Both Shika and Sasuke were making their way towards Danzo's office after finally making sure that Karin was safe and escorted out of the root base and the rest of the clones and Shikigami are taking care of the root shinobi.
However, it wasn't that easy as it seems. The clones only acted against shinobi who were not on their path, for the sake of eradicating everyone in the root, maximizing efficiency was the most important. Shika and Sasuke though had to make their way through the main path which leads to Danzo on their own. And they have to be fast, sooner or later they will be alert and this was Danzo's Layer, there is no way to keep that old man here once he decides to run away.
"They are here..." Sasuke said and his Sharingan activated, giving him excellent visual prowess to locate anyone in the dark.
"Yeah..." Shika was the same, this might be the first time after Baki that he would be using his Sharingan in action.
'Monkey, Dragon, Rat, Bird, Ox, Snake....' Snake quickly started to make handsigns, by hand signs alone Shika knew what he was planning on doing.
Just as he was about to complete his handsign for his famous jutsu, Shika grab his hands, stopping him from activating the jutsu.
"What are you doing." Sasuke turn his red Sharingan towards him with a glare asking to provide a good reason what his action.
"Don't waste chakra, you will need it when fighting Danzo, and this enemy are not even worth using Chidori against anyway." Shika said, wouldn't stop him if it was a fire jutsu though but Chidori consumes too much chakra.
Huffing Sasuke just stopped but kept on glaring at Shika like asking to show if he had any better idea.
The Root members were almost upon them and Shika was ready as well.
"A good fighter knows how to take advantage of the terrain." Shika smile a little and observed the narrow cave lane, and clap both of his hands together.
"This jutsu..." Sasuke eyes slightly flicker with recognition and then he just grumbles internally.
"Convergence..." Shika spoke softly, another little binding vow activating opon revealing his next technique and making it slightly stronger, it doesn't matter though none here had any place to hide from what about to come.
Just as those root shinobi were engage in fight with both Shika and Sasuke, a jet of water escape from the tip of Shika's clap's hands like a laser, towards them.
The stream of water was fast enough to pierce the head of the shinobi exactly opposite to Shika in fraction of second before the reason horror begins.
Shika started to move around his hands and started cutting down those root shinobi. Wherever that water steam pass, only body parts seperated and blood sprut out of the shinobi's body. The power of the technique was so that even the wall of the cave and the ground wasn't spared by the laser like cutting power of Shika's water convergence.
With in second the twenty or so Shinobi, having no place to escape were chop down to size of foot balls with blood overflowing all around.
Sasuke on the side just stood there, making no movement but his eyes, his eyes were shaking seeing how powerful this technique was.
For a spilt second this moment reminded him of what took place all those years ago, no this was much worst.
He slowly turn towards Shika and purse his lips, his teeth clench.
'How much more, how much are you hiding. If you are really this strong then why not just go and kill that man....' Sasuke really wanted to asked but he refrained from opening his mouth, becuase now even he was running after the answers more than blood.
'I knew that man who was with that boy who looked like Naruto was familiar. Shika might have realized it as well.
Good thing that I went to him before he was gone for good. All I get was more questions and no answers, however, I now know what I am supposed to do.
I Sasuke will look for answers, find the truth, no like him who only went after revenge and...
... and stay away from that Sakura as much as possible for some reason, what does he mean by not to marry?
"Yo... why the intense look, can't handle gore or something..." Suddenly Shika asked after seeing how serious Sasuke was looking their, making Sasuke get out of his daze and he just turn his head to avoid the eye contact.
"Hm... my fire ball could have done the same..." He grumbles before keep up the pace.
'Hmm... what his problem ?' Shika just sighed and continued to move forward.
.
.
.
Soon they arrived at Danzo's office, it was a gloomy place just like him, but who cares about how it looks like. What matter more was that Danzo was there and in front of him where many of his Root Shinobi.
"Sharingan..." Danzo was composed even after his root base was infiltrated. Even knowing that it was the Nara boy who did was didn't shake him as much it did after seeing Sharingan in Shika's eyes. Though he was still skeptical how Shika got out of Kotoamatsukami but seeing a Sharingan in his eyes, he had his doubts.
"23 guards... really ?
How insecure you have to be..." Shika can't help but roll his eyes seeing just how many root shinobi stood infont of them to protect Danzo.
