Chapter 33 Naruto vs. Danzo

Naruto stared at Shisui quietly without saying a word. After about a minute, Shisui's eyes became firm, as if he had made some important decision.

"Senior, you saved my life. Logically, I should go through fire and water for you. But... but..."

Naruto raised his hand to stop Shisui from continuing, and his deep voice slowly sounded: "I know what you are thinking, it is nothing more than the conflict between the Uchiha clan and the village. I might as well tell you that in the near future, the Uchiha clan will face the disaster of genocide, and the culprit of all this is your good friend Uchiha Itachi."

After hearing what Naruto said, Shisui's eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, his face full of disbelief. Just as he was about to get up and look for Itachi, an extremely powerful force pressed his shoulders, holding him firmly in place.

"Shisui, you and I are both members of the Uchiha clan. Uchiha never lie to Uchiha. I can never watch the Uchiha perish, nor can I watch the Uchiha go to war with the village. Because once the war starts, it will mean death, and many clan members will sacrifice. So I plan to lead the Uchiha out of Konoha Village, and I need help." Naruto looked at Shisui sincerely.

Shisui's breathing became rapid. He tried to calm himself down, looked directly into Naruto's eyes and asked, "Senior, are you sure you can lead the Uchiha clan out of this predicament and find a new place to live?"

Naruto nodded heavily, his eyes as firm as steel: "I am absolutely sure that as long as we unite, we can do it. But this requires your help, Shisui."

Shisui was silent for a moment, then he gritted his teeth and said with a firm gaze: "Senior, as long as you can really save the Uchiha clan and save it from the crisis of destruction, I will definitely follow your lead without hesitation!"

Naruto showed a barely perceptible smile of success on his face, and said softly: "Just stay here for the time being, don't act rashly, I will go and get your eyes back for you."

Shisui nodded, his eyes full of trust and expectation.

Naruto turned and left quickly, his figure quickly disappearing into the darkness. Shisui was left alone, anxiously waiting there, his heart was uneasy and his thoughts were in a mess. He didn't know whether Naruto could successfully get his eyes back, nor did he know where the future of the Uchiha clan would go.

At the base of Konoha, Shimura Danzo sat in a dark room, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it. He was scolding his subordinates angrily: "You good-for-nothings! A bunch of useless trash! You couldn't even capture a dying man, and you let him run away! Do you know how much trouble this will bring us?"

Danzo's one eye flashed with a fierce and sharp light. He slammed the table hard, causing the documents on the table to scatter all over the floor. "My carefully planned layout has failed because of your incompetence and stupidity! How dare you stand in front of me?" His voice was like a roaring beast, full of anger and majesty.

The men all lowered their heads, their bodies trembling slightly, not daring to look directly at Danzo's eyes that seemed to devour people. One of them gritted his teeth and said tremblingly: "Danzo, that guy is really too powerful, and a mysterious helper suddenly appeared, disrupting our plan. We have tried our best..."

Danzo took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart. "I will give you one last chance. No matter what method you use, you must get what I want. If you fail this time, you can prepare to receive the most severe punishment!"

The men's faces were pale, with cold sweat on their foreheads. They nodded in agreement and then hurriedly retreated, ready to carry out the difficult and dangerous task again.

Danzo sat back in his chair, brows furrowed, and cursed these useless subordinates in his heart.

"Lord Danzo, you are so angry." A sinister voice came from the depths of darkness.

Danzo looked in the direction of the sound, and a man wearing an ice sculpture mask suddenly appeared at the root. Danzo frowned, and his mind quickly thought about the memory of this person. After confirming that there was no such person, Danzo asked with a vigilant look: "Sir, it seems that you are not from our Konoha."

Naruto then laughed out loud, and the laughter sounded particularly strange in this dim space: "Does it matter whether you are from Konoha or not? I came here just to borrow something from Master Danzo."

"What is it?" Danzo asked in a low voice, while his right hand unconsciously reached for the kunai hidden in his sleeve.

Naruto slowly approached Danzo, stopped a few steps away from him, and said coldly: "Don't be nervous, Lord Danzo, what I want may not be indispensable to you, but it is very important to me. What I want is Uchiha Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Eye."

Danzo was shocked, but his face remained calm: "Humph, I don't know what you are talking about."

Naruto sneered, "Master Danzo, stop playing dumb. You can hide your deeds from others, but not from me."

Danzo's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Who are you? You dare to go wild in my Root, aren't you afraid that you will never come back?"

Naruto crossed his arms over his chest and said nonchalantly, "Master Danzo, since I dare to come here, I am not afraid of your threats. Today, I am determined to get this eye."

Danzo gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Then let's see if you have the ability!"

The battle broke out instantly, and Naruto formed seals with his hands: "Ice Release: Ice Dragon Bullet Jutsu!" In an instant, a huge ice dragon appeared out of thin air, rushing towards Danzo with its fangs and claws bared.

Danzo dodged swiftly, frowning, and whispered, "Ice Release, who the hell are you?"

Naruto snorted coldly, his expression grim: "Danzo, you don't need to know who I am. Today, as long as you hand over the Eye of Kotoamatsukami, I will spare your life."

Danzo's eyes were gloomy and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You, an ignorant boy, dare to think of getting anything from me?" After that, Danzo quickly formed seals with his hands and shouted: "Wind Style: Big Breakthrough!" A powerful storm suddenly formed and swept towards the ice dragon. The two collided with each other. For a while, ice chips flew all over the sky, like a dreamy rain of ice crystals.

Naruto was not moved at all, his eyes were firm and focused, he formed hand seals again and shouted: "Ice Release: Black Dragon Blizzard!" A black ice dragon accompanied by violent wind and snow attacked Danzo again with a more ferocious momentum.

Danzo was shocked when he saw this. He really didn't expect Naruto's ice escape technique to be so powerful. He quickly took out several kunai from his body and threw them at the ice dragon.

However, the ice dragon was unstoppable, breaking through the shuriken and advancing straight towards Danzo. Danzo had no choice but to use the substitution technique, which narrowly avoided the fatal blow.

"Boy, you did surprise me, but that's not enough!" Danzo shouted, and tore off the bandage covering his eyes, revealing the Sharingan he had just snatched. The blood-red eyes were filled with strange power.
