Sparkle 5: Join Me
Danzo was facedown in his own blood, with Kushina-san at his side, looking triumphant in spite of the splatter.
Kakashi could only find himself staring down the dying man passively, the bare wisps of disgust rolling in his gut. This was all it took to take down the Shadow of the Hokage? This was it?
"Y-You could've had everything, Kakashi."
It shouldn't have been surprising that the man was still trying to manipulate — to brainwash through words, even now.
"I-If you joined me as you said, the Leaf would be in a much higher place. We could have had everything… we could have protected the children of the village's future." There was a sickly cough as the blood continued to pool under Danzo's hands. "You could have protected the village more than your father ever did."
Kakashi bit the inside of his cheek, shaking his head as soon as Kushina-san was already raising a chakra chain from the anger.
"You wouldn't have protected the civilians, Danzo-sama," he bit out as calmly as he could, even with the killer intent rolling through his veins. "You would have considered them as expendable as the Root you were raising. As expendable as Jiraiya-sama's own students, who have done far more than you ever did."
Danzo raised a shaky hand towards him, and even without meeting his eye, Kakashi knew the man was glaring at him.
"You tried to manipulate my family. You tried to kill the girl I love." The familiar buzz of Raikiri was already coming to his hand as Kakashi remembered her warm smile.
Soon, Tomoko, he thought. It'll be over soon.
"As far as I know, you've betrayed the Leaf far more than Dad and I ever did. And Sensei never did like traitors."
Kushina-san brought down the chakra chain as soon as Kakashi lunged.
Danzo never breathed a single word again.
