The Danzo Who Was Left Utterly Bewildered by White Zetsu

"Who would flatter you! Since no one in the village believed me when I came back this time, I had no choice but to come to you. You know my child was born and I don't want to leave Konoha, so I'd like to stay here for a few years and find a reasonable place for me to stay. That shouldn't be a problem, right?" Tianqi said slowly.

Danzo's lips twitched upon hearing this. "You make it sound so easy, saying you'll stay for several more years? You really think this is your own home? This shameless guy is definitely Uchiha Tianqi, no doubt about it." "Hmph! You make it sound so simple. What good will it do me to do this?"

"What benefits? Haven't we been cooperating all along?" Tianqi glanced at Danzo's speechless expression. It wouldn't be right not to offer some benefits since he had come to Danzo for refuge. Tianqi touched his nose sheepishly and said, "Ahem, well, I'm not going to eat and drink for free. You can give me any difficult tasks as a way of repaying your kindness in taking me in."

"Can you really do it with your current strength?" Danzo looked at Tianqi with suspicion. He believed that Tianqi had the ability if it were the old Tianqi, but this person was not the real Tianqi after all, and Danzo was very skeptical about his abilities.

"I can do it even without the word 'ma'. Don't think that just because I changed bodies, my strength has increased by one-tenth. If we really fight, you might not be my match now!" As he spoke, the Three-Tomoe Sharingan appeared in Tianqi's eyes.

Danzo nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the Three-Tomoe in Tianqi's eyes. Having Three-Tomoe Sharingan meant his strength was at least Jonin level. Having a Jonin to assist him was a good deal. "Well, in that case, you can stay at Root. Oh, by the way, you're not very strong right now, should I arrange some teammates for you?"

"Who do you think you are! You can keep your trashy subordinates. No matter how weak I am, I'm still stronger than yours. Besides, I didn't come back alone this time!" Tianqi retorted angrily when Danzo said he wasn't strong enough and offered to assign him teammates.

"Oh? You mean those white guys came too? Bring them here so I can see them!" Danzo was intrigued by the bonus item. The intelligence report did indeed say that Tianqi was with a group of white people; he had almost forgotten about it—what a careless mistake!

"They're right here, White Zetsu, come out!" With Tianqi's command, eight White Zetsu emerged from the ground.

"These are your white subordinates? They don't look like much, their strength varies!" Danzo looked around White Zetsu and found nothing special. He looked at Tianqi speechlessly.

"Heh, not so great? Danzo, you're so short-sighted. They were hiding right next to you for half a day and you didn't even notice. How dare you say they're not so great?" Tianqi looked at Danzo with disdain. It had only been a few years since they last met, and he really didn't know where this guy got his confidence from.

"You mean they've been here the whole time? That can't be right?" Danzo had always thought these white men were hiding outside and had just used Earth Release is a technique for escaping obstacles) to get in. He never expected Tianqi to say that they had been here the whole time and that he hadn't even noticed their presence. If that were true, then these guys' hiding skills were truly amazing.

"Tch, what else did you expect? And their abilities are far more than that. Let's transform into his likeness and show him!" Tianqi Danzo his eyes at Danzo and pointed at him, ordering White Zetsu.

When Tianqi asked them to transform into the likeness of Shimura Danzō, the White Zetsu did not hesitate and immediately all transformed into Danzo's appearance, instantly creating eight identical Shimura Danzō in the office.

"Heh, it's just a mere transformation technique, nothing to brag about!" Danzo looked at the eight versions of himself appear Danzo disdain. Even kids at the Ninja Academy know this kind of transformation technique; it's really nothing special.

"Is that so? Take a closer look!" Tianqi said, giving White Zetsu a look. White Zetsu immediately understood what Tianqi meant and began Hand Seals.

"Wind Release: Vacuum Sphere!" White Zetsu spat out a wind ball that instantly shattered a nearby stool.

Danzo's eyes widened, not from surprise at the power of the Ninjutsu, but from the fact that this guy could actually use his Ninjutsu. Moreover, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the Chakra of the person before him was exactly the same as his own. If he weren't the real Shimura Danzō, he would have doubted whether he was an imposter or if these people were the real Danzo. "This... this...!"

"Hehe, don't be too surprised. Come on, White Zetsu, transform into Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen and show him!" Seeing Danzo's shocked expression, Tianqi smiled and had the White Zetsu transform again.

Upon hearing this, the group of White Zetsu transformed once more, becoming the likeness of Sarutobi Hiruzen. Instantly, the eight Shimura Danzō in the arena became eight Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"Hi! Hi! Hiruzen! How is this possible!" Danzo's eyes nearly popped out of his head as he stared at the eight Sarutobi Hiruzen Danzo before him. These people were exactly like the Hokage Sarutobi Hiruzen, even their Chakra was the same. It was outrageous, absolutely outrageous!

This series of actions completely baffled Danzo. Looking at Tianqi, he began to doubt again. If someone could mimic Chakra so perfectly, could this Tianqi also be a fake? But that didn't make sense either; this Tianqi's eyes and mannerisms were exactly the same as Tianqi's. What the hell was going on?

"Alright, stop being so suspicious. You don't need to doubt that I am Uchiha Tianqi. Hurry up and arrange a place for me to stay!" Tianqi could tell that Danzo was confused, so before he could speak, Tianqi confirmed his identity again.

After a moment of hesitation, Danzo decided to trust his initial feeling; this person was indeed Uchiha Tianqi. He immediately humbled himself and approached Tianqi with a fawning expression, asking, "Tianqi, why didn't you say you had such a subordinate sooner? Tell me quickly, where did you find such talent? I'd like to recruit a few myself!"

"You still want to recruit a few more? You're dreaming! These people were all created by me, and the materials used to create them are no longer available in the entire Shinobi World. So stop thinking about them!" To dissuade Shimura Danzō his plans, Tianqi directly stated that the White Zetsu were his creations and could not be replicated.

"I see!" Danzo was initially excited when Tianqi said that these white people were his Danzo. He thought that if he could create a large number of these white people to conquer the Shinobi World, he would have a chance to Shinobi World it. However, Tianqi's next sentence, "There is no more creation in the Shinobi World," brought him down from his high position. It was all for nothing. Nevertheless, Danzo still asked, "You wouldn't be saying you have the materials just because you don't want to tell me, would you?"

"Lying to you? You're overthinking it. If I could create a large number of these creatures, I would have gone somewhere else to be a mountain king long ago. Why would I be hiding here with you?" Tianqi lied without batting an eye. He could create the White Zetsu with the Ten-Tails in its original form, but he didn't need to use White Zetsu to fight on the battlefield, so creating them was completely unnecessary. Besides, even if he wanted to create the original form, he had no way of putting it into a deep sleep, so it couldn't be a lie.
