Chapter 8: Chapter 8 - Start Of A Long Night (5)
Inside an underground hall, an old man was sitting on his chair proudly like he was some sort of King. Besides him were his two trusted guards, and in front were the rest of his underlings, which were nothing more than objects for him to use.
That man was none other than Danzo Shimura, the leader of The Root and the secret lover of Hiruzen, The Third Hokage, who seemed to have a soft spot for him and let him do anything he wanted.
"No one shall leave the base till I say so, and be ready to enter the village at any time," Danzo ordered his ninjas, who nodded immediately like good puppies.
'Good, everything is going according to the plan.' Danzo smirked as he realized that he literally could not suffer a loss tonight and would be the ultimate victor regardless of what happened tonight.
If Itachi completes his mission, which he was sure he would, then he will have a lot of Sharingans for himself, and when that happens, no one will be able to stop him.
However, if somehow Itachi had a change of mind and joined his clan's side, then he would simply watch the fight between the Uchiha Clan and The Village from the sideline and attack them when they are at their weakest to take over Konoha and become the next Hokage.
No matter how you think, it was a win-win situation for Danzo. The only bad thing that could happen was a truce between the two parties which was very unlikely.
"Go to the gates and wait for my order," Danzo said as he sent his minions towards the gate and waited for his messenger to bring back the good news to him so he could rush to the village and rob The Sharingans out of the dead bodies of Uchiha Clan members.
At that point, he had no idea that his plans were going to fail terribly and that he was going to die a miserable death.
'So the Root only had around 70-80 ninjas huh?' Itachi who was hiding behind a pillar while being in his stealth mode, watched the ninjas leaving the underground hall and rushing towards the gates.
Soon, the whole hall became empty, so Itachi decided to attack. He had patiently waited for everyone to leave since he didn't want to kill those who were forced to follow Danzo.
'I didn't expect Danzo's guards to be Fu and Torune' Itachi said in his mind as he saw two elite ninjas standing besides Danzo. He recognized them from the anime. They were the same ninjas that fought Obito and survived for some minutes, which was impressive, but Itachi didn't care much about them.
'The only threat here is Kotoamatsukami, ' Itachi thought as he looked at Danzo's right eye, which was covered with a bandage.
Although he knew that Shisui's right eye was way weaker than his left one and had a weaker version of Kotoamatsukami, he still wanted to proceed with caution.
'I don't want to kill them too fast. Their balls could give me quite a good amount of points, ' Itachi thought for a moment. He could kill them if he attacked them with all of his might, but he would lose the opportunity to farm ball points out of them.
Thankfully, Itachi had a high level of intellect so he immediately made a genius plan to deal with those three.
'Amaterasu' Itachi's eyes changed their pattern, and he attacked Danzo's nose with his black flames, which not only caused him to bleed out from his eye but also put him out of his stealth mode automatically.
"Aaaarghhhhhhhh!" Danzo screamed as his face became a furnace of black flames, which started burning his skin instantly.
"Lord Danzo!!!" Both of the guards immediately noticed the flames and came to his rescue.
"REMOVE...THIS FROM.....MY FACE!" Danzo kept shouting as he tried to extinguish the fire with his hands, but they also ended up getting caught by the fire.
"There he is," Fu said as he rushed towards Itachi's location. Since he was a sensory ninja, he found Itachi in some seconds after he got out from his stealth.
"Fu kill the intruder and alert everyone. I'll handle this" Torune said as he put his hands on Danzo and tried to use his insects to stop the fire.
'What the hell is this fire? Why is this burning all of my bugs?' Torune thought as his bugs kept getting burned to ashes. He was trying his best to keep his arms protected by constantly sacrificing his bugs who were acting like a temporary shield between his skin and Amaterasu.
"Where are you, Fu? I can't hold on for long. We need ninjas who excel in water jutsus," Torune yelled, but he didn't receive any answers from Fu, so he turned around to see what happened to Fu.
"Fu!!!" Torune yelled as he saw his co-worker lying down dead and bleeding from his pants and neck.
"You're next," Itachi said as he threw a kunai towards Torune's crotch, who didn't dodge it and ended up tanking it because if he had dodged it, then it could have hit Danzo. They are trained to become Danzo's meat shield, so they are forced to protect him at all costs.
"Ahhhh!" Torune shouted as he fell on his knees unintentionally, which made him lose control over his bugs, so Amaterasu reached his hands and started to burn them.
[4 ball-points]
Since Torune was a minor character in the show, his balls gave Itachi more points than random ninjas, just like Fu.
'I gotta finish this quick.' Itachi rushed towards the burning duo as he felt dozens of ninjas coming towards the underground hall, which was probably due to Danzo's screaming.
"STOP THIS.....ITACHI" Danzo shouted in agony after seeing Itachi as his upper body was almost fully burned.
However, Itachi didn't bat an eye and simply threw 2 kunais towards Danzo. One of which hit his eye and the other pierced his balls.
"Don't even try to use that against me," Itachi said as he stopped Danzo from using Kotoamatsukami, which was his last-ditch effort to save his life.
[27 Ball-Points]
"HELP!" Danzo muttered with helplessness, so Itachi stopped his Amaterasu on Danzo and walked up to him.
"You deserved all this" Itachi said as he pulled out his kunai from Danzo's balls.
After pulling out the kunai, Danzo's balls were still dangling with his kunai so he shoved that same kunai in Danzo's mouth to make him eat his own testicles. Unfortunately, that kunai ended up killing him faster than he expected.
"A fitting death for a scum," Itachi said as he also killed Torune with a kunai and turned around to engage with the upcoming Root ninjas.
