Seeing that Shimura Danzō was already under Kotoamatsukami's control, Shin Uchiha stopped hiding in the corner and walked out at an unhurried pace.
Shimura Danzō had his back to Shin Uchiha. Hearing footsteps approaching behind him, he turned around alertly. When he saw Shin Uchiha, his eyes no longer held their former hostility and prejudice toward the Uchiha Clan. Instead, they burned with fervor, as though he had found the meaning he had spent his entire life searching for.
The moment Shimura Danzō recognized Shin Uchiha, he dropped to one knee, his right hand pressed to his chest, as though he were Shin Uchiha's subordinate. His voice was respectful, yet tinged with fervor. "Shimura Danzō pays his respects to Lord Shin. I was wrong before. Please forgive me, my lord. If you are dissatisfied with me, you need only give the order, and I will immediately take my own life beneath Hokage Rock. I will not cause you the slightest trouble."
Shimura Danzō paused, then continued, "Of course, if you are generous enough to spare my life, I will devote myself to your service until my dying breath."
From Shimura Danzō's respectful, fervent attitude, Shin Uchiha knew that even if he ordered him to take his own life right now, he would obey without hesitation.
Looking at Shimura Danzō kneeling on the floor, Shin Uchiha nodded in satisfaction. Kotoamatsukami was just that powerful. It could easily make these two men, both with entry-level Kage strength, treat his commands as their sacred duty.
When he had controlled the Third Hokage earlier, his respect for the old man had kept him from turning him into a subordinate. Instead, he had treated him as an equal. Of course, his commands were absolute. Respecting the Third Hokage did not mean giving him any room
