Sensing Minato Namikaze's unwavering determination, Shikaku Nara nodded in agreement.
"Understood. I'll do my best to keep everyone calm, but this means we won't be able to advance the battle any further."
"With you and Shisui not participating, we must ensure the safety of our Konoha shinobi."
Minato and Shisui were staying behind.
Jiraiya needed to be on guard in case Kumogakure launched a counterattack.
This meant that only Orochimaru and Fugaku Uchiha could lead the pursuit.
And their opponent?
The furious Tsuchikage, Onoki.
If they fought within the Land of Fire, it wouldn't be a problem.
But if they crossed the border, they risked triggering a violent counteroffensive from Iwagakure.
As Konoha's top strategist, Shikaku knew that the most important objective wasn't pressing the attack—it was preserving their remaining forces.
Even though Danzo's leadership had brought multiple victories, Konoha had also suffered heavy losses.
Given the current situation, the best course of action was to wait for Danzo to recover before making any further decisions.
---
That night, after over half a day, the intense surgery finally ended.
For Tsunade, Konoha's most powerful medical ninja, such a prolonged operation was highly unusual.
This alone was enough to prove how severe Danzo's injuries truly were.
Even Hiashi Hyuga and Inoichi Yamanaka, who had assisted in the procedure, had to consume large amounts of soldier pills just to keep going.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have lasted.
Despite this, as soon as the surgery concluded, they both collapsed from exhaustion.
But at this moment, no one was paying attention to them.
The only thing on Shisui, Minato, and Shikaku's minds was Danzo's condition.
"Lady Tsunade! How is my master?"
Shisui asked urgently.
Tsunade's face was filled with deep fatigue.
It had been a long time since she had worked this intensively.
She responded:
"The injuries are no longer a problem. But full recovery will take a long time."
"Also… Danzo is still unconscious."
Her expression turned into a mix of seriousness and confusion.
This immediately alarmed Shisui.
"Lady Tsunade, didn't you say he was fine? Why is he still unconscious?!"
Tsunade rubbed her chin, speculating:
"It might be due to extreme exhaustion. His brain finally has a chance to rest, so this could be his body's natural defense mechanism."
Hearing this, Shisui was overwhelmed with guilt.
If only he were stronger…
Could he have shouldered more of the burden for his master?
Could he have spared Danzo from such exhaustion?
Shikaku, too, found Tsunade's explanation reasonable.
Throughout the entire war, Danzo had barely rested at all.
He had continuously used large-scale surveillance jutsu to oversee the battlefield.
He had fought alone against two Kage-level opponents, gravely wounding one and forcing the other to flee.
Even a machine couldn't endure such strain!
In that sense, Danzo's unconsciousness seemed almost inevitable.
However, Danzo remained in a coma for three full days.
As the pillar of Konoha's forces, his absence at such a crucial moment had a huge impact on morale.
Rumors spread like wildfire.
Shikaku was forced to halt the pursuit of Iwagakure's forces to prevent panic.
And then…
Fugaku Uchiha arrived at the camp with a large group of Uchiha shinobi.
And he had one request:
"I want to see Danzo with my own eyes."
He wasn't joking.
Right now, Fugaku saw Danzo as the Uchiha clan's only hope for maintaining a stable relationship with the village.
If Danzo suddenly announced that he wanted to seize the Hokage's position for himself, Fugaku would immediately lead the Uchiha to follow him—without question.
After all…
Shisui was Danzo's disciple.
If Danzo became Hokage, then once he retired, Shisui would at least hold a high-ranking position in Konoha's leadership.
In fact, given Shisui's abilities, he could even contend for the Hokage seat himself.
For that future, the Uchiha were willing to sacrifice everything.
But unfortunately for Fugaku…
His request was denied.
And the one standing in his way?
None other than his own clansman—Uchiha Shisui.
"Apologies, Clan Leader Fugaku, but my teacher, is not in a condition to see anyone right now."
Fugaku Uchiha narrowed his eyes as he looked at the young Uchiha in front of him.
"Shisui, I only wish to take a look at Lord Danzo. I must confirm that nothing has happened to him!"
Even though the man in front of him was his clan leader, Shisui remained unmoved.
Seeing how stubborn his junior was, Fugaku had no good way to force the issue.
As for using his status as the Uchiha leader to pressure Shisui?
Fugaku wasn't that foolish.
Right now, Shisui was Danzo's direct disciple—not just any disciple, but his first and most trusted student.
