A world of only winners, a world of only peace, a world of only love!

I want to create exactly such a world!

"For that, I have returned!"

Looking at the deathly silent youth before him, the old man revealed a smile, and then his pupils bloomed with a scarlet radiance.

"From this moment on, you are the savior."

When Guo Wang opened his eyes on the tatami mat, he felt as if his entire essence, energy, and spirit had been hollowed out.

It is just like the dregs left behind after dual cultivation with those women in the Huanxi Pavilion.

A violent headache forced the middle-aged man with black hair to press his left hand against his temple.

Following his awakening, over a dozen dark and obscure auras emerged outside the door, each detected one by one by his keen sensory abilities.

Lifting the bandage covering the upper right half of his face, a very strange visual pattern emerged in his mind.

"Is this right eye the Sharingan?"

Having just awakened from a long slumber, Guo Wang muttered to himself after checking the memories of the person he had possessed.

However, he soon discovered another speechless situation.

Although only one bed was laid out on the tatami, he was not the only one there. A purple-haired girl with a snow-white, jade-like body lay curled in a corner, fast asleep due to immense physical and mental trauma.

This guy, his character is truly despicable.

Guo Wang, a rare cultivator who had condensed a Primordial Spirit among the heterodox sects, had unfortunately perished during a great catastrophe that engulfed the entire Dao Realm, only to arrive in this world because of a Five-Colored Stone he wore.

He did not know how this fellow named Danzo had such good luck; having picked up this Five-Colored Stone in a river during his youth and discovering it could help him refine Chakra, he had kept it close to his person ever since.

Originally, Guo Wang could have restored enough Primordial Spirit power to completely devour the host's consciousness over a decade ago. But in the dark, he had felt a pair of terrifying eyes watching this world, and those eyes involved the cycle of life and death. Had he performed the possession technique then, he likely would have been discovered as an outsider, so he had remained hidden until now.

He did not know what had happened to the owner of those terrifying eyes, but in the last few days, the gaze had suddenly been withdrawn.

After confirming it repeatedly, Guo Wang, who had been bound within the Five-Colored Stone for decades, stopped waiting and immediately executed the God-Devouring Technique, replacing the existence known as Danzo.

He only had time to briefly skim through the memories of the body he had possessed when a rustling sound, like insects crawling, rang out from outside the door.

"Lord Danzo, the time is almost upon us."

A man wearing a white hooded windbreaker and an animal mask knelt on one knee before Guo Wang, his tone respectful.

"En, let Gui enter. The others go and prepare."

Imitating Danzo's usual tone, Guo Wang rose, his gaze cold and his expression indifferent.

The dialogue between the two awakened the sleeping purple-haired girl. She frowned and slowly opened her red, swollen, beautiful eyes, only to be startled to find a pair of exceptionally dark and deep pupils quietly watching her from the bedside. She struggled to retreat, but felt a chill over her body, recalling the painful scenes from before she lost consciousness.

"Danzo!"

The two words, filled with fury, spilled from the lips of the girl whose jade face was still youthful, and Guo Wang could not help but feel a headache coming on.

From the memories, he knew that during this time, Danzo had been frequently active on the border between the Land of Earth and the Land of Fire for the sake of his ambitions. He led Root to impersonate people from both sides to hunt down ninjas, but unexpectedly attracted a peace organization from the Land of Rain.

This organization was naturally not held in high regard by the Darkness of the Shinobi, and he had intended to wipe out these self-important idealists in a few strokes, but a pair of mythical eyes had stopped the famous Root of the Shinobi World!

The Rinnegan!

To investigate whether this pair of eyes truly possessed the power to control life and death, Danzo had personally gone to speak with Hanzo, tricking the latter into wiping out the organization where the Rinnegan resided.

The reputation of the Sage of Six Paths was simply too resounding. To ensure the plan's success, he had captured this purple-haired woman, who clearly held a very important place in the heart of the Rinnegan's owner. Danzo had been single his whole life and usually had many partners in the village, but having been campaigning outside for some time, he had been pent up for too long. Coupled with the girl's clear and lovely appearance, the unspeakable had happened.

Doing such things was draining, especially for a man nearing old age.

This bout of exertion was more tiring than a real life-or-death battle. It also made Guo Wang's possession much smoother, as he felt almost no strong resistance from the host.

"What is your name?"

Hearing the question from the demon before her, the girl gripped the edge of the quilt to cover her body, her hands tightening. Chakra surged and refined within her, and the paper flower used as an ornament on her purple hair suddenly bloomed, transforming into Shuriken that pierced into various parts of Danzo's body with sharp, piercing sounds.

"Lord Danzo?"

Just then, a female Anbu in a dark silver vest and black inner lining pants, highlighting her exquisite figure, entered the room and saw this scene, her tone shocked.

"Do not worry, I was merely testing the power of the right eye."

In Danzo's memories, he knew this was one of the most powerful forces in Konoha, and indeed the entire Shinobi World.

They called this power... Kekkei Genkai!

A decent term.

"From One Tomoe to Three Tomoe, and finally the Mangekyo, it can actually turn the truest desires deep within the heart into reality. This power has already touched the 'rules of the world' and is a part of the Dao."

Guo Wang slowly opened his right eye, which had been closed all along. A blood-red pupil with three black tomoe arranged equally appeared, and then the power of his Primordial Spirit transformed into wisps of cold spiritual energy. Carrying the various negative emotions he had experienced while overcoming his Inner Demon, it descended from his Sea of Consciousness and merged into the eyeball.

Then, the three black tomoe rotated continuously, and after a blur, they transformed into a strange pattern.

Mangekyo!

"Ugh!"

Before the purple-haired girl could even rejoice, her line of sight met the Sharingan. Accompanied by a soft moan, the pattern of the Mangekyo appeared in her own eyes as well, but it vanished in a flash, turning back into pitch-black pupils.

"Are you awake? Let us go. Go and accept the judgment that belongs to you."

Konan had not yet reacted before her hands were bound by the female Anbu wearing a fox mask, and she was pressed to step out of the room.

What is going on? I seem to have lost a period of memory!
