Darkness engulfed the entire place, no light was there only darkness, even with Sharingan Sasuke couldn't see what was going on, let alone Danzo.
Originally, Shadow Garden was a complete dome of darkness but yet people could see each other inside.
Shika after using this against Urashki for the first time realized that he don't need that, in fact it was completely pointless since with his practice in silent killing he learn from Zabuza's, he can work even in the absence of his sight.
His Domain wasn't an outright offence one like Unlimited Void of Malovelent Shrine, it just enchance his ability to use his of Ten Shadow to higher degree.
Since that was the case, then he decided to use it as much as in his favor, so with a simple bringing vow, he simple just remove the ability to see inside the Domain.
Thought it was per domain basic, so he could change it if he wants to, binding vows work on the basic of Risks.
The cost of taking away others ability to see was his own sight inside the domain. Might be a downgrade for others but not for him.
As soon as the Domain was deployed, everyone was blind, Danzo who was about to detonate himself stopped midway while Sasuke who was about to go Chidori flaring also stopped all her moment.
This was very similar to the hidden mist technique which Shika use against him, he knew that but this was more than that, he could feel it.
A lost of sight for a dojutsu user was extremely compromising position, so Sasuke usually find it ridiculous how Shika willingly put himself in such situation.
Danzo not being able to see anything was in an passive situation right now, he was ready to detonate him, sacrifice his life to protect the village from the evil of Uchiha.
However, that depends on whether he can take down the two demon's spawns, without taking them down, his dying here had no meaning. So he buy his time waiting for a way to us his last trump card.
Little did he knew that, that was a blunder on his part. Shika didn't do anything for a little while, making both Danzo and Sasuke confuse and anxious.
"Shika, what are you doing ?" Sasuke asked but no one reply. Not even others could hear him. Shika use yet another binding vow to completely cut off sound waves inside the domain. Though unlike sight, he could hear them.
Now he can even say this was his own dark void. And for a good reason. Cutting others senses was important to make his domain more deadly or dangerous.
Danzo after waiting there for few more minutes had enough so he immediately started to waving hand signs, of course suspected this being Genjutsu and tried dispelling it, didn't work.
Now, he was planning on shattering this shadow jutsu entirely, however just as he was about to do that, he felt a heart felt palpitation. Something was wrong. he could feel it but neither he saw anything nor he heard anything wrong around him.
And the next second something slam into him with so much power that it directly pulverised his bones and ruptured all of his muscles. If Shika haven't block the sound then there would have been a very loud crash sound just about now.
Even before Danzo could think about using his last trump card, he was defeated. Not just defeated but completely knocked out. Maybe death, Shika can't say for sure. The Ox sometimes is not under his control on how much power he generates when charging.
Shika didn't got much time after using Ox against Urashiki. The power he generated by charging up was not linear at all, it hard to say how much power it can generate by charging how much distance. He only saw what the Ox was truly capable of when he use it against Urahiski.
This particular Shikigami was power, he certainly can't use it against agile Ninja all the time but as long as the target is stationed in one place and there is enough place for the Ox to charge, it can generate devastating results.
So, after learning what the Ox was capable of, Shika's mind immediately started to find way to keep his target stationed in one place and provide Ox enough place to charged up.
Both things can be achieved easily with just his domain, another part of him using binding vow to remove both vision and hearing inside his domain was this, that enemy don't see the Ox coming.
And just as the shadow had engulfed the place, the shadow receaded. Leaving Sasuke there stood in daze, wondering what just happened.
He looked around and saw Shika too there staring down at an completly blood soaked body of Danzo.
He went down and check on him…" Yeah, he can't be more death. We are done here." Shika smiled and then got up, after making sure he store Danzo's body inside a scroll.
" What was that…" Sasuke now didn't care, though he wanted to kill Danzo himself after partially knowing that he was behind Uchiha clan's massacre, however he knew his own strength well.
He wouldn't have stand a chance, a fact that both angered him and made him more determined to get stronger. And now he knew how can help him get strong.
He stare at Shika with burning eyes, however, refrain from saying anything for the time being. This wasn't the time.
