Danzo's Upgrade! Danzo ProMax!

Beneath the Hokage Building, inside Root's laboratory.

Brown wooden racks were lined with jars and bottles, each containing Sharingan. There were twenty-four in total. One Sharingan had already turned gray-white and lost its luster. Another seven were three-tomoe Sharingan, while the rest were two-tomoe and one-tomoe.

That was right. These were the eyes of the Uchiha ninjas who had died on their return journey from the Daimyo's Mansion mission.

Danzo lay on the operating table.

Danzo gave them his final orders before the operation.

"Remember, once the surgery begins, no matter how I react, you are not to stop unless my life is in danger!"

"Yes!"

The three surgical staff members, wearing white caps, masks, and yellow lab coats, acknowledged the order.

The surgery began. Anesthetic was injected, followed by instruments to monitor his heartbeat and pulse, constantly tracking Danzo's vital signs.

"Beginning the transplantation of the first Sharingan."

The surgery proceeded at incredible speed, and the three-tomoe Sharingan on the wooden rack dwindled one by one.

"Beginning the transplantation of the fifth Sharingan."

However, at the very instant the fifth Sharingan was implanted into Danzo's arm—

The readings on the nearby monitor showed that his heartbeat had climbed to nearly two hundred! The machine immediately began blaring a piercing alarm.

Danzo's unconscious expression turned twisted as he began to howl unconsciously. His right shoulder started to wither.

"Quick! Yin-Yang Chakra is out of balance! Inject the Hashirama Cell solution!"

The medical staff hurriedly took out a syringe. Watching the monitor, they slowly injected the pale green fluid.

One sixty, one thirty, eighty-four.

Danzo's heartbeat gradually stabilized. At the same time, the Yin-Yang Release Chakra within his body returned to a nearly one-to-one ratio.

More than half an hour passed before the transplantation was finally complete. The Medical Ninja immediately began treating Danzo with the Mystical Palm Technique.

Before long, Danzo opened his eyes and woke up.

He got straight off the operating table and felt the Chakra in his body.

It was fuller than ever before! The Chakra inside him had directly tripled! He raised his right hand and looked at it.

Seven scarlet Sharingan opened at once, three tomoe standing proudly within their pupils.

Danzo looked at the blood-red Sharingan on his hand and his pale white skin.

What a perfect arm. So this is Orochimaru's research result—the perfect fusion of Uchiha and Senju power!

He then raised his hand and removed the bandages wrapped around his right eye, exposing the Mangekyō Sharingan to the air.

Walking over to a mirror, Danzo continued admiring his masterpiece.

Wood Release! Mangekyō Sharingan! The ultimate secrets of both the Senju Clan and the Uchiha Clan were in his hands. Now, who in Konoha could possibly be a match for Danzo!

It was just a pity that he had failed to obtain Shisui's other Mangekyo. It had likely already been destroyed by Shisui, leaving him unable to peer into the Uchiha Clan's Susanoo.

Once the surgery was over, Danzo left the operating room. Ryoma Aburame and more than thirty Root elite ninjas stood guard outside.

Danzo looked at Ryoma Aburame's empty right arm, his brows tightening into a frown.

Seeing this, Ryoma immediately dropped to one knee.

"Lord Danzo! I never expected that Uchiha Chizakura would know the forbidden technique Izanagi! He caught me off guard."

"But please rest assured, my Aburame group mainly fights by controlling insects. Losing my right arm has not affected much of my strength."

"Also, I have secretly brought Toru Aburame to Root's training camp. In just a few years, that child will be able to take my place!"

At the mention of Toru Aburame, a satisfied smile appeared on Danzo's face. He knew that brat covered in purple poisonous insects.

He was the orphaned son of the deceased elder brother of Shibi Aburame, the current head of the Aburame clan—the child who had inherited Aburame Shikuroo's poisonous insects.

When Danzo had brought Root ninjas and the Hokage's writ to the Aburame clan to demand people, he had failed to take away Shino Aburame and Toru Aburame, the two children he had set his sights on. He could only settle for taking several children from branch families instead.

Yet he had never expected Ryoma Aburame to somehow bring this genius over.

Once this child was put to proper use, he would become a devastating weapon in war!

"Not bad. Then I won't punish you for the mistake of losing a three-tomoe Sharingan this time."

"Go inside now. I'll have them transplant an arm for you."

Danzo was quite pleased with Ryoma's private actions. As a reward, he granted Ryoma a new arm.

As for the fact that Ryoma had completed the mission, delivered the genius boy Toru Aburame, and received nothing except a replacement arm—

Danzo felt that it had nothing to do with him. As long as this brainwashed fool could serve him, he would be happy enough inside. Wasn't Danzo's praise itself a reward?

Just as Danzo was smugly reveling in his own thoughts, a shout interrupted his fantasy.

"Who is it?! Can't you see I just finished surgery and am resting to recover?!"

A Root ninja wearing a cat-face mask dropped to one knee before Danzo. Panting heavily, he spoke in a trembling voice.

"My apologies for disturbing your rest, Lord Danzo. This subordinate deserves death, but the situation is truly urgent! This intelligence must be reported to you immediately!"

Danzo's brow immediately furrowed.

"Speak. What intelligence could possibly warrant such a fuss?"

Having just transplanted seven Sharingan, Danzo felt as though he had evolved from Danzo into Danzo ProMax!

He believed himself invincible in Konoha—perhaps even unmatched in the entire ninja world!

After all, he now possessed the power of both the Uchiha and the Senju...

"Itachi Uchiha has just attacked Root together with Senya Uchiha and Fugaku Uchiha!"

Danzo remained calm.

"So, three Uchiha attacked Root. What's there to make such a fuss over—"

Smack!!

Danzo slapped the cat-masked ninja so hard that the mask cracked.

"What did you say?! Why did you take so long to tell me something this important?!"

"All Root members! Return to Root with me immediately!"

"The surgery hasn't started yet. Bring Ryoma too!"

Danzo led the more than thirty Root elites behind him back to the forest behind Hokage Rock.

They arrived at the underground base.

The air was thick with the smell of burning.

The main gate had been kicked open. The guards had fallen at the entrance, their corpses carbonized.

There was not a sound throughout the base. It was filled with deathly silence.

Danzo entered the base, and the sight before him filled him with rage.

Even the corpses had been burned down to nothing but skeletons and ashes.

"How could three Uchiha possibly possess such strength?! Even if they were all merely genin and chunin, how could they wipe them out and leave so quickly?!"

The cat-masked ninja dropped to his knees before Danzo again.

"Lord Danzo, when I left to report the intelligence to you, I saw that Senya Uchiha's eyes were somewhat different from three tomoe. They had another pat—"

Smack!!!

Another heavy slap left the cat-masked ninja dizzy and disoriented. His mask shattered, and he collapsed unconscious onto the ground.

Unconcealed greed and savagery shone in Danzo's eyes.

"Another pair of Mangekyō Sharingan! That damned Senya Uchiha..."

"It seems I still have a chance to glimpse Susanoo—the power of a god!"
