Just like that, Danzō Shimura was pinned to the Hokage Rock—right beneath the visage of the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.
I don't know whether to call this a dream fulfilled or a nightmare brought to life…
At the sight, Tsunade and Jiraiya's expressions twisted in horror. They realized things had gone completely out of control and immediately tried to move in and stop Uchiha Kiyo. But before they could reach him, Uchiha Teru—now revealed as Uchiha Yun of the Immortal Organization—manipulated the colossal wooden construct to engage them in relentless combat, effectively stalling them.
Uchiha Kiyo activated his propulsion technique, levitating calmly above the battlefield.
His hands moved fluidly—forming hand seals with grace and precision.
"Qi Yuan Slash!"
Three ethereal spinning discs of energy materialized, glowing with fierce chakra. With a motion of his hand, Uchiha Kiyo sent them flying toward the Hokage Rock.
"Not good!" Tsunade and Jiraiya thought in unison, a deep sense of dread swelling in their hearts.
The chakra discs curved midair, each cutting through the stone surface of Hokage Rock.
"Qiang! Qiang! Qiang!…"
They sliced repeatedly, leaving behind numerous sharp gouges that, together, formed a single massive kanji:
"Sin" (罪)
Etched just above Danzō's impaled form and beneath the face of the Third Hokage.
To those with poor eyesight, it may have even looked like the word "Sin" referred to the Third Hokage himself. No one could say for sure whether Uchiha Kiyo had intended that…
Still alive at first, Danzō's eyes bulged when he saw the word. His fury surged—only to collapse in an instant. Overwhelmed by rage and humiliation, he died with blood pooling from his mouth.
The event unfolded so quickly that most onlookers stood frozen. Those who did attempt to act were stopped by the wooden colossus under Uchiha Yun's control. All they could do was watch helplessly.
Amid the spectacle, many missed a chilling detail—Uchiha Kiyo had nailed Danzō using an ice spear.
As Danzō took his final breath, Uchiha Kiyo wove another set of seals. The spear radiated an even colder aura, freezing Danzō's corpse from within. In mere seconds, ice consumed his entire body, turning him into a crystal-clear statue.
Then, Kiyo manipulated his chakra with delicate finesse, carving complex sealing runes directly onto the surface of the frozen sculpture.
This wasn't just a tribute to vengeance—it was a prison, a monument, a curse.
Unless someone could dismantle the intricate sealing formation, Danzō's ice-encased corpse would remain preserved for a hundred years—maybe even a thousand.
And more than that—Uchiha Kiyo had synchronized the seal with Konoha's Great Barrier Formation. Tampering with the sculpture would compromise the village's entire barrier defense system.
Kiyo planned to make that public knowledge, ensuring no one in Konoha dared interfere.
He did the same for the word "Sin," reinforcing it with protective barriers.
Standing above Hokage Rock, Kiyo gazed at the solemn, smiling face of Hiruzen Sarutobi and sneered.
"Hmph… dying in battle doesn't cleanse your sins. History will remember what you chose to ignore."
As for Danzō—he had long passed redemption. But the Third Hokage? Kiyo's contempt ran deeper.
"How could Danzō act without your silent approval? Without your protection? You called yourself a leader—yet allowed your closest ally to become a butcher."
Kiyo's voice echoed with rage.
"Where were the Anbu when the Uchiha clan was monitored, oppressed? Don't tell me they didn't know. No. The entire clan was under surveillance. And Danzō still managed to infiltrate, manipulate, and massacre. All under your watch."
"Damn you, Uchiha Yun!"
Tsunade and Jiraiya bellowed in unison.
Tsunade surged forward with a roar, her chakra exploding. She smashed her fist into the wooden colossus, blasting a gaping hole into its torso. Then, with a leap, she kicked off its body, launching herself skyward toward Uchiha Kiyo.
Kiyo merely smirked and phased aside, avoiding confrontation.
The mission was already complete.
Below, Uchiha Yun dismissed the wooden golem, joining Kiyo in midair. The two floated side by side.
"The Immortal Organization greets Konoha," Yun declared, his voice cold but mocking. "We are Uchiha Kiyo and Uchiha Yun."
With that, the two vanished into thin air.
Furious, Tsunade landed on the Hokage Rock and charged toward the carved word "Sin," determined to erase it.
This was her sensei—whatever his faults, she would not allow such disgrace to be engraved beneath his image.
