As night fell, at the Shimura Clan's base.
"Tap~"
A very soft thud sounded. Shimura Danzo tore off the bandages on his arm, stood up from the tatami, and looked towards the courtyard.
Several Anbu members were lying on the ground, breathing evenly, a pair of scarlet Sharingan staring over.
In those eyes, there was no hysterical hatred, but an extreme calmness.
"Uchiha... Sasuke, huh."
Shimura Danzo said with a grim face, "Lin Ke, that talkative brat, must have told you a lot, right? Or was it Itachi?"
"Leave now, and I'll pretend you were never here."
The Uchiha before him was still an important bond for Lin Ke. Killing him would cause even him a lot of trouble.
[Chidori!]
"..." Uchiha Sasuke didn't speak, his hand flickering with electricity as he walked over step by step.
Shimura Danzo wasn't careless. He knew that Itachi had awakened the Mangekyo, and the brat who killed Itachi had probably awakened it as well.
Facing the unknown Mangekyo ability—
"Crack!" He undid the seal on his right arm, revealing the pale arm and the Three-Tomoe Sharingan embedded in it, and formed hand seals.
Hare! Boar! Sheep! Just as the Genjutsu Izanagi, which had been building up power, was about to be completed, he noticed that the little brat's eyes had turned into a strange Mangekyo shape. Before he could think more, his vision went completely black.
Including the Sharingan on his arm and his own eyes, everything went dark in an instant and closed, forcing the Izanagi to terminate due to the loss of materials.
[Genjutsu?!] Shimura Danzo subconsciously disrupted his Chakra to dispel the Genjutsu, but a real, piercing pain from Lightning Release: Chidori came from his chest.
"What you're using are the eyes of the Uchiha Clan."
Uchiha Sasuke's voice came from not far away, "You should be like a rat, an insect, secretly lurking in the shadows of a stinking ditch."
"Instead of standing before the Uchiha Clan."
"Squeak~" Shimura Danzo, whose chest had been pierced, suddenly created a huge tree with his right arm, forcing back the enemy who was close at hand. In the complete darkness, he didn't panic, nor did he directly reveal that he still had a Mangekyo Sharingan. After barely stopping the bleeding with Chakra, he formed hand seals and suddenly spat out.
Several Wind Release shockwaves flew out of his mouth, and cracking sounds rang out continuously as he demolished the house himself.
"Boom!"
The house collapsed, stirring up a large amount of sawdust and dust. As the smoke gradually dissipated, Uchiha Sasuke was still standing not far away, even having the spare energy to throw the unconscious Anbu members out of the courtyard.
"Cough cough~" Shimura Danzo knelt on the ground, blood dripping continuously. The bandages wrapped around his forehead had disappeared.
He looked as if he had no ability to resist anymore.
"You want to use Shisui's eyes?" Uchiha Sasuke's voice rang out.
[How could this be?! Was it that Itachi, or?]
Shimura Danzo opened his Mangekyo eyes, his mind racing. Just making eye contact could strip away Dojutsu and eyesight? Was this the Mangekyo ability that the other party had awakened?
Such an ability?!
He felt a strange anger. He had worked so hard to obtain so many Sharingan and mastered such powerful techniques, but the other party's ability was specifically targeted at the Sharingan.
If he didn't have the Sharingan, didn't have Izanagi, he wouldn't have collapsed so quickly, and he wouldn't have stood there and taken the Chidori.
With his strength, even if he lost his sight, he could still entangle with the other party for a long time. After summoning the Baku, the outcome would still be unknown, but...
"Cough~" Shimura Danzo coughed up another mouthful of blood. The Hashirama Cells on his arm, released from the Seal but without the Sharingan to suppress them, were eroding his body because he had used a large amount of Chakra to use Wood Release just now. Even if he could win this battle with the wound in his chest, he would still die.
Moreover, the Reverse Four Symbols Seal that he wanted to activate had lost its chance of activation as his chest was destroyed by the Chidori.
He raised his head, trying to use Kotoamatsukami for a final resistance, but after only seeing a pair of Mangekyo Sharingan with intertwined patterns, he fell into darkness again.
[I can't let Kotoamatsukami fall into his hands.] The blood in his mouth surged, destroying Shisui's Sharingan, and he fell powerlessly to the ground.
In the darkness of his death, he thought of the complex look in his teacher's eyes, the sentence [You will never become Hokage], and the news he had revealed to him [Lin Ke is leaving the village], his expression became much calmer.
[As expected, you guessed it, teacher. Sasuke won't give up on his hatred.]
[If I could defeat Sasuke, or capture Sasuke, things might have been different, but...]
"Did you destroy it?"
Uchiha Sasuke's voice came from above, followed by a scorching flame approaching his head, Shimura Danzo completely lost consciousness.
In the darkness, he seemed to see a lot, think of a lot, and left this world with unwillingness in his heart.
[I should leave too]
Uchiha Sasuke glanced at the enemy whose corpse had been destroyed. He didn't want to investigate whether there were other people in Konoha involved in the Uchiha massacre. At least, let the hatred end here.