"I should have known, you are of the evil Uchiha blood. And you... Sasuke Uchiha, you should have died back then with your clan..." Danzo was said, again in his calm tone but there was an strange emotion on them. He was greedily starting at Shika's and Sasuke's Sharingan.
"What do you..." Sasuke was saying but Shika immediately cut him off, asking a question of his own.
"Why the the village do it. Why the upper management of the village wanted Uchiha gone..." Shika never let Sasuke asked who did it. Rather asking in a way that they already know that, but wasn't sure why.
Sasuke glance at Shika for a second, not he was pondering whether Shika already knew about this ? if yes, then why not tell him ?
But Shika had already asked the question, so he didn't say anything, as long as Danzo reply he will get the answer to his question as well.
"I have no idea what you are talking about, why would the upper..." Danzo sly dog still wasn't sprouting out the truth.
"Cut the bullshit, I know the entire upper management was involve, even the Hokage and you. Tell me why they did it, why you asked Itachi to do it..." Shika asked, now his words certainly made Sasuke surprised. His glare intensified at both Shika and Danzo. Clenching his teeth he kept his silence, this wasn't the right time to question Shika about the truth and how much he knew.
Danzo on the other hand didn't spoke for few seconds, like trying to see whether what the boy was staying was something he knew or he was just testing him. Upon seeing no hesitation on Shika, he narrowed his eyes.
"Who told you, I know you come in contact with Itachi... was it him." Danzo said with a threat in his voice.
'Well that much confirm it that it was you... enough for Sasuke I believe. And if now then there are certainly other ways... like poking what he was hiding behind that arm and that one eye of his...' Shika thought, trying resisting the smirk which was forming at the corner of his lips.
"I have my ways, now say it, why Konoha did that to the Uchiha, especially why the upper management is so biased towards the Uchiha," Shika asked again with his chakra flaring up. Now even Sasuke was back to his revenge-crazed state, still now he was holding back partially becuase he had no proof and wanted answers before taking any major actions but now... there was nothing stopping him.
Now, he knew the real culprit behind the Uchiha clan Annihilation.
"I have no answers for you two accursed Uchiha spawns. You have acted against the village, you both will die here..." As soon as Danzo was done talking all the Root shinobi, beside few who remain back to protect Danzo rush at both Shika and Sasuke.

Root members rush at both Shika and Sasuke, without a word they knew who they were going after, they in their mind set their enemies and rush foward.
'Fire style...' Sasuke's hand turn into a blur and quickly form hand signs for fire ball jutsu.
Within fraction of seconds, Sasuke draw huge gush of air inside him and then a might fireball rush at those Root members.
However, this shinobi were not like the one from earlier, they were the best among the best in Root. You know, Danzo handpick them when they are protecting him. And more so ever, Sasuke was still just a Chunin level shinobi. Sharingan or not, he wasn't strong enough to handle all those people.
Shika's move at the same time, knowing the infamous history of almost every fire base jutsu in this darn world, expecting it to hit anyone would be like expecting hitting a lottery on the first try.
Quickly forming handsigh, he activate his own justu.
Mist started to from around the office, thankfully due to the enclose nature of the place, it was much easier and quicker for Shika to use his Hidden mist jutsu.
Within seconds the entire place was submerge in mist, the visibility drop to its lowest point.
"Wind style, Great....Ahaaaaaaa..." One of the root shinobi was about to use the wind jutsu to clear away the area but just before that he even use the technique he was attack by something. Mist didn't allow anyone to know what but by the sounds of growls and grunts its definately not a human.
An beast ?
"Its that brats summon beast... they can smell you..." Danzo from behind grunted, he was the only one who remember all of Shika's powers enough to know this.
Shika hidden in the mist smirked, 'Those dogs, acting before I even say anything...' He sounded like he was complaining but he was smiling at this time.
"Alright, I can't remain behind, lets start...
Kidney... Heart... Throat... Liver, which one you guys would like me to chop of first." Shika almost laugh, using Zabuza's talent in silent killing he almost became a blur with his new Kusanagi sword which he stole from Orochimaru in his hand.
"Ahaaa...
"Hurry get out....
"Wind style...
"Retreat... retreat..."
The painful howls and grunts of those root shinobi filled the entire place, Shika was smiling almost ear to ears while using his new toy he practice so much on in his free time. This was the first time he was getting to use this sword.
