Sarutobi Hiruzen stopped with a group of Anbu ninjas about ten meters away from Uchiha Chisen and Danzō.
At this moment, he was completely stunned.
He was sure that Chisen, with his Sharingan's superior dynamic vision, couldn't have failed to see him after he had rushed over with so many Anbu.
To prevent the escalation of armed conflict between the two sides, he had just shouted at Chisen to "wait a moment."
Sarutobi Hiruzen was certain and believed that Uchiha Chisen had heard him before piercing Danzō's body with his magma arm!
However...
It seemed that Uchiha Chisen didn't pay any attention to his existence or command as Hokage.
"Stop Chisen!"
Although Sarutobi Hiruzen was extremely angry about Danzō's actions, it didn't mean he wanted Danzō dead. Seeing that Uchiha Chisen was really going to kill Danzō, Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately gave instructions to the Anbu ninjas in this critical moment.
Just as the Anbu ninjas were about to charge forward...
They discovered that Danzō, whose body had been pierced by the magma arm and who seemed to be on the verge of death, had suddenly escaped Uchiha Chisen's fatal blow in a very strange way.
In front of a crowd of Konoha ninjas, the charred hole in Danzō's chest suddenly disappeared! Even the torn clothes on his chest had been restored to their original condition!
It was as if the thrilling scene that had just occurred was merely an illusion.
Even Sarutobi Hiruzen couldn't help but be stunned.
...
"Izanagi!"
On the other side, Fugaku, who had also witnessed this scene, took a deep breath.
He had already learned from Chisen that Danzō possessed a large number of Sharingan and also knew the secret technique Izanagi.
But knowing and witnessing it with his own eyes were entirely different.
"Lord Fugaku..."
At this moment.
A member of the Konoha Military Police Force brought by Fugaku said in shock, "The Sharingan are embedded in that guy's arm, aren't they?"
The voice of this Konoha Military Police Force member caused the other Uchihas to focus their gazes on Danzō's very strange arm.
Their faces were instantly filled with astonishment and disbelief.
Fugaku's heart skipped a beat.
He vaguely regretted bringing his clansmen to the scene.
Yes.
Although he had obtained intelligence about Danzō's Sharingan from Chisen, Fugaku had not shared this intelligence with his clansmen.
Because he knew that if the hawk faction Uchihas in the clan learned about this, their ideas would become even more radical. At that time, the conflict between the Uchiha and the higher-ups would become even more irreconcilable, which was something Fugaku did not want to see.
Therefore, on this matter, even though Fugaku himself felt very aggrieved, he still chose to remain silent.
But he never expected...
That Danzō would openly expose the Sharingan on his entire arm to everyone's eyes!
...
"Meow! Finally arrived..."
Kijiro breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Uchiha Chisen unharmed. "Fortunately, Lord Chisen is alright."
Then, he complained to the panting girl behind him, "Newbie, you're too weak! Running so slowly, you're holding me back."
Izumi was momentarily embarrassed to the point of wanting to disappear. She was a ninja who was relatively good at taijutsu and had already given her all.
As a result...
While rushing to support senior Chisen, she could only see Kijiro's cat tail from afar.
She could barely be a tiny bit faster than Kijiro's cat descendants.
Izumi also quickly looked at Uchiha Chisen.
"Senior Chisen and his enemy..." she clicked her tongue, gazing at the devastated scene ahead, not finding a single intact house. "What kind of great battle did they go through?"
She then shifted her gaze to Danzō.
The dense and extremely conspicuous scarlet Sharingan immediately caught Izumi's attention.
She couldn't help but gasp.
...
At the same time.
Yamanaka Inoichi, standing behind Sarutobi Hiruzen, silently looked at the Yamanaka Clan's compound, where not a single house was intact, and his fists clenched unconsciously.
"Ino..."
Yamanaka Inoichi, disregarding the tense atmosphere at the scene, walked alone directly towards the Yamanaka Clan's compound, which had turned into ruins.
His daughter, his wife, and some members of the Yamanaka Clan... were temporarily taking refuge in an underground secret room at the base when Shimura Danzō and Uchiha Chisen engaged in a physical confrontation.
But now, the scene of devastation made him doubt if the underground secret room was still safe.
"Root..."
Gazing at the ravines carved into the ground by wind blades.
Yamanaka Inoichi knew without thinking that this was Danzō's doing!
...
"The Sharingan of the Uchiha Clan..."
On the other side, ninjas from the Hyuga Clan also arrived. Leading them was the head of the Hyuga Clan, "Hyuga Hiashi," whose gaze was also drawn to Danzō's very strange arm.
The scene was even clearer through his Byakugan.
Hyuga Hiashi's expression shifted slightly. He couldn't help but subtly shift his hesitant and confused gaze towards Uchiha Fugaku.
He saw that the Uchiha ninjas were all shocked.
The Uchiha ninjas, like him, seemed utterly bewildered by Danzō's Sharingan. They had no knowledge of it.
That meant...
Hyuga Hiashi's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of wariness in his gaze. His renewed look at Danzō now revealed a sense of distance.
Moreover.
It wasn't just Hyuga Hiashi who became wary of Danzō; all the Konoha Kekkei Genkai ninja clans who arrived here felt some unusual emotions and thoughts due to Danzō's bizarre arm.
...
Focused on by countless gazes, Danzō already had the urge to kill.
His secret had been completely exposed in the silent stillness!
An arm transplanted with numerous Sharingan couldn't be hidden.
Even if he quickly wrapped it with bandages now, it would only be a futile attempt to conceal it.
Danzō glared viciously at Uchiha Chisen. His veins throbbed on his arm from clenching his fist too tightly, and countless negative thoughts flashed through his mind.
It was all the fault of this wicked Uchiha brat!!!
Why couldn't he just die quickly!!!
Just as Danzō took a step, Sarutobi Hiruzen's stern shout made his expression darken: "Danzō! Do you know what you've done tonight? Konoha was almost destroyed by you! Look at the 'good deeds' you've done!"
"I gave you a warning last time! Do you not heed my orders as the Third Hokage?"
Before Danzō could grit his teeth and speak.
Suddenly.
An extremist Uchiha ninja, overcome with emotion, directly bypassed the clan head Fugaku and angrily pointed at Danzō's arm, demanding, "Where did you get these Sharingan of yours! Did you hunt our Uchiha clan ninjas to take their Sharingan?"
"Otherwise, how could Uchiha Chisen have gotten into a fight with you? That kid has the ability to see through evil! He must have seen through your wickedness and that's why he clashed with you, right!"
The barrage of questions from the extremist Uchiha instantly enlightened many Uchiha, igniting their emotions.
They all had one thought that they couldn't suppress their anger: Shimura Danzō was suspected of hunting the Uchiha Clan's Sharingan!
Their gazes towards Danzō were filled with rage.
Many Uchiha clan ninjas even placed their hands on their sword hilts.
The already tense atmosphere became even more volatile.
