As Danzo's words fell, Uchiha Itachi groaned.

Two distinct trails of blood flowed down from his Mangekyō Sharingan eyes, tracing his cheeks like crimson tears.

His entire aura deflated in an instant.

He imdiately activated the Body Flicker Technique and retreated into the distance.

Uchiha Haru didn't pursue.

The outco had been decided.

Uchiha Itachi had lost.

Danzo's brow furrowed deeply. His first thought was that Itachi had intentionally thrown the fight.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

He knew Itachi well, and their deal was ironclad. Itachi wouldn't hold back.

Which ant...

Danzo's expression darkened with growing concern.

Even though Uchiha Itachi was young, his strength was already close to incomprehensible.

In terms of raw ability, he was not much weaker than Danzo himself. But now, he'd been defeated — and not in a battle of physical strength or ninjutsu.

He had lost in genjutsu.

The one field in which Itachi reigned supre, where he was said to be unmatched even among the elite Uchiha.

A wielder of the Mangekyō Sharingan losing in a genjutsu battle?

Impossible.

Unless... the opponent also had the Mangekyō Sharingan.

The realization hit Danzo like a blow to the chest.

His single visible eye locked on Uchiha Haru, narrowing sharply.

And Haru, as if in response, allowed his eyes to be fully seen.

Within the crimson light, the three tomoe spun and joined together into a blade-shaped pattern—

Mangekyō Sharingan.

Danzo's breath hitched. His face, usually unreadable, betrayed rare shock.

As he had feared, only Mangekyō Sharingan could defeat Mangekyō Sharingan.

Even though he'd already suspected it, seeing it with his own eyes brought an overwhelming wave of dread.

The Wood Release, Konoha's fabled bloodline limit belonging to the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama...

And the Uchiha Clan's ultimate dōjutsu, Mangekyō Sharingan...

To think both would appear in one individual.

Uchiha Haru.

Such a person... must not be allowed to live.

"Go. Kill him."

Danzo's voice was low and calm, but his exposed eye glead with murderous intent.

The two Root ninjas beside him hesitated.

Kill him?

Was he serious?

He possessed both Mangekyō Sharingan and Wood Release.

Even Uchiha Itachi had failed to take him down. How could they?

This was suicide.

"Hmph?"

Danzo glanced at them with cold disdain.

That alone made them flinch back.

Their fear of Danzo outweighed their survival instincts. Clenching their teeth, they moved.

They had no choice.

Though elite jōnin, these Root mbers weren't known for brute strength.

They were specialists, each possessing unique talents that made them valuable in support roles — not front-line combat.

But orders were orders.

"Secret Technique: Poisonous Insect Jutsu!"

The ninja on the left launched forward. His hands ford seals, and insects began swarming from every part of his body.

They surged across the battlefield like a tidal wave of black, seeking Haru's chakra.

He was clearly from the Abura clan.

The second ninja followed swiftly.

"Mind Transfer Jutsu!"

No sound. No light.

To an untrained eye, it looked like nothing had happened.

But those familiar with Yamanaka techniques knew the danger.

While most ninjutsu attacked the body, the Mind Transfer Technique targeted the soul — attempting to take over the enemy's consciousness directly.

Of course, it had very low success rates in solo combat. It typically required precise coordination with a team.

That was how Konoha's famous Ino-Shika-Chō trio fought — with synchronized team strategies.

But now, one Yamanaka against Uchiha Haru?

It was laughable.

Haru didn't even flinch.

As the wave of insects surged toward him, he raised a hand and calmly unleashed a jutsu.

"Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique."

A massive inferno burst forth, roaring into a sphere of searing fla.

It rolled across the battlefield like a flaming teor.

The dense cloud of insects, which had almost blocked out the sky, instantly combusted on contact.

Before they could even reach Haru, the heat alone incinerated hundreds.

Screams of burning insects filled the air.

The Abura's face twisted with grief. He imdiately directed the remainder of the swarm to scatter, attempting to minimize losses.

But the offensive had already collapsed.

As for the Yamanaka, he was still pressing the Mind Transfer Jutsu.

Pointless.

It didn't even register on Haru.

If they weren't both wearing Root-issued masks, Danzo would've seen just how pathetic and desperate their expressions had beco.

This was hopeless.

They weren't attackers. They were support.

Yet they'd been sent to the frontlines against a monster.

This wasn't just dangerous. It was a death sentence.

At that mont, the Root operatives who had been spread out across the surrounding area finally arrived, drawn by the battle's intensity.

They arrived to a scene straight out of a nightmare.

They froze as they took it in.

Mangekyō Sharingan.

Wood Release.

Uchiha Itachi defeated.

What kind of monster was this?

"All units, attack! Kill him!"

Danzo's voice thundered.

Dozens of Root ninjas surged forward like a black tide, surrounding Haru from all directions.

"Trying to overwhelm with numbers?"

Haru chuckled, then ford hand seals.

"Wood Release: Multi-Wood Clone Technique!"

He'd faced Root's human-wave tactics before.

He had a solution.

No allies?

Then create so.

But this technique required a massive amount of chakra.

Most shinobi, even S-rank, couldn't use it.

But Haru was not most shinobi.

He had Otsutsuki blood.

He had Mangekyō Sharingan.

He had Wood Release.

Only soone like him could use it in battle.

As he completed the jutsu, identical figures erged beside him.

One... two... five... ten...

Then twenty... thirty... fifty...

The clones multiplied rapidly, too many to count.

Root operatives faltered. Panic set in.

One Uchiha Haru was bad enough.

Now there were dozens.

No, possibly hundreds.

Even knowing clones weren't as strong as the original didn't ease the terror of being surrounded by Mangekyō Sharingan users.

The atmosphere grew suffocating.

Danzo narrowed his eyes.

This was getting out of control.

He had hoped that sheer numbers, paired with Abura and Yamanaka techniques, would suppress Haru quickly.

But the clone technique had turned everything on its head.

Another miscalculation.

Too many of those today.

And the cost might just be fatal.
