Konoha: Becoming a God Starting with Aburame

Chapter 199 Danzo: Ah, this damned forbidden pleasure!

Hidden Mist Village.

While processing official documents, Shang Yuanshi suddenly felt a throbbing sensation at the back of his head.

A pair of eyes with strange patterns opened on the back of his head.

"Lord Danzo, are you awake?!"

"Um."

Danzo spoke indifferently.

A pair of Mangekyou Sharingan eyes shone with an eerie red light behind the raw stone's head.

"Is Izanagi related to the fate of Izanagi?"

"One is a technique to change one's destiny, and the other is a technique that allows me to change my destiny multiple times."

"The combination of two eye techniques creates Infinite Izanagi!"

"I still can't forget the hesitation I felt when I covered for Tobirama-sensei. If I had been more decisive, the Hokage position would have been mine."

Danzo muttered to himself, that time he covered the retreat could be said to be the turning point in Danzo's fate. From a somewhat extreme ninja, he gradually became the root of darkness, forever missing out on the position of Hokage!

"Fate is so cruel!"

"But I now possess the power to defy fate! This is the power that belongs to me, Shimura Danzo!"

Danzo felt that the world was so wonderful, and the infinite Izanagi guaranteed him to be invincible. From then on, he could fly freely in the sky and leap freely in the sea.

"The Sharingan is so powerful, no wonder Tobirama-sensei was so wary of it back then!"

"And... Tobirama-sensei, you said the Uchiha are an evil clan, is that because you hate your tragic fate of not having the Sharingan...?"

Thinking of this, Danzo trembled as he used the original stone to power his body.

Ah, this damned forbidden pleasure!

Danzo tried to suppress the thought with his strong willpower, but the thought remained as firm as a rock, lingering in Danzo's mind.

Why did Tobirama keep targeting the Uchiha clan? Why not the Hyuga clan?

The caged bird incident caused enormous damage to Konoha. The branch family ninjas of the Hyuga clan only obeyed the main family and not the Hokage's orders, which even shook the foundation of Konoha!

It's highly likely that Tobirama knew the power of the Sharingan, yet he couldn't possess it himself, which led to his love turning into hate.

Danzo thought about it more and more and found that it made perfect sense. He found that the logic was indeed unusually self-consistent and he couldn't even find any loopholes!

The Thousand Hands, born evil...

Danzo realized he had almost betrayed his master and his ancestors, and quickly stopped the idea.

Tobirama-sensei, that's not what I meant...

What I mean is, Tobirama-sensei, don't worry, I already have the Mangekyou Sharingan, I will surpass you!

As he pondered this, Danzo shivered again, this time using the body of the original stone.

This feeling of disrespecting Tobirama-sensei...

This can't go on any longer!

Danzo spent a great deal of effort keeping this matter to himself, intending to bring it up and enjoy it alone when no one was around.

Danzo planned to enjoy this for the rest of his life!

Then, Danzo remembered the Third Mizukage's plan for a Hundred Demons Parade.

"Becoming a celestial demon helped me awaken the Mangekyou Sharingan, so if I can become the lord of all demons and monsters, I'll definitely become even stronger!"

Effort doesn't always guarantee success, but getting something for nothing is certainly enjoyable.

Having tasted the sweetness of becoming a celestial demon, Danzo coveted even more the title of Lord of Demons and Monsters.

I really want to improve!

Uehara Shi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Lord Danzo, I have already gathered the information about the ninja world that you asked me to collect."

"Tell me about it."

Danzo was quite interested in what happened to Konoha after he left.

Sigh, I wonder what a terrible state Konoha will become without me.

"The Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi, has stepped down, and now the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze, is in power."

-

Hiruzen Sarutobi

How long has it been since I last heard this name?

How long has this name kept him up at night?

Danzo felt somewhat dazed; it seemed like he hadn't heard Hiruzen's name in a very long time.

But this name, like the technique Izanagi, was deeply etched into his very being…

It made him want to shout out, "Ah~ Hiruzen!"

"Your disciple Shiichi has taken control of the training department, and Orochimaru has taken control of Root. They are currently taking advantage of the power vacuum caused by the new Hokage to take office to expand rapidly."

"After I faked my death, my disciple was supposed to take over Root, but now it's Orochimaru. Hiruzen, is it because you're jealous of my disciple's talent that you need to divide the power?"

"Hmph, Zhiyi now wields considerable power in the training department. It seems I can try contacting him and ask him to provide some assistance."

"If that doesn't work, I still have spies left in Konoha. These spies are enough for me to do some things. Shiichi, don't blame me, this is all for Konoha!"

Danzo had no idea that the spies he had left behind—no, it should be said that all the Root ninjas he had taken in by Shiichi had been brainwashed by Shiichi again.

If Danzo contacts them, they will definitely be tricked badly.

Ueharashi pulled out another intelligence report, opened it, and said:

"The Hidden Cloud Village has absorbed the Hidden Sky Village and developed the Sky Fortress. It is said that the giant cannon on the Sky Fortress can destroy a mountain with a single shot; the Hidden Stone Village has signed a contract with the Great Bee Sage to create Bee Food Pills, which can grant Sage Mode when consumed. However, it is currently under attack by Ryuchi Cave, one of the three holy sites for summoning beasts; the Hidden Sand Village is still extending the Magnetic Storm Coil in an attempt to expand its sphere of influence."

Danzo frowned upon hearing the introduction of the original stone.

The current situation of the five great ninja villages' power going out of control is something that even Danzo finds hard to understand.

Konoha was alright, as Shiichi developed the Augmented Armor under the wise leadership of his teacher.

But what about the other villages?

Are there leaders as outstanding as him?

The raw stone carefully sensed Danzo, then spoke:

"The Land of Rain has begun to close its borders, cutting off all communication with the outside world."

"Has Hanzo... grown this old already? What's the use of closing the country off? When the next Shinobi World War begins, the Land of Rain will still be used as the battlefield. The Five Great Shinobi Villages don't care whether the Land of Rain is closed off or not."

Danzo sighed, "Hanzo has finally grown old."

He still remembered the heroic figure of the two monks joining forces to hunt down the Rinnegan.

Let's exchange letters when we have the chance.

"Ueharashi, I want to become the lord of all demons and monsters, but I don't want the Third Mizukage to live."

"Then...then I'll go kill the Third Mizukage?!"

Danzo fell silent upon hearing what Ueharashi had said.

This subordinate is very loyal, but he's a bit slow on the uptake.

If you go and kill the Third Mizukage, let's not even talk about whether you can kill him, and who will hold the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) ceremony after you kill him.

"It's not the right time yet. Let's wait until the Third Mizukage completes the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons. What you need to do now is expand your power to help me seize the Lord of Demons and Monsters in the future."

"Yes, Lord Danzo!"
