Starting as a working person from Naruto

Chapter 514 The path of life I have planned may have thorns, but the end will surely be filled with flowers!

Danzo Shimura is going to die.

The old man seemed to be in some pain.

The old man had lost one eye and an arm, and his chakra was almost completely depleted, making him powerless to resist the drugs that Kabuto Yakushi injected into his body.

"This medicine is used on Root ninjas."

Kabuto Yakushi held a thick syringe in his hand and, expressionless, plunged it directly into the back of Shimura Danzo's neck. A glint of light flashed in his eyes through his glasses: "This drug can cause a person's mental breakdown. Let Lord Danzo experience the pain of his subordinates a little..."

"asshole…"

"How dare you treat this old man like this..."

Danzo Shimura's only remaining eye widened involuntarily, a surge of anger welling up within him, making it appear bloodshot: "It was only because of Orochimaru that I didn't pursue the matter back then..."

"!!!"

Orochimaru's eyes flashed as he noticed the situation.

As the somewhat sinister-looking man watched Yakushi Kabuto poison Shimura Danzo, he suddenly felt that something was amiss.

Yakushi Kabuto…

How dare they poison Danzo?

It seems that even a tiger fallen into the plains is bullied by dogs.

Orochimaru sighed regretfully, then saw Shimura Danzo, who was lying on the ground, suddenly tear off his clothes. He immediately realized something and warned Yakushi Kabuto in a low voice, "Kabuto, be careful, stay away from Danzo!"

"Die here with me!"

Danzo Shimura glared at Kabuto Yakushi through gritted teeth. A black curse mark was imprinted on his chest, and those marks were devouring his life force, spraying out black blood!

"..."

Kabuto Yakushi remained calm and composed.

If he could perish here with Shimura Danzo, taking the murderer who destroyed his life and that of Dean Yakushi Nonou to hell with him, his life would be completely fulfilling.

"The Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique..."

Orochimaru's expression subtly changed, and his body involuntarily retreated into the distance. He didn't want to risk saving Kabuto Yakushi: "Once activated, all the blood in my body will spray out to form a cursed seal, destroying and sealing everything around me..."

Even Orochimaru…

They dared not approach the range of the Inner Four Symbols Sealing Technique!

"Is that all you've got?"

Sasuke Uchiha's voice accompanied his figure as he instantly appeared beside Danzo Shimura and Kabuto Yakushi, seemingly unwilling to let Kabuto die there!

Uchiha Sasuke held a ninja sword in his hand!

The ninja sword suddenly slashed through Shimura Danzo's chest!

However, this injury was completely beyond the reach of the Four Symbols Sealing Technique, and Shimura Danzo's blood gushed out of the wound even faster!

"it's useless…"

"You're better off here..."

Ignoring his own pain, Shimura Danzo, blind in one eye and with a ferocious expression, glared at Uchiha Sasuke: "Let me take you to hell with me!"

this moment…

Danzo Shimura remembered Hiruzen Sarutobi, who sacrificed himself for Konoha!

Own…

The time for sacrifice has finally come!

I will eliminate that dangerous brat, Uchiha Sasuke, right here!

As long as I take Uchiha Sasuke away, the Uchiha clan in Konoha will be completely wiped out, and this treacherous and evil brat will no longer be able to harm Konoha!

"snort…"

"You old geezer..."

Sasuke Uchiha sneered at Danzo Shimura, his hands rapidly forming hand seals as he sneered, "Do you think you can accomplish anything great?"

Sasuke Uchiha slapped Danzo Shimura's body with his palm, and the Double Four Symbols Sealing Technique instantly sealed off Danzo Shimura's Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique!

The spraying of the dark blood stopped…

Sealing runes appeared on Shimura Danzo's chest.

This is a record that Uchiha Sasuke once saw. In the real world, Akihara Kagura once used this move to break Shimura Danzo's Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique. Sasuke himself was just imitating it, and even the preemptive slash was also learned from Akihara Kagura.

as predicted.

As the Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique failed, Shimura Danzo's black blood quickly turned crimson, and a long, gaping wound cut through his flesh on his chest, making him look even more miserable and terrifying...

"How is that possible..."

Danzo Shimura pounded his chest desperately!

The old man, on his deathbed, still clung to his last trump card, desperately pounding his chest, only worsening his injuries and causing more blood to flow…

"Sasuke-kun."

Kabuto glanced at the black-haired boy standing beside him, then lowered his head slightly: "There's no need for you to risk this to save me..."

"It's nothing."

Sasuke Uchiha waved his hand casually, seemingly unconcerned about the danger he had just faced: "You have a long future ahead of you. There's no need to waste your life on a piece of trash who's done all sorts of bad things..."