He would bear the rest alone. —Land of Waves, in the forest near Lin Ke's base, early the next morning.
"Next is the second round of testing."
Lin Ke stretched his palms, held his breath, and looked at the stinky mud he had piled up not far away, as well as the villains he had caught with a lot of effort.
[If it fails, I hope you don't go to Warhammer.] He felt that this guy's crime didn't deserve this, killing was just a nod of the head.
Even Senju Tobirama, in his semi-transparent state from the Summoning Jutsu, couldn't hold back. No one told him that souls could smell odors.
It was too smelly, and the soul couldn't hold its breath. The stench seemed to drill into his body, making him feel unwell.
[Such a thing might really be able to bind the soul, but where did he get this thing?] Thoughts flashed through his mind. He watched the kid next to him start to move, and forcibly ignored the doubts and stench, and began to observe carefully.
The front was no different from the previous experiment. The magic circle spread on the ground, activated, and Chakra injected.
Lin Ke knew it by heart. Anyway, he was just a tool for releasing Chakra, and it was the same even if he emptied his brain.
As the Incantation changed, they gathered together, but a small problem occurred.
Instead of gathering around the comatose villain as the core, it was towards the pile of stinky mud.
"?!" Both the person and the ghost were stunned.
Foam and Hina, who were standing on the tree next to them and had been smoked away by the stench, didn't feel anything. They didn't realize that there was a problem with the technique.
[The Incantation has changed, it's different from the previous two times, what's going on?]
Senju Tobirama stepped forward, wanting to see clearly. The dense Incantation flowed on the stinky mud pile. It was clearly mud, but it showed a fleshy luster under the effect of the magic circle.
Then, getting too close, he felt an extremely strong attraction, and was involuntarily dragged into the mud pile. Before he could react, his consciousness fell into warm darkness.
The Summoning Jutsu was interrupted!
Lin Ke was sweating profusely. He had only come out for a while and the Second Hokage was gone. How was he going to explain this when he got back?
He looked at the mud pile that was still changing and gradually becoming human-like, and forced himself to calm down.
[Could it be reincarnation? The Second Hokage has been reincarnated? The raw material is a bit disgusting, but it seems to be turning into a human]
[But what about the Ninjutsu I want to learn? My external brain!]
Lin Ke's pupils shrank. He immediately realized that the biggest loss was not the village. After all, the village could still operate without the Second Hokage. He had really lost his strongest external brain.
The stench gradually dissipated. Foam curiously came over and looked at the mud doll that had turned into the size of a three or four-year-old child and the still comatose villain next to it, and said, "What are you doing?"
He knew that his boss's Ninjutsu was a bit strange, and it was the first time he had released a technique so solemnly.
Was it a curse? Using a mud doll to curse the villain?
Then why did the Second Hokage's semi-transparent body just dissipate?
"A little accident happened." Lin Ke replied with a straight face, and was about to let the Shadow go up and touch something.
"Crack~ Crack~"
The surface of the mud fetus cracked, revealing fair and tender skin. The chubby arms and legs quickly broke free from the shell, revealing a tender and familiar face, with wet, silvery-white short hair and that same old look in his eyes. One could vaguely recognize the identity of this little ghost.
"Second Hokage-sama?" Lin Ke asked tentatively.
"Could it be anyone else?" Senju Tobirama said unhappily. The powerful strength and adult body he had worked so hard to cultivate were gone forever.
The small arms and legs were filled with a healthy sense of powerlessness, which was simply turning him directly into his childhood self.
The problem was, without his DNA, how did they create a body for him? [This technique is a bit too evil!]
"Ugh..."
Utakata looked at the legendary Second Hokage exposing himself, his expression a little strained.
"Puchi~" Hina covered her mouth and giggled.
The Ninja Cat was a fun-loving Ninja Beast without any self-awareness. If it could be happy, it would definitely be happy. Remembering the cool, arms-crossed, powerful ninja from before, and then looking at the similar-looking little brat in front of her, she couldn't help but laugh.
Senju Tobirama's face darkened, and he reached out to cover his crotch, saying, "What are you still looking at? Find me some clothes!"
He was clearly an extremely calm person, but after becoming a child, he couldn't face the ridicule with his usual composure.
Moreover, being completely naked in front of others was a bit beyond his psychological endurance.
"Cough~" Lin Ke cleared his throat and said with a serious face, "It's not that we don't believe you, but first, you have to prove that you are the Second Hokage Senju Tobirama, right? So..."
"Tap!" Just as the people and cat beside him were ready to laugh, a footstep landed.
"Sasuke?"
Lin Ke looked at his friend who had landed, covered in dust, and asked with some confusion, "Why are you here? What's the matter?"
The Ninja Cat's nose twitched, noticing that the Chakra flavor on the other person's body seemed to have changed slightly.
Uchiha Sasuke was silent for a moment, then said, "I killed Danzo."
"?!"
