Chapter: Impure World Reincarnation

Hiruzen Sarutobi fierce. He realized that he had been too lenient with these old friends in the past, and if he let them continue like this, the Village would be corrupted sooner or later.

War compensation payments haven't been fully distributed yet, where did all that money go!?

"In short, you are no longer advisors. Your other positions will be retained for the time being, but you have no right to interfere in important Village decisions from now on!"

Sarutobi's words were like flames, causing Koharu, whose face was puffed up like Balloon, to explode.

She rushed out of the room, and seeing Koharu leave, Yan didn't dare to linger.

They were afraid that Hiruzen became unhappy again, he would remove him from his remaining positions.

"Ughhhhh! I'm so angry!"

Leaving the Hokage Office Building, Utatane Koharu clenched her fists tightly and began to roar.

Seeing his old classmate upset, Yan instinctively wanted to comfort her, "Koharu, don't be sad, I..."

"Get out of my way! Danzo is dead, and I've been sidelined by Hiruzen ever since. You just stood there like an idiot when Hiruzen berserk. I think you're a useless piece of trash too!"

Koharu pointed at Yan's nose and cursed.

Mitokado Homura: "..."

◇

Hidden deep in a remote, uninhabited mountain is a spacious cave that outsiders would never discover.

A Root Ninja Earth Flow cautiously among them, glancing left and right, ready to guard against any potential enemies.

The bats could hear the dripping sound of water nearby; sensing someone was in their vicinity, they all flew away in a flurry.

"Things should be fine now..."

The Root Ninja wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and gasped for breath.

He was holding something wrapped in bandages in his arms.

Carefully unwrapping it layer by layer, what was revealed was an arm that had already turned white.

Danzo entrusted him with this arm and placed a great responsibility on him; he could not possibly fail in his trust.

The next step is to find a suitable offering. Once the offering is ready, I can proceed to the next step—to perform the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu taught to me by Lord Danzo.

Danzo repeatedly emphasized that a powerful Ninja must be found as a sacrifice, otherwise the quality of the Impure World Reincarnation would be greatly reduced. However, capturing Ninja of this caliber alive is no easy task.

Let's rest here for a while. His Compatriots will arrive soon after they hear the news.

Then they gathered their men and went out to try their luck, hoping to encounter a skilled but isolated Rogue Ninja.

If all else fails, I'm willing to sacrifice my own body!

Just as he was thinking this, a heart-wrenching pain shot through his Lower Body!

The Root Ninja's eyes immediately rolled back, and then a sharp wooden splinter violently pierced through his mouth.

"Sorry, sorry, I went a little too hard. Hey~ are you still alive?"

As a slightly comical voice rang out, a figure dressed entirely in white and completely naked gradually emerged from the cave floor.

Accompanying him was Black Zetsu, who had been lurking there all along.

"It actually hit a vital spot right away, it looks really painful..."

White Zetsu crouched down to examine the Root Ninja's buttocks, then revealed a pained expression.

"Seriously, can you even poop like this?"

White Zetsu said this while poking the Root Ninja's buttocks with a branch.

"Keep quiet."

Black Zetsu said in a gloomy tone, and White Zetsu immediately made a gesture of sewing his mouth shut.

He crouched down, picked up the arm that had rolled to the ground, examined it carefully, and said, "So that's it. He sacrificed the arm to preserve the DNA, so his purpose was to perform the Impure World Reincarnation?"

"You've thought of everything quite thoroughly, but even if this technique, with its extremely low degree of completion, succeeds, how much of your sanity will you retain?" Black Zetsu scoffed. "Feel honored. I will now grant you a new life with my improved technique."

The initial version of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu was too crude. After obtaining the technique, Black Zetsu studied it for a period of time and made some improvements.

The optimized technique greatly enhances the preservation of one's pre-death strength, accelerates the recovery speed after being maimed by a hit, and strengthens the control over the deceased, preventing them from easily breaking free.

His original intention was to use this technique to resurrect Hashirama Senju Impure World Reincarnation, thereby controlling him and taking control of the Shinobi World.

However, he discovered that this technique was quite dangerous; if the original owner was too powerful, there was still a risk of being able to break free if he wasn't careful.

