Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 170 Danzo Infiltrates Kirigakure

The silence, the deathly silence, was suddenly broken.

The ninja responsible for guarding the morgue was immediately trapped in the Sharingan's genjutsu upon entering.

Danzo reappeared, exuding an eerie dark aura. His Sharingan moved and jumped around on his body.

"The experiment on the Heavenly Youkai was truly dangerous. If it weren't for the Hashirama cells and Sharingan to help us adapt, and Izanagi constantly correcting reality, it might not have succeeded."

"However, great risks mean great rewards, and the success of the Heavenly Monster Experiment has brought me enormous benefits..."

The crimson Sharingan moved all over Danzo's body, surveying everything around him.

"The celestial demon—Mumu Lian—does meet my requirements."

Danzo carefully sensed his condition, and his rich experience made him realize that his current potential far exceeded his original potential.

"This feels so good. I'm completely integrated with the Sharingan, instead of just being able to use it with difficulty like before."

"And this isn't even the limit; I can become even stronger!"

Danzo muttered to himself, his body devoid of any signs of a living person, making him appear extremely eerie.

The Danzo that has appeared now is just a corpse; no matter how you examine him, you will come to this conclusion.

Because Danzo's body was completely dead.

After becoming a celestial demon, Danzo's true form was the Sharingan that roamed among corpses.

In other words, Danzo, who became Mokumeren, controlled his body through the Sharingan.

Danzo concentrated all his ocular power into his strongest Sharingan, the pair with three tomoe.

The three-tomoe Sharingan received immense support from the same source of ocular power, and the three tomoe rapidly rotated, showing faint signs of connecting together.

Then, the pair of three-tomoe Sharingan closed and began a deep process of gestation.

"This is too powerful. I need a safe place to nurture the Mangekyou Sharingan and rebuild my power."

"The Root ninjas in Konoha are not easy to use, so let's leave them in Konoha as idle pawns. They can be used to gather intelligence on Konoha and to find opportunities to contact Orochimaru and Shiitsu later."

"I'll take this opportunity to fake my death and escape. Konoha isn't a good fit for me right now."

After becoming a celestial demon, Danzo also needed to feed on the darkness in people's hearts to quickly increase his power.

Konoha won the Third Shinobi World War and received substantial compensation.

Just like a wild beast that stops hunting and begins to rest after it has eaten its fill.

The future Konoha will only be a place where people yearn for peace and stability, and it is not suitable for Danzo to develop in his current state.

Furthermore, since Hiruzen Sarutobi has chosen to end his era, those who depend on him, such as Danzo, will naturally also leave the stage.

The new era has no vessel to carry these old folks; their rights will only be taken away little by little.

Danzo summoned a bird-like creature and then transferred his Sharingan to it.

"Put the body back in its place and continue guarding it. You didn't see anything, and nothing happened in the morgue."

Danzo, who had parasitized a bird-like summoning beast, watched as the Konoha ninja, trapped in a genjutsu, restored his own corpse to its original position.

Then, controlling the bird-like spirit beast, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky.

Danzo was fully aware of Konoha's defenses and easily avoided areas under heavy surveillance, leaving Konoha without a care in the world.

Danzo, possessing a bird-shaped summoning beast, glanced back at Konoha one last time.

"Everything I've done is for Konoha!"

Regardless of what others think, that's how Danzo himself thought, and that's what he did.

"I will definitely come back!"

Danzo's tone was resolute as he flew towards Kirigakure.

He who steals a hook will be punished; he who steals a country will become a prince!

Of Danzo's plans in the ninja world, Ueharashi is the one who has developed the best, and has become a high-ranking member of Kirigakure.

Therefore, Kirigakure was also the place where Danzo could most easily seize power.

Given a chance, Danzo believed that with his years of experience in power struggles, he could quickly climb to the top.

Furthermore, Kirigakure is the birthplace of the Heavenly Youkai, making it a more suitable place for Danzo to develop.

"I want to become a high-ranking member of Kirigakure. It's all for Konoha. Kirigakure is too dangerous now, and the Heavenly Demons are too dangerous."

"All of this must be done to hinder the development of Kirigakure, and even to sabotage the future war between Kirigakure and Konoha."

"A few careless command mistakes could bring annihilation to the Hidden Mist Village's ninja forces."

"I know this all too well! And..."

Danzo's mind flashed through the information that Uehara had gathered through various means regarding the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) plan, as well as the Third Mizukage's preparations for the ritual to give birth to the Lord of Demons and Monsters.

"The Lord of Demons and Monsters... must be stopped! We absolutely cannot allow Kirigakure to threaten Konoha's position!"

The three-tomoe Sharingan on the bird-like summon suddenly lit up, demonstrating Danzo's unwavering determination.

Of course, Danzo said he also wanted to stop it, but his real aim was to seize the position of Lord of Demons and Monsters.

Because, after learning about the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) plan, no celestial demon could resist the temptation to become the lord of all demons and monsters.

That's power comparable to the God of Ninjas and the Asura of the Ninja World!

Danzo has lost too much and desperately needs new power.

Danzo will not stop his progress because of one failure!

……

Zhiyi is seizing power in the training department; it's a feast for the senses, and Zhiyi won't be absent.

Taking advantage of the power transition, Shiichi successfully planted his people in various bases through the project of cultivating giant armor.

Originally, Base 1 was Shiichi's private territory, Bases 2 and 3 were controlled by the Sarutobi clan, and Bases 4 and 5 were controlled by the Shimura clan.

Having lost their absolute position of power, they seemed powerless in the face of Zhiyi's offensive.

The training department is responsible for training forced armor, and they are at a huge disadvantage against Zhiyi, who has mastered the core technology.

With just a little manipulation, Shiichi could cause problems at the base controlled by Sarutobi and Shimura, and then Shiichi could take the opportunity to intervene.

One of the credits goes to the Root ninjas who were brought in from Orochimaru; these Root ninjas were tools trained by Danzo.

Zhiyi was very adept at using the skill to complete orders at all costs.

Sarutobi had lost Base 2, and Shimura had lost Base 5. They could only focus their attention on their last base and struggle to resist Shiichi's attack.
