Chapter 22: Uchiha Itachi

"Seize him!" Danzo pointed at Itsuki and barked at the surrounding people.

The people looked at each other.

Had Danzo gone mad?

Usually, they didn't obey him, let alone now.

They weren't Root ninjas.

Shikaku Nara slowly said, "Lord Danzo, the Hokage is coming. You should think about how to explain this to him."

"Indeed!"

Fugaku Uchiha said with a cold face, "We Uchiha also need an explanation. Why did Root ninjas attack a member of our clan?"

Damn it!

You still need an explanation?

Look at Uchiha Itsuki!

The way he looked down on me!

And you still want an explanation?

Danzo was about to go crazy, his face contorted as he said, "Do I need to explain to you Uchiha?"

"Hehe!"

Fugaku laughed.

His expression also became fierce, and three tomoe appeared in his eyes.

"Danzo, have I been too lenient with you?!"

An astonishing killing intent emanated from Fugaku.

He had a temper too.

The Uchiha ninjas around him also activated their Sharingan, staring coldly at Danzo.

Setsuna was the most excited, eager to attack directly.

"Hmph! Fugaku, do you also want to betray the village?"

Danzo snorted coldly. He looked down on the Uchiha, especially Fugaku. What could they do?

Did they have the guts to hit him?

He'd give them a few more guts!

The two sides confronted each other coldly.

One side was the high-ranking Uchiha led by Fugaku Uchiha.

The other side was Danzo, with only one Root ninja beside him.

Oh, and both of them still had flames on their bodies.

The surrounding people subconsciously gathered around Shikaku Nara, looking at him.

Shikaku Nara didn't even raise his head.

What were they looking at? There wouldn't be a fight!

If Uchiha Itsuki were still there, it would be hard to say.

But these two now, haha.

Fugaku Uchiha was known for his calmness and wouldn't easily start a conflict.

As for Danzo, this guy was jumping high, but unfortunately, he only had one Root ninja beside him. He must have a screw loose to provoke the Uchiha at this time.

"Stop!"

At this moment, an elderly figure rushed over and shouted, "Danzo, Fugaku, stop!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi appeared!

Under the protection of the Anbu, he arrived at the scene and briefly scanned the area.

The ruins made the corner of his eye twitch.

The blood-red color further stimulated his nerves.

He suddenly turned his head and fixed his gaze on Fugaku and Danzo.

"Are you crazy? Causing trouble at a time like this?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi roared.

God knows!

When he learned that there was a fight at the hospital, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Because of the Mangekyo Sharingan incident, Konoha was already very unstable, and a civil war could break out at any moment.

At this time, other villages had also recovered some of their strength. If a civil war broke out in Konoha, who could be sure if other villages would take the opportunity to attack?

As he got older, Hiruzen Sarutobi not only became indecisive but also more afraid of war.

"It wasn't them..."

Shikaku Nara came to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side and whispered, "It wasn't them fighting."

"Then who could it be?" Hiruzen Sarutobi said angrily, pointing at the two, "Besides them, is anyone else causing trouble here?"

Fugaku: "..."

Danzo: "..."

Everyone: "..."

He had a point!

Oh yeah!

It was clearly Uchiha Itsuki and Danzo fighting, how did it become Fugaku Uchiha versus Danzo?

Where was Itsuki?

Oh, he went to sleep!

Then it was fine.

Everyone fell silent, only Shikaku Nara kept talking beside Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's expression gradually became strange.

"Call Itsuki over... Forget it, don't call him, let him sleep!"

The Third Hokage waved his hand and pondered, "Everyone else disperse. Fugaku, Danzo, and Shikaku, come with me."

The ninjas looked at each other and left one after another.

...

Although he didn't have eyes, Itsuki walked steadily with his senses.

And...

"Sigh!"

Kurenai appeared, sighing helplessly, "I just went out to see someone off, how did a fight break out?"

"If you had stayed, I would have had to worry about your safety!"

Itsuki smiled and let Kurenai help him, and the two walked slowly.

"Can't I help you?"

Kurenai was a little unconvinced.

"Hehe!" Itsuki chuckled and said, "To deal with a few Jonin, why would I need you, a Chunin, to come forward? You think too highly of them."

Kurenai rolled her eyes.

It had to be said that being beautiful made everything look good.

"You're just leaving like this?"

"If I don't leave, what else is there to do?"

Itsuki said disinterestedly, "The rest is just bickering. Leave it to those old guys."

"Bickering?"

"What else?" Itsuki asked rhetorically, "Do you think it's the Hokage and the others who will eliminate the Uchiha, or the Uchiha who will eliminate Danzo? Since no one can touch each other now, what else can they do besides exchanging harsh words?"

There was one thing Itsuki didn't say.

After today's show of strength, he believed that things would be much quieter around him.

As for what others would think...

Hehe.

Think whatever you want!

Just don't show it in front of me, or I'll show you to death.

Kurenai was silent.

After a long time.

She finally said in a low voice, "You killed more than ten Root ninjas. They were all Konoha ninjas, and they died just like that."

She didn't sympathize with those Root ninjas.

It was just that...

More than ten elite ninjas, the weakest of whom were Special Jonin, died just like that, which was somewhat sad.

Itsuki said indifferently, "Danzo once said that ninjas are tools. But has he ever considered himself a tool? What about the Third Hokage? Is he a tool? Or is it that only others are tools?"

The two didn't continue talking, but like an ordinary couple, they returned to Kurenai's house.

Itsuki's house was completely destroyed and was being rebuilt. It would probably take three to five months before it was habitable.

"What are you going to do next?"

Kurenai asked curiously.

Itsuki smiled slightly and walked into Kurenai's bedroom.

On the bedside table, there was a scroll placed openly.

"What's this?"

Kurenai was stunned.

She didn't remember having this thing in her house!

Itsuki formed hand seals with both hands and shouted in a low voice, "Release!"

"Boom!"

In a puff of white smoke, the scroll opened, revealing what was inside.

A special glass container filled with liquid, soaking a pair of Sharingan!

"This, this is..."

"Sharingan!" Itsuki smiled, "I'm going to transplant a new pair of eyes for myself here."

Shisui's eyes!

The Mangekyo Sharingan of his blood-related brother, the Mangekyo Sharingan that could activate the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami!

"Now?" Kurenai asked in surprise, "The outside world is still not peaceful..."

"Yes, that's why now is the best opportunity!"

Itsuki smiled slightly and said, "Moreover, I have someone to protect me."

"Protect? Me?"

Kurenai was a little nervous and asked hesitantly, "Can I?"

Itsuki's answer came with a hint of a quick response, "Impossible! If it were you, I would probably die hundreds of times."

Kurenai: "..."

"Then who is it?"

Kurenai gritted her teeth.

"Probably me!"

A faint voice sounded.

A young man with unique tear troughs on his face appeared in the room.

Uchiha Itachi!
