Wang Yan glanced at Danzo with a half-smile.
"Talent, personality, ability, persona... no matter what you called it, it was ultimately just an individual trait."
"And your trait was 'adaptive fusion.'"
At this point, Wang Yan looked at Danzo as though he were an idiot. "Your blood had originally shown the beginnings of 'Perfect Blood.' It could adapt to and fuse genetic fragments from all kinds of lifeforms. Otherwise, why did you think you survived after transplanting Hashirama Cells and so many Sharingan?"
"And weren't you curious why your Hashirama Cells hadn't interacted with Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan and evolved into a Rinnegan?"
The Rinnegan!
The legendary eyes of the Sage of Six Paths!
So that was how it came to be?
Danzo was filled with doubt, but his hands did not slow in the slightest. Secretly, he burned every metal object on his body to ashes.
As he made those small movements, he retorted, "Impossible! My parents, and even my ancestors, were ordinary people without Kekkei Genkai! My original bloodline was vile and lowly!"
"Now, I possess the bloodline of Hashirama Senju, the First Hokage! You could say that I am the First Hokage's son!"
"I am his descendant, inheriting everything he had! I am the Will of Fire! I am the Senju Clan's sole legitimate heir! From this day onward, I am not Shimura Danzō. I am... Senju Danzo!"
The more he spoke, the more frenzied he became, and the more fervent his tone grew.
He was not trying to convince Wang Yan. He was merely hypnotizing himself.
Inside his secret base, Danzo had already given himself a complete blood transfusion. Even his bone marrow hematopoietic stem cells and internal organs had been replaced with organs cloned from Hashirama Cells.
Now, he had completely lost the trait Wang Yan
