"Itachi, in the end you still chose to betray the Hidden Leaf Village?"
Shimura Danzō's eyes turned cold as he stared straight at Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi neither confirmed nor denied it. Standing beside him, Uchiha Sasuke turned his head to glance at Itachi.
Shimura Danzō tightened his grip on his cane with his left hand. The bandages on his arm fell away, revealing ten Sharingan on his right arm once more. After his previous battle with Uchiha Sasuke, he had lost eight Sharingan.
But on the night of the Uchiha clan massacre, he had seized far more than just ten. So after returning to the Hidden Leaf Village last time, he had immediately transplanted eight more Sharingan.
Seeing the Sharingan on Danzō's right arm, both Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi's gazes gradually turned icy.
The surrounding temperature seemed to drop instantly. Suddenly, twenty Root Organization ninjas appeared in front of Shimura Danzō.
"Lord Danzō, leave this to us!" one of the leading ninjas shouted.
As soon as his words fell, the twenty ninjas formed a variety of hand seals and unleashed numerous ninjutsu toward the Uchiha brothers.
In response, Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi nimbly dodged the attacks. Uchiha Itachi quickly formed hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Flame Ball!
Boom! Boom!
The massive fireball spewed from Uchiha Itachi's mouth collided with the enemy's various ninjutsu, instantly filling the area with smoke and dust.
When the smoke cleared, everyone realized that Uchiha Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi were completely unharmed.
But soon, two shuriken flew toward them—it was Shimura Danzō controlling two Wind Release shuriken.
Uchiha Sasuke drew the Kusanagi Sword with his right hand, infused it with lightning chakra, and slashed with Chidori Blade.
Clang!
Sparks flew. Uchiha Sasuke stared coldly at Shimura Danzō and waved his left hand.
Numerous Chidori Senbon shot toward Shimura Danzō, forcing him to dodge in all directions.
Meanwhile, the remaining Root Organization members regrouped and launched another wave of attacks at Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Itachi narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking to himself: Looks like I'll have to deal with them first.
Uchiha Itachi activated his ocular power and locked onto two Root members.
Amaterasu!
In an instant, black flames ignited on the two ninjas. Meanwhile, Shimura Danzō, who had been dodging the Chidori Senbon, steadied himself and spoke.
"Amaterasu… it's been a long time."
Soon, the two ninjas collapsed. Seeing this, the remaining Root members became wary.
Uchiha Itachi appeared beside Uchiha Sasuke and glanced at him.
"Sasuke, I'll handle the others. You go deal with Danzō!"
Uchiha Sasuke nodded slightly. Behind him, a purple Susanoo manifested—this time, it was already in its third form.
Uchiha Itachi also raised his orange-red chakra, manifesting his own third-stage Susanoo.
"So it's come… Susanoo. Compared to the last one I encountered, its presence feels even more overwhelming," Shimura Danzō muttered.
Shimura Danzō slowly bit his finger and formed hand seals.
Summoning Technique!
The Baku appeared as Shimura Danzō charged toward Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke controlled Susanoo to smash down at Shimura Danzō. Danzō leapt upward, dodging the attack, and while midair, formed hand seals.
Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere!
The high-pressure wind sphere shot from Danzō's mouth toward Uchiha Sasuke, but his Susanoo blocked it. As if expecting this, Danzō glanced at the Baku.
The Baku opened its mouth, generating a powerful suction force around Uchiha Sasuke. Sasuke raised his right hand to shield his eyes, but his feet were involuntarily dragged forward.
On the other side, Uchiha Itachi, controlling Susanoo in a ruthless onslaught, cast a worried glance at Sasuke before turning back, his gaze growing even sharper.
Feeling his body gradually slipping out of his control, Uchiha Sasuke frowned.
At that moment, Shimura Danzō suddenly appeared behind Sasuke and formed hand seals.
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!
The vacuum wave struck the Susanoo on Sasuke's back. Sasuke grimaced and glanced back at Danzō rushing toward him.
Uchiha Sasuke quickly formed hand seals.
Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!
A massive fireball shot straight into the Baku's mouth. The creature recoiled in pain and stopped its suction.
Regaining his freedom, Uchiha Sasuke curled his lips slightly and controlled Susanoo to hurl a massive rock at Shimura Danzō. Danzō looked startled, but having been too close to Sasuke—
He was struck head-on. One of the Sharingan on his arm slowly closed as his body reappeared.
"One," Uchiha Sasuke said calmly, staring at Shimura Danzō with killing intent.
Seeing that Sasuke had escaped danger, Uchiha Itachi let out a breath of relief and turned to attack the remaining ten Root members.
Uchiha Sasuke raised his hand and swung toward Shimura Danzō.
Chidori Sharp Spear!
After dodging, Shimura Danzō steadied himself again, only to look up and see Uchiha Sasuke already beside him.
Chidori!
The Chidori in Sasuke's hand pierced through Danzō's body.
"Second!"
After the second Sharingan in Danzō's arm closed and he revived again, a purple Fūma Shuriken energy construct appeared in Susanoo's right hand.
Whoosh!
Susanoo hurled the Fūma Shuriken toward Shimura Danzō. Danzō slowly raised his head and said calmly,
"No time left, huh? In that case…"
His left arm began to swell.
Wood Release!
A massive tree burst out from his left arm, standing in front of him to block the Fūma Shuriken.
Bang!
The Fūma Shuriken pierced through the trunk and continued toward Danzō's original position. He had just enough time to react and prepared to leap away—but suddenly noticed something strange.
The Fūma Shuriken split into hundreds of identical chakra clones, all flying toward him at once.
Slash! Slash! Slash!
Although Shimura Danzō dodged more than a dozen, he couldn't withstand the sheer number. Soon, another Sharingan on his arm closed.
Reviving again, Danzō looked up at the sky, frowning once more as the Fūma Shuriken flew toward him again.
Under Uchiha Sasuke's control, the Fūma Shuriken relentlessly pursued Shimura Danzō—killing him, then striking again the moment he reappeared.
"Third… fourth… fifth…" Uchiha Sasuke counted calmly.
On the other side, having already eliminated all the Root members, Uchiha Itachi appeared beside Uchiha Sasuke.
The two of them coldly watched as Shimura Danzō was trapped in a cycle of revival and death.
