Naruto: I am Ninja World Ghost Story, who are you?

Hidan stepped forward and spoke, while Danzo also saw Hidan's current state.

The position in front of him was almost identical to the wind-style damage he received...

Wait a minute!

Is it possible? !

Danzo had a bad feeling and, despite the pain in his body, got up.

"You...you actually...you actually took the pain upon me!"

This ability is unprecedented.

"It's alright." Hidan didn't care. Instead, he raised his right hand and stabbed his thigh hard.

Pfft!

Blood splattered, and Danzo's restless eyes widened once more.

"Ahhhh-"

At the same moment, his thigh was also pierced by a hand!

"If only I hadn't been so reckless..." Danzo was filled with regret. Why did he even participate in this mission? If he had another chance, he definitely wouldn't...

"Okay, it's almost done."

"Next, you will become the sacrifice."

Hidan took out a wisp of 'black mist' that he had obtained during his trip to the central building on the mainland.

"What do you want to do!"

What do you want to do to me?!

Danzo roared, but Hidan, in order to make Danzo open his mouth wide, once again put his hand down to his lower body.

But the location of the attack this time caused Danzo's eyes to widen in horror, and he became completely dazed.

The intense pain emanating from the center directly below made him afraid to look down.

In a split second, his eyes rolled back, and he was about to die from the pain.

"Damn it!" Hidan realized he had accidentally poked the wrong spot.

Seeing his own slowly recovering body and the bleeding lower body of the other man, he quickly stepped forward and stuffed the 'black mist' into Danzo's mouth.

"Now, we're counting on you."

The black mist entered Danzo's body.

The 'sealed coffin' somewhere began to shake, and the black mist around it seemed to begin to subside.

At the same time, Danzo's eyelids twitched slightly, and he opened his eyes shortly afterward.

"Hidan."

"You're awake?" Hidan bowed and asked.

This is the "Dark Sage" who is going to become the second "Sage of Six Paths"!

"The plan should begin."

"Next, let's reclaim the power of the Dark Pillar."

Danzo gave a cold laugh.

......

Dark Leaf Village, at the village entrance.

Tsunade and Izumi Uchiha met up first, and soon after, they saw Pakura and Rei Uchiha, as well as Kurotsuchi and Samui.

Finally...

"Old man," Tsunade greeted Hiruzen Sarutobi as he arrived.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's lips twitched as he looked around, but couldn't find Danzo. He couldn't help but ask, "Where's Danzo?"

The women looked at each other and shook their heads.

None of them saw Danzo.

Seeing this, Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't help but turn around and look at the white mist forest not far away, his face twitching as he said, "He's not dead again, is he? Danzo."

The women all thought the same.

However, Danzo's subsequent appearance surprised everyone present.

"Danzo, you bastard! I thought you were dead again."

After having his arm fitted with Sharingan and Hashirama cells, Hiruzen Sarutobi felt his body had become much younger.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm like you, Sarutobi?" Danzo's gaze swept over the women present, a cold smile creeping across his face.

So much power...

If I could absorb their bodies...

Unaware that they were being targeted, the six women shrugged and walked into the village with Hatake Sakumo ahead of them.

Hatake Sagumo has lived here for a year and is almost an old man in Anba Village.

They knew the village's facilities inside and out.

After the introductions were finished, Zuo Yun led everyone to the territory of the Dark Pillar Clan.

Anzhu hasn't worked in the office for a long time.

Since his battle with Dark Wind, his life force has been rapidly declining.

If it weren't for his formidable strength, he probably would have died just days after that battle.

Looking at Anzhu, whose face showed signs of fatigue and bore a resemblance to that of his second grandfather and even his grandfather, one could see a hint of weariness on his face.

Tsunade couldn't help but recall that scene from back then.

His grandfather, it seems, also went from being a god of the ninja world to a frail old man after his battle with Madara.

The difference between the hidden pillar in front of him and his grandfather is...

The dark pillar still retains a relatively youthful appearance.

"Here you are, everyone."

"Cough cough."

Anzhu couldn't help but cough a few times, spitting out a lot of blood. He then awkwardly took out a handkerchief to wipe it away, saying, "I'm sorry, everyone, please excuse my poor appearance."

