"So they used Izanagi again? Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be working."
Itachi chuckled
"You'll soon find out whether it works or not."
Danzo gritted his teeth
He swung his kunai wildly, stabbing, thrusting, and slashing with practiced skill, yet none of his attacks could touch Itachi in the slightest.
All of Itachi Uchiha's attacks were easily neutralized.
Since it was still within the one-minute effect of Izanagi, Itachi chose to play conservatively.
Let him live a little longer.
"Itachi, the Third Hokage has arrived."
Uchiha Shisui suddenly appeared, his expression grim.
The next move is crucial; failure will leave them vulnerable to Konoha's full-scale counterattack.
"So fast?" Itachi was slightly surprised.
Now that things have come to this, it's clearly inappropriate to continue entangled with Danzo. Let's leave the rest to Shisui.
He leaped away, standing shoulder to shoulder with Shisui.
Itachi chuckled, twirled his staff, and sheathed the tungsten iron rod behind him: "Don't worry, just proceed according to plan."
Shisui felt somewhat relieved by Itachi's comforting words.
"Then, I'll leave this place to you. I'll deal with things outside."
Shisui nodded, reached for the hilt of his sword behind his back, and calmly turned his gaze to Danzo.
Itachi no longer hesitated, slightly bent his knees, and suddenly pushed off.
boom!
With an astonishing burst of power, he shot into the sky like a rocket, instantly leaving the hidden "Root" stronghold far behind.
Only after Itachi left did Shisui begin to assess the battlefield.
Witnessing the scene within the "Root" stronghold that resembled a battlefield, Shisui gasped in shock.
At some point, Itachi's fighting style changed drastically, no longer relying on genjutsu and ninjutsu.
Instead, a 560-pound tungsten iron rod was used, which swept away everything with brute force.
In Itachi's words:
"This is much more practical than ninjutsu."
Along the way, Shisui had almost always seen Itachi single-handedly slaughtering everyone in his path.
With his current strength and the tungsten iron rod, an ordinary person would die instantly upon contact.
"Uchiha Shisui"
Danzo's voice interrupted Shisui's thoughts, and Shisui looked at him in confusion.
"Shisui, the key to ending this rebellion is in your hands."
"Uchiha Itachi has gone mad! Use your Kotoamatsukami to stop him!"
"Perhaps he can still save some people; otherwise, the Uchiha clan will perish because of his mistake!"
Danzo narrowed his eyes. Compared to the unpredictable Itachi, Shisui was clearly easier to deal with.
He almost persuaded Shisui to break ties with the Uchiha clan, but at the crucial moment, Shisui severed all contact.
He had long coveted Shisui's Sharingan.
Especially after learning of Kotoamatsukami's power, he constantly longed to possess it.
"I will not allow anyone to hinder Itachi's plans."
This time, Shisui displayed an unprecedentedly resolute attitude.
"you……"
Danzo frowned, about to speak, when Shisui's sword swiftly swung towards him.
"You're courting death!"
"The Uchiha clan ends today!"
Danzo quickly jumped aside to avoid it, leaping onto a tall building and glaring down at Shisui.
"Get past me first."
"Phantom Instantaneous Movement Technique!"
........................
Corpses were scattered across the ground of the Root organization's base, most of them Danzo's subordinates, but there were also many Uchiha clan members among them.

Even with Itachi and Shisui leading the team, sacrifices were still inevitable, as there were always ninjutsu that were difficult to defend against.
At this moment, all the Uchiha elites gathered together, watching their enemy with vigilance.
They are all members of Konoha's Anbu, as well as many active Konoha ninja.
No need to count; a single glance is enough to tell that there are over a thousand Konoha ninjas present!
They are completely surrounded and have no way to escape!
With their individual ninjutsu alone, they could instantly overwhelm hundreds of Uchiha clan members.
Not to mention the silent old man standing before the ninja formation, who exuded immense pressure despite his silence.
—The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi!
"Young Clan Chief!"
"Young clan leader, you've arrived!"
The Uchiha clan members were in an uproar because of Itachi's arrival.
Itachi raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then walked to the front of the group and confronted Hiruzen Sarutobi.
"Third Hokage, what brings you here so late at night?" Itachi asked with a smile.
On the opposite side, Hiruzen Sarutobi, dressed in a black combat suit, wielded his summoned beast Enma, which had transformed into the Vajra Staff, and appeared ready for battle.
Hiruzen Sarutobi's face darkened: "Itachi Uchiha, no need to beat around the bush. I just want to know, was this your idea or Fugaku Uchiha's?"
"You Uchiha..."
Is it a decision made to start a war?
As soon as the words were spoken, everyone present held their breath.
All eyes were on Itachi Uchiha, for his answer would determine the fate of the entire village.
Even behind Hiruzen Sarutobi, some ninjas were already swallowing nervously.
Faced with the Uchiha clan's formidable reputation and the Sharingan's bloodline limit, they felt considerable pressure in battle.
Chapter 132 Hiruzen Sarutobi: Who's trying to stir things up?
At this moment of great anticipation, Itachi smiled and said casually:
"Lord Third Hokage, you may have misunderstood. We are only here to settle some personal scores with Shimura Danzo, and it has nothing to do with the village."
"The Uchiha clan has always valued peace; why would they start a war?"
You're overthinking it.
Upon hearing Itachi's words, many people from Konoha visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Personal matters?
Okay, okay, that scared you to death! It was a false alarm.
Personal grudges are fine, as long as it's not a real rebellion.
"Personal grudge?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Itachi Uchiha to answer in that way.
"and you……"
Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Suddenly, someone from the back of the crowd shouted:
"Personal grudges? Lord Danzo is devoted to Konoha, how could he have personal grudges against you?!"
"Don't use this as an excuse! Show me the evidence if you dare!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned, turning around to try and find out which clan's ninja had been so presumptuous as to speak before he, the Hokage, had even given the order.
