Chapter 67: My sharingan?!

In summary, Danzo, blinded by rage tried to attack Fugaku and almost got caught by several paper bombs the Patriarch had hidden up his sleeves.

Itachi noticed and stabbed him in the heart before he could muster the energy to set them off.

Itachi whispered in his ear, " Father, rest assured. I will... take care of Sasuke."

His now blind father didn't say anything.

Perhaps, he didn't know how to respond or his chakra and vitality had been overdrawn, he didn't have enough strength left to speak.

He muttered so quietly, Itachi almost missed it.

"This... was your choice. Itachi... don't you see what Konoha did to us...cough, cough!...Oh well, I guess I'll be watching from the pure land... your ending will be..."

The last words of Fugaku Uchiha went unspoken.

Neither Hiruzen or Danzo stopped the father from speaking to his child.

The former because he wanted to respect Itachi's boundaries, as he still had to rely on him to investigate this mysterious organisation that had shown up in recent years.

And for the latter, it was because he was feeling desperate.

He ordered his surviving subordinates to retrieve the sharingan from the rest of the Uchiha.

Itachi twisted his Mangekyo sharingan towards the four man group of elders and said,

"I've already stated my request. You better protect Sasuke."

He thought back to the encounter with Hachiro previously and his tone got colder.

"More people will be aiming for him as the last Uchiha."

People from the Cloud had managed to waltz in and take a large portion of his clansmen sharingan.

"If you fail to keep Sasuke–"

The elders understood what he was implying, though they took pleasure in killing their own people they were not outright idiots.

In a way, Itachi's words were reasonable so they avoided stimulating him with words.

"Don't worry Itachi, we will take care of your younger brother."

Hiruzen agreed and continued,

"About that Akatsuki organisation–"

"Where are my Sharingan!? You fools there is no way that is all of them!"

A roar came from danzo as he attracted the attention of everyone present.

"Danzo, are you crazy?"

Hiruzen frowned and murmured.

Danzo despite hearing his superior was so angry he ignored him.

He shouted with so much anger and hatred, it seemed as if he found out the son he had been raising for decades wasn't actually his.

"Ten?! Just ten!? Damn it! Who took the sharingan from the damn Uchiha's corpses!?"

The other elders came over to check.

They noticed that a large portion of corpses belonging to those from the Uchiha clan had their stolen.

"How? Where did their eyes go?"

Homura said in disbelief.

A Jonin from Root knelt on one knee and reported,

"Lord Danzo, we have inspected the corpses of the Uchiha clan... but most of their sharingan have been took out."

"Who was it?! Who did it!?"

Danzo roared like a lion with a vicious expression.

His emotionless dogs trembled slightly, but no one have him an answer.

"I already told you, the massacrue has attracted the attention of other people. Be careful with Sasuke."

Uchiha Itachi said dully,

"Itachi, who was it?!"

Danzo's left eye was bloodshot as tried to question the raven haired shinobi.

Solely for the reason of acquiring more Sharingan tonight, he had promised to carry to blame for the genocide.

However, now, he was in the dark and didn't get what wanted.

He personally believed he had a right to get angry.

Itachi used the Body Flicker Technique and leapt on top of a pole.

"I have fulfilled my promise, now it's your turn to satisfy yours."

His figure began to twist as the moon took on a bloody hue.

"From today onward, all those who are apart of the Root foundation, will cease their current duties and tasks and retire. The reasoning behind said dissolution of the Root Foundation is because of the poor and disappointing security measures displayed during the Uchiha clan's massacre."

Hiruzen gave out a command before putting his hands behind his back and returning to his office leading a portion of the Anbu that remained uninjured.

The reason he agreed to destroy to Uchiha clan was so that he could get an opportunity to cripple Danzo's organisation that was out of his control.

Now, that the sharingan of the disease had disappeared off to who knows where, he didn't need to worry about one of his crazy experiments suddenly granting him a power greater than the first Hokage.

Although, he wasn't certain who had stole the sharingan, he could think about it later.

His old face showed a smirk,

He had killed two birds with one stone, destroying the Uchiha and weakening Danzo.

Haha! I should really thank whoever stole them now that I think about it.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

As if injected with stimulants, the old and cunning Danzo admitted defeat with one lost howl of anger.

Today, he lost the chance at a Mangekyo sharingan, hundreds of weaker tomoe sharingan and the privileges belonging to his Root organisation.

"WHY DOES GOD HATE ME! EVERYTHING I DO IS FOR TRUE PEACE!"
