Chapter 46

Izanagi, the Bold Madman Who Tried Again

A completely unharmed, brand-new Danzo appeared so strangely and so brazenly, sitting on the blood-stained, dark red stone chair with an extremely gloomy expression.

The two Root members at the door froze instantly. If it weren't for the terrifying bloodstains in the office, they would have thought that what they had just seen was an illusion.

Danzo Shimura seemed to notice the commotion at the door. He raised his gloomy single eye, and the two Root members trembled instantly, immediately kneeling down to pay their respects.

"Lord Danzo...!"

Both of them swallowed hard, looking nervous.

Danzo ignored him, simply turning his gaze away expressionlessly and coldly saying:

"Go out and have the sensory ninjas remaining inside Root immediately extend their sensory range outwards from my office, leaving no gaps unchecked, and ensuring that their sensory range does not extend into the interior of my office. Furthermore, for the next half hour, no one is allowed to approach this place without authorization."

"Yes...yes!"

The two nodded and quickly left.

As the footsteps faded into the distance, Danzo's face turned incredibly grim once more. He gripped his cane so tightly that it cracked and splintered at the slightest pressure.

"Damn it! If I hadn't used the transcription seal to engrave Izanagi into this eye beforehand, I would have really died at the hands of that Uchiha brat!"

As Danzo spoke, his hand involuntarily touched the bandage covering his left eye.

Danzo obtained this eye and those two secret techniques on the same day. Recalling that man's face, Danzo couldn't help but feel a little guilty.

However, this guilt was quickly replaced by ruthlessness.

"Uchiha Mo... this guy is too dangerous! He managed to infiltrate Root without anyone noticing, and even held a knife to my throat without revealing anything unusual!"

As he spoke, Danzo's expression grew even more somber, and the cane in his hand cracked with a snap.

He sat motionless in the chair, his single eye narrowed menacingly, seemingly lost in thought.

After a long while, Danzo closed his eyes and slowly got up. He lifted his foot and pushed the stone chair away, revealing the floor underneath.

  

"Well, that brat has already shown some promise. We need to plan this carefully. Right now, the most urgent task is to restore my fighting strength. However, with Orochimaru's help, this should be much simpler and smoother."

As he spoke, he used his cane to poke into a spot that had been exposed after the stone chair was pushed aside.

"Click—!"

The tip of the cane sank into the floor, and when Danzo raised the cane again, a sound like gears turning rang out, and then the floorboards quickly retracted, revealing a hidden compartment. Danzo bent down and reached his hand into the compartment.

When the hand retracted, it now held an exquisite glass bottle. Inside the bottle, a three-tomoe Sharingan was immersed in a light green liquid, slowly rotating.

Danzo lifted it up, staring intently at the Sharingan with a slightly deep gaze, and stood motionless in place.

"Mirror, I've repaid you for your life..."

Danzo obtained these two Sharingan eyes in a despicable way, but in a way, it was also legitimate.

Back then, after Hiruzen Sarutobi's position gradually stabilized, it was time for everyone to divide the spoils. However, power was limited, yet the Hokage's Guard consisted of six people.

At this time, Danzo set his sights on Kagami, who was from the Uchiha clan...

During a mission in the aftermath of World War II, Danzo Shimura leaked information about Kagami to the enemy and, just in case, pretended to have received the information and personally led a team to provide assistance.

And the final result was...

Uchiha Kagami died, in front of Danzo, and entrusted his eyes to the teammate he thought he could give everything for, and to the murderer who killed him!

Furthermore, Akimichi Torifu seems to have received some kind of information and quietly withdrew from the core of power.

Danzo didn't know what he was feeling back then, but now, looking at his only remaining right eye, he felt a mix of emotions.

"mirror……"

He looked at the Sharingan and uttered a single word with a slightly heavy tone.

"Hey——!"

"Pfft!"

Danzo's body trembled, and the rest of his words got stuck in his throat. He stared blankly down at the sky.

A hand crackling with lightning emerged from his chest, near his heart, and crackling arcs of electricity exploded in the quiet chamber.

"Go to hell and repent."

A cold whisper rang in Danzo's ear, and then he felt his body being pushed out.

His consciousness began to fade rapidly, and his senses waned quickly. In his final moments, Danzo managed to turn his head with difficulty.

The scene in his field of vision swayed rapidly due to cerebral ischemia, and in his hazy state, he seemed to see the man he would think of every time he dreamed of him at midnight.

Curly short hair, slanted eyes, and that sunny smile unlike any other Uchiha…wait? A sunny smile…no, Mirror's expression wouldn't be this cold…

The illusion dissipated, replaced by Uchiha Mo's completely different, cold face.

"Bang!"

Danzo's body hit the ground with a thud. Mo glanced at it briefly before quickly looking away and catching the glass bottle in mid-air.

Wind Release Proficiency +5.26%

Yin Escape Proficiency +1.54%

"A full 7% Yin Release proficiency, I knew you were abnormal, you rat."

Mo said coldly, not in a hurry to escape, but began to carefully examine the glass bottle in his hand.

Improving proficiency after reaching 20% ​​is extremely difficult. Mo has roughly tested it and found that the difficulty is at least twice that before reaching 20%. However, Danzo's life instantly increased Yin Release proficiency by another 7% even though it had already exceeded 20%.

Danzo was indeed a master, but Mo simply couldn't believe that he could possess such a high level of Yin Release skills.

Given the old dog's behavior in the original work, it's hard for Mo not to worry that he might come back from the dead.

So before leaving, he left behind a lightning clone hidden in the dark room. In any case, the lightning clone could be dispelled at any time, so it cost Mo no money.

So he watched quietly as two Root members arrived at the secret room, and Danzo banished them after his resurrection.

Mo had already considered giving up on assassinating the Shadow Clone Technique several times, since Root had already entered a state of alert, and Danzo had already suffered a loss once.

The best option is undoubtedly to wait for the next opportunity.

However, to everyone's surprise, the two sensory ninjas in front of them were stunned when they saw Danzo's corpse. Before they could even use their sensory abilities to investigate the surrounding space, Danzo suddenly came back to life.

Danzo then ordered that his sensory abilities be spread throughout the entire Root, but he left his office exposed.

This was truly puzzling, but Mo soon found the answer.

Because Danzo retrieved a Sharingan from a mechanism under the stone chair...

It's estimated that no one would have imagined that such a daring and reckless person would not only not run away after successfully assassinating the Konoha advisor elder, but would also stay in the same place.

but……

"To dare to stand there in this situation without checking your surroundings, I have to admire your courage..."
