Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

Did Itachi know the inside story?

Of course, he didn't.

Although Itachi belonged to the Hokage's Anbu, he had no connection to Danzo's Root.

The matter of taking Shisui's eye was entirely Danzo's scheme after he unintentionally learned of the eye's ability.

Only the result was a bit unsatisfactory, for Danzo.

Who could have imagined that Shisui could still activate Susanoo with only one eye left.

What's more, Shisui was the Big Brother in Itachi's heart, how could he do something to betray Shisui.

Ignoring the questioning gazes of the clan members, Itachi first simply bandaged Shisui's eye, then took him out of the room to let the clan's medical Ninja treat him.

On the other side, after the plan to take Shisui's eye failed, Danzo did not hesitate, setting fire to destroy everything within the Root organization to ensure no experimental data or similar was left behind.

He fled Konoha Village overnight with the Anbu Root organization members.

Danzo stood on a tall tree outside Konoha Village, overlooking the full view of Konoha Village in the distance. As the breeze blew, his heart was filled with emotion.

This Village where he had lived since childhood.

Everything he loved...

"Since things have come to this, I have no choice but to defect from Konoha Village, go find Orochimaru, and continue researching Hashirama Cells and Sharingan."

"Once I fully grasp their secrets, I will return!"

"Evil Uchiha, evil Lan Mingang!"

"We're not done!"

For this Village where he had lived for over sixty years, even though Danzo's heart was full of reluctance, he had to leave.

Nothing else, just because Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze was already dissatisfied with him.

Before, when Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi was in power, he was the second-in-command in Konoha Village.

Even if he did some things wrong, as Hiruzen Sarutobi's brother and classmate.

Hiruzen Sarutobi also turned a blind eye.

But after Hiruzen Sarutobi stepped down and Minato Namikaze took office.

Unknowingly, the surging Uchiha Fugaku, the head of the thriving Uchiha Clan, subtly showed signs of becoming the second-in-command of Konoha Village.

He began to gradually replace Danzo's position.

How could this make Danzo feel at ease.

The gentle breeze behind him suddenly stopped. Danzo, who was filled with emotion, quickly drew a kunai and fiercely stabbed behind him.

Killing intent!

However, before Danzo's arm could fully stab behind him, his entire body seemed to have suddenly been paused, maintaining the posture of holding a kunai and stabbing backward, standing motionless on the treetop with a blank expression.

But the eye that was not wrapped in bandages was constantly trembling slightly.

Can't move!

Danzo was greatly shocked in his heart.

It's him!

That man is here!

Fear surged into his heart.

The voice of the person who made him lose sleep at night came from behind him.

"Heh, your vigilance is quite strong."

"But, it's only high vigilance."

As the words fell, Lan Mingang appeared before Danzo.

Under Danzo's horrified gaze, Lan Mingang slightly hooked his finger.

Danzo only felt a pain in his right eye, which had just been transplanted with Shisui's Sharingan, and then saw a bloody eye flying towards Lan Mingang's palm.

Sharingan!

That's my Sharingan!

My Kotoamatsukami!

Danzo roared in anger in his heart, wanting to take it back.

But his body simply wouldn't obey, unable to move.

After retrieving Shisui's Sharingan, Lan Mingang directly disappeared from Danzo's sight.

At the same time, Danzo finally regained control of his body.

"I'm alive?"

Danzo felt fortunate in his heart, not expecting Lan Mingang to not kill him.

Just as Danzo was about to sprint away, he found that his body was slowly turning into dust and ash, gradually dissipating into the air.

Danzo looked at his arm, which had already disappeared by more than half, his expression frozen.

He quickly tore off the bandage on his right arm.

He wanted to use the Sharingan's ability, Izanagi, to reverse life and death.

However, no matter how Danzo circulated the Chakra within his body, the Sharingan on his arm had no reaction whatsoever.

"Izanagi!"

"Izanagi!"

"Bastard!"

Danzo roared maniacally:

"Lan Mingang, may you not have a good deat—"

Before Danzo could finish roaring, his entire body and soul completely dissipated.

Konoha Village, at Lan Mingang's doorstep.

Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze and Uchiha Fugaku had been waiting here for a long time.

Upon learning that Danzo had taken Shisui's eye, Minato immediately mobilized personnel to apprehend Danzo.

But they returned empty-handed.

It was as if an invisible force was constantly obstructing him from capturing Danzo.

Being able to become Hokage, Minato was not a fool.

He immediately thought of the retired Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi.

After all, there was a precedent; Danzo was also involved in Orochimaru's human experimentation defection, but he was protected by the Third Hokage.

Seeing Uchiha Fugaku's expression, which demanded an explanation, for the unity of the Village.

Minato brought Fugaku to Lan Mingang for help.

Seeking Lan Mingang's assistance.

This led to Lan Mingang taking the Kotoamatsukami from Danzo's eye, and incidentally killing him instantly.

"Here!"

"The eye you wanted!"

Lan Mingang's voice suddenly sounded without warning. Minato and Fugaku quickly looked in the direction of the voice.

They saw that Lan Mingang had appeared at the doorstep at some point, holding a three-tomoe Sharingan suspended in his hand.

"Thank you, thank you."

"Thank you, Master Lan!"

Uchiha Fugaku respectfully bowed ninety degrees to thank him.

He took out a container of nutrient solution, opened it, carefully took the Sharingan from Lan Mingang's hand, and placed it in the nutrient solution.

"Thank you, Master Lan, for your help."

Minato Namikaze also respectfully thanked him and asked:

"As for Danzo Shimura...?"

"He's already dead, the kind that even Edo Tensei can't revive," Lan Mingang said indifferently.

Hearing this, Minato and Fugaku were inwardly horrified.

Cannot be revived by Edo Tensei! Doesn't that mean Danzo's soul was also scattered by Lan Mingang!

Terrifyingly powerful!

Can't afford to provoke him, can't afford to provoke him.

Standing before such a strong person, they were really worried that the other party might accidentally scatter them too.

Let's go, let's go...

After Minato and Fugaku left, Lan Mingang entered the Tai Chu Space.

Due to the different flow of time inside and outside the Tai Chu Space under Lan Mingang's control, although Lan Mingang had been in the Ninja World for about ten years, less than a week had passed inside the Tai Chu Space.

In the Sky Garden, Lan Mingang recounted his experiences of the past few days to the girls.

"Ninjutsu!?"

"The kind that can go into the ground and water, and climb walls and eaves?" Mitsuri asked curiously.

"It's a bit stronger than you imagine, not traditional Ninjutsu."

Saying that, Lan Mingang began to demonstrate various Ninjutsu.

The gorgeous Ninjutsu and cool giants drew exclamations from the girls.

"I know this one, it's Susanoo!"

"We even used it when we killed Upper Moon One Kokushibo!" Ume, who participated in the slaying of Kokushibo with Lan Mingang, said excitedly, looking at the hundreds of meters tall dark purple glowing Susanoo.

Tsugumi held Lan Mingang's hands with both her own, constantly shaking them and acting spoiled:

"Brother Mingang, quickly take us to the Ninja World, I want to learn Ninjutsu!"

The other girls, Zhu Shi, Mitsuri Kanroji, Butterfly Shinobu, Kanao Tsuyuri, Aoi Kanzaki, Nezuko, Ume, Kanae Kocho, Yuzuriha Inori, Menjou Hare, Shinomiya Ayase, and Arisa Gong Feng Yuan, also developed a strong interest in the Ninja World.
