62 Chapter 62: Profitable trade

At the Nara clan patriarch's residence it was shortly after dinner time.

"Mom, is there someone outside?"

Shikamaru's ears caught onto some noise.

He was curious and wanted to open the window to see what was happening.

However, a hand started gently pushing it closed, whenever he tried.

His mother, Yoshino Nara, came over and slapped him on the back of the head and said,

"What are you doing!? Back to bed!"

Shikamaru clutched his sore head and glanced at the clock on the wall.

He muttered,

"It's not even 8 o'clock... I'm going, I'm going!

He gave up the idea of arguing after noticing his mother looked as if she was going to eat him alive.

Best to admit defeat and go for a tactical retreat.

Shikaku sat in the living room with a series of documents and various other pages in front of him.

He was silent and uncertain about what was happening.

He had a few hunches but nothing concrete that he knew with absolute certainty...

…

…

Currently everything was progressing differently than in the original book, where the Root, Itachi and Obito singlehandedly slaughtered the entire Uchiha clan.

The sharingan possessors were in a state of combat readiness, and as such would not be as helpless as they could have been.

In face of Konoha's high pressure, created by numbers and greater strength, they showed great resistance.

It was astonishing how the Uchiha clan was a collection of ninja that could fight above their levels.

Their patriarch Fugaku Uchiha, was a prime example of this, he had completely surpassed the four elders initial estimations of his strength.

Boom——! ! !

A flaming grey giant made from Chakra stood near the center of the Uchiha clan's forces

Every single slash unleashed by the demon harvested tens of lives of the villages Anbu.

Susanoo!

This monstrous construct closed the remaining power gap between the two forces.

"Fugaku! You actually had a mangekyo sharingan!?"

Koharu yelled with fire in his eyes.

The other three were also stunned from fright.

Even if others had suspicions of a mangekyo sharingan, they didn't think it would be true.

What they found even more ridiculous was how an elite Jonin like Fugaku could become a slaughter machine strong enough to slaughter most Kage level ninja.

"I awakened these eyes in the Third Ninja War, I hoped I would never have to use them. But I didn't expect I would first be forced to use them against the Hokage... Ahh!

At the end of his speech, Fugaku yelled in pain as blood poured out of his eyes. He was suffering from the side effects of excessively overdrawing from his Chakra circuits. The damage done to his eyes wasn't much better.

Blood dripped out from the corner of his mouth as the Demonic creature protecting him started to dissipate.

"I need those eyes!"

Danzo radiated excitement at the power given to the wielder of the red eyes.

Just imagining all the things he could do with them made him lose his patience.

He leapt towards Fugaku like a spring,

"Wind Style·Vacuum Serial Waves!"

From Danzo's mouth wind that was shaped like a blade cut towards the defenseless Patriarch.

"Fugaku-sama!!!"

Despite being in more worrisome situations, many of the Uchiha screamed in fear.

"You four fools!!! Even If I die, I will drag you all to hell with me!"

Fugaku, with his bottomed out chakra, disregarded his body begging him to stop and forcefully drew out more chakra to fuel his Dojutsu.

Once again, the not long forgotten susanoo emerged from his body. With a single punch it smashed the wind blade, before performing a left hook and slamming Danzo into the ground.

"Haha!

Arisu Uchiha laughed in ectasy ignoring his broken arm.

"Kill Danzo!!"

"Show these bastards the might of the Uchiha!"

"Ha, you weak ninja lackeys! We'll crush you like your elder over there!"

"Kill! Kill them all!"

The remaining Uchiha yelled out cries of war.

They knew that winning this battle was impossible, but their pride prevented them from giving up.

Their new goal was to kill as many running dogs from this hateful village as possible.

Their prime targets being Hiruzen, Koharu and Homura. The three elders.

However, as they celebrated the death of Danzo, the ground under the great susanoo become muddy.

"That was risky. I didn't think he would be so desperate to use his own lifeforce as a replace and use that technique again."

Danzo, who they thought to be dead had reappeared next to Hiruzen and squinted his eyes at them.

A random Uchiha shouted in disbelief.

"How is he still alive!?"

His clan mates were equally as stunned.

They could see with their sharingan that Danzo had certainly died.

A veteran that had fought in wars shouted in rage.

"That was Izanagi!"

The anger of the Uchiha rose exponentially, the patriarch had handed them this technique recently and taught them how to use it.

He had hoped to increase everyone's survivability, in front of an event that could potentially end with their clan's extinction he was willing to pull out forbidden techniques.

Fugaku was furious,

"Danzo! I'm going to kill you!!"

Danzo let out a sneer and watched from the side.

"Let's see how long you last with that meager amount of chakra. I bet you won't be able to unleash susanoo again."

He knew thanks to his teacher that his ninjutsu would not be capable of breaking through the Uchiha's defense.

But it wasn't like his opponent was Madara Uchiha, he could just send his dogs to go clean out the trash.

They were replaceable anyway and were worth much less than his future pair of eyes.
