"It seems I have no choice but to make my move," Danzo said, though his subordinates had been annihilated. He still appeared calm. He tossed aside his cane and slowly unwound the bandages on his arm, revealing a terrifying sight—a right arm full of Sharingan eyes.

"Sharingan?" Uchiha Inaho and Saito, protected by the Susanoo, immediately grew furious. "How dare you desecrate the remains of our ancestors!"

"You Uchiha are a demonic clan. The power of the Sharingan can only be used by me to protect Konoha," Danzo declared, looking up at the black armored god of war standing in the torrential rain. "Miyuki Uchiha, today I will personally end your sins."

With that, Danzo surged forward, hands forming seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!" Wind chakra gathered in Danzo’s mouth and shot forward like bullets toward the Susanoo. Danzo’s figure weaved through the high-speed spheres, kunai in hand, aiming for Miyuki’s heart.

But the towering Susanoo only needed one strike to destroy the vacuum spheres, and Danzo was directly bisected by the sword.

The Susanoo slowly began to dissipate, revealing Miyuki, Inaho, and Saito.

"Is it over?" Inaho muttered, just processing the event.

"Yes, it's over," Miyuki nodded. He then walked to Danzo’s now lifeless body, which had died in one of the most recent methods known in the modern world.

However, the next second, Danzo’s body disappeared before their eyes, and a gust of wind suddenly roared behind Miyuki.

"Miyuki Uchiha, your eyes—this old man will take them now," Danzo’s voice echoed with excitement. "Once I kill you, with both Shisui’s and your Mangekyō Sharingan, I will become Hokage."

But just as the kunai came within a hair's breadth of Miyuki’s back, Danzo froze, his body slowly dissipating.

"What... What is this?" Danzo couldn’t believe his eyes. His right arm and the kunai had completely vanished into the wind.

"Your reliance is on Izanagi, isn’t it?" Miyuki slowly turned, the Mangekyō Sharingan in his left eye spinning rapidly. "You can manipulate falsehoods and reality, but unfortunately, my eye completely counters it."

"My ocular jutsu, 'Kōzō Meiryō,' when under my gaze, all falsehoods will cease to exist." Miyuki’s words rang out, and Danzo’s figure completely vanished from the air. The corpse that had disappeared earlier now reappeared.

The remaining half of Danzo's body, which contained cells from Hashirama, lost the chakra suppression, and immediately began to rampage. Miyuki Uchiha extended his hand and performed several sealing techniques, subduing the Hashirama cells' rebellion before he bent down to pick up the half of Danzo’s body.

“Let’s go. We’re heading back to the village,” Miyuki Uchiha said.

“Back to the village?” Saito Uchiha was stunned upon hearing this.

“Yes, we’re going back for an explanation,” Miyuki Uchiha replied, then glanced at the few remaining Wood Release ninja not far away, still barely alive. “Take him with us.”

…

In the Hokage building’s office, Sarutobi Hiruzen lit his pipe for the 27th time that day. For some unknown reason, since this morning, he had been engulfed by an overwhelming sense of unease.

“Hokage-sama, Uchiha Miyuki, who left the village this morning, has returned and had a confrontation with the guards at the village gate,” a member of the Anbu rushed in, reporting.

Sarutobi’s heart sank. Uchiha Miyuki had returned, which meant Danzo had failed?

“Why would there be a confrontation after completing the mission?” Sarutobi asked quickly.

“He is holding… Danzo’s body,” the Anbu member swallowed hard, “and there are several Sharingan eyes on Danzo’s body.”

“What?!” Sarutobi’s face paled. Honestly, he had greatly underestimated Uchiha Miyuki’s strength and had prepared for Danzo’s failure or even for Danzo to be caught in Tsukuyomi, but he never expected Danzo to die directly at Miyuki’s hands.

“Hokage-sama, the two advisors have already received the news and are on their way to the village gate,” the Anbu continued, “and the Uchiha clan has also heard about this and is gathering.”

Upon hearing this, Sarutobi couldn’t sit still any longer. He quickly stood up and headed out.

At the village gate that evening, tensions were high.

Dozens of elite shinobi in jonin vests surrounded Uchiha Miyuki and Uchiha Inaho, who was carrying Danzo’s body. However, no one made a move. Miyuki stood calmly at the center of the encirclement, the half of Danzo’s body discarded like trash before him.

“Bold! How dare you kill an elder of Konoha! Is the Uchiha clan planning to betray the village?” A loud voice echoed as the surrounding ninja parted to let two figures through. Mitokado Homura and Koharu Utatan, two of the village’s advisors, walked forward. Upon seeing their former teammate’s tragic state, they immediately demanded, “Someone, capture these two traitors!”

“I’ll see who dares!” At that moment, one by one, Uchiha ninjas appeared from behind Miyuki. Under the setting sun, their crimson Sharingan eyes glowed with dangerous intent. Leading them were several elder warriors from the Uchiha faction, as well as the clan leader, Uchiha Fugaku, whom they had brought along.

After delivering the message back to the clan, Saito had gathered the Uchiha clan's ninja at the fastest pace. The sight of Danzo’s Sharingan eyes on his severed arm had caused even the more conservative members of the clan to erupt in fury.

Shisui, who had just undergone eye replacement surgery and was recuperating in the clan, received the news and couldn’t stay calm either. He had intended to stop this escalation, but the Uchiha were now beyond reason. Their pleas had been futile, and a conflict had broken out in the clan. So, he had no choice but to join the others at the village gate.

“Is the Uchiha clan planning a rebellion?” Mitokado Homura asked angrily upon seeing the situation.

“Dare to desecrate our clan’s remains, and today, we shall rebel!” one of the Uchiha warriors from the military faction stood his ground.

“Everyone, stop!” Just as the two sides were about to clash, a voice filled with authority rang out. A slightly shorter figure appeared in the center of the two groups, wearing the Hokage robe, with the words "Third Hokage" boldly emblazoned on it. Upon seeing him, both sides immediately halted their actions.
