79. Would You Like to Be My Disciple?

"They ran away?"

Danzo let out a sigh of disappointment.

However, he didn't issue an order to pursue them. After all, the reinforcement troops hadn't arrived yet, and their current forces had already suffered heavy losses.

On top of that, Rasa had the ability to fly, so even if they chased him down, they probably wouldn't achieve ideal results.

The best strategy was to wait for reinforcements, then launch a coordinated attack with Kirigakure, creating a pincer movement to severely weaken Sunagakure.

At the same time, this would prevent unnecessary casualties on Konoha's side.

After finalizing his plan, Danzo considered whether to lie on the ground and play dead—maybe he could trigger another reward from Shisui.

But before he could act, Shisui, who had just awakened his Mangekyō Sharingan, collapsed from chakra exhaustion right on the battlefield.

In the end, Minato carried him back.

Danzo immediately brought him to Tsunade.

After all, Shisui was a critical asset for Danzo's future plans. He had finally awakened his Mangekyō, and if he were to die here, it would be a huge loss.

Fortunately, after a thorough examination, Tsunade reassured him—

"He just passed out from overexertion. His body is fine."

Tsunade put away her stethoscope, casually letting it rest against her prominent chest.

"But you'd better warn this brat not to overuse that dojutsu. Excessive strain on his eyes will lead to vision loss—at worst, complete blindness."

Danzo nodded in agreement.

After all, in the original story, Sasuke almost ruined his newly awakened Mangekyō Sharingan just by recklessly spamming Susano'o.

If he hadn't later transplanted Itachi's eyes and upgraded to the Eternal Mangekyō, his terrible eye-care habits would've left him blind before the Fourth Great Ninja War even started.

Danzo looked at the unconscious Shisui, feeling something strange in his heart.

Who would have thought that someone as infamous as him would one day win people over with charisma?

Was Shisui the first-ever "Danzo fan"?

No, wait—Ryoma was probably the first…

Then did that make Sarutobi Hiruzen the "head fanboy"?

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I have work to do."

Tsunade had no idea what was going through Danzo's mind. After saying that, she once again summoned Katsuyu.

Countless slugs split apart, rushing onto the battlefield to administer emergency treatment to the injured.

Seeing this, Danzo quickly shook off his strange thoughts and joined the rescue efforts.

He sliced through massive rocks using Wind Release, pulling out injured shinobi from the rubble, before passing them to Katsuyu's clones for medical treatment.

After half a day, Konoha's devastated camp was finally able to function again.

But Danzo didn't rest.

Instead, he headed straight to the hospital, actively participating in treatment efforts.

When Tsunade saw him skillfully using Chakra Enhanced Strength to perform surgery, she froze in shock.

"Since when do you know medical ninjutsu?!"

Her entire face was filled with disbelief.

Who would've thought that Danzo Shimura—ruthless, notorious, and feared as the "Darkness of the Shinobi"—would one day become a healer, saving lives instead of taking them?

The contrast was too much!

Danzo simply replied calmly:

"I specialize in Wind Release, but that doesn't mean I lack talent in medical ninjutsu."

A soft green glow emanated from his palm.

"If necessary, I can use my abilities to save lives. Death and rebirth—they are not contradictions."

Hearing Danzo's philosophical speech, Tsunade just rolled her eyes and walked away.

She wasn't the only one confused—even Shizune found it unbelievable.

She couldn't help but murmur to herself:

"Lady Tsunade, Lord Danzo's mastery of the Mystical Palm Technique is truly impressive. He operates just like a seasoned medical ninja."

As a top-tier medical ninja herself, Tsunade naturally noticed this as well.

Crossing her arms, she muttered, "That old guy suddenly learned Wood Release, then medical ninjutsu, and now even Paper Release…"

A hint of suspicion flashed in her eyes. "Could he have secretly mastered some forbidden jutsu left behind by my second granduncle?"

Aside from the forbidden jutsu created by Tobirama Senju, Tsunade couldn't think of anything else that could explain Danzo's sudden mastery of these secret arts and bloodline limits.

Of course, it was possible that these were simply the fruits of Danzo's accumulated efforts over the years.

But considering her granduncle's extensive research, Tsunade felt that forbidden techniques were the more likely explanation.

Heaven never disappoints those who work hard.

The news that Danzo, despite his own severe injuries, was personally treating the wounded quickly spread throughout the camp.

As a result, his skill points skyrocketed, climbing rapidly until they finally stopped at 500 points.

By nightfall, after an entire day of relentless effort, Danzo finally put down his work and smiled in satisfaction.

But his tasks weren't over yet.

Just as he stepped out of the hospital, a familiar figure appeared before him—Minato Namikaze.

"Lord Danzo, the recent Sunagakure assault resulted in 412 deaths and 122 injuries among our border forces. That's a total casualty count of 534."

"Currently, we have only 845 combat-ready shinobi remaining in the camp."

"As for enemy losses, we managed to kill 214 Sand shinobi, including 3 Jonin and 7 Special Jonin."

"The majority of these kills were due to Shisui."

At this point, Minato's expression turned into one of deep admiration.

"I never expected Shisui to unleash such terrifying power."

Hearing Shisui's name, the dark expression on Danzo's face finally eased up.

"This is the power of the Uchiha."

He paused before adding, "The same power possessed by the 'Shinobi Shura'—the Mangekyō Sharingan."

Danzo gazed at Minato meaningfully and continued:

"If we want the village to become truly strong and peaceful, we must guide the power of the Uchiha. We must ensure they integrate with the village rather than stand apart from it."

Minato nodded in agreement.

"You're absolutely right, Lord Danzo."

Fugaku and Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan had given Minato a clearer understanding of the Uchiha's immense power.

If this power was not properly guided, it would become a threat not just to Konoha but to the entire shinobi world.

The Next Morning

After collapsing from chakra exhaustion, Uchiha Shisui finally regained consciousness.

The first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was…

Danzo.

Still dazed, he mumbled:

"Huh? Have I already arrived in heaven with Lord Danzo?"

Standing nearby, Tsunade couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Danzo's face darkened, and he snapped:

"I'm not dead, and neither are you."

Hearing this, the still-groggy Shisui finally began to wake up fully.

"Really?"

He pinched his own cheek hard. The sharp pain confirmed it—this wasn't a dream!

Danzo hadn't sacrificed himself to protect him!

Tears welled up in Shisui's eyes as he looked at Danzo.

"That's great! I'm so glad you're okay, Lord Danzo!"

Seeing how emotional Shisui was, Danzo's lips curled slightly into a small smile.

He gently ruffled Shisui's hair.

"Don't worry. I'm fine."

Watching this, Tsunade couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Since when did this old geezer become so… kind?"

Then, out of nowhere, Danzo suddenly spoke:

"Shisui, would you like to become my disciple?"
