Kotoamatsukami! The altered will

The moment Shinki saw Danzo, he realized something was wrong.

"Didn't we agree that the Hokage would be waiting for me here? Why was it Danzo instead?" Shinki asked.

The Danzo Anbu had been following Shinki suddenly changed his tone, becoming fierce. "How dare you address Lord Danzo by his given name?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Danzo on the Naka Bridge waved his hand.

"Buzz--"

The Formation is set in motion!

A pale red barrier completely enveloped an area of several hundred meters in radius!

Shinki's gaze sharpened, and he attempted to move using the Flying Thunder God.

As expected, any Space-Time Ninjutsu is prohibited within the barrier!

The next moment!

"Splash--"

Dozens of Ninjas emerged from the distant woods and rushed towards the Shinki, surrounding it completely!

Shinki frowned.

These Ninjas did not sense his arrival when he first arrived.

They deliberately stayed out of my perception range!

It seems the other side was well-prepared!

Before Shinki could speak, one of the Ninjas surrounding Shinki said, "Danzo invites you to go up and take a look."

Since I couldn't run away anyway, I might as well be bolder.

Let's go up and see what kind of trouble that old dog Danzo is up to!

Under the moonlight, Shinki slowly walked along the trade route onto the Naka Bridge.

The unidentified Crow continued to circle above his head.

Since arriving at the Shinki, Danzo's gaze has remained Shinki on it.

After seeing Shinki cross the bridge, a half-smile appeared on his face.

The dim moonlight, coupled with Danzo's zombie-like expression, made even the usually fearless Shinki feel a chill run down his spine...

"Danzo, is there something you need me for that you've summoned here so many times today?"

Shinki spoke with considerable respect.

Danzo laughed and said, "Kid, do you know what? I admire you very much."

"You're only a teenager, yet you've reached heights that most people can only dream of in a lifetime."

"Right now, you only need to say one sentence, and countless people will be willing to make you Hokage."

"But the times I lived in were different. In that era of war, people died every day... Even my teacher, the Second Hokage, was not spared."

"Before he died, he appointed the Monkey, also known as the Third Hokage, to continue the mission of protecting Konoha."

"If the Third Hokage is a leaf bathed in sunlight, then I am a root living in darkness. The higher the leaf grows, the deeper the root sinks."

Light and darkness complement each other.

After listening to Danzo's words, Shinki understood.

It turns out that Danzo was the person behind the "Root" organization.

"If it's really as righteous as you say, then why does everyone in the 'Root' organization have the Tongue Root Calamity Eradication Seal on their tongue?" Shinki retorted bluntly.

Shinki discovered the presence of Sealing Jutsu on the members of the 'Root' organization during their first contact with them.

Upon contact with Sai, Shinki once again sensed that familiar Sealing Jutsu Breath and confirmed that Sai was indeed a member of the 'Root' organization.

Meanwhile, during these days of close contact, Shinki, through consulting Konoha's records, confirmed that the Curse Mark on Sai's tongue was the Tongue Root Calamity Eradication Seal that forbids the leakage of secrets!

Danzo had his own explanation for the questions surrounding the Shinki: "As I said, it's hidden in the shadows, so naturally there are some secrets that can't be told to the outside world."

After saying that, Danzo turned around, leaned on the bridge railing, and looked at the quietly flowing Naka River.

The river surface Reflection the moonlight, shimmering and sparkling.

"Alright, let's get back to business."

Danzo his head, his exposed, murky eye staring intently at the Shinki: "Would you like to join us and pledge your loyalty to me?"

Taking even a second longer to consider something is a disrespect to one's own Ninja Way.

Shinki answered decisively, "No!"

Danzo, who had anticipated Shinki's response, pointed to the ever-flowing Naka River beneath the bridge.

"Several years ago, there was also a very dazzling genius from the Uchiha Clan."

"He made a name for himself during the Third Shinobi World War with his Body Flicker Technique and Genjutsu."

"But later, he jumped into the Naka River, and I never even found his body."

His name is Shisui Uchiha.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Shinki shook his head. "Never heard of it."

Danzo: "You don't need to remember his name."

"But you should know that his Sharingan possesses the strongest Genjutsu to date, capable of directly invading the opponent's brain and altering their will without them noticing."

Danzo spoke, his still-mobile left hand slowly tapped the bandage covering his right eye. "That Genjutsu is called..."

Shinki couldn't help but tense up upon seeing this.

He subtly formed a hand seal with his left hand, ready to activate Wood Release at any moment to create distance!

The next moment, the bandage covering his right eye was completely ripped off during the team fight!

Beneath the bandages was a scarlet Three-Tomoe Sharingan!

In the Sharingan, the Mitsudomoe rotate around the pupil.

Then, it transformed into a shape resembling a windmill!

Danzo a soft shout, "Kotoamatsukami!"

Shinki's movements immediately froze for a moment!

Danzo's face immediately lit up with a smug expression!

Kotoamatsukami is hailed as the strongest Genjutsu, directly altering the opponent's will, with no way to break it!

It can turn everyone under this Genjutsu into the caster's puppet!

At this time, Kotoamatsukami was inside Shinki, and his will had been modified by Danzo, turning him into a puppet completely at Danzo's beck and call!

"It seems you're not as talented as Shisui."

Danzo looked at the Shinki, which resembled a puppet, and said...

At this moment, in the eyes of the Shinki who had already been possessed by Kotoamatsukami, the Crow that had been following him for who knows how long appeared, its figure appearing in the moonlight and landing on the bridgehead.

Under the disc-shaped moon.

In the Crow's eyes, a windmill Sharingan pattern appeared, identical to Danzo's right eye!!

The will of the Shinki, which had already been modified, was altered once again under the influence of the Crow Sharingan!

The Shinki, its will restored, was panting heavily!

"Whoosh--whoosh--"

That was close!

If it weren't for the Crows.

He had already fallen into the Danzo that old dog Danzo.

I've become this old dog's puppet!

Shinki didn't have time to think about which side the Crow belonged to, or who had sent it to help him...

There's only one thing he needs to do now—kill that Danzo!

On the bridgehead, Danzo was still immersed in the joy of victory.

He never expected this.

The will that has been modified by 'Kotoamatsukami' can be modified back by another 'Kotoamatsukami'.

A smug Danzo continued, yelling at the Shinki, "Now I command you to kill the Fifth and Third Hokage!"

The village would inevitably descend into chaos if the Fifth and Third Hokage died.

That way, he can become the next Hokage!

Shinki remained unmoved by Danzo's orders.

The Bone Blade at his waist gleamed coldly in the moonlight!

Immediately afterwards!

A dark shadow flashed by.

"Pfft!"

The Bone Blade pierced through Danzo's chest in an instant!

Shinki's tone was icy. "I think the one who deserves to die right now is you!"
