Just what Lao Da wanted was for Shimura Danzo to be utterly disgraced and infamous!

He resumed his businesslike demeanor: "My duty is merely to convey information. The final decision on how to proceed rests with the Hokage."

If there is nothing else, please allow me to take my leave; the organization awaits a reply.

He bowed slightly, his movements swift and decisive, as if he had just dropped not a bombshell, but a routine meeting notice.

Watching Doma Taihei's gaunt figure disappear outside the door, Sarutobi Hiruzen leaned back in his chair as if all his strength had been drained.

The office was deathly silent, with only the smoke swirling silently, enveloping his heavy, leaden emotions.

Danzo's actions were even more insane than Danzo had imagined!

It can be confirmed that the root has completely escaped control!

As for the Sharingan, Hiruzen Sarutobi found himself surprisingly not angry at this moment, as if he had foreseen it when he learned that the Uchiha clan had been wiped out.

What a pity about the still water!

And this 50 million taels of silver was blackmailed by a newspaper using a scandal, and as the Hokage, he was unable to immediately plug this loophole!

I thought of many things, but I couldn't come up with anything that could counter the Ninja World Daily.

There's no turning back!

The exposure of the photos is almost a foregone conclusion. Konoha's reputation will suffer an unprecedented blow during his term.

This stain must be washed away!

Money? That won't work.

Trying to cover it up? That will only make things worse!

Sacrifice?

Suddenly, a sharp glint flashed in Hiruzen Sarutobi's cloudy eyes! His weariness and frustration were instantly replaced by an unprecedented sharpness.

Danzo's actions were far beyond those of an ordinary Konoha ninja.

Catch!

Arrest them immediately!

Chapter 118 So your name is Shimura Danzo?!

Let's go back half an hour.

Danzo Shimura's residence has now become an invisible prison.

The sudden "disbandment order of the Root" from that morning was still ringing in my ears, followed immediately by this ruthless house arrest under the surveillance of the secret agents.

He sat silently in the quiet room, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the table.

Hiruzen finally made his move.

This swift and decisive strike was by no means a spur-of-the-moment decision; it must have been premeditated. It's just unknown how much leverage this old friend has over him.

He sneered inwardly, but showed no sign of panic.

Although the Root was disbanded, all its members had already been firmly controlled by him using the most stringent curse seals and brainwashing techniques, and could be activated and revived with just one signal.

The current house arrest is merely a temporary confinement of his physical body.

He got up, strolled to his desk, and calmly took out a well-worn copy of "Romance of the Five Kingdoms," then leisurely brewed a cup of tea.

Amidst the wafting aroma of tea, he once again immersed himself in that magnificent world of power struggles.

Only this book allowed him to find a sense of control and the nourishment of wisdom amidst his predicament.

He especially loved the character "Uchiha Mengde" in the book—his deep scheming, ruthless methods, and decisive actions always stirred his emotions when he read about him, as if he had found a kindred spirit across time and space.

Rereading it now, and considering his own situation, Danzo's initial agitation from publicly refuting Naruto in the Hokage's office that morning gradually settled into a cold reflection.

"Indeed, we were a bit too hasty." He took a sip of tea, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

That blond kid, the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, was even able to defeat the First and Second Hokage resurrected through Edo Tensei. His power is now far beyond what it used to be.

My direct stance on the opposing side this morning not only revealed my intentions but could also escalate the conflict.

However, thinking of Naruto's immense and unparalleled power, a barely perceptible, almost greedy desire flashed across Danzo's withered face.

Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan, "Kotoamatsukami," is an ultimate genjutsu that can silently rewrite one's will!

If I could find an opportunity to apply this eye technique to Naruto, completely twisting his will and turning him into the sharpest blade in my hand, then what would this little house arrest and the disbanded Root matter?

The position of Hokage, and even the future of the entire Hidden Leaf Village, will be within their grasp!

This is the true way of political maneuvering!

Danzo took another sip of fragrant tea, but just as he lowered his head to savor it, he caught a glimpse of a figure sitting in the main seat of the living room!

A chilling coldness shot through my body like lightning!

The man was tall, with muscle definition hidden beneath his clothes, yet his posture appeared casual as he leaned against the back of the chair.

What's most unsettling is the bizarre monkey mask (Sun Wukong from Journey to the West) covering the face, and the pair of eyes behind the mask's holes—a gaze full of amusement and undisguised contempt, as if examining a novel toy!

"when.?"

