Tap, tap, tap...
Low footsteps came slowly, and under flickering lightning and distant firelight, a man cloaked in shadows revealed half his face—it was Danzo Shimura.
"Why are you still looking for me now?" Danzo said coldly.
"Bastard! Danzo, you know exactly what you did! You killed Uchiha Fugaku and Uchiha Mikoto and took their Sharingan. You must answer for this!"
This elder Uchiha was key in the cooperation between Danzo and the clan, but after news of Fugaku and Mikoto's deaths spread, other clan elders questioned him. Angry, he contacted Danzo directly.
"No, you're mistaken. Mikoto was not killed by my men," Danzo said lightly. "But their eyes were collected by me. Let's say it's the price for cooperation."
"The price? Why should we pay that price? What about yours?"
"You're naïve if you think you deserve to make me pay!" Danzo suddenly exploded in anger and shouted:
Fūton: Kūki Bakuhatsu (Wind Release: Vacuum Explosion)!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Danzo inhaled deeply and fired numerous compressed air bullets like a machine gun.
"Bastard!
Katon: Gōkakyū no Jutsu (Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu)!"
The elder Uchiha counterattacked immediately.
But the air bullets pierced the fireball, blasting past it.
Shunshin no Jutsu (Body Flicker Technique)!
Though old, the elder dodged swiftly.
He was old, but Danzo was in his prime, backed by Root elite ninja. How could he face Danzo alone?
"It's useless!"
Danzo manipulated the air currents and sucked the Uchiha back.
Fūton: Kūki Bakuhatsu!
A sharp wind blade shot from his mouth, instantly slicing the elder Uchiha in half.
Boom!
After the smoke cleared, the body halves had turned into wooden stakes.
Danzo sneered, "Fūton: Kūki Bakuhatsu!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless air bullets rained violently in a 180-degree arc, accompanied by the elder's screams.
Danzo stepped forward and unleashed a powerful follow-up. "Fūton: Kūki Bakuhatsu!"
One wind blade after another strafed crazily, and amid blood, the elder fell quickly.
Because of fierce fighting outside, no one noticed this secret fight.
Danzo turned, watching beyond the village, his face twisted. "An S-rank rogue dares act arrogantly before you, Hiruzen? You're unfit as Hokage. For Konoha's sake, I will take your place."
Soon Root ninja jumped from shadows to clean up the aftermath.
Danzo narrowed his eyes: "An S-rank isn't proof, but Konoha's White Fang must die. Hehehe. Hiruzen, don't blame me. Everything I do is for the village!"