But just as she approached, Kiyo's voice echoed once again.
"I wouldn't do that, Tsunade-hime. The seal is connected to the Konoha Barrier. Break it, and you cripple your own village's defense."
Tsunade halted abruptly, clenching her fists. Her rage made the entire rock tremble as she stomped violently.
"Damn it!"
Even Jiraiya, who had caught up by now, remained silent.
All of Konoha had witnessed the scene. Danzō, pinned beneath the Third Hokage's monument. The "Sin" character carved beside them. The symbolism was brutal and unmistakable.
In the crowd, someone cried out:
"It's Danzō!"
Gasps and murmurs followed—then, unexpectedly, a wave of applause.
The people weren't horrified. Many cheered.
Some even suggested that Danzō's long list of crimes be carved beside the kanji for "Sin," immortalizing his treachery for all to see.
Outside the Forest of Death, Orochimaru watched the spectacle unfold from a distance.
He said nothing.
Though the body of Uchiha Qing had once been under his experimentation, Orochimaru had deliberately undernourished him—wanting him weak, fragile, compliant. But now, the man floating above Konoha bore no resemblance to the skeletal figure from Orochimaru's labs.
It was when Uchiha Yun used Wood Release that Orochimaru connected the dots—Uchiha Qing must have obtained Hashirama cells.
Back in the village, the Immortal Organization had not left just yet. With Danzō dead, Uchiha Kiyo and Yun moved swiftly—heading directly for Root's hidden base.
No need to waste time searching like before. Kiyo had already looted Root's labs once in another timeline. This time, he knew exactly where to go.
He bypassed the maze-like corridors and headed straight to the vault—where dozens of Sharingan eyes were stored in jars.
Uchiha Kiyo hesitated for only a moment.
Then he took them all.
Meanwhile, Uchiha Yun was broadcasting the day's events to the world.
"Today, the Immortal Organization's Uchiha Kiyo and Uchiha Yun infiltrated Konoha, eliminated Root, slaughtered the elders, and executed Danzō under the watchful eyes of Tsunade and Jiraiya. They even carved 'Sin' beneath the monument of the Third Hokage."
The news spread like wildfire.
The shinobi world erupted in shock.
Some laughed—mocking Konoha for its humiliation. A high-ranking elder killed by his own village's outcasts, publicly humiliated.
Others were terrified of the Immortal Organization. Two Uchiha, both clearly at the Kage-level. And this was only what had been revealed so far.
Some cheered.
Danzō had tormented the five great villages for years. His black ops, assassinations, kidnappings—he was a villain known in every corner of the shinobi world. Even the Akatsuki's founding tragedy—Yahiko's death—could be traced back to him.
This day shook the shinobi world to its core.
In Konoha
Danzō's death triggered a cascade of leaked documents and witness testimonies. All his crimes came to light. And to the villagers' surprise, most of them didn't grieve—many celebrated.
Several ninjas stepped forward too. Entire clans had been scarred by Danzō's twisted policies—especially during recruitment seasons, where Root would kidnap children, brainwash them, and force them into service.
Unlike Uchiha Kiyo's previous timeline, this Root had grown in power following the manga canon. Many prominent clans had lost kin to Root's control.
Danzō's actions had long festered in the shadows. His recruits were often passed through Anbu first, then handed to Root, brainwashed, and assigned missions that pushed the limits of morality. Konoha's elite had turned a blind eye for decades.
The average villager didn't know the truth, but the shinobi clans did.
This was why so many cheered when Danzō was nailed to the Hokage Rock. And why the carved word "Sin" sent ripples of vindication through the clans.
Still, for the civilian population—things weren't so black and white.
To them, Hiruzen Sarutobi was a beloved elder, a kind face who had sacrificed himself for Konoha's safety.
Seeing "Sin" engraved beneath his visage felt wrong.
The debate began to shift.
Some questioned: "Did the Third really deserve that?"
But then, whispers surfaced—of Hiruzen's inaction. Of Danzō's atrocities being overlooked. Of Root's crimes committed with full knowledge of the Hokage.
Even a single confirmed point was damning:
Danzō acted with Hiruzen's permission.
Punishments, when given, were laughable. Slaps on the wrist.
Before Uchiha Kiyo could even act further, the conversation had already turned.
It seemed the Third Hokage had made more enemies than even he realized.
Back in their hideout, Uchiha Kiyo began to lay out the spoils of the day.
The real work had only just begun.
