Chapter 12 - Chapter 12 Darkening: Uchiha Shisui

At this moment, without the barrier, Hiruzen Sarutobi could clearly see every move of the Uchiha.

"All Anbu, attack with full force! First objective, destroy the Space-Time Ninjutsu!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi continued to issue orders.

Although he really wanted the Uchiha to die, he knew that destroying this Space-Time Ninjutsu was the most important thing.

But now, he felt that this attempt had probably failed, as the vast majority of the Uchiha Clan had already left Konoha.

In the future, hunting them down would require unknown amounts of manpower and resources, and a highly threatening enemy would emerge. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel some regret.

If he had chosen to negotiate peacefully with the Uchiha back then, would the outcome have been better?

"Uchiha Shisui, surrender!"

Shisui was surrounded by over a dozen Root Ninja.

Danzo was hidden in the shadows.

He had set his sights on this prey and naturally didn't want to let him go.

He wanted to obtain those perfect Mangekyo Sharingan.

He already knew the current situation; capturing all the Uchiha was impossible, so he gave up on eliminating the Uchiha and focused solely on Shisui.

"Haa… haa…"

Shisui was panting heavily.

Tears of blood from his right eye formed a crimson trail at the corner of his eye.

Green Susanoo bones were attached to his body; he had expended a vast amount of chakra and couldn't maintain the Susanoo's complete form indefinitely.

He had held back the vast majority of enemies, allowing his clan members to escape.

However, the main reason for his immense consumption was his unwillingness to harm Konoha Ninja, so his expenditure was much greater than if he had simply eliminated his opponents.

"Why? Why won't you let the Uchiha go?!"

"We just want to leave; we don't want to be enemies with Konoha!"

Shisui stared intently at the person in Anbu attire in the distance.

Although Danzo had concealed himself, Shisui still discovered him.

However, this was just a Shadow Clone. Danzo was very wary of Kotoamatsukami, so he wouldn't easily expose his main body.

"Uchiha are inherently evil and don't deserve to exist in this world."

"Death is the Uchiha's only destination."

"Shisui, you have failed my expectations. If you had listened to us, things would never have come to this point."

Danzo's Shadow Clone no longer hid, stepping forward to face Shisui, speaking with extreme coldness.

At this moment, Shisui was surrounded by over a dozen Root Ninja. Danzo also had four elite Ninja hidden, waiting. Shisui had no escape!

"You chose to stop me instead of pursuing the others. Your target is my eyes, right?!"

"What a pity. The Kotoamatsukami you desire, that Mangekyo, is no longer on me."

Shisui said with a slight smile.

But Shisui's words instantly enraged Danzo.

"Sharingan!"

Danzo's Shadow Clone unhesitatingly activated his Sharingan, directly locking onto Shisui's eyes.

He found that only the right eye was a Mangekyo, while the other was a Three Tomoe Sharingan, just like his own.

"Where did you hide my Mangekyo Sharingan?!"

Danzo couldn't contain his anger and directly questioned Shisui.

"Sharingan!"

"Indeed, everything is as Tamahiko-ge said."

"You have betrayed the trust of the past Hokage and used Konoha to strengthen your own clan!!!"

Upon seeing Danzo's Sharingan, Shisui also became enraged.

At this moment, he could barely believe that he had trusted such a person not long ago.

If Uchiha Tamahiko hadn't come to him, it seemed he truly would have been ambushed and killed by this guy, and the Uchiha Clan would have been annihilated with him!!

"Capture him! Don't kill him! Find out where the other Mangekyo Sharingan is!"

Seeing this, Danzo knew Shisui wouldn't tell him directly.

But he truly desired the Mangekyo Sharingan, so he wanted to capture Shisui alive and slowly interrogate him about it!

"Danzo, only you!!"

"I will never forgive you!"

Shisui stared intently at Danzo's Shadow Clone.

"Earth Release: Swamp!"

"Lightning Release: Lightning Net!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

But the surrounding Root Ninja had already made their move.

They released restrictive Ninjutsu, used nets, and steel wires, all aiming to capture Shisui.

However, they missed entirely.

The title of Shisui of the Body Flicker wasn't for nothing.

"Amaterasu!!"

Uchiha Fugaku's eyes were streaming with tears of blood.

He unleashed the Mangekyo power he had always hidden, holding nothing back, only wishing to save more of his clan members.

He wanted to use the flames of Amaterasu to create a strong wall for his clan members' retreat.

With a glance, the once familiar streets were completely covered in black flames.

Many Anbu who tried to rush forward could only stop in their tracks.

After all, over a dozen Anbu had been hit, and there was no way to extinguish the flames; they could only watch helplessly as they were burned to death.

"All retreat!"

After unleashing Amaterasu, Fugaku felt his body drained.

But he still held on, giving the order directly.

"Captain, let's go together!"

The surrounding Uchiha Clan members were also mostly injured, with not a single one in good condition.

"Hurry up, don't waste time! Only when you've gone can I leave!"

Fugaku said angrily.

Seeing this, these people could only run towards the portal without looking back.

Approximately ten seconds later.

"Puff! Puff! Puff!"

The ground was dug with holes by the Anbu, avoiding direct contact with the Amaterasu flames. The Anbu still broke through the defensive line.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

Uchiha Fugaku no longer hesitated.

He unleashed a powerful Fire Release, directly igniting the surrounding houses, and then retreated without hesitation.

Since they were leaving, these houses were useless anyway. At this moment, they were put to good use, used to block Konoha's forces.

"925, 926"

Uchiha Tamahiko stood at the entrance of the portal, counting how many clan members had entered.

They were still about twenty people short of everyone.

"They're here! The people from the Clan Head's side are all coming!"

An Uchiha responsible for sensing, who was nearby, told Uchiha Tamahiko.

"Cover them!"

Uchiha Tamahiko ordered.

He had left five Three Tomoe clan members around him, all top-tier Jonin in terms of strength.

Hearing Uchiha Tamahiko's command, they also acted without hesitation, using the Uchiha's most proficient Fire Release to ignite the surrounding houses, creating obstacles and covering the retreat of others.

"Everyone, enter through this portal."

Uchiha Tamahiko also took action, swiftly throwing out a dozen Kunai.

Then, with three hand signs, he directly activated Lightning Release, forming an electric net to block the Anbu's pursuit.

He only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Uchiha Fugaku appear.

"Earth Release: Great Earth River Flow!!"

However, at this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi also rushed over.

He immediately used an Earth Release, targeting the portal directly
