Chapter 12: Danzo Loses an Arm, Shisui's Death
"It's time." Just as the two were about to separate, at that critical moment, Qianye, who had been hiding in the shadows for a long time, moved. His Tiangang skill, which had reached the fourth level, burst forth. The flash skill inherent to the Tiangang skill combined with the Body Flicker Technique, making his speed almost instantaneous.
No one, including Shisui who was in pain from having his right eye taken, saw what exactly happened. All that was seen was a flash of a blade cutting between the two. When they separated, Shisui had lost his right eye, and Danzo had lost his entire left arm.
"W-what exactly happened?" Danzo, who had thought victory was assured, stared blankly at his left arm that had fallen to the ground. His palm was open, and the Sharingan was nowhere to be seen. The next second, a stinging pain from deep within his soul swept over him. Danzo couldn't hold it in and let out a heartbreaking scream, "Ah!"
Qianye sneered coldly and left without a moment's hesitation. Danzo's left arm was now completely useless. His left arm had been struck by the zanpakuto, and what was severed was not just the flesh, but also the soul.
From now on, unless he installed a puppet arm.
Otherwise, even if he transplanted a left arm, it would necrotize and he would no longer be able to gather Chakra.
Let him worry about such troublesome matters.
"Lord Danzo…" The Root Ninja hidden in the dark were also startled. They immediately appeared to guard Danzo.
They hadn't seen what had happened at all.
They only felt a blur flash before their eyes, and Danzo's left arm was severed.
Shisui also reacted quickly. He covered his empty right eye, looked at Danzo's left arm, which had been severed at the Root, and knowing that a third party had intervened, he quickly formed hand seals.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique."
A giant fireball suddenly covered Danzo and the Root Ninja.
These Root Ninja were originally deployed by Danzo to deal with Uchiha Shisui. Seeing this, they simultaneously formed hand seals, "Water Release: Wild Water Wave."
Water and fire touched, creating a large cloud of steam in the air.
Shisui took this opportunity to quickly escape.
The Root Ninja all looked at Danzo, "Lord Danzo, Uchiha Shisui has escaped."
"Damn it, who was that?!" Danzo's face was distorted. He clutched his left shoulder in pain, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes filled with unwillingness and rage.
He, who was always skilled in schemes, had actually been taken advantage of today.
This was simply outrageous.
"Lord Danzo, should we pursue him?" one of the Root Ninja suggested.
"Pursue? Pursue what? Quickly retrieve my left arm and take me back to Root." Danzo roared. Although he hadn't seen who severed his left arm, it absolutely couldn't have been Uchiha Shisui.
In that situation, he didn't have the ability, nor would he dare to do so.
Now Danzo had used up his Sharingan, his body was severely injured, and his right hand, which had First Generation Cells transplanted, was still sealed and not suitable for use in Konoha.
If that person were to attack again, his life would be over!
Meanwhile, after obtaining Shisui's Kotoamatsukami, Qianye did not choose to show himself at this time.
Instead, he arrived at the Naka River, the place where Uchiha Shisui was to die.
"Is this Kotoamatsukami?"
Looking at Shisui's right eye, which he had taken from Danzo, Qianye felt a wave of nausea and casually put it into his System Warehouse.
The time and space in the System Warehouse were absolutely static. He had experimented by throwing in rabbits and fish, and after some time, they were still unharmed, which meant the Sharingan could be perfectly preserved.
As for transplantation.
Qianye had no such intention.
He wouldn't do something as insane as gouging out his own eyeballs.
Nor did he want to be dragged down or even blinded by the Sharingan like Kakashi, who didn't have the Uchiha Clan bloodline; that would be too improper.
Another point was that a single Sharingan was simply too ugly.
Rather than that, he would prefer to learn from Uchiha Itachi and transplant it into the eye of a summoned beast, wouldn't that be wonderful?
However, the moment he threw the Sharingan into the System Warehouse, the long-awaited system prompt sounded.
"Ding, detected a Naruto World Sharingan in the System Warehouse. Would you like to merge?"
"What will happen after merging?" Qianye was startled and asked in his mind.
"Ding, after merging, it will replace the host's right eye."
"Damn it, what's the point of merging then? I don't want to be a second Kakashi." Qianye's mouth twitched fiercely. He looked up at the cliff top, his eyes surging, "System, what if I throw Uchiha Shisui into the System Warehouse?"
"Ding, if the host is not afraid of personality splitting, then feel free to merge."
"Damn it. Only an idiot would merge." Qianye cursed inwardly.
He simply didn't care about the details. Anyway, Shisui was going to commit suicide, so whether he lived or died, he would throw him into the System Warehouse first and see.
At the same time.
Uchiha Shisui and Itachi had already arrived at the cliff top.
This was the place where they often played together as children.
"Shisui… your eye?" Uchiha Itachi was a person who was extremely poor at expressing emotions. Although his face remained calm, murderous intent was already brewing in his heart.
"As you can see, it was taken." Shisui turned back, revealing his lost right eye and a self-deprecating smile.
Immediately after, he added, "The Uchiha coup d'état is unstoppable. If Konoha is allowed to erupt into civil war, other countries will surely take the opportunity to invade, initiating the Fourth Shinobi World War. I originally intended to use Kotoamatsukami to stop the coup d'état, but unexpectedly, Danzo took my right eye."
"I was too naive. Danzo never trusted anyone. He would sacrifice everything to protect the Village in his own way."
"Unfortunately, in the end, it was all for naught, I ended up helping someone else."
"A mysterious person suddenly appeared the moment Danzo took my right eye and severed Danzo's left arm. His speed was so fast that even my Body Flicker Technique couldn't match it. Now, I'm afraid my left eye has also become his target. Danzo will not give up either."
At this point, Shisui pondered for a moment, then took off his remaining left eye, "So, before my left eye is taken, I intend to entrust it to you for safekeeping."
"Shisui…" Hearing this, Itachi, who usually showed no emotion, could no longer remain stoic. His eyes welled up with tears, and he spoke with difficulty.
"After all, you are the only close friend I can entrust this to. You must protect the Village, protect the Uchiha." Uchiha Shisui's face showed a relieved smile. He opened his left hand, revealing his blood-stained eyeball. At this moment, he had already decided to die.
Uchiha Itachi closed his eyes in pain, summoned a crow, and took Shisui's eye. "I have secured your eye. What do you plan to do next?"
"If I die, the situation will inevitably change. The Uchiha coup d'état will also come to nothing. I have already left my will." Uchiha Shisui slowly retreated towards the edge of the cliff.
"Wait… Shisui!" Seeing this, Uchiha Itachi could no longer remain calm and wanted to go up and stop him, but then he heard Uchiha Shisui say, "Don't stop me, if you are still my friend."
After speaking, Uchiha Shisui leaned back and fell towards the bottom of the cliff, his figure slowly disappearing into the darkness.