Danzo's mind immediately went into high alert.

To be able to sneak into this place so silently and evade all surveillance, this person is definitely not a good person!

He suppressed his shock and anger, got up and strode quickly to the living room, his face so dark it was almost dripping with water: "Did Hiruzen send you? What is it?"

Danzo's voice was deep, carrying the accumulated power of the old "Darkness of Patience".

"Hiruzen? Ha."

A cold chuckle came from beneath the mask. Uchiha Rokutsurugi didn't even change his sitting posture, but his playful gaze swept over Danzo more brazenly, as if he were assessing an object that was about to be scrapped.

“You’re overthinking it, Old Deng. It was the boss who sent me to ‘pay a visit’ to you.” He emphasized the word “boss” deliberately, his disdain almost palpable.

"As for what you did? So you're called Shimura Danzo? You're pretty shady, aren't you!"

"A Sharingan supermarket on your arm, and a kaleidoscope in your eye? Are you trying to cosplay a magician? You think you're worthy?"

"Bastard!"

Danzo had never been so blatantly insulted.

Even Hiruzen had never humiliated him like this!

What alarmed him even more was that the person in front of him directly exposed his biggest secret!

Instantly, killing intent surged in his chest like boiling magma, and the bandage around his right eye felt like it was burning. He instinctively formed hand seals to unleash a thunderous strike, making this arrogant brat pay the most painful price!

However, just as his mind was ignited by anger, and his chakra was about to stir but had not yet moved...

His body! It didn't move an inch!?

Illusion? Impossible!

He has eleven Sharingan eyes on his right arm, and his right eye is even more powerful, possessing the Mangekyou Sharingan "Kotoamatsukami," one of the strongest genjutsu!

How could someone be under an illusion? But that's the only possibility!

Attempting to crack it! Consciously mobilizing the power of his right eye!

"Release!" he roared inwardly, his chakra surging as it crashed against the shackles binding his body.

However, there was no response!

"Izanagi!"

Danzo Shimura once again attempted to use this forbidden technique, which consumes the Sharingan, to change the reality of being controlled.

The trajectory of the technique took shape in his sea of ​​consciousness, and the power to alter reality by consuming a Sharingan seemed to be activated!

Despair descended instantly: there was still no response!

The Sharingan was still there, the chakra was still flowing, and I could sense that Izanagi had been activated, but the surrounding environment had not changed at all!

He remained in the living room, frozen in place! He couldn't even bend a single finger!

A strong sense of absurdity and a deeper sense of fear enveloped him—had he been trapped in an illusion without realizing it?

Is this sense of realism, this sense of chakra flow, also woven from illusion? What terrifying skill this is?

"Save it, save it, old man,"

Uchiha Rokutsuru seemed to see through all his struggles. His mouth under the mask opened wide in an exaggerated grin, and he let out a sneer, like a cat toying with a mouse that couldn't move.

"You know nothing about power!"

"With your meager strength, you're only fit to play in the mud in some nook and cranny. Don't show off in front of the true god! Behave yourself, and I'll have a chat with you."

Liutong adjusted his posture, crossed his legs, and said in a lazy yet extremely arrogant manner: "To be honest, I'm also quite curious. Which hell did you borrow the courage from to dare to speak ill of the boss and ruin his grand plan to become Hokage?"

His voice suddenly turned sharp, and even through the mask, one could feel the chilling killing intent emanating from him. "You think you're worthy of denying the boss?"

Danzo was instantly jolted awake by the reminder from the Six-Tong. However, he was even more suspicious and uncertain.

"The boss" is Naruto?!

He couldn't accept it!

But the terrifying power that ignored his Sharingan's genjutsu resistance and could completely suppress even Izanagi forced him to believe it!

This blond-haired kid has such a monster hidden by his side? And he's just his underling?

Danzo Shimura was internally struggling, but his years of experience allowed him to remain calm and diplomatic: "Heh, nonsense! How dare you juniors interfere in my affairs? That Naruto Uzumaki..."

He negotiated on the surface, but secretly he was exerting his influence.

The chakra surged violently within his body once again, defying all odds!

A seal? A cursed seal? A secret technique?

All of them are ineffective!

All available techniques were activated one by one, but they all seemed to sink without a trace. The torrent of chakra within his body continued to surge, but its ability to interfere with the outside world was completely stripped away!

He couldn't even make the runes under his skin glow!

For a fleeting moment, he even considered activating the sealing technique on his body to perish together with the enemy.
