Danzo Cried

Naruto lowered his head to look at the Mangekyō Sharingan in his hand.

This was Shisui's eye.

When Naruto launched his sneak attack, his primary goal had been to seize Shisui's eye.

He had acted, and he had succeeded.

Danzo had never imagined that a brat like Naruto would actually sneak attack him.

And that Naruto even knew to target his eye.

Naruto looked around, then said helplessly, "There's no nutrient solution or container here. This eye is going to be ruined."

If he put it in himself, his original eye would be ruined.

If he temporarily put it in someone else, he feared they might use Kotoamatsukami on him.

What a hot potato.

Naruto hesitated slightly, then increased the strength in his hand.

Danzo reached out to stop him. "Brat! Do you know what you're destroying?!"

"Let me think..."

Naruto frowned as he perfunctorily responded to Danzo, but his hand did not slow in the slightest.

The Mangekyō Sharingan capable of using Kotoamatsukami, the strongest Genjutsu.

It had already shattered.

"Seems like it was something important."

From the sound of his words, he seemed a little uncertain himself.

Yet there was not a trace of doubt on Naruto's face.

When Danzo saw Shisui's Mangekyō shatter, his entire demeanor turned even colder.

As though Shisui's eye had belonged to him from the start.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi hesitate at the side and delay taking action, Danzo's fury rose even further.

He secretly made a hand signal, intending to have his subordinates come assist him.

But no matter what Danzo did, those obedient, loyal subordinates of his never appeared.

Danzo's brows furrowed tightly, and he sensed that something was wrong.

Suddenly, Naruto kindly reminded Danzo, "Watch your back!"

Danzo was slightly startled and turned to look behind him.

He saw Naruto's Shadow Clone gripping a ninja blade and thrusting it toward him.

Danzo instinctively tried to dodge, but then he realized.

Naruto had warned him!

Which meant...

Danzo pulled out a kunai and raised his hand to stab at the ceiling.

But it was already too late!

The Shadow Clone above deftly circled around Danzo's attack.

The kunai sliced across Danzo's arm, instantly severing the bandage-wrapped limb.

And the one behind Danzo was not a Shadow Clone at all, merely a Clone Technique.

After dodging Danzo's attack and cutting off his arm, the Shadow Clone tossed it to the original.

Danzo stared at Naruto with a twisted expression. "When?"

Naruto said bashfully, "When I heard you wanted to harm me and came back. I didn't expect you not to notice even that. It honestly surprised me."

Combat experience was simply too useful.

And his profession was a ninja.

He could freely pull out every dirty trick imaginable.

As a result, Danzo had suffered at the hands of this brat who looked young but possessed decades of combat experience.

As for Danzo's Root ninjas.

Naruto had already used Shadow Clones to clean them up before returning.

That was why, when Danzo had called for help just now, no one had answered and nothing had come to his aid.

Hearing Naruto's explanation, Danzo felt a chill crawl down his spine.

This guy...

So cunning, so despicable!

Especially since no one could tell from his appearance.

That was truly terrifying!

Danzo roared at Hiruzen Sarutobi, "Hiruzen Sarutobi!!! What exactly are you waiting for?!"

"Hah..." Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed and rose from his seat.

Naruto immediately put on a smile and raised both hands in a French military salute. "Sorry, Lord Hokage. It seems I made a mistake."

"But it was because he wanted to control me. I hope Lord Hokage can distinguish right from wrong."

Polite, yet ruthless!

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Naruto.

His hands were stained with blood, his foot was stepping on an arm, yet his smile was more soothing than anyone else's.

"Naruto, you've vented your anger now, haven't you?" Hiruzen Sarutobi asked.

Naruto knew that if he truly insisted on killing Danzo.

It was uncertain whose side Hiruzen Sarutobi would take.

Naruto was not afraid of completely leaving Konoha.

But there were people he cherished in Konoha.

So it was not the time to tear things apart.

Naruto crushed Danzo's arm beneath his foot, then obediently nodded. "I'm done, Lord Hokage."

Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke to Naruto with a solemn expression. "Naruto, I know the village has wronged you, but I also know you're a good child. I hope you won't take today's events to heart. From now on, no one in Konoha will want to harm you again."

"I dare guarantee it with everything I have."

"Thank you, Grandpa Hokage." Naruto spoke very politely. "Then I can live in Konoha without worry."

The two reached an agreement in just a few words.

Hiruzen Sarutobi would restrain Konoha's other higher-ups and prevent them from interfering with Naruto's life.

And Naruto could not be bothered to move to a new environment. If there were no more aggravating matters like this, he could continue staying in Konoha.

Seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi forgive Naruto so easily, Danzo was instantly enraged. "Hiruzen Sarutobi, are you just going to let the loss of my eye and arm go like this?"

"Wait, wait, wait!!" Naruto hurriedly stopped him, then said to Danzo in surprise, "Sir, what are you talking about?"

"Didn't I only destroy things that were already ruined?"

"That eye of yours couldn't see in the first place, and that arm of yours couldn't be used in the first place."

"I didn't destroy your normal eye or arm!"

"I merely helped you remove some excess dead flesh. You even saved on the surgery fee..."

"Huh? Surgery fee? Now that you mention it, you owe me money!"

Danzo: "?????"

At this moment, Danzo felt as miserable as if he had swallowed shit.

He had been careless. First, he had not expected Naruto to suddenly strike, resulting in his eye being gouged out.

Then Naruto had deceived him, leaving him no time to use Izanagi.

Now, he had lost Shisui's Mangekyō, and with it, Kotoamatsukami.

He had lost his Sharingan arm, and with it, many extra lives.

Most of the Hashirama Cells had even been in that arm.

He could no longer use Wood Release!

And he would face the risk of backlash afterward.

But what could he do?

He could not say anything!

Because Naruto was right.

To the outside world, Danzo's image was that he had one ruined arm and one ruined eye.

Now that Naruto had destroyed that arm and eye.

To outsiders, it looked like Naruto had merely helped Danzo clean away dead flesh.

Now Naruto had crushed the Mangekyō and stomped the Sharingan to pieces.

If Danzo did not want his experiments exposed, he had no choice but to swallow this grievance in silence.

Danzo was so furious that his head spun.

For all these years, he had always been the one taking advantage of others.

He had never imagined that today, someone would take advantage of him, and he could only suffer in silence.

Danzo trembled with rage.

Seeing this, Naruto hurriedly comforted him. "Sir, don't be so angry~"

"Isn't it just one useless arm and one useless eye?"

"They're gone, so they're gone. At worst, get yourself a prosthetic. They were useless to begin with, right?"

Seeing Naruto mock him with such glee, Danzo nearly ground his teeth to pieces.

Because he could not reveal the truth!

This stifling feeling caused Danzo immense pain.

All these years.

He had never seen someone so shameless!

When Danzo did not answer, Naruto immediately became unhappy. "Sir, say something. Were they useless, or were they not? Was it a useless arm? A useless eye?"

"Hiss~ Could it be that your arm and eye have some secre—"

"Yes!" Danzo hurriedly spoke. With a twisted expression and a sobbing tone, he said, "They were a useless arm and a useless eye."

Naruto nodded slightly. "Mm, that's more like it."

"Then I won't disturb you any longer. I'm leaving now~"
