Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 498 Shimura Danzo: This is Shisui's Kotoamatsukami; it will make you obey...

That old guy, Danzo Shimura…

What's he trying to do by suddenly appearing at this moment? Is he trying to sow discord between me and Itachi Uchiha? Does he think he can pull off such a petty trick in front of me?

Old man...

Do you want to take this opportunity to control yourself?

Uchiha Sasuke raised an eyebrow and glanced at Shimura Danzo. He immediately understood Shimura Danzo's thoughts: Did he want to lure him, who hated Uchiha Itachi, into working for him?

Trivial skills…

How dare they try to show off their limited skills in front of the future leader of the Root?

"Of course I want to get revenge on Itachi!"

Sasuke Uchiha smirked, as if mocking Danzo Shimura, and his hand instinctively reached for the ninja sword on his back: "Hey, old man, if you came here to provoke me, then congratulations on your success..."

"I'm not here to provoke you..."

Shimura Danzo didn't seem to care about Uchiha Sasuke's rudeness. He pursed his lips and slowly said, "I'm here to help you..."

"How can you help me?"

Sasuke Uchiha's smirk deepened as he sized up Danzo Shimura: "I think I saw you a few days ago. You seem to be one of the Hokage's trusted subordinates. Can you persuade the Hokage to order the village's ninjas to help me hunt down that Itachi guy?"

"I...cannot."

Danzo Shimura's eyes suddenly opened.

The old man suddenly gripped his cane tightly!

This kind of thing...

I really can't do it!

Because Hiruzen Sarutobi would never allow anyone to hunt down Itachi Uchiha!

and…

This brat is really looking down on people!

I am not a subordinate of the monkey. I am someone who once competed with the monkey for the Hokage position, and I may even become the new Hokage in the future!

"Can't you even do this simple thing?"

"Looks like you're no longer of any use..."

Sasuke Uchiha waved his hand dismissively, seemingly wanting to turn and leave immediately: "Unfortunately, only the Hokage can help me in this village..."

What level of player...

They actually want to instigate me and Itachi Uchiha?

I was once a follower of Akihara Kagura!

Sasuke Uchiha casually put his hands in his pockets and was about to leave when he glanced at Danzo Shimura out of the corner of his eye. He knew a thing or two about the old man…

after all…

Danzo Shimura was the first leader of Root, though he lived a rather undignified life. Root kept detailed records of the foolish things Danzo did in his pursuit of the Hokage. Whenever the Hokage was mentioned, the old man would lose his temper…

"Uchiha Sasuke..."

Danzo Shimura's face was somewhat sinister, and his voice was low and suppressed: "The people in Konoha who can help you may not necessarily be the Hokage of the village..."

"What the Hokage can do, can you really do too?"

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Danzo Shimura and said casually, "But it seems you're just one of the Hokage's subordinates..."

"!!!"

Danzo Shimura's ambition was clearly stung by Sasuke Uchiha's seemingly unintentional words, and anger spread through his chest!

That brat!

How dare you look down on yourself like that!

Naruto!

It's because of Naruto again!

Because he's not Hokage, even the kids in the village dare to look down on him!

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke walked away step by step, seemingly ignoring Shimura Danzo's rising anger behind him, and leisurely waited for Shimura Danzo to offer his terms again.

after all…

I can't just go to Shimura Danzo for no reason, can I?

Now that he's so loyal to the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, and seems to desperately need the Third Hokage's help, plus his own power, doesn't Danzo Shimura worry that this will ruin your plans with Orochimaru?

Old man...

Let's set out some important conditions!

If you offer me conditions that are attractive enough, I will immediately become loyal to you like Akihara Kagura, and even take care of you, the first head of Root, until your death!

"etc…"

Just as Sasuke Uchiha had anticipated, Danzo Shimura could not ignore Sasuke's power. The old man gripped his cane tightly and approached Sasuke step by step.

"Some things..."

Shimura Danzo reached up and removed the bandage from his head, slowly saying, "If a monkey can do it, so can I, and I can even do it better..."

"Um?"

"What?"

