Both Shika and Sasuke were making their way towards Danzo's office after finally making sure that Karin was safe and escorted out of the root base and the rest of the clones and Shikigami are taking care of the root shinobi.
However, it wasn't that easy as it seems. The clones only acted against shinobi who were not on their path, for the sake of eradicating everyone in the root, maximizing efficiency was the most important. Shika and Sasuke though had to make their way through the main path which leads to Danzo on their own. And they have to be fast, sooner or later they will be alert and this was Danzo's Layer, there is no way to keep that old man here once he decides to run away.
"They are here..." Sasuke said and his Sharingan activated, giving him excellent visual prowess to locate anyone in the dark.
"Yeah..." Shika was the same, this might be the first time after Baki that he would be using his Sharingan in action.
'Monkey, Dragon, Rat, Bird, Ox, Snake....' Snake quickly started to make handsigns, by hand signs alone Shika knew what he was planning on doing.
Just as he was about to complete his handsign for his famous jutsu, Shika grab his hands, stopping him from activating the jutsu.
"What are you doing." Sasuke turn his red Sharingan towards him with a glare asking to provide a good reason what his action.
"Don't waste chakra, you will need it when fighting Danzo, and this enemy are not even worth using Chidori against anyway." Shika said, wouldn't stop him if it was a fire jutsu though but Chidori consumes too much chakra.
Huffing Sasuke just stopped but kept on glaring at Shika like asking to show if he had any better idea.
The Root members were almost upon them and Shika was ready as well.
"A good fighter knows how to take advantage of the terrain." Shika smile a little and observed the narrow cave lane, and clap both of his hands together.
"This jutsu..." Sasuke eyes slightly flicker with recognition and then he just grumbles internally.
"Convergence..." Shika spoke softly, another little binding vow activating opon revealing his next technique and making it slightly stronger, it doesn't matter though none here had any place to hide from what about to come.
Just as those root shinobi were engage in fight with both Shika and Sasuke, a jet of water escape from the tip of Shika's clap's hands like a laser, towards them.
The stream of water was fast enough to pierce the head of the shinobi exactly opposite to Shika in fraction of second before the reason horror begins.
Shika started to move around his hands and started cutting down those root shinobi. Wherever that water steam pass, only body parts seperated and blood sprut out of the shinobi's body. The power of the technique was so that even the wall of the cave and the ground wasn't spared by the laser like cutting power of Shika's water convergence.
With in second the twenty or so Shinobi, having no place to escape were chop down to size of foot balls with blood overflowing all around.
Sasuke on the side just stood there, making no movement but his eyes, his eyes were shaking seeing how powerful this technique was.
For a spilt second this moment reminded him of what took place all those years ago, no this was much worst.
He slowly turn towards Shika and purse his lips, his teeth clench.
'How much more, how much are you hiding. If you are really this strong then why not just go and kill that man....' Sasuke really wanted to asked but he refrained from opening his mouth, becuase now even he was running after the answers more than blood.
'I knew that man who was with that boy who looked like Naruto was familiar. Shika might have realized it as well.
Good thing that I went to him before he was gone for good. All I get was more questions and no answers, however, I now know what I am supposed to do.
I Sasuke will look for answers, find the truth, no like him who only went after revenge and...
... and stay away from that Sakura as much as possible for some reason, what does he mean by not to marry?
"Yo... why the intense look, can't handle gore or something..." Suddenly Shika asked after seeing how serious Sasuke was looking their, making Sasuke get out of his daze and he just turn his head to avoid the eye contact.
"Hm... my fire ball could have done the same..." He grumbles before keep up the pace.
'Hmm... what his problem ?' Shika just sighed and continued to move forward.

Soon they arrived at Danzo's office, it was a gloomy place just like him, but who cares about how it looks like. What matter more was that Danzo was there and in front of him where many of his Root Shinobi.
"Sharingan..." Danzo was composed even after his root base was infiltrated. Even knowing that it was the Nara boy who did was didn't shake him as much it did after seeing Sharingan in Shika's eyes. Though he was still skeptical how Shika got out of Kotoamatsukami but seeing a Sharingan in his eyes, he had his doubts.
"23 guards... really ?
How insecure you have to be..." Shika can't help but roll his eyes seeing just how many root shinobi stood infont of them to protect Danzo.
"I should have known, you are of the evil Uchiha blood. And you... Sasuke Uchiha, you should have died back then with your clan..." Danzo was said, again in his calm tone but there was an strange emotion on them. He was greedily starting at Shika's and Sasuke's Sharingan.
"What do you..." Sasuke was saying but Shika immediately cut him off, asking a question of his own.
"Why the the village do it. Why the upper management of the village wanted Uchiha gone..." Shika never let Sasuke asked who did it. Rather asking in a way that they already know that, but wasn't sure why.
Sasuke glance at Shika for a second, not he was pondering whether Shika already knew about this ? if yes, then why not tell him ?
But Shika had already asked the question, so he didn't say anything, as long as Danzo reply he will get the answer to his question as well.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, why would the upper..." Danzo sly dog still wasn't sprouting out the truth.
"Cut the bullshit, I know the entire upper management was involve, even the Hokage and you. Tell me why they did it, why you asked Itachi to do it..." Shika asked, now his words certainly made Sasuke surprised. His glare intensified at both Shika and Danzo. Clenching his teeth he kept his silence, this wasn't the right time to question Shika about the truth and how much he knew.
Danzo on the other hand didn't spoke for few seconds, like trying to see whether what the boy was staying was something he knew or he was just testing him. Upon seeing no hesitation on Shika, he narrowed his eyes.
"Who told you, I know you come in contact with Itachi... was it him." Danzo said with a threat in his voice.
'Well that much confirm it that it was you... enough for Sasuke I believe. And if now then there are certainly other ways... like poking what he was hiding behind that arm and that one eye of his...' Shika thought, trying resisting the smirk which was forming at the corner of his lips.
"I have my ways, now say it, why Konoha did that to the Uchiha, especially why the upper management is so biased towards the Uchiha," Shika asked again with his chakra flaring up. Now even Sasuke was back to his revenge-crazed state, still now he was holding back partially becuase he had no proof and wanted answers before taking any major actions but now... there was nothing stopping him.
Now, he knew the real culprit behind the Uchiha clan Annihilation.
"I have no answers for you two accursed Uchiha spawns. You have acted against the village, you both will die here..." As soon as Danzo was done talking all the Root shinobi, beside few who remain back to protect Danzo rush at both Shika and Sasuke.
