Danzo, feeling abysmal fear in his heart, used some of his sanity and muscle memory to make some one-handed seals. The one-eyed man spat a series of air bullets towards Ryuuji, who simply ignored the projectiles hitting his chest.
Approaching Danzo, Ryuuji grabbed the man by the hair and slammed his head against the floor.
While Danzo was groggy from the heavy impact on his skull, Ryuuji lifted his head and looked him in the eyes.
The redhead moved his fingers with surgical precision and ripped out Danzo's blindfold, making it impossible for the man to do any ridiculous tricks with that Sharingan.
Danzo screamed in pain as he felt Kagami's last Sharingan being ripped from his skull. Ryuuji crushed the eyeball and increased his grip on Danzo's hair.
The redhead threw Danzo's head back to the ground, but this time, he started dragging the man's face to the ground, leaving a trail of blood and tearing Danzo's skin.
" You know what, Danzo? When I found out that you were involved in the kidnapping of so many members of the Uzumaki Clan and that you were probably funding inhumane research where my brothers and sisters were used as guinea pigs, I just wanted to kill you. "
Danzo tried to react and raised his only available hand to make a Seal, but was interrupted by Ryuuji literally crushing the bones in his only hand.
Hearing Danzo's scream, Hiruzen began thrashing his body even harder, trying to get out of the chains and handcuffs that held his body to the wall. Unfortunately for him, both his chakra and his body were totally immobilized by Ryuuji's Solar Chakra.
Hiruzen, seeing that he couldn't help his friend, shouted to his only student still able to fight:
" Tsunade! Don't forget that you're a Konoha Kunoichi! Will you stand by and watch while a Konoha elder is humiliated by an outsider?! "
The busty blonde was very undecided on what action to take, but Ryuuji knew Tsunade wouldn't let him do what he wants to do with Danzo, simply because she's that kind of person. Very connected to Hashirama's ideals.
Ryuuji released his Adamantine Sealing Chains and created a small barrier around him and Danzo.
Ryuuji didn't wait any longer and continued venting his anger on Danzo.
" Dying is easy. "
Ryuuji grabbed Danzo's hair again and slammed his face against the wall, further deforming the man's face.
" You'll learn what pain is. "
The redhead once again slammed Danzo's face against the wall, this time dragging his face against the wall to further deepen the wounds and cause more pain.
" Danzo, you'll learn what loss is. "
Ryuuji kept Danzo's face against the wall, rubbing hard to inflict as much pain as possible.
" I want you to feel the same pain that my clan members feel when they remember their loved ones who were taken by you! "
Ryuuji's anger bubbled up in his heart and he kept mutilating Danzo's face by rubbing him against the wall.
" You will feel the pain of failure. The pain of knowing that your life and your dreams were destroyed by me. You will be afraid…every time you look in the mirror and see your ugly, mutilated face…you will remember me and you will be afraid! "
Giving one last push, Ryuuji slammed Danzo's skull against the wall, this time with enough force to literally sink a part of the one-eyed man's forehead.
Seeing Danzo in a catatonic state on the ground, Ryuuji placed his hand on the man's forehead in preparation to condemn him to a life of despair.
Before Ryuuji could finish Danzo, Mito stopped his actions.
" Ryuuji, my grandson...stop this. I promise that we'll bring Danzo to justice for his crimes, but if you continue with your actions, war between our countries will be inevitable. Trust your grandmother and promise me you won't do anything irreversible! "
Ryuuji smiled and looked at his grandmother.
" Grandma Mito, as this is the first time we've seen each other, I'm sure you don't know me very well. "
Ryuuji gripped Danzo's skull with his hands and began sending strong electrical currents into the one-eyed man's body.
" Grandma Mito…I don't make promises I can't keep. "
Danzo started to spasm as Ryuuji guided pure electricity to destroy every ligament in his body as well as his spinal cord.
Ryuuji destroyed Danzo's body in such a complex way that it was impossible for any doctor in the world to fix it.
To make sure that there would be no cure, Ryuuji increased the electrical flow and proceeded to destroy Danzo's chakra pathway system, turning the man into a veritable vegetable, only leaving him with mouth and eye movements remaining.
Ryuuji let go of Danzo's body like he was a bag of shit and deactivated the barrier.
Hiruzen started yelling at Ryuuji, feeling anger and humiliation for the inferior position he was placed in.
" Ryuuji Uzumaki!! This old man wants you dead! "
Ryuuji ignored Hiruzen and his angry screams and walked over to Mito.
