Clang!
Clang!
Clang!
A series of ear-piercing metallic collisions rang out, sparks flying in all directions.
However, before the Susanoo’s defense, ninjutsu of this level was a complete joke.
Seeing this, all the ninjas present held their breath.
Is this the true power of the Uchiha?
With this god-like posture, even if a hundred ordinary ninjas charged up, they would just be marching to their deaths.
“Danzo Shimura.”
“Is this all you’ve got?”
Fugaku Uchiha stood inside the Susanoo.
His voice, amplified by chakra, made everyone’s eardrums throb with pain.
Danzo’s face turned ash-gray.
He understood that conventional ninjutsu had no effect on this monster.
To break through the Susanoo’s defense, he had to use even stronger power.
In the next instant, Danzo suddenly raised his left hand.
He grabbed the bandage wrapped around his right eye and yanked it hard.
Rrip!
The blood-stained bandage drifted down with the wind.
Everyone’s eyes widened once again.
Danzo’s right eye, which had always been tightly closed, was now wide open.
That was not a normal human eye at all.
It was a Sharingan that likewise displayed a complex pattern!
Dark red chakra seeped from the eye socket, carrying a thick, ominous aura.
“That old beast!”
“He actually has another Sharingan!”
“Mangekyo! It’s another Mangekyo!”
The crowd exploded into chaos once more.
This time, even the ninjas of the Hyuga clan couldn’t help but curse out loud.
Ordinary clan members might not understand, but the clan leaders of every major family knew crystal clear in their hearts.
The Sharingan could only be awakened by the Uchiha clan.
Not only had Danzo stolen someone else’s eye, but it was a Mangekyo!
This kind of behavior had already violated the absolute taboo of all shinobi clans.
“Fugaku.”
“Did you think you were the only one who possessed these eyes?”
“I have prepared for a long time for today!”
As for the curses around him, Danzo was completely deaf to them, only sneering as he looked at Fugaku Uchiha.
Then, he pointed at his right eye.
“Look clearly!”
“This is the eye of a genius of your Uchiha clan—Kagami Uchiha!”
“Today, I will use the power of your ancestor to personally send you on your way!”
When those words came out, in the area where the Uchiha were gathered, Shisui Uchiha felt as if he had been struck by five bolts of thunder.
His entire body froze on the spot, his mind going completely blank.
Grandpa?
That’s…
Grandpa’s eye?
Shisui had been instilled with the Will of Fire since childhood.
He had always believed that his grandfather died heroically on the battlefield to protect the village.
That was the glory he took the utmost pride in, the driving force behind his desperate desire to protect this village.
But now…
the elder who kept claiming it was all for Konoha…
was actually boasting in front of everyone about the eye he had gouged out of his grandfather’s socket!
Shisui felt the world spinning around him.
What Will of Fire?
What bond between the village and the clan?
It was all absolute bullsh*t!
It was all lies used by the high command to brainwash and exploit them!
Shisui’s knees went weak, and with a thud, he fell to his knees on the ground, his fingers digging frantically into the dirt.
Nails snapped…
blood flowed…
yet he couldn’t feel a single shred of pain.
In his eye sockets, the three tomoe spun madly as two lines of blood-tears slid down silently.
In the center of the field, Fugaku Uchiha saw that eye.
A towering rage completely obliterated his last shred of sanity.
“Danzo!”
“I will tear you into ten thousand pieces!”
Fugaku Uchiha roared.
The Susanoo raised its dozens-of-meters-long chakra broadsword and brought it down heavily upon Danzo’s head.
Before the blade even landed, the terrifying sword pressure had already carved a massive fissure into the ground.
“Don’t look down on me!”
Danzo neither dodged nor hid.
He madly pushed the dōjutsu of his right eye.
An eerie fluctuation of chakra erupted in an instant.
An invisible mental shock pierced straight toward Fugaku’s brain.
He wanted to use the Mangekyo’s genjutsu to directly control Fugaku into dispelling the Susanoo.
