Dan Katō Did It Too

Shadow clones could sense the original body, but the original only learned what a shadow clone had done after it dispersed. Those memories and fatigue would return to the original along with the shadow clone's Chakra.

So Qingcheng had no idea that the shadow clone he had left behind in Konoha had already gone completely berserk.

That shadow clone had pushed Danzo to his limits, brutally pounding him and stomping him beneath its feet in full view of everyone.

Shimura Danzō's dreams had now been shattered. His dream of becoming Hokage had completely collapsed, and he had become a rat everyone wanted to beat.

Meanwhile, Qingcheng was still at an inn in the Land of Hot Water. Just as he was preparing to leave, Tsunade yanked him back, leaving him on the verge of tears.

Tsunade's eyes were bloodshot. One hand gripped his throat as she glared down at Qingcheng in fury and roared, "You did all this! You actually used genjutsu to deceive my eyes and impersonated Dan Katō!"

Tsunade cursed again, "Unforgivable! You bastard, go die!"

With that, Tsunade exerted force. Her left fist crackled as she prepared to punch Qingcheng in the face.

Qingcheng looked at the enraged Tsunade. Her right hand clamped around his throat like a pair of pliers, lifting him into the air as easily as a chick.

Seeing Tsunade preparing to finish him with a single Chakra Enhanced Strength punch, Qingcheng said in terror, "It really wasn't me! It wasn't—Dan Katō did it too! Listen to my explanation!"

Tsunade grabbed Qingcheng's right hand and said angrily, "Still trying to escape with the Substitution Technique? The last bastard who tried to do that to me was beaten to death with one punch. Tell me, how do you want to die?"

Qingcheng's face twisted in pain. Tsunade's grip around his throat made it hard for him to breathe, and he said in panic, "I can compensate you with money, or I can compensate you with my youth."

Qingcheng added fearfully, "Please don't beat me to death. Otherwise, there'll be one less person in this world who loves you."

Tsunade watched as Qingcheng's eyes began to roll back, but then she remembered how this guy had taken advantage of her fear of blood to carry her away. He had even taken out a laxative and used genjutsu to impersonate Dan.

Tsunade cursed furiously, "What you did to me is unforgivable. I will never let you off for the rest of my life!"

Qingcheng saw Tsunade's fist coming straight for his forehead. He knew that if the punch landed, he would definitely die here. He absolutely could not just sit and wait for death.

Qingcheng immediately activated his Mangekyō Sharingan. His scarlet eyes spun, and a yellow Susanoo skeleton enveloped him.

Tsunade's Chakra Enhanced Strength fist slammed down, striking the Susanoo skeleton. With a thunderous boom, the skeleton shattered under the blow, and Qingcheng was sent flying along with it.

The inn's wall was smashed apart by the Susanoo skeleton. Qingcheng crashed onto the street, while the skeletal frame broke into fragments.

Qingcheng immediately climbed to his feet and said with lingering fear, "Damn, even my Susanoo got shattered. I got hit by Rozan Super Strength."

Tsunade leaped down from the third floor and landed directly in front of Qingcheng. The Strength of a Hundred Seal on her forehead had already been released.

Tsunade glared at Qingcheng viciously, her eyes filled with killing intent, and said angrily, "You bastard, you even activated the Mangekyō Sharingan. Is this your confidence?"

Qingcheng immediately shook his head and said seriously, "Dan Katō did it too. Besides, you were the one coveting my money first. You called me an Evil Uchiha, so I'll show you just how evil I can be."

Looking at the silver-tongued Qingcheng, Tsunade shouted angrily, "Only killing you will soothe the hatred in my heart!"

Seeing Tsunade preparing to attack again, Qingcheng said, "Stop first. I already told you, Dan Katō did it too. Think back carefully."

Qingcheng added resentfully, "You just said you couldn't leave me, and now you want to kill me. Why are you so fickle?"

Tsunade froze for a moment and said sternly, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever say that?"

Qingcheng said with a straight face, "I asked you. I said, if I wasn't Dan, would you still like me? You said it yourself—as long as I was like Dan, it was enough."

Qingcheng emphasized, "That's why I released the genjutsu for a moment, so you could see an Uchiha Clan member who was just like Dan. If you don't like it, we can go our separate ways from now on, and everything that happened before will be written off."

Tsunade instantly understood. Her face showed anger, resentment, disgust, and a trace of relief. Then she roared, "Get the hell out! Don't ever appear in front of me again!"

Qingcheng tossed down a Storage Scroll and said, "This is all for you. After all, we live under the same blue sky and breathe the same air. I think it'll be hard for me to ever love another woman again."

Over the past three days, Qingcheng had not merely been farming the system. He had used a memory genjutsu to combine scenes of Dan with scenes of himself, directly implanting them into Tsunade's mind. I am the younger version of Dan Katō.

As for whether he would end up living in Dan's shadow, Qingcheng said, "As long as I can obtain the Sage Body, I don't care who I become. Even if I become Jiraiya, that's fine."

Watching Qingcheng leave, Tsunade felt her heart tighten. Then she seemed to remember something and called out, "What's your name, anyway? I still don't know it."

Qingcheng waved his hand and said seriously, "Evil Uchiha brat. You can also keep calling me Dan."

Qingcheng added, "Or you can call me Chisel. Anyway, whatever you like."

Watching Qingcheng leave, Tsunade clenched her fists again and said furiously, "I actually formed a bond with that pervert. Why didn't I just punch him to death?"

Then Tsunade said, "But he looks exactly like Dan. He's just too handsome. I couldn't bring myself to do it."

Then Tsunade noticed the Storage Scroll on the ground and instantly realized something. Smiling brightly, she said, "Is this all money? That evil brat still has a bit of conscience."

This money had been won by Qingcheng at the casino, amounting to a little over three hundred million. Some of it had also been stolen from the Shimura Clan, for a total of 2.3 billion. It was enough for this Big Fat Sheep to gamble for a long time.

Tsunade opened the Storage Scroll and saw the huge pile of money inside. Her face immediately lit up as she said with a smile, "If I'd known there was this much money, playing along with him wouldn't have been impossible. After all, he is as handsome as Dan."

Then Tsunade came to her senses and said angrily, "That bastard doesn't know what he ate growing up. He doesn't know how to rest at all, and he even used a laxative on me. If I see him again, I'll definitely punch him to death!"

Back in Konoha, inside the Hokage's Office, Danzo had already been surrounded by ANBU ninja. Even with his Sharingan, facing so many ANBU ninja at once left him utterly uncertain. He did not dare use the Sharingan at all and could only watch helplessly as the Third Hokage tried to make the Third Hokage change his mind and continue opposing the Uchiha Clan.