"I'll fight you to the death..."

Just as Shimura Danzo was about to rush over, his body collapsed, convulsing on the spot, his face contorted in pain from the stimulation of his brain!

drug…

It worked after all.

However, the old man's will was exceptionally strong in his final moments, and he was still trying to maintain his rationality, his one eye still glaring menacingly at Kabuto Yakushi and Sasuke Uchiha.

"Senior Dou."

"Your methods of killing aren't good enough..."

Sasuke Uchiha glanced at Kabuto Yakushi beside him and said softly, "Leaving a body behind would be too troublesome. We can't let the people of Konoha find his body..."

"I'll handle it."

A sealing scroll appeared in Kabuto's hand.

"There's a better way..."

Sasuke Uchiha grabbed Kabuto Yakushi's arm, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Why don't we just make him a sacrifice for the Impure World Reincarnation?"

"..."

Kabuto's eyes lit up.

"!!!"

A flicker of fear suddenly flashed in Shimura Danzo's eyes.

"Sasuke-kun is quite a frugal person..."

Orochimaru's voice rang in their ears. Realizing that Shimura Danzo's Reverse Four Symbols Sealing Technique had failed, the man strolled over leisurely. His gaze subtly swept over Uchiha Itachi, who had walked alongside him, and he asked with a light laugh, "Are we gathered here today to discuss Danzo's death?"

certainly…

Orochimaru remained vigilant.

This man's vigilance was at its peak at that moment!

Because he vaguely realized that the relationship between Kabuto Yakushi and Sasuke Uchiha was a little too close, like two familiar friends chatting!

"Of course not."

"Danzo isn't worth all that trouble..."

Sasuke Uchiha shook his head, his eyes falling on Orochimaru, a smile suddenly spreading across his face: "Today's protagonist is not Danzo, nor me, nor Itachi..."

"..."

Orochimaru's heart skipped a beat.

Sasuke Uchiha spread his hands and said with a smile, "Orochimaru-san, you are the main character today..."

"!!!"

Orochimaru's heart tightened.

"..."

Kabuto Yakushi took out a hideous and terrifying Shinigami mask and respectfully handed it to Sasuke Uchiha.

"Mr. Orochimaru..."

Sasuke Uchiha toyed with the Shinigami mask, casually remarking, "You must be having a lot of trouble figuring out how to use the Reaper Death Seal lately, right?"

"..."

Orochimaru's heart skipped a beat, his gaze fixed on the Shinigami mask in Sasuke's hand, a glint of greed and hope flashing in his eyes: "Sasuke-kun, you're not trying to tell me the way to undo the Reaper Death Seal is on this mask, are you?"

Probably!

Because this mask looks a lot like the Grim Reaper!

However, Orochimaru was also somewhat uneasy. This mask was not made by Sasuke Uchiha; it seemed to have always been carried by Kabuto Yakushi!

"It was found by Senior Dou."

Sasuke Uchiha casually shifted the blame onto Kabuto Yakushi, smiling as he said, "Kabuto-senpai has figured out the way to break the Reaper Death Seal. All we need is the mask left behind by the Uzumaki clan to summon Shinigami to work for us..."

"..."

Orochimaru's gaze fell on Kabuto Yakushi.

His own subordinates...

Has he always worn this Grim Reaper mask?

Kabuto Yakushi, a subordinate, had already prepared a method to undo the Reaper Death Seal, but he never told his superior, instead handing it over to Sasuke Uchiha!

"pocket…"

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, staring intently at his subordinate who had appeared remarkably loyal: "When did you switch sides with Sasuke-kun?"

"During the Chunin Exams."

Kabuto bowed slightly to show his respect for Orochimaru, seemingly not wanting to displease him because of his collusion with Sasuke Uchiha: "Because I witnessed Sasuke-kun's power, and after a few brief exchanges with him, I discovered that Sasuke-kun is someone worth following..."

"especially…"

Kabuto adjusted his glasses and calmly continued, "Sasuke knew that Orochimaru's trump card, the Impure World Reincarnation technique, intended to assassinate the Third Hokage during the Chunin Exams, would inevitably be broken by the Third Hokage's Reaper Death Seal, since the Fourth Hokage sealed the Nine-Tails in the same way many years ago. So he had me find the method to undo the Reaper Death Seal in advance..."

"..."

Orochimaru's face suddenly darkened.

What does this mean?

Could it be that…

That brat Uchiha Sasuke…

Did you foresee everything you were going to experience?

Do not…

That's not surprising!

This kid has excellent logical thinking skills!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to create a world out of imagination!