Sasuke Uchiha stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Danzo Shimura, seemingly surprised by the conditions the other party wanted to propose.

"for example…"

"The monkey can make you obey his commands..."

The old man simply unwrapped the bandages from his head, revealing a scarlet eye, and a smug smirk flashed across his face: "I can make you obedient, even more willing to listen to me..."

"That is..."

Sasuke Uchiha's expression suddenly changed.

That old guy…

So he really does possess that Sharingan in this world...

In the real world, Sasuke Uchiha recalled his conversation with Shisui, during which he mentioned that Danzo Shimura had stolen one of Shisui's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan eyes, but Kagura Akihara casually told them that the Kotoamatsukami eye had already been destroyed...

This world…

No Akihara Kagura...

That eye was naturally not destroyed...

This old guy is so incompetent! Instead of offering some important conditions, he tries to use Kotoamatsukami's Mangekyou Sharingan to force me to submit!

They're actually thinking of doing business with no capital!

"Are you curious...?"

Danzo Shimura fixed his gaze on Sasuke Uchiha and said softly, "Why would I reveal that I possess a Sharingan in front of you?"

"even…"

"This Sharingan is of a high level..."

"Just like your eyes, they are Mangekyou Sharingan..."

"kaleidoscope?"

Sasuke Uchiha reached for the ninja sword on his back, staring warily at Danzo Shimura's eye, and asked knowingly, "Whose eye is that? Do you think a Mangekyou Sharingan will make me obey your orders?"

"idiot!"

"The eye techniques of the Mangekyou Sharingan are different!"

"My Mangekyou Sharingan is a kind of eye technique you can't even imagine!"

"The Mangekyou Sharingan is the strongest eye among the Uchiha clan. You old bastard, do you think you can make me submit just because you've obtained one eye?"

As Sasuke Uchiha spoke, he chuckled coldly, seemingly mocking Danzo Shimura's naiveté: "Or are you trying to convince me by claiming that the owner of that Mangekyou Sharingan is different?"

"snort…"

Danzo Shimura sneered and slowly said, "If you knew who this eye belonged to, and what kind of eye technique was hidden within it, I believe you wouldn't have asked such a foolish question..."

"This is…"

"Uchiha Shisui's eyes..."

"That was a genius as outstanding as you..."

While praising Uchiha Shisui, Shimura Danzo introduced the eye technique within his own eye: "The eye technique contained within this eye is called Kotoamatsukami..."

"!!!"

A look of horror flashed in Sasuke's eyes, as if he had recalled something terrifying. He tried his best to imitate Akihara Kagura, making his acting skills reach the best level of his life at this moment: "Shisui-san's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan, a dojutsu that can change a person's will silently, how did that eye end up in your hands..."

"You killed him!"

As if realizing a truth, Sasuke Uchiha's eyes widened, turning a blood-red hue in an instant: "Back then... you killed him!"

real…

This is so difficult!

Uchiha Sasuke realized Akihara Kagura's predicament once again!

How does that guy manage to put on a show in front of everyone in the ninja world, pretending that he knows the whole truth but can't speak up? It's so hard!

At least…

Sasuke Uchiha could only rely on his inner anger to prevent himself from accidentally revealing any secrets in front of Danzo Shimura...

fortunately…

Shimura Danzo will die this year, so I won't need to pretend for so long in front of him like Akihara Kagura did...

"You can think of it that way."

Danzo Shimura recalled the ease and pleasure he felt when he stole Shisui Uchiha's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan, and slowly began to speak: "Shisui Uchiha was a genius, but also too naive. He thought that obedience would change everything, but he forgot one thing..."

At this point, Shimura Danzo made no attempt to hide his true feelings and stated his attitude towards the Uchiha: "A group of Uchiha who can become powerful by relying on emotions will also engage in extreme behaviors due to your emotional fluctuations. The Uchiha will always be the most unstable factor in Konoha. I do not believe that the Uchiha will always obey the higher-ups..."

"but…"

"You can rest assured, you little rascal."

"I will not kill you, because I need a sharp knife."

