The outer perimeter of Konoha Village's barrier.
Hiruzen Sarutobi stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the lone woman who had appeared before him.
The cool moonlight shone on her fiery red hair, making her beautiful face even more mysterious.
Mei Terumi.
Hiruzen narrowed his eyes, his tone wary: "You want to deal with Danzo?"
Mei Terumi raised her head solemnly: "Yes, Hokage-sama. On the surface, the Village of Blood and Mist has ended that cruel era, but in reality, Danzo has been secretly manipulating the Fourth Mizukage, dragging Kirigakure into an endless abyss."
She paused briefly at this point: "Danzo's ultimate goal was still to reclaim Konoha. But to achieve this goal, he was willing to make the entire Hidden Mist Village a complete sacrifice, a price I absolutely cannot tolerate."
Mei Terumi's words were forceful and resolute.
To stop Danzo, she took a risk and sneaked into the Mizukage's office, stealing a secret intelligence report on Danzo, all so that Konoha could see the real threat.
However, Hiruzen remained motionless, not even glancing at the information scroll in Mei Terumi's hand.
"How could Danzo's secret information easily appear in the Mizukage's office? You're too naive... This is simply a trap set by Danzo to lure you into getting close to me."
Before she could finish speaking, Mei Terumi suddenly felt a sharp pain all over her body, her eyes widened abruptly, and her expression turned terrified...
The next second, her body began to melt, as if controlled by a strange force.
Konoha's ANBU quickly went on alert, drawing their weapons in unison, their expressions as if facing a formidable enemy.
However, Hiruzen simply waved his hand, signaling them to calm down: "Danzo, what tricks are you trying to pull?"
In this chilling silence, Mei Terumi's lips curled into a strange and cold smile, and her voice transformed into Danzo's somber and low tone.
"Hiruzen, I just wanted to check on your current situation as the Hokage of Konoha... After all, Konoha has now become the darkest place in the ninja world, a place teeming with demons."
"A world of demons...?"
"If that's the case, why not just come back? I've always kept the position of Hokage advisor for you."
Mei Terumi's body trembled slightly, and Danzo's sinister voice echoed from her lips: "I have come here today not to return to Konoha, but to make a truly meaningful deal with you."
Hiruzen frowned slightly: "A deal? What exactly do you want?"
"Kurama Yakumo".
Since Tobirama's unexpected departure, Hiruzen has not paid attention to Yakumo Kurama, who was once a junior disciple of the Second Hokage.
The sudden mention of this name must have a deeper meaning than it seems.
After a moment of silence, Hiruzen quickly realized something was wrong: "Danzo, what exactly is your purpose in wanting her?"
Danzo, controlling Mei Terumi, spoke coldly: "Of course, it's to deal with Obito Uchiha. He's about to be completely assimilated by Uchiha Gen."
"Kurama Yakumo's ability to switch between reality and illusion can play a crucial role."
Danzo's words...
Hiruzen didn't believe a single word he said.
These were all excuses and pretexts; the only person he could think of who would care about Kurama Yakumo was...
Could it be that Tobirama-sensei has already... colluded with Danzo...?
"Kurama Yakumo is part of Konoha, and I will never hand her over to you, Danzo."
"Hiruzen, why don't you listen to my terms again?"
Danzo gave a meaningful laugh.
"If you're willing to hand over Kurama Yakumo, I'll tell you the whereabouts of the Mangekyou Sharingan left behind by the Nameless Uchiha. You sent Might Guy to search for this eye for a long time, but to no avail, didn't you?"
Upon hearing the name Uchiha Mumei, Hiruzen's expression changed drastically.
Nameless Uchiha...:
That powerful Mangekyou Sharingan, capable of changing the landscape of the ninja world...
When the Second Hokage, Tobirama Senju, secretly carried out the operation, only members of the Sarutobi clan knew about it, since breaking the nameless seal required the chakra energy of both the Senju and Sarutobi clans.
Danzo's precise mention of the nameless mangekyou Sharingan sent shockwaves through Hiruzen's heart.
Hiruzen had exhausted all his efforts to find a trace of this eye, yet Danzo had obtained the clue so easily.
"How...did you know the whereabouts of this Mangekyou Sharingan?"
Could it be that Tobirama-sensei left some message?
After Yakumo Kurama deciphers the technique, and by utilizing the transformation between reality and illusion, one can obtain the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Nameless Uchiha...
"hehe..."
Danzo smiled coldly through Mei Terumi, a smile laced with mockery and provocation.
"You don't need to know my channels. Just decide whether the information in this kaleidoscope is worth exchanging for Kurama Yakumo."
Hiruzen fell into a long silence.
"Can..."
Hiruzen Sarutobi stared intently at Mei Terumi, whose body was melting away like a candle, bit by bit.
Her once stunningly beautiful face now showed shocking signs of festering, like a horrific painting gradually unfolding.
Danzo's last moments...
The cold opening led to...
"Then, we'll make the deal this afternoon at Konoha Kokumo River."
