Chapter 63: Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan [Part 1]

"Danzo-sama, since you mentioned my grandfather, do you not feel any guilt in your heart? As his comrade, you dug out his eyes after he died..."

Shisui became even angrier when Danzo mentioned Uchiha Kagami. He said that it was a complete lie that Kagami could continue to protect Konoha after his death, and that it was shameless for Danzo to take his grandfather's Sharingan. If it weren't for Danzo being an elder of Konoha, Shisui would have used Kotoamatsukami to make him commit suicide.

"You don't understand. Everything I've done is for the good of Konoha. Instead of letting Kagami's Sharingan go to waste in his grave, it's better to place it on my body so that I can continue to protect Konoha..."

Danzo's emotions did not fluctuate at all. In his eyes, everything he did was for the good of Konoha, and only he was qualified to be Hokage. Neither Sarutobi nor the Fourth Hokage were suitable for the position.

"Then please forgive me for not understanding Danzo-sama's way of thinking!" Shisui realized that he couldn't reason with Danzo. Danzo believed that his actions were correct, but in reality, he could even desecrate the body of his comrade. How could someone like that be trusted to protect Konoha?

"It seems that you are determined to die. Originally, I wanted to reattach a pair of Sharingan to you after I took your Mangekyo Sharingan. But now, it seems that it's not necessary!"

Danzo snorted. His original plan was to capture Shisui after he took his Mangekyo Sharingan and reattach a pair of Sharingan to him. Then, he would use Kotoamatsukami to control him and make him work for him. However, Shisui's attitude now made him angry.

"Everyone attack him together and take his Sharingan!"

At Danzo's command, the Root ninjas who surrounded Shisui launched their attacks. Dozens of ninjutsu were released at the same time and attacked Shisui.

The explosions caused by the collision of ninjutsu raised countless smoke and dust where Shisui was. Even Danzo was worried that Shisui's Sharingan would be damaged.

"Susano'o..."

A low voice came from the smoke, and then a green light emerged from the smoke. A huge green skeleton appeared and protected Shisui. At the same time, it brought a great psychological pressure to the Root ninjas and Danzo.

"Huff...huff..."

Shisui was panting heavily. Originally, Susano'o was a dojutsu that required two Mangekyo Sharingan to be used together. Using Susano'o with only one eye was completely squeezing his life force, using his life as a price to exchange for temporary power.

"Is this the strongest dojutsu of Mangekyo Sharingan? Susano'o...but it's not enough, it's still a little bit short..."

Shisui muttered to himself. He was too naive to think that he could escape from Root Base and Danzo with so many elite Root ninjas. However, he still wanted to try. Even if he had to risk his life, he couldn't let both of his Mangekyo Sharingan fall into Danzo's hands.

Shisui opened his left eye wide, and the pattern in his eye spun like a windmill. Blood vessels kept appearing in his eyes, making it seem like his eyes would burst at any moment.

"I must hold on. I can't give up on myself before everything is done..."

With a low roar from Shisui, his chakra and Mangekyo Sharingan's power began to output frantically. Blood flowed from his left eye, and drops of blood fell from his chin to the ground.

His eyes hurt, as if a knife was constantly stirring inside them. In addition to the excessive squeezing of his own chakra, his meridians felt like they were being torn apart. However, Shisui smiled.

"Susano'o, second form, completed..."

Chakra quickly spread on the original green skeleton, forming muscles and skin. When Shisui stopped, Susano'o, which was originally just a skeleton, had become a warrior wearing armor. However, this warrior only had the upper part of his body, and no legs.

"This is the same power as Madara Uchiha's? Mangekyo Sharingan, you belong to me!"

Danzo looked at the huge Susano'o holding a spiral sword, his face full of greed. When he was young, he heard almost all the legends about Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha. When he was very young, he had a longing for that kind of power. Later, after the battle between Senju Hashirama and Madara Uchiha at the Valley of the End, Senju Hashirama died of his injuries shortly after returning. When he studied under Senju Tobirama, he learned more about Madara Uchiha's information. He coveted that power that could rival Senju Hashirama for countless years, and now, he was finally going to get it.

"Long-range attack, hold him down. With his current condition, he can't hold on for long!"

The Root ninjas who realized that Shisui was in a bad situation immediately moved away from him. Those who didn't have time to dodge were instantly torn into pieces by the flame hurricane.

"Susano'o, ninety-nine..."

With a thought from Shisui, the chest armor of Susano'o opened, and countless green chakra arrows shot out. In just a short moment, Danzo's subordinates were already heavily injured or dead.

The huge pressure on his body made Shisui unable to hold on any longer. Seeing that the Root ninjas were staying away from him, Shisui smiled. He made a hand seal and a clone that looked exactly like him appeared behind him. The clone quickly rushed towards the Uchiha clan's residence, while Shisui himself stood in front of the Root ninjas with Susano'o.

"Kill him quickly. Don't let him use his clone to report to the Uchiha clan!"

Danzo urged them and began to make hand seals to summon a Summoning Beast to attack. If Shisui's clone reported to the Uchiha clan, they would be in trouble. To prevent this from happening, they had to kill Shisui, and the clone would disappear naturally.
