The battlefield still crackled with the aftermath of elemental jutsu clashing, the air thick with the acrid smell of smoke and scorched earth. In the chaos, the alliance pressed their advantage against the remaining Root operatives, leaving Shisui to face Danzo alone.
Shisui's Sharingan spun with ominous brilliance as he stared down his enemy. "Danzo," he said, his voice carrying across the battlefield like a sharp blade, "You will pay for your crime by death today."
Danzo's expression twisted into a sneer. He extended his arm, revealing the grotesque collection of Sharingan embedded into his flesh. "You think you can kill me, Shisui? I am the one who has kept Konoha strong, who has sacrificed more than you could ever imagine!"
Shisui's eyes narrowed. "Sacrifice? Don't delude yourself. Everything you've done has been for your own ambition. It's time you pay for what you've stolen."
Danzo's hands blurred into a flurry of seals. "Wind Style: Vacuum Sphere!" he roared, unleashing a barrage of compressed air bullets. They tore through the battlefield, shredding anything in their path.
Shisui darted to the side, his movements fluid and precise. Each bullet grazed past him harmlessly as he closed the distance between them. His kunai glinted in the light as he swung it at Danzo's exposed side.
But Danzo anticipated the attack. With a twist of his body, he avoided the strike and retaliated with a "Wind Style: Vacuum Blade," the sharp edge of compressed wind chakra slashing through the air.
Shisui blocked the attack with his kunai, sparks flying as the two forces collided. The impact forced him back, but his stance remained steady.
Danzo smirked, his visible Sharingan glinting with malice. "Don't underestimate me, boy!" he spat, his chakra flaring as he formed another series of seals. "Summoning Jutsu!"
With a thunderous roar, the Baku appeared, its massive form towering over the battlefield. The creature immediately inhaled with immense force, the suction pulling Shisui toward its gaping maw.
Shisui skidded back, planting his feet firmly into the ground. "So you're still relying on tricks," he muttered. His hands flew into motion, forming a series of seals. "Fire Style: Dragon Flame Jutsu!"
A massive torrent of fire erupted from his mouth, taking the form of a serpentine dragon. The flames roared as they collided with the Baku, engulfing it in a fiery inferno. The creature let out a pained howl before dissipating in a cloud of smoke.
Danzo frowned seeing his summoning beast defeated easily. Shisui strength have increased significantly that few days ago. But its impossible to increase strength in just few days and where did he get another Mangekyo sharingan from? Maybe thats the reason for his increased strength.
Shaking his head, Danzo jumped and dodged kunai's throw at him and used a kunai to deflect others.
He retaliated by aunching powerful Wind Style attacks while Shisui danced around him with precision and grace. Each movement was calculated, each strike aimed to exploit Danzo's weaknesses.
As the battle intensified, Danzo began to falter. His attacks grew more frantic, his movements less coordinated. Shisui's Sharingan caught every slip, every hesitation. With each exchange, it became clear that Shisui was toying with him.
Damn it… how is he this strong? Danzo thought, his breaths coming in ragged gasps. He glanced at his arm, where several of the Sharingan had already closed. I've burned through too many Izanagi already. If this continues…

Meanwhile, the rest of the alliance had nearly finished wiping out the remaining Root operatives.
Hyuga Hiashi moved like a blur, his Byakugan glowing as he dismantled his enemies with ruthless efficiency. His strikes disrupted chakra networks with pinpoint accuracy, rendering the operatives helpless.
"Eight Trigrams: Sixty-Four Palms!" Hiashi roared, his strikes a blur as he brought down a squad of operatives in mere seconds.
On the other side of the battlefield, Rias Gremory hovered in midair, her crimson aura blazing. "Crimson Extinction!" she shouted, releasing a massive orb of destruction. The explosion left a smoldering crater in its wake, wiping out a cluster of Root operatives.
Lily Potter fought with a mix of magical and demonic power, her wand and demonic energy weaving together in deadly harmony. "Confringo!" she shouted, sending fiery blasts that tore through the remaining operatives.
"Don't let up!" Tsunade bellowed, her fists glowing with chakra as she brought them down on the battlefield, causing the ground to erupt beneath a group of enemies.
Xuanyu moved around, smashing root ninjas with his hammer.
The alliance fought with a ferocity that left no room for mercy. Within minutes, the last of the Root operatives had fallen.

Back at the center of the battlefield, Shisui's fight with Danzo reached its climax.
Danzo panted heavily, blood trickling from his mouth. His chakra reserves were nearly depleted, his body battered and bruised. The Sharingan embedded in his arm had nearly all closed, their power spent. Yet his fury burned brighter than ever.
"Hiruzen… you spineless fool…" Danzo muttered under his breath as he staggered back. His voice rose to a venomous snarl. "And you… Tsunade… Hiashi… all of you! Traitors! You've turned your backs on Konoha! I sacrificed everything—EVERYTHING—for this village, and this is how I'm repaid?!"
Shisui approached him slowly, his expression cold and unyielding, the Mangekyo Sharingan in his eyes spinning like an ominous vortex. "You didn't sacrifice for Konoha. You sacrificed Konoha. You used its people as pawns for your own ambition. That ends now."
Danzo sneered, his hand trembling as he tried to form a final seal. "You naïve child. You think you're better than me? You think you can protect this village with your idealism? This world doesn't reward honor or mercy—it devours it!"
Shisui vanished in a blur of speed. Before Danzo could react, he felt searing pain as Shisui's kunai slashed through his arm. The grotesque limb with embedded Sharingan fell to the ground, blood pooling around it. Danzo screamed, his voice a mix of rage and agony.
"You won't steal another life with this abomination," Shisui said coldly, crushing the severed arm beneath his heel.
Danzo clutched his stump, his breathing ragged. "You… damn Uchiha… You think this makes you a hero? You're all the same—power-hungry, cursed by your own blood!"
Ignoring Danzo's rant, Shisui stepped closer. With calculated precision, he reached forward and ripped the Sharingan from Danzo's remaining eye socket. Danzo howled, falling to his knees as blood streamed down his face.
Shisui's voice was sharp, filled with finality. "No more Izanagi. No more schemes. This is the end of your twisted legacy."
Danzo collapsed, gasping for breath, his once fiery defiance dimming into desperation. "You fools… You'll regret this. Without me, Konoha will crumble. When the world tears your village apart… when enemies surround you… remember that you betrayed the one who was willing to do what was necessary!"
Shisui gazed down at him, unmoved. "If Konoha crumbles, it won't be because of enemies—it'll be because of people like you."
Danzo's body trembled as his strength gave out, his voice a fading whisper. "Hiruzen… you should've… listened to me…"
With a swift motion, Shisui ended it, driving his kunai into Danzo's heart. The tyrant slumped to the ground, his life extinguished.
Shisui stood there for a moment, the battlefield silent except for the crackling of distant flames. He turned to see his allies approaching, their faces a mix of exhaustion and relief.
"The monster is dead," Shisui said quietly, dropping the bloodied kunai. "Danzo's reign of fear is over."
Tsunade stepped forward, her gaze fixed on the fallen body. "He may have claimed it was for Konoha, but all he brought was suffering."
Hiashi nodded solemnly. "Let this be a warning. Power without honor will always destroy itself."
Shisui glanced at the sky, his Mangekyo spinning omniously.
