Starting with the usurpation of Akatsuki, the ninja world was overthrown.

Chapter 89 The Thrill of Dancing

Chapter 89 The Thrill of Dancing

What Uchiha Shisui really wanted to ask was how Aizen, one of Hanzo's subordinates, was doing.

However, in this timeline, he was much smarter and knew that he couldn't expose all his information to Danzo, so he asked in a subtle and roundabout way.

Unexpectedly, this caused Danzo a great deal of trouble.

Danzo, who had just returned injured, was already full of resentment, and this time he exploded, jumping around wildly on Uchiha Shisui's trigger points.

"Hanzo? Ha! That piece of trash! A demigod was defeated so easily!"

That incompetent old man caused me to be seriously injured. He is not worthy of being an ally of Konoha!

What else could he do? He's dead, of course! And his entire army of Rain Ninja must have been wiped out, right? They're probably all killed by now.

Hahaha! They're all trash, they deserve it!!

Upon hearing "the entire army was wiped out" and "they were all killed," Uchiha Shisui's breathing suddenly became heavy.

The three tomoe in his pupils spun wildly, faster and faster!

When the newly recruited Root subordinates around Danzo let out terrified screams, Danzo finally realized something was wrong and quickly shut his mouth.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

In the original story, Uchiha Shisui, who had always been submissive and never took the initiative to attack Danzo, suddenly issued a death declaration, word by word.

"Danzo, you deserve to die!"

At that moment, the three tomoe in Uchiha Shisui's pupils finally stopped spinning and completely merged into a single pattern!

Kaleidoscope, an eye-opener!

The next moment, a huge, emerald-green half-body phantom rose from the ground, enveloping Uchiha Shisui within it.

"What is that?"

Poor Danzo managed to gather a few subordinates after escaping the Land of Rain, but as soon as he uttered a desperate question, they all went to the Pure Land.

The emerald green half-body Susanoo reached out and beckoned, and a spiral sword that looked like an extended drill bit immediately fell into its hand.

(Susanoo's Rasengan)

With a single thrust of the sword, the spiraling blade spun wildly, sucking in all the Root ninjas who were trying to escape.

Then the spiral sword swept horizontally along the ground, drawing an arc, shredding all the root ninjas that had been attached to it, and spreading the shreds evenly on the ground, creating a blood-red fan shape.

Danzo was utterly horrified.

He never expected that the Uchiha who had been at his mercy in the past would now dare to bare his fangs at him!

To make matters worse, he had lost his right arm and could no longer perform hand seals.

Despite the mysterious man named Black Zetsu whom he had met on the road promising to reattach his arm and even give him Wood Release techniques.

But those are all just promises now, and haven't been fulfilled yet.

So at this moment, he could only dodge left and right in a disheveled manner, swinging out his large shuriken.

In the end, he had no choice but to do the same amazing feat as in the original story: he stabbed Susanoo with a kunai!

Unfortunately, despite all that effort, the damage was only 2.5.

Standing at the feet of Uchiha Shisui, who was inside the Susanoo skeleton, he did not move an inch. He only turned his head and glanced at Danzo, which frightened the other party into quickly ducking and jumping back.

But the next moment, Danzo caught a glimpse of his surroundings and realized that steel wires had been wrapped around his waist and legs.

Uchiha Shisui bit the end of the wire with his mouth and quickly formed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Dragon Fire Technique!"

The flames burned all the way along the steel wire toward Danzo!

"Aaaaaah!"

Amidst the flames, Danzo screamed in agony, each cry filled with anguish.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, a special three-pronged kunai flew in and cut the steel wire, saving Danzo's life.

Minato Namikaze then appeared, teleporting onto the kunai and offering his advice.

"Shisui, you can't keep making this mistake! Danzo is, after all, an elder of the village!"

As the highest-ranking commander on the front lines, he naturally had an obligation to prevent such tragedies of internal strife.

But when he arrived, he subconsciously glanced back and couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

He was only about two seconds late this time, but several Root ninjas had already been killed behind him.

Elder Danzo was also severely burned and on the verge of death, looking even more miserable than when he had just returned from the Land of Rain.

Minato Namikaze felt both guilty and sad.

As if it were the fate of a speedster, despite possessing the most advanced mobility in the ninja world, he would always be a moment late, missing crucial opportunities.

"Stop, Shisui," he said, looking at Uchiha Shisui again.

To show his sincerity, he also dropped a bombshell.

"Next, I will represent Konoha to talk to the Akatsuki organization. If there's anything you want to know, I can ask them for you."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Shisui, who had been in a berserk state, finally calmed down and dispelled the Susanoo on his body.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Minato-senpai. I will go back to the village and accept my punishment for what happened today."

Shisui's words made Minato Namikaze feel uncomfortable again.

At this moment, Minato had secretly made up his mind to do everything he could to protect this Uchiha boy.

Because he could see that Shisui still had feelings for the village. Moreover, Shisui was not the only one who was dissatisfied with Elder Danzo who caused trouble.

In the original work, the Rain Country Incident broke out after the Battle of Kannabi Bridge. At that time, the overall war situation in Konoha was optimistic and stable, so Danzo's reckless behavior could be tolerated and suppressed.

But Konoha is currently in its most difficult moment, and even the slightest mistake by anyone is triggering everyone's nerves, not to mention that Danzo has caused such a huge mess this time!

The more Shiba Kiyokawa stirred up trouble, the more precarious Danzo's situation became.

The following morning, the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, who was waiting in Konoha Village, finally got to see his long-awaited old friend, Danzo.

To his surprise, Danzo was not brought back upright, but rather wrapped in bandages like a dumpling and carried back lying down.

"What's going on? What's wrong with Danzo?" Koharu Utatane, the advisor who had come along, quickly stepped forward to ask.

The accompanying medical ninja answered in detail: "Elder Danzo is seriously injured. He has lost his right arm and his eyes have been burned out. In the best-case scenario, he will need to be treated for three months before he can get out of bed."

The two advisors exchanged a glance, both feeling a sense of shared sorrow.

Koharu Utatane then asked, "Who injured Danzo like this? The previous intelligence didn't say he was already like this!"

The medical ninja continued, "It's Uchiha Shisui."

Upon hearing that it was the Uchiha clan, Koharu immediately triggered her emergency response line, "Those inherently evil ones—"

Before he could finish speaking, the medical ninja interrupted, "Frontline Commander Minato Namikaze has decided to pardon him."

At that moment, both advisors were speechless, and then they both turned their gazes to Hiruzen Sarutobi, as if silently questioning: Is this the successor you chose?

Hiruzen Sarutobi took a deep drag on his pipe, but this time he remained unusually silent.

He thought far more deeply than the two short-sighted advisors and elders beside him.

He was beginning to realize that because of Danzo's reckless actions, his position as Hokage was likely to be short-lived...
