    Arc VII Chapter 2

    ━━━━━━┛???┗━━━━━━

    Satoshi scanned his surroundings, noticing the amount of corpses before clearing his throat. This was going to be difficult ... “It saddens me, but I was ordered to detain you. You are officially under arrest now, Captain.”

    Asami blinked before answering with a smile. Her lips were strained, spending no effort in hiding her displeasure. “What did you say, Satoshi? Because I think I might have misheard.”

    “...” He sweated. Asami didn’t attack, but this was a delicate affair. His acting skills were asked from here on.

    Satoshi played dumb and scratched his head. “Well, you see, I was ordered ... to detain you, and here I am. I hope you will cooperate with us. We are civilised people, so no need to resort to violence. We can solve this entire affair peacefully.”

    Asami narrowed her eyes. “Satoshi, who ordered my apprehension? And what am I guilty of?”

    Satoshi gulped. “The Hokage.”

    “The Hokage?”

    He nodded. “The Hokage.”

    Asami glared. “Satoshi, I warn you, even my divine patience is limited. I don’t like this type of joke. Stop this nonsense. Get out of my sight. Immediately.”

    “You have your orders. So don''t waste my precious time with such trivialities.” Asami gripped her sword and left. The enemy was still operating in the area, and they were waiting for her to pay them a friendly visit.

    Satoshi fell back and panicked. Forget the plan. “Kill her! Kill her immediately!!! What are you waiting for?! Kill her !!!”

    The first wave obeyed his order and attacked. They charged and met her barrier. Her shield didn’t budge and withstood the assault.

    The second wave followed. The ANBU once again failed to pierce her barrier.

    The third wave charged and they succeeded. Their swords didn’t snap, didn’t bend. Their blades struck her chakra and her purple shield yielded.

    Her barrier shield fractured and shattered like brittle glass. They got her. How wrong they were. They didn’t taste the sweet nectar of victory, but despair.

    “...” Satoshi fell silent, and so did the rest of his men. Emptiness, shock, disbelief filled their hearts. He stared at the macabre scene, his fists clenched, unable to avert his eyes. He recognised this aura. He recognised this power. He had seen it before. He hadn’t forgotten Shisui even after all these years. Danzo sacrificed all of them from the beginning. They were nothing but disposable pawns to him.

    “Hahahaha!” Satoshi descended into a maniac laughter. Asami was an ... Uchiha. The girl was an Uchiha that slipped under Konoha''s radar, but the senile arsehole knew.

    The corpses of his men hang, floating in the air like lifeless puppets. Dripping blood stained her kimono red. A humanoid skeleton stood before them and a girl bathed in blood.

    His men died instantly. Her purple rib cage murdered them. Her ribs speared them like pearl string.

    A fine purple mist saturated the area. Her chakra created a radiant aerosol and permeated the air. A beautiful scene, a kaleidoscope of purple and light.

    “...” Satoshi paled. He had witnessed this jutsu before.

    Asami beamed, joy and evil glee filling her purple eyes, her luminescent sharingan. Her heart was elated, ecstatic, euphoric. “Satoshi, you don’t know how long I have been waiting for this moment. The day has finally come to eradicate all of you.”

    Asami snapped her fingers and produced a spark, a spark that sealed their fate. Her spark ignited the very air. The oxygen burned. Her gigantic flare enlightened Konoha’s sky.
