Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou-Chapter 259: Naruto: I am Uchiha Shirou []

"Despicable Uchiha!"

From the rooftop of the Hokage building came the furious roar of Shimura Danzo, as yet another Sharingan on his arm slowly closed.

As Danzo spewed blood and roared in madness, his body disappeared for a moment, only for his figure to suddenly reappear on one side of the rooftop. At this point, his face was filled with anger and determination.

His ambitions had only just begun—how could he stop here?

Yet at this moment, nearly all the shinobi of Konoha were his enemies. He had even lost his identity as one of Konoha's shinobi.

Surrounded on all sides by Konoha's elite jonin, even someone as powerful as Danzo, a Kage-level ninja, could only roar in frustration.

More importantly, the cold, hateful gazes of the Konoha ninjas around him shattered Danzo's resolve.

"For the ninja world! For Konoha! I absolutely cannot let you, Uchiha Shirou, live!"

Relying on the forbidden technique Izanagi, Danzo grabbed Shirou's arms tightly and roared in desperation.

This scene caused the surrounding shinobi to cry out in shock and anger.

"Lord Shirou, be careful!"

But at this moment, Danzo, in his madness, revealed black sealing marks across his chest.

"This is bad! It's the Reverse Four Symbols Seal!"

When the sealing marks on Danzo's chest appeared and began to ooze black ink, Kushina exclaimed in alarm.

The surrounding shinobi were also shocked and furious, but something seemed off.

"Danzo!"

A roar of anger broke out. The pupils of Shimura Danzo, who had been prepared to sacrifice himself to take Shirou down with him, constricted. To his shock, Uchiha Shirou stood before him, glaring in terror and fury.

That familiar gaze! That familiar voice!

"No! Impossible!"

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and in the next moment, the figure of Uchiha Shirou transformed into Sarutobi Hiruzen's enraged face. Beside him, Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu also shouted in anger and alarm.

"Danzo! Are you insane? This is Hiruzen!"

"Danzo!"

It was clear that Danzo had fallen into a genjutsu, which had caused him to target the wrong enemy.

At this moment, Sarutobi Hiruzen, both shocked and enraged, witnessed Danzo's madness and was struck by a horrifying realization.

No! He couldn't die yet! Konoha still needed him!

This was the Uchiha's plot—to use Danzo to kill him!

All these thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. Danzo's dazed eyes seemed to realize who stood before him, but in Hiruzen's eyes, the black sealing ink was already spraying out, filling him with dread.

"Homura! Koharu! Get away! It's Danzo's Reverse Four Symbols Seal—it'll seal all of us!"

Facing the terror of death, Sarutobi Hiruzen, seeing the ink about to reach him, gave a desperate, powerful kick.

This full-force strike, combined with Danzo's momentary disorientation, sent his body flying like a cannonball into the distance.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu, now terrified, scrambled to evade.

But this was Shimura Danzo's self-sacrificial technique. In the original story, Obito and Sasuke managed to avoid it, but that didn't mean everyone here could do the same.

Reverse Four Symbols Seal!

As the black sealing ink sprayed out, the Konoha ninjas on the rooftop cried out in alarm.

"Everyone, get back!"

"Don't touch the black ink!"

"It's a sealing technique!"

From the perspective of Konoha's elite jonin, what they saw was Danzo suddenly going berserk, launching an attack on the Third Hokage while shouting about Uchiha Shirou.

He used a self-sacrificial technique right off the bat, leaving no time for anyone to react.

"Danzo!"

Sarutobi Hiruzen, horrified, looked at the ink that had splashed onto his arms. Even though he had reacted as quickly as possible, he still couldn't avoid it completely.

Before anyone could react further, the seal's explosion sent shockwaves across the area. Every Konoha shinobi watching was left in stunned silence.

A massive black sphere hovered above the rooftop of the Hokage building.

"Danzo!"

As the effects of the Reverse Four Symbols Seal subsided, screams of pain echoed around the rooftop.

"My hand! My leg! Someone, help me..."

"Uchiha Shirou, even if we're guilty, you can't use Danzo to kill us! We're still Hokage advisors..."

Amidst the heart-wrenching cries of anguish, countless Konoha ninjas silently watched the scene unfold.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu appeared utterly terrified, screaming and pleading. They even tried to invoke their status.

But their arms and legs, tainted by Danzo's sealing ink, had been completely sealed, leaving them crippled.

"Snap out of it! You were caught in a genjutsu!"

Seeing the pitiful state of Homura and Koharu, Jiraiya was furious. He rushed forward, grabbing them and injecting his chakra to forcibly dispel the genjutsu.

Meanwhile, Sarutobi Hiruzen stared at his arms in shock and rage. His skin was covered in black markings, and he could no longer feel his arms.

"My arms!"

In the distance, after executing the self-sacrificial sealing technique, Danzo should have died. Yet, he revived once more, though trapped in another genjutsu. He laughed maniacally.

"Haha! I've sealed your arms! You'll never be able to use ninjutsu again!"