"Tch... this guy," Sasuke thought wasn't having that much fun, almost immediately after he rushed that Shika use this technique, even with Sharingan his visibility was almost none, this was irritating. He can't do anything right now.
Back then in the chunin exam, this was the jutsu which gave him the most trouble, he doubted that even if he got a power-up from the curse mark back then would he be able to beat Shika if he continued to use this technique.
"Aha..." The painful cries of Root members kept on coming making Danzo on the side angry seeing how his personal force was getting devastated by a single person.
Up on being able to take it anymore. He decided to take a little risk and expose his position by using a wind style and removing this mist.
Little did he knew that Shika was ready for something like this, becuase he already have use a binding vow on this technique.
Though the technique can be disturb by wind base jutsu, there he could do nothing about, however he could in make the mist not dissapear at the cost of making the area of the effect smaller.
The moment Danzo use his wind style, the mist all around instead of clearing out, rush towards him. Concentrating most of the mist around him, clearing away the other sides first.
Danzo was stunt, this was the first time he has experience something like this, but he didn't had enough time to stay confuse either becuase there was a reason why Shika design the technique and binding vow this way.
Is to take out the wind style user first.
Next second, a sharp blade rush right at him, it wasn't even a thrown projectile but rather a sword with extending blade.
This was Shika's Kusanagi blade, he could extend the length of this blade, and this was no longer just any normal blade, upon infusing this blade daily with this curse technique, this has become a curse tool. Capable of inflicting massive damage as long as it connects.
Danzo was fast enough to jerk his head on the side, avoiding the blade which was faster than any thrown kunai he had seen up to date but still, it cost him.
The blade passed only few inches part from his ear and then another one of Shika's jutsu was waiting to trap him. A sound...
A high pitch sound was heard and before Danzo could even know what happened his entire body was stiffened.
His eyes widen to the extreme... his body was paralysed, it wasn't the shadow technique either, he was especially looking out for those due to whom he was fighting. This was the sound technique he got from Zaku. He integrated this with his swordsmanship, close combat now is a lot more fun for him and much dealier for others.
"Surprise bitch..." before he could even comprehend what was it, another sound came this was right on top of him.
Shika now knowing where Danzo was exactly didn't waited at all, the next second he vanish from his one sided killing spree and appear right on top of Danzo.
Danzo's eyes went wide again, it was hard to move right now but as his chakra flare up, he was able to move his body and dodge back. The Shinobi around him also notice this and acted but before they could move they were almost froze in their place, turns out unlike Danzo they weren't looking out for Shadows.
Danzo dodge back,missing Shika's upcoming attack by hairs length, already preparing a jutsu, just as the form of Shika landed in front of him, he vanished.
"Genjutsu... but when?!" Danzo was alarm, he was on guard from a genjutsu when fighting with a Sharingan user but he was sure he didn't look into those eyes at all, beside the first time when those two brats enter here, there was this darn mist to see anything anyway. And he was certain he wasn't in Genjutsu that time.
"Eye contact is not the only way to activate a Genjutsu. Touch, Sound, Smell, anything which can carry chakra could do that." Shika knew what he was thinking so he answer Danzo's question as he swung his sword, not intenting to hard him but rather outright cut off his right hand where he had all those Sharigan.
Danzo fell for Genjutsu because he reflected his Sharingan on the blade earlier and that what Danzo saw.
Now others might go for kill in this situation, its only natural but not someone who knew what this old bastard was hiding.
"AHhh." A sharp cry echoed in the hall and among the mist blood sprayed, by now the blood flowing have already gave the mist a little hue of red in this colour.
"How fitting..." Shika smirked, though the smile wasn't because what he was capable of doing but rather how he failed.
Danzo's severed hand in his hand dissapeared, and so Danzo.
'Cheater... using Izanagi just because he lost his hand. If I didn't knew better than I would have thought that this bastard here have thousand or so Sharingan lying somewhere around to now even give a damn about using Izanagi.' Shika snorted and the next second Danzo materialised again with his right hand intact and his right eyes was now completely white.
'To say that he will give up on a Mangekyo just to have this arm back. He really is insecure huh...., though maybe I would be too if I have bunch of free lives saving cheats in this hand. Who woundn't choose over this than a completely useless super manipulative weapon who he can't use for another 10 years...?'
"Wind Style..." Danzo immediately after coming back to live use this wind style to his best capacity to blow away all the mist around him.
