Soon, a huge fire began to spread outward from her like she was a devil that came from hell itself. In no time, the ground beneath her became a raging inferno, eating away remaining shinobi and everything in their path.
It didn't take much time for flame to spread throughout the underground facility, as those root shinobi didn't even have a chance to cry before burning alive as the whole place turned to carnage.
Using the tapir Baku, who was just a helpless summon for coverage, Danzo looked at the flame storm in front of him with hatred that almost manifested in his eyes. He started to weave hand signs for consecutive Izanagi while Baku's wind kept shielding him from her fierce fire, that his subordinates got eaten alive.
As Danzo got all panicked, Itsuho just clutched the wound on her stomach as she turned her head in his direction while she kept focusing on destroying the place and killing those root shinobi with her melting flame.
"One minute", she softly said as a smiled appeard on her lips.
"What!!" Danzo raged as he understood that she was mocking him despite smiling at him 'politely'.
"Pathetic old thing. One three-tomoe Sharingan for one minute. The clan had over two hundred members who had those. Just for four hundred minutes." She gently touched a kunai that aimed at her as it melted down to the floor like a liquid as some of it vaporised.
"That's all the time you can buy" She felt the rage, shame, envy, hatred, and helplessness from him while he kept hiding behind the tapir who try to use wind to defend him and itself but it only kept few meters of radius as the wind out side of it keep consumed by her fire.
"That just hardly can compare to what a true heir of Sharingan can buy with one Izanagi." She gently strikes a shinobi as he instantly dies like the others, as the whole place keeps smelling like the burning smell of flesh that is enough to make someone watching feel their stomach churn.
"You damn devil!!" Danzo roared as he touched the floor, as a complicated ink pattern started to appear under her feet, unknown to her, as it is the only thing he can do to save himself as he witnessed his subordinates keep dying.
"Yes, I am a devil" She took a step forward. "You know the devils are the masters of death. I am already living true to that title," she laughed self depriving way for a moment.
"No matter what, I never died while I was alive, and here you are, a pathetic old thing who fears death more than anything else"
As she took a step forward again, the air around her started to explode as she was covered with blue light, keeping crushing Danzo's hope along with the ink pattern on the magma.
As the blue light touched the tapir, it screamed gut-wrenchingly. Before it even canceled the summon, it died from the insane temperature, as Danzo was still forced to run as Izanagi time ran out.
Itsuho isn't in better condition either. As if it was a backlash from what she used, her skin soon started to turn into ash as she made a Ram seal.
The ground kept igniting, along with explosions that came one after another, covering the whole underground facility from those fire seals she placed earlier as well as her own deadly blue flame mixing up with one another; the whole place became a burning furnace.
She sighed, knowing Danzo would be able to slip away as she calculated the Izanagi time and how much longer she could last longer and it was already within her expectations, as she needed him to guard the village from outside threats before she got to summon from that forbidden technique.
"It seems it isn't my time to give you a real taste of death" She felt her body burning into nothing as her legs were the first to give in, even with her newly regenerative speed.
"But remember, I will always wait, even as a ghost, to strike you at the right moment when you feel that you got what you wanted"
She tried to feel around as she smiled for the last time. It wasn't the empty or mirthless one she had most of the time. It was a genuine smile that was filled with resignation as it burned to nothing by the blue flame that originated from her.
Danzo turned around as he sighed in relief, as he could sense she wouldn't be able to reach him to kill him anymore, but hearing those words, Danzo felt fear that he felt the same way as that time in the Land of Rain, just by hearing her words.
He soon reached the entrance, followed by an explosion, as the Hokage Anbu was already there to investigate, but the explosion soon intensified as the fire was alive and saying that the origin of the deadly yet beautiful fire is already dead.
Knowing that Danzo who in invisible state because of Izanagi walk away letting go of those gathered hatred he had for the devil of a Uchiha as she is already dead as well as he had to cover the traces of sin in his arms without even getting noticed.
The whole place became a puddle of magma that exploded again and again that couldn't be stopped even with the elites' water style jutsu, revealing it to the outside as everyone on the surface was alarmed as they started to see the surface of the misdeeds that Danzo had done. But unfortunately for them, there wasn't any evidence remaining there.
At the time goes, everyone started to get wind of what happened as the rumours started to spread throughout, making Danzo to get house arrested in the midst of countless accusations.
Though many people didn't know what happened, Itachi immediately guessed after hearing the carnage of fire as he secretly clutched the vial that he was still keeping with him until the time come.
After the massacre, he joined an organisation named Akatsuki, as he felt the organisation was related to nine tails incidents years ago, since the one behind it was an individual who posed as Madara Uchiha. And that person happened to be the same person Itsuho warned about.
What made his blood run cold was the Zetsu who was in charge of spying told them about what really happened in the underground.
"Fire devil Itsuho", the individual with purple-ringed eyes said. "Itachi, your former village really has many talents. But this one is the most interesting among all of them"
"Itsuho Uchiha", the shark-faced man grinned. "Isn't that Shisui the teleporter's twin sister, the fire devil? I remember she is a war monger herself"
"Yes, she is", Itachi said indifferently, not wanting to discuss more than that. Knowing the last elder figure who truly guided him had left the world.
Unknown to them, the noisy newbie in the organization who was wearing an orange swirl pattern mask silently looked at the whole exchange as the right eye that revealed to the outside went vacant for a moment before regaining the usual indifference.