If it were an ordinary Uchiha, this move might have actually worked.
Unfortunately, Danzo was facing the Uchiha clan head who also possessed the Mangekyo.
What was even more fatal was that Danzo’s Mokuton arm had already been torn off by Chiba.
The current Danzo had no Hashirama cells left in his body and couldn’t withstand the massive backlash of the Mangekyo.
The moment he activated the dōjutsu, a tearing, excruciating pain shot through Danzo’s right eye.
Fugaku Uchiha scoffed coldly.
His immense ocular power crushed forward without reservation.
Two invisible mental forces collided violently in midair.
After a stalemate of barely half a second, Danzo’s genjutsu was forcibly torn into countless fragments.
“Gah—!”
Suffering a severe backlash, Danzo spewed out a massive mouthful of blood once again.
The trump card he was so proud of was fragile and unable to withstand a single blow before the true Uchiha bloodline.
The instant his dōjutsu was broken, the Susanoo’s giant sword smashed down with world-destroying fury.
Rumble—!
A deafening explosion echoed.
The earth trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck.
Countless rocks mixed with dirt flew outwards in all directions like cannonballs.
Dust soared into the sky, blotting out the sun.
The surrounding ninjas cast ninjutsu one after another to block the debris.
Yet even so, they were still forced back several dozen meters by the terrifying shockwave.
A full dozen-plus seconds passed before the gust of wind slowly blew away the dust.
Everyone poked their heads out to look toward the center of the field.
The originally flat ground had been smashed into a deep crater over ten meters deep.
At the bottom of the crater, Danzo lay there like a heap of mud.
His entire skeleton was shattered, and more than half of his body had been pounded into minced flesh.
On the other side, Fugaku Uchiha dispelled the Susanoo.
Although the Mangekyo was powerful, its consumption was equally terrifying.
At this moment, Fugaku Uchiha’s vision was already somewhat blurry.
However, holding on through sheer willpower, he slid down the crater wall and walked over to Danzo.
“Old beast.”
“Hand over Senior Kagami’s eye.”
Fugaku Uchiha’s eyes were icy, without a trace of pity.
He bent straight down, preparing to reach out and pry out Danzo’s right eye.
Right at this moment, Danzo, who was already on the verge of breathing his last, suddenly opened both eyes.
His pupils began to dilate, yet a madness stretched across the corners of his mouth into an extremely wild smile.
“Fugaku…”
“Come to hell… with me!”
Danzo’s voice was very faint, yet filled with endless malice.
Along with those words, dense black formula runes surfaced from Danzo’s heart area.
Like living creatures, these runes instantly covered his entire body at a terrifying speed and spread outward to the surroundings.
Reverse Four Symbols Seal!
This was the final resort Danzo had prepared for himself.
Once activated, all the caster’s blood turned into ink, forming a black spherical space.
Everything within that spherical space would be dragged into a sealed realm of death, permanently sealed.
Fugaku Uchiha wanted to retreat, but he was too close!
The black runes had already climbed onto the soles of his shoes!
The power of the seal bound his every movement!
It’s over!
Fugaku Uchiha’s pupils shrank violently.
He never expected that someone as greedy and afraid of death as Danzo would actually have a move meant for mutual destruction!
Bang!
Right at this critical juncture, the ground split open without warning.
A Mokuton tree root as thick as an arm burst through the soil.
Like an azure dragon leaping from the sea, it precisely wrapped around Fugaku Uchiha’s waist.
Swish—!
The tree root retracted violently, flinging Fugaku Uchiha straight out, where he finally landed beside Chiba’s feet.
Almost at the exact same moment, a dense burst of black light erupted at the bottom of the deep crater.
A massive black sphere expanded in an instant.
It swallowed Danzo’s corpse, the surrounding soil, shattered rocks, and even the air completely whole.
Immediately after, the black sphere rapidly contracted into a tiny black dot, and finally went completely still.
Inside the deep crater, there was nothing left at all.
