Naruto: The Fall of the Uchiha - Chapter 58
Why!
Even though he was mercilessly and brutally beaten by the blood-red Susanoo, causing every cell in Danzo’s body to endure excruciating pain that would break an ordinary person, he still managed to bear it with his tenacious ‘root’ willpower.
Even as the exposure of his transplantation of Hashirama cells and Sharingan led to his tireless efforts for Konoha being misunderstood, making him lose the chance to become Hokage forever, Danzo gritted his teeth and held on.
Physical torment! Dreams shattered!
But these couldn’t break Danzo’s ‘root’ willpower. He still believed that everything he did was for Konoha and was planning his escape.
Only I, Shimura Danzo, can lead Konoha to its peak…
But!
Hiruzen Sarutobi’s ruthless punch that exploded his head shattered Danzo’s supposedly resilient spirit.
Why did Hiruzen Sarutobi strike at him now?
Scheming against Sakumo Hatake, human experiments, oppressing clans, even sending assassins after Hiruzen…
Despite all he did for Konoha, Hiruzen had always understood his ‘root’ will…
If it weren’t for his slight hesitation, Hiruzen Sarutobi would never have been given the position of the Third Hokage!
A friend’s betrayal!
Compared to physical and dream-related blows, this betrayal broke the ‘Darkness of the Shinobi World.’
Danzo even forgot to conceal himself, relying only on muscle memory for hand signs. He had given up on his next escape move and, in his grief, roared at Hiruzen.
“Everything I did was for Konoha! How can you do this to me!”
Humph!
Hiruzen Sarutobi no longer hesitated. His earlier action sealed his decision to cut ties with the darkness, especially with the high-ranking clan members expecting his stance.
“Danzo, you acted on your own, doing countless heinous acts behind my back. As the Hokage and the representative of the Will of Fire, I, Hiruzen Sarutobi, cannot stand with someone like you.”
“You… how could you not know…”
“Silence!”
Hiruzen, sensing Danzo’s attempt to slander him, shouted him down and swiftly performed hand signs.
Tiger-Ram-Monkey-Boar-Horse-Tiger, Fire Release: Dragon Flame Jutsu!
Seven seals were completed in less than a second, and three massive dragons of flame roared out of Hiruzen’s mouth, charging toward Danzo.
“Lies!”
Danzo swiftly performed Wind Release: Vacuum Great Sphere, countering Hiruzen’s fire jutsu and escaping its range, intending to voice all his grievances.
You knew everything…
Why is it all on me, Shimura Danzo?
“Enough with the soap opera drama!”
Before Danzo could continue, a cold voice rang from the sky, sending shivers down Danzo’s spine.
Needs improvement!
The blood-red hand of Susanoo descended again, pinning him firmly.
“Good decision!”
After effortlessly subduing Danzo again, Uchiha Jin descended, surrounded by Susanoo’s chakra, and looked down at the wary Hiruzen Sarutobi.
“Uchiha Jin, what do you intend to do!”
An ANBU with an animal mask stepped forward to intercept but froze instantly upon speaking.
“Uchiha!”
Hiruzen’s face darkened. Facing Susanoo’s power, even the self-proclaimed ‘Strongest Hokage’ dared not be careless.
“Hiruzen Sarutobi, well done!”
“Truly worthy of inheriting the Will of Fire!”
Jin didn’t advance further, his mocking smile becoming an unexpected admiration tone.
Hmm?
Hiruzen was puzzled by Jin’s act but soon realized it was sarcasm.
Sure enough!
“For the Will of Fire, you forsook your duty to protect the Second Hokage to return to the village and become Hokage. After the Third Shinobi World War, you abandoned the spoils of victory for the Will of Fire, and recently, you sacrificed the head of the Hyuga branch family for the Will of Fire!”
Jin glanced at Hiashi Hyuga, whose face turned ugly, then gave Hiruzen a thumbs-up.
“Now, for the Will of Fire, you decided to kill your comrade from the Shadow Guard. Truly, the inheritor of the Will of Fire. The Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, didn’t misjudge you!”
Humph!
Jin’s tone turned cold as he activated Susanoo.
Boom!
With the ruthless crushing of Susanoo, Danzo’s body exploded into a bloody mist.
“Eliminating the traitor Danzo is the duty of the Police Force, so there’s no need for the acting Hokage to intervene!”
Ignoring Hiruzen’s reaction, Jin turned and left unguarded.
“You…”
Hiruzen trembled with rage, his chakra surging angrily, ready to attack this defiant demon.
But…
Considering the chaos caused by Danzo, Hiruzen had to endure the humiliation.
Give me time to regroup, and the ninja clans will submit to my Will of Fire again, and then…
Meanwhile, Jin ignored Hiruzen, looking towards the resurrected Danzo.
As he passed the sullen Hiashi, Jin smirked and sneered softly.
“We Uchiha dared to confront Hiruzen and kill Danzo for Shisui, while the Hyuga Clan only dared to act against their own, even delivering their corpses to the enemy…”
“Are you even worthy to compete with the Uchiha?”
Humph~tui!
Blasting Hiashi away with his chakra, Jin headed to Danzo’s resurrection point.
Boom!
With a punch, Susanoo’s colossal fist struck Danzo again.
Wind Release: Vacuum Serial Waves!
Having died again and endured extreme pain, Danzo regained some rationality, using Wind Release to dodge the attack.
But the Wind Release was too weak, and despite his efforts, Danzo barely survived, gasping on the ground.
Jin’s voice followed, and Susanoo’s fist came down again.
“Your comical act has amused me enough. Time to exit the stage!”
