Naruto: I, who fooled the ninja world, was hailed as a savior.

Chapter 374 The Distorted Shimura Danzo

Danzo Shimura lay flat on the cold operating table, his whole body restrained by restraint devices, under general anesthesia, unable to move, but his consciousness was unusually clear.

His left eyelid was forcibly pried open and fixed with instruments, and his own eyeball was removed, revealing a hollow, bloody, hideous eye socket.

And right above that empty eye socket, a sophisticated mechanical arm is moving slowly and steadily, holding a white eye, toward the empty eye socket.

At the same time, his right arm, forged from Hashirama cells, was firmly fixed to a special base, and the last sealing shackle on the arm was about to be unlocked.

Another, thicker pipe connects to the container next to it that seals "Void," and dense, ink-like spiritual energy is being continuously injected into the arm.

"report!"

Outside the window, a researcher stared intently at the screen, his voice hoarse with tension: "'The energy injection rate of the 'Void' has reached 92%!"

"The final seal release procedure is starting simultaneously, energy counterattack begins, five seconds countdown!" another person shouted, his fingers flying across the control panel.

'Mink' stood in front of the main control panel, staring intently at the data and images on several screens.

"Attention, all units." Her tone was calm and unwavering. "Ensure that the nerve connection time for the White Eye transplant is synchronized with the seal release and energy injection."

"Yes!"

"The white eye transplant is progressing normally; we're still 3 millimeters away from nerve connection!"

"Countdown to seal release! 3...2..."

"Peak of spiritual energy infusion reached!"

The only sounds in the laboratory were the hum of the instruments and the researchers' hurried reports.

Inside the laboratory, Danzo could not hear any sounds from the outside world. Although his body was unable to move, his consciousness was immersed in near-manic excitement and fantasy.

coming! finally come!
The power of the Byakugan! The power of Hollows! The power of Wood Release! The power of the Sharingan!
Let that senile old man Hiruzen Sarutobi see me ascend to the Hokage position with my powerful presence!
I will make the entire ninja world submit to my absolute power!

Make Hinata Kumokawa tremble before me!

In his fantasy, he was already wearing the God's Robe, standing on the Shadow Rock, with the entire Konoha and even the ninja world at his feet.

Hyuga Kumokawa knelt on the ground, Sarutobi Hiruzen looked regretful, and everyone trembled before his absolute power.

"The seal is lifted!"

"Neural reconnection initiated!"

"Increase the infusion of spiritual energy!"

The three key steps, under the control of precision instruments, simultaneously reached the critical point.

Click!

The last shackle on Danzo's right arm fell off with a thud, and almost simultaneously, the vast and filthy spiritual energy of the imprisoned 'Hollow' surged into his arm!
And that white eye fell into his empty left eye socket, stimulating countless tiny nerve tendrils, which began to connect with his optic nerve!

The life support system emitted a high-powered hum, desperately trying to counteract the energy surge powerful enough to tear a normal person apart.

On the image in front of the 'sable', four completely different energies within Danzo's body engaged in a brutal battle and devouring!
The green color representing Hashirama cells erupted like a wild horse the moment the seal was broken.

Starting from his right arm, it frantically eroded and assimilated Danzo's original body, rapidly spreading to his entire right chest, leaving the flesh and blood with a pale, woody texture wherever it went!

But the next second, the pitch-black color representing 'Hollow' arrived first and began to suppress the rampaging Hashirama cells.

At the same time, sensing the Byakugan's intrusion, Danzo's right Sharingan automatically activated, and the two forces briefly clashed.

However, seemingly sensing the threat posed by the Hashirama cells, it actually began to cooperate with 'Hollow's' spiritual energy to suppress the erosion of the Hashirama cells!

Four distinct and conflicting forces are intertwining, tearing, and merging within Danzo's body!
"It's a success! It's going to be a success!" Even with 'Miao's' composure, she could barely contain her excitement at this moment, her eyes gleaming with ecstasy!

However, in the quiet tea room of the Hyuga clan patriarch's residence, Hyuga Kumokawa, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

His eyes pierced through the ground and the barrier, seeing everything that was happening underground!
"Finally, this moment has come." A smile appeared on his lips as he slowly raised his right hand, palm facing the distance, and slowly clenched it, as if holding something in the air.

Almost at the same moment, inside the underground laboratory.

"Warning! Energy level has gone out of control and gone berserk!"

"Vital signs data have spiked abnormally! Exceeding the testing limit!"

"What happened? Wasn't it stable just now?!"

The piercing alarm shattered the brief moment of joy, and the data on all the instrument screens began to jump wildly.

The researchers' smiles froze instantly, turning into expressions of horror.

"Don't mess up!"

For the first time, 'Mink's' tone carried anger and a hint of barely perceptible panic as he roared, "Activate the emergency sealing procedure! Immediately cut off 'Void's' energy infusion! Now!"

"No...no! It can't stop!" the operator screamed in terror. "The energy output is too strong! That 'Hollow' isn't an ordinary 'Hollow,' it's..."

hum!
A terrifying energy surge, far exceeding anything seen before, suddenly erupted from Danzo's center!

The precision instruments around the operating table emitted blinding sparks one after another, the entire underground laboratory shook violently, and rock fragments fell from the ceiling.

As Danzo lay on the operating table, his body began to undergo horrific deformities.

His entire body twisted and swelled starting from his right arm, the paleness of his left eye and the scarlet of his right eye swayed, and it seemed as if countless living things were wriggling under his skin!

"Ughhhhhh!" Danzo, who should have been under anesthesia, let out a heart-wrenching, inhuman scream.

At that moment, through the violently fluctuating energy monitoring data and images, "Mink's" heart suddenly turned cold, and a terrible truth surfaced in her mind.

The 'Void' we captured was no ordinary individual at all!
Instead, it was a massive void!
They were completely unaware of this?!

boom! !

The 'mink's' pupils gradually contracted, reflecting the apocalyptic scene before it.

All the sophisticated instruments and equipment in the laboratory exploded one after another under the impact of overloaded energy, bursting out with dazzling sparks.

Countless thick, twisted black trees, like living monsters, surged, grew, and spread wildly from the center of the explosion!
In an instant, the firelight illuminated the several terrified and helpless faces, which were then completely swallowed up by the surging black trees, without even a sound!

This devastating explosion and the eerie black trees not only obliterated everything deep underground, but also brutally pierced through layers of reinforced domes and rock, tearing the earth apart!

Crack! Bang!
On the ground, the solid surface was instantly covered with huge, spiderweb-like cracks.

Immediately afterwards, large swathes of twisted and bizarre black trees, like ghostly hands reaching out from the depths of hell, burst forth from the earth and grew and spread wildly outwards!
The entire village of Konoha trembled, and all the villagers and ninjas who were still awake felt the tremor.

This naturally includes those who are waiting for news outside Konoha, such as Kyoto, Yugito Nii, and Kisame Hoshigaki.

"What happened?" They stood up abruptly, their bodies tensing, and looked in the direction from which the explosion came.

　I gave up.

　　I had already adjusted my biological clock, going to bed at midnight and waking up at 7:30 in the morning, taking a nap at 2 pm. I was planning to wake up at 4 pm, eat, and then update, but I ended up sleeping until 2 am. I'm speechless.
