Otherwise, how do you explain why these people didn't leave after killing him, but instead continued to wait in the same spot?

Danzo slowly unwrapped the bandages from his arm, revealing pale skin underneath and a dense network of...

Sharingan!

"I originally intended to use this opportunity to fake my death and escape, but since I've already been seen through, I have no choice but to leave you all here."

"Are you surprised? It's not easy to collect so many Sharingan eyes. You have to thank your good brother for this."

"The Uchiha clan has indeed left behind many valuable things, especially a forbidden technique called Izanagi, which can actually break the boundary between illusion and reality, turning reality into illusion and illusion into reality. It's incredible!"

Perhaps because he couldn't stand Danzo's pretentious act, Shinji mercilessly exposed his charade.

"According to legend, Izanagi is one of the ultimate eye techniques of the Sharingan. This technique can transform all adverse factors, including damage and death, suffered by the user into a dream within a very short period of time, while simultaneously transforming all events beneficial to the user, such as attacks, into reality. It is a technique that can freely switch between dreams and reality, and is considered a 'perfect eye technique'."

"But the price is that your eyes will be permanently blind after the procedure. Even if you collect so many Sharingan, how many times can you use Izanagi?"

Danzo's face was grim, while Sasuke noticed that one of Danzo's Sharingan eyes on his arm had been permanently closed, which seemed to be the price that Shinji had just mentioned.

At this moment, Sasuke was filled with immense rage. He never imagined that not only had his brother been used, but the other party had also effortlessly slaughtered the Uchiha clan, and afterwards, had even gouged out the eyes of all the clan members and disgustingly transplanted them into his own body?!

This is absolutely unforgivable!

"Don't worry, there's enough time for me to bury you all here before these eyes are all used up."

Spiritual communication!

Bang!

Having decided to fight to the death, Danzo held back and immediately summoned Baku!

"Wind Release: Vacuum Wave!"

With the help of Baku, Danzo, who was already extremely proficient in ninjutsu, unleashed a powerful ninjutsu.

A massive wind blade, resembling a weasel's claw, slashed fiercely at Sasuke's Susanoo.

How could Susanoo, which was merely in half-skeletal form, actually be sliced ​​open by Danzo's sharp Wind Release ninjutsu?!

Sasuke's face darkened as he began to channel a large amount of ocular power and chakra into Susanoo.

The original half-skeletal body immediately began to change, with flesh and blood appearing on its surface, and a thick layer of armor covering its body.

After receiving Itachi's eyes and witnessing Itachi's death in front of him, Sasuke's eye power has increased several times.

Moreover, the lesson Itachi taught him with his life in the end was not wasted.

The best evidence is the half-body Susanoo that Sasuke has evolved twice on his body at this moment!

boom!

Under Sasuke's counterattack, Danzo, unable to dodge in time, was smashed into a bloody pulp by Susanoo's punch.

But the next moment, Danzo used Izanagi again, erasing his death and reviving himself, and then launched another attack.

"Wind Escape·Vacuum Jade!"

A massive, high-pressure blast, as powerful as a rocket launcher, capable of instantly shattering an enemy, slammed into Susanoo, causing Sasuke to stagger back several steps, but he ultimately managed to defend against it.

Despite having died twice, Danzo remained calm.

Because he still holds the biggest trump card that can turn the tide of battle!

Even though this trump card could have easily made him the Hokage, he never chose to use it.

He just hasn't decided who to use this trump card on yet...

[Chapter 519. Predicting the Enemy's Move]

Danzo's trump card was actually the eyes of Shisui that he had once stolen!

Because that Sharingan contains the strongest genjutsu—Kotoamatsukami.

It can directly invade the other person's brain without being detected and permanently and thoroughly modify their will.

That is the eye of domination, turning everyone the caster sees into his puppets!

However, the cooling time after use is too long, up to ten years.

Therefore, Danzo never dared to use it.

Otherwise, he could have controlled Hiruzen Sarutobi long ago and rightfully taken the position of Hokage.

And this was his final act of persistence.

While Danzo was engaged in a fierce battle with Sasuke, his eyes kept flashing between Shinji and Sasuke.

He only has one chance.

Whether to control Sasuke or Shinji Akagi is a question worth considering.