He was no longer just another young Uchiha that Fugaku could control.
Forcing Shisui would not only fail to work, but it might also earn him Danzo's resentment in the future—not worth the risk.
So, he could only stand guard as well, maintaining his dignity as clan leader while watching over Danzo just like Shisui was.

Orochimaru arrived in the dead of night.
By now, more and more shinobi had gathered at the camp, making the atmosphere increasingly tense.
Even Minato and Fugaku had to step away to maintain order.
Minato represented the commoner shinobi.
Fugaku led the Uchiha, the largest ninja clan in Konoha.
Thus, when Orochimaru approached the room in the form of a white snake, the only one standing guard was Uchiha Shisui.
Under the moonlight, Shisui's eyes suddenly snapped open—a glimmer of scarlet flickering within them.
He had sensed the intruder.
Realizing that he had been detected, Orochimaru commanded the white snake to open its mouth.
The next moment, a figure covered in mucus emerged—Orochimaru himself.
Shisui's expression immediately turned vigilant.
Appearing in such a secretive manner was highly suspicious.
However, because Orochimaru was one of the legendary Sannin and a senior of Konoha, Shisui restrained himself from attacking right away.
Instead, he asked coldly:
"Lord Orochimaru, what brings you here at this late hour?"
Seeing that Shisui was alone, Orochimaru licked his lips.
His gaze flickered past Shisui, focusing on the room behind him.
"Why, to check on Lord Danzo, of course. After all, he was once… half my superior, wasn't he?"
Orochimaru smiled—but there was no warmth in his expression.
Only an eerie, chilling sense of malice.
Years ago, in order to keep an eye on Danzo, the Third Hokage had assigned Orochimaru to work within the Root division.
So technically, Danzo had indeed been his superior at one point.
But Shisui didn't care about any of that.
"I'm sorry, but without my teacher's permission, no one is allowed to enter this room."
His voice remained ice-cold, and his hand subtly moved to his sword hilt—a clear sign that he was ready to attack at any moment.
Orochimaru let out a soft, sinister laugh.
"Without Danzo's permission?"
"But what if he never gives it?"
"Relax, Shisui. I only want to confirm his condition."
As he spoke, Orochimaru ignored Shisui completely and walked toward the room.
Shisui narrowed his eyes.
In an instant, his Sharingan evolved—from the three-tomoe form into the Mangekyō Sharingan.
He didn't hesitate.
He unleashed his strongest attack—
"Amaterasu!"
Shisui held nothing back against the legendary Sannin.
A sea of black flames erupted, igniting Orochimaru's entire body!
The deadly fire consumed him instantly, bringing searing agony that reached deep into his soul!
His body convulsed violently, but he made no sound—only silent, twisted agony.
Then suddenly—
Orochimaru's jaw unhinged, stretching unnaturally to a full 180 degrees.
A moment later, countless white snakes slithered out of his mouth, scattering in all directions, trying to breach the room.
Shisui's eyes widened in shock.
He had never expected such a bizarre technique.
Even though he immediately spread Amaterasu's flames to burn the white snakes, Orochimaru's movements were just a bit faster.
His real body emerged from one of the snakes, darting past Shisui.
Then, with a single powerful palm strike, he smashed open the door to the room.
As the door burst open, Orochimaru finally laid eyes on the figure inside.
Danzo… sitting upright.
And the moment Danzo's eyes opened—
A colossal blue warrior materialized behind him.
A massive fist came crashing down—
Straight toward Orochimaru!

(OOT: There's a funny drama happening in my country right now.
It was about a female artist who sell her cosplay outfit and underwear to her simps. (It was priced around $3-$7 for outfit, and $15 for an underwear)
Some of the simps doing review that the underwear smell like a sweat and there was a yellow stain. So they were satisfied of the 'authentic' products.
The other fans hoping for a new products because they were jealous.
Fast forward to 3 years later,
There was a Facebook account that became suspicious of this girl, because she never showed her face at all. All this time, she always wore a mask and blurred out her eyes.
Eventually, this Facebook account started analyzing the girl's body anatomy — from her shoulders, chest, thighs, and so on.
They also dug into her past through her previous posts.
And finally, the funniest thing was revealed.
She is a HE. A femboy. Lmao.
And then, all hell broke loose. This is really the funniest sh*t in a while XD.
My fellow countrymen, you're allowed to elaborate more. )
