With one blink of his eyes, he was alive again.
Danzo found it rather miraculous. Who was it that knew this old man had worked tirelessly and accomplished so much, all for Konoha, and had deliberately revived him with Impure World Reincarnation?
No, someone capable of using this Forbidden Technique that transcended life and death might be an enemy. Did they clearly know how powerful this old man was, so they had specifically revived him?
"So it was you after all, Orochimaru. A bastard like you was never going to die so easily."
Danzo slowly raised his head. His cold face twitched slightly as he saw Orochimaru performing the technique.
"After thinking it over, you are the only one who could have used this technique. You summoned this old man back to the world of the living, only to have him fight his disciple?" Danzo looked expressionlessly at Genitsu across from him.
Genitsu scratched his head. "Ah, I really didn't expect it to be you, sir, who got summoned through Impure World Reincarnation... I had originally planned to kill Orochimaru again this time. He keeps targeting me, and letting him run loose would be troublesome."
"It seems you know quite a lot about Impure World Reincarnation and are not surprised in the least... Is that so? After this old man died, you must have inherited my position and obtained the ninjutsu I spent my life collecting."
Danzo felt his current state, especially the nearly inexhaustible Chakra within him, and it fascinated him.
At the same time, he rapidly assessed the situation and estimated Genitsu's age from his build.
He had been dead for about... three years?
Three years was enough time for Genitsu to take the position of Root's leader, then learn and master a great many secret techniques.
