Chapter 343: We’ve Got Right On Our Side, What Do We Have To Fear?
Seeing that the one grabbing his wrist was Lord Danzo, Uchiha Suiju hurriedly asked: “Lord, are you alright?”
Lord Danzo’s expression was grim.
Under the bandage that no one could see, the three tomoe in his right eye had turned into a grayish-white blind eye. There was a sealing jutsu on the bandage, and even Uchiha Suiju couldn’t detect anything unusual.
In the face of Uchiha Goka’s Mangekyo Dōjutsu, Lord Danzo had no choice but to use Izanagi to evade death.
He only had one Sharingan left, and his resurrection opportunity had been used up.
Whether he had a Sharingan or not made a huge difference to Lord Danzo.
Lord Danzo thought to himself, he needed to find a way to cooperate with Orochimaru and have Orochimaru transplant more Sharingan into him.
One eye wasn’t enough; using his current special Wood Style physique, it would be best to transplant a dozen three tomoe Sharingan, gaining a dozen resurrection opportunities.
During the War of the Land of Whirlpools in the Second Ninja War, Lord Danzo, as Commander-in-Chief, had dispatched Aburame Ryoma and others to collect a dozen three tomoe Sharingan.
Three tomoe Sharingan were perfect consumables; no amount was too many.
Yoru saw Lord Danzo stopping Uchiha Suiju from killing Uchiha Goka, and suddenly had a realization.
Sharingan had to be taken from the living; eyes from the dead couldn’t be used.
Lord Danzo’s other hand continued to thrust toward Uchiha Goka’s eye socket like an eagle claw.
At that moment, Water Severing Wave shot out fiercely, slicing horizontally toward Uchiha Goka’s throat.
If it cut down, Uchiha Goka’s head would fly off, flying very high, several stories high.
Seeing this, Lord Danzo changed his palm from eagle claw to a horizontal block.
Another Wood Style: Violent Gun Tree that required no hand seals.
Water Severing Wave cut through half of the Violent Gun Tree, but the tough Wood Style blocked Water Severing Wave, saving Uchiha Goka.
Lord Danzo hurriedly ordered: “Suiju! Stop the fox!”
Yoru also shouted: “Aries! Golden Eagle! Stop Uchiha Suiju!”
The scene instantly became chaotic.
Chaotic to the point of being somewhat incomprehensible.
Lord Danzo, who wanted to extract Uchiha Goka’s Mangekyo, was desperately protecting Uchiha Goka.
Yoru, who wanted to stop Lord Danzo, was going all out to kill Uchiha Goka.
Uchiha Suiju, obeying Lord Danzo’s orders, was going all out to attack the fox.
Aries and Golden Eagle, obeying the fox’s orders, were going all out to attack Uchiha Suiju.
Uchiha Goka at the center of the storm suddenly found himself gaining a brief moment of safety.
He looked at everything in front of him in confusion.
No matter how he looked at it, everyone’s faces were filled with murderous intent.
Some wanted his eyes, some wanted his life.
Haha, Uchiha Goka suddenly realized that Uchiha Zhong Clan Head was right after all.
Lord Danzo was enraged and used the ninja world’s top-tier Wind Release.
Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere shot out like bullets, hitting Half Absolute Defense: Ring Snake, splashing up bursts of water.
Wind Release: Vacuum Wave sliced horizontally at the fox’s waist and abdomen; a segment of wind blade bypassed Half Absolute Defense: Ring Snake and slashed at the fox, but surprisingly couldn’t break through the fox’s Absolute Defense Bronze Light.
The fox’s Water Severing Wave was too powerful, forcing Lord Danzo to repeatedly use Violent Gun Tree to block Water Severing Wave for Uchiha Goka.
Uchiha Touka, lying on the ground in the distance, took a few seconds to understand that Lord Danzo and the Anbu were fighting fiercely over how to deal with his brother.
The current situation was that Lord Danzo wanted to extract his brother’s Mangekyo, while the Anbu wanted to execute his brother on the spot.
From underground, that voice rang out again: “At Ninja Academy graduation, have you played the bell-grabbing game?
Your brother has become their bell to fight over!
Your brother’s eyes are too tempting!”
Uchiha Touka asked the voice underground: “What should I do? What should I do? Who will come save us!”
The voice underground disappeared.
Uchiha Touka looked up and saw a wooden spear suddenly erupt from the ground, piercing into his brother’s back!
His whole body trembled; why had the situation suddenly changed?
That wooden spear bloomed inside his brother, like a porcupine, with a dozen wooden spears thrusting out from the front chest!
Looking at that density, no internal organs could escape.
