"Eye..."
Although Kai didn't understand it very well, the Uchiha Clan's strength mainly relied on these eyes.
This group has always placed the importance of eyesight as their top priority.
It's not that no one has coveted the Uchiha Clan before, but if this eye weren't on a member of the Uchiha Clan, the cost would be enormous.
For an ordinary ninja, let alone using it, it would be considered a considerable amount of Chakra if they weren't completely drained.
Moreover, this group of Uchiha never hesitates to hunt down anyone who dares to covet their eyes.
Now there are guys coveting the Uchiha eyes again?
Who is it?
Shisui Uchiha didn't expect Might Guy to know anything.
Seeing that there was no danger there, he led the other Uchiha clan members away.
They will continue their patrols, and if they find anyone coveting the Uchiha eyes, they will tear them to pieces!
Deep underground in Konoha, at the Root's safe house.
"I will tear that despicable Sunagakure Village brat to pieces! Tear him to pieces!"
Shimura Danzō's voice echoed underground. Faced with his fury, his few remaining subordinates fell silent, retreating even further away, afraid of incurring his wrath.
The glow of the oil lamp danced on the damp stone wall, reflecting Shimura Danzō's increasingly gloomy face.
Months of house arrest, stripped of power, felt like being cut with a dull knife.
Hiruzen Sarutobi is taking this opportunity to give him a warning!
When did the roots that support the Konoha begin to decay to this extent?
He could only hide underground, writhing in impotent rage?
" Sarutobi, your compromise with Sunagakure will only harm Konoha. You should take this opportunity to kill that kid!"
Danzo whispered to the wall, a flame of resentment burning in his single eye.
His eyes were ruined by that foolish command at the front.
Of course, he himself wouldn't think it was his fault; it was always someone else's!
He is the most important person in Konoha!
At that moment, the shadows in the stone chamber suddenly came to life.
Ripples spread across the ground like water, and a strange humanoid figure, composed of black and white, slowly emerged, as if growing out of the ground.
Black Zetsu's ambiguous voice carried a certain sticky quality:
" Lord Danzo Shimura, being a trapped beast must be a painful experience, right?"
Danzo's single eye suddenly contracted, his body entering a state of combat readiness, his Chakra surging through his meridians.
Who are you? How dare you sneak in here!
He held a scroll One Light Seal in his hand, a being capable of silently penetrating the remaining barrier at the Root, making him no ordinary person.
"I am the messenger of Dawn."
"However, it's not the 'Akatsuki' from the Land of Rain that you know."
We are the earlier Dawn.
" Dawn?"
Danzo searched his mind rapidly, but found no matching information.
"A force dedicated to reshaping the world order and restoring the Shinobi World to its rightful state."
Black Zetsu glided forward half a step, his voice low and seductive:
"We have been observing you for a long time, Lord Danzo."
You have the resolve to protect Konoha, which is completely different from those politicians who only talk about peace.
Now, not only Konoha, but the entire Shinobi World is being led into the abyss by this weakness.
The leader the Shinobi World truly needs is you, Lord Danzo...
Danzo remained vigilant, but the other party's words struck a nerve with him:
"Who are you people? What makes you think that a few flattering words will make me look up to you?"
"Our very existence here is part of the power we possess, isn't it?"
Black Zetsu's tone carried a strange, condescending sense of assessment:
"Power never lies. With our help, Lord Shimura will truly possess power."
"Strength? With what you're, this pretentious charlatan?"
Shimura Danzō did not rush to make a move; the fact that the other party could appear here so mysteriously was indeed beyond his expectations.
Since the other party didn't make a move immediately, he was happy to gather more information.
Faced with Shimura Danzō's questioning, Black Zetsu's voice, which sounded like a pitcher plant when combined, shrieked:
"Of course, only power doesn't lie. Come out, Hiruko, and bring over the gift prepared for Lord Danzo!"
Upon hearing this name, Danzo's one eye flashed with anger:
" Hiruko is one of your people? He's been hiding it very well!"
Hiruko!
This genius who defected to me, provided many research results, replaced Orochimaru, and was obsessed with fusing Kekkei Genkai.
He's also a member of this mysterious organization?
"Although Hiruko's ' Chimera Technique ' is crude, its core is still quite useful for the plundering, fusion, and sublimation of life force."
Hiruko, his body wrapped in bandages, wearing a high-necked coat, and bound with straps, emerged from the shadows.
He was holding a tray with two green bottles on it.
In the liquid inside the two bottles floated a red eye and a lump of flesh constantly sprouting tree buds.
Danzo's gaze was fixed on the lump of flesh. He could feel the extreme vitality contained within it.
This is the power of the Three-Tomoe Sharingan and Wood Release!
He had painstakingly studied the power of the Hashirama Cells for a long time, but still had no clue!
"We know your thirst for power. Now, the two greatest powers in the Shinobi World are before you."
Black Zetsu's voice was like a viper's hiss, carrying a deadly allure:
"Traditional transplants carry significant risks and the risk of rejection. However, when combined with our ' Primordial Essence ' and a special harmonizing agent,..."
This can minimize the rejection reaction and even allow ninjas who are not of the Uchiha or Senju bloodline to more stably control these two extreme powers.
This power is our gift to Lord Danzo.
This offer was too tempting, so tempting that it made Danzo even more wary.
"Since you possess this power, why don't you use it yourselves?"
Before Danzo could finish speaking, the pitcher plant monster shot a wooden spike from its palm, which flew into the body of the unconscious Root guard beside it.
Immediately afterwards, countless huge, sharp branches burst forth from the Root the guardian, directly bursting the guardian apart!
"This is the Wood Release: Cutting Sprigs! You've truly mastered this power!"
Danzo knew the effects of this technique better than anyone else; it was truly genuine Wood Release!
This was the Wood Release he had been longing for!
Danzo looked greedily at the two bottles, his voice trembling:
State your conditions...
"Cooperate to capture the Tailed Beast, share resources."
Black Zetsu slowly said:
"Our goals are the same: to make ourselves stronger and our enemies weaker."
So, Lord Danzo won't object to dealing with the Uchiha Clan, will he?"
Danzo immediately understood:
" The Uchiha Clan is currently at the Kirigakure battlefield..."
"Exactly."
"The chaos of the battlefield is the best cover."
Amidst the mountains of corpses and seas of blood in Kirigakure, my men will assist Lord Danzo in reclaiming those evil eyes.
The ground rippled again, and another White Zetsu Clone emerged, its appearance beginning to change.
In the end, it resembled a mid-level Kirigakure ninja who had long since died and Danzo knew, even mimicking his Chakra fluctuations perfectly!
Black Zetsu leaned forward slightly, his voice even lower:
"When Lord Danzo takes control of Konoha and holds all the Tailed Beast that Hashirama Senju sent out in your hands, the entire Shinobi World will submit to you."
When the new order arrives, you will be the master of the new world.
That will be a completely new, perfect world that operates according to your will.