Although he had witnessed Shinji Akagi's power before, he had only seen a portion of Shinji's strength. If he had personally experienced Shinji's full power, he would not have hesitated at this moment.

Therefore, in Danzo's eyes at this moment, Shinji Akagi's potential may not be as high as Sasuke's.

Furthermore, Danzo was well aware of the Sharingan's potential, and having received Hashirama's cells, he subconsciously leaned towards Sasuke.

His reason for hesitation was that he worried Sasuke would have no say after he controlled him.

That would mean he would need to team up with Sasuke to deal with the others.

Shinji Akagi is clearly the leader of these people. Controlling him will at least eliminate the immediate danger.

Should we take a longer-term view and accept some risks?

Or should we choose to play it safe and live in the present?

"Amaterasu!"

In that brief moment of distraction, Danzo was caught in Sasuke's black flames.

Danzo let out a muffled groan, then activated Izanagi again, thus avoiding certain death.

In this one-on-one situation, Danzo is confident that he can wear Sasuke down. After all, Sasuke is still too young, and both activating Susanoo and releasing Amaterasu require a lot of stamina and chakra.

With the number of Sharingan he currently possesses, he can hold out until Sasuke abandons Susanoo in a desperate attempt.

At that time, he had every opportunity to turn the tide and win.

However, it was clear that the people around them couldn't just sit idly by and do nothing.

When Sasuke is exhausted or at a disadvantage, Shinji Akagi and others will undoubtedly intervene in the battle.

By then, his chances of winning will be even smaller, and he might not even have a chance to use Kotoamatsukami.

So it's decided!

Danzo's aura suddenly changed, and he unleashed his full power in conjunction with his summoning beast, Baku.

The fierce wind-style attack actually cut open several wounds on Susanoo's body!

With just this one terrifying Wind Release technique, Danzo is far superior to Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado.

Sasuke, who had taken two steps back, gritted his teeth and glared with his Mangekyou Sharingan. The black flames that had been burning when he landed transformed into several sharp spikes, piercing through Danzo who was rushing towards him!

Danzo coughed up blood and died again, expressionless.

However, it disappeared the next second, and when it reappeared, it was less than 3 meters away from Sasuke.

"This distance... is enough."

"Take my exact form, Sasuke Uchiha!"

Danzo ultimately believed that controlling Sasuke would solve the problem and gain a great advantage, so he decisively activated Shisui's Sharingan genjutsu Kotoamatsukami.

Although his right eye was still wrapped in bandages, this did not prevent Kotoamatsukami from working.

And it's even more concealed!

As expected, Sasuke was caught off guard and fell into the trap!

But the instant he was hit, it was as if some hidden mechanism was triggered, and a black crow suddenly flew out of Sasuke's body!

That was Itachi's last move for Sasuke.

"That's...impossible!"

Danzo was utterly shocked when he saw one of the crow's eyes.

Because Shisui's other Sharingan is in the crow's eye!

Immediately afterwards, Kotoamatsukami was released again towards Sasuke...

If Danzo's Kotoamatsukami was intended to turn Sasuke into his slave or puppet...

So the Kotoamatsukami that Itachi left behind represents liberation, freedom, and hope!

"No!"

As if realizing something, Danzo, in a fit of shock and anger, threw a Wind Release: Shuriken, instantly killing the crow.

But it was too late; the crow's mission was accomplished.

The new Kotoamatsukami not only altered Sasuke's will but also thwarted all of Danzo's plans.

After a moment of confusion, Sasuke, still not quite sure what had happened, suddenly realized that he didn't seem to hate as much as he thought.

But his instinctive counterattack killed Danzo once again!

Then he noticed the crow on the ground, and the Mangekyou Sharingan in the crow's eye.

"A crow...could it be a weasel? When...?"

Sasuke had no idea when Itachi had planted the jutsu in his body, nor did he understand why it had been triggered and activated just now.

But it's easy to guess that Danzo must have done something beforehand to trigger the backup plan Itachi left inside his body.

In other words, even in death, Itachi protected him once again!

This undoubtedly made Sasuke's feelings incredibly complicated.

He originally stormed Konoha to prove to Itachi that he was right and that Konoha was not worth protecting.

Whether it was what Koharu Utatane and Homura Mitokado had said before, or what Danzo Shimura had just said, it all solidified his idea.

"Impossible! How could Shisui's other Sharingan be on you?!"
