Chapter 41 The entire audience was shocked. Kamizuki took the initiative and attacked Danzo!
"They actually came too!"
"So, everything that just happened was the work of the Uchiha!"
When Danzo saw Fugaku, Shisui, and even Kamizuki, as well as a large number of Uchiha clansmen serving in the Konoha Police Force, his eyes turned icy cold.
His gaze swept over everyone, especially when he looked at Shen Yue. The killing intent that almost overflowed from his single eye was almost tangible, and the already oppressive air around him seemed to grow even colder.
However, considering his status as a high-ranking advisor to Konoha and the leader of the Root organization, he naturally wouldn't argue in public with someone like Shingetsu, whom he considered an immature child.
He slowly turned his gaze, finally fixing it on the leader, Uchiha Fugaku. His voice was hoarse, and he rebuked him with an air of authority: "Uchiha Fugaku, as the captain of the Konoha Police Force and the head of the Uchiha clan, how dare you lead a large number of clansmen to storm the Root organization's headquarters without authorization? What do you intend to do? Are you planning a rebellion?!"
Facing Danzo's questioning, Fugaku did not back down. He stepped forward and shouted just as fiercely, "Rebellion? Danzo! How dare you say that! You secretly dispatched elite Root members to ambush and assassinate Uchiha clan ninjas returning from a mission outside the village, intending to steal the Sharingan! You must give the Uchiha clan an explanation today!"
"You want an explanation from me?" Danzo's lips curled into a cold sneer, as if he had heard some absurd joke.
Leaning on his cane, he calmly retorted, "Oh? I sent someone to assassinate you? Clan Chief Fugaku, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. You accuse me of such a serious crime, where's the evidence? Without evidence, you're slandering the Konoha leadership and disrupting village order! Can you bear that responsibility?"
"You!" Fugaku was speechless for a moment.
He did not have any direct, irrefutable evidence that could immediately convict Danzo.
Mad Bull and Blue Dog self-destructed, and the explosive tags left at the scene were standard products of the Root organization, but this does not directly prove that Danzo himself gave the order.
Danzo is cunning and shrewd; he will surely have countless ways to evade responsibility. Fugaku's anger surged, but he couldn't find a more compelling argument.
"Clan leader, you're truly useless!" Shen Yue couldn't stand it anymore.
He stepped forward and walked to Fugaku's side.
He raised his head, his crimson Sharingan meeting Danzo's single eye without flinching, his voice clear yet undeniably assertive: "Evidence? I am the evidence!"
Danzo seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, letting out an undisguised sneer: "Ha, you little brat, spouting nonsense. Who do you think you are to use this as evidence?"
However, before Danzo could finish speaking, Shingetsu had already moved!
"Who's going to waste my breath on you, you old scoundrel Danzo? Take this!" He didn't bother to waste any more words.
His chakra exploded instantly, his three-tomoe eyes spun rapidly, and a terrifying purplish-red color appeared beneath his skin—the fourth gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Injury, open!
Clang!
The ninja sword is drawn, its cold light flashing!
Shen Yue's figure transformed into a blurry afterimage, and almost at the same time as she finished speaking, she rushed towards Danzo like an arrow released from a bow!
The blade tore through the air, carrying a sharp killing intent, aiming straight for Danzo's throat!
It is a swift and ruthless thrusting technique from the Uchiha-style swordsmanship!
"Oh no, why did Shen Yue suddenly make a move?"
All of this happened so fast!
Even Fugaku and Shisui were caught off guard when Shingetsu dared to attack Danzo in full view of everyone, and with such a decisive and deadly move!
The two men's expressions changed drastically. They wanted to shout or intervene, but Shen Yue's actions were swift and unexpected, leaving them no time to react!
"How dare you attack me?" Danzo was equally surprised! His single pupil contracted sharply, his heart filled with shock and anger.
This evil brat from the Uchiha clan is not only sharp-tongued, but also acts with such decisiveness and ruthlessness, completely disregarding the occasion and consequences!
Faced with this sudden, lightning-fast, and fatal blow, Danzo's rich combat experience allowed him to react instinctively.
He lightly touched the ground with his foot and retreated rapidly like a ghost, while his left hand quickly reached for the ninja tool pouch at his waist!
"when!"
A crisp clang of metal clashing!
Shen Yue's blade was only three inches from Danzo's throat when it was precisely blocked by a kunai that came from the side!
Sparks flew!
It was Danzo! As he retreated, his right hand had somehow drawn a kunai, narrowly blocking the fatal blow!
His reaction speed and precision in striking are worthy of the title of a Kage-level powerhouse.
However, Shingetsu's offensive did not stop! As if he had anticipated that this attack would be blocked, the moment the blade was parried, he flicked his wrist, and the ninja sword slid along the kunai's blade like a serpent, then transformed into a continuous stream of sword light, slashing, thrusting, parrying, and cutting towards Danzo from various tricky angles! Every move went straight for the vital points, without the slightest unnecessary movement, making full use of the Uchiha-style swordsmanship's sharpness and the Sharingan's advantage of insight and prediction!
"Such sharp swordsmanship, and the speed combined with the Eight Gates technique—an ordinary Jonin probably couldn't withstand three moves!"
Fugaku and Shisui watched with bated breath, but could only nod in approval.
Shen Yue's swordsmanship and control of the battle rhythm are indeed far superior to his peers, and even many adult Jonin may not have such precise and ruthless attacks.
After opening the fourth gate of the Eight Gates, his speed and power reached an astonishing level, and his sword light spread like a net, enveloping Danzo within it.
Normally, a Jonin would be forced to kneel immediately in this situation.
However, Danzo is Danzo after all!
Even without relying on his right arm with the Sharingan transplanted into it and Izanagi, his own strength is unfathomable.
Faced with the relentless onslaught of the Divine Moon, Danzo's expression turned solemn as he wielded his kunai, transforming it into an impenetrable defensive net.
"Clang clang clang!!"
A series of dense clanging sounds rang out, one after another, without end!
Ninja swords and kunai clashed, sparks flying everywhere.
Danzo's steps were agile; though he was retreating, every step was incredibly steady, allowing him to dodge or parry Shingetsu's most ferocious attacks with minimal movement.
His single eye was fixed on Shenyue's movements, as if he could predict her next attack.
The occasional counterattacks were also extremely tricky, forcing Kamizuki to defend with his sword.
The two fought swiftly in the open space at the entrance to the Root headquarters, their sword flashes and the cold shadows of kunai weaving into a dazzling battle.
The speed was so fast that many ordinary Chunin and Genin of the Uchiha clan around could only see blurry shadows and sparks, and could not see the specific moves at all.
The God Moon's offensive was relentless, combining the ferocity of the Eight Gates with the exquisite skill of the Uchiha swordsmanship, each strike deadly.
Danzo, on the other hand, remained as steady as a rock, his defense impenetrable, and his occasional counterattacks were like a viper's hiss, dangerous yet precise.
For a time, the two fought back and forth, neither able to gain the upper hand!
The remaining Root ninjas around them were also shocked.