Orochimaru recalled the genjutsu he had fallen for during the Chunin Exams. Within that genjutsu, strange futures had faintly appeared, seemingly mirroring the evolution of Sasuke Uchiha's own logical thought processes—for example, the idea that Sasuke was the reincarnation of Indra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths…

Perhaps only the reincarnation of Indra's chakra, the eldest son of the Sage of Six Paths, can explain everything, and explain why Uchiha Sasuke became so powerful in such a short time...

pity…

There isn't much information inside...

Moreover, a large portion of the story consists of Akihara Kagura, a figment of Uchiha Sasuke's imagination.

However, Sasuke Uchiha himself fell for that genjutsu, which allowed him to gain immense power in the shortest amount of time. To this day, the kid is still obsessed with that genjutsu, believing that he has been saved by Kagura Akihara.

"Put on this mask..."

"That way, you can summon the Grim Reaper..."

"That way, the souls devoured by the Grim Reaper can be released..."

Sasuke Uchiha presented the mask to Orochimaru and continued softly, "In this way, your soul will be whole again..."

"certainly."

"Your soul will also be hunted down by Death..."

"But your Reanimation Jutsu and Orochi-ryu Substitution Jutsu are more than enough to escape the Grim Reaper's pursuit, and nothing bad will happen to you..."

"..."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes, sizing up the people present, and suddenly said, "I only recently used the Reanimation Jutsu, and there aren't any suitable containers around for me to use, are there...?"

Orochimaru suddenly grinned wickedly: "Does Sasuke-kun really want you or Itachi-kun to become my new vessel?"

"No…"

"There's still a way to make new containers..."

Sasuke Uchiha shrugged and raised his wrist: "I can bear your Heavenly Curse Seal. Leave a Heavenly Curse Seal on myself beforehand, and I will use the Exorcism Seal to revive you. The escaped soul can merge with your reborn self..."

There's nothing we can do about it.

Because Sasuke Uchiha didn't have any White Zetsu at his disposal, he couldn't create White Zetsu as a new vessel for Orochimaru like Kagura Akihara did.

But...

Sasuke Uchiha had followed Orochimaru for two or three years in an attempt to assassinate him, so he knew Orochimaru inside and out. This little problem was no problem for him.

"Sasuke-kun really knows me well..."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and suggested a possibility: "However, if Sasuke-kun doesn't choose to revive himself using the Exorcism Seal, but instead kills my soul that escaped from the Grim Reaper's grasp..."

"Senior Red Bean is still alive."

"I heard that she also has a curse mark on her body."

Sasuke Uchiha casually mentioned Orochimaru's other trump card for resurrection, and slowly threatened, "If I wanted to kill you here, I would definitely have dealt with the cursed seal on her beforehand, but the fact that I didn't prove my sincerity..."

"And the price?"

Orochimaru's eyes narrowed.

"you."

Sasuke Uchiha pointed at Orochimaru, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "In terms of both power and ability, Mr. Orochimaru is an extremely excellent partner. I need your help, just like you did with Danzo..."

"We're cooperating..."

"You've come to create a threat for Konoha..."

"And I'll deal with the threats you've created..."

Sasuke Uchiha spread his hands, adopting the demeanor of a high-ranking Konoha official, demonstrating his desire for sincere cooperation: "If the two of us are willing to join hands, we can seize power in Konoha from the shadows..."

"certainly."

"I need to give you a heads-up."

Sasuke Uchiha's eyes turned cold, a crimson glint flashed in them, and he suddenly appeared beside Orochimaru!

"!!!"

Orochimaru felt a chill run down his spine.

This is…

What speed!

Did this brat leave the Flying Thunder God's mark on himself?!

The black-haired boy slowly raised his head, looking up at Orochimaru who was so close to him, his scarlet eyes meeting Orochimaru's.

"Mr. Orochimaru..."

"I've given you a way out..."

"This is not a path you were given to choose..."

"I just want you to know how you should walk your path in the future..."

Sasuke Uchiha extended his hand, slowly clenching it into a fist, and threatened Orochimaru without any politeness: "Mr. Orochimaru, from the moment you appeared here, you should have known your fate..."

"!!!"

Orochimaru clenched his teeth.

That brat…

Was she threatening him?

And this kind of threat is even quite effective!

Because Sasuke Uchiha's actions clearly showed that he had his life and death in his hands, and even planted Kabuto Yakushi by his side to lure him here, all for this moment of confrontation!

"Please believe me..."

"The path I'm giving you will definitely be the best one..."

After making a threat, Uchiha Sasuke skillfully mimicked Akihara Kagura's manner and began offering sweet words: "Even if this road may be full of thorns, and walking on it may lead you to fall off a cliff, with my support, you will definitely be able to reach the end of this road..."

"At the finish line..."

"It must be full of blooming flowers there."
