Shimura Danzo's mind was somewhat fragmented.
Perhaps it's due to the aftereffects of previously being trapped in the restricted Tsukuyomi Genjutsu.
If only Akihara Kagura were not so young, Shimura Danzo might have even felt as if his entire life had been manipulated by Akihara Kagura.
"Hmph..."
"Talking about taking care of me in old age..."
"All the while planning to put me to death..."
Shimura Danzo muttered while slowly unwrapping the bandages on his body: "On your first day before me, you acted as if you'd follow only my orders, but secretly you disobeyed my commands, you must have been planning for today already?"
"It can't be helped."
Akihara Kagura shook his head, sighed: "I've even fantasized about pledging my loyalty to Lord Danzo, but thinking about it makes me feel sick; besides, Lord Danzo's actions concerning Yao Shidou and Dean Yakushi Nonou defy humanity..."
"Because they know too many of Konoha's secrets."
Shimura Danzo shook his head, sighed: "Without using ruthless measures, we can't achieve the goal of protecting Konoha..."
"Lord Danzo."
Akihara Kagura interrupted Danzo, smiled helplessly: "We could use such rhetoric to deceive others, and they might just laugh it off; but deceiving ourselves is meaningless. Everyone here is from Root, no need to say such self-deceiving words..."
"..."
Shimura Danzo glared hatefully at Akihara Kagura.
This bastard!
How dare he question my dedication to protecting Konoha!
"If you truly wanted to protect Konoha..."
Akihara Kagura noticed Shimura Danzo's shocked and angry gaze, asking him a fatal question: "Why did you participate in the Konoha collapse plan with us? Lord Danzo, you should be more aware than anyone of Orochimaru's threat, correct? Did you not conspire with him as well?"
"..."
Shimura Danzo was surprisingly unable to retort!
However, the elderly man quickly found a chance to counterattack, speaking solemnly: "I always believed that those Double Bloodline Ninjas were experiments created by the monkey, I was merely seeking justice, never expected you to secretly frame me..."
"What makes you think you can reclaim justice?"
Akihara Kagura pointed at the surviving Uchiha, countering: "Who will reclaim justice for them? Ask Second Hokage Lord Tobirama for justice?"
"Taking a step back..."
"You always say, ninjas need to sacrifice themselves."
Akihara Kagura looked at Shimura Danzo, his gaze filled with mockery: "Lord Danzo, why can't you sacrifice your own reputation?"
"If you willingly bore the infamy of conducting experiments on Double Bloodline Ninjas illegally, how could I have had the opportunity to provoke enmity between you and the Third Hokage?"
"At most, I could just kill you to obliterate your corpse..."
"..."
Shimura Danzo was practically speechless.
"..."
Even Yamanaka Fuu, standing behind Akihara Kagura, felt a bit speechless, couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, immediately restrained by Aburame Torune's warning gaze.
"To say it plainly."
Akihara Kagura stared coldly at Shimura Danzo, who was at a loss for words: "You always believed ninjas need to sacrifice themselves because it's others who sacrifice, as long as it isn't yourself sacrificing..."
"You wicked little brat!"
Shimura Danzo's eyes twitched with anger, seeming to be struck at a sore point, coldly scolded: "You're just resentful Uchiha remnants hidden in Konoha, what right do you have to say I won't choose sacrifice!"
Shimura Danzo spoke while yanking open his collar, revealing the dark curse marks on his chest, appearing somewhat noble and righteous: "Don't think I fear death, my sacrifice will be reserved for the most crucial moment!"
"..."
Akihara Kagura looked at the curse marks on Danzo's chest, frowning.
"..."
Shimura Danzo recalled the teachings left by Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, a determined look flashed in his eyes: "I've indeed made big mistakes, hesitating at critical moments, but this time I will not err..."
Like now!
Like now utilizing this deadly move to perish together with Akihara Kagura and the remaining Uchiha, eradicating all potential threats in the darkness to Konoha!
Shimura Danzo's chest black curse marks suddenly activated, spraying black liquid like a showerhead, splattering all over the corridor floor of Root Base!
This is Shimura Danzo's killer move, the Inner Four Symbols Seal Jutsu!
Once this jutsu is activated, all the blood in Shimura Danzo's body will spray out, and the engraved Inner Four Symbols Seal curse marks will rapidly expand, sealing everything within the range completely!
This Root Base...
Will be completely destroyed by the Inner Four Symbols Seal!
Whether it's Akihara Kagura...
Or the spies behind Akihara Kagura, Aburame Torune and Yamanaka Fuu...
Including those Uchiha remnants who survived the night of massacre, all of them threats to Konoha, will be destroyed here!
In this moment, Shimura Danzo even had a feeling of mission.
Root was founded by him, this Root Base was built by him, Akihara Kagura was brought back to Konoha by him, all of this originated from himself...