Yoru finally seized the opportunity and used Impaling Technique.
The next instant, Tobi burst out from underground and crouched beside Uchiha Touka.
Yoru suddenly turned his head and saw the Swirl Tobi beside Uchiha Touka.
Uchiha Touka saw that all his brother’s internal organs had been pierced and finally understood that his brother was going to die.
“Ah!!! Aaaah!”
Uchiha Touka cried out in pain.
In his eyes, the three tomoe spun wildly.
Golden Eagle turned his head in astonishment; his Eight Trigrams acupoint strike had actually been forcibly broken open by Uchiha Touka’s chakra?
Uchiha Touka stood up, and the chakra from Golden Eagle in his acupoints vanished without a trace.
Tobi stood behind Uchiha Touka, thinking to himself, Lord Madara said your talent is much stronger than your brother’s; don’t disappoint Lord Madara.
Your brother is half a waste, while you, Uchiha Touka, are the one Lord Madara chose.
With all internal organs pierced, Uchiha Goka spat thick blood from his mouth, one gush after another.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Uchiha Touka before dying.
His gaze turned to relief; his younger brother’s eyes…
The three tomoe fused together, turning into a pair of Mangekyo!
Very similar to Uchiha Goka’s Mangekyo, four spiral arcs converging into the pupil, but in the spiral fan areas between the four arcs, there were four additional black dots.
Lord Danzo also saw Uchiha Touka’s Mangekyo and turned to slice through a dozen of the fox’s Earth Spears with Vacuum Blade.
“Fox! I order you to withdraw!”
But Yoru refused to back down, saying righteously:
“Uchiha Goka massacred Anbu Ninjas; as the newly appointed Vice Minister, I absolutely will not spare Uchiha Goka! Uchiha Goka must die!”
We have reason; what do we have to fear?
If the case goes to the Hokage, Yoru killing Uchiha Goka is completely justified.
Even the Uchiha Clan couldn’t say anything.
As for you, Lord Danzo, wanting to extract the eyeballs, what does that have to do with me?
How would I know now that you want to extract Uchiha Goka’s eyeballs? I didn’t know that extracted eyeballs could still be used.
Uchiha Goka’s gaze was dazed; he slowly raised his hand, pointed at his own eyeballs, spat blood from his mouth, and mumbled indistinctly to Touka:
“Take them… Tou… don’t leave them to Konoha…”
Uchiha Touka remembered the clan’s rumors.
Historically famous Uchiha blood brothers always ended with one dying and the other surviving, never an exception.
Gradually, rumors spread within the clan that Uchiha blood brothers were destined to kill each other.
Uchiha Touka had always scoffed at it before.
His brother treated him very well; like a father as the eldest brother, Touka had never seen his father and had been raised by his brother Goka since childhood.
At this moment, seeing his brother on the brink of death, whose final wish was for him to take his eyes, his already grief-stricken heart completely blackened.
Tobi said at the right moment beside him: “Only Lord Madara can oppose Konoha; only Lord Madara can help you get revenge. Go see Lord Madara! Lord Madara has been waiting for you…”
Uchiha Touka grabbed the wrist of Vortex White Zetsu Tobi.
“I want revenge! Revenge!”
Tobi’s Swirl Mask opened and crashed into Uchiha Touka, becoming Uchiha Touka’s Wood Style armor.
At the same time, Tobi’s wood spikes pierced into Uchiha Touka’s body, using Wood Style to modify his body.
Uchiha Touka wailed in pain on the spot.
Yoru saw that Uchiha Touka had Vortex Tobi armor and mask, stimulated by Hashirama Cells; he was practically a mini Obito.
Tobi said to Uchiha Touka: “Endure it… You’ll need Mayfly Technique to escape later; without Mayfly Technique, you can’t escape Konoha’s pursuit!”
Once Uchiha Touka calmed a bit, Tobi said to him from within the mask:
“Your brother’s injuries are too severe; all his internal organs are shattered.
But I can help you fulfill your brother’s dying wish: take his eyes, don’t leave that pair of eyes to Konoha!”
Seeing Uchiha Touka’s brand new Mangekyo, Yoru thought it was bad; it hadn’t reached the next full moon night yet, couldn’t afford to take risks.
Not knowing the new Mangekyo’s abilities, what if he got killed?
Seeing Vortex White Zetsu Tobi become Uchiha Touka’s armor, Yoru decided to observe first.
Lord Danzo took the chance to sneak attack Yoru with Wind Release.
Yoru slipped underfoot and was blown a hundred meters away by Lord Danzo’s Wind Release: Vacuum Continuous Wave.
