"Flank him!"
"Earth Release: Earth-Style Wall!"
Kakashi, however, reacted quickly, calling out to the surrounding Ninja while rapidly forming hand signs to release Ninjutsu.
He immediately used the Earth-Style Wall, deploying it to Hiruzen Sarutobi's side to block Uchiha Tamahiko's attack route.
"Water Release: Water Formation Wall!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi was also quick, simultaneously forming his own defensive Ninjutsu as the Earth-Style Wall appeared.
But the Earth-Style Wall was shattered by a single punch from Uchiha Tamahiko.
The Anbu on the flank were sent flying in all directions, as if hit by a train.
Hiruzen Sarutobi, surrounded by water, felt something was wrong and tried to use Earth Clone Jutsu to hide himself underground.
But he was still a step too slow.
"Purgatory!"
Uchiha Tamahiko used his Mangekyo's ocular Jutsu.
Although Hiruzen Sarutobi resisted fiercely with his mind, he still fell victim to it.
He instantly lost consciousness.
But at the same time, more Anbu surrounded him.
"I knew you were always wary of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami. Although my ocular Jutsu doesn't require eye contact, its effective range is within ten meters."
"Experience the pain of hell."
"Kakashi, if this old man isn't treated in time, his mental strength will be damaged, and he might very well become senile in the future."
Hiruzen Sarutobi instantly froze in place, no longer moving, but Kakashi and the other Anbu immediately shielded him.
Uchiha Tamahiko, alone, like a fierce tiger, intimidated nearly thirty people.
They were all shocked by the Third Hokage's sudden loss of consciousness. After all, this was the Athena they were protecting; if something happened to him, fighting on would be meaningless.
Leaving that remark, Uchiha Tamahiko rushed directly towards Shisui's location.
Although he really wanted to kill the hypocritical Hiruzen Sarutobi, saving Shisui was more important, so he chose to use his ocular Jutsu to make those present hesitant. Hiruzen Sarutobi was the best choice.
Moreover, this ocular Jutsu couldn't inflict truly fatal injuries on a Kage-level expert.
Given Kakashi's weakened state, he managed to survive Tsukuyomi. For Hiruzen Sarutobi in his current condition, trying to defeat him with just one ocular Jutsu would be difficult.
Saving Shisui was still more important.
"Captain Kakashi!"
The surrounding Anbu turned their attention to Kakashi.
With the highest-ranking individual down, the highest-ranking person on the field naturally had to take charge.
Kakashi hesitated for less than three seconds.
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly woke up.
His face was extremely grim, and he looked mentally drained.
"Kakashi, take your men and pursue him."
"Leave ten men here to put out the fires and arrange for medical Ninja to come."
Hiruzen Sarutobi ordered.
He realized that the opponent couldn't harm Kakashi, so he pushed Kakashi to pursue him.
At the same time, he felt his combat power was severely depleted, and in the current situation, capturing the opponent would be too difficult.
So he regretted his decision and decided not to put himself in danger again, opting to slowly capture this fellow with manpower, but he felt the chances of success were too low.
"Yes!"
The surrounding Anbu immediately obeyed.
Kakashi's emotions were complex, but he still led his men in pursuit.
"My Chakra is more than half depleted, and my mental strength is also severely damaged."
"The side effects of a regular Mangekyo are indeed too great. If I get the chance, I must obtain perfect first hokage cells from Orochimaru to eliminate the Mangekyo's side effects."
Uchiha Tamahiko, relying on his extreme speed, easily broke through layer after layer of encirclement.
Ordinary Ninja simply couldn't stop him. Coupled with the Mangekyo Sharingan's super dynamic vision and the rapid increase in body control after activating the Eight Gates, he was at the peak of his physical condition.
In less than thirty seconds, Uchiha Tamahiko arrived at Shisui's battlefield.
It was a gruesome sight!
Shisui's body was covered in numerous wounds from Kunai and shuriken.
"Danzo!!!"
'Get out here!!!'
Shisui roared.
His blood-red eyes searched for Danzo's main body among the fallen figures around him.
The Root Ninja surrounding Shisui, who should have been devoid of emotion and mere ruthless killing machines,
were all intimidated by Shisui's current state. They still felt the fear of death.
"Konoha Whirlwind!"
Seeing Shisui still alive, Uchiha Tamahiko didn't hesitate and immediately used Might Guy's signature move.
Of the seven Root Ninja still standing, only two escaped with the Substitution Jutsu. The other five were directly kicked away by Uchiha Tamahiko, flying like cannonballs in all directions.
"Uchiha Tamahiko has appeared, Lord Danzo!"
"Anbu are also pursuing him from that side."
Danzo was hidden underground, just like the Root's base.
He was more than three hundred meters away from Danzo, hidden five meters deep underground.
The Sharingan couldn't see through the earth, so Shisui naturally couldn't find Danzo's location.
"What is that Hiruzen doing!"
"Did he let these evil Uchiha escape, and even have the spare capacity to rescue Uchiha Shisui?"
"Don't hold back anymore. This Uchiha Tamahiko also possesses the Mangekyo Sharingan, so there's no need for Shisui to continue living. You all go together and attack with full force!"
Danzo's face was very grim.
He didn't want his plan to be exposed, so he wanted to act quickly and eliminate these two evil Uchiha.
"Yes!"
The four elite Root Ninja still with Danzo immediately charged out, ready to eliminate the Uchiha!
"Shisui, prepare to withdraw."
Uchiha Tamahiko Instant (Shunshin) appeared beside Shisui.
"Where's Danzo? I'm going to kill him!!!"
But Shisui seemed to have fallen into a dark state.
His face was cold, completely disregarding what Uchiha Tamahiko said.
Uchiha Tamahiko even felt as if Shisui might attack him at any moment, as if he had lost some control.
Therefore, Uchiha Tamahiko was not going to humor Shisui.
While Shisui wasn't paying too much attention to him, he went up and punched him in the stomach.
Shisui looked at Uchiha Tamahiko in disbelief, as if saying, 'I can't believe you would betray me!'
"We'll talk when you wake up."
Uchiha Tamahiko said, somewhat exasperated, and then added a chop to his neck.
Shisui, struck hard in the stomach and neck, couldn't resist at all and immediately fainted, collapsing at Uchiha Tamahiko's feet.
"Earth Release: Swamp of the Underworld!"
Although the others on the field were also stunned by this internal Uchiha conflict,
the elites who rushed from Danzo's side were decisive in their actions, immediately using restrictive Ninjutsu, preparing to trap the two first.
Uchiha Tamahiko hooked Shisui with his right foot, hoisted him up, and then carried him on his shoulder.
"Lightning Release: Falling Thunder!"
"Wind Release: Gale Blade!"
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Jutsu!"
At the same time, several other Anbu followed closely, releasing Ninjutsu to attack Uchiha Tamahiko.
The ground beneath their feet instantly became like a swamp, trapping Uchiha Tamahiko's feet.
"Boom!"
A dark red Susanoo skeleton immediately enveloped Uchiha Tamahiko, blocking all the Ninjutsu.
Kakashi also arrived at the scene with over a dozen Anbu.
