Chapter 95: Who Wants to Know Their Fate?
Danzo suddenly stood frozen in place, surrounded by hazy illusions.
His essence was slowly being drained.
Fang Yi didn't mind. What was consumed would soon be replenished.
In total, he had spent fifty thousand reward points.
In just two seconds, under everyone's shocked gaze, the once-agile Danzo Shimura collapsed to the ground.
Hiruzen Sarutobi quickly moved in front of him, crouching down to help Danzo up.
But then he noticed—
At some point, Danzo's right arm had vanished in full view of the crowd. Even the bandages around his head were gone.
His right eye socket was empty.
"When did that happen?"
"No matter how fast your body flicker, it shouldn't be possible… Was it another strange power from another world?"
The clan heads felt chills running down their spines and instinctively put distance between themselves and Danzo.
At that moment, they couldn't help but look at the Hokage's advisor with pity.
To have provoked such a being—
Even Hiruzen Sarutobi couldn't save him.
"Mr. Fang Yi, please forgive Danzo's recklessness. Konoha has no intention of becoming your enemy."
Hiruzen lifted Danzo's sleeve to examine the damage—
and froze.
Danzo's right arm bore no fresh wounds. The area where it was severed was covered in old, gnarly scars.
Scars aged by time.
"Stop… Please stop tormenting me. Just finish it already…!"
Danzo's eyes gradually refocused. Once clarity returned, his entire body trembled violently.
He scanned the crowd—
Paused on Hiruzen Sarutobi,
Then the clan heads,
And finally, Fang Yi, still smiling gently.
It was as if he were digging up long-buried memories.
Five seconds later, terror bloomed across Danzo's face.
"You…"
Unable to withstand the psychological shock, he lost consciousness.
Hiruzen waved his hand. A blond ANBU agent rushed over, examined Danzo, and reported, "Lord Danzo is physically healthy. He fainted due to extreme emotional distress. He should wake up after some time."
Then he added awkwardly, "But… the damage to his right arm and eye doesn't appear recent. They seem like old injuries that healed long ago."
"That's good, then."
Hiruzen exhaled deeply. He had no idea how Danzo's right arm disappeared, but at least he was still alive.
He signaled for the ANBU to take the Hokage's advisor to the hospital.
Then, hesitantly, he asked, "Just now… was that Tsukuyomi?"
Itachi had once fully explained his Mangekyō Sharingan's powers to him.
To so thoroughly crush Danzo's spirit in an instant…
Only a Mangekyō-level genjutsu could have that effect.
But the vanished eye and arm—old injuries?
Fang Yi shook his head. "Tsukuyomi is a Mangekyō Sharingan technique. I don't have that.
However, players can purchase it from the game store."
In the game, a player from Kumogakure had already bought Uchiha bloodline, upgraded the tomoe, and was now just one step away from awakening the Mangekyō.
He couldn't help but sigh—
Kumogakure was truly obsessed with bloodlines.
They had failed to steal the Byakugan, tried to obtain Naruto's Uzumaki blood, and now they were investing heavily in researching the Sharingan.
"You can buy the Mangekyō Sharingan?"
The clan head of the Kamizuki Clan looked shocked.
Small clans like his knew of the Reincarnation Game but didn't understand it deeply.
The Mangekyō Sharingan wasn't a secret—
It was the symbol of Uchiha Madara, the man who ended the Warring States Era.
They knew full well the power it represented.
"You can," Fang Yi affirmed.
Some of the lesser clans still looked doubtful.
Hiashi Hyuga hesitated, then asked, "Mr. Fang Yi, the technique you just used… was it also from the Reincarnation Game?"
He had noticed Danzo's right eye socket was now empty.
That Sharingan had vanished.
A technique like that, if it existed in the ninja world, would pose a great risk to his own clan's Byakugan.
Even though he knew the game store sold Byakugan-like products,
Hiashi still stubbornly believed that only the ones passed down by the Hyuga Clan were genuine.
"It could be considered that."
Seeing the clan leaders waver and Hiashi's unease, Fang Yi smiled.
"Don't worry, Clan Head Hyuga. Time-related abilities require a minimum of Tier 4—that's level 100—before players can purchase them."
Time?
Everyone looked confused.
"This world… is not the only one."
As Fang Yi spoke, the surroundings began to shift.
First, the falling leaves froze in midair, as if gravity had weakened.
Then they stopped completely.
Time itself… appeared to halt.
Only the minds of the shinobi remained active.
"Genjutsu?"
"No… it's not genjutsu!"
Even those skilled in illusions shook their heads, stunned by what they were seeing.
A technique that freezes time… Was this what had just immobilized Danzo?
Incredible.
"One hundred levels…"
Sasuke looked at the bird frozen mid-flight above, clenching his fists tightly.
With power like that, destroying Konoha would be effortless.
Was it an illusion?
Of course it was.
Altering reality would require a massive amount of reward points—especially anything to do with time.
Even the lowest-grade Time Rune cost two million reward points.
Fang Yi didn't need to truly change reality.
All he had to do was make them believe.
"Like I said—becoming a player means having the power to change your destiny.
Which means… everyone in the ninja world is bound by fate."
Next—
Leaves floated upward.
The wind reversed direction.
Time rewound.
The shinobi stood frozen in awe, unable to move.
"Relax," Fang Yi said with a grin. "Just treat this as a pleasant little trip."
"If destiny is a river, then it has many tributaries. Your fates are not fixed."
"And from that… countless versions of the ninja world emerge."
All around them, illusions appeared—scenes of ninjas locked in battle.
Their attire was strange, from the Warring States Era. Their headbands bore family crests, not village symbols.
Time returned to normal.
The shinobi were now suspended in the sky, their vision expanded—like awakening the Byakugan.
"That's the Sarutobi Clan!"
Hiruzen spotted an area where ninjas bearing his clan's crest fought.
His clan, back then, had not been shinobi, but nobles from a small nation that was eventually destroyed.
Only then did they join Konoha.
"The Ino-Shika-Cho trio!"
Inoichi's eyes widened as he saw the tightly bound tri-clan alliance. Even in that era, they were inseparable.
"That's… Tenin Hyuga?"
Hiashi gasped.
In the Hyuga family shrine, there was a portrait of Tenin—an honored ancestor. He recognized him immediately.
All around, clans spotted traces of their own past.
Fang Yi looked around, his smile serene.
"So—who here wants to know their fate? It's free."
Free is often the most costly.
For once someone knew their fate, their spirit would be bound to it.
That yearning to break free would drive them to hunt corrupted monsters with everything they had—
And they would become the most loyal players.