"What now…" Sasuke asked him, as they both just stood there in silence.
"Now we get out of here, this village entirely, I made sure that there is no one who will know about this, at least not until morning, so we have some time.
Go and get ready. If you want to meet someone then do so. This village don't have anything anymore which can make us stronger.
Staying here will only cost us more time and delay our goal. Of course, if you don't want to then forget it, just go back to your apartment and forget anything happened. No one will suspect you I will make sure about it." Shika said and waited for Sasuke's response.
He didn't wanted to do this, he can still stay in the village and no one will doubt a thing that he was the one who killed Danzo and other elders, however, what the point in staying here and waiting for the things to spiral out of control.
In just less than two years, the most troublesome organization in this world will start looking for the Jinchuriki's.
He wasn't just gonna waste here and let them do that, if possible he rather finish them all before they even start their main mission.
Something which he certainly can't do if he stay in Village.
"Are you in…" Shika asked, not sure whether Sasuke was ready to go without the village? In the anime he did but the anime was much different. This Sasuke was much different than that revenge filled brat.
"Hm, don't Take too long, meet me outside as soon as possible." Sasuke said and walked off.
"Huh, maybe not that different." Shika shrugged. His mind was already planning things out on how he gonna work from now on.
"I will be needing a team, I alone can't do anything. Then there is a base of operation and funds.
To go against the likes of Akatsuki, Obito, Black Zetsu and Madara Uchiha. I have to get stronger and plan things rights." Shika mutter and then look around him.
"I should thanks Danzo in this regards, he left many resources here for me to start with…. " Shika grinned.

"Lady Tsunade, Lady Tsunade, something has happened, they need you in the Hokage Office as soon as possible." Shizune shouted as he abruptly entered into the Tsunade's office which nowadays she use it as a home.
Why ? Some might asked, when she got an entire Senju mansion under her name…
Well…she just like Shika was just too lazy to go back to Senju mansion, she rather just sleep there in her office and wait Shizune to bring her food. It was a good life.
Beside not being able to gamble that is, no casino let her in, she still owe too much money in there. But her being a Sannin, they can't outright stopped her from entering, so they always make some kind of excuse to her. As for the money she own, for them its as good as gone.
"Shizune, don't shout, my head is killing me.." Tsunade said with clutching her head, she had a little too much alcohol last night, too happy to see those elders sulking faces.
'That kid sure know how to make life interesting…' A grin form in her face, however, that grin was gone as soon as it came when Shizune again open her mouth. Delivering a news so shocking that her heart almost jump out of her mouth.
"What….!" She shouted, asking her to repeat what she just said, however the answer was same…
She froze in her place and then her mind suddenly went towards a single person.
"Shizune, quickly go and find that Nara kid. Make sure he is staying put, hurry." Tsunade said as she sprung out of her bed, still clutching her head but he rushed to chance her half-dress state nonetheless and quickly ran out to the Hokage office.
Poor Shizune was left there alone with confusion on her face…'Why go and fine Shika in this time ? She wanted to asked but years of serving as a Kunoichi put her mind back to the task allocated to her and before he knew it, he was already moving towards the Nara Compound.
.
.
.
By the time Tsunade arrive at the hokage Office, the entire place was in a tense environment. Many high level people were there, from Anbu head to the clan heads.
"Tsunade, you are finally here." Jiraiya came near her with solem look on his face, his usual perverse look and childish antics were long gone, right now he was looking very serious.
"Jiraiya, what happened. Did the Anbu find anything ?" Tsunade sounded anxious. Half of the reason why she was sounding like this was what happened yesterday.
"We are not sure, its only up this moraine that Anbu found the two elders dead. There was no clue, no Chakra trace or poison, it didn't even look like a human's work.
The entire place was bloodied and it look like an wild beast got inside and rip them to spreads.
By the bite marks and claws, we think that it was an lion or a tiger." Jiraiya explain the situation. Making Tsunade's heart clench as her mind went to who use beast in the village.
Beside the Inozuka clan and few shinobi like Kakashi, not many do. Except the person who she was suspecting.