" Ryuuji, do you know what you just did? "
" Grandma, I and Uzushiogakure are not afraid of war. Our clan was wronged by Konoha, how could I not take harsh action against these traitors? "
Mito let out a sigh before replying to Ryuuji:
" If you are here, then Uzushiogakure is still standing even after the war. Even knowing the suffering that this kind of conflict brings, do you still want to start another war? "
Ryuuji smiled and used simple Genjutsu to show his grandmother the aftermath of the war between Uzushiogakure and three other villages.
" You underestimate me, grandma. "
Mito watched the images in her head and an expression of astonishment came over his face.
" You really are very strong, Ryuuji. I confess I underestimated your strength. "
Ryuuji sensed that Mito's tone was strange, so he pulled Kushina to his side and hugged her.
In the next moment, the diamond on Mito's forehead glowed and black lines covered her entire body.
An aura covered Mito's body and exploded unprecedentedly as the decades-old chakra stored in the Strength of a Hundred Seal rushed through her chakra pathway, temporarily rejuvenating her body and totally suppressing the Kyuubi's attempts to break the Seal.
" I apologize, Ryuuji. But I can't let you take Kushina to Uzushiogakure. Despite all the mistakes Konoha has made, this is still the place my husband created to promote peace around the world and I won't let anyone harm this place. Neither you nor anyone else. "
Ryuuji smiled bitterly, feeling a great disappointment in his heart.
" I have concrete evidence about Danzo Shimura and Konoha's involvement in the disappearance of members of the Uzumaki Clan and will you still side with them? "
Mito closed her eyes, as if killing the pain in her heart.
" I'm not on Danzo's side or Hiruzen's side, just Konoha's side. I can't let Konoha be vulnerable to attack from other villages. Konoha needs a Jinchuuriki. "
" I also have proof of Danzo's involvement in the near destruction of the Senju Clan. Will you still choose to side with Konoha? "
Mito opened her eyes, with an expression of who would not change her mind.
" First I will ensure that Kushina stays in Konoha and after that, I will deal with these two trash who betrayed my husband's Will of Fire. Don't make it difficult for that old woman, Ryuuji. Konoha and Uzushio can still be allies! "
Ryuuji let out a sigh, feeling several things in his heart. Anger, disappointment and most importantly: Pity.
Ryuuji really felt pity for Mito Uzumaki, a woman who, despite being a good and faithful wife, was used and deceived by her husband's students. Of course that wouldn't change anything, because pitying her was no reason for him to put Konoha in front of Uzushio.
" I'm sorry, grandma. "
Mito accepted the fact that Ryuuji wouldn't budge and in the next moment, attacked her grandson with dozens of Golden Chains, creating a cocoon around Ryuuji, while pulling Kushina towards her with one of the chains.
Ryuuji, trapped inside Mito's chain dome released his Strength of a Hundred Seal.
Mito's chains that could easily hold the Kyuubi, began to shake as she tried to contain Ryuuji's Solar Chakra. A few moments later, large golden bones appeared around Ryuuji, bursting Mito's chains.
Not satisfied with just that, Ryuuji continued shaping his chakra. The golden ribcage around him grew until it became the full upper part of a skeleton, almost the size of the Senju Clan's hall.
Mito's eyes widened as she saw the scene in front of her. She swallowed hard, taking a few steps back.
Ryuuji continued molding his Chakra until the skeleton was covered in nerves, tendons, muscles, skin and clothing. A few moments later, a armor covered the chakra construct, with legs starting to show.
Ryuuji's chakra build destroyed the mansion with its size and kept growing, until it reached the 100 meter high mark.
When the warrior with armor, mask and two large wings appeared in the middle of Konoha, everyone was in despair.
" Enemy A-Attack?! "
Some members of the Uchiha Clan saw the golden warrior made of chakra and widened their eyes.
" S-Susanoo?!! Which clan member can use Perfect Susanoo?!? "
Inside a prism on the warrior's forehead, Ryuuji looked at Konoha as if he were a god.
" Grandma Mito…do you still want to side with Konoha? "
Tsunade, who was shocked by this turn of events, finally exploded in rage and used her strength to jump as high as she could. She screamed in rage and prepared to punch Ryuuji's chakra construct.
" Don't underestimate Konoha! I don't care how much shit Danzo Shimura did, I won't let you destroy my ancestors' legacy or bully my grandmother! "
Tsunade roared and punched Ryuuji's Susanoo with all her might in the waist, however, when her fist touched the chakra construct, all of Tsunade's explosive chakra was fully absorbed by Ryuuji's "susanoo".
