Chapter 52: Konoha Will Become History
Village edge, Root base.
The air was thick with the heavy stench of blood, mixed with the acrid odor of scorched earth and burnt bodies.
Broken kunai were deeply embedded in the ground, shuriken blades curled and deformed, scattered in pools of blood.
Charred Fire Style traces remained on the walls. Several Root ninja corpses lay sprawled in the corridors on both sides, masks shattered, revealing hollow eyes—as though unable to understand until death why they'd been defeated so thoroughly.
Yasushi stepped through sticky bloodstains, advancing slowly. His Sharingan glowed crimson in the dim corridor, Mangekyo slowly rotating, coldly surveying the surroundings.
The Human Path walked alongside him, expressionless, treating the corpse-strewn ground as though it didn't exist.
"Root's rats still love hiding in shadows so much." Yasushi muttered lowly, his voice carrying a trace of disdainful mockery.
Before his words finished, a black shadow suddenly dove down from the ceiling, kunai stabbing straight toward his back!
Yasushi didn't even turn his head. He merely shifted slightly aside. His right hand precisely seized the ambusher's wrist, lightly twisting—the crisp sound of shattering bones rang out.
That Root ninja grunted. Before landing, Yasushi's left-hand kunai had already shot out like lightning, piercing through his throat.
"Pfft..."
As the kunai withdrew, blood from the neck gushed out, splashing across the wall. The corpse softly collapsed.
"Boring tricks."
Yasushi shook off the blood on his hand and continued forward.
The Root base's interior terrain was narrow—no room to activate Susanoo. But the Mangekyo Sharingan's enhancement of Uchiha was comprehensive. For this level of assassination, it merely consumed some time.
Root ninja were excellent at assassination. If they kept harassing from the shadows, even if Yasushi could eliminate them, it would definitely take more time.
But to protect Root from invasion, previously massive numbers of Root ninja had run outside, engaging Yasushi and his companion in frontal combat.
The result of using their weakness against his strength was that these ninja, who might each possess unique skills, were completely eliminated by the two before getting chances to display their abilities.
At the corridor's end stood a heavy iron door engraved with sealing jutsu formulas.
This was Root's secret technique. Yasushi didn't know the solution, but it didn't matter. His Mangekyo slightly rotated. Behind him, an energy arm skeleton materialized from nothing, heavily bombarding the iron door.
With a thunderous boom, the sealing jutsu formula shattered inch by inch. The iron door burst open. A pungent preservative smell rushed forth.
Yasushi stood at the doorway, looking around. Inside were neatly arranged wooden shelves displaying various experimental materials. Some were in glass containers, others soaked in jars, and many more casually placed.
But these weren't Yasushi's purpose for coming. He stepped inside, his gaze falling on the stone platforms behind the shelves. Several complete corpses were prominently displayed there.
Their eyes had long been gouged out, leaving only hollow sockets.
These were all Uchiha clan members!
Yasushi's pupils suddenly contracted. His fingers trembled slightly.
"As expected... that old bastard Danzo..."
His voice was low and cold, killing intent solidifying like substance in the air.
"Hehehe... Yasushi, I knew you'd definitely come here."
A cold laugh came from the darkness. The sound of a cane striking the ground gradually approached. A figure slowly emerged from the shadows.
Half his body was wrapped layer upon layer in white bandages, his right eye covered tightly, left arm hanging at his chest, his entire body exuding both decayed and dangerous aura.
Precisely Konoha Village's Root leader, one of the masterminds behind the Uchiha massacre, the Konoha elder who inherited the Second's isolation policy philosophy—Danzo Shimura!
"I truly didn't expect an ordinary jonin like you could also awaken these eyes."
Danzo's voice was hoarse and sinister, his single eye filled with greedy light.
"That night, we shouldn't have left you, this fish that escaped the net!"
"Hiruzen is still too kindhearted! Since we acted, we should have committed full force, completing everything in one stroke. The result of being indecisive was letting you, this sole survivor, luckily escape!"
"Truly the evil Uchiha!"
"Look at these losses you've brought Konoha Village!"
"Even offering your life isn't enough to compensate the village's losses!"
"Hiruzen's mistake, today I'll correct it!"
"I'll let you know—the village isn't something you mere Uchiha can overturn!"
"Hehe... hahaha..." Yasushi covered his forehead with his hand, laughing wildly toward the sky. "Danzo Shimura, you frog at the bottom of a well!"
"You still don't understand your situation even now?"
"Since I've appeared before you, today is your death day!"
"And this damned Konoha Village—from today forward, it will become history!"
"You must firmly remember!"
"The Uchiha established Konoha Village!"
"The Uchiha will also eliminate Konoha Village!"
The Mangekyo in Yasushi's Sharingan spun wildly. Tremendous chakra erupted like raging waves. Blood-red energy skeleton rose from the ground. Flesh and armor rapidly covered it, finally transforming into a colossal energy warrior rising up.
Susanoo!
Ordinary Mangekyo Sharingan had structural defects. After much use, ocular power would deplete, leading to blindness. But this defect could be remedied by fusing blood relatives' Mangekyo Sharingan, evolving into Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan's ocular power could automatically recover without depleting, and the eyes wouldn't go blind.
Yasushi didn't have blood relatives' Mangekyo Sharingan, but his left eye's ocular technique "White Rabbit of Inaba" could repeatedly heal damage from using the Mangekyo Sharingan. Through healing again and again, it repaired the defects within the Mangekyo Sharingan.
Previously, he'd repeatedly used ocular techniques for extended periods to replenish Nagato's life force. Now he'd thoroughly evolved both eyes into Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan.
After obtaining Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, the most obvious result was—he could shape Susanoo's entire body.
With legs, Susanoo's frame enlarged another circle, height more than doubling.
Such a massive energy giant immediately pierced through the entire Root chamber, directly penetrating the heavy Root base dome.
Rocks shattered, steel beams twisted. The entire underground base was forcibly torn open with a massive breach under violent power.
Daylight poured down like a waterfall, piercing the long darkness, illuminating this bloody chamber brilliantly. Dust churned in the light beams, like countless tiny stars floating in the air.
Danzo instinctively squinted, very unaccustomed to this brightness.
But he had no time to adapt. Susanoo's massive fist descended from above, like a gigantic judgment hammer, smashing through Root's sunless dome and directly bombarding toward his head.
"Die, Danzo!"
