Danzo indeed had some trump cards in his hand, but in front of the current Shinji, those trump cards were not enough to be taken seriously.
Even with Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan containing 'Kotoamatsukami', as long as Shinji was careful, it wouldn't cause much trouble.
The reason Shinji didn't let Sasuke take action was for only one purpose.
That was, since Danzo used the righteousness of the village to force Itachi Uchiha to exterminate the entire Uchiha clan, he would use the righteousness of the village to force Hidden Leaf ninjas to deal with Danzo.
In this process, if the Uchiha intervened, even just throwing a kunai at Danzo, he would consider it his loss.
What he wanted was an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!
The melee not far away was still ongoing.
As Danzo started killing with 'Wood Release', the surrounding Hidden Leaf ninjas no longer held back, using their full strength one after another.
Soon, the atmosphere on the battlefield gradually returned from the previous restraint to the bloodiness and cruelty a great battle should have!
Various ninjutsu and ninja tools roared on the battlefield, shrieks and shouts intertwined, just like the night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre back then.
"This is more like it!"
Shinji grinned slightly.
He wouldn't expand the situation indefinitely just to avenge the extermination of the Uchiha clan. After all, the extermination of the Uchiha clan back then was inseparable from the arrogance and indecisiveness of the Uchiha decision-making layer.
But several ringleaders must be eliminated!
The Third Hokage was the Hokage at that time, the highest authority in the village. He sat back and watched the situation escalate, allowed Shisui to be sneak-attacked by Danzo, detonating the conflict. Even if these were not his subjective will, he at least had to bear the responsibility of inaction.
This was also the reason Shinji sat back and watched him die at the hands of Orochimaru.
Shinji wouldn't actively retaliate against him, but at critical moments, don't expect Shinji to risk exposing himself to save him. Just as he was unwilling to consume his prestige to stand out as Hokage to suppress the conflict between the Uchiha and the village back then.
As for Danzo.
On the night of the massacre, he led a large number of Root members to guard outside the Uchiha clan grounds, appreciating Itachi Uchiha completing the extermination, and finally entered to calmly clean up the mess, collecting pairs of Sharingan from those corpses unable to resist on the ground.
So Shinji took Mumei and Sasuke to watch the battle from the side. This time he wouldn't intervene either. He wanted Hidden Leaf ninjas to capture Danzo and obediently send him to his front.
Only in this way could it be considered revenge!
"Ahhh..."
At this time, Danzo's wailing suddenly came from the field.
Shinji, who was slightly distracted, looked towards the sound and found many trees and vines growing wildly from Danzo's body.
Undoubtedly, as Danzo continuously activated 'Wood Release', the Hashira cells in his body originally suppressed by Sharingan began to show signs of going berserk.
Shinji was not surprised because this was a matter of course.
Danzo's situation was different from all other transplanters of Hashira cells.
Yamato's transplant surgery was actually not successful. His utilization rate of the Hashira cells implanted in his body was very low, but the advantage was very high stability.
Yakushi, Karin, Mumei, Shinji, and even Obito used the method of balancing Yin and Yang to catalyze the 'Power of All Creation', so the utilization rate was the highest and the state was the most stable.
And Danzo obviously went into a misunderstanding. He blindly used Sharingan to suppress the Hashira cells implanted in his body. He neither thoroughly mastered the Sharingan nor subdued the Hashira cells, let alone dared to try to fuse the two.
So when the two barely reached a mutually restrictive balance, they could live in peace. But once this fragile balance was broken by external factors, the rampage of Hashira cells was inevitable.
Moreover, true Uchiha like Obito, bloodline limit ninjas with high-quality Yin Release chakra like Yakumo, and ninjas with Sage Body like Karin were implanted with diluted Hashira cells mixed with White Zetsu cells.
Danzo, with his aged body, possessing neither bloodline limit with Yin Release chakra nor Sage Body with Yang Release chakra, transplanted the original Hashira cells right from the start. Being able to survive was already considered lucky for him.
Taking advantage of the rampage of Hashira cells in Danzo's body, Sealing Squad ninjas hurriedly stepped forward to perform sealing jutsu on Danzo.
"Four Symbols Seal!"
Instantly, ink-colored sealing formulas wandered out from between the palms of Sealing Squad ninjas pressed on the ground, climbing flexibly onto Danzo's body.
In just a blink of an eye, Danzo's body was covered with ink-colored sealing formulas.
And as the sealing formulas of the 'Four Symbols Seal' spread all over his body, Danzo half-knelt on the ground with a thud.
His entire body's chakra was confined by the sealing jutsu, and even the rampage of Hashira cells in his body was temporarily contained.
Hidden Leaf ninjas were still worried. Regardless of dignity, they directly chained Danzo firmly, dragging him to Shinji: "Sir, Danzo has been captured!"
Shinji nodded, looked at Danzo indifferently, with no triumph of a victor on his face, nor the arrogance when Uchiha gained power.
Looking exhausted, Danzo looked up at Shinji and roared: "You can't kill me! Even if I am a removed advisory elder, I once held the position of advisory elder. If you dare to kill me privately, Tsunade and others won't let you off!"
He didn't choose to perish together using the 'Reverse Four Symbols Sealing' like when facing Sasuke and Obito in the original timeline. Besides the sudden rampage of 'Wood Release' in his body disrupting his rhythm just now, another reason was his wishful thinking that Shinji dared not kill him privately.
In his narrow view, Shinji had managed to rebuild the Hidden Leaf Military Police Force with difficulty and climbed to the high position of Military Police Force Captain. At this time, he should cherish his future and dare not risk universal condemnation to privately kill him, the former advisory elder of the village.
Shinji smiled slightly, then under everyone's gaze, raised his hand towards Danzo's right eye tightly bound by bandages.
"You..."
Guessing what Shinji was going to do, Danzo was instantly shocked and angry.
But due to the seal, at this moment, let alone activating pupil techniques, even mobilizing chakra was extremely difficult for him, completely unable to stop Shinji from doing anything.
Swish...
Shinji quickly and accurately gouged out the Mangekyo Sharingan originally belonging to Shisui Uchiha from Danzo's right eye socket under the bandages.
"Ahhh!"
Danzo shouted in pain.
The gazes of surrounding Hidden Leaf ninjas were instantly attracted. Immediately after, everyone found that what Shinji dug out from Danzo's right eye was actually a scarlet Sharingan, so they consciously looked away one after another.
Danzo transplanting Sharingan was no longer a secret after the battle in front of the hospital last time. So seeing Shinji retrieve the Sharingan belonging to the Uchiha from Danzo, everyone didn't feel it was excessive.
