Shimura Danzo
No··
What kind of joke is this?
When Shirou Emiya asked Yakushi Kabuto's heart skipped a beat, because he never expected that Shirou Emiya would invite him!
Although Yakushi Kabuto had been trying to persuade Shirou Emiya, even thinking that Shirou Emiya's ideas were too naive and even foolish, when Shirou Emiya suddenly invited him to join him, Yakushi Kabuto subconsciously mocked himself.
Am I, an ordinary person, really fortunate enough to receive such favor?
Yakushi Kabuto's heart pounded violently. He could hardly contain the turmoil of his emotions, and even his mouth felt dry.
"Lord Emiya."
"You don't want to?"
Shirou Emiya's reaction differed somewhat from Yakushi Kabuto's: "Of course not—"
Yakushi Kabuto became even more nervous, and when he heard Shirou Emiya's invitation, he wanted to follow in his footsteps without hesitation.
"Then come with me and give it a try."
Shirou Emiya glanced at the dilapidated Orphanage and said softly, "Come with me to change this world, to bring about eternal peace. Then, I'll let you return to this Orphanage— "
[SSS-Rank Mission: When Yakushi Kabuto is lost in his life, help him find a true purpose in life. Request completed. Rewards: Impure World Reincarnation (Complete Version), Body Modification Technique (Complete Version), Cell Transplantation Technique (Complete Version)]
"!!!"
Shirou Emiya's heart skipped a beat.
Are the complete versions obtained from these commission rewards the final versions?
Shirou Emiya very familiar with the differences between the various versions of the Impure World Reincarnation, because he had been constantly researching and improving it since he obtained Impure World Reincarnation.
There's no need to waste time now.
The truly perfected Impure World Reincarnation is almost terrifyingly powerful. It greatly reduces the physical requirements of the Impure World Reincarnation person, while the strength of the Impure World Reincarnation person can reach the peak state of their previous life, and even retains their Impure World Reincarnation!
Most importantly, the complete version of this technique greatly enhances the caster's control. With just a simple command, even if the other person's soul is unwilling, their body will automatically execute the caster's order!
Compared to the Impure World Reincarnation, Body Modification Technique and Cell Transplantation Technique are also extremely terrifying.
After all, Shirou Emiya had previously come into contact with these biotechnologies and had even been using them as a cover to deceive Black Zetsu.
But·
The actual full version is still a bit too terrifying.
Because these two technologies can transform one's body into a terrifying human weapon, and they can obtain all common abilities through biological experiments!
For example-
The Curse Mark that Shirou Emiya had researched.
Since the power of Chakra originates from extraction within human cells, anyone whose Chakra is tainted by Shirou Emiya's Curse Mark will have their cells record Shirou Emiya's Curse Mark. This also means that Shirou Emiya can obtain their abilities by transplanting their cells.
Nature-
This also means something else.
If someone obtains Emiya Tsuchihara's Curse Mark and cells, they can acquire the abilities of others who possess Shirou Emiya's Curse Mark through Body Modification Technique and Cell Transplantation Technique technologies, and may even obtain a portion of Shirou Emiya's power.
Shirou Emiya was generous to those who followed him, leaving a Curse Mark on Yakushi Kabuto's arm.
He even greatly enhanced the Natural Energy contained within the Curse Mark.
"Is this Lord Shirou's Curse Mark?"
Yakushi Kabuto was also very knowledgeable about Curse Mark. He had personally witnessed Orochimaru implant Curse Mark on other people, but Shirou Emiya's Curse Mark was not as domineering as Orochimaru's.
"This is a kind of power."
Shirou Emiya gazed at the Curse Mark, and seemingly offered a profound explanation. "Perhaps it could also be called a key."
"Key?"
Yakushi Kabuto didn't quite understand what Shirou Emiya meant.
"You'll know how to use it once you open it."
Shirou Emiya patted Yakushi Kabuto on the shoulder and quietly changed the subject. "You stay here and slowly try to master the power of the Curse Mark. I'll go see Danzo in your place."
"Last time."
"He received so much from me—"
"I want to slowly take back what I once gave him."