Gu Yunchuan?
Hiruzen frowned deeply; that place had once been the site of the Shimura clan.
At this time, Danzo chose to negotiate there. What conspiracy was he plotting?
"Can."
As Danzo's sinister smile faded, Mei Terumi's melting body miraculously stopped.
Looking towards the lake.
Her face was completely disfigured, pale and bloodied, and she instantly let out a shrill, desperate scream that echoed throughout the entire barrier of Konoha.
Hiruzen sighed slightly and raised his hand, gesturing, "Escort her back to the Land of Water."
Several members of the secret service responded immediately and silently helped the terrified Mei Terumi away from the scene.
Hiruzen turned and slowly stepped into the Hokage's office.
A moment later, three solemn Buddha statues faintly appeared in the office.
The shadows in the room gradually spread, and the darkness, almost tangible, completely enveloped Hiruzen.
Just as Hiruzen was lost in thought, a silent figure emerged from the shadows—it was Might Guy.
A cold, deep voice echoed from the darkness: "Danzo will never hand over the Mangekyou Sharingan of the Nameless Uchiha. His true target is you."
Hiruzen smiled slightly upon hearing this, his calm expression remaining unchanged: "I understand Danzo's thoughts, but just as I do, don't I also want to use this opportunity to completely eliminate him in one fell swoop?"
"In this way, I will be able to retrieve Shisui's and Fugaku's Mangekyou Sharingan and completely merge them into their most perfect state."
Danzo and Hiruzen were once companions who grew up together, but due to the current turmoil in the ninja world, they are destined to become each other's nemesis.
Each of them held a Uchiha clan member in their hand...:
Fugaku and Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan
The only way to truly unleash the power of these Sharingan eyes is to completely eliminate the other and reclaim the other eye.
Hiruzen gazed intently at the slowly falling leaves outside the window.
He glanced warily at Kai, who stood in the shadows, but his expression remained unchanged...
No one knows that my strongest trump card is Matt Kay.
As one of the very few people in Konoha who has developed taijutsu to its limit, Might Guy has now mastered the Eight Gates.
He combined the Sharingan and Sage Mode powers he had acquired.
Might Guy's strength is a powerful weapon capable of turning the tide of battle...
Danzo thought he had a far-reaching plan, but little did he know that I had been secretly manipulating this gamble from the very beginning.
He thought he had the upper hand, but little did he know that I had been waiting for him to step into the trap I had set.
Danzo...you've never beaten me...
There wasn't one in the past...
There will be no such thing in the future...:
The only concern is that there might not be a teacher who has gone to the Pure Land.
Should they unite with Danzo...?
Meanwhile, on the other side, within Mount Myōboku.
Kakashi brought Naruto here to train in Sage Mode.
Kakashi, his mind churning, crossed his hands:
Wind Release: Spiral Technique pushed to its limit...:
My body weight gently suspends me as I float up...
Lightweight yet stable.
It flows naturally and smoothly, like water.
A gentle breeze rustled around him, creating soft, delicate ripples that swept past his body.
The next moment, his footsteps slid silently, the movements gentle yet containing the force of thunder.
Gradually, Kakashi's movements began to flow smoothly, each movement like nature itself in motion.
His palm movements were light and agile, his arms swaying like branches in the wind, soft yet strong, swift yet long.
Fukasaku and Shima, looking at Kakashi like this...
He showed a look of amazement.
"Kakashi-nii-san is so amazing!!"
Naruto, startled and jumping, was curious about everything around him, having just arrived at Mount Myōboku...
With each turn of his movement, Kakashi caused the surrounding airflow to rotate gently, forming a subtle and stable vortex.
Empty your mind completely and feel the rhythm of nature.
Breathing and movement are synchronized, and the body blends with the environment.
The dust beneath their feet was gently stirred up by an invisible force, like a thin veil fluttering in the wind.
The wind gradually intensified, and the air of Mount Myōboku was filled with an indescribable spirituality and vitality. Kakashi's every move seemed to resonate with the wind and waves.
Between gentleness and strength, we constantly feel and understand the essence of life and nature.
Finally, he stopped moving, slowly bringing his palms back to his chest. The surrounding wind and waves quietly dissipated, leaving only tranquility.
He opened his eyes, his gaze revealing an unprecedented clarity and resilience, as if every natural element that had just entered his body had given him new strength and understanding.
Kakashi's training at Mount Myōboku led him to a realization that wasn't about Sage Mode, but rather a natural state of being...
Eyes...
It's getting clearer...
My thoughts and ideas became increasingly firm.
Without any hesitation.
Protect those who are important to you, and stop Obito from destroying the world.
This is what Kakashi insisted on.
As for other struggles between Sharingan users, or the dark power struggles between villages, Kakashi will not get involved.
Next step...
It's the technique of the Ghost Sprout...
P.S.: I'm in a really bad mood today. I feel like I can't write anything. It might be related to my cold and fever. My brain is all over the place.
I'm going to sleep now.
