Danzo is Dead? Sasuke's Doing?

["Stop, Sasuke!"]

[Seeing Sasuke holding a kunai, ready to stab Sakura, Kakashi's face changed. He shouted anxiously, his voice echoing across the battlefield.]

The entire ninja world was tense, watching the scene unfold.

"Why did Sakura hesitate?!"

"Oh no, is she an idiot?"

[At the last second, a blond-haired figure appeared, pulling Sakura out of harm's way. The kunai still grazed his face, leaving a shallow cut. The boy turned, glaring at Sasuke with fierce determination. His youthful face bore six distinct whisker marks—it was Uzumaki Naruto.]

[In a Flower Shop in Konoha]

Ino, tying on her apron, sighed in relief. "Phew… Sakura's okay. That was too close!"

Sakura's parents, watching the scene, also let out relieved breaths, their gratitude directed toward Naruto on the screen.

"Finally, he made it in time. By the way, isn't Naruto always in these sky-screen broadcasts?"

"So is Sasuke! They're in every one of these videos."

"Okay, but between the two, who do you think is stronger?"

"Obviously Sasuke. The Mangekyō Sharingan's power is insane—Naruto doesn't stand a chance."

"Hold on, isn't Naruto backed by the Nine-Tails?"

[In the Hokage's Office]

"That's me!" Naruko exclaimed with excitement, pointing at the screen. She clenched her fist and declared confidently, "Just watch, Ero-Sennin! I'll definitely bring Sasuke back!"

Sasuke scoffed, rolling his eyes. "I haven't even left."

[On Screen]

[Naruto, visibly angry at Sasuke's actions, confronted him. "Sasuke, Sakura is part of Team 7, just like you!"]

[Sasuke, however, showed no surprise at Naruto's words. Instead, he smirked coldly. "To me, that's the old Team 7."]

[Kakashi stepped between them, shielding Naruto and Sakura as he faced Sasuke's wrathful gaze. "Naruto, you see it now, don't you? This isn't the Sasuke you once knew!"]

[Naruto closed his eyes for a moment, breathing deeply before opening them again. His gaze locked onto Sasuke's.]

["Sasuke."]

["What is it?"]

The Ninja World:

"Wait, why is Sasuke talking so calmly? That doesn't make any sense!"

"What happened to the rage and insanity just now?"

"Is he a master of changing moods or what?"

"This is literally what I imagined!!

Kakashi: 'Sasuke!'

Sasuke: 'Don't act like a teacher, Kakashi.'

Sakura: 'Sasuke…'

Sasuke: 'You're annoying.'

Naruto: 'Sasuke.'

Sasuke: 'What's up?'"

"This has to be love!"

[In the Hokage's Office]

The atmosphere was awkward as everyone stared at Sasuke and Naruko.

Sasuke's face turned a deep green, while Naruko felt like burying herself in a hole. "This is so embarrassing!"

[On Screen]

["Sasuke, I've already heard the truth about Itachi from Tobi. I don't know if what he said is entirely true, but I understand why you're doing this!" Naruto said, meeting Sasuke's gaze.]

["Naruto, I've told you before—you can't possibly understand my feelings. You don't have parents or siblings, so don't act like you can. Just stay out of it!" Sasuke replied coldly.]

Naruko, watching from the Hokage's Office, pouted. "That's not fair!" Sasuke's words hit harder than she expected, and she decided to give him the silent treatment—at least for now.

[On Screen]

[Before Naruto could respond, Sakura interjected. "Do you even realize how much Naruto cares about you, Sasuke? He's always thought of you as a teammate, even when everyone else gave up on you!"]

[Sasuke sneered. "Care about me? Save me from what?"]

["From your revenge!" Naruto shouted, his eyes resolute. "I'll save you from being consumed by hatred—I swear I will!"]

[Sasuke laughed bitterly, shaking his head. "There's no need. My revenge has already begun."]

["Just now, I finally killed one of the people responsible for Itachi's pain," Sasuke said, as the screen shifted to an earlier event.]

The scene rewound to an intense battle on the same bridge. Sasuke fought Danzo, whose arm was covered in implanted Sharingan. In the end, Danzo used a sealing technique, destroying half the bridge in the process.

["I killed one of Konoha's higher-ups—Danzo."]

The Ninja World:

"Danzo is dead?!"

"That Uchiha kid actually killed him?!"

Danzo, watching from his hidden base in Root, froze. His face darkened as he muttered bitterly, "That Uchiha brat… Impossible!"

The death of a major figure like him, broadcast for all to see, made him seethe with anger. "He must die! He must not be allowed to live!"

[In the Hokage's Office]

Sasuke and Itachi stared at the screen, their expressions icy as they focused on Danzo's arm filled with Sharingan.

"How many of our clan did that man kill?" Sasuke growled, his voice trembling with fury.

Hiruzen sighed deeply, his expression grim. "You're right to be angry. Danzo's actions have gone too far. I'll see to it that justice is done."

The Ninja World:

"Finally! Danzo's gone—justice is served!"

"Did you see his arm? How many Uchiha did he kill to do that?!"

"Good riddance. I was sick of that guy."

[The Five Great Nations:]

[Ōnoki: Good. Danzo's death is long overdue. Well done, Uchiha kid.]

[Fourth Raikage: A Kage-level leader taken down by a mere Uchiha? Embarrassing. But still, good riddance.]

[Mei Terumi: That arm of his… disgusting. I don't blame Sasuke for killing him.]

[Orochimaru (pretending to be the Kazekage): What else can I say? Truly fascinating.]

Danzo, still watching the scene, clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white. His expression twisted with fury as he stared at Sasuke's smug face.

"This brat cannot be allowed to live!"