Danzo Shimura stretched out his hands, stating his plans for Sasuke Uchiha: "Once I use the Kotoamatsukami eye technique on you, you will be the sharpest blade in my hand, and also the sharpest blade in Konoha..."

after all…

Kotoamatsukami's eye technique is too powerful!

"bring it on…"

"Submit to me..."

Even Shimura Danzo couldn't help but feel a surge of confidence. He had already figured out how he would use Uchiha Sasuke in the future!

"Only your roots are the best place for you!"

"..."

Uchiha Sasuke gritted his teeth as he stared at Shimura Danzo, his heart trembling violently. The crucial moment of the performance had arrived, and Uchiha Sasuke wasn't quite sure when he would fall under Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu!

The key is...

I possess the Rinne Sharingan!

Immune to all illusions in the world!

Sasuke Uchiha had witnessed the power of Kotoamatsukami before. He knew that Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu was extremely silent and could even instantly switch a person's will...

but…

When exactly will Shimura Danzo use his eye technique? When should I pretend to be under the influence of Kotoamatsukami's genjutsu and show my utmost loyalty to Shimura Danzo?

This is not easy...

This old guy is still spouting threats, and the Sharingan in his pupil still has three tomoe, so theoretically he shouldn't have used Kotoamatsukami yet...

but…

Even Sasuke Uchiha wasn't sure...

Do not…

There's a way!

Sasuke Uchiha immediately came up with a solution!

Although he didn't know when Shimura Danzo would use Kotoamatsukami on him, he was certain that Shimura Danzo would activate the illusion technique of Kotoamatsukami in the most dangerous moment!

At that time...

It's when you pretend to be submissive...

Furthermore, the cooldown time of the Kotoamatsukami Mangekyou Sharingan is as long as more than ten years. Shimura Danzo probably never used Kotoamatsukami on anyone else, and that old guy probably didn't know what it was like to be hit by Kotoamatsukami...

Even if it's a little late in pretending to submit to Shimura Danzo after he uses Kotoamatsukami, it doesn't matter. I can just treat it as a buffer time. Anyway, I can use the powerful ocular power of my Mangekyou Sharingan to resist as an excuse...

and…

If I were so easily subdued by Shimura Danzo using Kotoamatsukami, the old man might become suspicious; if I let Shimura Danzo experience a fierce battle before controlling me with Kotoamatsukami, he would be more at ease…

next moment!

Uchiha Sasuke suddenly charged towards Shimura Danzo, his ninja sword instantly drawn. He raised his hand and chopped at Danzo's head, shouting impatiently, "Old man, you think one eye can make me submit?!"

"So fast..."

A look of surprise flashed across Shimura Danzo's face.

Although he had long heard of Sasuke Uchiha's genius, Danzo Shimura never expected that Sasuke's Body Flicker Technique and swordsmanship would be so formidable!

Clang!

Danzo Shimura drew a ninja sword from his cane and instantly blocked Sasuke Uchiha's path!

"As long as I don't look at you..."

Sasuke Uchiha closed his eyes, his movements as swift as lightning, his ninja sword flashing as he unleashed several attacks: "I shouldn't be hit by the genjutsu..."

Ding ding ding…

Danzo Shimura raised his hand to block!

Even with the Sharingan's enhancement, Shimura Danzo's movements seemed a bit slow to keep up; this kid's swordsmanship talent was just too strong!

"..."

Danzo Shimura had no choice but to leap backward, his brows furrowing involuntarily.

like…

This is getting a bit troublesome...

Just as Sasuke Uchiha had anticipated, Danzo Shimura realized something was amiss. Perhaps to make the brat realize he wasn't entirely useless, he arrogantly unleashed the power of Kotoamatsukami...

result…

This put the little devil on his guard.

But...

None of this matters...

Because everything is under my control.

Danzo Shimura gently touched his right arm with his fingers, slowly unlocking the sealed vessel on his right hand, revealing a white arm.

On that white arm…

But it was adorned with a dozen or so scarlet eyes.

"..."