In response, Hatake Saigumo remained silent.

"Dark pillar..."

This year of getting along allowed Hatake Saigumo to truly understand what the Will of Fire is.

As for the certain Hokage, Hatake Sagumo hasn't wanted to speak to him since he entered.

"Zuoyun, it's alright, this was bound to happen sooner or later." Anzhu felt that he should also tell Zuoyun how to challenge the 'Dark Immortal'.

"Whether it's me, or Dark Wind whose will has been corrupted by the 'Dark Immortal'."

"None of them can escape the fate of death."

"???"

Hatake Sakumo's face was filled with disbelief.

He shook his head in disbelief: "If we hadn't dragged you into this, you wouldn't have ended up like this... Dark Pillar."

He always believed that the ninja world had caused trouble for the dark world.

If the ninja world hadn't sent out such useless Jonin, so many 'Dark Infiltrators' and 'Dark Ones' wouldn't have been created.

Anzhu smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Haha—Zuoyun, even if it weren't for you, there would have been others. This kind of thing is bound to happen eventually."

"What has happened before will happen again."

“What has been done will be done again.”

"Everyone, take my core and head to Dark Cloud Village to challenge the final Dark Thunder!"

He already knew that Dark Earth had just 'left' and that the two from Dark Rock Village were probably also heading to Dark Cloud Village.

As long as you have the 'core', you can sense each other's location.

"Of the Five Dark Ones, only I am left." The Dark Pillar sighed, then looked up and saw Hatake Sagumo shedding tears. He couldn't help but comfort him, "Sagumo, you will definitely become an excellent ninja in the future... No! You already are."

"If possible, I hope that one day you can come to the Dark Realm again, visit my tombstone, and tell me about the Light Realm."

With tears streaming down his face, Hatake Sakumo grasped the other's right hand: "Yes! Definitely!"

Dark Pillar smiled and reached out his left hand to pull out a 'Wood Core' that emitted a deep green light from his chest.

"This was given to us by the Dark Immortal."

"Before heading to the final battle."

“You can go and take a look at that historical inscription.”

"History...inscription?" Hatake Sakumo sobbed, suddenly realizing something.

"Could it be... Dark Pillar, you..."

Anju smiled slightly: "Special powers aren't limited to the Sharingan."

"I knew this day would come."

"Now, the hope for the Dark Realm and the Light Realm rests in your hands."

"I'm entrusting Dark Leaf Village to you as well, An Yu."

The Dark Universe Clan Chief stood silently by the bedside.

The silent tears were enough to prove that he was a living, breathing human being.

But there was nothing that could be done to prevent this from happening.

"Dark Pillar!" Hatake Sagumo roared in a low voice as he looked at the Dark Pillar's current state.

He really, really wanted to take the Dark Pillar and the ninjas of Dark Leaf Village to the Light Realm to see for themselves that the world is not just a continent and a small island.

There's even more new stuff to come!

Dark Pillar held the 'Core of Wood' in his hands, and his body turned into dark green firefly-like lights that were beginning to disappear.

"Go, Zuoyun."

"I believe you."

You will definitely do it.

The dark green light gradually dissipated, and Hatake Sakumo knelt on the ground.

The last time I cried was the night he chose to commit suicide.

Now, he is about to experience the pain of separation from loved ones again.

In the corridor, behind the shoji screen door, Obito Uchiha leaned against the door, listening to the low sobbing behind him.

He couldn't help but reach out and touch the 'Water Core' on his neck.

"Dark water..."

Not long after Dark Pillar's death, Chief Anyu gave Dark Pillar a message to tell everyone.

The way to break the seal is to collect the five core items and go to the 'Immortal's Tomb'!

Danzo was pleased to hear about this.

Temple of the Immortals.

The group returned to the site to examine the complete historical text.

[I am a wisp of 'evil thought' discarded by the Sage of Six Paths. Nourished by the energy of this world and relying on the knowledge of my original body, I reached the realm of the Six Paths and established the Dark Ninja Sect.]

But the energy of this world is too evil; it has begun to erode my mind...