Shirou Emiya reached out and rubbed his fingers, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, because a new request had appeared on his task list.
[SSS-Rank Mission: Destroy Shimura Danzo's Kotoamatsukami Mangekyo Sharingan.]
Did this Mangekyo Sharingan finally come into being in this era?
Did it ultimately fall into the hands of Shimura Danzo?
The Konoha Back Mountain.
Deep underground, a vast base was being built.
This base was once the place where Shimura Danzo established his Root.
Two months prior, on the Night of the Uchiha Clan Massacre Shimura Danzo the Uchiha to slaughter his own family, which led to his dismissal by the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi. His Root ninjas were also scattered and joined the Anbu.
Now·-·
The base was somewhat empty.
Only a few idle people remained here.
For example, some children that Shimura Danzo had secretly trained.
Although Shimura Danzo had lost his position Hokage Assistant Miyō, he had not given up hope. The Root ninjas who had joined the Anbu remained loyal to him, and he still had two bodyguards by his side to protect him.
Even though Shimura Danzo has powerful allies, people probably don't think he has a chance to make a Shimura Danzo, or even that he can cause any more trouble, since Shimura Danzo is already 64 years old this year.
Sixty-four years old.
This is an age when one should retire.
However, the old man Shimura Danzo was still active. He used his trusted men, who had been planted in the Anbu, to gather intelligence on Konoha and look for an opportunity to make a comeback.
He also took this opportunity to take a jab at his old friend Sarutobi Hiruzen.
"Obito Uchiha, the S-Rank Missing-nin who caused the Nine Tails Riot' rampage—"
Shimura Danzo sat at his desk, carefully reviewing the latest news, his face darkening. "As expected, eliminating the Uchiha Clan, who posed a threat to Konoha, by any means necessary, was the most correct decision!"
These Uchiha inherently evil!
It was not wrong of me to instigate Itachi Uchiha to massacre his clan!
It should even be considered a huge achievement for the stability of Konoha!
Konoha has experienced two Nine Tails Riot in its history, both originating from the Uchiha Clan. If another Nine Tails Riot were to occur, Konoha, once the most powerful Shinobi World, might completely decline!
It's infuriating to think about. That old Sarutobi Hiruzen, clearly witnessed the harm the Uchiha Clan posed to Konoha more than once, yet he still intended to take a mild approach towards the Uchiha Clan, even needing my help to handle such matters. Eliminating the threat of the Uchiha Clan to Konoha was also a decision left behind by Teacher Tobirama!
Has he forgotten Madara Uchiha, that dangerous and evil terrifying person?
Over the years, Shimura Danzo never forgot the times he and Sarutobi Hiruzen encountered Madara Uchiha multiple times during their youthful travels while following Shirou Emiya. Each time, he was so terrified he dared not even breathe, a humiliating experience for him. Therefore, when Tobirama Senju spoke of how the future of Konoha required preventing the reappearance of an evil figure like Madara Uchiha Clan threatening the village, Shimura Danzo took his teacher's words to heart and diligently carried them out, embodying Teacher Tobirama's will.
Sarutobi Hiruzen, that old guy, still thinks he went too far!
Neither the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, nor the two Hokage Advisor, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura, have shown any intention of restoring him to power in the past two months, leaving him confined to this dark underground base.
But.
Shimura Danzo wouldn't be idle either.
Because he also gained a lot on the night the Uchiha Clan was wiped out.
The Sharingan alone has yielded considerable benefits. These Sharingan can be used to the Uchiha Clan's forbidden technique Izanagi. The only problem lies in how to effectively utilize these Sharingan.
After all, he already has a Sharingan in his eye socket.
Shimura Danzo stroked his eye socket, which was wrapped in bandages. This Mangekyo Sharingan that he had stolen more than two years ago. It possessed a kind of Dōjutsu that could be used to modify the will of an enemy.
This Dōjutsu—
Shimura Danzo had already decided on a candidate.
If possible, Shimura Danzo hoped to use this Dōjutsu on an old acquaintance, the Ancient Era medical ninja he had met in his youth. Only by using it on that person could he maximize the benefits for him.