Ryuuji ignored Tsunade and with a thought, Susanoo's arms moved to capturing Kushina from Mito's chains.
Placing Kushina beside him, Ryuuji smiled lightly.
" Don't worry about anything and just hold on tight, okay? "
Kushina nodded slightly with her head and hugged Ryuuji's body tightly.
Mito looked at Ryuuji, a mixture of fear, surprise and pride on her face.
" Ryuuji…I never imagined that anyone could evolve the Uzumaki Clan's skills to such a high level. You really are a freak and your future is limitless. But I'm not just anyone either, I'm the wife of the First Hokage and I'll fight for Konoha until the end! "
Seeing that his grandmother wouldn't give up, Ryuuji let out a sigh.
He could freeze his heart and kill her right here, but he didn't want to do that after such a difficult day.
First he had to face his grandfather, almost killing the old man in the process, after that he had to fight a war and now he is facing his grandmother.
As Mito's chains flew towards the golden chakra giant Ryuuji canceled his ability and flew at full speed, appearing behind Mito as if he had teleported.
" Sorry, grandma. Your grandson is going to be selfish today. "
Before Mito could react, Ryuuji hit her neck with the side of his hand, hard enough to make the woman faint.
Ryuuji bound Mito with one of his chains and restrained her explosive chakra, forcing the Strength of a Hundred Seal into a sealed state.
Tsunade moved quickly and appeared behind Ryuuji with her leg raised.
Ryuuji reached up and grabbed Tsunade's leg, preventing her from completing her destructive kick.
He also took the moment to feel Tsunade's soft skin and look right into her pretty face.
" Cousin…you are a very beautiful woman. "
" W-What?! "
Seeing Tsunade confused, Ryuuji smiled and sent a pulse of chakra in her direction, causing the busty blonde to fall into a Genjutsu, where she would find out everything Ryuuji knew about the shit Danzo and Hiruzen did against the Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan.
As well as other questionable acts that were done in the government of the two.
Ryuuji wasn't a genocidal madman who would destroy the lives of innocents just out of hate or anger, he always thought he was better than that.
But even then, Konoha couldn't go on like this and the best way to change the village was to make a person he trusted became Hokage.
Tsunade was one of the future projects he intended to implement, but now he had other plans.
Ryuuji took flight carrying Mito and Kushina, while Hiruzen shouted non-stop:
" Ryuuji Uzumaki!! If you're going to rob Konoha you'd better expect strong retaliation! That will not remain like this! "
Ryuuji smirked and took the trouble to answer the Hokage, his voice loud enough for almost everyone in Konoha to hear his words.
" Old monkey, Konoha betrayed the Uzumaki Clan first so obviously I will retaliate. Here and now, as the leader of Uzushiogakure and Daimyo of the Land of Whirlpools, I am officially breaking the alliance between the two countries. If you want to start a war for your selfishness, then you are welcome. "
"And you are going to kidnap the worthy wife of our First Hokage? "
Ryuuji tilted his head and looked at Hiruzen as if he were an idiot.
" Mito Uzumaki married Hashirama to further cement the alliance between the Uzumaki Clan and the Senju Clan, as well as the alliance between Konoha and Uzushio. That alliance doesn't exist anymore, why would I leave my grandmother in this shit hole?
I will take her home, where she can really live out the last years of her life in a happy environment, without being considered a weapon of mass destruction. "
Hiruzen growled in anger at the way Ryuuji viewed Konoha as if they were inferior.
" The Kyuubi belongs to Konoha! "
" No, the Nine-Tails BELONGED to Konoha until this moment. As the honorable Konoha Village didn't honor the agreements with my Uzumaki Clan, I'm taking the Kyuubi as a form of compensation.
If you are dissatisfied follow my previous advice: you and Konoha are welcome to wage war against me and Uzushiogakure. "
Ryuuji left Hiruzen growling like a dog and flew up into the air, wanting to get home as soon as possible.
Guys, while writing this chapter listening to Lofi I literally fell asleep hahaha. After posting this chapter, I will fall straight into my bed to rest from my exhausting routine of work and study.
Hope you all like the chapter.
P.s: I was inspired by the fic 'In Naruto: Reborn With Talent' when I wrote Ryuuji creating a 'Susanoo' with his ability to shape chakra. If you've never read this fic, I highly recommend you do.
