Chapter 31: Desperate beast
As everyone was listening to Hiruzen asking Danzo to unveil his eye and arm and prove his innocence. I was keeping an eye on Danzo because I sensed something wrong with his silence.
Danzo, like any other being when cornered finally decided to bite back , I noticed how he looked deeply at Fugaku still intercepting his way and next thing you know he took a deep breath , which seemed like he wanted to say something but to everyone's surprise he issued an 'ATTACK' order to his root Anbu.
At the same time he exhaled and I saw an air blade heading my way, and I instantly understood that he was aiming to use me to distract Fugaku, but it wasn't going to work because I easily side stepped out of the way of the very fast air blade.
Unfortunately for the man behind me, his fate wasn't as nice as mine.
He looked very different than everyone else; his eyes were obscured by dark glasses which feature a single tassel hanging down from one-side. He has very spiky short black hair and a moustache. And he was sitting with his hands in the pockets of the white high collared outfit he was wearing.
This was Shibi Aburame, a Jonin and the head of Konoha's Aburame clan.
Shibi didn't have enough time to react properly, he barely tilted his body and instructed the special insects he keeps inside of him to block the attack and absorb the chakra from the air blade to lessen the damage as much as possible.
Even though he was able to weaken the air blade. It wasn't enough to stop it completely and he ended up losing his left arm before the now much weakened attack was stopped by another Jonin behind him.
This was the power of the Shimura Danzo that still retained some of his youth. A fully fledged Kage level ninja.
And now this same ninja was being evenly matched and even suppressed a little by a red eyed man. It was Wicked Eye Fugaku.
Even without using his Mangekyo Sharingan he was still very strong, deserving of his nickname and position as the Uchiha clan head.
The meeting room was wrecked and before long, Fugaku dodged one of Danzo's punches and retaliated with a kunai stab to throat at the now unbalanced Danzo.
Yet Danzo easily dodged it by blowing air out of his mouth causing Fugaku to miss and he used retreaded the air pressure to retreat, but before he could react, Hiruzen quickly did some hand seals causing a pillar of earth to appear from the ground beside Danzo's leg and it connected with his side sending him out of the Hokage tower with Hiruzen and Fugaku following after him.
As for the root members, they were quickly being apprehended by the collaboration of the clan heads and the Anbu that guards the Hokage tower excluding the injured Shibi Aburame.
Meanwhile I also followed after Danzo and when Hiachi noticed this, he decided to follow to protect me just in case, and he did just that because the moment I jumped out of the tower, a root member that was hiding tried to ambush me but was intercepted by Hiashi using the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm sending a compressed chakra attack blowing the root member away while sealing some of his chakra channels.

I simply continued without even looking at the root member from start to finish which perplexed Hiashi but he simply followed while thinking ' Did he allow himself to be ambushed just to test me? Or does he trust me that much?' but no one answered his doubts...
Meanwhile in the battle between Fugaku, Hiruzen and Danzo. Hiruzen summoned a monkey named Enma that turned into a round black staff with gold edges, his famous weapon.
While he did this Fugaku quickly weaved some hand seals before he sent a huge fire dragon at Danzo.
Danzo quickly jumped out of the way but he quickly saw that Hiruzen's staff is expanding and is about to hit him while Fugaku was also running his way so he dodged the staff and quickly took out a Shuriken which he breathed into coating it with very sharp wind chakra almost like Naruto's Rasenshurikan Jutsu and threw it at Fugaku.
Just as he was doing this Fugaku appeared from under him and slashed his right leg off before Danzo could retreat.
Indeed, the Fugaku rushing at him was only a shadow clone and was dispelled after it was hit by his wind imbued shurikan.
At the same time Hiruzen used his mud style to trap Danzo as Fugaku jumped away from his retaliation and while mid air he started preparing another huge fire dragon Jutsu.
Danzo seeing this quickly summoned a giant elephantine chimera, large enough to dwarf the fire dragon Fugaku previously released. It is predominantly dark-orange in color with the exception of its trunk, legs and the markings around its eyes. Its feet are striped reminiscent of those of a tiger and it also has huge tusks, what looks like a beard, as well as long, sharp claws. It has bandages wrapped around its head and plated armor at the base of its trunk.
This was Danzo's personal summon and it quickly used its ability opening its mouth and inhaling, creating a powerful suction force that inhales everything within a large radius of itself and immobilizing people around it.
And so Hiruzen's mud Jutsu failed and he himself was immobilized by the suction force but Fugaku's fire dragon attack quickly arrived and unfortunately for this summon named Baku, it was its weakness and just like that the moment it inhaled the fire, it was heavily injured and the suction force disappeared along with the summon in a puff of smoke.
At this moment I arrived with Hiashi and it sealed Danzo's fate because now there was no escape for him.
Very quickly with Hiashi at short ranged with his gentle fist and other Hyuga Jutsu , Fugaku at mid range with his ninjutsu's and Genjutsu , and Hiruzen at long range with his Enma staff that could expand and ninjutsu.
Danzo suffered a miserable defeat and he made his biggest mistake, he overlooked my presence, the presence of a kid, a being even the careful and cunning Danzo didn't think it was dangerous because of how stressful his current fight is.
Yet after he deflected a Kunai Fugaku sent at him, this same kunai still in the air behind him transformed into the kid he overlooked and without wasting anytime slashed his now unveiled pale white right arm with two eyes embedded in it and grabbed it while retreating away.
Danzo Was shocked but before he could react Fugaku already stabbed him in the head.
And yet this Danzo simply faded away and he reappeared a small distance away from us intact with the only difference being one of to two eyes on the pale hands slowly closed.
'Tch , even if you cut his hand away he can still use it huh' I thought as I watched how Danzo was looking at me cautiously this time without letting his guard at all. While the trio of Fugaku, Hiashi and Hiruzen looked shocked because even though Fugaku knows about the Izanagi from the Uchiha stone tablet inside the Naka shrine, he never saw it being used.
"Well , you have two more resurrections left , let get it over with" I said and the trio quickly got out of their daze and started attacking again while this time I helped them even more with either ninjutsu or strategies like the previous one but a desperate beast won't go down alone...