He had no choice but to give up, but the technique was preserved.

Black Zetsu's hand transformed into the shape of a blade, severing Danzo's index finger, and dark red blood slowly flowed down the severed area.

"To prevent any mishaps that would render it unusable, let's cut off the amount from one finger the first time."

Although Danzo wasn't very strong, he was quite intelligent, at least much smarter than the White Zetsu beside him.

The pressure from Ryuuzaki Eiji was too intense. He had been hoping to win him over, but now it seemed he was just asking for trouble.

What angered Black Zetsu the most was that this brat actually spread rumors about her mother.

What "The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter"? What "Five Riddles"? How could Mother possibly do such a pointless thing!

Although it's highly likely to be a case of the same name, it's still unforgivable!

How could her own mother, so noble, possibly do such a thing with a lowly human?

Even just for this incident, he has to retaliate!

"Seriously, what am I supposed to do here? I've been buried in the ground for who knows how many years!"

White Zetsu picked his nose, puzzled.

"Next, I will perform a modified version of the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu, so you will need to become a sacrifice for Impure World Reincarnation."

Black Zetsu didn't even glance at White Zetsu, easily telling him to die.

"Huh? You're leaving right after entering the stage? Well, I don't care what happens to me."

White Zetsu shrugged.

For someone like him, life and death are meaningless.

He would seek out fun whenever he could, and he would carry out orders without complaint, even if it meant being a sacrifice.

◇

Tick-tock, tick-tock--

The sound of dripping water reached my ears, and the wind whistled past them, making it sound like I was inside a cave.

Where am I...?

Darkness, all I could see was darkness.

Then, light gradually appeared, and Shimura Danzō opened his eyes.

Before me lay a cave, dark and damp, with rats scurrying swiftly past my feet.

"This old man is..."

Danzo looked at his hands, tried to clench them tightly and then loosen them.

The feeling of being completely unaware was incredibly strange.

This should mean that the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu was successfully executed.

He made the difficult decision to cut off his own arm and have his most loyal subordinate carry it out of the Village, all in order to preserve a last glimmer of hope for performing the Impure World Reincarnation Jutsu.

If he were lucky enough to escape the Village, he wouldn't need this method, but in the end, he had no choice but to use the Reverse Four Symbols Seal to end his life.

When Danzo obtained this technique from the Scroll of Seals left behind by Teacher Tobirama, he tried to experiment with it to see how effective it was.

However, the result was not as expected. Although the person pulled back to the World of the Living looked exactly like the original, their memories were incomplete and their strength was greatly reduced. They could only become the puppet of the caster.

How could this be allowed? What he wanted was a true technique that would grant immortality. If someone were resurrected in this way, not only would their freedom be restricted, but they would also struggle to maintain their sense of self.

Danzo was not giving up; he needed more experimental samples.

Because the strength of those Impure World Reincarnation technique is closely related to the people who were sacrificed, he once used the excuse of a shortage of Root members to plunder a large number of strong Ninja from the Village, with the aim of making them sacrifices for the Impure World Reincarnation.

Even his own Clan Members were not spared; many promising Ninja became victims of his experiments.

However, he was still not satisfied with the experimental results. After conducting hundreds of experiments, he had no choice but to stop the Impure World Reincarnation experiment, since continuing it would risk being discovered.

But what exactly happened?

With this inexhaustible Chakra and crystal-clear consciousness, he not only wasn't weaker than before, but felt even stronger?

Wonderful, this feeling is absolutely wonderful!

Only now did Danzo realize just how powerful the Impure World Reincarnation body truly was!

Chakra is inexhaustible, and the body cannot be completely destroyed.

It's equivalent to him possessing Limitless Chakra and an invincible body!

And even the lost arm has reappeared, which is truly astonishing.

Although he had only sent his subordinate away with his arm on a whim, he never expected that Teacher Tobirama's technique would be so surprisingly effective on him.

Could it be that I'm the chosen one, and this is why I've turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise?

Next, the subordinates will commit suicide. According to Teacher Tobirama's notes on the Ninjutsu scroll, the technique will not be interrupted even if the caster dies.

You didn't expect that, did you?! I, Shimura Danzō, am back!!!
