Still, when Shinra looked at the state of his house, he couldn't help but frown, thinking that those shitty people were really ruthless, as it was burned and destroyed thoroughly. Moreover, as no one took care of it, and it was being investigated, considering how he had vanished along with Mikoto, his place was under investigation by the village's higher-ups.
Unfortunately, after so many months, or even a year or so, they couldn't find anything, and it was as if Shinra and Mikoto had truly vanished from the world.
Were they truly dead?
Or did they escape somehow?
Yet, without a doubt, when Mikoto had taken everything, whether it was savings, jutsus, knowledge, and many important records, the gains that those higher-ups of the village gained from the death of Uchiha weren't as much as they thought they would be.
After all, they had gained a lot after the destruction caused by the Nine-Tails accident, especially when Shinra had been focusing on developing the family business, so the Uchiha Clan was so prosperous, but unfortunately, all of it was given to the village, as compensation, considering the village thought of the Uchiha Clan as the cause of the accident before they had to start from zero, as they moved into the edge of the village.
Regardless, no one asked for his opinion when all of that prosperity was brought by him, and he lost everything before. In the end, he could also follow the Uchiha family to the edge away from the central area of the Konoha Village, which was prosperous and also highly valued.
When he thought of that, he really wanted to blast the head of Uchiha Fugaku, the leader of the Uchiha family, but fortunately, Mikoto had calmed him down, so he was all okay now.
Still, the past aside, he started to think about what he should do now.
Unlike before, even if he was in a world of ninjas where everyone had many ways to detect people who hid with various abilities, whether it was a sensory type of ninja that could detect others from a distance, or the Hyuga family that had a unique eye ability known as Byakugan that allowed them to have a 360 degree vision and even see through walls from a far distance, he believed that he could hide himself.
After all, the ability to hide his presence with the combination of the Observation Haki and the Supreme King Haki wasn't something that one could take on lightly.
Moreover, it also happened to be at night, and as a creature of the night, a vampire, Shinra was also easily becoming one with the night.
Unless he wanted to, no one would be able to discover him, especially when there was also Iro Iro no Mi, an ability to manipulate the colour of light and could make him invisible, and lastly, the new ability he developed from the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire, which was known as Provide and Receive.
The "Provide" aside, as it was an ability that allowed him to turn others into vampires and gave them various vampire-like powers, depending on how strong he wished them to be, the "Receive" was an ability that allowed him to acquire skills from the subordinates under the user's influence.
Yes, as his followers grew stronger due to gaining a new ability from him, in exchange, Shinra also could have access to their abilities, and naturally, as they grew stronger with their abilities, he could use any of them!
The power of an individual might be powerful, but the power of a group also can't be underestimated.
Unity is power.
As they grew stronger due to him, he also grew stronger due to them.
This was why he directly accepted the remnants of the Doflamingo Pirates. Yes, they might not be good people, but they were loyal, and their minds were better than those of normal people. More importantly, most of them had eaten the Devil Fruits!
And due to this, he could also use the power of their Devil Fruits!
"Sui Sui no Mi."
As he said so, the ground became like a liquid before he sank into the ground as if he were inside the water. This was the Devil Fruit of Senor Pink, a unique, yet manly, pervert middle-aged man, who wore a baby outfit, which allowed him to swim through the walls.
Yet, frankly, in his mind, the best thing about this ability was to change the property of the environment, similar to that of water, which, if it were developed further, he believed that he could cause a tsunami in the inland.
"Should I get the Byakugan?"
No, he might as well get everything in the Konoha Village, especially when this village was the richest ninja village in the world of Naruto.
'Ninja Village...'
When he thought of the existence of this ninja village, it made him sigh helplessly, but still, he wondered what he should do.
Should he just destroy everything?
With his power, he knew that it was possible, especially when he had the ability of Gas Gas no Mi. As long as he released a poisonous gas into the entire village, everyone would die. Even if someone could escape by using the Earth type of Ninjutsu, he could use the Suna Suna no Mi to turn everything into sand, absorbing all the liquids, and turn this place into a desert wasteland.
Yet, once again, being the bad guy definitely had no future; the antagonist had never been able to win, and it also annoyed him when he thought about how those people in the village, especially the one who had made his life a mess, labeled him as a villain before working together to take him down.
By then, the last enemy of the world of Naruto wasn't Uchiha Madara or Kaguya Otsuki, but Shinra Uchiha.
'It would be great if I could take this village away...'
When Shinra thought of the expressions of Sarutobi, Danzo, Koharu Utatane, Homura Mitakado, Uchiha Itachi, Uchiha Obito, and many others, who saw how he became the leader of the Konoha Village as their lives were miserable, he felt that it would be the greatest revenge!
Yet, how did he do that?
While he was searching for a method, he noticed several presences of a ninja, and quickly controlled the nearby bats, as he focused on his sense and Observation Haki, before he clearly saw the two ninja in masks, similar to the dress of Anbu, a special squad of powerful ninja directly under the Hokage, but he knew well that those people weren't an Anbu since—
"Why did Danzo-sama tell us to come here? There is nothing here."
"Danzo-sama's words are absolute."
"Yes, his words are absolute, but all Uchiha clan members had died in Konoha except for that small one."
In other words, this action was meaningless.
"We know nothing about the minds of great people like Danzo-sama. Let's just truthfully tell everything that we saw here."
"Okay."
There was no more nonsense since the faster they did their job, the faster they could finish their job.
Yet, what they didn't know, Shinra, who had been observing them, used the power of Mato Mato no Mi on them. He knew where they were going as they left, especially as the mark from the Mato Mato no Mi's ability was impossible to erase, so he wasn't in a hurry to follow them.
Still, no matter how he did his revenge, for one thing, Danzo had to die!
