After a brief analysis of the situation, Shinji shifted his focus entirely to Danzo, ignoring the surroundings.
In the earlier battle, he had been trying to decipher the mechanics of 'Izanami no Mikoto' and its ability to distort fate.
For anyone else, attempting to analyze the Uchiha clan's forbidden technique with mere eyes would be wishful thinking.
But Shinji was different!
With his 'Six Tomoe Rinnegan,' he was likely the strongest dojutsu user in the current shinobi world, so details imperceptible to ordinary people or even most dojutsu Bloodline Limit shinobi were laid bare before his 'Six Tomoe Rinnegan'!
"Denying with extreme mental fortitude, huh?"
Shinji thought to himself.
Through his observation, he realized the essence of 'Izanami no Mikoto' was denial!
Denying the reality that had already occurred!
Denying the outcome of death!
Denying the consequences that had taken place!
In essence, this forbidden technique used extreme idealism to combat the reality that fate had already begun weaving.
And the cost was the consumption of a single Sharingan, the eye that reflects the heart!
Realizing this, Shinji couldn't help but marvel inwardly: "This is the Uchiha clan! A shinobi clan so extreme they can even deny a reality that has already happened!"
He didn't know who developed 'Izanami no Mikoto,' but he could imagine the creator must have endured some profound, heart-wrenching pain, driving them to want to tear down and rewrite reality!
On the battlefield.
Danzo's expression was not only fearful but also showed signs of exhaustion.
Continuously activating 'Izanami no Mikoto' not only consumed the Sharingan on his right arm but also drained his own chakra reserves significantly.
After dying multiple times, the chakra left in his body was nearly depleted.
"How is this possible!?"
Looking at Shinji approaching again, Danzo couldn't help but feel dazed.
He couldn't believe that despite paying such a steep price, he hadn't even managed to kill Uchiha Shinji, let alone force him to reveal his Mangekyo Sharingan.
Indeed, at this moment, he was utterly convinced that Shinji must have secretly awakened the Mangekyo Sharingan. Otherwise, it was hard to explain how Shinji could be this strong!
Whoosh!
Using the Twelve Palaces' Seventh Form: Shrink Step, Shinji closed in on Danzo at a speed akin to teleportation.
Thud, thud, thud.
After a brief taijutsu clash, Shinji, with overwhelming taijutsu prowess, first broke Danzo's left arm, then reached out, grabbed Danzo's neck, and snapped it, killing him once again!
This was the seventh time he had killed Danzo.
And as the number of kills accumulated, his efficiency in killing Danzo grew higher!
At the start, he needed to combine ninjutsu and ninja tools, but now, he could easily kill Danzo with taijutsu alone.
At that moment, Danzo's corpse with the broken neck vanished like a mirage once more.
In the distance.
Ringo Ameyuri declared firmly, "This is definitely not some Substitution Jutsu!"
"Mm!"
Darui, with a solemn face, nodded lightly beside her.
Initially, they were just watching the spectacle, and since Shinji hadn't asked them to intervene, they were happy to stay out of it.
But as Danzo revived time and again, their attention gradually shifted to 'Izanami no Mikoto.'
Ringo Ameyuri continued, "Shinji doesn't seem surprised at all. I suspect he knows something!"
Darui, staring at Danzo's arm full of Sharingan, murmured, "Another one closed!"
Prompted by Darui, Ringo Ameyuri quickly looked over, her expression tightening: "Could it be related to the Sharingan?"
Darui sighed, "A weird technique like this being tied to the Sharingan isn't surprising at all!"
On the other side.
Homura Mitokado said gravely, "We can't let them keep fighting, or Hidden Leaf will become the laughingstock of the entire shinobi world!"
"I agree!"
Koharu Utatane nodded, taking a stance.
She had to make her position clear now, or it might give the impression to outsiders that she was instigating Uchiha Shinji to attack Danzo.
After all, Shinji was still nominally her disciple and direct Anbu subordinate.
"Mm!"
The Third's attention had been fixed on Danzo's right arm, and as he saw the seventh Sharingan close, he slowly nodded.
Like Tsunade, he was both furious that Danzo was stirring internal conflict at such a time and shocked that Uchiha Shinji had grown to such a level unnoticed.
Thus, all the Hidden Leaf shinobi's gazes fell on Tsunade, the current Hokage, awaiting her command!
On the battlefield.
Shinji's lowered gaze lingered on the spot where Danzo's corpse had vanished, thinking to himself, "Failed, huh…"
Undoubtedly, during his last kill of Danzo, he had secretly tried to interfere with Danzo's 'Izanami no Mikoto' using his own dojutsu power.
Whether because Danzo had already activated 'Izanami no Mikoto' beforehand or because his interference method was off, Danzo had once again narrowly escaped.
Turning his head, Shinji looked at the newly revived Danzo and began walking toward him.
At this point, Danzo had completely lost his will to fight. Just moments ago, when activating 'Izanami no Mikoto,' he noticed his chakra consumption had suddenly spiked, draining nearly all the chakra left in his body in an instant.
He didn't know if this was a side effect of repeatedly using 'Izanami no Mikoto' or if Shinji had done something to him. But that didn't matter anymore—his priority now was to survive!
Casting aside his pride as an elder, he looked directly at the Third in the distance: "Hiruzen, are you just going to stand by and watch Uchiha Shinji's treasonous insubordination?"
Seeing the usually unyielding Danzo suddenly show weakness, the Third knew Danzo had reached his limit.
Tsunade no longer hesitated: "Move!"
No matter what Danzo had done, as the Hokage, she couldn't allow him to die at Shinji's hands in front of everyone.
Because if that happened, not only would Danzo, Hidden Leaf's advisor elder, become a laughingstock in the shinobi world, but the entire Hidden Leaf leadership would lose all authority. So, whether she wanted to or not, she had to act to stop Shinji from publicly executing Danzo.
Swish, swish, swish.
In an instant, as Tsunade moved, a large group of Hidden Leaf shinobi joined the fray!
Tsunade and Koharu Utatane positioned themselves directly between Shinji and Danzo, while the Third and Homura Mitokado stood by Danzo's side.
Kakashi, Shizune, and a group of jonin and Anbu spread out around the perimeter, subtly surrounding Mumei, Haku, and Karin!
Looking at Shinji, Tsunade said, "Shinji, that's enough!"
Kakashi quickly added, "Sasuke's fine, you don't need to worry!"
Koharu Utatane also urged, "It's all a misunderstanding, don't act rashly!"
Sasuke, lacking strength, had been branded a traitor and was still bound in prison, yet here he was, being told it was all just a misunderstanding.
"This is the double standard, isn't it!"
Shinji laughed.