"What kind of animal are we talking about, is it like a dog ?" Tsunade asked, since this was Jiraiya, asking a little more suspicion arising questions were fine.
Jiraiya, being the intelligent agent he was, immediately found that Tsunade was hinting at something or someone. his own mind raced and he figure out whom.
However, he didn't voice it, he personally don't believe Shika would do something like this.
Yes, who else have so many beast under his control in the village escape Shika. It was no hard thing to figure that out, especially for him who has spend time with Shika and seen him fighting.
"No… the wound and the claw marks are too big and wide to be cause by dogs, and which dog can take down those two old crooks when 3 world Shinobi wars failed to do so…" Jiraiya reply and even added a little joke to lighten the mood.
He was trying to ease Tsunade's worries, neither he nor Tsunade are fond of those elders, if possible they would like to kill them with their own hands but no can do.
What they now was worried about Shika…
"What do you thing Shikaku… Inoichi did the intelligence core found any clues ?" Asked someone who was in high position.
"No… there was no clue what so ever, the assassination was neat and clean, even if there was any clue then the beast which tear the entire place apart ruin it all." Inoichi shook his head.
"We have to find who did it, do you suspect anyone ?" Someone asked and as soon as whoever it was asked this, many gave a slight glance towards the Inozuka patriarch.
She was there, and due to the nature of the incident, her clan was in the most crutiny.
However, without proof, no one dared to say anything. Just as the situation was getting more and more tense, suddenly one asked this.
"Where is Danzo, something this big happened, he should be here." Asked Jiraiya, he purely did to ease the tense room but what he said struck a chord with others.
They never bother telling this to Danzo becuase he somehow learns what's going on in the village anyway. But him not being here was… suspicious.
"Did someone call for Danzo Sama ?"
"…"
"Go and call Danzo here, he might have some information he wants to share with us…"
So soon an Anby was send to the hidden Root base to call Danzo, only from him to hurriedly run back with anxiety in his tone.
"Jiraiya Sama, Lady Tsunade… Danzo Sama he… the entire root base has been destroyed, we found the entire place bloodied but no dead body was found…
Danzo Sama is nowhere to be found…" Shouted the Anbu to their dismay.
"What did you say!"
"Are you sure what you are saying. Did you go inside to check ?" Jiraiya asked with a little disbelieve in his tone.
He can understand that someone infiltrate the village and kill the Hokage Advisors. That was possible no matter how hard it was.
But to be able to kill someone like Danzo, inside his root base no less… that was almost impossible. In their, Danzo's safety is even better than Hokage in the village.
"Hmm yes Jiraiya Sama,… we checked in upon not getting any news from the Root, upon entering and not getting stopped by Root, we were suspicious and started looking around. The entire place was destroyed and bloodied." The Anbu said with trembling voice, not only Jiraiya but others too were looking at him. The pressure on him was enough to make his voice come out in shaky tone.
And upon sensing that the Anbu wasn't lying, Jiraiya said.
"I am going there,… I have to check it out for myself." Jiraiya said and rushed, and many other shinobi, clan head and anbu alike followed him.
By the time they reach the root base, they all were completely gobsmacked by what they saw.
The entire root base was in ruin, this was the first time they have visited this place, even Hokage himself haven't seen all what this place had to offer before it become like this.
However soon they came back to their senses and they started to look around to find any clue.
Unfortunately they not gonna, Shika remove anything which could be a clue. Zabuza's skills were really good for this.
Tsunade at this time wasn't there, unlike others, she was the only one who didn't went to the Root base, rather she directly went to find Shika. She had a feeling that that kid was involved in this.
She directly went to Shika's apartment, not her first time, many times she had to drag napping Shika from there to the hospital. She now know every hiding place in Shika's apartment...
By the time she reach his house, she found Shizune inside while mountain of books and records in Shika's room. Shizune was furiously reading all the records with her eyes wide.
"Shizune, what is this all. Where is that kid ?" Tsunade asked with contemplation in her voice.
Now she was really having a bad feeling about this. And what Shizune said next solidified her feeling.
