Fugaku ignored the Third Hokage's words and quickly walked out of the conference room. Ryōsuke was already about to execute Danzō. Although it was justified in name, the ninjas of the village could not possibly stand by and watch. The Third Hokage would likely even summon personnel to help Danzō.
He had to return to the clan and bring his clansmen to assist in the battle. Even if this might cause a fierce battle between the clan and Konoha. But Ryōsuke had already taken action. If they were going to rebel, then they would rebel; what was there to fear?
Seeing that Fugaku ignored him and even left, the Third Hokage had a bad premonition in his heart. 'Don't tell me he went back to the clan to find reinforcements.'
Things hadn't reached the worst stage yet. He turned to the various clan heads present and ordered, "Everyone, chase after those two immediately. Stop Uchiha Ryōsuke from attacking Danzō."
He couldn't just let Danzō die at the other's hands like this. Danzō really stood no chance against Uchiha Ryōsuke. Danzō was truly a useful tool for him. If the Uchiha Clan dared to deal with Danzō, would they dare to directly attack him, the Third Hokage, in the future?
Hearing the Third Hokage's words, some of the people present hesitated. That Uchiha Ryōsuke was not only a master of Taijutsu, but he had even unlocked the Mangekyō Sharingan and that terrifying Susanoo. Could they really stop him if they went up there? And all for the sake of Danzō.
However, the other portion immediately followed through the large hole in the conference room and chased directly after them. Because they had shared interests with Danzō, they did not want any problems to befall him. If Uchiha Ryōsuke killed him, everything would be too late.
The other clans had no goodwill toward Danzō. Over the years, Danzō had demanded so many talented clansmen from them to join Root. After these people joined Root, it felt like they had been brainwashed and had no loyalty left to their families.
Having the geniuses that the family spent so many resources to cultivate taken away like that—who wouldn't be angry?
But after hesitating for a moment, they decided to go and support, after all, this was the Third Hokage's order. Of course, they would absolutely not put in much effort; it was impossible for them to risk their lives for Danzō.
Among them, Hyūga Hiashi was also a bit helpless. Although he spoke up for the Uchiha Clan in this clan head meeting, he was only speaking out of fairness; it didn't represent that they supported the Uchiha Clan.
Ryōsuke's current actions were truly a bit impulsive and inadvisable. A civil war in the village would benefit no one. So he also chose to go and support; if he could persuade them, he would, and if not, then so be it.
After all, Ryōsuke was too strong. The scene of the opponent defeating the Third Raikage was still deeply circulated in his mind.
The Third Hokage was also very regretful in his heart right now. If it weren't for the beating training he underwent for a few days leaving his body injured, he would have rushed out long ago to stop Uchiha Ryōsuke from committing murder. But he decided to slowly follow behind.
On the other side, Danzō, who had run out long ago, did not stay near the Hokage Building outside. Instead, he ran into the forest in the outskirts.
Ryōsuke, who followed, had already deactivated Susanoo. Looking at Danzō who had stopped in front of him, he was very puzzled.
'Why did this guy run here?'
Danzō in the original plot acted the same way. When he encountered the squad led by Sasuke during the Five Kage Summit, this guy ran away. Then he was found and killed.
If he had chosen to stay at the Five Kage Summit venue back then, at least someone could have helped him. The other four Kage wouldn't have just watched Sasuke's squad kill Danzō right in front of them.
Now this guy had also run out; Ryōsuke really didn't understand his thinking. Although staying in the Hokage Building wouldn't have prevented Ryōsuke from attacking Danzō, at least Danzō wouldn't be isolated and helpless.
At this moment, Danzō looked at Uchiha Ryōsuke and said coldly, "The audacity. You actually dared to chase me here. Do you really think you are invincible?"
His arm was transplanted with over a dozen Sharingan, and each one could use Izanagi. This was the ultimate Dōjutsu of the Uchiha, capable of turning unfavorable events that happened within a certain period into things that never happened, selecting only favorable events to become reality.
This was equivalent to him having over a dozen extra lives. Could he still lose to the opponent? Perhaps he could even seize the opportunity when the opponent was careless to snatch that pair of eyes.
Such a pair of eyes should belong to him. Taking those eyes here, no one would have any objections; after all, attacking him, a Consultant Elder, was a crime punishable by death.
Ryōsuke narrowed his eyes slightly. 'This guy actually still has the courage to face me.'
Reasonably speaking, he should know about Ryōsuke's performance in the battle against Cloud Village, and Ryōsuke even had a pair of Mangekyō Sharingan active. Did he have some trump card to face him?
But this guy died even when facing the future Sasuke. How could he possibly have a chance of winning against Ryōsuke? Despite this, he decided it was better to be a little careful.
"Since you've been sentenced to death, you should obediently accept it."
It was also a good time to test his next stage of Susanoo. He channeled chakra to his eyes, making them even more crimson.
Thick bones slowly grew out around his body, gradually forming a skeletal frame and a skull. But this time, it didn't stop there. As he further transported chakra, the skeletal giant grew meridians and flesh, and was wrapped in a chakra coat.
This was the Susanoo Second Form. It was taller and larger than the previous first state Susanoo, and far more intimidating.
Now, it looked like a massive blue giant, resembling a small mountain. It even held a large cleaver; this was the exclusive weapon belonging to Ryōsuke's Susanoo Second Form.
Seeing such a massive Susanoo, Danzō was even more astonished in his heart. 'Have those eyes already been developed to this extent?'
It wasn't far from the level of Uchiha Madara. Truly a pair of good eyes.
The greed in his heart grew. If he obtained those eyes, his strength would be greatly enhanced. He stretched his neck and took a deep breath; the visible airflow was sucked into his mouth.
"Wind Style: Vacuum Serial Waves."
Immediately, he spat out several wind blades resembling kamaitachi from his mouth, heading toward Uchiha Ryōsuke. This was a Wind Style ninjutsu he had mastered. Its cutting power was astonishing; it could even cut through Susanoo.
But what he absolutely didn't expect was that his powerful cutting ninjutsu actually only left a few cutting marks on Susanoo. It didn't even break through the thick outer layer of chakra protection.
Danzō was stunned. He was confident that the power of this move was strong enough to cut a huge rock completely intact. He didn't expect the opponent to actually defend against it; the defensive power was truly amazing.
Facing the opponent's attack, Ryōsuke didn't even use the large cleaver to block. He just wanted to test exactly how strong his Susanoo's defense was.
Susanoo not only had immense attack power but also super strong defense. Now it had been tested; at the very least, his current Susanoo was stronger than Sasuke's first form Susanoo. One had to know that in the original work, after Danzō used this move, he directly broke through Sasuke's Susanoo.
A look of mockery appeared on his face. "Your attack isn't much, is it? Now it's my turn to attack."
Chakra surged and directly covered that large cleaver. He violently swung out a chakra slash rushing toward Shimura Danzō.
Shimura Danzō dodged that blue chakra slash by a hair's breadth. Although it didn't hit him, the friction of the air caused terrifying scrapes all over his body.
Looking again at the damage caused by this strike, a huge fissure had cracked open on the ground.
He couldn't help but be startled in his heart. If he took that move head-on, he would definitely be finished.
The next time he dealt with this move, if he couldn't dodge it one hundred percent, he would have to use Izanagi in advance to feel at ease.
