Chapter 121 - A Bad investment
Danzo didn't answer but his expression was very grim. He really wanted to slap himself right now. How could he forget such an important organization? How could he forget about the Rinnegan that struck fear into him?
' Damn it, was I struck with a Genjutsu? ' Danzo wondered as he cursed.
Letting such a powerful organization live and grow is not his style. Especially when that Rinnegan boy. He is too dangerous to keep alive. That Rinnegan should have belonged only to him. Only he can use it as The Darkness of Konoha.
While Danzo was regretting his past decisions in his mind, his body was not idle. He was constantly making hand signs to use wood release to trap his opponents while also shielding himself from the sneak attacks from Konan and that strange chameleon.
And although he was holding out against multiple opponents, he knew he couldn't keep it at this phase for much longer.
His chakra is running low due to the use of wood release. So he needs to come up with a decent plan to either kill one of his enemies or get the hell out of here.
Thinking for a moment, Danzo made up his mind to risk it all. He needs a decoy to make an escape route for him. After considering his options, he began to move.
Using a wide AEO wind jutsu to distance everyone from him Danzo locked eyes with Konan and activated his trump card.
[ Kotoamatsukami ]
Danzo shouted in his heart as he activated the pupil technique of his Mangekyou Sharingan that he took from Shisui. He wanted to control Konan so that she would switch sides and then use herself as bait to create his escape route.
Konan, who was about to attack Danzo with one of her paper jutsu, paused in the air as she held her in pain. She felt someone was trying to rewrite her memories.
Danzo smirked as he felt his plan was a success. He knew in a few seconds Konan would be his loyal slave. And with a Kage-level servant at his side, Danzo was sure he could make his escape. Although he had to pay the price of not being able to use his Magkeyou Sharingan for the next 10 years Danzo felt his investment was worth it. He could always get revenge against this Akatsuki another day.
Just as Danzo was sure of his plan's success, he suddenly felt intense pain coming from his right eye, which had Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan. Blood began to come out from it before Danzo could even do anything; his whole right eye began to light up with dark blue flames.
" Arhhhhhhhhhh " Danzo screamed as he held his face in pain. The Mangekyou Sharingan had just combusted into flames. This also meant that Danzo had to endure the intense pain of having his face burned.
"Noooooo, " but compared to the pain that Danzo felt, what hurt the most was the fact that he had lost his Mangekyou Sharingan. Those dark flames earlier had completely destroyed it without even leaving any ashes.
Kakuzu and Orochimaru, who saw what happened to Danzo, frowned. They both released their perception to the max and searched around warily for the attacker who just used that jutsu on Danzo.
Too bad for them, as they would find that person, as she is currently in her mansion drinking her tea while reading the reports Nanami had given her.
Yes, the reason why Shisui's Mangekyou Sharingan suddenly got destroyed was Izanami's doing. On that day when Danzo tricked Shisui and snatched his right eye, Izanami did something.
She secretly placed a curse seal on that eye so that if one day Danzo were to ever use its pupil technique, the eye would self-destruct itself.
Due to Izanami's meddling, the time it took for the Mangekyou Sharingan to synchronize with Danzo was increased severalfold. After all, the seals on the eye needed to register the new host chakra for them to work. This is also why Danzo had to wait for a whole year to be able to use the Mangekyou Sharingan.
....
With Danzo's sudden incident, the fight was at a standstill. Both Orochimaru and Kakuzu were tense as they wanted to find the hidden attacker. Danzo, for his part, was in too much pain to even concentrate on viewing any hand signs.
The first to come back to reality was Konan. She looked at Danzo with a bit of fear and spoke in a cold tone, " Orochimaru, Kakuzu, let's kill him immediately; we have wasted enough time already. "
And with her words, she pointed her hand towards Danzo and shouted, "Dance of the Shikigami. "
Suddenly, Konan began to break into countless pieces of paper, filling the whole sky. Then in the next moment, these countless sheets of paper began to turn into countless paper shurikens as they all rushed straight toward Danzo.
Danzo, gritting his teeth, used his willpower to overcome the pain as he shouted, " Wood Release: Wood Locking Wall. " 𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙥𝒖𝒃.𝙘𝙤𝒎
A dome-like structure suddenly came out of the ground as it blocked all the paper shurikens that were aimed at Danzo.
Then, without wasting any time, Danzo took out a kunai and used nature transformation to enhance it and block the incoming sword strike from Orochimaru, who sneaked up from the back.
Then after that, he moved to the side, dodging Kakuzu's tentacle attack. Unfortunately, Danzo was unable to counterattack as he had to block another sword strike from Orochimaru.
Seeing that he was getting nowhere with this, Danzo had a gloomy expression. He was completely cornered.
His only option is to go on a suicide attack while using Izanagi on himself. But with Orochimaru near him, he didn't dare to rely too much on the Sharingan.
That snake had studied the Sharingan and knew about its abilities better than anyone. And he only had two more Three Tomoe Sharingans to use Izanagi. And after that, he would truly be out of any options.
Just as Dannzo was hesitating, his instincts suddenly warned him off. And with his previous experience, he knew perfectly what it was. So Danzo tried to jump away from danger, but how could it be so easy?
Before Danzo could move a muscle, his whole body was suddenly restricted by some paper chains that came out from the ground. So under Danzo's horrified eyes, the sharp sword-like tongue pierced Danzo in the chest.
With Danzo's death, the most excited one was Kakuzu. As a person whose motto is ' Money is life, ' Kakuzu couldn't wait any longer, as he wanted to head to the bounty station immediately to collect the bounty on Danzo's head.
Just as he was about to take a storage scroll and collect Danzo's corpse, he saw that the dead corpse was disappearing into thin air. This made Kakuzu extremely angry.
How dare someone take his trophy? In anger, Kakuzu used all of his tentacles to rush straight toward Danzo in an attempt to keep the corpse from disappearing.
But how could such things stop Izanagi? His tentacles went through Danzo like he was an illusion.
' Shit ' Orochimaru cursed as he realized what really happened. As someone who had studied many forbidden jutsus, he certainly knew this one. After all his dear teacher spoiled him the most and let him learn any ninjutsu he wanted.
