บท 136: Chapter 136
Danzo looked around and found that the place was filled with ANBU, who had arrived at an unknown time.
Just like when he let his roots surround Kazuki!
This made Danzo increasingly unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Using the Mangekyō Sharingan in his right eye, he saw that the scene had not changed at all!
There can be no genjutsu that can confuse the Mangekyō Sharingan!
So... all of this is true?
Had he simply wanted to destroy Konoha and attracted ANBU, the two councillors, and Jiraiya?
But how could there be such a coincidence?
Ah!
"I can't tell the difference! I can't tell the difference!!!"
"Are you real or fake?" Danzo stared at Jiraiya, his voice cold and sharp.
"What is true or false, Danzo?" Homura said calmly.
"You've privately destroyed Konoha buildings and killed Konoha civilians. You are to be arrested without mercy."
Danzo glared at the crowd, then looked at a few villagers who had survived in the distance, crying bitterly. After a few moments of silence, he suddenly twisted his face into a wicked grin and laughed:
"Hahahahaha! It's all fake! Kazuki, don't think you can lie to me!"
As he spoke, Danzo ripped off the bandages covering his face and hands, revealing ten pairs of Sharingan!
"Come on! Try and catch me!"
"Sharingan? That's the Sharingan?!"
"Why does Danzo-sama have so many Sharingan on his body?!"
Many ANBU members were shocked, as were the two councillors and Jiraiya.
"Danzo, what happened to the Uchiha clan's corpses back then? What about your hands and your right eye?" Koharu demanded angrily.
"Hehehe, do you really want to know?" Danzo sneered.
"Gekko Kazuki, was the Sharingan you used just now yours? Or was it Uchiha Sasuke's?"
"Gekko Kazuki? Uchiha Sasuke? Danzo, you're insane!" Jiraiya barked.
"Insane? Hahahaha! I know whether I'm insane or not! Jiraiya! Aren't you the Legendary Sannin Jiraiya? Come, fight me with all you've got. I want to see what you can do!"
Jiraiya looked at Danzo's wrinkled face and took a step forward.
"Since you want a fight, then I'll fight you. But this is the village, and our battle may hurt more civilians. Let's move this outside."
"Move outside? Fine! Let's head to Root!"
"Danzo, have you truly lost your mind?" Koharu shouted, her voice filled with fury.
"Do you plan to lead your subordinates against ANBU and destroy both Root and Konoha?"
"Yes, Danzo. We don't understand why you've killed the villagers here, but if you come back with us and explain clearly, we won't make things difficult for you," Homura added.
Danzo chuckled darkly.
"Root and ANBU fighting each other? Just now, Gekko Kazuki killed nearly half of my Root elites. If you want an investigation, go arrest him and question him! But don't even think about arresting me!"
Danzo's voice grew colder. "Now, either let me go, or we head to Root!"
The situation reached an impasse once more.
After a long pause, Jiraiya finally sighed and relented.
"Let him go to Root."
A group of ANBU and Jiraiya escorted Danzo to Root. The two councillors followed closely, surrounded and protected by several ANBU.
Danzo eyed these people carefully, as if searching for something in their faces.
"This person looks familiar. He seems to be from ANBU…"
"This one too..."
Danzo noted that most of these ANBU were figures he recognized, which struck him as highly unusual.
"Is this a genjutsu drawn from my subconscious?"
Danzo sneered internally, but a seed of doubt gnawed at him. Was he in Kazuki's genjutsu? If all of this was false, then it meant that Gekko Kazuki or Uchiha Sasuke had mastered a genjutsu that even the Sharingan couldn't see through!
"Why? Why has the Sharingan failed?"
"Do the eyes, with the most powerful genjutsu, also have genjutsu they can't see through? Shisui, why are your eyes so useless?"
Danzo cursed in his heart, making his way toward the roots.
Along the way, he scrutinized everything around him, hoping to spot some discrepancy that would reveal the genjutsu. Yet, he found nothing out of place. Everything pointed to the horrifying truth—he had destroyed Konoha, and ANBU had captured him!
Before long, he arrived at Root. Everything seemed exactly as he remembered it, and several loyal subordinates remained behind.
When they saw the large group accompanying him, Root ninjas were as loyal as ever, ready to fight ANBU and Jiraiya to protect Danzo.
Using his loyal subordinates as a diversion, Danzo slipped away to his office.
"Even the confidential documents are here! Damn it! What kind of genjutsu is this?"
Danzo was so enraged that he knocked everything over.
Just then, Jiraiya defeated Root ninjas guarding the area and entered the office. He watched Danzo rage and said calmly,
"Danzo, have you come back just to see your office?"
Danzo ignored Jiraiya, continuing to vent his frustration. As Jiraiya grew impatient, Danzo suddenly looked up and locked his single, glaring eye on him.
"Kotoamatsukami!"
If this was real, he would control Jiraiya and take over Konoha!
If it was fake, Kotoamatsukami would prove useless!
In a few moments, Jiraiya's behavior changed. His mind was bent to Danzo's will, and he walked out of the room in a trance.
The two councillors were bewildered when they saw Jiraiya emerge without Danzo.
"Jiraiya, where's Danzo?"
Jiraiya didn't answer. In an instant, he appeared before them, seizing their necks with ironclad hands.
"Jiraiya, what... what are you doing?!"
The two councillors struggled in vain against Jiraiya's immense strength, clawing at his hands in desperation. But it was futile—their efforts were meaningless.
The ANBU guards, stunned by the sudden attack, hesitated for a moment before springing into action.
"Protect the councillors!"
Several ANBU launched an assault on Jiraiya, but his hair blocked their attacks with ease.
"Ninja Technique: Needle Jizo!"
Ninjutsu, shuriken, and kunai were all useless against Jiraiya's fortified hair, leaving everyone in awe of its strength.
Before long, Jiraiya's hair retracted, revealing the lifeless bodies of Koharu and Homura in his hands.
With a casual toss, their corpses hit the ground with a sickening thud.
"Councillors!!"
The ANBU were paralyzed with shock and confusion at the sight of their fallen councillors. What were they supposed to feel? Rage? Grief?
Danzo didn't care what they felt. All he knew was that he was immensely pleased.
He had long desired the deaths of those two old fools, and now, even if this was a mere genjutsu, he had made it happen.
"Oh, if only this were real," Danzo mused with a sigh.
And then the scene shifted.
He was not at Root at all!
Jiraiya, the two genjutsu, and ANBU had never appeared either.
The only person standing before him was a young man with blood-red eyes gleaming with menace and mystery.
