"Is there no one else?"
"You won't be able to defeat the Uchiha with just this much."
Shisui held the Shuusui, looking at Danzo with his blood-red eyes.
All of Danzo's subordinates had been killed by him!
The intensive training at sea had strengthened his physique, making his Body Flicker Technique even faster.
Coupled with the Shuusui wrapped in Armament Haki, as long as he got close, one slash was enough to cut down anyone. They would either be dismembered or lose limbs.
Combined with his Mangekyo Sharingan, which could see through Ninjutsu, these people couldn't fool Shisui at all.
Within a mere three minutes, the Root's elites were annihilated once again.
A group had died during the Uchiha's escape last time, and those who died now were newly trained subordinates. Danzo had very few Ninja left to use.
"As expected of Mirror's descendant, you must be only 17 years old now, yet you possess such strength."
"The Uchiha are indeed a dangerous clan; it's easy for them to produce individuals who lose control. If you could have followed the Will of Fire, perhaps you would have become the Fifth Generation Hokage."
Danzo began to try and deceive him.
In truth, he was somewhat flustered. His real body hadn't been discovered yet and was hidden, but it was still within the Root's base.
In his opinion, there was only one way to defeat Uchiha Shisui: a sneak attack!
If he could succeed in a sneak attack, then he would have a chance. If he failed, Shisui's Body Flicker Technique alone would make him invincible.
"I will find your real body; you can't escape!"
Shisui didn't waste time. As soon as he finished speaking, his Shuusui had already pierced Danzo's abdomen.
This Shadow Clone directly vanished into smoke, and Shisui also began to move rapidly within the Root's base, using his Mangekyo to search for any life form with Chakra.
He wouldn't let a single one go!
After Hiruzen Sarutobi's death, Uchiha Tamahiko also began to clear the area.
He sent out new Shadow Clones to deal with those who resisted, one by one.
The Ino–Shika–Chō trio were directly defeated due to the addition of Uchiha Fugaku, almost all of them severely injured. Fugaku personally captured them alive.
Other smaller clans like the Aburame were handled by Fugaku. If they resisted strongly, they were immediately eliminated.
However, most of the clan heads were quite clear-headed and hadn't been deeply poisoned by the Will of Fire. Seeing that they couldn't win, they surrendered one after another.
The main reason was that they felt the overwhelming strength of the Uchiha Clan, leaving no possibility of resistance.
Moreover, they thought it was at most a coup d'état, and they could accept a different person becoming Hokage.
"Kakashi, I didn't expect you to be here."
Uchiha Tamahiko looked at Kakashi, who was imprisoned, bound by iron chains, and had a sealing scroll covering his head. He was somewhat surprised, but also felt it was quite normal.
That he ended up like this must have something to do with himself.
"Tamahiko, you're back!!"
Hearing Uchiha Tamahiko's voice, Kakashi was startled.
He had felt two immense pressures earlier, making him think Konoha was going to act against him.
After all, he couldn't see now, couldn't form hand signs, and his Chakra was sealed. Besides his hearing and smell, his other senses couldn't perceive the outside world at all.
"Clang"
The prison bars were cut open by Uchiha Tamahiko using Chidori and fell to the ground.
Then Uchiha Tamahiko used his Sharingan to analyze the sealing jutsu and began to unseal Kakashi.
The first seal to be removed was the scroll seal on his head, which took two minutes.
Kakashi quickly regained his sight, looking at Uchiha Tamahiko with a complex expression.
"I talked too much nonsense when I ran, which got you into trouble. Now I'm letting you out to cancel that out."
Uchiha Tamahiko said to Kakashi while continuing to undo the seals.
"Did you come specifically to save me?"
"It's very dangerous, hurry and leave!"
Kakashi was truly moved.
"Who would specifically come to save you?"
"The Uchiha have returned, the Third Hokage is dead, and other resistances are gradually being dealt with. Konoha has returned to the hands of its founders."
Uchiha Tamahiko was surprised, then directly stated the truth.
However, this truth didn't make Kakashi feel embarrassed; instead, it made him show a look of disbelief.
"Alright, you're free. If you want to protect Konoha, then I'll kill you now and send you to meet Rin."
Uchiha Tamahiko said very directly.
Friendship is friendship, but if he causes trouble, there's nothing to discuss; he'll just die.
"Are the Uchiha going to be the new Hokage?"
Kakashi thought it was a coup.
He no longer had any intention of protecting the Third Hokage or anything like that.
If it weren't for his reputation in Konoha and the support he received from many in Anbu, his Sharingan would probably have been dug out by Danzo.
At the same time, Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't want his reputation to be damaged, nor did he want Danzo's strength to increase. After all, he clearly remembered what Uchiha Tamahiko said about Danzo coveting his position and using the first hokage cells.
So Kakashi was imprisoned, under the pretext of suspicion of colluding with the Uchiha, treating Kakashi's visit to the Uchiha Clan compound that day to investigate as Kakashi going to inform.
But there was no evidence to prove Kakashi did it, nor was there any evidence to prove Kakashi's innocence.
Might Guy's testimony was rejected because he was a friend, so Kakashi remained imprisoned and could not be released.
"No, it's a complete change. The concept of Konoha Ninja Village will disappear starting tomorrow."
"We need manpower now. If you're willing to help, that's best. If not, then hurry up and leave; don't waste my time."
Uchiha Tamahiko said indifferently.
Continue to work for the Land of Fire as a Ninja Village?
The Uchiha had no such intention!
There were so many resources at sea, enough to support ten Uchiha without a problem.
Kakashi was stunned; he didn't quite understand what Uchiha Tamahiko was saying.
However, Uchiha Tamahiko didn't continue reminiscing with Kakashi, but instead continued to sweep through Konoha, clearing out dangers one by one.
The Sarutobi Clan, the Shimura Clan, and the families of Utatane Koharu and Homura Mitokado—Uchiha Tamahiko didn't spare a single person. If he was going to do it, he would do it thoroughly.
Around noon, Uchiha Tamahiko had Itachi bring the clan members back.
Upon returning to this familiar land, many members of the Uchiha Clan shed tears, as the vast majority of this generation had grown up in Konoha.
However, Konoha was somewhat dilapidated at this time. Although there were some restrictions, there were still many damaged areas.
For example, there were many craters on the Hokage Rock, all caused by Hiruzen Sarutobi using Ninjutsu to attack Uchiha Tamahiko.
Vinsmoke Judge and Rob Lucci, and other people from the sea, were truly captivated when they arrived in Konoha, observing this new world all around them.
Meanwhile, Shisui also returned, carrying Danzo's head, with almost no visible injuries on his body.
Seeing his clan members return to Konoha, a smile also appeared on his face.
Konoha gradually returned to calm. Many people woke up in fear and unease, not knowing what had happened.
Uchiha Tamahiko also went through all the dangers that needed to be eliminated in the Village, and after confirming that there were no problems, he called a meeting of the surrendered clan leaders to discuss Konoha's future path.
He had originally thought about a demolition, like Tendō, and then rebuilding it directly.
But he found it too troublesome, and there were indeed many valuable things in Konoha. Resources were still more important.
