Chapter 21: Think Whatever You Want!

"Yo, everyone's here. Have you had breakfast?" Itsuki walked over with a smile and waved.

His gesture resembled a military inspection.

Fugaku looked around, his gaze briefly pausing on the masks of the corpses, and slowly said, "Itsuki, you..."

The masked ninja was clearly from the Root.

Itsuki was fighting with the Root?

Had they completely fallen out?

This thought spread in the minds of many people.

"I was playing hide-and-seek. If I caught someone, I'd use a ninjutsu," Itsuki said with a grin. "How about it, Clan Leader? Do you want to join in? It's more fun to play together."

He emerged from the bloodbath.

Surrounded by ninjas with gruesome deaths, Itsuki's appearance was exceptionally handsome, and the sunlight shone down, giving him a bloody beauty.

Like... a demon king of salvation.

A suffocating sense of oppression emerged.

Everyone held their breath slightly, their eyes filled with shock.

Inoichi Yamanaka murmured in a low voice, "Strong, very strong, extremely strong."

His voice was soft enough for the two people beside him to hear.

Shikaku Nara looked at his old friend, his eyes slightly narrowed.

This was the first time he had heard such an evaluation from Inoichi Yamanaka's mouth.

Inoichi Yamanaka was one of Konoha's most renowned sensory ninjas.

However, Uchiha Itsuki, this person, seemed very dangerous no matter how you looked at him.

Suddenly, Inoichi Yamanaka whispered again, "Someone is coming, it's Danzo!"

"Uchiha Itsuki!"

An angry roar sounded.

Danzo, surrounded by several Root ninjas, arrived at the scene. Seeing the corpses and blood all over the ground, the veins on his forehead bulged.

These were his Root ninjas!

His elite subordinates!

This time, he had sent twelve Root members to capture Itsuki.

Among them, four were Jonin, and the other eight were Special Jonin, accounting for one-third of the high-end power of his Root!

They were all dead just like that.

His heart ached.

Danzo's whole body trembled, his eyes filled with hatred as he stared at Itsuki, as if he wanted to tear him apart.

At the same time, there was a hint of fear deep in his eyes.

Uchiha Itsuki, even though he had lost the Mangekyo Sharingan and had even become blind, was actually this strong?

This guy had hidden himself very deeply.

Itsuki looked at Danzo with a smile and said, "Lord Danzo is here too. Please wait a moment, I'm almost done, just a little bit more."

He turned his gaze towards the last Root ninja.

"One minute, no, just a moment!"

The Root ninja shuddered and rushed towards Danzo, "Lord Danzo, save me."

"Clap!"

Itsuki clapped his hands together.

The hand seal was simple.

One breath was enough!

"Uchiha Itsuki, stop!"

Danzo roared furiously, "Attack! Kill him for me!"

"Hmm?"

These words made the Uchiha ninjas present raise their eyebrows.

The other Konoha ninjas were dumbfounded.

Wow!

Openly clamoring to kill the genius of the Uchiha clan?!

And it was Uchiha Itsuki, who was currently in the spotlight.

Lord Danzo, you were a bit arrogant.

And!

Were you sure you wanted to do this?

Because of Itsuki and Shisui's injuries, there were quite a few Uchiha ninjas here.

At least enough to beat Danzo and his Root.

Now Danzo had blatantly given the order to kill.

This was completely disregarding the Uchiha!

Even Fugaku Uchiha, who was usually tough internally, had a face full of anger.

The Uchiha were ready to fight at any moment.

Unfortunately, they didn't have the chance.

"Fire Style: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Itsuki used Fire Style on the last Root ninja.

A surge of chakra erupted from Itsuki, causing the sensory ninjas present to momentarily suffocate.

An endless sea of fire spread.

The surrounding temperature began to rise.

The ultra-high temperature caused the nearby trees to catch fire.

Not to mention ordinary ninjas, even the Uchiha, who were skilled in Fire Style, were retreating continuously.

They stared at the blazing flames that seemed to burn the world, dumbfounded.

Uchiha Setsuna murmured, "Fugaku, does your Great Fire Annihilation have this kind of power?"

Fugaku's face was solemn, and he didn't say a word.

Silence was the best answer.

While everyone was shocked, someone suddenly exclaimed.

"Where's Danzo?"

Someone had a strange expression.

Although Itsuki's Fire Style was directed at the Root ninja, the direction the Root ninja was running towards was Danzo.

In the end, Danzo bore the brunt of it all!

Fugaku's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth unwillingly, "Save him!"

"No need!"

Inoichi Yamanaka had a strange expression and said, "They're coming out."

As he finished speaking.

"Boom!"

Two figures rushed out of the sea of fire.

Everyone focused their eyes and saw that it was Danzo.

However, Danzo was in a miserable state at the moment.

There were large burns on his body.

His face was blackened.

It was truly blackened, smoked.

His crutch was long gone.

There were still flames on the bandages on his face.

Under everyone's gaze, his hair caught fire.

The Root ninja beside him was in an even worse state, to put it simply: there was the aroma of roasted meat coming from him.

Look, the chubby guy from the Ino-Shika-Cho trio was drooling.

"Huff, huff!"

Danzo gasped for breath, his expression, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at the sea of fire.

A figure flickered in and out of sight.

Uchiha Itsuki!

If it were just a Great Fire Annihilation, it would have been impossible for Danzo and his Root to be in such a sorry state.

The key was the brief exchange between Danzo and Itsuki in the sea of fire.

Danzo wanted to take advantage of the cover of the sea of fire to kill Itsuki.

Who would have thought that it would instead result in the loss of several Root members around him.

Was that the Body Flicker Technique?

No!

It was simply... the Yellow Flash!

"Tap, tap, tap!"

Footsteps sounded.

Itsuki slowly walked out of the sea of fire.

With his steps, the sea of fire seemed to make way for him.

Finally!

He left the sea of fire and stood in front of Danzo, looking at him with a smile.

"Yo!"

Yo your grandma.

Danzo gritted his teeth so hard they could shatter, saying hatefully, "Uchiha Itsuki, you attacked a high-ranking Konoha official, the Hokage's advisor. Do you want to betray the village?"

"Think whatever you want."

Itsuki stretched his body and muttered to himself, "It's been a long time since I've had a good workout. Hmm, it feels good. Life truly lies in exercise. The ancients did not deceive me!"

He turned and left.

"Itsuki, where are you going?"

Fugaku subconsciously asked.

"Going home to sleep."

Going home... to sleep?

Danzo was dumbfounded.

The people around were also stunned.

The hospital was bombed!

More than ten Root members were dead!

Even Danzo was injured.

After causing such a big commotion, you were just going to go home and sleep?

"Uchiha Itsuki!!!"

Danzo roared.

Uchiha Itsuki's disregard made him feel humiliated.

"Shh!" Itsuki turned his head, looked at Danzo with a smile, and made a silencing gesture, saying, "Stop yelling, or I'll have to kill you."

Danzo said coldly, "Do you want to betray the village?"

"Think whatever you want."

It was still the same casual sentence.

Then, he turned around proudly and left.
