Chapter 22 Battle Group
Uchiha Gen, who was hiding in the shadows, was secretly observing Danzo's situation. His only concern was Shisui's eye in Danzo's right eye socket.
While his Mangekyou Sharingan might be able to counter him, Gen Uchiha still considered the risk too high. It was said to be able to change a person's will; if he rejected the contingency plan he had left behind, that would truly be disastrous.
Of course, there are risks, but they are not as great as one might imagine. His confidence comes from his eyes. For some unknown reason, during the last compensation, the system actually allowed a dead man to activate the Kaleidoscope.
Left Eye Recall: Records the current state and location, and decides the rewind time automatically.
Susanoo with the right eye: Amplifies any ability by 10 times.
The combination of these two abilities is a game-changer when it comes to escaping, especially since you won't go blind even if you're already dead.
Imagine this: you've recorded your current state, which means any additional effects or fatal damage inflicted on you by enemies during that time will be completely wiped out at the moment of rewind, and you can leave this area and move to a safe location in the recorded area.
However, if you use Susanoo and combine it with this ability, the ability changes. In layman's terms, it becomes: no matter when or what kind of control you are under, you will be immune to control, recover health and mana, and teleport to a nearby location you want. However, if you go any further, you will need to record and mark the location.
When Uchiha Gen first saw these two abilities, he felt a sense of sadness. For him, the ability to restore health and mana was dispensable, essentially giving him a super armor.
Although he could be immune to control, Gen Uchiha was worried about what would happen if he was under the influence of genjutsu and refused to rewind.
Danzo surveyed his surroundings and said, "What is your purpose? Perhaps we can talk." As he spoke, he secretly searched for the location of Uchiha Gen.
Uchiha Gen: "..."
Anyone who comes out is an idiot. Their goal is the Sharingan. For Danzo, having several Sharingan is equivalent to having several lives, unless Danzo is really stupid enough to trade his life for it.
Moreover, even if the trade were to actually take place, he wouldn't have anything comparable to the Sharingan.
Finding himself unable to locate the person or elicit any information, and realizing they were neither friend nor foe, Danzo slowly unwrapped the bandage from his right eye. "I don't know who you are. Perhaps you are strong, but your biggest mistake was coming to my territory to find me. Here, my power is unrestricted."
As Danzo finished speaking, his right Sharingan opened and transformed into the shape of a dart.
The moment it was activated, I suddenly saw a figure. Was it really an illusion?
Upon realizing he had been spotted, the figure rushed over, throwing several shuriken. At the same time, eight golden chains extended from behind to bind Danzo.
"Diamond Sealing Chains?! Uzumaki Reikawa! Joining Konoha, you really have ulterior motives! Tsunade is such a coward, she should have agreed to hand you over to me back then, I was the right one!" Danzo dodged the chains, mocking himself, it was unclear who he was talking to.
Not wanting to waste a Sharingan on this, Wood Release: Explosive Spear Technique! Instantly, a tree grew from his right arm, and the chain's attack was immediately trapped inside the tree and stopped.
While defending, Danzo took a deep breath and aimed at the target! With incredible speed, he fired several air bullets, using Wind Release: Vacuum Ball!
Uzumaki Zero River looked terrified, as if he hadn't expected this situation. He hurriedly released the Vajra Seal, but while dodging, he was hit by several wind balls, which tore his clothes and left several bloody marks.
Seeing this, Danzo narrowed his eyes, as if victory was assured: "Uzumaki Reikawa, are you curious why Konoha didn't support you back then?"
Uchiha Gen: ...No, I'm not curious at all.
"I intercepted all the distress messages you sent back then. How about that? Are you angry? The sealing techniques your clan possessed were too much of a threat to Konoha. It has always been a regret of mine not to have stepped on your heels when your clan was wiped out." Danzo said, subtly observing Reikawa Uzumaki's reaction.
But then he saw that Reikawa Uzumaki seemed to want to escape. Hearing this, he was immediately enraged by Danzo. Suddenly, he teleported behind Danzo and swung his kunai to stab him, but Danzo turned around and grabbed him by the throat.
Hehe, they took the bait!
"Your actions will be exposed before this eye."
Danzo looked at Uzumaki Reikawa, whose neck was being choked, and his Sharingan flashed. Kotoamatsukami! Danzo had planned to do this before. Even though Uzumaki Reikawa was willing to serve him, Danzo would still use this technique on him as a precaution.
In fact, if there weren't no specific methods to counter the Tailed Beasts, Danzo would have already taken possession of the One-Tailed Beast from Sunagakure. A village that has even lost its own Kazekage is better off being expelled from the Five Great Nations sooner rather than later.
All of this became possible after obtaining Uzumaki Zero River.
With a series of claps, the greatest threat disappeared, and Gen Uchiha stepped out from in front of Danzo, clapping his hands.
"So you've finally decided to let go? You're just going to leave your comrade to die?" Danzo said with a smile, as if he had expected this all along, and put Uzumaki Reikawa down.
"It's not a bad deal to exchange him for so much information about Lord Danzo. It's Wood Release, the same ninjutsu as the First Hokage."
Seeing the same white-faced masks worn by Uzumaki Reikawa and Uchiha Genji, Danzo's heart sank. He asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Are you an organization? What is your purpose in coming here?"
"Well, I'm sorry, that's a secret."
"A secret? How about I exchange this secret for Uzumaki Zero River?" Danzo said, observing his reaction.
Uchiha Gen seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Hmm? That's fine too. Although he's a bit useless, he's still more valuable."
Having confirmed this, Danzo decisively shoved Reikawa Uzumaki towards him. However, Gen Uchiha did not catch Reikawa, but simply let him fall to the ground.
Seeing that Reikawa Uzumaki didn't react, she kicked him and asked, "Are you still alive?"
Is there internal discord? Danzo wondered to himself.
"Since you've released him, I'll keep my promise. The secret is..." Before he could finish speaking, Uchiha Gen formed hand seals.
However, upon seeing the hand seals, Danzo smiled slightly. In Danzo's plan, Uzumaki Reikawa suddenly stood up, and several chains flew out, accompanied by the sound of tearing through the air—the Vajra Seal!
However, the chains were not aimed at Gen Uchiha, as Danzo had intended; the attack was still directed at Danzo.
Unexpectedly, Danzo was immediately bound by the Adamantine Sealing Barrier in shock and anger. At the same time, without giving Danzo time to react, Uchiha Gen used the Suspension Technique to teleport next to Danzo and dislocate his arm. However, due to Danzo's dodge, the arm was not completely dislocated, and it is estimated that one or two eyes were left on it.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye. Danzo's eyes widened in fury: "My eyes!!!"
Hearing this, Uchiha Gen, holding his arm, feigned ignorance and asked curiously, "I severed your arm, why are you talking about your eye?"
Enraged, Danzo suddenly smiled strangely. At this distance: Wood Release: Tree Root Burial!
Danzo's right arm instantly created a giant tree, which then engulfed the two of them. Uchiha Gen looked horrified, but he had no choice but to be swallowed by the Wood Release along with him.
At the same time, Danzo activated Izanagi, transforming the damage into dreams. Danzo suddenly appeared on the other side of the battlefield, and a Sharingan on his severed arm slowly closed.
Standing in the open space, Danzo panted heavily, looking at the closed Sharingan on his arm, feeling a pang of heartache. He turned to look, only to find that Uzumaki Reikawa was gone. Damn it! Although he killed one, the information was leaked!
