Chapter 64: Chapter 64: If That's the Case, Let's Open the Seventh Gate!
Danzo Shimura stared at Uchiha Akira with a grim expression. Ever since learning of Akira's prophetic abilities, Danzo had been fixated on eliminating him. Akira was a major variable that could disrupt the Uchiha massacre.
However, when Danzo informed Hiruzen Sarutobi of this, the Third Hokage did not
immediately agree to eliminate Akira. Fine, Hiruzen could keep his moral high ground, bask in the love of the village, and continue being the righteous Hokage everyone admired. But someone had to do the dirty work, and that someone was Danzo.
As the shadow of Konoha, Danzo was accustomed to handling such unsavory tasks. Thus, he devised a plan to lure Akira into a trap. Fortunately, Akira's prophetic ability wasn't
something he could use at will, which gave Danzo an opportunity.
After a while, when Danzo didn't receive word that his subordinates had successfully led Akira into the trap, he suspected something had gone wrong and rushed over. Sure enough, he arrived just in time to sense the residual energy from a Chidori and find his men dead.
Though slightly unexpected, it wasn't a major setback. Akira was stronger than anticipated, but with the backup Danzo brought, Akira would not escape.
"Uchiha Akira, do you have any last words?" Danzo asked, his voice calm and confident, as if he already held the upper hand.
"You're asking the wrong person," Akira replied coolly. "It should be me asking you that question. You think you can kill me, Uchiha Akira, with just these lowly subordinates? Isn't that a bit too naïve?"
Despite their numbers, the Root ninjas couldn't take Akira down easily. After several exchanges, they finally managed to corner him, forcing him to retreat-but only for him to immediately switch places with another clone.
"This technique really is troublesome," Danzo muttered, shaking his head as he observed the fight. Even though he had brought six elite Root members, it was clear that capturing Akira quickly wasn't going to be easy.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, Danzo's gaze shifted toward Keiko, who was standing nearby, then he raised his hands and formed hand seals.
"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!"
Danzo exhaled sharply, sending a razor-sharp wind blade hurtling toward Keiko, its cutting edge seemingly unstoppable.
"So, you really have no shame," Akira thought, cursing Danzo internally for targeting Keiko to disrupt his concentration.
"If that's how it's going to be, then it's time to stop holding back-let's open the Seventh Gate!"
