Chapter 205 Danzo: Hiruzen, it's your turn to perform!
Uchiha Tokumitsu led his squad to Hozuki's side immediately, using kunai to block their vitals and prevent any untoward movement.
"Lord Danzo, Lord Kagami."
Deguang turned around to ask for instructions.
"Leave it to the Uzumaki clan to handle."
Danzo, supporting Kagami, gave orders, "Their sealing techniques are far more reliable than ours."
"yes!"
A long-planned ambush came to an end in a way that no one could have predicted, and with overwhelming force.
The Ninth Generation Uzumaki waved to his clansmen.
Several Uzumaki ninjas immediately stepped forward and swiftly dragged Hozuki Kaigetsu and Hozuki Shio from the pool of blood.
Thick chains instantly coiled around it, the chains glowing with a ghostly blue light and engraved with ancient sealing runes.
The moment the lock touched their skin, the Hozuki siblings' bodies convulsed violently.
Their chakra flow was completely suppressed, and they couldn't mobilize even a tiny bit of it.
The Ninth Generation of Uzumaki personally inspected the binding of the chains. Only when he confirmed that there were no mistakes did the gentle village chief's expression gradually soften.
He personally examined Hozuki Shio's injuries.
The female ninja was weak and pale, seemingly still trapped in some kind of nightmare.
The Ninth Generation Uzumaki simply shook his head slightly.
Turning to look at the backs of Uchiha Kagami and Shimura Danzo, the two figures stood like sculptures in the night.
Having witnessed the power of Konoha, and knowing the immense strength of the First Hokage and Madara Uchiha.
But witnessing this efficient, almost ruthless crushing force firsthand, especially in a meticulously planned trap, he felt an indescribable sense of awe.
This is the foundation of the Five Great Ninja Villages, the strength of Konohagakure in the Land of Fire.
They have risen through the ranks not simply because of some god-like figure, but because of a whole, meticulously functioning war machine.
The smell of blood was still strong inside the library.
Busy Uzumaki ninjas, Konoha Anbu members, and Root members moved about.
They cleaned up the corpses and collected ninja tools, everything in an orderly manner.
But that suffocating murderous aura had already vanished.
Danzo Shimura supported Kagami Uchiha, and the two stood side by side amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Everything around them seemed irrelevant.
"How are you feeling?"
"I asked Shimura Danzo in a hoarse voice."
Uchiha Kagami covered his left eye with one hand and shook his head.
"He won't die."
His voice was weak, yet unusually calm.
"Heh, you've certainly learned to be stubborn."
Danzo Shimura snorted coldly and spoke in a reproachful tone, "You just awakened the Kaleidoscope Sharingan, and you don't even know how to use it wisely."
He supported Jing's arm, but subconsciously tightened his grip, as if afraid that the man beside him who had just released divine power would suddenly collapse.
Upon hearing this, Uchiha Kagami smiled slightly, his voice remaining calm.
"Thank you."
Shimura Danzo paused for a moment, then turned his head away somewhat uncomfortably.
"What are you thanking me for?"
Uchiha Kagami did not answer immediately.
He closed his eyes and felt the chakra within his body.
The power of the Mangekyou Sharingan was stronger than he had expected, but it also took a toll on his body.
"It's nothing."
Uchiha Kagami did not continue speaking.
"..."
Danzo Shimura remained silent.
He leaned against the mirror, gazing at the stone gate in the distance stained red with blood, and after a long while, he slowly spoke.
"Hiruzen's theory... is correct."
Outside the library, the night wind blew, stirring up a few fallen leaves.
"The power of the Uchiha is not a curse."
Danzo Shimura continued, his voice low but each word clear. "It is the sharpest sword that protects the village..."
He turned around and faced Uchiha Kagami.
His hand rested on Jing's shoulder, calloused and bearing the weight of years.
"And you, Mirror."
"It's the person who wields this sword."
"Let's go."
The two then walked out of the library side by side, their intertwined figures seemingly silently proclaiming the meaning of friendship.
The night was deep, and the sea breeze carried a dampness.
The two walked through the empty village and arrived at the rooftop of a tall building overlooking the sea.
Standing on the edge of the rooftop, the sea breeze violently whipped their robes.
The turbulent sea shimmered under the moonlight.
Danzo Shimura gazed into the distance, where the deep night sky stretched out to the endless ocean.
He knew he had accomplished most of his mission.
The ambush inside the library completely shattered the morale of the enemy's advance team.
Intelligence has been gathered, and the prisoners have been taken into custody.
They paved the way for the Hokage.
The real war has only just begun.
Danzo Shimura's thoughts raced, and Hiruzen's calm and collected face appeared in his mind.
"Sun-cutting, the fish are already in the trap."
He murmured to himself, his voice muffled by the sea breeze. "Now it's up to you."
He knew that Hiruzen's chessboard extended far beyond the small corner of the Land of Whirlpools.
