Inside the spacious and secluded laboratory, Uchiha Sasuke closely behind Huayue, his gaze occasionally sweeping over the strange and unusual animals and plants on both sides of the road.
"You should know very well that the Sharingan relies on the emotion of love. When in extreme sadness, it releases a special kind of chakra through the brain nerves, thereby achieving the effect of opening the eye."
" One-Tomoe, two Tomoe. Three Tomoe, Mangekyō. Aside from the extreme sadness I felt when I first opened the Sharingan, the Mangekyō Sharingan is the second major hurdle."
Unbeknownst to them, the two had arrived at a secluded operating room. The countless strange instruments they had never heard of or seen before made Sasuke feel uneasy.
However, this unease was quickly dispelled by a strong desire for revenge.
"What's the meaning?"
"Your brother, Uchiha Itachi, told you that the method was to kill your closest friend, didn't he?"
With a gentle yet indifferent smile, Sasuke nodded slightly in acknowledgment.
"That's right. He wants me to kill my friend with my own hands, just like what he did to Uchiha Shisui. I don't want to kill Naruto, and I don't want to use the methods he taught me, so I came to you."
"You must have a way, right?"
Uchiha Sasuke's burning gaze, filled with intense longing, fixed intently on Huayue's back. His eyes, yearning for power, stirred a deep emotion within Huayue.
"That's right. Haven't you already experienced that method twice? It fills humans with negative emotions, spiritual particles formed from extreme sadness, sadness."
"Only intense grief can put the Uchiha Clan's brain into a special state, releasing chakra that changes their eyes, thus completing the transformation of their eyes."
The sophisticated and complex instruments in front of them gradually started up, with countless azure lights flashing and arcs of electricity. Huayue gestured with her eyes, and Sasuke lay down inside the instruments without hesitation.
"Before we begin, I must remind you that sadness and anger alone cannot guarantee the activation of the Mangekyō, combining that sadness with the hatred in your heart."
"I can only give you a chance to unlock the Mangekyō, because I didn't unlock Mangekyō this way, so the success rate is not guaranteed. Good luck."
The instrument slowly descended, and something resembling a spherical barrier slowly rose into the air, like a space-time independent of the world. One after another, illusions formed by negative emotions gradually transformed into reality.
Outside the secret laboratory, Huayue turned around and smiled, her expression enigmatic.
"This child is so easy to understand; perhaps he can surprise me..."
The footsteps approached from afar, and a figure shrouded in black robes walked up to them, nodding slightly.
" Danzo is preparing to take action. He has already taken two elite members of the Anbu to the Land of Iron to participate in the Five Kage Summit."
With a smile that grew even wider, Huayue nodded in satisfaction.
"Let this old man witness the end of being abandoned by everyone at the height of his glory. Are you satisfied with this outcome?"
The figure under the hood remained silent for a long time, his eyes gradually turning red, before nodding heavily.
Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Konoha Anbu training course.
"This Five Kage Summit is the perfect opportunity to determine the position of Hokage in Konoha. Kaze and Torune, you two will accompany me as bodyguards."
The two nodded in agreement, Danzo's smile was radiant; one could even describe it as one of smug satisfaction.
My lifelong dream is about to come true. As long as I attend the Five Kage Summit, no matter how unwilling the Jonin in the village may be, those two old men will not be able to object.
However, the person we really need to be wary of is...
" Ryuma, go and clean up Orochimaru's people. Especially at such a critical moment, we must not expose our relationship with Orochimaru."
The Anbu not far away nodded slightly and slipped away to the room where Yakumi was temporarily staying.
The following morning, Danzo, dressed in the Hokage robe and wearing the Hokage's Hat, set off for the Land of Iron.
At the end of the street, Utatane Koharu and Mitokado Homura watched Danzo and couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"In fact, you are the best candidate to inherit the Hokage position. Why are you making excuses and letting everything your teacher, the Third Hokage, has worked so hard to build fall into darkness?"
" Danzo's personality destined him to protect Konoha only in the dark. When darkness is exposed to the light, the final result will only be a mess, and eventually, it will completely collapse."
The two Hokage Advisor spoke their truest thoughts, Jiraiya, paid no heed, his eyes filled with worry for Nagato and concern about his actions.
"With the two of you overseeing things, he wouldn't dare to drastically change the policies left by the Third Hokage. What I'm worried about now is Akatsuki. What exactly do they want to do with all those Tailed Beast they've collected?"
"I need to leave the village to gather intelligence. As for safety, with that brat from the Uchiha Clan around, there won't be any problems."
Seeing Jiraiya leave Konoha only fueled the anger of the two Hokage Advisor.
"Honestly, Sarutobi Hiruzen his students too much. Of the legendary Sannin, one betrayed them, one was lazy, and the last one didn't even show his face when Konoha was destroyed!"
Koharu's low grumbling was met with a helpless shake of her head from Mitokado Homura.
"Let's forget about the last one. Her return won't be of much use. As long as the illness in her heart doesn't get better, there will be no turning back. A doctor can't heal himself."
The two remained silent, gazing into the distance with complex expressions. They had always considered him a ticking time bomb, but now Konoha would have to rely on his reputation for protection.
The development of events will certainly not be as expected by ordinary people.
Kumogakure, Cloud Thunder Gorge.
From the Yugito was dispatched to Konoha to carry out the Konoha Crush Plan, Killer B was ordered by the Fourth Raikage to stay in the Cloud Thunder Gorge and not participate in outside affairs.
"Idiot! Bastard! My bastard brother's not here, so I'm sneaking away! Yay!"
As Killer B swayed and tried to leave through the door of his secluded retreat, he was stunned by the sight of a black robe with red auspicious cloud patterns fluttering in the wind.
"Hey, two uninvited guests. Here's your autograph, then you can leave on your own. Yay!"
With a swift movement of his pencil, he wrote Killer B's name in front of the notebook, tore it off, and handed it to the two of them.
"It was him?"
"Ah, terrible rap, terrible lyrics, without a doubt, this guy is the Eight-Tails Jinchuriki."
These words immediately reminded Killer B of some unpleasant memories from the past.
"Idiots! Bastards! You've been utterly incompetent since the beginning, you two are really annoying!"
The next second, two scrolls appeared from Hiruko's sleeve. Killer B was startled and quickly retreated.
Bang!
Amidst swirling White Mist, the figures of the Third Kazekage and Fourth Kazekage appeared hand in hand.
"I don't like waiting for others, nor do I like making others wait. Let's finish this quickly."
