Naruto: This Uchiha is too Evil - Chapter 22
Danzo pointed at Itsuki, yelling at the people around him.
The surrounding people looked at each other in confusion.
Has Danzo gone mad?
They never obeyed his orders, let alone now. They weren’t his Root ninjas.
Nara Shikaku said slowly, “Danzo-sama, the Hokage is on his way. You should think about how to explain this to him.”
“That’s right!” Uchiha Fugaku said coldly. “Our clan also needs an explanation as to why Root ninjas attacked our people.”
What explanation do you need? Look at Uchiha Itsuki! The way he’s looking down on me! Do you still need an explanation?
Danzo was about to lose his mind, his face twisted with rage. “Do I need to explain myself to the Uchiha?”
Fugaku laughed, his expression grim as the three-tomoe Sharingan spun in his eyes. “Danzo, am I giving you too much respect?”
A terrifying killing intent emanated from Fugaku. The Uchiha ninjas around him also revealed their Sharingan, glaring coldly at Danzo. Setsuna was the most eager, itching to start a fight.
“Hmph! Fugaku, do you also want to betray the village?” Danzo scoffed. He had nothing but disdain for Fugaku, daring him with his gaze.
Both sides stood off coldly.
On one side were the Uchiha high-ups led by Fugaku.
On the other side was Danzo, with only one Root ninja by his side. Oh, and there were still flames on both of them.
The surrounding people instinctively gathered around Shikaku, their eyes turning to him. But Shikaku didn’t even raise his head. What are you looking at? They’re not going to fight! If Uchiha Itsuki were still here, maybe things would be different. But these two? Ha.
Uchiha Fugaku, known for his steadiness, wouldn’t start a conflict lightly. As for Danzo, he might be provocative, but with only one Root ninja by his side, he wasn’t foolish enough to poke the Uchiha at this moment.
“Stop!”
An elderly figure rushed in, shouting, “Danzo, Fugaku, stop!”
The Third Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen, had arrived! Surrounded by Anbu, he scanned the area. The wreckage and bloodstains made his eye twitch. The sight of blood further aggravated his nerves. He turned sharply, glaring at Fugaku and Danzo.
“Are you both mad? Causing trouble at a time like this?” Hiruzen roared.
God knows how much he sweated when he heard about the fight at the hospital. The incident with the Mangekyo Sharingan had already made Konoha unstable. An internal conflict could easily trigger a civil war. At this time, other villages had recovered some strength. If Konoha erupted into civil war, who could guarantee that other villages wouldn’t take the opportunity to attack?
Growing older had made Hiruzen more indecisive and more fearful of war.
“It wasn’t them…” Shikaku whispered as he approached Hiruzen. “They weren’t the ones fighting.”
“Then who was?” Hiruzen asked angrily, pointing at the two. “Who else was causing trouble here?”
Fugaku: “…”
Danzo: “…”
Everyone: “…”
That is such a good point!
Right, it was Uchiha Itsuki and Danzo who were fighting, not Fugaku and Danzo!
Where’s Itsuki?
Oh, he went to sleep.
Then it’s okay.
Everyone fell silent except for Shikaku, who continued whispering to Hiruzen. Hiruzen’s expression gradually turned strange.
“Call Itsuki… no, let him sleep,” Hiruzen said, waving his hand. “Everyone else, disperse. Fugaku, Danzo, Shikaku, come with me.”
The ninjas exchanged glances before leaving.
…
Although blind, Itsuki walked steadily, relying on his sensory abilities.
And…
“Sigh!” Kurenai appeared, sighing helplessly. “I just went to see someone off, and you started a fight?”
“If you stayed, I’d have to worry about your safety!” Itsuki said, smiling as Kurenai helped him, the two strolling.
“Can’t I help you?”
Kurenai asked, a bit dissatisfied.
“Heh!” Itsuki chuckled. “Dealing with a few Jonin doesn’t require you, a Chunin. You give them too much credit.”
Kurenai rolled her eyes, but it looked beautiful. “You just left like that?”
“What else should I do there?” Itsuki said, bored. “The rest is just arguing. Leave it to the old guys.”
“Arguing?”
“What else?” Itsuki asked. “Do you think the Hokage will wipe out the Uchiha, or the Uchiha will take down Danzo? No one can touch the other right now. Besides exchanging harsh words, what can they do?”
There was one thing Itsuki didn’t say. After today’s display of strength, he believed things around him would quiet down a lot. As for others speculating about him, well…
Let them think whatever they want! Don’t show off before me, or I’ll deal with them.
Kurenai remained silent. After a long time, she spoke softly, “You killed over ten Root ninjas. They were all Konoha ninjas, and now they’re dead.”
She didn’t sympathise with the Root ninjas but felt sentimental about losing so many elite ninjas.
“Danzo once said ninjas are tools. But did he ever consider himself a tool? Did the Third Hokage? Are they tools, or are only others tools?”
They didn’t continue talking, padding like an ordinary couple until they reached Kurenai’s home.
Itsuki’s home was destroyed and under reconstruction, which would take three to five months.
“What are you going to do next?” Kurenai asked curiously.
Itsuki smiled and walked into Kurenai’s bedroom. On the bedside table was a large scroll.
“What’s this?” Kurenai asked, puzzled. She didn’t remember having such a thing in her home.
Itsuki formed a hand seal and said, “Release!”
With a puff of white smoke, the scroll opened, revealing a particular glass container filled with liquid containing a pair of Sharingan.
“These… these are…” Kurenai stammered.
“Sharingan!” Itsuki smiled. “I’m going to transplant a new pair of eyes.”
Shisui’s eyes! The Mangekyo Sharingan of his blood brother, capable of the strongest genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami!
“Now?” Kurenai asked in surprise. “The outside isn’t settled yet…”
“Exactly, that’s why it’s the best time!” Itsuki said with a smile. “Besides, I have protection.”
“Protection? Me?” Kurenai asked nervously.
Itsuki’s answer came swiftly, “No way! With you, I’d probably die hundreds of times.”
Kurenai: “…”
“Then who?”
Kurenai bit her lip.
“Probably me.”
A ghostly voice sounded. A boy with distinct tear lines on his face appeared in the room.
