Chapter 146: Chapter 146 : Desparate Situation!!
Buzz~
At the moment when Shisui let his guard down, it seemed like the surrounding space flickered as if it was unreal for a brief moment!
"Danzo, don't you think the Uchiha clan is an evil clan? Why are you still after my eyes?" Shisui continued to walk forward while staring at Danzo.
However,
As he spoke, he remained wary of the other ROOT ninjas: "You better not move, or I'll take Danzo's life right here!"
Even though Shisui said this, the naive Shisui only intended to stop the ROOT ninjas from attacking and didn't actually want to kill Danzo.
However,
The threat still worked. The ROOT ninjas froze and didn't move to attack anymore.
"Danzo, move!" Shisui, out of habit, placed a hand on Danzo's shoulder.
Buzz~~
But at that moment, Danzo suddenly moved!
He first punched Shisui in the stomach, then followed up with a rapid series of attacks!
Perhaps because Shisui was overconfident in his genjutsu, he hadn't expected Danzo to fight back!
But when Shisui tried to retaliate, it felt like Danzo was actually absorbing the damage!
Danzo made reckless, desperate attacks!
Shisui was still hesitant and didn't fight back effectively.
Finally!
Under Danzo's relentless attacks, Shisui was forced into a losing position, and during a moment of distraction, Danzo quickly gouged out one of Shisui's eyes!
The sharp pain in his eye made Shisui lose focus again.
After enduring several more attacks from Danzo, Shisui managed to distance himself. His right eye had been taken, and he stared fiercely at Danzo with the one remaining eye.
Just now,
Danzo had clearly fallen into Shisui's genjutsu, but how did he break free?
And when Shisui attacked him, it was as if Danzo was willing to sacrifice his life at any moment, as if he didn't care about his survival.
"You?"
Uchiha Shisui couldn't understand, so he could only look at Danzo: "What forbidden technique did you use?"
It was obvious,
Danzo's wounds were healing right before his eyes.
"You think it's a forbidden technique? Well, if you say so, then it is. By the way, it's all thanks to your Uchiha clan!" Danzo said, a smirk appearing on his face as he watched Shisui, who was still in shock.
As he spoke, Danzo began to unwrap the bandages on his head, revealing eyes that were gradually turning a dull gray.
"Izanagi. It's a forbidden technique of the Uchiha clan!" Shisui's anger grew even more upon seeing this.
Izanagi.
It allows a person to temporarily rewrite reality at the cost of one Sharingan.
As long as the Sharingan's power hasn't been fully depleted, the user can alter reality for as long as their eyes remain active. It was like with Danzo: from the moment he attacked, barely 30 seconds had passed, and during that time, Danzo could rewrite the injuries he had suffered.
Even if he took fatal damage, he could recover completely!
The stronger the eyes, the longer the user can rewrite reality.
It was one of the most powerful abilities of the Sharingan.
Now, as Danzo's right eye turned gray, he returned to his original state.
Damn it!
Danzo had been plotting against the Uchiha clan all along and had even stolen the eyes of the Uchiha to use their forbidden technique!
"How do you have a Uchiha's Sharingan?" Shisui was furious now. Danzo was utterly despicable. "What did you do to my Uchiha clan?"
"Haha... what else would I do? Naturally, I captured a few of your people for experiments!" Danzo said, clearly pleased with himself as he now held one of Shisui's eyes.
Shisui was already heavily injured, and the other pair of eyes also belonged to him!
"Heh... I knew it. You're the evil one!" Uchiha Shisui forced a bitter smile. He had heard rumors before about Danzo Shimura conducting human experiments and capturing many people for them.
But he never took it seriously.
He never imagined that members of his own Uchiha clan would fall victim to Danzo's hands.
"You evil Uchiha, you're nothing but subjects for my experiments!" Danzo sneered, his face showing no trace of concealing his disgust for the Uchiha clan. "From now on, your eyes will be mine, and I will make good use of their power!"
"Danzo, do you think the Third Hokage knows about your actions? Aren't you afraid that Hokage-sama will punish you?" Shisui glared at Danzo, continuing to scold him angrily.
"Heh... You're the most naive Uchiha I've ever met!" Danzo couldn't help but laugh this time. Even now, Shisui still believed in the so-called Third Hokage!
Danzo didn't even consider the fact that Sarutobi Hiruzen, the Hokage of Konoha, wouldn't be oblivious to his actions in the village.
At that point, Danzo didn't want to waste any more time talking to Shisui. He waved his hand.
"Take the other eye as well!"
Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad if this Uchiha genius were to die like this.
At least he would die with the will of fire in his heart!
And Danzo would take this as compensation for taking his eyes.
With Danzo's order, ROOT members closed in once again, each performing their ninjutsu.
But now, Shisui was heavily injured, and having lost his right eye, his combat strength was greatly diminished.
Facing over a dozen elite Jonin, he had no advantage at all. After a brief exchange, he had already sustained further injuries.
"Keep attacking! He won't last much longer!" Danzo shouted excitedly from the side, urging the Anbu ninjas to intensify their assault.
If he could acquire Shisui's eyes, the position of Hokage would be his.
The Root ninjas glared at each other and charged toward Shisui again!
But Shisui knew this wasn't the time to fight. He still had to stop the coup!
He couldn't die here!
With that thought, as the ninjas attacked, he pulled a smoke bomb from his pocket and threw it to the ground!
The smoke quickly filled the area, blocking the line of sight!
The Root ninjas lost their position, and Shisui took the chance to escape toward the distance!
As the smoke cleared, Danzo looked at the now-empty space where Shisui had been. He couldn't help but shout, "Chase him! He's been poisoned by my deadly toxin and can't escape. We must catch him today!"
During their fight, Danzo had coated his weapons with poison, just in case he couldn't defeat Shisui and needed to make sure Shisui couldn't run away!
The Root ninjas nodded and rushed toward the direction Shisui had fled!
They couldn't let Shisui return to the village, or their plans would be exposed.
So, Shisui ran ahead, and the Root ninjas chased from behind!
But!
Shisui was nearly exhausted and badly injured. There was no way he could escape from the pursuit of dozens of elite ninjas.
Countless shurikens flew toward him, making it impossible to dodge!
A strong desire to survive rose in his heart. For the Uchiha clan, he couldn't die now. At least, he couldn't let Danzo get his Sharingan!
He had to live. He had to change the fate of the Uchiha clan and the will of the clan leader!
The Third Hokage had promised him that as long as he didn't start a coup, the Uchiha clan would be treated fairly!
Buzz~~
A terrifying power suddenly spread from Shisui's remaining left eye.
A green barrier appeared, blocking the shurikens. At the same time, a massive green force seemed to manifest in front of everyone!
A terrifying pressure spread!