At that moment, a flash of yellow light and a burst of lightning appeared. Two figures attacked Danzo from the front and back simultaneously.

Five Elements Seal!

The two figures were Uchiha Shirou and Minato Namikaze. In perfect sync, they both unleashed the same sealing technique.

In an instant, as the seals struck Danzo from both sides, his single eye bulged in agony, bloodshot and filled with pain.

As his chakra was completely sealed, Danzo's eye seemed to clear, breaking free from the genjutsu.

"Danzo! You're too dangerous! This sealing technique could destroy the entire village!"

Minato's voice echoed, causing the surrounding Konoha ninjas to relax slightly.

The large-scale sealing technique had been neutralized within the barrier, and no one dared imagine what might have happened if it had gone off again.

"How... how is this possible!"

With his chakra sealed, Danzo, now free from the genjutsu, stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu looked pale and furious, their sealed arms and legs blackened beyond repair. They glared at him in fury and despair.

Sarutobi Hiruzen's trembling arms were the same!

"No... impossible! I've been watching you the entire time, Uchiha Shirou! There's no way you could've used a genjutsu!"

At this moment, on the Hokage rooftop, Danzo Shimura, having lost all his chakra, collapsed to his knees in a pathetic state, dry-heaving and vomiting bile, all while letting out a hoarse, desperate scream.

However, standing dominantly on the rooftop, Uchiha Shirou coldly stomped on Danzo's face, pressing it heavily into the ground under his foot.

With his Sharingan spinning in a contemptuous and condescending manner, Shirou mocked, "At what point did you start to think that my Mangekyou Sharingan hadn't already been activated?"

His cold voice echoed across the rooftop, leaving numerous Konoha ninjas stunned.

This kind of genjutsu was terrifying!

"Damn it! You vile Uchiha... I haven't... even become... Hokage yet..."

Amid his pained, raspy voice, Danzo screamed in unwillingness.

At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto, seeing that the threat had been eliminated, shouted coldly:

"Release the barrier!"

Suddenly, with a sharp slicing sound, filthy blood splattered everywhere as Danzo Shimura's sinful arm was severed by the Kusanagi sword.

"Now, on behalf of the Uchiha, I will reclaim this arm tainted with sin!"

Four Sharingan eyes on the arm had already closed! As Uchiha Madara once said, there has never been a perfect jutsu in the ninja world—every technique can be countered or nullified.

Other than being restrained by Izanami, Izanagi can also be undone by sealing the user's chakra.

After all, no jutsu can exist without chakra. Once chakra is lost, even the most powerful jutsu will lose its power.

"Damn it... I... ugh..."

Suddenly, Danzo, kneeling on the ground, writhing in agony. At that moment, many Jonin noticed something was wrong and urgently shouted:

"Lord Shirou! Get back!"

Everyone assumed that Danzo still had some hidden trump card, but no one expected that, along with the blood he was vomiting, a strange white liquid was also expelled.

"This is Wood Release!"

In the next moment, under everyone's shocked gaze, the white liquid and blood from Danzo's severed arm began to mix and grow, sprouting green branches.

At the same time, Danzo let out horrifying screams of pain.

Seeing this, everyone's pupils shrank. Senju Tsunade coldly warned in a commanding tone:

"Don't approach him! The Wood Release cells inside Danzo's body have gone out of control now that they're no longer suppressed by the Sharingan. Getting close will only result in being consumed by the cells!"

This situation had been encountered countless times during earlier experiments with Wood Release.

The Konoha jonin watched in shock as Danzo's screams of agony grew louder, and before their very eyes, a massive tree began to emerge from his body.

"Is he just going to die like that? That's too easy for him!"

With a swift slash, blood splattered as Shirou's figure appeared directly in front of Danzo, the Kusanagi sword in his hand gleaming coldly.

A connected arm—along with part of a leg—was severed in one clean strike.

As the severed limb, consumed by the Wood Release cells and transforming into a tree, fell to the ground, Shirou kicked it away in disgust.

Unexpectedly, his kick sent the limb flying straight toward the Hokage Rock.

Under everyone's stunned gazes, the shoulder fragment, still turning into a tree, landed squarely on the stone face of the Third Hokage.

In the next moment, the terrifying devouring power of the Wood Release cells began absorbing flesh, and as the tree's roots took hold, the massive stone face cracked audibly.

Before everyone's astonished eyes, Konoha's iconic Hokage Rock—the Third Hokage's stone face—visibly sprouted a towering tree.

In an instant, the tree obscured the face of the Third Hokage. The weight of the growing roots caused the cracks in the stone to deepen and spread, and the roots began to collapse, pulling down parts of the stone wall.

With a thunderous crash, a cloud of dust rose from the Hokage Rock as the Third Hokage's face crumbled under the massive tree's weight.

Sarutobi Hiruzen, witnessing this scene, turned pale before his face flushed red with rage. His eyes widened in fury as he screamed:

"Uchiha Shirou!!!"

