What is 419 minus 7?
Four hundred... twelve.
Although Naoki Senju did not keep his promise to give Danzo a quick death, Danzo still willingly cooperated with Naoki Senju. This was not because Danzo was a pervert, but because this method of diverting attention could alleviate some of the insignificant pain.
To avoid a complete mental breakdown, Danzo endured the immense humiliation and, in a state of extreme lucidity, accepted the punishment of being slowly sliced to death.
But such pain was not enough to defeat Danzo. He vowed that after capturing Naoki Senju, he would make him feel this pain a hundred times, a thousand times more!
However, Danzo probably didn't realize that his throat had become completely hoarse from his hysterical screams. Even from the outside, Danzo's throat was swollen. If it weren't for Izanagi, Danzo would have become mute even after his injuries healed.
Naoki Senju Danzo's hateful gaze, knowing he would never have another chance for revenge. Futsunomitama slashed down again. This time, Naoki Senju didn't ask Yamato the math question, because Danzo couldn't answer it.
Danzo's neck was cut open. Although not a drop of blood flowed, Danzo's soul was fatally injured. Combined with the bursting of the numerous wounds that had been there before, Danzo stared wide-eyed and lost his breath.
Danzo, however, felt a sense of relief, finally free from torment...
The 'corpse' on the ground vanished without warning. When Danzo reappeared, he was already over a hundred meters away. One of the Sharingan on his right arm closed again, and Danzo stared warily at the Futsu-no-Mitama in Naoki Senju's Futsunomitama.
If you get hit by this katana even once, you'll be at a complete disadvantage in the rest of the battle, so you absolutely must not get cut!
" Wind Release: Vacuum Wave."
Naoki Senju gently raised his hand, and a wall of sand rose from the ground, firmly blocking Danzo's Wind Release. Although Shukaku had the fewest tails and its Chakra reserves weren't particularly high, even releasing Tailed Beast Bomb was somewhat difficult...
But Shukaku's abilities are definitely the most convenient. It can attack, defend, and even seal opponents, and it doesn't even require Hand Seals. It's simply the most versatile Tailed Beast.
Danzo frowned, feeling extremely troubled. Wind Release posed no threat to Naoki Senju, and his summoning beast had already been severely injured by his own Wind Release. As for close combat... well, only someone with a screw loose would try to get close to that katana.
Now it seems that that's really the only option left...
Danzo made up his mind. There was no better time than now, and no one more suitable than Naoki Senju. If he could obtain Naoki Senju's power, the Hokage Position would be a piece of cake...
"To have witnessed Shisui's most powerful Genjutsu is something to be proud of."
Danzo carefully unwrapped the bandages from his head, revealing his right eye, which had been tightly covered. Underneath the bandages, as expected, was a scarlet Sharingan, and the Sharingan's pattern was not the usual Mitsudomoe, but a four-cornered Shuriken.
"So it really is Sharingan with special abilities... Lord Naoki, be careful of Danzo's Sharingan; that eye may very well harbor some kind of powerful ability."
It's hard to imagine what kind of Sharingan Root, the Shimura Danzō, managed to obtain for himself, given that even an outsider like him could awaken Sharingan with space-time abilities.
Danzo glanced at Kakashi, who was delivering the information, and regretted not using his ability on Kakashi earlier to make him willingly offer his Sharingan. However, if he could control Naoki Senju, he could still obtain Kakashi's Mangekyō Sharingan!
" Naoki Senju, witness firsthand the strongest Genjutsu of the Uchiha Clan, Kotoamatsukami!"
Danzo targeted Naoki Senju, unleashing the full power of his Kotoamatsukami Genjutsu, and began to rewrite Naoki Senju's understanding of the world.
However, Danzo was somewhat rusty with each step, as this was the first time he had used Shisui's ability. Firstly, there was no suitable target; Hiruzen Sarutobi was too heavily guarded, leaving no time to use Kotoamatsukami. Secondly, the strength and status of others were insufficient for him to become the Fifth Hokage, so Kotoamatsukami had not yet been able to unleash its full power.
Secondly, the intervals between using Kotoamatsukami were too long, Danzo dared not use it rashly, lest he encounter a situation like today.
Fortunately, Kotoamatsukami was saved until today, and the situation can be reversed this time!
Danzo was so excited he couldn't contain himself, constantly rewriting Naoki Senju's perceptions, such as, "You are a member of Root, Danzo is the leader you should serve, Danzo is not your enemy..."
Since it was the first time using it, Danzo didn't dare to modify it too much, lest Naoki Senju discover the traces of the Genjutsu. But it didn't matter; as long as Naoki Senju considered himself Root ninja, then the Cursed Seal exclusive to Root ninjas could be planted...
"Senior Inoichi, why have they stopped fighting?"
"Well... I don't really understand either. Maybe Lord Naoki wanted to give Danzo a suffocating feeling of oppression..."
"... Senior Inoichi, are you serious?"
Although the scenes of Naoki Senju torturing Danzo were chilling, it was alright after a while, especially for Inoichi Yamanaka, who had seen similar methods many times in the Interrogation Department, just not as sophisticated as Naoki Senju's.
The Interrogation Department typically tortured prisoners from head to toe. For example, they would be whipped with thorny vines soaked in chili water. One lash would not only tear the skin and flesh, but the chili water would also seep into the wounds. Even after the wounds healed, the chili water would still cause unbearable pain from time to time. Many prisoners endured the interrogation and confessed information, but in the end, they still committed suicide because they could not bear this inhuman torture.
Or perhaps it's to break the prisoner's will by locking them in a dark room with no light, but without restricting their movements. They can relieve themselves, sleep, and masturbate on the spot, and the next day they might end up sleeping on their own excrement.
However, so far, none of the prisoners who have entered the Interrogation Department have been able to survive until the next day. The soul-splitting torture, like that of Naoki Senju, is so severe that probably no one can endure it for even an hour.
"Notice, they've moved."
Kakashi reminded Inoichi Yamanaka, who was lost in thought, and the two of them once again became bystanders. In any case, since the Root ninjas had basically been captured, there was nothing more for them to do.
" Naoki Senju, come here, come here."
Danzo called out softly to Naoki Senju, but fearing that Naoki Senju was in disguise, he slowly retreated, always maintaining a safe distance from Naoki Senju.
Naoki Senju seemed to have truly been influenced by Kotoamatsukami; the look in his eyes when he looked at Danzo no longer contained murderous intent, but rather a look of confusion.
However, Naoki Senju did indeed obey Danzo's orders, slowly approaching Danzo's direction with his whole body relaxed, not appearing to be in disguise, intending to get close and launch a sudden attack.