Sasuke Uchiha sensed the chakra immediately. He slowly opened his eyes and saw Danzo Shimura's exposed white arm, as well as the Sharingan eyes that seemed to be carved into it.

"That's... the Sharingan!"

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes suddenly felt warm. He felt his anger surge up in an instant. That guy Danzo Shimura actually collected so many Sharingan eyes, and even turned them into decorations!

Those Sharingan...

They are all eyes of the Uchiha clan!

Just how many Uchiha clans perished at the hands of Danzo, the mastermind behind this world!

Do not…

wrong…

It's not decoration...

That arm exuded the aura of first-generation cells…

Suddenly, Sasuke Uchiha understood why Danzo Shimura had a strange arm; in an instant, he saw everything clearly…

That old guy…

They wanted to use the Sharingan chakra of the Uchiha clan to resist the erosion of the First Hokage's cells!

Because only Uchiha chakra can resist the corruption of the First Hokage's cells, and thus be able to master the power of Wood Release, this is one of the reasons why all the surviving Uchiha in the real world are dual-bloodline limit ninjas...

wrong!

What else is wrong?

Sasuke Uchiha was very clear about the power of Wood Release ninjas.

Because Wood Release is only truly powerful in the hands of Akihara Kagura and the First Hokage, Senju Hashirama, and is not powerful in the hands of others, it is simply no match for a Mangekyou Sharingan user. If Shimura Danzo wanted to deal with him, he couldn't rely on that meager Wood Release power, unless that old guy foolishly believed that Wood Release was the nemesis of the Uchiha clan...

"should…"

"There's another secret..."

Sasuke Uchiha tapped his sword hilt lightly with his finger, pondering what other trump cards Danzo Shimura might have up his sleeve. This old guy used Izanagi when he dealt with Shisui. Could he be planning to use the Sharingan eyes of his clansmen embedded in his arm to use Izanagi against me? Could those Sharingan eyes be used as sacrifices for Izanagi?

"I didn't want to expose them..."

Danzo Shimura raised his arm, surveying the Sharingan eyes on it with satisfaction. He glanced slightly upwards at Sasuke Uchiha: "However, to obtain such a sharp weapon, using it is certainly worthwhile..."

As long as I can completely subdue Sasuke Uchiha using the genjutsu of Kotoamatsukami, these secrets exposed at this moment are completely irrelevant!

and…

If I could get Uchiha Sasuke…

You can get more Mangekyou Sharingan by yourself!

Danzo Shimura didn't know what kind of eye technique was hidden in Sasuke Uchiha's Mangekyou Sharingan, but he knew that a pair of Mangekyou Sharingan was more valuable than one!

Everything seemed to be predestined…

He first recruited Sasuke Uchiha, then had Orochimaru kill Hiruzen Sarutobi in the third round of the Chunin Exams, and used Sasuke's power to become Hokage...

At that time...

Then have Sasuke Uchiha kill Itachi Uchiha…

In that case...

He now possessed four Mangekyou Sharingan eyes that could be transplanted at any time!

As Shimura Danzo thought of this, his heart even began to burn with excitement, and his fingers swiftly completed the hand seals for activating Izanagi…

"That handprint..."

"It really is Izanagi!"

Sasuke Uchiha recognized Danzo Shimura's handprint at a glance because he had learned about Izanagi and Izanami from Madara Uchiha in the real world.

Uchiha Sasuke instantly figured out Shimura Danzo's tactics: the old man wanted to use Izanagi to find an opportunity to use Kotoamatsukami!

"just…"

"As you wish..."

Sasuke Uchiha stared at Danzo Shimura's white arm, making no attempt to conceal his killing intent. In his mind, he was already meticulously planning his revenge: "Once I become the leader of Root, and you've transplanted so many Sharingan eyes, I can kill you a dozen times over in the future..."

"No…"

"Killing you ten times would be too easy for you..."

"I'm going to make you lose everything you've gained..."

Uchiha Sasuke recalled Akihara Kagura's methods and imagined how he would torture Shimura Danzo in the future: "I want to be like that Akihara Kagura guy, making you experience the despair of being treated like a plaything when you think you have everything under control!"
