In the dimly lit basement, Sai was kneeling before Danzo, reporting to him what had happened at the Tenchi Bridge.
As he listened, Danzo's perpetually unchanging, zombie-like face finally broke down.
"What?! Uchiha Senga is back? And she's awakened the Mangekyo???"
Sai didn't look up, and said in a low voice,
"Yes."
"Damn it, these Uchiha are impossible to get rid of. And since Uchiha Senga then, why didn't he go back to the village?"
Sai kept his head down. He didn't know what had happened back then, so he couldn't answer Danzo.
Danzo didn't expect Sai to answer; he seemed to be talking to himself.
"This Uchiha Senga has actually awakened the Mangekyō Sharingan. Well, that makes sense; he was considered a genius among the Uchiha back in the day."
Thinking of the Mangekyō Sharingan, a greedy glint appeared in Danzo's eyes. He even understood the power of the Mangekyō Sharingan better than many members of the Uchiha Clan.
These are eyes with limitless possibilities, capable of giving birth to all sorts of incredible Dojutsu.
His right eye is now the Mangekyo transplanted from Shisui. Even without mentioning the extremely Dojutsu Kotoamatsukami, the Pupil Power contained within it alone amazed Danzo, and this is with only one Mangekyo!
Of course, if it were two Mangekyo, Danzo might not be able to control them. (Tianlai Novel Network)
He wasn't a member of the Uchiha Clan after all. If it weren't for the Hashirama Cells implanted in his body, let alone the Mangekyo, even a single Three-Tomoe Sharingan would have been enough to give him a hard time.
Just look at Kakashi to see this. His original Chakra reserves were among the best of Jonin, but after transplanting Obito Sharingan, he became a chakra-starved prince.
When I first started using Kamui, it was so powerful that it could send me straight to the hospital.
By the way, Kakashi is currently in the hospital because he used Kamui.
Danzo, then asked Sai,
Did Uchiha Senga use any Mangekyō Sharingan Dojutsu? What were the approximate effects?
"I'm sorry, I didn't see him use any Dojutsu. He just glanced at the berserk Naruto and calmed Naruto down."
"Is that so? Hmm, the Sharingan itself has a restraining effect on Tailed Beast, so it's not surprising that Uchiha Senga could do that... However, the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki was too close to him!"
In Danzo's view, if Senga were to control the Nine-Tails, it would be a disaster for Konoha that would be several times more severe than the Nine-Tails' rampage back then!
Thinking of the Nine-Tails' destructive power, Danzo's face turned extremely ugly, but Sai suddenly spoke at that moment.
"Danzo, I want to stay in Team 7."
"Um?"
Sai glanced at Sai in Danzo. In his eyes, Sai had always been a mission machine, never having any thoughts of his own except to carry out the tasks he was given. He had never made any requests like this before.
The Mangekyo beneath his bandages slowly rotated, as he tried to check if Sai was being controlled by Senga.
Sai, oblivious to Danzo's actions, continued speaking.
"Please grant my permission, Lord Danzo!"
Danzo then confirmed that Sai was not under control, so Sai's abnormal behavior could only be explained by one reason: he had ulterior motives!
Danzo's usual practice was to execute disloyal subordinates like Sai, but Sai now had other uses for him.
He looked down at Sai, who was kneeling before him, and said coldly,
"Are you trying to break away from your roots? Don't you want to live anymore?"
Sai didn't speak; in fact, he had already prepared to die before he came to see Danzo.
There's a saying on Blue Star that goes like this:
"I can endure darkness, provided I have never seen the light."
Naruto was Sai's light; he could no longer endure life in Root.
Danzo sneered and said,
"It seems you've made your choice, so you may leave now!"
Sai looked up in surprise, staring at Danzo with disbelief.
Danzo turned around and said calmly,
"I'll let you go, but you have to do one last thing for me. Has Uchiha Senga returned? As a member of Team 7, you must have a chance to get close to him. Help me find out what his Mangekyo Dojutsu is, understand?"
Upon hearing this, Sai instinctively wanted to resist, but before he could say anything, Danzo activated the Cursed Tongue Eradication Seal that he had planted on Sai.
Sai felt a wave of numbness wash over him and collapsed to the ground in agony.
Danzo then walked towards the shadows, leaving behind a sentence,
This is your last chance, think it over carefully!
On the streets of Konoha,
Senga walked in front, with Sakura and Naruto close behind him, but their expressions looked a little strange.
Naruto, carrying the still unconscious Sasuke, suddenly moved close to Senga, covered his mouth, and whispered something.
"Senga, those two old men at the gate, are they alright?"
Senga glanced at him sideways and said calmly,
"What? You want to demand an explanation from me on their behalf?"
"No, no, no, I'm just afraid that Senior Senga might go too far and cause someone to die..."
"Alright, they're fine, they just fainted."
Senga waved his hand and walked forward on his own.
Just now, when I entered Konoha, two Chunin were standing guard at Konoha entrance blocked Senga's way.
Because Senga's face was completely unfamiliar to them, and she had long, snow-white hair, she didn't look like an ordinary person at all.
Yamato hurriedly tried to step forward to explain, but it was too late.
A red light flashed in Senga's eyes, Chunin the two Konoha immediately rolled their Byakugan back and fainted on the ground.
After Chunin down the two Chunin guarding the gate, Senga stepped over them and led the way into Konoha.
Yamato was quite frightened by this scene and, to prevent things from escalating, ran to report to Tsunade.
People on the street couldn't help but sized up Senga, who was leading the group, and some nosy individuals had already started gossiping.
"Look at that person, the pattern on his back looks so familiar!"
"Are you stupid?! Isn't that the Uchiha Clan crest?!"
"Uchiha? Weren't they wiped out? And where did Sasuke Uchiha go?!"
"Who knows? But their clan crest wouldn't be used as a decoration, so maybe that person really is from the Uchiha Clan."
Several young female ninjas have already become infatuated with him.
"He must be from the Uchiha! Look at his face! He's so handsome!"
"Yeah, yeah! I saw Sasuke at school when I was little. He was already very handsome, but that person was much more handsome than Sasuke!"
"Wait, isn't that Naruto? Who's that person he's carrying? I think it looks like Sasuke..."