The power of the Ancient Era was too astonishing, and the knowledge of the Ancient Era was too tempting. Although that Ancient Era medical ninja had long since returned to the Underworld, Shimura Danzo believed that he would be resurrected sooner or later because he had tacitly allowed Orochimaru to steal the Crystal Coffin, waiting for Orochimaru to Impure World Reincarnation.
Simply having a ninja who can use any powerful technique at any time without needing to Hand Seals pledge allegiance to him.
Furthermore, the other party possesses an immortal body Impure World Reincarnation Body and extremely powerful swordsmanship, which allows them to do many things for him.
"Compared to that gentleman's medical skills"
"That gentleman's power is what Konoha should truly utilize."
Shimura Danzo couldn't help but feel worried about his own scheme; his purpose in covering for Orochimaru was...
It was all for the sake of getting Shirou Emiya.
Past tense
Shimura Danzo only wanted to take advantage of the other party's kindness.
However, this utilization is ultimately incomplete.
Because the other party is a kind-hearted medical ninja, they would definitely not be willing to help him kill people, and they would not even tell him more about the power of the Ancient Era.
Now that Shimura Danzo possesses a Mangekyo Sharingan capable of altering wills, his thoughts have become solely focused on controlling others.
Shimura Danzo planned to find an opportunity to contact Orochimaru, who had long since defected from Konoha. His first purpose was to ask Orochimaru when he could Impure World Reincarnation the great medical ninja using Orochimaru if there was any way for him to use more Sharingan.
That clever guy.
There must be a way to solve this problem.
The more Sharingan you can utilize, the more times you can use Izanagi!
After recalling that Madara Uchiha had also escaped death by relying on Izanagi, Shimura Danzo became completely obsessed with this forbidden technique of the Uchiha Clan, especially after he used Izanagi to unexpectedly defeat his enemies.
"Pity-"
"Orochimaru has also disappeared."
"This guy obtained the secret of the Curse Mark from me and took away that gentleman's Crystal Coffin without my supervision—"
Shimura Danzo looked at the Curse Mark on his arm, the power he had obtained from Shirou Emiya when he was young, which allowed him to roam freely in the Shinobi World.
However·
Insatiable greed.
It was precisely this reliability of power that made Shimura Danzo want to get more from the other party.
"Hateful."
"For the sake of so-called security"
"Orochimaru cut off all contact with me."
While regretting his rash decision to cut off contact, Shimura Danzo pondered how to reconnect with Orochimaru had long since disappeared from the Shinobi World.
Knock knock knock
There was a knock on the door.
A young ninja with orange hair walked in, knelt on one knee, and nervously reported to his superior:
"Danzo, someone has come to see you!"
"A visit—to request an audience?"
Shimura Danzo's face involuntarily furrowed.
These two words.
When did it become involved with the Root Base?
Over the years, apart from the Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi, no one who has come to the Root Base has been allowed to use this word.
"Yes."
The young ninja hesitated for a moment, then explained, "The other party claimed to be Orochimaru's contact person. He came directly to the entrance of our base, saying that he had important business to discuss and needed to see Danzo."
"Orochimaru's people!"
Shimura Danzo's eyes suddenly widened.
That's really something.
What you think about will come to pass!
"Snort-"
Shimura Danzo quickly concealed his lapse in composure, half-closing his eyes again. He recalled Orochimaru's former unruly and self-important Orochimaru, and found that this contact, who was merely demanding to see him, wasn't so rude after all.
"Such a polite guy is rare; let's bring him in."
Shimura Danzo glanced at the young man who was about to leave, and like an ordinary yet stern old man, he commanded in a deep voice, "Feng, take a few kids and guard outside the base. Don't let anyone get close to the base—"
Regardless of
Orochimaru was ultimately missing-nin of Konoha.
Shimura Danzo did not like to contact Orochimaru's people within Konoha Village, and he even avoided contact with the spies Konoha agents Orochimaru had left behind in Konoha before his defection.
"The weather outside looks nice."
During this time, Shimura Danzo did not leave the dark and damp underground base, but his mood was slightly brighter because of the arrival of this liaison.
All the troubles of this period seem to be starting to disappear at this time.