Yoru crashed into a big tree in the distance, bit his lip, spat blood, and said:
“Such strong Wind Release!”
This statement had at least 40% credibility.
Lord Danzo’s Vacuum Continuous Wave was truly powerful; this was top-tier Wind Release that could slice through Susanoo.
The crisscrossing vacuum waves cut cracks into the Bronze Light.
If the Bronze Light failed, his chest would be torn into quarters.
Yoru estimated he could take two hits from Lord Danzo’s Vacuum Continuous Wave in a row.
Seeing Lord Fox withdrawing from the battlefield, Aries and Golden Eagle hurriedly abandoned Uchiha Suiju and retreated backward.
Lord Danzo felt relieved seeing the fox repelled.
He hurriedly turned his head and rushed toward Uchiha Goka.
Hurry; if he didn’t extract the eyeballs soon, the Mangekyo pupils would dilate too.
Uchiha Touka, who had awakened Mangekyo and donned Vortex White Zetsu, had his strength directly leap to that of a strong individual at Kage Level.
Chakra amount and taijutsu both leaped a major step.
Lord Danzo’s eagle claw was once again only 3 centimeters from Uchiha Goka’s eyes when his vision was suddenly filled with a white fist.
His facial features distorted violently as he was punched flying.
Yoru thought to himself, oh no, why is he flying toward me?
What should I do?
Should I strike a dirty blow?
What if others see it?
Yoru looked at Golden Eagle; Golden Eagle had Byakugan activated, staring intently at the battlefield.
Yoru soon had no need to hesitate; in mid-air, Lord Danzo held a kunai and thrust it forcefully into the ground, using the friction from the kunai and ground to halt his momentum.
A long crack appeared on the ground.
Lord Danzo’s face was deformed, with clear fractures in his cheekbones and upper jaw.
After this punch, Lord Danzo suddenly calmed down a lot and didn’t rashly charge forward again.
The Sharingan under the bandage was ruined; he had no trump card left.
Tobi’s voice rang out.
“Touka, several Konoha strong individuals are coming that way; I can only take you alone to escape.
Your brother is in his final moments; take his eyes, and let’s escape!”
Uchiha Goka saw that his younger brother’s eyes in the Swirl Mask were Mangekyo and felt very relieved in his heart.
He pointed at his own eyes again, wanting Touka to take them.
Seeing Touka still hesitating and unable to do it, Tobi extended wood vines and dug out Uchiha Goka’s two eyes.
Lord Danzo appeared with Body Flicker, reaching to grab Tobi’s Mangekyo eyeball.
Uchiha Touka hurriedly pulled his hand back.
Lord Danzo had played a feint and raised his hand again to extract Uchiha Touka’s Mangekyo.
Tobi’s mocking voice rang out.
“Hahaha! The Shimura Clan’s cowardly brat, grown up to be so loathsome!”
Wood spikes thrust out from the Swirl Mask, piercing through Lord Danzo’s palm.
Lord Danzo’s palm stung with pain, and he hurriedly retreated.
Uchiha Touka’s figure sank into the ground; Lord Danzo wanted to pursue but could no longer find him.
In impotent rage, Lord Danzo suddenly turned his head and looked at the fox who had just stood up.
“Fox! Yoru! What are you doing!”
Yoru thought to himself, I’m cultivating an Eternal Mangekyo…
If things went smoothly, next time he saw Uchiha Touka, he could extract an Eternal Mangekyo with no vision loss or side effects.
At that moment, several people landed with Body Flicker in succession.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, Mito Mon’en, Lord Kiiroinu.
Mito Mon’en saw Uchiha Goka’s corpse on the ground and said to the fox:
“Send people to stop Uchiha Zhong; don’t let him get close! Seal off all news! Absolutely no leaks allowed!”
Yoru looked at Golden Eagle; Golden Eagle led lightly injured Anbu to block the Uchiha Clan members.
Lord Kiiroinu asked Yoru: “Fox, what happened?”
Yoru said: “Lord Kiiroinu, wait first! There’s still one Uchiha Ninja hiding in the bathroom of that house!”
Uchiha Xun, Head of Torture Department of the Guard Department, was lying at the bathroom window and had seen everything before.
At this moment, his scalp went numb as all the high-ranking officials looked toward him!
Uchiha Xun knew he couldn’t hide anymore and hurriedly formed hand seals to prepare Summoning Ninja Crow.
Lord Danzo struck in fury, casually throwing a kunai that pierced the wall and stabbed into Uchiha Xun’s head.
Uchiha Suiju beside him saw Lord Danzo kill a Uchiha Ninja, his mind trembled, and he lowered his head deeply.