With a spurt of blood, the Third Hokage could no longer endure the day's events and collapsed, unconscious.

The final straw for him was seeing his likeness on the Hokage Rock—a face that had now been completely consumed by the tree roots.

Now, in the eyes of everyone in Konoha, the stone monument bore the image of a faceless Hokage.

Uchiha Shihrou, witnessing this scene, allowed a faint, innocent smile to cross his face.

"If I said this was an accident, would you believe me, Tsunade?"

But Tsunade, glaring at him, seemed to wordlessly convey, "Do you think I'd believe you?"

At that moment, several Konoha ninjas wearing red armbands appeared in the Hokage building.

"Reporting to Lord Shirou! The medical division is under control!"

"Reporting to Lord Yo! The intelligence division is secured!"

"The police force has fully taken control of Konoha!"

"Lord Shirou..."

As one ninja after another reported in, the ninjas loyal to the Third Hokage grew ashen-faced, while those who had participated in the coup displayed expressions of excitement and fervor.

In a matter of moments, Konoha had undergone a complete transformation.

Under the combined forces of the Uchiha and Senju clans, Konoha had been decisively taken over!

Seeing that Konoha was now fully under his control, Shirou smiled and turned to survey the crowd. He shouted in a commanding voice:

"Now, inform the entire village! The crisis is over, but the village remains under lockdown and on the highest alert. Anyone who dares to disrupt the peace will be executed without mercy!"

"Yes!"

Countless Uchiha and coup-supporting Konoha ninjas roared in excitement.

From the very start, they had been under immense pressure during this armed rebellion. Now, they had succeeded!

Seeing this, Tsunade let out a sigh of relief and smiled faintly. She glanced at Shirou before stepping forward onto the Hokage building to issue orders:

"All Konoha ninjas are to monitor the Sarutobi, Shimura, Mitokado, and Utatane families! Additionally, by the decree of the Hokage, summon back all members of these families currently outside the village!"

"Yes!"

Watching Tsunade's commands, Shirou smiled. Killing was easy, but this was far from over.

On the Hokage building, the ninjas of the Sarutobi and other families were swiftly placed under surveillance. This left them struggling to process the reality of their new situation.

Meanwhile, other Konoha ninjas secretly breathed sighs of relief. No matter what, the village hadn't descended into chaos—a small mercy.

"My arm... how could I lose..."

In a voice filled with despair and collapse, everyone turned to see the hideous figure of Danzo on the Hokage rooftop.

Shirou sneered and coldly ordered:

"Medical ninjas, stop the bleeding. Danzo's crimes haven't been fully uncovered yet—he's not allowed to die just yet!"

"Yes!"

"Kakashi, Shisui!"

"Lord Shirou!"

Hatake Kakashi and Uchiha Shisui, the two youngest Jonin of Konoha, stepped forward with solemn expressions.

Shirou coldly glanced at the unconscious Third Hokage and directly gave his orders:

"Detain Mitokado Homura, Utatane Koharu, and Danzo—these criminals of Konoha—and send them to the Police Force! Investigate them thoroughly!"

"Understood!"

As Shirou issued orders one after another, the faces of the ninjas aligned with the Third Hokage's faction visibly changed. This was essentially branding those high-ranking officials as criminals.

Now, it was simply a matter of uncovering how much more dirt was hidden.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen! Detain him back to the Sarutobi Clan!"

On the surface, it appeared that some dignity was afforded to the Third Hokage, but in reality, he was being completely trampled underfoot.

With Shirou's command, the expressions of Minato Namikaze and Jiraiya shifted. Jiraiya, in particular, wanted to say something but ultimately couldn't find the words and could only remain silent.

At this moment, the Third Hokage's situation was truly precarious!

If the Third Hokage were detained in the Police Force, it would completely tear away the veil of dignity from the Hokage role. This wasn't just a personal issue with the Third Hokage anymore; it was a blow to the prestige of all of Konoha.

Yet Shirou's approach, which on the surface seemed to preserve Konoha's dignity by giving the Third Hokage a semblance of respect, was ruthless and calculated.

The term "detain" was reserved for criminals! This placed the label of guilt on the entire Sarutobi Clan, not just the Third Hokage.

This was why Jiraiya felt frustrated and speechless. Faced with these two options, he could only remain silent and choose the one that seemed to preserve Konoha's reputation.

Through the coordinated efforts of Uchiha Shirou and Senju Tsunade, not only had they taken control of Konoha, but they had also struck a psychological blow.

"Send out the order: convene a Jonin meeting at the Hokage Tower!"

When Uchiha Shirou stood on the rooftop of the Hokage Tower, surveying the gathered crowd, and loudly commanded the convening of the Jonin meeting, a beam of light suddenly pierced through the gloomy sky.

It shone directly on the rooftop of the Hokage Tower, illuminating Uchiha Shirou as if he were a god.

This scene seemed to symbolize the arrival of Konoha's new ruler.
