After completely trapping Danzo Shimura and his companions, Kaito Uchiha formed hand seals again, and the Sharingan in his red eyes spun.
His immense and pure mental power, activated by the Sharingan, easily eradicated the weak souls of the bugs.
Large swaths of black insects fell from the air, covering the ground beneath his feet.
"How can this be..." Torune struggled to speak, "The Sharingan... killed my bugs directly..."
"It seems you are Kaito who took Sasuke Uchiha away," Danzo tried to probe, "Now that you have obtained the Sharingan, leave quickly. Do you want to face the entire village's siege?"
Kaito sneered, disdainfully looking at the bloodied, one-eyed, and utterly disheveled Danzo Shimura, casually responding, "No need to worry about me, Danzo-sama."
"My subordinates have been unresponsive for so long, it seems you brought reinforcements." Anger surged in Danzo's single eye, "Is it Itachi Uchiha? Or, is it Madara Uchiha?"
"Oh?" Kaito raised an eyebrow, "It seems you know quite a lot. When did you meet that man who claims to be Madara?"
"Of course, it was when the Uchiha clan was annihilated." Danzo provocatively replied, "The destruction of the Uchiha clan was personally carried out by him and Itachi Uchiha. I arrived later only to clean up the aftermath."
"So, you're saying the Uchiha clan's downfall had nothing to do with you?" Kaito asked, his smile implying skepticism.
"Of course. At that time, I was following the Third Hokage's orders, waiting for negotiations with the Uchiha." Danzo claimed boldly, "Unexpectedly, Itachi Uchiha followed Madara's instructions and acted directly, killing all his clan members."
"Is that so." Kaito took a few steps forward, taking a small bottle containing a Sharingan from the tray in his clone's hand to examine it closely, "Then why did they leave these Sharingan eyes for you?"
"That's because I arrived with my men in time; they hadn't had the chance to clear the battlefield."
"Utter nonsense!"
Izuna's condemning voice sounded, and he, along with Chiri, materialized beside Kaito.
He took the bottle containing the Mangekyo Sharingan from the tray, asking darkly, "Kid, why waste words with him? Whose eye is this?"
"I don't know." Kaito shook his head, looking again at Danzo, "Can you enlighten us, Danzo?"
However, Danzo was somewhat surprised by the two new Uchiha figures, one male and one female, each holding a blood-stained long sword, obviously having fought recently, implying the members of the Foundation at the base might already be dead.
What he couldn't accept was that he and his two subordinates hadn't sensed any disturbance.
Moreover, he had no recollection of the male Uchiha, but the woman seemed somewhat familiar.
"Are you... Chiri Uchiha?" He looked at the woman holding the blood-stained long sword with a gentle smile in shock.
"Where did you obtain the Reanimation Jutsu?" He questioned Kaito again, "Did you make a deal with Orochimaru, the traitor, Uchiha's remnants?"
"Whether I did or didn't isn't your concern. I have no intention of telling you." Kaito was running out of patience with the old man's meddling, "You need to understand, you are now the prisoner, Danzo."
"Sorry, I'm not inclined to leave the Leaf just yet." Kaito looked back at his predecessors, "As long as we control these people, we might gain more in the future."
"Whether they live or die doesn't matter to me. Finish it with Danzo, Chiri-sama." His expression was ruthless, "Just make sure the body remains intact."
Chiri frowned slightly, voicing her concern, "Kaito, are you intending to dabble in those forbidden jutsu?"
"Don't worry." Kaito reassured her with a smile, "I won't indulge in such things; after all, I've discovered better techniques."
Chiri nodded, "I believe you."
Her gaze returned to Danzo Shimura, as if wanting to say something, but ultimately she remained silent, simply walking forward silently with her sword.
"What are you doing! Scoundrels!"
"Let go of Danzo-sama! You traitors of the Leaf!"
Torune and Fū struggled and shouted.
"Do you seek to take my life?" Danzo remained relatively calm, "The Uchiha have always been a thorn in the Leaf's side."
"No, this is personal." Chiri raised her sword towards his heart, "I'm merely seeking revenge for myself."
Danzo's pupil dilated slightly, "I remember you died in the Uchiha clan's internal strife, what does that have to do with me!"
"It does." Chiri's sword precisely pierced his heart, "Because of the Mangekyo's special ability, I didn't go to the Pure Land after death but became a ghost wandering in the clan, thus knowing everything."
"Danzo..." As blood soaked the white paper enveloping him, Danzo tried to speak, blood continuously spilling from his mouth, "Everything I did... was for... the Leaf..."
"Maybe so, but what does that have to do with us?" Kaito stepped forward, looking puzzled.
With a cough, more blood spurted from Danzo's mouth, and he slumped, motionless.
"Danzo-sama!!"
"Danzo-sama! You bastards! Traitors!"
Torune and Fū watched helplessly as Danzo was killed, only able to shout in vain.
"Eh? Traitors?" Kaito pointed at himself in surprise, then quickly waved his hands, "No, no, I was never a ninja of the Leaf, so I can't be called a traitor. And Chiri-sama and Izuna were summoned by me, so they don't count either."
"Hmph, you sure talk a lot." Izuna gave him a contemptuous look, "And I was never a Leaf ninja."
"Alright, alright, I'll stop." Kaito raised his hands in surrender, "Let's make it quick for them."
Then he prepared to form hand seals again.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Two flashes of white light, and both Torune and Fū's necks bore a line of blood.
"You two..."
Did you have to be so eager?
And why didn't you act earlier?
Waiting until I was all set up just to act first, what's the meaning of this?
Kaito lowered his hands with a resigned look, "Having fun?"
"Fun." Izuna answered decisively.
Chiri, on the other hand, returned to her gentle smile.
