"It seems he has already transplanted Itachi's eyes!"
Flying above the battlefield where Sasuke and Danzo were fighting, Hawking looked at Danzo, who was completely suppressed by Sasuke below, and immediately knew that Sasuke at this moment already possessed the Eternity Mangekyo Sharingan.
Because if it were just a normal Mangekyo, Sasuke wouldn't be able to fight Danzo so easily.
Danzo's own strength wasn't that great, but he had transplanted many things, which combined to give him Shadow-level strength.
He had the First Hokage's cells, allowing him to use some Wood Release Ninjutsu, and he had also transplanted eleven Sharingan, one of which was Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan.
He could also use the Uchiha's unique ultimate ocular Ninjutsu, Izanagi, which, at the cost of one Sharingan, made him immune to death for one minute.
It was equivalent to having eleven lives.
Besides that, he also had a powerful summoning beast, Baku, which could cooperate with his most proficient Wind Release for attacks.
But now, Sasuke clearly looked like a cat playing with a mouse, with his arms crossed, using a half-body Susanoo, constantly killing Danzo and making the Sharingan on his arm close one by one.
On the other side, the Root Ninja were all blocked by the Sage Mode Jugo, Suigetsu Hozuki, and Karin, unable to support Danzo.
"As expected of Itachi's younger brother, but I originally thought he wasn't the type to leak secrets, yet he told you everything. So, for Konoha, he is also a traitor.
Ninja must sacrifice themselves. Not only Itachi, but many Ninja silently sacrifice like this. This World isn't all bright and beautiful; it's precisely because of our darkness that the current peace can be maintained!"
Danzo gasped for breath, staring at Sasuke in front of him, coughing blood and sneering.
After hearing Danzo's remarks, Sasuke's Mangekyo continued to spin, his face even colder than winter ice:
"It seems he didn't lie to me; all of this is true. Itachi sacrificed everything for the Village, yet you call him a traitor. It's truly ridiculous.
Don't worry, I will kill you first, then kill those two Advisors, and finally make everyone in the entire Village accompany Itachi, and our Uchiha Clan, in death."
Susanoo instantly grew from half-body to full-body, then raised its hand and punched Danzo. Danzo couldn't dodge in time and was smashed into a pulp.
Izanagi activated, and Danzo revived again not far away, but the last Sharingan on his right arm also closed.
"Ah!"
Just then, his right hand began to twist and deform wildly, uncontrollably growing various branches.
It turned out that in order to balance the mental power brought by the Sharingan, Danzo had transplanted the First Hokage's cells, which possessed powerful life force.
Now that all ten Sharingan were destroyed, the balance was broken, and he naturally could no longer control the power of the First Hokage's Wood Release.
"Rip."
To prevent being swallowed by the power of Wood Release, Danzo endured the pain and directly tore off his entire right hand.
"Your power is so minuscule. Even with Izanagi, what good is it? You'll just die a few more times."
Looking at Danzo, who had only one Sharingan left, Sasuke's mouth curled into a cold sneer.
The pleasure of revenge had now begun to distort his mind.
"I didn't expect you to grow to this extent. Well, if that's the case, it's not a complete waste."
Facing Sasuke, whom he couldn't defeat, Danzo's face showed no panic.
Because he still had one last trump card he hadn't used: Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan in his right eye.
The ability of Shisui's Mangekyo Sharingan was Kotoamatsukami, the strongest Genjutsu, which could silently change a person's will.
He had always kept this trump card to use at a more important time in the future, but now that he was in a life-or-death crisis, he had no choice but to use it prematurely.
Fortunately, Sasuke's strength was indeed good, so it wasn't a complete waste.
As long as he activated Kotoamatsukami and made Sasuke permanently loyal to him, then in the future, he would have another great general under his command.
However, just as he was about to activate his ability against Sasuke, a voice suddenly sounded from above:
"Oh, isn't that Danzo My Lord?"
It was Hawking, who had detected Danzo's ocular power fluctuations and revealed himself.
Actually, he had originally planned to wait for Sasuke to kill Danzo, and then immediately appear to collect Danzo's soul.
But he forgot that the current Danzo was different from the Danzo in the original plot.
In the original plot, Danzo had already used Kotoamatsukami on Mifune during the Five Kage Summit, but now, because of him, Kotoamatsukami was still intact.
If Danzo were to use Kotoamatsukami on Sasuke, the consequences would truly be hard to predict.
"It's you!"
Seeing that the person who appeared in the sky was Hawking, Danzo immediately stopped using Kotoamatsukami. Although he disliked Hawking, he had to admit that this guy's strength was top-notch.
With Hawking present, he wouldn't have to use Kotoamatsukami to save his life today.
"Hawking, kill this Konoha rogue Ninja!"
"It's him!"
Sasuke's pupils also contracted when he saw Hawking appear in the sky.
He had already been told about Hawking by Tobi, who claimed to be Uchiha Madara, before he came.
Although he didn't fully believe it, he didn't dare to be careless.
"Not good!"
Just as he was about to quickly deal with Danzo while Hawking hadn't come down yet, he found that Hawking in the sky had disappeared, and reappeared next to Danzo.
With Hawking's protection, killing Danzo next would be troublesome.
"Nani?"
However, the next second, his jaw almost dropped.
Because after Hawking appeared next to Danzo, he immediately reached out and gouged out the Sharingan from Danzo's right eye.
"Hawking, you actually dare to betray Konoha!"
Equally surprised was Danzo. He never expected Hawking to appear not to help him, but to kick him while he was down.
"Betray Konoha? I am not a Konoha Ninja, so how can I betray it?"
Hawking smiled as he put away Shisui's eye, then shook his head and said to Danzo:
"I heard your conversation just now. Originally, I just hated your stinky face, but I didn't expect you to be this kind of person. I, Hawking, am full of integrity, and I despise people like you the most.
So, I gouged out one of your eyes as a slight punishment, and besides, this eye was never yours; it belongs to the Uchiha Clan."
Shisui's Kotoamatsukami was quite useful; it would be a waste to let Danzo use it like that. Anyway, Danzo was going to die, so it was better to keep Kotoamatsukami for himself.
Moreover, without Kotoamatsukami, Danzo would not be Sasuke's opponent.
"I'm just passing by; you two continue. Don't mind me. Avenge grievances and settle scores; I absolutely will not interfere."
After gouging out Danzo's Sharingan, Hawking flew into the sky again.
"You, you… you…"
Danzo was so angry he was almost going crazy. He pointed at Hawking, unable to speak for a long time.
Although Sasuke was full of doubts, he also knew that this opportunity could not be missed, so he directly shot a Scorch Release: Kagutsuchi at Danzo.
