Chapter 118: Danzo’s Ambush
Uchiha Fugaku and Shisui watched silently as the Raikage brothers walked away. The tension that had gripped their hearts slowly loosened, and they exhaled in relief.
To be honest, facing the Raikage, his brother, and Killer Bee—the Jinchuriki of the Eight-Tails—had been suffocating. The pressure on them was immense. But behind them stood the pride of the Uchiha Clan, and neither Fugaku nor Shisui could afford to take a single step back.
When the rest of the Uchiha clan arrived to support them, Fugaku’s lips curled into a rare, satisfied smile.
"This time, we’ve won a great victory..."
But just as the words left his mouth—
"Enemy attack!" someone shouted.
A hail of shuriken rained down like a storm. Fugaku instinctively summoned his Susanoo, its ribcage forming in an instant to block the initial wave.
From the shadows, a voice full of venom rang out:
"You damn Uchiha. This is where your treacherous clan meets its end!"
The leader stepped forward—none other than Shimura Danzo.
"Tch. Of course it’s you, old dog." Fugaku sneered, not the least bit surprised. "I should’ve known only a snake like you would ambush us when we’re worn down."
