Just after Ryōsuke Uchiha finished making his threats, he exploded forward like a cannonball. In an instant, he was right in front of Danzō, raising his leg and kicking out fiercely.
With extreme power and extreme speed, he didn't need much technique anymore.
Danzō looked horrified; he could only see the opponent's blur. However, knowing that shadow was Ryōsuke Uchiha, he could only subconsciously raise both arms in front of him to block this sudden attack.
As soon as they made contact, he felt a terrifying force acting on his hands. It caused his arms to bend, and his body flew out like a cannonball, smashing hard into a towering tree.
The tree snapped in half at the waist, but the impact force on Danzō hadn't fully dissipated. He continued to crash into the trees behind him at high speed, snapping several trees in a row before finally stopping.
The heads of the various clans were all shocked seeing this scene.
They knew Danzō's strength well. Even compared to the Third Hokage, he wasn't much weaker. He was a top expert in the village. But under Ryōsuke Uchiha's terrifying speed, he was sent flying in an instant.
More frightening was the result of this strike; Danzō would be heavily injured if not dead. They realized just how terrifying the power Ryōsuke possessed was. Is this the power of the Eight Inner Gates?
The Third Hokage was equally shocked, but also furious inside.
This guy actually dared to attack Danzō right in front of him; he really didn't put the Hokage in his eyes. Looking at the exposed back of the opponent, a surge of hatred rose in his heart.
After doing such a thing, even if he executed the opponent publicly, no one should say anything.
He took a kunai from his ninja pouch and gripped it tightly in his hand. Moving his legs, he rushed directly towards the opponent, aiming to stab the heart, the vital point.
Although he had undergone days of beatings during training and his body was severely injured, he could still barely manage to attack with full force. No matter how physically strong a ninja was, it was impossible to defend against a kunai with just flesh and blood.
But just as his attack was about to hit Ryōsuke, and his heart was already unable to contain the excitement, a hand directly grabbed the kunai he was holding.
The Third Hokage was horrified, but since he had decided to strike, there was absolutely no talk of stopping halfway. He pushed forward with both hands with all his might, but even enduring the pain in his body and using all his strength, he couldn't advance another inch.
'This guy has such strong power.'
He didn't expect that after opening the Eight Inner Gates, the opponent's strength would be so terrifying that he could even parry a surprise attack.
At this moment, Ryōsuke turned his head, looked at the Third Hokage, and spoke coldly.
"Third Hokage, are you trying to sneak attack me?"
"That's a bit too despicable."
The Third Hokage, however, felt there was nothing wrong with his actions.
"You bastard, you actually dare to attack Danzō in front of me. You are too presumptuous."
Hearing this, Ryōsuke knew the other party was determined to stop him from pursuing Danzō. He didn't hesitate and delivered a whirlwind kick directly at the Third Hokage.
It caused an air blast around the Third Hokage's body, his eyes bulging out. The Third Hokage instantly felt immense pain in his body, as if he had been struck by an incredibly hard pillar.
He flew out like a cannonball, leaving long gouges on the ground as smoke rose up.
Seeing the Third Hokage kicked down by Ryōsuke, the clan heads felt a bit angry.
"Ryōsuke Uchiha, you dare to attack the Kage of the village? Do you really want to rebel?"
More and more people glared at Ryōsuke Uchiha with grave expressions.
Ryōsuke, however, was not polite to their gazes at all.
"Do you want to stop me too? If so, step forward, and I will give you the same treatment as the Third Hokage."
Even those who wanted to make a move against Ryōsuke had their anger extinguished instantly. Although the opponent's behavior was indeed attacking the Third Hokage, it was, after all, the Third Hokage who attacked first.
Looking at the Third Hokage lying on the ground in the distance, in too much pain to get up, they didn't dare to target Ryōsuke anymore.
The Third Hokage was the strongest person in the village, yet even he was down after a single blow. Even Shimura Danzō from earlier was still motionless; even if not dead, he was surely critically injured.
The two strongest experts in the village, with the most seniority, couldn't even withstand a single blow in front of Ryōsuke.
Although some clan heads had always supported the Third Hokage, when they thought about risking their lives to deal with this guy, they decided against it. Most of them weren't fools; they knew the higher-ups were targeting the Uchiha Clan. They just hadn't expected the Uchiha Clan's strength to be so powerful, to the point where they dared to fight back openly.
As for Danzō, most of them disliked him. The Third Hokage wouldn't even let Danzō verify his bandaged right arm. On this point, they did not agree with the Third Hokage's view. Saying it contained Konoha secrets—wasn't that just lying with his eyes open?
Seeing that they dared not speak anymore, Ryōsuke prepared to chase after Danzō.
But at this moment, two masked figures in black appeared in front of the crowd. They took off their masks to reveal their faces: Uchiha Shisui and Uchiha Itachi.
Uchiha Itachi's face was full of anger. He had just seen Ryōsuke attack the Third Hokage, kicking him flying with a single blow. Daring to attack the leader of the village—if this wasn't rebellion, what was it?
He immediately shouted in anger.
"Ryōsuke Uchiha, you bastard, attacking the Third Hokage, are you trying to lead our clan on the path of rebellion?"
Ryōsuke ignored his thoughts completely. He turned to leave. If Itachi dared to intercept him, he wouldn't mind giving him a hard punch.
Seeing Ryōsuke wanting to leave, Uchiha Itachi became even more furious.
"Shisui, you saw it too. This bastard is leading our clan on the path of rebellion. Capture this guy immediately, or even put him under control."
He was already hinting for Shisui to quickly use that invincible eye technique to control Ryōsuke Uchiha. He did not wish for the Uchiha Clan to go down the path of rebellion.
How could Shisui not know what Itachi meant? Although he saw what happened, it was only a fragment of the events. They didn't understand the reason why Ryōsuke took action.
He spoke helplessly.
"Ryōsuke, please give us a reason."
Ryōsuke, who wanted to chase Danzō, stopped in his tracks. He was still willing to give Shisui face; he had a feeling that Shisui wasn't the blindly loyal type. Following the Uchiha Clan could also bring peace to Konoha.
